REPUBLICAN" COMMITTEE MEETING.
The committeemen of the several
precincts of Lincoln county are re
spectfully requested to meet at the
court house in North Platte, Satur-J
day, May 23, 18, at one o'clock p.
m., to designate the time and place
of holding- the republican county
convention, to apportion the repre
sentation to the several precincts,
and to transact such other business
as may properly come before the
committee. That a representative
meeting may by had a full attend
ance is desirable.
G. C. McAllister, Chairman.
The Kearney Era, which sold its
political principles two years ago
for the official patronage of Buffalo
county, takes exceptions to The
Tribune's statement that a big
crop in Nebraska means a big -republican
majority. The Era, how
ever, will admit after the Novem
ber election that The Tribune is a
true prophet.
The city of North Platte pays the
the Telegraph one-third legal rates
for doing the legal publishing and
no one questions the validity of the
contract. The county commission
ers have the same privilege as the
council in accepting the lowest bid
for the publication of official notices
but they positively refuse to accept
any but the highest.
Up to yesterday 854 delegates to
the republican convention had been
elected, 508 of whom are either in
structed for or pledged to McKin
ley. There are contests in seven
of the southern states which involve
119 delegates, and omitting these
McKinley has 398 delegates. A
sufficient number of the contested
seats to nominate McKinley will be
decided in his favor.
The Tribune editor will not seek
admission to the star-chamber ses
sion of the populist county central
committee on the 16th, knowing
full well that his presence wouhJJb4
obnoxious toJdgwho rule the
HP"dnst roost. The pop leaders
have no love for The Tribune for
the reason that it is pretty well ac
quainted with that part of their
political record which they wish
kept quiet.
Whatever may be said against
Rosewater's political course, it must
be admitted that he is an earnest
worker for Omaha's interests. His
work in Washington the past week
in the interests of the Trans-Mississippi
exposition bill was of a
telling nature, and he should receive
due credit for his exertions in that
direction. It now looks as though
congress would.grant the appropria.
tion asked for by the promoters of
the exposition.
Republicans favor sound money
aud have alwa3Ts done so, says the
Inter Ocean. They are the makers
of the present greenback and na
tional bank currency, and there is
none better upon the globe. They
favor both gold and silver and will
continue to do so, while" they will
carefully guard the interests of
the people from any wild schemes
that visionaries bring Jprward.
But they do not regard this cur
rency question as the great and
leading issue of the campaign.
That is protection to American in
dustries. Republicanism has never
been a one-idea party and the effort
of the gold bugs to run the cam
paign on that issue will fail.
The secretary of the democratic
national committee in furnishing a
list of accredited delegates to the
Chicago convention on request of one
of the Chicago newspapers, includ
ed as the delegation from Nebras
ka the names selected by the conven
tion of administration democrats.
This means in all probability that
the national committee is go
ing to recognize the administration
men in making up the official dele
gate roll aud force, the Bryanities
to assume the position of contes
tants. This may not be a. surprise
to Nebraska democrats, but it is to
be taken as confirmation of what
has been suspected all the time.
Bee.
There is said to be a. strong
sentiment among officials of
the Union Pacific that foreclosure
of the government's mortgages
would be preferable to the results
under the proposed funding bill.
Foreclosure might be the best thing
anyway. The country has been
going through a process of liquida
tion of many private and corpora
tion interests, and it is possible
that foreclosure and liquidation
would be of the greatest benefit to
the greater number by squeezing
all o the water out the stock and
placing the road on a legitimate
basis of capitalization. Other
western roads would of course be
affected because they would have to
be deflated to a corresponding basis,
and the whole public would be
benefited by a lower level of trans
portation tariffs. Ex.
