Last year tbe democrats incorporated in their platform a free silver plank. This year they repudiate the free silver idea. The democrats are never con sistent. -- Tbe Fremont Tribune remarks that •o far in the campaign no one tff very large calibre has bobbed up to dispute Joe Bartley’s claim to the republican nomination for state treasurer, or words to that effect. 'S': ?. , iff' The democratic convention at Omaha demonstrated to a certainty that Con gressman Bryan had not yet become the .dictator of his party in Nebraska. His resolution asking for an endorsement of the free silver bill met with an igno minious defeat. Mr. Bryan has not yet attained the position in Nebraska that was once occupied by his great prototype, John C. Calhoun, in his own state and of whom it was said that when be took snuff all South Carolina sneezed. The Stuart Ledger expresses the sit uation about as it is with regard to the great majority of men ‘ who have left good homes in this county to seek new ones in an unknown country. The mis take made by these men who mortgaged good land and then let it go to foreclosure cannot now be rectified by the original owners, but someone vyll secure the benefit by baying in the land at low fig ures, and it is to be hoped it will go to actual settlers. The Ledger says: "Those who are satisfied with this county and are trying to build it up are handi capped in their work by the chronic grumbler and pessimist. More than halt the people who leave this country wish themselves back. All who can generally come back, but alas, have burnt the bridges behintl them, not buying a return ticket when they go away. Do not fal sify. run down the country, grumble and make yourself miserable because things do not come your way fast enough. All things come to those who«work and wait. What this country may lack in one thing is made up by some other val uable advantage not possessed by any other country. Those who are in bard lines—misfortune will come to the best of people in the best of countries— should not vent their spite on the coun try by trying to injure it by keeping out Immigration and making others dissatis fied. If you must go, go without throw ing dirt and in a short time you will ap preciate your lost advantages and ten chances to one yon will come back if you cab raise the money to come on." -i: -A Judmk Kinkaid has probably received' a greater number of complimentary newspaper notices • in connection with the republican nomination lot congress than any other man in the disttric*, which together with the pressure brought to hear on him by Ids friends, almost induced him to be a candidate, and had he done so we candidly bciieve his nom ination and election would have followed. Ilut the judge is not in the race, and so positively announces. The position he occupies at this time, all tilings con sidered, would have induced almost any man to be a candidate, and had the judge’s inclinations ran irfthis channel we presume lie would uot have refused to rut). However considered the enemies as well as friends of Judge ICiukaid must give him credit for being fair and honorable with the gentleman from Atkinson who aspires to a state ollice and whose interests might have been some what geopardi/.ed lmd lie been a candidate. As is well known the writer has disagreed many times with Judge Kinkaid in his public moves but we admit his strength with the people, ani whether right or wrong he has been successful, and "nothing succeeds like success.” The Frontier is indeed pleased to uote tiie evident harmony prevailing in the ranks of the partv in Holt county on the eve of a great politi cal campagin and trusts that nothing will arise to cause dissension or strife. There is no cause for it. To be sure there are some trilling matters of a per sonal nature, that cause some triction among individual republicans, but com pared to neighboring counties we are practically unanimous for party success. We implore all republicans to forget personal differences, at least until after election. There nrc no county officers to elect. The issues are national only and for the campaign let us be united for victory so .far as this county is concerned. In the antagonistic economic policies of the two political parties tlure is no doubt that the great majority of people who snpport them aro thoroughly sin cere. Both sides cannot he right, but a policy that brings good to people of one belief must open* its advantages equally to people of other belief. A political party is a creation of human ideas, aud no policy claims infallibility. It will scarcely be|denied, however; that the republican policy is thoroughly national in its views, or that it lends a wonderful stimulus to home industry, or that it is tending to the dcvlopement of these sources of national strength in every Dart of the country. Tito south has grown in manufacturing more rap idly even than the north. The Pacific coast has thriven wonderfully under the fostering of proteejion. The Atlantic seaboard has developed more strength the last decade than ever before, while the interior states of the north have in many ways developed more the past decade than in all their previous history. It cannot be successfully denied that the policy works well for all sections. It is a broad, national policy, whose scope looks to the prosperity of tjie whole American people. Its prosperity is both ffo those who believe in it and those who oppose it. And even if at the time keenly disappointed by a re publican triumph at a presidential elec tion, citizens who sincerely oppose it have often recognized in after years that the country acted wisely. Re ._.i .._ measures,asthcy have passed into history, have won the respect of patriotic citi zens of all parties. It is one country, one interest, one people, in which every occupation is concerned for the pood of all. The State Journal thus compliments one of our solid and respected citizens; “The men if there are such in Northern Nebraska, who are more widely known or bettei liked than Neil Brennan, are mighty scarce. Uonest, able and loyal to friends and party, he is one of those | Irish republicans who cannot understand why any man from his native country should leave it and come to this and vote the British ticket of free trade. In his store in O’Neill he has a picture hanging over his desk and this is what he said about it to a Journal Pilgrim: ‘You enu appeal to the reason of men through the medium of oratory and logic, to their passions or prejudices with music or in jective. but the man who studies that picture arrives at a conclusion short cut and correct. I cut it from an issue of the Irish World; and I have it framed in American tin; ns a specimeu of art it isn't much but it is a vote maker for the republican party. It simply represents Great Britain hoisting the Cleveland flag id the American campaign now on. As I said before it is not very pretentious looking, but it is one of those quiet things that changes the vote of many a man whom the campaign orator cannot phaze.” It will take a large amount of Chris tian charity to induce such old staid democrats as Euclid Martin,T. J. Ma hony, M. V. Ganon anu others of the Martin faction to quietly swallow the snubbing received at the democratic convention in Omaha. These men have never been accused of sulking in their tents, but have ever been found in the front of the fight when the battle was almost hopeless. It will indeed pe i more than passing strange if these gen tlemen become enthusiastic oyer the j nomination or re-election of Governor | Boyd. Tun Fuontiek, while not in sympathy witli the political affiliations of Milton Doolittle,yet desires to congratulate him upon his election as a delegate to the national democratic convention. This is an honor sought by many, attained by few, and in this instance at least it is most worthily bestowed upon a stalwart democrat, exemplary citizen and Chris tian gentleman. This honor is appreci ated not only by the democrats of Holt county but by the republicans, who ap pear to be as happy over the matter as though it waB not a party affair. And to Tom Golden should be Recorded a large share cf the credit of Mr. Doo little’s success,ns he was the chief organ izer nnd manufacturer of the scheme of securing his election as delegate at large instead of district delegate as first contemplated. There was no show for capturfng a place in the district dele gation, and so Tom conceived a plan to capture the big honor and so skillfully pulled the strings that all were surprised at tiic result. 1’bis demonstrates that the Keeley boys are in it when it comes to bard work, in politics or any thing else. , Tun 13th of April and a blinding snow storm from the northeast. What fiend ish glee must lurk in the sleeve of "Doc” Mathews over winter’s dissipation in the lap of spring.—Stuart Ledger. Ever since the founder of the Ledger, thd gallant worrior Colonel Ketcham, made the startling discovery that the writer was the author of that touching poem, "The Beautiful Snow,” that paper has continued to slur and villify, •us by insinuation and inuendo if not by direct charges of ati insane ambition to be a poet. We have thoroughly re formed since writing the B. 8., having taken treatment at a regularly organized institute for the cure of this fearful malady of rhyming,’ but if the Ledger presiats in this damnable persecution we shall no doubt be driven back to the hor rune siougn ot ucspond and inflict upon tho public something that will knock out all previous efforts in this line. The Lidger anticipates this result evidently, as it contains this mention: « “Doc” Mathews is revising his “Beau tiful Snow.” The new edition will be profusely interposed with—?—! J—£— t—nr if n—i q—u; Now, John Wertz, take warning or the result will be on your own hesd. Any man’s intentions or meaning is liable to be misconstrued, and especially when least expected. To illustrate: Last week appeared in this page a little squib concerning our old-time friend Welch, editor of the Blair Record, in which we attempted to be funny and With no thought of offending. But Welch took it seriously and m his paper exuresscs himself as surprised and hurt. Now, my friend, you were' not as much surprised, nor do you feel more grieved than the writer over this matter, and right here we beg your pardon ten thous and times for what you take as an injury, but what was intended as pleas antry only. You evidently do not know us. No man living has greater respect for the man who has the moral courage to help himself, no man wold do more to help, aid and assist in his upbuilding than yours truly. We honor and esteem the Iieeley graduate, appreciate all he is doing, prize his friendship and under no circumstances would we question hi%.cfforts for good,or in any way,shape or manner do one thing to injure him financially or morally. We ask friend Welch to do us the justice to give this explanation publicity. Tub two most pronounced nna prom inent candidates for the republican nomination for congress from this dis trict at the present time are F. M. ?Dor rington and James Whitehead, both good men and true to the best interests of tlie people. Without question either would creditably repreaent the great Sixth at Washington—represent not the party but all the people and all the in terests. Personally the writer is very friendly to the candidacy of Captian Dorringtou, and would heartily rejoice in his success, yet stands ready to throw up his hat for Whitehead, or for that matter any other good republican. It is safe to say at any rate, this early, that the republicans will make no mistake in the selection of a candidate. Dickson put up a political job on Joe Bartcly that brought him to O’Neill on the first train to explain his position. Joe hasn't tumbled up to this writing, but when he docs he will make it all right dontclierknow. POLITICAL POINTERS. The Courier nbtes with pleasure that there is still no apparent cessation of the encomiums bestowed upon the con gressional candidacy of Fred M. Dor rington, by the press of the district and from private sources. He is the ideal candidate at this time, we think, being thoroughly in touch with western Ne braska and acquainted With her needs by practical experience.—GeringCourier. The name of Hon. James Whitehead will be presented to the republican con gressional convention whether he will conscut to it or not. The demand for his nomination is becoming'stronger and stronger every day from the think ing republicans of this district. He is recoguized as the oue man above all others who could unquestionably carry this district against all opposition of independents and democrats, and redeem the district from its present disgrace.

SMITH, Manager. : No^other name mentioned thus far for the nomination has anything like the winning qualities connected with it that Whitehead has; and this taken with his eminent abilities gives strength* and determination to the pafly to demand of him that he accept the nomination and enter the race. The “big Sixth” will score a republican victory if James Whitehead is the republican noiniuee, as he Bhould be for the sake of the party. ^Custer Leader. Tiieue appears to be no opposition to the nomination of Joe Bartley of Holt county for state treasurer. And when nominated there will be little opposition to speak of nt the polls. The democrats can find nothing against him, except his stalwart republicanism.—SujperiorTiines. Doc Mathews, the rustling and pros perous editor of the O’Neill Fbontieh, came up on the evening train Saturday and tarried over night in Ainsworth. Doc will be a candidate for state sen ator from his district, and the gentle man who beats him, if he is nominated, will find that he has had a fight on his hands.—Ainsworth Star. If F. M. Dorrington does not capture the Sixth district nomination for con gress, it will not be because he Was not boomed by the northwestern news papers.—Lincoln Journal. CY MURPHY’S OPINION. The President of the B. C. of 6. Club on the Keeley Core. My position to-night is of a somewhat anamalous cnaracter. For the first time since my boyhood days I find my self addressing an audience without the exhilerating influence of "poteen.” The Bubtle juice of the worm was ever pres ent with me in my endeavois to advo cate the cause of my clients, or in my feeble espousals of the great truths of democracy on the stump, and upon more than one occasion have I entered upon.the discussion of temperance and aiicui^icu iu uiiiavui iuc lumuaucs ui prohibition, inspired by the wine which we arc forbidden to look upon when it is red, and yet with a mind freed from the black cloud of intemperate excesses, and in soberness and truth I still adhere to the same theory I have always advo cated upon the liquor question. I am not a prohibitionist and will always be found in opposition to sumptuary laws of whatever character as a means of enforced abstinence. They are wrong in their inception and have ever proven a farce and lamentable failure in their attempted execution. Nor do I have any desire to delineate upon the horrors of a debauch, to picture the agouies of the drunkard's remorse, the tears of a neglected wife, the prayers of a mother’s love, his untimely death and dishonored grave. Tongues more eloquent than mine have depicted these scenes of an guish in words of living light and with a pen of fire the record has been- made of those who have sucoumbed to the insatiable appetite for intoxicants until both mind and body have become dis eased, loathsome to himself and former friends, an assoeiate of those whom he would have spurned with scorn in his sober manhood, dispised even by those who cater to his unnatural wants, a vag abond and a wanderer upon the face of God’s beautiful earth, is but the exper ience of many bright minds who have toyed with the cup of intoxication. But let the dead past bury its dead and the charity of oblivion cover forever the memory of those unfortunate ones. We live in the present, with the future be fore us, made glad by the bright stur of hope that shines brilliantly in that heaven where all before was glodm and darkness. The bow of promise glitter ing with prismatic colors, rejoices the soul of him who but a short time since groped his cheerless way in a charnal house of despondency and despair. With glad tidings of great joy the truth is heralded in music as soft and sweet as ti e chimes of silver bells to the eager listener, proclaiming that a golden pan acea has been found that will break the fetters of the imprisoned soul, and again clothed in the created manhood of his God, he can bid defiance to the tyrant ytho has enslaved him so long. The discovery of Dr. Keeley is not ephemeral but is fur nil time and, eighty thousand rejuvenated men to-day attest the effi cacy of his treatment. Temperance associations and prohibition impossi bilities are dwarfed into insignificance when confronted with the living fact that the truth of science is shown by her victories where sentiment has failed. I confess that I was skeptical as to the results of the Keeley cure, and although 1 had read encomiums from the pens of those who had honored the "ermine,” and physicians noted for their skill who had experienced the treatment them selves, yet it was with grave doubts and many misgivings as to a successful end ing when I consented to become one of the inmates of the O’Neill institute. Still another thought was ever upper most in my mind. It seemed to me, and I have no doubt you have all had the same feeling, it was of that of offend ed pride, the subjugation of will power, admitting that I was not able within myself to govern my appetite. But gentlemen we are not alone in this failing. The author of "The Raven,” DeQuincey and Byron and the innumer able hosts who have crowned the higher intellectual walks of life since the dawn of creation have become the slaves of intoxicating cups. Borne men have never had the desire to indulge in wine, and others do not possess a sufficient amount of brains to enjoy a glass of good whisky. To these persons I have nothing to say. No danger lurks in their path; but to him wno is unable to control his desires for intoxicants the door of the Keelcy is open and the re lief certain. And when the short per iod of his tutelage within the walls of the institute is passed, the sun will be brighter, the world will have lost its sombre gloom, and with retrieved man hood and bright anticipations of the future he can exclaim with Byron: Here’s a sigh to those who love mo, And a smile to those who hate, And, whatever sky’s above me Here’s a heart for every fate. To you, my compainions, with whom the associations of the past month have been so pleasant, permit me to congrat ulate you upon your emancipation from a _ galling servitude, and when your minds Tevcrt to the tortuous path we have trod in the dark past, remember it only as a distorted dream. The shibbo leth of the future is yours and with it the gates of promise will open to you. May it ever be your bright guiding star uy uigui auu a jjuiuvt ui uuuu uy uay and with the aid of Him who once calm ed the billows of angry sea. The goal is won, the prize gained and all is well. I but voice tlie sentiments of nil who have received the benefits of the insti tute in the acknowledgment of the universal and thoughful care of Dr. Trueblood, the physician in charge, and our worthy president and manager, W. D. Mathews. Their treatment of those who have been unfortunate in the walks of life can only eminate from hearts filled with kindly impulses. That life’s pleasures may smooth their pathway leading onward to the great unknown, is our prayer Nor do we forget the sympathetic pressure of the hand and the hearty “God speed you” of the many friends in O’Neill. The treatment accorded a gentleman has been the rule, While the sneer of the scoffer is the ex ception, and now, with a reluctance that can only be born of an intimancy such as ours has been, and with the hope that you mav all be the recipients of God’s choicest blessings, I bid you fare well. ~PITl'HT’QrAf:ECREAM.

Swinton’s Specific FOR DYSPEPSIA, This unfailing remedy for dyspepxiaoftb most chronic type, is the result of mm year’s medical research of one ol the inn noted and eminent medical scholars ofti period, l)r.

Dr. Sv. inton realized fully to what c\:ei dyspepsia, whether mild or chronic byiw poverishlng and poisoning the blood.
