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.
