a gentleman whose roasting oven has,b
constant use, been rendered ineffective,
it is my great pleasure to welcome, on
behalf of the press of the city and state,
the gentleman of the auburn hair, and
assure him that we are glad to have
him with us. Mr. Courtney was intended
for a journalist, and as he is just in bis
prime, his friends can look forward to
his rising as high as Charles A. Dana or
C. II. Gere if the flying machine is
perfected in time. Mr. Courtney's liter
ary style is very much like Macaulej'a,
only Courtney's is a great deal better.
The rest of us are sure to be more or less
obscured by the new journalist, but we
will take our share of reflected glory and
let it go at that. Hero's to Col. Court

that, as a few men have assumed the

has not been admitted to the confidence
of Mr. McGlay, and we do not know his
plans; but it is only just to that gentle
man to sav that he denies that he has
entered any combination.
Here is what the McCook Tribune
says:
"The 'Three Mac' slate seems so far to
be having tolerably smooth sailirg un

date for governor must be given the
nomination or there will be war in the
camp. It is better to have a war and
the man the people want for governor,
than it is to be driven about like cattle
by the bosses and then be defeated. A
little of such medicine goes a long way
these times."
It is rumored around Lincoln and
Omaha, and the places where politicians
most do congregate, that the work of the
state convention will be pretty well cut
out in advance, and there will be noth
ing to do more than to ratify the slate
made out by the politicians. The
'three Macs" are said to be slated for the
principal offices Jack McColl for gov-
ernor, C. C. McNish for treasurer, J. H.
McClay for auditor. This is a very nice
arrangement for the parties interested,
and will save lots of trouble and expense
to other candidates. State Treasurer

politicians in the state, is said to be en-

From a column of humorous current
of the expense of "Jack" McColl, in

No good reasons, forsooth. What better
reasons can the Courier desire than
these? But no, it even makes sport of
those hallowed hirsute adornments, it
jeers at that beaming eye, it laughs to
scorn that hankshake, it even ridicules
the idea that because Mr. McColl cpmes

that is a sufficient guarantee of bis fit

"Some of the newspapers over the state

wishes of a well known state official now

left. There certainly are indications of

they no doubt will. The experience of
a few men getting together and endeav

a very unsatisfactory one, and if there is
any foundation in this new scheme, the
rank and file might just as well send in
their preferences on a postal card and
have the same O. K.'d by the combine.
We can hardly believe that McColl has
been entangled in this combine."
