"Nit. " ' In Buffalo oo'inty , Pawnee county , and in fact in half the conn , ties in the stale , the popn and democrats are making a fair di * vision of the oilioc's We presume the populist candidates , in the re inotn contingency of their election , have promised one or two minor depnlyships to the democrats , not considering them capable of filling the responsible potmions as prin cipal.

Cuinmings promiged thu conven- lion that if elected , ho would -'first serve the populist parly , and it ho had any time left , ho would devote it to the people. " Ho also said to the convention that ho thanked tlio friends who had voted for him for stajing by him , mid to his enemies , ho had no apologies to make , and eared nothing for them. Wo opine those tame "eneniies" will care nothing for him. Ye gods , what smart A look y judiuhl timber ! The delegates to the several pen conventions are , as every one know8 ] instructed to work and vote against and riloua'o to private life , nSl pub no servants and laadicUtes who use free passes. Now , boys , uro you hone t , do you moan this , are iho dolegntos of Custer county to the pop hiato convention going to put Mr. Llolcomb on the carpet , and propound to him the s.iino questions required to bo propounoed to the aspirants to otlioo * of much less im portance , before casting its vote for him ? If not , why ? Or is this one of the reforms paiaded by the pops , resulting only in A faruo and a de lusion ? Now boys , you have a chance to show your hand. Devon von dare do iv ? Wo say no. Hon. E. M. Webb was a delogito to the pop county convention. His friends ( and they are legion ) re member that he was turned aown at the expiration of his first term of office , because he came home from Lincoln once or twice on a pasn during 'he ' HCHHion of the log slatnro of which ho was a member , to visit bin wife who was at thu point ol death.

Theodore C. Search , the prt-Hident of the Na tional AHsooiatio n of Manufacturing and a member of thu John 1 > . btotion Company , of IMiiladelphin , tlio well known hat manufacturing concern , said recently to an inter viewing reporter that business prospeols were never brighter than they arc now. "Last yenr , " Mr. Seiiroh a Ided , "was the moct sue- oessfnl one in tno history of the IIOIIHO , but this year gives even urealor promitun , as orders arolitor- nlly pouring in from ovcry part of the country. " This in the mno ntory which inaiui- taettin'H and buKinecs men of evtiy claHH all over the country are tolling. The ninotconlh century is going out in a blaze ol glory , and the year 1801) ) will bo an eminently lilting ending to the century which has marked the growth oi the United Statoe froiim a weak nation struggling for bare existence and dependent on other oonnttioB for all ol its manufactured products , to ono of thu groit powers , and which has brought to it the indiH * trial supremacy of the world. At the pop county con volition , a year ago , stringent resolutions , con demning the life of railroad passes , and ei'pt oially by public servants , oandidaics before l.liai convention were called upon to answer the question whether or not they rode on passes , and because K. M. Webb had made a couple of tripn homo from Lincoln on a free pass , to see his sick wife , he was turned down , und lolegJUod to the roar ranitH. Poor Lester Kirkpalriok was then called lor , who OMmo trembling to his font , tubbing his hands and looking Hk ) ward , and in answer to the question ol parses , admitled that he was the possessor of ono of those round uornored cards called in annual , hut had procured it by virtue of being an employe of the B. it M. , but if nominated , ho would cast it from his bosom. Les ter pulled through by a light squeeze. Al the late pop conven tion , equally if not more stringent rusolnlions roKiling to patten were adopted , find several of the would bo candidates wore asked the same question regarding passes an befoie , and why , in the face of these resolu tionu , and before recommending the nomination of Silas A. Holcomb , who was present , for judge of the supreme court , and commending Ins action while governor , was ho not asked to stale to the convention as to whether or nol ho was a user of free parses , or was the conven tion satisfied thai he , like his brother n.-l\\v , was an employe of the H. & M. ? THO Hundred anil Tnonlj In One Coinentlou The inoont islunuy of resolutions adopted by the populist convention as a party platform , can bo taken seritusly , or as a hugo joke , as the individt al members of the party may doom suitable. To the ones who sincerely ln-lievo in the princi ples laid down in the Omaha plat form , the resolution will read like viivine truth ; but to thu ones who havu riddou on trains along withGov. Holcomb and Judge Sullivan and have seen these worthy otticals hand up their parses when the conductor called for tickets , the joke of the resolutions must bo apparent. Why a set of men in convention shoul i declare their intention to relegate to \ rivato lifo public servants who ride on passes , and in the same sot of resolutions recommend for re- nomination iwo men who are known to b paHH grabbers and pans usorh of the worst type ia a mystery that the avorairo republican cannot ] corn- prt-hcnd. They aio not milHoiently educated in the ideas of reform to grasp the "great principle" sot out , in the pop platform , for to the re publican voter it looks very much like the devil reproving sin. To the delegates therefore \\lio con stituted the convention tholticrum.i- dedecates llio following verses : "SV nro opposed to thu | "Wo heartily commoinl use of piu"tc8 liy our I thu notion of our lion- public ) crrvAiil' , und recoiecl | fellow citizen.
