Republican City Convention. The republican electors of the Cjty of North Platte arc requested to elect delegates to a city conven tion to bn held at the court house on Friday cvcninliif, March 16th. for the purpose of placing in nom ination a citv ticket and also nom inating two candidates for mem bcrs of the Board of -Education. The basis of representation is one delegate for each twenty votes or major fraction thereof cast for II. M. Grimes in the election of 1899, which gives the following representation in the convention: First ward 7 Rprnnrl ward 13 Third ward 6 It is recommended that the wrda caucuses be held on Wednesday evening, March 14th, at 7:30 o'clock at the usual places and that each caucus nominate a candidate for councilman for its respective ward. A. S. Baldwin, Clirmn Ira L. Bark, Sec'y. Tin: republican county central committee has been called to meet Saturday, March 17th. It is urged that all committemen be present. i i 'i Tub Grand Island Independent has donned a new typographical dress and looks the pitik of pence t on. The new management is makirnr the Independent a model ,papcr. A. E. Cady is being mentioned as a possible candidate for the repub lican nomination for governor, but there is doubt expressed as to whether he would accent. We trust lie will consent to be a candidate, for a better man in all respects can not be found. It is not to the credit of Chadton to say that during a murder case at that place last week the public schools closed to allow the children to attend the trial in a body. What can a child learn that is elevating or instructive at the trial ot a man charged with murder. Four thousand laborers at the National Tube works at McKces port, Pa., have had their wages ad vanced ten per cent, which makes tho second ten per cent increase within the last six mouths. The wages paid the common laborers arc now higher than ever before in the history of the works, And yet the Bryanltca can see no evidences of prosperity to the workiagman, v Tjuj reflection of Mayor Moorcs ami the bucccbb ot almost the entire republican ticket in the Omaha city election causes considerable rejoic ing among republicans in the state, as the result will have considerable bearing on the fall election, The campaign against Moores was a most vicious one; but party liar- mony prevailed and when the latter is the case Omaha goes republican. During the past eight mouth the receipts of the government I, nun lmrtii RVT l7f.3 ftftfl In sirm of the expenditures; and during duced nearly seven million dollars. The tepublicau party when In pow er always reduces the national debt; and more than this, it brings about conditions which make it possible for the business man and the laborer to pay off his indebted ness, Conokkssman Nkvh.m: makes the statement without any reservation that he will be a candidate for re nomination, and that he will not attempt to secure a Beat in the sen ate, A at this time it does not appear that he will have any par ticular opposition in the nominat ing convention, the Judge evidently believes that his chauces for suc ceeding himself are much brighter than his bIiow for being senator. He seems to think the republicans of the district will nominate Judge Grimes to make the race against mm: but probably Hopes they will not, lor Judge Grimes would cer tainly make a very strong race.

This will act as a salve for the World-Heiald's defeat in the Omaha election. A Trite 'comparison. John J. Ingalls: "The republic cans hold the ailirmauvc on every great question before the American people. They have redeemed their pledges and arc not encumbered with ancient platforms. They will renominate P.rcsidcnt McKiulcy, as the democrats will renominate Mr, Bryan, by acclamation. One will stand on a declaration of principles for 1900; the other for the Chicago platform, with codicils and postscripts drawn from a grab bag, rcaliirtntng unuyiug Hostility to government by in junction, which is a chimera: ana to tue gold standard, which is the corner stone of the financial system of the world." liltADY ISLAND. Mrs. Worrell tautrht the young idea of our town Monday in the absence of Mr. Worrell, who was attending a meeting of the executive committee of the W. N. E. A. at North Platte. Jesse Nickles is much better and hopes arc very strong now for hiB recovery. Frank Lcdgcrwood was in our midst Sunday. 15. F. Sullivan went to Worm Platte Sunday where lie will attend court in the capacity ot utror. George strowbriugc is attcnuiug court in the county scat, having crone up Monday. Monday will loiiir remain a reti lerter day as on that occasion train No, 27, the local irelclit auu ac commodation, was on time out of here and it ie reported actually reached North Platte on time. The new time card that went into effect March 1 make things very in convenient lor the dwellers in this burg. No west bound passenger train now stops at Brady. Possibly thiB can be arranged differently with the powers that be if proper application is made. Miss Susie Johnson was a JNorm Platte visitor to attend the teachers meeting Saturday and returned Saturday night. Mrs. Crandall went to Cheyenne Saturday to visit with relatives for a time. Truman Crandall was a visitor in the county scat Saturday. The vouujr people gave tueir en tertainment Saturday evening and it waB so well attended that they will net about seven and a half dollars which will co toward de fraying some of the church debts. The uarts were well learned as a whole and ouitc well delivered, Robert Pcale, ot Worth Platte, is here doing some work for Mr. George.
