Judge Fiotd's Trick, Judge Field is popular among all travel- fug men vogardiess of voliey and is receiving now tho onthusiastic support of republicans in our fraternity, and especially so for his manly and dignificd course in this campaign in that he has never had the gall to go whispering it around into the ears of every oue that he carries tho traveliug man's vote in his vest pocket. ~Allen 1ield has boen a Nebraskan since his boyhood, twenty-nine years, and we one and all aro proud of what ‘o is and what hehas achieved as a citizer, s a public official and as one of the businoss pushers and builders of Lincoln.

The issuos betwoen the republicans aud populisis bave been so sharply delined that the great struggle will e botiveen these two partios, leaving the domoeerats to trail in the rear. Tuk Bru's canvass shows that Lorenzo Crounse will poll betweon ~§3.000 aud 85,000 votes, while General Van wyck's total il bo between 70,000 and )00, o Sterling Morton will receive between 45,000 and 50,000 votes and C, E.

The change i e relative strengch of the parties this year is easily accounted for.

Cundia Who Will Lead, his yoar the situation wiil bo partially re- esed, Tk Bri's canvass shows that Van Wyck will rece.ve very nearly the same vo! as polled by Powers, but Van Wyck's strength comes from a different source than did that of the first populist gubernatorial candidate. Powers' strength lay nlmost en~ tirely i the country districts and ho drew uittle support from the cities. Van Wyek has lost strenzth in the country, but he ~bas gained enough from the orkingmen of the cities to offset the falling uway of the farmers. While Powers only polled 1,173 votes i Omaha and Douglas county, Van Wyck will show a strength of #bout 5,000 votes. Morton's vote in this eity will show more tuau a correspouding falling off. Nearly all the other candidates on the state tickets will run even with the gubernatorial nowinecs.
