The republican party of Lincoln county in delegate convention the largest aud most representative ever held in the county selected the standard bearersof the party ..for "this campaign. The contests for the nominations were conducted in an honorable manner without rancor or any unfairness. Every republican in the "county had an equal voice in the selection of the candidates. The candidates chosen are unexceptionable in character and fitness for the several positions for which they have been chosen, and every republican is in honor bound to support the entire ticket, not only with his vote" but with his voice and influence. Lincoln county is republican by over 100 majority, and all that is necessary to elect our entire ticket is for every republican to vote the ticket straight. This - is a battle royal for supremacy. The popu lists are fighting for existence. "With the election of the entire re publican ticket this fall populism will be dead in Lincoln county for all time. s The populists admit that they ' have no show of beating Elder, Wills. Ray, Hosford or Donaldson, and are .using their boodle and . bending their influence to defeat Warner and Matthews. They say that while it is true that the repub licans are in the majority, they expect to secure enough republican votes tor Buchanan and Miller to defeat Warner and Matthews. Republicans show by your votes on November 5th that you spurn the slander on your republicanism; that you do not put forth standard bearers to betray them; that you do not give aid and comfort to the enemies of your party. Let us "rally round the flag, :bovs. shoutine- the battle-cr-v of freedom" and vote her straight, and very republican can then, with a clear conscience, join in a granc jubilee over the redemption oflan coin county from its worst enemy ' populism. . And it came to pass in the Prov- ,-irice of Lincoln, State of Nebraska: "That the populists such as Mang, Gutherless, Ellinghara, Beeler, Kil mer, Seaton and others to the num ber of sixty, held a convention on the 28th day of the ninth month. And Mang cried with a loud voice saying, nominate B. Buchanan who is our only honest man for treasurer and all the pops cried selah. -nd Buchanan came before them and cried unto them, saying, behold the only honest man in the Province oCLincoln. And Gutherless, said hear. Ellingham said so be it, and Kilmer, whose surname is Charles, went his way and cried with a loud voice, saying, is Butler more honest than I? I will not support the pop ticket; I will vote witiihe republicans. And when Butlertfee-honest man, heard this he took fifteen sheTcels in silver and went to the house of KilmeP'Jiiid said unto him, this will I give you if you will support me and Kilmer "immediately rose up ad went forth and talked with a ku4?Voice, say ings vote for the honest man Bu chanan. And Miller, Keliher, Bur "ritt, Fraaklia,B!awley and Ericsson were exceedingly wroth and swore privately. .Itf-Mrs, Franklin has evideace of llec. qualification, except letters of recenjiBiendatio by back-numbered Iowa oouaty amperiatendeats she should produce it". The people have right to 'such evideace. The Era in sketching the life of its candi date failed to state that she held a loma or certificate of any kind. is a grave suspicion that had W : ja , i -3 ipldqMt canaic.vc poacMu & mentarertincate at aircompu- We hasten to( assure Colonel Ellinsrham that the silver dollars being distributed by the populist candidates are not used to-parchase republican votes, but to stiffen the back-bone of certain weak populists. Republicans are never "in the mar1 ket" There is no doubt but the lies which populists are circulating in certain parts of this judicial dis trict relative to H. M. Grimes will prove a boomerang to Judge Neville. Whether these falsehoods are cir culated by consent of Judge Neville we are not advised, but if so we must say that he is stooping to tactics which would not be jrecog nized by any reputable politician, much less a district judge. The Western Irrigator, owned by a rank populist, last week published in full Judge Neville's decision on the irrigation law, and the Judge mailed copies of the same to parties all over the Thirteenth judicialdis trict. Last Friday the local popu list paper printed this same decis ion, which took up nearly all the space devoted f o reading matter. The publicity given this decision will lead the general public to think that Judge Neville had in view the votes of the people of the irrigated section when he rendered his decis ion. This may be a biased view of the matter, and yet there is no doubt but the Judge hopes to win votes by reason of the decision, else why should he give it such publicity at this particular time. accumu that George Hardin owes his nomi nation to a certain clique of popu lists who want him elected commis sioner because they know that they can bend him around their finger and that he will prove a pliant tool in furthering their scheme to loot the county treasury. It is high time the people of the county regard the office of commissioner in its proper light, namely, that it is the most important county office. It is the commissioners who make the expenditures for the county, and by them all claims are audited and al lowed. It is in their power to run county affairs in an extravagant or in an economical manner. This being true, it is evident that none but men possessing conservative business ability should be elected as commissioner. In JohuTJ. Ritner the voters of the Second district have a candidate who is a good business man; he is conservative; he. has resided in the county for many years, and is pledged to trans act the business incumbent upon him in a manner that will be free from political bias. Populists re siding in Hardin's own precinct ad mit that Hardin is not competent to creditably fill the position to which he aspires and positively refuse to vote for him. In fact it is admitted j that the less the voters know of Hardin's ability the larger will be his vote; in other words an acquaint ance with him does not result in a favorable impression. Mr. Dolan's candidacy for commissioner cuts little figure ia the contest. He may be able to control the democratic vote of 'the district which lasfcyear amounted to-about twenty but he is not entitled to any republican votes, and we do not believe he will receive aay. Of the three men. in the field, Mr. Kitner as the superior man for the position and we feel confident that the voters of tae iw trict will give him a good siaed plurality.

TmSESctinimSvBH The extremely hazard,? chances . ot the so called lnderfe'ntp'arty being-able tp. elect a single eandi- date on theirj ticket, are indicates by the methods .employed inthei? canvass of this county. Not hav ing any argument to present they resort to paltry lies, and have them peddled about the country by one of the party pensioners who travels in a buggy telling indepen dent voters (?) how to vote. These stories are heralded around as factsr with somemore reliableman's name as a'uthority for them than the cheap individual who turns them out for S2.50 per day. The want of policy in, the methods em ployed has made more votes for Dr. Warner Wiley Mathews and Miss xiusioiu taau xor me parties .ior wmcn tney snow tne greatest in terest - The. stories of which the following will serye to illustrate have but little weight. On the north side of the river they tell as follows: That ihex "republicans promised Miss Hosford a deputy at an additional expense of $600 to the county and that Ritner agrees to this.V This malicious falsehood has no foundation in fact Under the' statutes of Nebraska no provis- ton is niaae or can oe made ior a 'deputy for the county superinten dent. Nor for the employment of an assistant forwhose assistance the county superintendent is re sponsible." See compiled statutes, section 3206. See also note l. school laws of 1895, where the state superintendent says: "The law does not provide for a deputy coun ty superintendent, and action by such person is not legal." Hon. H. M. Grimes, the republican nominee forjudge in this judicial district, is not a stranger to the voters ot this county, in the courts of which he has practiced for sev eral years,.-and all will admit that as a lawyer he stands at the head of the profession in this district. In the trial of cases in the courts he has always relied upon the law and evidence and scorned to win by means of appeal to personal pred- judice when pleading to the jury, which has given him a host of friends among men who, while dif fering trom him in politics, admire this trait in him. What a lawyer has followed in his practic he will continue to do if elevated to the bench. The writer first became ac quainted with him when Grimes & Wilcox were appointed as county attorneys for McPherson county, and it is because of good advice re ceived from that firm that McPher son county has kept out of debt and is in such prosperous condition. Gaudy Pioneer. The political friends of Colonel Ellingham have convinced him that attack on Miss. Hosford week before last was a mighty "bad break." Buchanan realizes that it cost the populist ticket lots of votes and made Miss Hosford many friends. The Colonel is one of those unlucky fellows who is constantly irettinsr "his foot in it." and the populist candidates are excused for praying for deliverance from the action and words of their fool friends. IT is an absolute necessity in this county that the ccunty superinten dent oe aoieto hoia a number one certificate. It is true the state board asks the-questions for that grade but who is to say when they I are correctly answered? Does Mrs.' Franklin hold a first grade certifi cate? Will Mr. Buchanan deny that he furnished certain parties mouey with which to purchase the votes of weak-kneed pops, who threatened to vote for Warner? Of course the Bra will deny it, but does Mr. Bu chanan "dare to come out publicly and deny it? Miae Managers Apieal For Aid. Boise, Ida., Oct. 28. Governor Mc Gonnell received an appeal 'from the mine managers at Wallace stating that the miners union have, ordered the j miners out of the Hunter mine at Mul len and threaten to iake them out if they do not lorn the union. Tne gov ernor is asked to maintain martial law I and order out the militia. Another dk patch jstatesf the people pf Mullen want to organize a militia company. The governor nonnea muras capaans as Wardner to hold thesr companies in readiness to proceed to Malleu. He has' directed Colonel Morrow at Wallace to go to Mullen and muster in the com pany. He has wired the sheriff that property and life most be protected and martial law will be. declared instantly, u an uutbre&k. occurs. Pnvpr .vn Cty fVt OA Tno TTn'nn I tC-tuv in ivInnJfi tK WatH,.

In the federal court this morning Jncga jShiras, in the case of William H. Garratt and John T. Meyers, applicants'for a writ of habeas corpus, denied the writ. The court held that the Indian, chief, of police had the right to serve the legal writ addressed to him as an officer of the United States. : The effect of this ruling leaves the prisoners. Movers and Garratt, under bonds to answer to'the charge of resist ing an officer in tho sum of $500 each. The opinion is rendered on the first count, which charges the defendants with unlawfully obstructing, resisting and opposing Henry .French, Jr., an offi cer of the United States and an Indian policeman for the. Winnebago agency,in serving a legal writ. The decision is looked upon as a clear victory for the attorneys of Captain Beck. They say that it opens the way to the eviction of the settlers on the In dian lands, because Judge Shiras in his decision held that the writs of eviction issued by Captain Beck were legal, by saying their service was legaL More over, it is thought that the settlers will be evicted peaceably, as it is not be lieved they will further oppose the In dian police when it is understood that they are acting as United States officers. BIG FIGHT TO -COME OFF. Fitsslmmons Consents to a Postponement or ITre JJays. Rochester, Oct. 28. Parson Davies, . who is in this city with Sullivan, Ryan and other well known fighters, received tho following dispatch from Hot Springs; Hot Springs, Oct. 28. Charles E. Davies: Fitzsimmons will be here Wednesday. There will be a postpone ment of about five days. Joseph H. Vexdig. From this it is to be inferred that Fitzsimmons. has reconsidered his de cision and that the big fight will come off. Davies and his company will leave this city Wednesday for Hot Springs. Kew CoagtssionaI Library. Washingtoi-, Oct. 28. The works of artintended to decorate the now con gressional library buildings are begin ning to come in slowly. There has al ready arrived besides the nine sculptural statues decorating the western front of the buildingi which are carved in granite, three of the emblematic statues of heroic size for the great central draw ing room. Tnese are "Histonc," by Charles H. French, "Science," by John Donoghue, and "Philosophy,"' by B. D. Pratt. There have also been received two of JJthe life sized bronze statues for the reading room, one of Gibbon repre senting history, and one of Chancellor Kent representing law. The large fresco painting by the artist, Blackfield of. New York, in the inner concave ceiling of tho dome is "Progress," representing the advance of letters, art and science by bold emblematic- figures, which, it is believed, will be much admired by all resorting to the reading rooni." Governor Offers a 'Beward. Lincoln, Oct. 28. W. H. Essex, sheriff, and W. R.JBojwman, coroner of Sheridan countyi have each written a letter to Governor Holcomb, calling his attention to a supposed murder com. mitted Oct. 13 in the southern part of the county. The letters are from Rush- yille. The man, a stranger, was found dead on that date, and the verdict of the coroner's jury was to the effect that he was killed for his money. The writers request the governor to offer a reward for the apprehension of the murderer. In compliance with this request the gov ernorlias offered the statutory reward of$200.

Orme, sheriff of this county, early. Sunday morning shot Dr. Rose at Mesa, 16 miles east of Phoenix with shotgun, killing him instantly. Rose, with two confederates, had attempted to murder the Williams family, consisting of the doctor, his young wife and daughter. The latter was formerly tho wife of Dr. Rose in Kansas. The confederates, Burt and Cooler, were captured and placed in jail. Burt previously gave the plot away to the sheriff, but was afraid to refuse .to, help execute the plans of the murder for fear Rose would kill him.' Sheriff Orme was ih Dr. William's bed room awaiting tho assassins, while; remained outside to watch. A 9:30 Burt came and cut the screen and un locked the door. At 11 o'clock he re turned with Rose and entered the house. ""Rose had a blacksmith's hammer in his right hand, a wagon spoke in the other and a pistol in his pocket. Two dummies had been placed in Dr. Wil liam's bed. Rose struck one with the hammer. Sheriff Orme said: "Hold up your hands; I, am sheriff of this county and have you covered with a double barrelled shotgun." After waiting a few seconds he again said: "I will surely shoot if you don't throw up your hands." Rose failed to do so and the sheriff fired both barrels, killing him. Rose was wanted by the government for holding up mails, and aso in Kansas for bank robbery. He was here. months ago, when he tried to Mil his wife, but was arrested and agreed to leave the country. He had $300 and seven noses or arsenic sewea in tne waistband of his trousers. FAST TRAIN ACROSS THE CONTINENT? Trip From New- York to tos ABjrelea to Be Made In Ninety-Six Hoars. New York, Oct. 28. The New York Central Railroad company contemplates putting a new fast train to Chicago with the intention of reducing tho time of the run from 25 to 22 hours. The train is to connect with the new fast train over the Santa Fe route for Los Angeles, Cal., which is to start on its first regular trip on Tuesday. By this eastern connection the trip from New York to Los Angeles can bo made in 96 hours, deducting the two and one-half hours' layover at Chicago or exactly four days. The previous fastest long distance train in the world was the Cal ifornia limited of tho Chicago and Northwestern and Union Pacific sys tems, which made tho run from Chica go to San Francisco, a distance of 2,335 miles, in 85 hours and 15 minufes, the average rate of speed being 27.6 miles an hour. MILITIA ON GUARD AT TIFFIN. Speedy Termination of the Trouble Caused by Sunday's Riot Is Expected. Tiffin, O., Oct. 28. The indications point today to a speedy termination of the trouble caused by the attempted lynching Sunday morning of Marshal Schultz's murderer. A conference of the civil and military authorities has jnsfc been held, and it has been decided to withdraw the troops tomorrow morn ing, jmrtner rrouDienas peenanticv" pated after the funerals of the victims, Mutclilerand Matz, who wereshotby the jail guards, but it is thought this,! can bo prevented by having private fun erals. The Rev. Father Puetz today wired Bishop Horstman, at Cleveland, asking for a dispensation to that end in the case of Mutchler, and tho request will doubtless be granted. One of the largest crowds Tiffin has ever witnessed was hero tonight, being drawn here partially by the Campbell meeting and partially by a desire to see the scenes of the recent mob violence and the militia on guard about tho pub lic buildings. NOT VOLCANIC FIRES. Port TowNSEND.nValm., Oct. 2. d The exploring party which went into the Olympic mountains seeking evi dence of the alleged volcanic fires has returned after an unsuccessful trip. They reached the summit of the first range and ascertained that the smoke and flames emanated from a deep ra vine leading down from the mountain peak, and which was filled with dead timber. In the same ravine is a lead of lignite coal, which was ignited, audas the fire followed the ravine, caving boulders and falling earth caused the flames to ascend similar to volcanic fires. In the last few days tho flames almost subsided, although vast volumes of smoke continue to roll upward. After' convincing themselves of tho cause and origin of tho fires they hurriedly re turned to Port Townsend. APPL.E CARNIVAL AT EA1VGBTH. The"saH& ef Visitor Participating ; Ih thoM Celebratioa.
