The Tribune admits that there is evidence of some careless ness on the part of past non-partt- j san mayors and councilmen, but the people of North Platte are not repudiators and no one will at tempt the repudiation of any city debt on the strength of official carelessness that has not resulted in injury to any one. The Era may suggest or even urge repudia tion, but it will fall on deaf ears, and holders of city warrants or those who have claims against the city need not worry over the sen sational articles published by that paper. Under the guise of "re form" the oversight of the councils of past years has been taken up by the Era gang- solely for politi cal purposes; of this there - is no questiou, no doubt. E. B.
