CANDIDATE BROWN'S declination it
pretty warm rending. Next column.
THERE is not a flaw on the Republicar
state ticket and Republicans past anc
present should rally to its support will
earnestness and enthusiasm. Remeui
her , M. B. Reese is a lawyer , and not i
politician. The supreme bench need ;
lawyers and not politicians. It need :
Reese. Vote for him.
THE TRIBUNE makes bold to clam
for Jud e Norris that he has made th (
best judge who has ever sat upon tlu
bench of the Fourteenth district. Anc
this fact should , and THE TRIBUNE has
many reasons good and sufficient to be
lieve that it will , insure his reelecttor
on the 6th day of November.
THE strength and increasing popular
ity of O.L.Thompson is as much a source
of consternation and amazement to oui
friends the enemy as it is a matter ol
satisfaction and pleasure to his manj
friends. There is small room for ques
tion that he will be the next treasurer ol
Red Willow county. There are sonu
enthusiastic fellows offering odds , al
ready.
WE quite agree with the ludianola
Reporter in the following article respect
ing Judge Norris : "The renomination ol
Judge Norris was the proper thing to do ,
Judge Norris is just such a man as the
people of the Fourteenth judicial district
want for judge. His record upon the
bench has been such as to merit the ap
proval of all fair-minded men regardless
of party. "
AMONG best selections made by the
late Republican county convention was
the nomination of Foster G. Stilgebouer
of Daubury. Thorouhly equipped in
every respect , energetic , young and cap
able , we take pleasure and pride in rec
ommending him to the voters of the
county for their favorable consideration ,
and for their votes in November. He is
in every respect worthy and capable.
Vote for him.
W. B. MILLER , the Fusion candidate
for judge of the Fourteenth district has
formally vacated his position on the
ticket , giving as his reasons illness.
This action conies to the Fusion camp
like a stroke of lightning out of a clear
sky , and the central committee of the
combined Populist and Democratic com
mittees will meet in this city , this after
noon , to attempt to patch up the hole
made by Miller's "flunk" by selecting
another candidate to lead the forlorn
hope.
THAT pair of white wings Colonel
Comfort made for Ike Sheridan , last
week , will do little toward making Ike
county judge. White wings are good ,
but they don't become Ike. Judge
Bishop has performed the duties of that
important trust most carefully and satis
factorily and the people of Red Willow
county will not trade horses in the mid
dle of the stream. Not this year. A
vote for Bishop means the helping along
of a good thing , a thoroughly capable
and honest man.
"IT was uot an accident , " wisely states
the Comfort , "that secured young King-
horn's nomination. " Correct again ,
colonel. It was no accident ; it was the
cool determination of an earnest , inde
pendent lot of delegates in convention
assembled. It will be no accident that
secures j'oung Kinghorn , as the colonel
is pleased to call a young man who was
man enough to fight gallantly with the
Fighting First Nebraskans , the election
as sheriff of this county. It will be tbe
cool determinate action of the voters of
this county. No deals , no trades , no
sell-outs ; just goo'd straight Republican
votes and others.
THE Comfort wants to know whether
or uot , "Fred Kinghorn is the person
the people of Red Willow county want
for sheriff ? " We violate no confidence
in stating that they do , and the votes in
November will corroborate this confi
dence. Then the colonel wants to know ,
"How he secured the nomination ? "
That's "dead easy. " colonel : A majority
of the delegates in the late Republican
county convention simply wanted to
nominate him , and did so without his
even asking for it. They thought he
was the man to win the race , and he will.
( This is also no violation of confidence. )
It will take more "deals" than have so
far been successfully made to defeat
Fred Kinghorn for sheriff of Red Willow
county. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
OUR amiable contemporary , the lu-
dianola Reporter , seeks the defeat of the
Republican county ticket by making
vague charges of bossism , machine poli
tics , tyranny , despotism , and other non
sensical folderol. But tbe hard , cold
facts of tbe case are that no ticket has
ever been named in Red Willow county
in anv party convention more fairly ,
openly and "more devoid of influence
and tyranny and bossism and all that
sort of thing than was the last Republi
can county ticket named in tbis county.
No man who was in that convention can
truthfully and fairly make such a charge ,
and this paper does not believe that
Colonel Phillips believes any such stuff
and balderdash. Whether he .does or
if , Republicans in Red
not , few , any
Willow county can be made to believe
such vaporings ; and none who desire Re
publican success.
NOT A .CANDIDATE.
EDITOR TRIBUNE :
Please allow me space in your columns
to inform the public that I AM NOT a
candidate for coroner as announced in
the Courier.
My name was placed upon the ticket
without my knowledge or consentwhich
action is wholly antagonistic to the prin
ciple of a "government by the consent of
the governed , " which is so tenaciously
advocated by the Populist party.
Another principle violated in the nom
ination of the "Popoilem" ticket of Red
Willow county , this year , is the aban
donment of principles for the sake of
gaining the offices of tbe county. Fusion
of any two or more parties can not be ,
never has been and never will be accom
plished without tbe sacrifice of principle
by one or all the parties participating in
the fusion.
The scheme of the Democrats to effect
fusion with the Pops or any other par4ty
is wisdom ; they are thereby adding to
their ranks voters for the presidential
campaign. But fusion of the Pops is
entirely inconsistent with their party
platforms , and the party in this county
will find it so when the polls are closed
in November. There are to my knowl
edge over thirty voters in this vicinity
who have always been staunch Populists
who will not vote the Fusion ticket this
fall.
fall.It is a matter plainly manifest that
the Populist party is rapidly drifting on
the political sea toward the shoals and
quicksands of destruction. The ship is
being scuttled fore and aft , larboard and
starboard , by ravenous office-seekers and
by the Democrats , and after the polls
close in November , 1900 , nothing but an
echo of the Populist party will be left.
It is now advisable for all true Popu
lists , who are sincere in the principles
advocated , to forsake the rotten'old hulk
and seek refuge on the shores of pros
perity and advancement. Therefore ]
now say , good by old ship I love you ,
but I can't stay with vou always.
DR. J. M. BROWN.
Bartley , Nebraska.
NOW AND THEN.
BEFORE the late Populist county con
vention , Colonel Mitchell of the McCook
Comfort boldly stated that the nomina
tion of Berge , Green and Neel would
"Place the Populist party in a position
where we will be obliged to make a
campaign of apology. " In tbe agony ol
his soul he cries out , "Are there none
others in the rank and file worthy to be
elected to office ? If there are .none ,
then let us dissolve our county organiza
tion. " In order to make the matter
stronger , he advises Berge , Green , Neel
et al. , to "Refuse to listen to the siren
songs of disgruntled and designing Re
publicans or faint-hearted friends of
present incumbents who fear to face the
foe with new candidates. " "Let , " he
shrieks , "the idea of perpetuity in office
be abolished and the policy of two terms
and out be fixed solid as a rock. We
cannot afford to violate time-honored
traditions for any man or set of men. "
But this was before the convention , be
fore the hand-full of Democratic spell
binders got in their work and captured
the Populist convention , bag and bag
gage , despite the heroic opposition of
Doc Miuniear and his middle-of-the-road
compatriots. It is different now with
the colonel and his Comfort. Principles
have flown before the alluring gold of
the sheriff's office , and now he has it
thusly : "The only reasonable objection
given for castiug a vote against them is
that they are third-timers. " Forgetful
of the "campaign of apology" the colonel
now feels that "Defeat means disorgani
zation , and it would take years of bard
work to retake the ground lost. ' ' The
colonel forgets all about the "violation
of time-honored traditions of the party. "
and climbs up onto the band-wagon with
his mouth wide open for pie. And the
colonel forgets his greatest benefactor
John Neel , who was bodily thrown over
the transom in order that "time honored
traditions of tbe party" might be "hon
ored" and tbe Populists be swallowed
up by the Democrats. If the colonel is
to be taken seriously , when shall it be ,
before or after the convention ? Or is he
just one huge joke ?
IN view of the supreme qualifications
of the Republican nominee for county
superintendent , Mrs. Martha J. Cordeal ,
it is pleasing and encouraging to note
the fact that many who seek only the
betterment of our common or public
schools , many who desire higher and
better and more efficient things from
the immense sums paid for public educa
tion , should turn to Mrs. Cordeal , re
gardless of party affiliations. By long
experience and continued and special
education she has placed herself in the
very front rank of educators in this part
of Nebraska , and her election to tbe
sffice of county superintendent of Red
Willow county , would be tbe recognition
sf highest talent , would be a distinct
ind marked step forward in our educa-
lional matters , and would do honor to
: be judgment and wisdom of the voters
jf this county.

A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps , each repre

"Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
