Omaha, NvK. Dim*. 13,—Governor
Piynter tuns ex-Senator Alton
to till tho Senatorial vacaoey oattsni
by tho death of Hayward. Senator Allen
will ptiW’ced at once to Washington.
It is announced that the appointment

pointment. .
A WISH APPOINTMENT.
Austin, ex.. l>ec. 13.—When asked to
day hy an Associated Press oorreispend
ent as to what lie thought of Mr. Allen s
appointment ns Senator from Nebraska.
Air. Bryan replied:
“I think the npirointment of Mr. Allen
ought to give universal satisfaction. He
made a pood record in the Senate ami
last, year had the unanimous support of
the Fusion members, of the Legislature.
I think that in making this appointment
the Governor acted wisely. There are
several Democrats in> the State "who
would have tilled the office acceptably,
but the fact that Allen was last year the
choice of all three parties makes him the
logical man for the place. I have no
doubt that a Democrat will toe chosen
next year to succeed Senator Thurston
and that, will give our State a Populist
•and a Democrat in the Senate.
