It. is evident to the person who kooi

n that a majority of voters of this sec
m of Nebraska do not desire the olei
m of James W. Dawcs to the oxecutiv
lice.Vhatover may bo the cause c

ire from his injudicious nnd undue 01
ciso of the pardoning power and intoi

From ether portions of the state w
ar this samp complaint against th

jed people. True Gov , Dawos may b

the people should not suffer by rcnsoi

company. "First rate , " replied ho ;
0 are pushing the work right along in
ry part of the city , and our work is
ing general satisfaction. Asphalt is
nd to bo the favorite pavement in
aha and in every other city when-
r it ia put down properly. It is bo-
nsod to-day moro extensively in
: opo than any ether kind of pavement.

Squires , who handed the BEE man
utter from Max Meyer , from which
following is extracted : "Since I left

Id. I first wont to London , where I
a great many streets paved with as-
U , and npon inquiry 1 learned that

( r much. In fact they are taking up

it with asphalt or wood. In the wood

ess paving with asphalt or wood , but
stone or granite is being

o weeks ngo , and have had ample
s and opportunity to got around this
, I think it would do you good , as
asphalt man , to ecu what they
doing here. It acorns as if
the town is torn up.
granite is being taken up
replaced with asphalt , and at a much
lor price than wo are paying In Oma
ha. Upon inquiry I find thnt they pay
for the equaro motor n triilo moro than
a ynrd sixteen marks , or nbout $1.00 ,
and while they can have stone much
cheaper they prefer asphalt. Slnco I hnvo
scon all this I have felt sorry tlmt a fotr
old-nioss-bncks , who never lonvo their
shell , could carry their point to have
Fnrnain street paved with granite , nnd I
think they will live to see it taken up and
replaced with asphalt. You can bo na-
sured of ono thing nnd that ia that I am
for asphalt now for nil our level streola ,
