INDEPENDENT People's conven
tion at Indianola , Tuesday morn
ing next , August llthat 10 o'clock.
" "WHERE does Judge Cochran
stand , " tearfully inquires the Lin
coln Journal. Bless your corpor
ate soul , on two as honest and
manly feet as tread the virgin soil
of the 14th district.
THE Judicial Central Committee
at their meeting in Indianola , on
"Wednesday , decided to call the
Republican convention for the 14th
judicial district at Indianola on
Thursday , October 1st. The Sec
retary informs us that the call will
be made in time for publication in
the-press of the district next week.
THAT state relief statement for
April with a balance on hand
May 1 , of § 58,629 has a deliber
ate air about it which excites cur
iosity. Probably some expert ac
countant is engaged on the books
and that is why the relies commis
sion is four months behind the
calendar procession. Bee.
JOHN PALMER the new com-
mauder-in-cliief of the Grand
Army of the Kepublic , was a cap
tain in the army. It is to be hoped -
od he will emulate Corporal Tan
ner and refuse to be promoted to
' 'general. " Corporals and captains
are so scarce in these latter days
that we are all hopeful their ranks
may not be further reduced by
brevet promotions.
SUICIDES are too frequent now ,
yet Prof. Felix Adler'sugges
that a commission be designate
by each state , consisting of three
judges of the supreme court and
three eminent physicians , for the
express purpose of authorizing sui
cides in cases of chronic invalids
who have no reasonable hope of
recovery. He would have the at
tending physician end the misery
of such existence. As a theory in
the professor's school of ethics
this will not probably make much
headway , but it is novel enough
and he is eminent enough , to bring
on 110 end of discussion. Bee.
CONCERNING A SCHEME.
BKOTHEUS : I understand there
is a scheme on foot to secure a
railroad attorney for district judge
of the 14th judicial district , in
this wise , to-wit : By getting a
delegation from Eed Willow coun
ty for S. JR. Smith , an attorney
from Indianola , who has but small
reputation as an attorney , but
claims to be an Independent ; but
the fact that he canvassed the
county last fall in the interest of
the Republican party , and the de
sire of the east end republicans to
beat Jennings was all that kept
him from securing the nomination
of the east end republican ticket
as countj'- ' attorney last fall. And
that he held the important office
of republican committeman until
the 19th day of June , 1891 , only
about thirty days ago , as the fol
lowing copy of his resignation will
show :
"INDIANOLA , Neb. , June 19 , 1891.
To the Chairman and Secretary
Republican Judicial Commit
tee llth Judicial District of
Nebraska :
Gentlemen : I hereby tender
my resignation as committeman for
Red Willow county , this resigna
tion to take effect immediately.
Trusting to the kindness and
courtesy of Mr. J. J. Lamborn to
present this resignation and thank
ing you for past favors I am ,
Yours very truly ,
S. R. SMITH. "
And the further fact that he re
signed the office of republican cen
tral committeman about the last of
April shows conclusively that there
is a scheme somewhere ; and with
such a record it would be impos
sible for Mr. Smith to go into a
convention where are eight coun
ties represented by members of the
Farmers' Alliance and get the
nomination. Now the scheme is
when it is apparent that S. R.
Smith cannot get the nomination
( which certainly would be the
case ) then Mr. Smith is to throw
his delegation to one J. T. McClure -
Clure , a B. & M. attorney of Beav
er City , who has a political record
as follows :
He came to Furnas county in
the fall of 1885 , and has been a
candidate for office as follows :
1886 COUNTY ATTORNEY.
John T. McClure , dem. , 582
Frank B. Taylor , rep. , 787
Taylor's majority , 205
1887 COUNTY JUDGE.
John T. McClure , dem. , 665
E. W. Lewis , rep. , 1,048
Lewis' majority , 383
1888 REPRESENTATIVE.
John T. McClure , dem 721
J. M. Lee , rep. , 1,249
Lee's majority , 528
1890 COUNTY ATTORNEY.
John T.McClure , dem. &iud. , 1,110
G. W. Norris , rep.5 719
McClure's majority , . . 291
This majority being 200 less
than the majority on the Indepen
dent ticket.
He is under the employ of the
B. & M. R. R. Co. as their attor
ney , has foreclosed more mortga
ges in Furnas count } ' in the last
year than any other attorney in it
and has been a most persistent of
fice seeker.
What would we gain by select
ing a railroad attorney , an em
ployee of mortgage loan companies ,
and a bank attorney ? Is it likely
that his education and sympathies
are such that he would be with us ?
Would not his old associates have
great influence upon him. If this
is the best we can do , why do any
thing ? Are there not those whose
associates , and whose acts and daily
walks show that they are in sym
pathy with us ? Is it policy for
us to select one outside of our par
ty to an office of such power and
influence , when if we had one with
iis he might help us materially in
our cause.

THE SHIPE ESCAPED.
Earl Paul , a member of a Cowlcs
pleasure party , now languishes in the
Arlington House with his right arm badly
mangled. It appears that Paul is a
member of a party of eight men who
recently left Cowles overland for Den
ver on a hunting-pleasure trip. They
reached here last Saturday evening.
Sunday morning Paul attempted to pull
his shot gun out of the wagon , muzzle
first , and the trigger catching on some
object , the load of shot intended for an
innocent snipe was deposited in Paul's
right arm , which was terribly lacerated
and mangled , insomuch that the proba
bilities are that the injured member will
never again perform much service for
him though the doctor espects to be
able to save the arm. All of the party
but one friend of the injured man have
started back to Cowles. The young
man's father , who was prostrated by the
news of his son's accident , is expected
here soon.
