It will be observed that the indepen- dents in this convention adopied ' the policy — of completing the ticket alveady ally ded by the democt ths Jabor unions of the city. The ticket, therefore, that con- Ifnmh the republican nominces is as fol- 0ws: Dempecratic Nompees—Witliam Me- Langhlin, for tho senate; John H. Ames, Jonn r, for the house. JLabor Union Nominees--Joseph Burns, Henry Schaal, both for the house. Independent Nominees—O. Hull, for the senate; 1. N. Leonard, John Rietfers, for the house. "These nominces combined make a eom- plete ticket to which the county is en- titled, to-wit: Two state senators and six Tepresentatives, TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION promises to be coun- ty politics the coming election of no minor importance, and a good many believe that it will ‘carry. There is a strong be- existing among the farmers of Lan- aster that under the present commis- sioner system & ring of no mean proportions has been perpetuated upon the publie, largely run by a few schemers in Lincoln, and that the only way a fair and full knowledge of county work and county expvendi- tures that would be equal to all, can be procured is through the adoption of township organization. Two years ago the proposition came near carrying, and the sentiment in favor of its adoption, 1t is believed, has waxed stronger since that time so that in the present election it will boecome an assured fact, That there will “be a strong fight made for it both in the opposition ticket and from the supporters of the republican ticket 1tself, is a fact that is becoming well known to all who will observe tho- signs of the times in local polities. Said one of th 1o the Saturday convention ve 1 our scction of the county that there are some questions to consider for our- selves outside of the wishes of the old regime in the city of Lincoln, and town- ship organization 1s one of them."
