GOVERNOR CODY.

Col. Wm. F. Cody, known throughout
the whole civilized world as "Buffalo
Bill," has been the recipient of more
merited honors than usually falls to the
lot of man in any station in life or in
any calling. And in every instance the
honors have sought the man and not
the man the honors. He is now not
only requested but importuned to allow
his name to come before the people of
Nebraska as candidate for Governor of
the commonwealth of the state which
has been the scene of many of his exploits
and whose people bear witness to
his many triumphs. A nomination in
the state of Nebraska means an election
for Col. Cody, for he is popular, not
with his party alone, but with the people
regardless of party lines and party
prejudices. He is a character that has
been tried in the fire of many hard
years' service of the people, and not
found wanting in any particular.

Col. Cody was born in Scott county,
Iowa; and went with his parents to
Kansas, engaging in the various pursuits
of a frontiersman from his earliest
childhood. Being successively a herder,
wagon-master, pony express rider,
trapper, scout, and finally chief of
scouts for the United States army. The
greatest Indian fighter of our times;
the Indian's friend in peace and most
implacable foe in war; he has the confidence
and respect of the red as well as the
white man. His knowledge of the
needs of the people of his state is probably
as complete as can be developed in
one man, and of his integrity and worth
there can be no question. He has been
through every Indian campaign for
forty years and now holds a commission
as brigadier general on the staff of the
governor of Nebraska.

All success and honor to the future
Gov. Cody; there is nothing given him
but what is his due.

Col. Cody is one of the largest tax
players in Nebraska, owning as he does,
some 4,000 acres of land, and has done
more to advertise the state than any
other man in it, and his "Wild West"
in Chicago being attended by thousands,
and the crowned heads of
Europe, entitle him to be esteemed
more than any other man in the state
of Nebraska.
