found expression in the Nebraska club
and other similar enterprises, and Mr.
J. W. Johnson was credited with
having done much to give this move
ment its first real impetus. It is grati
fying to note that Mr. John
son has since been chosen as the
field niarehall of the Nebraska club.
There is no one in this state better
fitted for this work than he, and I expect
to see the new officer of the Nebraska
club stand up for Nebraska in a way
that will attract wide attention.
Some republicans in Nebraska are
said to regard Senator Allison's presi
dential aspirations with favor. Allison
is a good man. There are many good
men whom the republicans of this state
would hardly like to support for the
nomination for president. The Iowan
is enveloped in an atmosphere of frig
idity. Ue has the iciness of disposition
that is one of the unfortunate charac
teristics of Benjamin Harrison. If Alli
son is large hearted, frank, cordial, gen
erous, the people of the country hare
been doing him an injustice. The fact
that the senator has managed to find
his way to the affection of Mr. Rose
water is not conclusive evidence that he
ought to be supported by Nebraska re
publicans or that he ought to be nomi.
oated. Allison sits in retirement wait
ing for the people to come to him. He
will not come to the people. He is not
Mahomet and the people are not like
the mountain. They will not go to
him.
Some Nebraska republican papers are
opposing the organization of McKinley
clubs as impalitic. Some editors assert
that the McKinley movement has its
origin in the republican state league,
and that Mr. Collins, the president of
the league, is using his position to ad.
vance the interests of McKinley. I
notice that most of the papers who ob
ject to the club idea are in close prox
imity to some aspiring politician who
wants to go to the national convention
for what there is in it There can be no
proper objection to the organization of
these clubs. The sentiment of the state,
so far as the republicans is concerned,
m overwhelmingly for McKinley, and
the clubs ase designed to crystallize that
sentiment. It must be remembered
that the McKinley clubs are republican
dabs. If McKinley is not nominated
the clubs will loyally support the choice
of the convention, whoever he may be.
So far as Mr. Collins is concerned it has
not developed that he has acted im
properly. The fact that he is president
of the state league ought not to neces
sarily stop him from exhibiting zeal for
McKinley as a republican and a citizen.
He has not sought to organize McKin
ley clubs as president of the league. He
is simply one of a committee of arrange
ments which has no connection with the
league. No man who sincerely desires
.to aee McKinley Dominated will make
objection to the formation of McKinley
clubs.
Ex-Senator Manderson is receiving
considerable notice as a prospective can
didate for president. That gentleman's
popularity is evidenced in the many
complimentary expressions from various
parts ef the country following the re
port that he may be a candidate. Mr.
Maadersoo is a strong man. Like many
another prophet he has received a more
flattering tribute from the neople of
the country, from other states, than
from his own home. Jealousies and
nearness sometimes prevent a great man
from receiving his just due at the hands
of his neighbors. NebraskanB hardly
appreciate the hold which this man has
on the general public. Munderson was
one of the foremost men in Washington
during his last six years of service in
the senate. There, among the leaders
of the republican party, be was regarded
as himself a leader. And apart from
politics he enjoyed a reputation as a
man of ability and patriotism, honorable
in all his dealings. Manuerson never,
in all his life, caused a sensation, lie
never uttered a word of bombast. He
never acted the part of a demagogue.
He was never anything but dignified
and honest and conservative. His repu
tation did not come to him through
notoriety. He is respected. People
have confidence in him. It would be a
fine thing to have the president of the
United States come from Nebraska. Mr.
Manderson is in evnry way qualified for
the office and he would make a good
president. But it is not possible under
the circumstances that exist in this
year of our Lord, 189G, that the republi
can nominee for president vill be taken
from this state, and the talk that is now
being indulged in is idle. It is possible
that, under certain conditions, Mr.
Manderson might be selected as the
candidate of the republican party for
vice-president.
Surely, if it is possible to obtain -any
honorable recognition for Mr. Mander
son at the St. Louis convention the
delegates from Nebraska will be glad
to secure it. The real friends of the ex
senator will be entirely satisfied to leave
bis interests in the keeping of a delega
tion favorable to McKinley for presi
dent. Mr. Manderson and Major Mc"
Kinley are friends and are bound to
gether by similar political ideas. Mc
Kinley 'a frienda are to a considerable
extent, Mandereon's friends. The ob
jection to a Manderson delegation from
this 6tate is not that the people of Ne
braska do not want to support Mander
son. It springs from a distrust of the
men who are booming Manderson. It
is noticeable that the men who are op
posed to McKinley are ail running to
the Manderson cover, and there is a
suspicion that the Manderson move
ment, without any connivance on the
part of the ex-senator, is being advanced
solely for the purpose of defeating in
structions for McKinley to the end that
the politicians may capture the delega
tion and barter its vote for offices for
themselves. It has doubtless been ob
served that nearly every man who is
urging Manderson is a candidate for a
federal office. The question in Nebraska
is much the same as in Wisconsin and
half a dozen other states. Shall the
delegation to the republican national
convention be instructed for McKinley,
as the choice of three fourths of the re
publican voters of the state, or shall it
go to St. Louis uninstructed or with
a straw candidate, for the politicians to
use in dishonorable trading for office?
Theoretically, no delegation sho .Id be
instructed. But when the question re
solves itself into the proposition, instruc
tions or a disgraceful sale of the state's
vote, most proper minded persons will
favor instructions. The republicans of
Nebraska want McKinley. The delega
tion representing them should go to St.
Louis to carry out their wishes. Mr.
Manderson is a keen and honest man,
and he must certainly understand the
position. I predict that he will, before
the Nebraska delegates are selected,
emphatically decline to be a candidate.
The News, which by the way, is one
of the most able and zealous journalistic
champions of McKinley in this state,
says: "The fact of the matter is-that
