Butler Buchanan is-not at least sanguine that he willbe re-elected treasurer, else he would, not con sent to have "his "fellow candidates sacrificed in- order that he mijrht gain votes. Butler will need watch ing by the other fellows on the pop ticket. The Kearney Democrat cannot stomach Bill Green as a candidate for judge of the Twelfth . judiciSW district, and strongly favors the election of H. M. Sinclair, the re publican nominee. In this the Demoerat displavs srood taste and judgment. It will probably pay Newell Bur ritt to hire several husky men to carry him around throujrh the countv on their shoulder's, This ruse worked remarkably well in convention; It fact bad it not been for this episode Burritt might have been defeated. When Colonel Ellingham states that the county publishing was never awarded to the lowest bidder he publishes an unvarnished false hood, and. nobody knows it better thanhimself. If the Colonel wishes to have any influence, even with members of his own party, he must qHithistdowhright lyings TMlpopulists are already on tke4 ir.ppj: .astSunday several delJe ga tits to thepop convention, who had- remained i town, approached republkan, candidate arid offered to throw him pop votes in return for republican votes for Buchanan and Miller. This is an emphatic admission of weakness on the part of the pops, and shows that they are willinsr to sacrifice the greater part of their ticket in order to pull through their candidates for treas urer and sheriff. But the republi cans do not need to do any trading. They can elect the 'entire ticket. fr-t No less than half a dozen popu ists have already admitted to this writer that in nominating- Georgre Hardin for couuty commissioner the convention put up a very weak and incompetent candidate. One very prominent populist from Har din's own precinct said that he could not and would not vote for him, and knew of many others who felt the same way. This trentle man said ne nan tamed tor an hour with John R. Ritner, the republi can candidate for commissioner. and was convinced that he was a most excellent man for the position. Judge JRay has been on the county court bench for four years and the people of the county know him to be a competent, impartial and upright judge. Is there any valid reason why he should not be re-elected? Surely it is better to retain a man in that position who has been tried and not found want ing, than to elect a man who is un tried and may be found wanting. If you have any doubt as to Judge Ray's competency ask any attorney republican or populist who has had business before his court, and they will all tell you that there is no discount on Judge Ray. Any person who has had busi ness before the clerk of the district court must admit that in order to competently and satisfactorily fill that office the clerk must be well versed in law. In fact it takes a man of good legal ability to trans act the business of the office and keep the records straight. When W. C. Elder first entered upon the duties of the office it was after he had served as Justice of the peace for over a dozen years and he was therefore well versed in common law. To take a man off a farm and with no knowledge of law. and place him in the office of clerk of the district court would be fully as disastrous as placing a bull in a china shop. We believe that the voters of the county recognize this and will conclude that Mr. Ericcson, though he may be a good farmer, is not -qualified, for the position for 1 which -be has been nominated. H. 2L 01DCES FOX JTJDQI. That the republican convention for the Thirteenth judicial district of Nebraska builded wisely in the, selection of its candidate for stand ard bearer, eyen'its most bitter en emies are forced to admit. The name of Hon. H. M. Grimes as a judicial nominee will prove a tower of strength to the cause of repub licanism in '. western Nebraska Possessed as he is of a very large acquaintanceship throughout the district, and which acquaintance ship invariably ripens into the strongest sort of friendship, his election will be ntuch easier than a man lesslcnownffdritjs a readily conceded factthattherebemen wide ly known to the'pubfic, which con stitutes the greatest objection upon the part of the people to them. Witt Mr. Grimes the reverse proves true; for where he is the best known there is he most admired. Having a fine judicial mind he is not one who hastily jumps at a conclusion and there stubbornly remains, alike indifferentjto reason and pub lic opinion. Wit h a mind ever dis posed to listen to logic, and broad enough to understand the meanings of the law, he is-well-fitted for the position to which every ambitious attorney aspires.- Of evenly bal anced temperament his decisions will not be based. upon, personal or political prejudices, for xne of his character is not an individual, of violent prejudices. His: long legal experience gives him an Tiim nn excellent knowledge of what the people de- sire in regard to the man they ad vance to the position of judge the man who has" entrusted, to him their property interests and their very lives. His duties as register of the local United States land of- fice gave him first rate judicial training; and if many of his decis- ions were reversed Dv a superior court neither are we nor the gen eral public cognizant thereof. The voters of the Thirteenth ju dicial district will make no mistake by elevating- Mr. Grimes ,to the bench and unlessve are very much J mistaken in their temper they will i-wni I do so. Unless all the sisrns in the political sky are at fault the, even- ing ot the 5th ot November will usher in another era ' in thisTdisr trict, and the people will be speed- ily relieved of an individual who sold his political principles for a mess of populistic pottage, aad who to-day, some ot his supporters claim, is just as much in.line.with his former political party aehe ever Tas. This31atter vstatemaat J "7'... 2' is caretauv cone led from tlie: ex- republican popuiilstu: TXE rorotUT TI0XZT. . -The Lincoln county populist convention has at last been" held, and after much labor and travail has brought forth a very ordinary ticket. For many months past it has been conclusively well settled that the present incumbents of that political faith would be re-nomi nated. In many respects this has weakened the work of the conven tion, and the election iu November will demonstrate this fact. The head of the ticket principally bases his claims for reflection 'upon the theory that he has the only genu ine, name-blown-in-the-bottle brand of honesty to be found in the coun- ty-that he is the only individual who can occupy the bffice-that will Credit UP to the people the amount r i. .,A Krr f lir vnriniic I - .

It is a safe prophesy that the earlv days of November will show that there . as' a goodly majority of Lincoln county's people, who, when desirous of accomplishing any gov ernmental reform, will go to work within the lines of the republican party and effect the same.

Itlumpsthe whole thing together and claims au economy of about $3,000. Now it knows that this is th rankest kind nf derenHnn. vet , , , ' it attempts to play upon the ignor- ance of its readers. . All the time it has been the Era's contention that the payment for the delinquent tax list did not come out ot the people, but irom the delinquents. For the sake of argument assume that this is true, and what do we find? The first tax list which that paper pub lished (the one that its editor took I the copy to Omaha and had printed thus cheating North Flatte labor out ot the work;, amounting to $2533.17. for the reason that the U. P- R'y Co. did not pay the taxes lauus umu u.ci mcv uuu become delinquent. Since that time each year that corporation has promptly paid its taxes without waiting a publication fee to be taxed up against their lands, and the delinquent tax list amounted to something less than $500 each year. . J ote the wonderful saving the Era bas accomplished but not through aaJ uisposuion or Decause or any satisfaction to itself; simply be- cause the plum was ont of its reach, and ot course it was, gnarly and sour.

Republicans all over the country will vote straight this fall in order. to be in perfect form for the presi dential battle next' year. The re publicans of Lincoln county recog nize the importance of such action and will elect their entire ticket this fall. THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION.
