People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 33, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 February 1895 — "PLAIN AND SIMPLE.” [ARTICLE]

"PLAIN AND SIMPLE.”

Compare this witli the Ostentation of Old Party Inaugurations. Tire inauguration of Judge Holcomb as governor of Nebraska on Jan. 3 was of a character becoming a Populist and a representative of the plain people. “Very simple and without display were the ceremonies,” said the press dispatch. In his inaugural address the new executive urges at the outset the necessity for changes in the Australian ballot law, making its provisions more clear, favors an appropriation by the state for the relief of the destitute in the western counties and insists <ll economy ip the administration of state affairs. All these recommendations. like the inauguration exercises, are quite ia keeping with good taste and People party principles. Gov. Holcomb, who is personally a man of good abilities, sound sense and clean character, enjoys the distinction of being the only Populist governor in the yea; preceding the Presidential nominations, and not only his party but nis country may.yet call him to go higher. —lowa Tribune. .
