THE COURIER. w .-1 POINTS IN POLITICS ( A little watermelon and 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 reports of Mr. Thurston's illness would have caused so much excitement. Men who ordin arily take no interest in politics man 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 distances 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 geatleman who sits in the ex ecaiive bfice 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 Tburson 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 elated senator and to open the gates of desire. The watermelon and green corn in Idaho produced a powerful object lesson here at home. The value and importance of the eenatorship 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. Pat riottem and populism do not, as a rule, go in double harness. Bad Mr. ThurstonB attack proved 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 Vincent Allen's inanity and gracelessness had been provided. Thuiston, it was thought, would more than atone for the blunders and buncombe of Allen. The 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. In the present uncertain condition of tlMfMfrCs&CfrC-''M f FOR amen GOTO OFFIGE 1W0 0 Street t Richards Block PHONES S&3 and 486 YARDS Uth and Y FMHMitOSSSeS6MC-fr affairs in congress there is no telling what effect this might have had on the politics and welfare of the nation. Holcomb is not commonly supposed to be in the inner circle of the worship pers of Bryan; but it would not-have been surprising if he had, underpressure named the statesman whose star ie just now eclipsed. Mr. Bryan, personally, is the same admirable and bland gentle man ho was before he deserted the Sunday school for the roetrutn; but hois a populist and is known to bo a sub scriber to most of the heresies and vagaries so flamboyantly advocated by Fourteen Hour Allen; and Nebraska, now thatshe is merging from the slough of populism, could not have profitably taken a second plunge. Jtia often said at 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 republican, and it is to be hoped that the leaders of the party will have the good sense and wise j adgment to so arrange matters that the suc cessor to Holcomb will be a tepub lican. It is safer, much safer, to have a republican in this office. Mr. Ihurston 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 Bound 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 greatly needed in this country. It is a mercy that Thurston was spared. The county campaign has not com menced; but Paul Clark and his co workers have not wuiti d for the com mencement to put in work for the ticket. A great deal of prelimin inary work has been done, and things are in excellent shape. As the time for election draws near the confidence in a sweeping republican victory is in crease:. It is admitted on all sides, by members of all political parties, that the 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, why any republican should not vote for every re publican candidate? There may be, and in fact there are, good men on the other tickets; but if one is a republican he can surely find no reason for going out side of the party for a candidate. The indications are that the republican victory will be decisive-and complete. If the young men are largely repre sented on the ticket, the veterans have also a place, ana one of the elements of 93.00 Commutation pickets for f2.75 Good Meals 1 5 cent and np.

Proprietor. strength of the republican party in the approaching campaign will be the vet eran republicans who are candidates. If any man deserves well of his party it is John Tromren. Trompen is hon estly entitled to the full republican vote. If a residence of more than 20 years in the county, a quarter century of devotion to the party, and a life long honorable business career, do not entitle a man to the respect and good will and votes of his party, then what does? John Trompen is a popular citizen and a good republican. His name ought to strength en the ticket. And Captain Trimble, the candidate for county clerk. Mr. Trim ble is an old soldier, and an old res ident of the county. He is thoroughly respected, and his nomination is em inently satisfactory to the older mem bers of the party. The coming state convention will not be wholly devoid of interest; but it will not be wildly exciting. Judge Norval will be re nominated, of course. This judge has made an excellent record on the supreme bench. He has served the state well. He is popular with the bar.
