Show I 4. I POLITICAL. A Joke. Acting govenor Ntbeker'i joke died out very quickly from the fact Judge Powera and Mr. Nebeker saw they had gone just n llttlo too far In using the great seal of tho state. At first they thought tbey would have a llttlo fun at the expense of tho govenora ignorance regarding tho matter, but the funney part of it was that tho Jokers showed Just a llttlo bit of igiiQtanco in regard to using the seal of the state, and Judge Powers soon saw the blander he and N'obcker had made, and was quick to get the following in print, "By reaton of circumstances which have arisen I shall not incept the nomination nomi-nation of United Elates lenttorso kindly kind-ly and graciously tondered me by Gor. ernor Nebtkor. That leaves the whole case just as though no appointment bad been made. Nevertheless, I am no1 ungrateful to tho Governor for his re-memberanre re-memberanre of me. The honor bo did me is ono that I fully appreciate, and will long recall with pleasant recollicr tions of his confidence and good intentions." |
