The Frontier. rUtlt.ISHF.n EVERY THURSDAY I1Y JAMBS 11. RIOOS, Kdilor and Prop. .OIO. D. RIOOS, Associate Idltor. NOTICE. There will be a meeting of the O'Neill Republican club on Saturday evening, at eight o'clock p. m., at room* over Dr. Morrla’ drug store, for the purpose of organization and the election of officers. All good Republicans are requested to come as there will be business of great importance to be transacted. Neil Brennan, President. Republicans should make It a point to go to tbe club meeting Saturday nlgbt. The scrawling hand of John C, Santee Is traceable all through tbe county seat election at Butte City. To Citizen Mullen: How about those duplicated bills, and that large sized salary you drew from tbe county as supervisor? Tns Australian ballot is a marked success, especially in the larger cities. Chicago, Omaha aud Denver all went Republican at the late election. ---- Tiib people of Holt county should make elaborate preparations for cele brating Thanksgiving day this year. They have a multitude of things to be thankful for. . It Is high time that O’Neill’s Board of Trade be organized for tbe winter. A few live business men will be able, by united action, to accomplish wonders for O’Neill before the spring months arrive. __ The Independents carried Clay county last year by majorities ranging from »0 to 000. This year, so the Clay Center Sun says, the Republicans elected their entire ticket. Congratu lations, Bro. l’almer. The Stuart Ledger says Atkinson is the banner Republican township of the county, and The Frontier desires to shake hands with the Ledger on that point. Atkinson Republicans are earn est, energetic workers, and are alwayB united. _ _ • What have free trader* to say about . tbe McKinley bill now? In Ohio the is sues were clearly national and the Re publicans won grandly. Tbe victory portends a grander and greater one next year, and President Harrison will be re elec ten sure enough. ' In Columbus, Mr. Post’s home, that gentleman recetved 470 votes and Ed gerton only seventy-nine. This shows how Mr, Post stands at his own home. Not only that but Mr. Post carried every precinct in Edgerton’s home, showing that he also stands well in the home of his opponent. Hurrah for Postl If it was "boodle and beer’’ that beat the Independent candidates, as all their papers claim, It must have been Independent voters who accepted the "boodle and beer,” and in the event ’ of that being true it proves that a good many of them are not honest and were perfectly willing to be "boodled” and “beered.”_ Ir Mr. Kinksid did so much for his colleague, Mr. Bartow, why was it that he received seventy votes in Chambers and Mr. Bartow only thirty-five, not running with his ticket? The people can draw their own conclusions, but in doing so it might be well to bear in mind that Mr. K. did not accompany hi* colleague to Chambers. Munchauber, in last week's Tribune, attempted to place himself right before the people. He acknowledges that he was hasty in writing what he did. and then flys off the track and shouts about another matter altogether. When "Munch.” presents some arguments on the subject matter under discussion, The Frontier will present its side of the case. Chadron Journal: In Omaha a Dem ocratic rally of 8,000 voters was ad dressed by Governor Boyd Monday even ing last, in which he declared for Edger ton, and said no conscientious Democrat could support Post. This accounts for Kdgerton’s big vote in Omaha and other cities where Boyd influence was rampant. Some Independent who so glibly talks aof Republican and Democratic combines should explain the combination between Boyd, the railroads and Edgerton. A mi ago The Frontier prophesied that if the Alliance went into politics it would also go into decadence and in time be disrupted. Our first prediction has been verified and unless they now and forever, as an organization, eschew politics, we are C9nfident that the latter part of our prediction will also be veri fied. The Frontier would like to see the Alliance kept together and we think that it can accomplish much good for the farmers if it keeps strictly within its sphere—and results clearly show that its sphere is not politics. Let them drop politics at once and take up the things which come within their sphere and our word for it they wilt accomplish grand good for themselves. Hon. Ai.kued Bartow of Cbadron, Republican candidate for district judge from tlie west end, will be the collcnguc of Judge Kinkaid for the next four years, bis election being accomplished by a plurality of about 800 over liar bnugh. Mr. Hartow carried Dawes, Box Butte, Sioux, Cherry, Brown, Rock and (iolt counties. Considering the fact that Mr. Bartow was only on one ticket and bravely fought bis battle practically singlchandcd he is deserving of much praise and we consider bis clectionn cause for great rejoicing by Republicans throughout the district; and the follow ing from the Cbadron Journal of last Friday indicates that the Republicans up that way are happy, and appreciate Mr. Bartow: * Messages this evening convey the joy ful news that Alfred Bartow has invaded the strongholds of the Independents and carries them by good majorities. Com plete returns give Bartow 128 majority in llolt county,which elected him safely. To clinch the matter a message followed from ltock county announcing that Bar low carried that county by 114. This was the signal for the paean of triumph and in fifteen minutes a big bonfire was blazing on every street corner, fireworks were popping, houses were illuminated, anvils were booming and the band was pluying "Hail to the Chief,” amid the deafening cheers of crowds of happy and enthusiastic people. It was a spon taneous outburst of sincere rejoicing and the people are happy. The Frontier feels a pardonable pride in the election of Mr. Bartow and the handsome vote he received in Holt county. We feel that it is an endorse ment of straight politics and an indica tion that the efforts of this paper in that direction are appreciated. We do not speak of this in any spirit of egotism and for hope of praise—we simply did our duty and only what we would feel called Upon to do again if occasion required it. Mr. Bartow feels very grateful to Holt county Republicans who stood by him and the latter send greeting to Dawes county Republicans and rejoice with them that their fayored son has been chosen to such an honorable and exalted position. Two weeks before election the Ewing Democrat contained the following con cerning the circular letter of Chairman Hazelel’s issued about the same time. Read it: A stray leaflet blew into this office to day. Whcu the dust was removed it proved to bo an old campaign circular which some blockhead of a Republican chairman had addressed to an Indepen dent voter, giving him the usual gob of taffy.' The disgusted Independent dropped the harmless epistle and struck out for O’Neil! in search of Boss Mul len, who will be requested to turn on a quantity of cold wind in the direction of the indiscreet chairman. The best laid plans, etc., etc., etc. Trom’s idea of conducting a campaign is simply to hide everything under a half bushel, keep his office chair warm and when any one makes a suggestion, look wise and say, “saw wood.” Mr. Hazelet believes in making a strong, ag gressive campaign and on that line of policy won a grand victory. What did Trora. win last year? Nothing. In the interest over treasurer and clerk of the courts the vote on the minor offices was lost sight of and it was not known until the official canvas was made that the Independent candidate for coroner was elected, but such is the case. Dr. Skelton is a young man of good character and is well qualified for the position. Furthermore, he is a Republisan and we understand has never been anything else, never sought tlio Independent nomination and has not been indentified with them in the late campaign. The Independents can hardly claim Mr. Skelton’s election as an Independent victory. Mr. Skelton resides at Page. Now is the time to organize Repub lican clubs for 1893. Let the campaign of next year be one of'education and it will surely be a successful one. Organ ize Republican clubs throughout the county. Let O'Neill Republicans take the lead, organize a club, rent a room, furnish it in good shape and keep good Republican literature on hand at all times. Let it be a place where Repub licans from all parts of the county can come and pass a pleasant evening and go away feeling that they have been profit ed as well as entertained. Rial Pies dent Brennan's notice elsewhere and at tend the meeting Saturday night. A Worthy Citizen. A very large number of citizens of Holt county and especially of Stuart and Stuart township, says the ledger, are more than gratified over the election of John Skirving, the Repnblican nominee for clerk of the district court. Mr. Skirving will make a good officer. His qualifications are the best and he will enter upou the duties of his office with the best wishes of all for a successful reign. The office has been bestowed upon a well deserving man, a thorough Republican, an ex-soldier and honor able citizen. The only regrets in the matter is that it will cause the removal of an estimable family from our midst increase Per Capita. From the Omahu Bee: The increase In the amount of money in circulation in the United States in the single month of October, was over #30,000,000, the largest increase ever made in one month. If this rate of in crease should be maintained the quantity of money available for the use of the Ameiican people would grow about eight times as fast, in proportion, as the OFFICIAL VOTE OF HOLT COUNTY.

Such an expansion of tbe circulating medium, without resorting to a fiat currency, or opening our mints to a fioodof silver from all parts of the world, ought to satisfy all reasonable people. It is not to be expected that such a rate of increase will be maintained, and doubtless conseiyative financiers will say it is not desirable that it should be. It is not necessary to tbe prosperity of the country that the circulating medium should grow eight times as fast as pop ulation, and under existing laws must continue to do so, while every dollar that goes into circulation is sound and is amply protected against depreciation. So long as the country has a currency of this kind all interests will be sequre from injury, but there would be speedy disaster to prevailing conditions if we bad the free and unlimited coinage of silver. ' __ _ The People’s Party. Sioux City Journal: . The election returns shows a rapid decadence of the so-called People’s party or the Southern Farmers’ Alliance. In Kansas, where the Southern Alliance acting virtually us a secret political party had a great run last year, there are great and almost universal losses. The Republicans made corresponding gains. The figures corroborate recent statements to the effect that the mem bership of the Alliance has fallen off more than SO per cent. The craze in Kansas is subsiding. The Farmers' Alliance has been crippled and wrecked on the breakers of partisan politics. The lesults of tbe election in Nebraska and South Dakota bear similar suggestions. The Southern Alliance, in its more in tense manifestations, .came up out of tbe extreme southern states, and really has its origin in agricultural conditions which the abolition of slavery largely produced. The agitation came at a time when an abnormal situation bad arisen in the western portion of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dokotas. It spread like a prairie fire over the arid region where crop failure, debt aud low prices bad combined to make tbe settlers* morbid and discontented. It came to a culmination, however, even in those districts last year, when it got control of the legislatures. The agitation in these western states was due to these abnormal conditions, and was doomed to speedy subsidence. It made no con siderable progress in any of the other j ——— northern states. The attempt to trans fer the vagaries and methods of the Southern "Alliance into the prosperous adjoining states of Iowa and Missouri, where Like people were more happily situated by reason qf older and stable settlement, proved to be a complete failure. The farmers simply turned their backs. The appeals of the agitators failed to elicit any heartiness of re sponse. The old Iowa Alliance resolut ly refused to be drawn into partisan entanglements or to adopt the secrecy and other methods used in Kansas, The returns from Tuesday’s election probably show the so-called people’s party, which is the echo of the Southern Alliance in politics, at the heighth of its career in Iowa, and yet its vote is comparatively small and inconsiderable. In Ohio the indication is much more emphatic. Special effort has been made in the late campaign to organize the so-called Peeple’s party. All the leaders of the Southern Alliance through the west, ihcluding Peffer and Simpson, were marshalled in Ohio for the express and avowed purpose of ‘/downing John Sherman” and defeating the Republican parly in the legislature. Out of all the clamor and claims made on behalf of the movement, it emerges from the contest hardly visable to the naked eye. Its insignificance is ridiculous. All the evidence of the election goes to show a subsidence of the third partyism which made such sensational surges in the arid belt east of the Rocky moun tains last year. Business Education Free.
