• Ik the Omaha Republican could suc
ceed in its attempt to drive VanWyck
and his supporters out of the republican
party, the success of the democratic
party in the state of Nebraska would be
assured. Without the aid of VanWyck
republicans the republican party of this
state would be minus a majority at the
poles. It follows that the Omaha Re
publican, if successful in its said attempt,
will simply defeat the party which it
usually serves with a zeal and devotion

Ou* esteemed democratic contempo
rary the fif’Neill Tribune is letting the
cat pvt of the bag too soon. Read the
following from its columns, of a recent
Issue:
The democrats of this senatorial and
representative district hold the balance
of power between the VanWycks and
Anti-VanWycks, and if there is any de
sire on the part of the VanWycks to win
they must coalesce with the democrats.
There is a strong probability fliat such a
result could he attained and with this
combination the final result would be de
cided in advance. Some action should
be taken at once.
“Coalesce” is good. There is an old
story about the lion and the lamb lying
down together that might be well for re
publicans to call to mind before entering
into this eoalesing business. The demo

to capture the senatorial lamb from the
republican fold. He’ll get in his work,
too, if he isn’t watched.—Ewing Item.

A MOOTED QUESTION.
For Homo time past there hot) been
more or Iohh discussion ax to the hound
ariea of the represent It I ve anti aenatorlal
district.* and to set at rest all doubts
Chairman Darr wrote to the attorney
general canccrnlng the matter and re
ceivod the following answer:
Lincoln, July 19, 1980.
My Dear 8ih:—The 12th senatorial
district consists of Antelopo, Holt.
Whcolcr, Pierce, Valley and the un
organized territory west of Holt and
Wheeler, which Is cast of the 8l*t dis
trict, (that is Keys Paha, Brown, Blaine
and Loup, being then unorganized).
The 81st senatorial district is Daweson.
Custer. Lincoln, Keith. Cheyenne and
Sioux and all unorganized territory north
of Lincoln and Keith, which includes
Cherry county. This law wns in 1881
before Cherry county was organized and
it lias not been changed since.
The 20th representative district consists
of Holt and the unorganized territory
east of the 58th representative district
nnd west of Holt. The 58th district be
ing south of the 20th, the present
Cherry county is included in the 80th
district by being west of Holt and north
of the 58th. K.vcept that part of Cherry
county widen lies north of Keith, which
is included in the 5»tli represents
tive district In other words, what terri
lory wns included in the 30th district has
not been changed by the organization of
Cherry county.
Your representatives in our last legis
lature omitted to have Cherry county, ns
a county, properly placed in a district.
Cherry county is In the 81st senatorial
district by being unorganized territory
nortli of Lincoln and Keith counties
and that pnrt of Cherry north of Lincoln
and on the west of Holt incltt ling Brown
nnd Koya Paha nre included in the 20th
representative district.
That part of the present county of
Cherry lying north of Keith is in the
50th representative district.
Yours very truly,
Wm. Lbksk, Atty. Gen’l.
Mu. I). L. D.um,
O'Neill, Neb.
It will thus be seen that one range of
townships, being rango 85, of Cherry
county, is in the 12th senatorial district,
and all the territory in Cherry county'
east of range 8(1 belongs to the 20th rep
resentivc district.

It may be well to say, in answer to ob
jections; that we do not pass any judg
ment upon the moral character of the
parties whom wo- sketch, but present
them to the great Evangelist family ns
they may be seen liny day about their
work. AY'c wish to avoid the charge of
“white washing a rascal,” and yet we do
not feel csfllcd upon to give our opinion
as to whether a party whose portrait we
draw is a saint or a sinner. Portraits
give only fhe outside and not the hearts.
If they did otherwise, some who are so
anxious to have a brother's sins all
shown, would cut a very poor figure in
our gallery.
Permit out to introduce to my audi

Mb. Hamby Mathews,
of Atkinson. In imagination we some
tjrnes see ourself retired from the editor
ial chair, covered with honor und a bald
head, pointed to by fond parents as an
example of what "a good boy can do jf
he will only try,” carrying off thgUtrtse*
of gold headed canes, and chair^ettj., at
church fairs, given to the most JNtfdtyhr
man. AVe say, visions of this sort fleet
through our imagination betimes **
among the possibilities of the future,.
But, unto some such proud eminence as
this the subject of this sketch has al
ready attained. For years he way the
editor of the Graphic of this city, aid A
among the best known of our old Rat
tlers. After having reaped U ltaKit

> gB. W. It. MBHirutX.
Mr. H. Hi alao a merchant of this city,
and la one of the aoUd men of thu place.
By the Way, be li an example of what
this town has done and Obn yet do for a
man whb Is honest and Willing to work.
Mr. II. came here live years ago a poor
man, Unlay he Is worth, we judge, $10,
000 and ln\ore. Uo has been trying to
lay down bis work ns a merchant to re
tire to one of bis farms near, but be finds
business crowding him so tbnt It Is more
likely he will ugain enlarge his store to
accomodate the growing trade. Mr. H.,
by his public spirit and wise counsel, has
contributed not a little to make Atkinson
what it Is to-day—one of the first towns
of Ilolt county.
Until you hnve met Mr. Hendrix you
cannot say you are well acquainted with
Atkinson. His place of husluccs can lie
found near that of Mr. Mathews, on the
west side of Main street. But let us
for a mumeut drop in upon his excel
lency,
MU. VltlMI* UCI.FEU,
the mayor of Atkinson. Mr. Buffer,
although the mayor of our city, is yet a
young man and a new comer among us,
This distinguished honor was placed up
on him lictpuise of his business tact am]
energy. He is also a merchant, and lias
a branch store north of Atkinson, lie
’will have a grand opening upon the
eveut of his moving into his now store.
Mr. B. iR ably assisted in his business
by Ids accomplished wife, who is a lead
ing star in the popular Huh Club of the
city.
With Mr. BuUcr as presiding officer n,f
the city council, improvements have
sprung up on every hand, as seen by the
new sidewalks, etc. It has come to li]i
quite well understood also that the julep
of coming to town, getting drunk anil
"painting it red" will lie all the wa^
from ten to ottu hundred dollars, and It
| is not as popular us it used to he. If yoii
visit our city , cull upon Mr. Bulfcr and
enjoy a social chat. Or, if you liayc
business to do in Ids line it is likely' he
can please.
T. K. m'coy
is to hive with Mr. Forney in thu new
building where he will carry on the busi
ness of watchmaker and jeweler. You
have read in our city papers a kindly in
vitation that run like this, "Bring qn
your ‘turnip’ if you want it repaired.”
McCoy can fix anything from a tooth
pick to a wheel-borrow. Many an old
“turnip" we may suppose, venerable
with age, that had been given up us hav
ing “seen its best days,'’ and laid aside
as a sort of family heir loom, came forth
on this assurance from Mr. M., and is to
day doing good service to its owner.
Mr. M. is a genial fellow, a line conver
sationalist, and you would lie interested
to step into his den and have him show
you u number of very old and curious
watches, which lie delights in doing.
Here is an old English watch, made by
hand about one hundred years ago—a
veritable curiosity. He lias always in
stock a fine line of fine watches, clocks,
jewelry, spectacles, eyc-glases, etc. Ile
paring of all kinds neatly done and war
ranted. Be sure you get acquainted
witli McCoy.
t.uwis m'coy
is an artist lutely come to our. city, fresh
from liis work and studies irf the east.
Ho is a brother of the well known jew
eler by that name. While he works
photography in all its branches, he yet
makes a specialty of portraits. Copying
and enlarging in India ink and water
colors frem old pictures is a branch of
his work. Perhaps you desire a photo
graph of your western home with its
surrounding scenery done up in water
colors or oil to semi back to the friends
cast. Mr. M. can furnish you a picture
that will make the old folks at home
open their eyes. Our Atkinson artists
have a lightning process “Of taking a pic
ture in about a quarter of a second that
at least will do justice to a number of us
who have had a scant allow
ance of thnt article Iiefore. At church
fairs where prizes have been given to the
best looking men somehow we have
miserably failed to get any. AYc lately
had a pecture taken by the bid plan,
which we sent to a friend. We felt in
simple Justice to ourself bound to state
in the letter that our “feet arc not as
large as raisen boxes, as suggested by
the picture.” Imagine a«r feelings to re
ceive a letter of thanks with the false
Statement: ‘‘The picture looks JuM like
yon.” Mr. McCoy assures us that |l»e
lightning process will remedy all of this.
We call the attention of our country
editors to this, whose pictures, as far as
we have teen them, sadly need this Im
proved method. Mr. McCoy is about to
teach a class in oil pain'" ' '
