H THE COURIER. 1 1 9 9 9 9 t id-J CCCCCCCCCCCCC(K POINTS IN POLITICS O CKCKKKKK watermelon and a little ... . . A little green corn in Idaho caused a great commotion in Nebraska last week. Senator-elect John M. Thurston had an attack of cholera morbus, and pol iticians in this state had attacks of chagrin and hope. One would not have believed that the reDortB of Mr. Thurston's illnesB would have caused bo much excitement. Men who ordin- arily 4i, ;., ; ,i;5. m lOnJ UW JUlsV-Ob M irvriaiJD lUttU' ifested anxiety as to the real condition of the absent senator elect, and when favorable news was received there was a general feeling of relief. At one time it was reported in this city that Thurs was dead, and within fourteen minutes after the receipt of this false announ cement the politicians some of them had leapt the distanco between death and burial and arrived at the point where they ware ready to con gratulate his successor. Thus it is that we are very much alive in the midst of death. How the palpitating populist heart swelled with hope those few hours! What an important, personage the rotund gentleman who sits in the ex ecutive office and writes letters to the board of public lands and buildings had become, with the belief that Mr. Thurs ton had taken his place in an other than earthly Senate! If Thurso n had succombed to water melon and green corn certain ambitious gentlemen whose names are even now at the tip of my pen, were in a state of tension almost as dangerous as the cholera. But the watermelon and the green corn were not really in earnest. They were only trifling in the great -,... . ... " game of destiny. They carried the game far enough to show the depth of affection honestly felt for the newly elected senator and to open the gates of desire. The watermelon and green corn in Idaho produced a powerful object lesson here at home. The valHe and importance of the senatorship were appreciated, and patriotic citizens of Nebraska had the fact borne in upon them that it is a matter of some impor tance to have in the governor's office a patriot rather than a populist.

Thurston's attack proved Hall Mr. fatal, Governor Holcomb would have had the privilege of naming his success or. And that would have meant a great deal. When, last winter, Thurston was elected to the United States senate, there was much satisfaction that a suitable antidote for William Arincent Allen's inanity and gracelessness had been provided. Thuiston, it was thoueht. would more than atone for the " Diunaers and buncombe or Allen. :ine present governor of Nebraska owes his election to the same elements that gave Allen a place in the senate, and had there been a vacancy the state would have suffered the enforced hu miliation of a second pop senator.

Mr. liryan, personally, is the same admirable and bland gentle- man ho was before he deserted the Sundayechool for the rottrum; but heis a populist and is known to b a sub- scribe r to most of the heresies and vagaries so flamboyantly advocated by ouiteen Hour Allen; anu iNenrasKa, - -- . i .now thatsho is mercinc from the slouch w - w of populism, could not have profitably ta'ten a second plunge. Jtis often saidat conventions and elections that it doesn't make very much difference who is governor. It is really of the utmost importance, from the republican standpoint, that the gov- ernor be a. rennhlinan. and it in to hn hoped that the leaders of the party will have the good sense and wise judgment to ho arrange matters that the suc cessor to Holcomb will be a iepub lican. It is safer, much safer, to have a republican in this office. Mr. Thurston is probably on the threshold of a career that will give him greatness and the state a considerable measure of credit He has an unusually favorable opportunity to distinguish himself, and there is little doubt that he will avail himself of the opportunity. If John Sherman represents the sound money idea, and William McKinley the protection idea, John M. Thurston represents the broadly patriotic idea. The present. is a time when the Thurs ton kind of Americanism,- patriotism, is frrpatlv npffllrl in (hie nnltnlrf T ir. n , ,. m. . , mercy that Thurston was spared, The county campaign has not com menced; but Paul Clark and his co workers have not wait d for the com mencement to put in work for the ticket.

It is admitted on all sides, by members of all political nartips tVint tne republican party in this county has never put Up a better ticket than the the one now before the people. Indeed the feeling is generally entertained that it is the best ticket ever nominated by the party. With a strong ticket and a large republican majority in the county it would seem that there ought to be no question about the election of every man on the ticket. What reason is there, pray, whv anv republican should not vote for every re- publican candidate? There mav be ami ,n fact there are. ,ood . 1V1 t;,We. w ;, ' :.:."..'. atatrfUa - Da lUL 11.
