It didn’t take long for the news of Judge Crounse’s nomination to secure general cir- eulation in Omaha, T Per gives here- ‘with a few of the expressions of the business men and citizeus, referring to the result: John 7. Clarke—I am certain thatthe iom- ination of Judge Crounse was tho very best that could have been wade. 1 have thought for several mouths past that be was strongor by from 10,000 to 20,000 votes than any other republican’ whose name bus been mentioned for governor, Judge Crounse's past record will euable the republican press of the state 10 make such & campaign for the ro- publicau party as will certainly keep No- Dbraska in the republican rauks this year. I look to see business wen aud others hay- foi tinancial interests in the state, including the farmers, to array themselves for Crounse 88 pgunst Van Wyck aud the radical views of the independent party. There is another mportant thing 10 bo conswered, Tho womination of Judge Crounse means that the repuvlican party will present a united front in this campaign, as nis nomination was sought by all parties who hayo heretofore been separated -by factional differences, [ beligyo thay the Ml'ouf, clear ticket headed by Judge Crouuse wiil appeal effectively to the judgment of the poople and will be tri- uwmphantly elected in Novembor, Judge W. 5. Strawn—I think he is the strougest man we could have nominated. He is singularly free from our corporate inflq- ences nud is 4 man who cannot be iutluenced by cliques. He will rua well, L B, Mapes—1 am well satisfied with the nomimnation of Judge Crounse, aud so 1s everyone vise, as far us 1 can loarn, Williaw Cobura—1'he uomination of Judgo Crounse just suits me, Lir. Goorge L. Miller—It is a strong nom- Ination, A. P. Hopkins—Crounso is s good, clean man, Judgo Gustaye Anderson—We have mado the strougest nomination that could have been made. Wo can elect Crounse easior than uny body else T know. Captain J. N, Phillips—Crounse sults me ®ll right, Joseph Barker—I think Judge Crounse is a vory good man. He will command the sup- - ‘:nrl of businoss mon and the rospect of all, My personal cholce leaned toward Dr. Mer- cer, but 1 oan be very well satistied with Judge Crounse, 1. K. Sudborough—He is just the man we want. He s & good, olean, oonservative candidate, and he will certainly be ejected. M. O, Maul—Ho is & suro winnor, C. F. Chaffee— m perfectly satisfied with the uckot, W. I, Gurloy—I like Judge Crounse well euouph, although Iam not very well ac- u"nlznm with bim. He will be a strong can- \dute. Jobu Drexol—Crounse 1s a good man and Would make an exvellent governor, Chris Hurtman—Judge Crounse will mako B strong candi llluln & wost excellent gentiomun and has filled pubile oMoo with oredit and avility. 1 havo 'knows him por: sonully for more than irty years, but not- withsianding his bigh standiig and chorac- ter, &s & democrat I want 1o say tbhat we will nominate a candidato who will down the Judeo &t the eleotion 1o be heid next No- Yewbor, A Q. Edwards—Judgo Crouuso is the strongest mau in the statu. The conveution made & wise selection and now there can bo B0 doabi about she clection. Judge Crounse bas an anti-monopoly record that is without blot ot biemish, W. J. Connell—Tt is a most excellont nomi- nation, and will result in putting the Douglas county republicans back into line, Judge Crounse is a good man, U. B. Balcombe—Judge Crounse 18 the strongest man_the convention could have ' nominated. He has a reputation that is un- | tarnished, and is a standard bearer around whom all’ republicans can gatber. Heisa man who is in touch wjth the peopie, 1 Theodore Olsen—It Ya a great nomination. The facts aro that Judge Crounse is the only republican who can boat Van Wyok and now that ho is nominated you will see Nebraska drop back into the republican ranks with its old-time majovity. John Grant—Judge Crounse has always been my choice. The people of Nebraska have tried him bofore and as they have found him true to their interests thoy are willing to try him again, Cbarles Beindorfl—I've talked Crounso for nine months and of course I'm glad that he's nominated. Ho will poll more votes than any other republican in tho state. While be is the choico of Douglas county, his opponents cannot say that he 1s Douglas county man, R. W. Richardson--Judge Crounse is a most excellent man, I knew him as a su- preme judge and his decisions do him rreat credit. * 1 have no doubt but that in the ox- ecutivo ofice he will ropresent this great Stato in a most creditable manner, John Dale—It was o master stroke upon the part of the ropublican party when its convention nominated Judge Crounse. Ho is un old rosident, an honest, brainy, true and tried man, and being n strong anti- monopolist I think he is well fitted for the offlca of governor. £, R. Duffte—I think it was the best nom- ination thut vould have been made by tho re- publicans. As faras I have boen ablo to loarn Judgo Crounse has always been a man who has stood up for the people. J. C. Wharton—Judge Crounse is the strongest man in the state. We aro sure of winning this fall, ana with such a candidate for the head of tho atato ticket we will sweep the stato tms fall, Why, right now thoro aro thousands of democrats and inde- pendents who are ready to jump iuto the bund wagon and go for Crounse, J. G. Tipton— Krom what I know of Judge Crouuse's record he is the stroncest wnan who could have beon nominated. His stand- ing is good 1n every community where ho is kuovrn and thero is no reason why ho should not carry the state, South Omaha Satisfied. Judge Crounso’s friends in South Omaha aro numbered by the believers in republican brinciples, and there aro several hundred of them in tho city. The nomination of the Sage of Calhoun was enthusiastically re- ceived, and every time republicans met a hearty handshaking was indulged in, and 1t was surprising at the number of ropublicans there wero in the city vosterday. Mayor Miller. a friend for many years of Judga Crounse—No other course was loft open for the republicans, and his nomination shows thut he was the most available man, His election Is an assured fact and he will dofont Van Wyck by a handsomo majority. Judgo Crounse is especially well fittod for the governorsliip, is strong with the peoplo and {s free from any of the potty and fac- tional fights within the party. His nomina- tion suits me completely. Oty Attorney Van Duseh—The South Omaha dolegates to the state couvention stood lovally by Judge Urounse and sup- ported his candidacy as euthusiastically as did the delegation in" the county convention. His nomination means success and the ropublicans will bo enabied to push an ag- gressive campaign and not a defensive one. A. L. Sutton-The nomiuation of Judge Crouuse means the loss of thousands of votos to the alliance. ‘Theentlre state ticket is a strong one. and success to the republioans 1o Nebraska is assured. Justico of the Peacs Hedges—Judge “rounsofs tho strongest, man the republicans gould have named, but I think we will pull Van Wyck through and defeat him. CROUN!

C., Aug. 5.—[Speclal Tel- ogram to Tue Ber.]—The nows of Judgo Crounse’s nomination was carried to the treasury departmont by Tue Bee shortly after noon today. Judge Crounse had heard nothing from tne convention at that time. After reading the telogzram telling of the convention’s action, Judge Crounse said that he felv highly honorod, not only by the nomination, but by the handsome man- ner in which it came to him. Of this re- peated mark of confidence in him by the ra- publicans of his state, he said he felt ox- tremely proud and should bo ever grateful. Asked as to his opinion of the political outcome in Nebraska this fall, he said Le was confident of republican succsss, “‘Nebraska,”” he said, ‘‘ougnt to be and vormally is & republican state, The condi- tions of two years ago are not those ~of today. Good crops and the failure of the present house of representatives bad robbed the campaizn liar of his stock in trade. ~ Sume of our ro publicans were deceived once, but ihere are very fow that can be fooled the second time. The administration of President Harrison speaks for itsell, and it speaks so well that there is no reason for a change,” Some time after tho uew:s of his nomina- tion was brought to him by Tug Bek corre spondent yudee Crounse received a messag- from Chairman Cudy teling him of his nom- hullmn. He immediately sent the following reply: *'Pleaso express to the convention my full appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the high honor conferred upon me, and this re- newed expression of confidenco. Be assured I sball do all in my power for the success of the party, of which I have no doubt.” Judge Crounse cannot make definite plans he immediate future, His oftice is very busy just now. But assoon s ho can bt his businoss in condition he expects to resign the position of assistant sooretary of the treasury, that e may takean aciive part in the campargn, SECRETARY TER PLEASED, uloglzes Judge Crounso as & Man and Ofciat, WasmiNatoN, D.

He came into this oftice s Assistant secretary of tho treasury about one year ago, soon after I be- camo secretary. I have been closely and in- tmately associatod with him during that time. I bhaye never met a man of more personal integrity or better judgment than Mr, Crounse. His judgmunt secms to be 1 regard him us ono of the ablest rs ot the department, and shall regrot oxceedingly that for any cause he shall sever his conneotion with it, I congratulate tho republicans of Nebraska on their very fortunate selection of a candidate for gov- ernor. I can assure thom in advance that if heis eleeted, of which I have no doubt, ho will prove to be one of the best, if not'the best, executive oficer the state ever had." OUT IN THE STATE, Republicans Well Plensed with the Ticket as Numed, Surrox, Nev., Aug, b.—[Speclal Telegram to Tuk Bre]—Tho Sutton Advertiser con- grotulutes the republicans of Nebraska on THE OMAHA the nomination of Judge Crounse. His mans admiring frionds in Clay connty aro won fully well pleased sud go into the campaie with redoubied entbusinsm because of thy cortainty of eleoting him. His nomination at_the present crivical period in Nebraska politics was liko that of Lincoln in 1861— providential. BraTick, Neb., Aug. 5.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bree.|—The nomination of Hon. Lorenzo Crounse is very generally approved by republicans throughout this region. LORENZO CROUNSE, Sketch of the Oareor of the Candidate for Governor. Lorenzo Crounse was born January 27, 1834, in Schoharie connty, New York. One of his great grandfathers had come to this country from Wittenberg, famous in the history of the world since tho time of Luther. Young Crounse wont through that early training from whioh so wany great Americans have graduated—a common school education followed by several years of work as the head of a country school. Mr. Crounse begun his career as a toacher at the age of 17, und continued in that occupation for throe successive wiuters, during which period ho saved sufficiont means to give him two summer terms at Charlottoville sem- inary, New York. He then read law at Fort Plain in the same state, and was admitted to practic in the , year 1856, Hero he set up s ofice and entored upon the field of law. Four years later, ho was married to Miss Mary K. Griftiths, like hun, & native of New York stato. A Brilliant War Record. At tho outbreak of the revellion, Mr. Crounse" enlisted at his country’s call. He roised the company known as Battery K, First regiment Now York light actillery, and was at onco chosen as its captain. - In'tno summer of 1362 he was severely wounded at { Beverly Ford, on the Rappahannock river, ana was compellod on this account to resign and return to his home in Septomber follow- ing, Ho resumed the practice of his profession, continuing in Fort Plain until 1864, when ho romoved to Nebrasks, and settled at Rulo, Richardson county. He was elected, in the fall of 1865, to represent that county'in the torritorial lepislature. In this session, the last that was to act under the territorial re- gime, he served on the judiciary committee, as, also, upon the special committee ap- pointed to araft the first constitution for the proposed state of Nebraska, He took a promni- nent part both in draftinz that document and in advocating its adoption by the people. Graced the Supreme Benoh: ‘With the adoption of the constitution of 1866, Mr. Crounse was elected at the age of 32 as ono of the throo justices of the first su- preme court of the new state. He was asso- ciated on the hench with the late Oliver . Mason a8 chief justice, and George B. Lako associate justioe, and was assigned the Thira judicial distriot comprising all the state north of the Platte excopt Douglus and Sarvy counties. In the deliverations of the court, ho at once took u most active part, partici- Ppiting particularly fu those cases domanding un exposition of the provision of the new constitution. His share in defining and ap- plying that document to tho various intricate problems that arose was one of no little im- portance and was marked throughout by a profound study of the underlying principles of democratic government. The opinion in the reported in the series of Nebraska ro- ports was written by Judge Crounso and dealt with the intricacies of the law of landlord and tenant. In the case of the P eo- ple vs McCallum, the judgment of tha court rondered by Judge Crounse interproted the clause tu the constitution restricting any bil from having more than one subject, which shall bo clearly expressed in the title, as not intended to £reveut the legislature from solecting its o¥n title aithough the one selected might not bo tho most suitable and comprehensive. This tiberal reading of the clause was necessary to the validity of vari- ous acts that had boen passed. Another oppottunity was given for inter- preting the new constitution in the famous caso of Brittle vs the People. The point at 18sue turned on the_guestion whether under the constitution of Nebraska a colored man had a right tosit on & jury. The question was decided in the affirmative, and gave Judro Crounse an opportunity to review at length the history of the ‘‘funda- mental coadition” which congress had at- i lached to the enabling act, namely, tho clause striking out the restriction of the suftrage to white citizens only. In an able wrgument Lhe opinion of the court, Chief Jus- tfce Mason disseating, suported ' the power of congress to proscribe conditions upon which the admission of a state into the union is to be effected, The result reached by Judge Crounse is in conformity with vari- ous later decisions of the United States su- preme court and has been quoted approvingly in seyeral text-books by writers of authority. A Just and Fearless Jadge, Again in the case of Hallenbeck vs. Hahn, acase arising 1n Douglas county from the re. fusal of a property owner to pay & tax purt of which was intonded to go as a bonus to a ralway company, occasion was given to elucldate the artioles on finance in tho or- ganic law. He held that the limitation on the amount of money which the state might borrow, rested unon loans for Atate purposes only and not upon boad issues of coauties and other public ocorporations; that aiding & railroad, constituted & public purpose and that in authorizing such aid, the legisiature did not transcend ‘its lexaily granted powers. The railway is a public highway constructed unaer the right of eminent domain, ‘“How is it, then,” asks Judge Crounse, ‘“that wo regard a railway as public till wo huve in- vaded the most sacred rights of the private citizen by wresting his land from him, wili- ing or unwilling, and immediately become blind to its public character when we under- take 0 use the taxing power, which has no limit under the constitution” The bonds in question wero in the bands of innocent, bonafide holders and their integrity must be upheld without taint of repudiation. In ar- riving at this conclusion Judge Crounse drew distinctiy the dividing line between the fields of legislative and of judicial action, “Unless tho constitution is violated in somo of its parts, the plain offico of this court is to declare tho act constitutional. With any qupstion as to the wisdom of the law or the policy of its enactment, we, in comtaon with all citizens of the state, may have our opision, bui we have no right to avail ourselves of our position to give effect to such oninion unless it accords with principleand authority. The province of the sgurt has 190 frequently aud too unmistak- ably been declared to be misunderstood or disregardad.’” A Proud Career in Congress. Judge Crounse did not stand for re-election at the expiration of his term, but continued his connecticu with the bench for the next two years in the capacity of supreme court reporter. The only reason for retiring from tne suprome court was that ke had already in 1872 been nominated for cougress over John Taffe, then member of the house, and Silas A, Strickiand, and had been elected by & rousing majorit He served not only through the Forty-third congress, but was also selected to the Forty-fourth congress, In the former he was assigned & vlace upon the committee on territories—at that time a com- mittee of consideravie importance by reason of the vast domain sull excluded from state wovernment. During his second term he was an influential member of the com- mittee on public lands, All through his congressional career Judge Crounse was ever active in furthering the Intorests of his constituents and the welfare of the nation. His first speech was in favor of the repeal of the salsry-grab met which had been pussed by the previous congress, aud bo Joined his vote with those that struck iv from the statute book, He protested against auy reduction of the army which would make it inadequate to the protection very first case Highest of all in Leavening Power.~Latest U.

He put forth his utmost ondeavor to get an enactment by congress compelling the Union Pacific to prorate with the south branch of tho B. & M. In the corse of his remarks upon the bill, be denouticed the monopoly of the Union Pacific as ong of the grossest kind, *“Ihe exparience of the peoplo of Nevraska," said he, “is not an eficouraging one. The Unlou Pacific company tias even undertaken to run the politics of the:state, At our last convention, the unseomly spectacle was pro- sented of Jay Gould and Siduoy Dillon boing at Omaha in communication with the super- intendent of the road, at the convention, the wires communicating between them. I re- peat, I am not in the interest of nor speclally hostile to any of these roads and the attempt of the gentleman (Mr. ¥rye) to put me in that attitude is in keeping with the rest of his efforts on behalf of the company he is defending. All I ask is what is right and what is due to the poeple, no matter which road it benefits or prejudices.” Tho influence of the corporations at Wash- ington, however, was too strong, and the samo fate overtook his bill to reduce the charges of the Union Pacillc for hauling freight across the bridge at Omaha from $10 to 85 per car which passed the house but was pigeonholed in the senate, In the contest attending the counting of the electoral vote of 1876, Judge Crounse record- ed his vote along with all his leading repub- lican colleaguos Iy opposition to_ the bill pro- viaing for the eldotoral commission. Falthful to Mis Trusts, In 1870 bie declined to be a candidate for a third term to congross, his friends urging him to enter the race for tho United Statos sonnte. Threo voars later he was given, without solicitation on his part, the office of collector of internal revenue for Nobraska, a position which ho retained for four years, ro- tiring with a certificate of the comimissioner that his offico held rank among the best con- ducted in the service. Judgo Crounse retired to his farm at Fort Calboun in 1883 and, as Lo thought, from public life. He gavo his attention to the raising of fine stook and fruits and continued to take, as he had always taken, n warm in- terest in tho state and various county fairs in which he was at times an cxhibitor and oficor. In tho spring of 1591 ho was, at tho urgent olioitation of Senators Manderson and Pad- ock and other frionds, induced to accept the position offored him by President Harrison assistant seorotary of tho troasury.
