April 18. PoHtlcul tongue have been set going In Lincoln by the ad-, vent of Rnea Hammond of Fremont Into the race Tor , the Elmer Btephenson Job, as it was generally understood herfe that Mr. Hammond wanted no political Job, but rather he wanted to be viewed In the light of working reform for reform sake only.
