REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEETING.
The members of the republican
county central committee are re
spectfully called to meet at 'the
court house, in North Platte, on
Saturday, March 14th; 1896, at one
o'clock in the afternoon, for the
purpose of determining- the man
ner of selecting- delegates to the
state convention to be held at Lin
coln on April 15th, 1896, and for
the transaction of such other busi
ness as may properly come before
the. meeting-. A full representa
tion is desired, as important busi
ness reaching- through the cam
paign of '96 is liable to come be
fore the committee.
G. C. McAllister, Chairman.
The municipal elections held in
Pennsylvania this week would in
dicate that this fall the republicans
of the old Kevstone state would do
some record breaking in the way of
a popular presidential majority.
Slowly the coils of the law are
tightening about the murderers of
the Indiana girl near Cincinnati.
Iowa and Texas each have some
what similar cases of the murder
of female dupes of designing men.
A rousing McKinley meeting
was held in Lincoln on Tuesday
night of this week, and much en
thusiasm was manifested. Matt
Daugherty, of Ogalalla was se
lected as, the vice-president of the
McKinley organization for the
Sixth district.
The senatorial investigation of
the affairs of the Central Pacific
railway company is disclosing
some very questionable transac
tions, some of which it would ap
pear would come within the reach
of the law such for instance as
the destruction of stock books bT
the management.
The Chicago Tribune's resume
of republican editorial expression
upon presidential preferences dis
closes the fact that Nebraska
newspaper men stood one for Cul
lom, two for Reed, five for Allison,
seven for Manderson, and seventy
three for McKinley. In Kansas
replies were for McKinley without
a single exception.
The Omaha World-Herald re
cently erected a very satisfactory
straw man and then deliberately
attempted to demolish it, by inti
mating that some North Platte
federal official was writing finan
cial articles for the Omaha Beer
Uncle Sam's hired men in this place
deny the paternity of the produc
tion. J. G. Carlisle has declined to
take a hand in the Kentucky sena
torial fight, but will kindly permit
the democratic "Corncrackers" tn
run their own affairs. At the time
of the election of Senator Allen, in
this state, when a pop statesman
might be of more service to democ
racy than a republican, he was not
a bit backward in whipping recal
citrant democrats into the support
of the champion long distance con
gressional talker.
The Omaha Bee editorially op
poses the passage of a "curfew" or
dinance by the city council, and
claims that it is useless. That
paper loses sight of the fact that
such legislation is beneficial to so
ciety in that it keeps the youth of a
community from off the streets at
night and from associating with
criminals of every degree who love
the dark hours ot the night. In
this respect is the greatest benefit
from such a municipal statute.
A FEW democrats, silverites and
others are predicting that the silver
issue will split the democracy this
year. This sort of a forecast is not
:vorth much. Unquestionably the
16 to 1 men will make an active
fight in the Chicago convention,
but they will easily be beaten. So
far as concerns l?e presidential
ticket that will end the struggle-;
Every silverite democrat of promi
nence has intimated that he ill
support the candidate. It will
make no difference, of course, with
that candidate, whoever he chances
to be, whether the party splits or
not, because lie is .foredoomed to
defeat in any event. The silver
wrangle, Iiowever- will hurt the
party iu the congressional elec
tions. Many sound money demo
crats in the districts in which their
party puts up a free silver (Candi
date will either vote for the repubr
lican or stay away from the polls,
and in the districts where an anti
silverite is nominated many of the
other faction will either neglect to
wte or will support the populist.
Tfce republican -president who
takes 3ns seat next year is likely to
have 3. large majority in the house
of representative. -Globe-Democrat.

the whole. Thursday the motion to

but 37 out of 356 members were unac
counted for. Perhaps a few absentees
dodged, but most of them were un
avoidably absent aud were unable to se
