C. H. Morrill has not as yet definitely de cided that he will not bo a candidate. If ho should conclude to make the race ho would have to contest with R. E. Moore in the Fifth ward. With John McClay a candidate for treasurer, this would mean three candidates for state offices from Lancaster county and all from the Fifth ward. Practically, the contest in the county would bo con fined to this ward. The other day somebody asked Tom Majors if he would be a candidate for governor again. Mr. Majors is reported to have replied: "No, I will not be a candidate; but never since I reached man's estate have I hesitated to obey my country's call, and if I am called there will be nothing to do but obey.'' Early this spring the brilliant and beautiful editor of the World-Herald uttered a prophecy. He said that the cause of frse silver was just beginning its onward sweep; that it would o'er whelm both political parties, and in Nebraska would submerge all questions ana issues. An attempt was made to hold a democratic free silver state con vention in Omaha last week. I doubt if anyone present looked for the onward sweep, of the cause of free silver. The free silverites were so busy keeping out of the back water and under tow of the free silver current that they did not have time to look for any onward sweep. As a matter of fact the onward sweep was not there. It was not doing business at the old stand. It had disappeared boots and baggage, body, soul and breeches. And the free silver editor, as he surveyed the desultory and disorganized mass meeting that did duty as a state convention, may have con cluded that prophecy is a good deal like sinking sand. The convention was a failure. Anyway it wasn't a success. Many counties were not represented, and the looked for swelling enthusiasm was noticeable chiefly for its absence. It is a fact that no longer needs demonstration that free silver has lost its grip in this state at least. It has suffered a remarkable diminution in the last few months. Coin and his little yellow book have been overtaken by the fate that reaches after all fads, and the people are once more regarding the money question rationally and soberly. The World-Herald thinks J. Sterling Morton is dodging the democratic presidential nomination. It was not generally thought that the nomination had approached near enough to Mr. Morton to call for any dodging, and then the secretary is not the man to dodge anyway. If he wants the nomination he will doubtless, at the proper time, eay so, and if be does not he will make public the fact. Considering the fact that Mr. Morton cames from bo far CLARKSON XAUNDRY CO. .... 330-332-334-336-338 South Eleventh Street. jmm-JTelephone 270. democrat and a citizen. There is considerable curiosity as to who will be selected chairman of the republican county central committee. As will be remembered the selection of the chairman was left with the candid ates. Sam E. Low and some of the other candidates have been out of town; but they will all be home in a few days and a choice will probably be made without further delay. A great many persons have been proposed for the chairmanship. Col. E. R. Sizer was suggested at the convention, and his name is still mentioned. George Woods is also suggested. A large number of the young men would like to see Paul Clark chosen. Others think W. D. Robinson would be the right man for the place. O. W. Webster has been pro posed, and it has been suggested that J. E. Houtz would make au excellent chairman. W. S. Hamilton is spoken of, and there is talk of Jim Caldwell. Beeman G. Dawes will probably be a candidate for city engineer at the ex piration of Adna Dobson's present term. A golden light shone through it everywhere, At every breath it brighter, brighter grew. 'Till suddenly a blast of outer wind Blew fiercely in at my half open door, And with an envy bitter and unkind Dashed my ethereal world upon the floor. I caught a gleam of red and yellow light, It was the last, it vanished in the gloom, And left mo nothing, nothing, to requite, JI bubble met a bubble's certain doom. Isabel Richey.

At least he is not going to give up the office without doing what he can to kei p it. Within the past week any body could 6ee with his eyes shut that Mr. Baker is stirring things up politically. Theclerk is engaged daily in chinking up the holes in his fence. It is a matter of remark that he has suddenly placed himself on terms of the closest intimacy with what is known as the negro vote. Mr. Baker does not draw the color line when he is hunting for votes. Then he is otherwise manifesting what the opposite side would doubtless call a per nicious activity. It is the prevailing opinion that Mr. Baker is a pretty good politician. that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatement. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the diBea sef and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have 60 much faith in its curative powere, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi monals. Address, F.J.
