Republican County Candidates.
As the candidates on the Republican
county ticket have all been accorded a
re-nomination , there remains no open
ing for an { introduction of the nominees
to the voters of the county ; each and all
are well known , personally and by the
works they have done , and come before
the people of the county ou the record
made.
Dr. J. E. Hathorn , whom the party
has re-nominated for representative ,
made a careful , conservative and safe
representative in the legislature. His
experience in that body , two years ago ,
has made him a much more valuable
man than he was at the opening of that
session ; he has learned much that will
be helpful to him and to this constitu
ency. It would be anything but the
part of wisdom for the voters of Red
Willow county to turn him down at this
election , and we don't believe that they
contemplate doing anything of that
kind. He is able and clean , and merits
the support of all good citizens stand
ing as he does for good government ,
good laws , honest administration.
W. R. Starr , the nominee for county
attornej' , also comes before the people
for re election , and is willing to stand
upon the record made by him during the
past two years in the office of county
attorney. He is an old soldier ; stands
well in his profession ; is an old settler ,
and promises by the earnest of his per
formances in the past to give the people
of Red Willow county good service in
that office.
Henry Crabtree , the nominee by the
Republicans of the Second commissioner
district , is a veteran on the board , where
he has served a number of terms with
credit. Perhaps no man in Red Willow
county is better qualified than he for
that position. A careful man , he gives
the affairs of the county closest atten
tion. His re-election will do the people
of the Second district proud.
MR. CROKER calls ex-Senator Hill a
sneak , and Comptroller Coler a sucker ,
both expressive as well as characteristic
appellations greatly calculated to pro
mote harmony in the Democratic party
in New York.
ALREADY the census man has found
over 528,000 manufacturing establish
ments , as against 322,638 in 1890. This
looks as though the trusts were not
crushing out individual enterprise at
such a great rate.
THERE has been , and is , a Democratic
ice trust in New York , and now there is
a Tammany poultry trust. There are ;
probabh' other trusts , but we have never
heard of one which undertook to make
its profits by literally robbing the poor.
THE Omaha World-Herald of recent
datecontained an illustrated page "puff"
of Banker Shallenberger , the Fusion
nominee for congress. The illustrations
covered about everything important and
otherwise but the nominee's Alma
bank.
MR. BRYAN says that the present
prosperity of the country is due to "an
unusual and unnatural stimulation. " Is
is not better to continue the party in
power capable of producing unusual
stimulation rather than change for one
which produces unusual stagnation ? ,
THOSE persons who cannot under
stand why the Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson
can run on the Kansas City platform
after indorsing sound money in 1892 ,
simply admit that they are not acquaint
ed with the record of the man. Mr.
Stevenson is fond of holding office.
A" RECENT decision of Judge Holmes
of the Lancaster county district court
gives the Mid-Roaders the right to use
the name of Populist to designate their
ticket. The judge evidently thought
that as the other fellows did not want
to use the name by which they are gen
erally known , there could be no objec
tion to the Mid-Roaders having the
title.
Baby Is Dead.
Mr. and Mrs. D. Spencer's little baby
died , last night. The funeral will take
plpce from the Spencer home , tomorrow
afternoon.
The Majestio has no real competition.
It's the finest range on earth and you
will join in the grand chorus of praise if
jou use one -week. .

Assaulted by Ruffians.
After making a speech and while re
turning to his special train from the hall
in Victor , Colorado , Wednesday , Gov
ernor Roosevelt was assaulted by a small ,
but savage , gang of toughs. One of the
ruffians succeeded in striking the gov
ernor in the breast with a stone , but only
slightly injuring him. The party got to
the train in safety and continued its
journey to Cripple Creek , where speeches
were made by 'the governor , the same
evening. .
This cowardly affair reminds us of a
petty and contemptible incident that had
its scene located in Boulder , this summer ,
in which a McCook lad figured. The
lad in question wore a McKinley button
and stepped into an establishment to get
the service of a pump to inflate the pneu
matic tires of his bike. Seeing the
button the proprietor refused the request ,
and upon the lad's refusal to remove the
button , the store-keeper ordered him out
of the establishment. Of such are cow
ardly and intolerant political bigots.

Many of the characters in the Chinese
anguage are very suggestive of the rela-
ionship between husband and wife , and
save no doubt as to the subordinate
lositionvhich the woman occupies in
Chinese domestic life. The part which
he Chinaman plays in securing his bride
3 vigorously illustrated in the word to
eize.the character for woman crouching
nder the Chinese symbol for claws ,
rhile the character for wife , indicated
iy a woman placed beside a broom , is
vidence of the Chinaman's opinion with
egard to the proper position of his help-
nate in his household. October Ladies'
