Thb republicans of this congressional district are going to put up a man to win. Mb, Coppoc is an aspirant for legisla | tive honors. He may get as far as a , nomination. ’ Our independent friends are seriously In earnest, especially the large number - Who want office. i When Speaker Crisp refused to en tertain a diliatory motion Tom Reed was forced to smile. Nebraska will send an advertising train east this year, and Holt county should be represented. The republican county convention of Custer county has instructed for James Whitehead for congress. Tke Stuart Ledger favors tbe old commissioner system, and we are in clined to agree with it. Col. Hyatt is doing the “Campaign Clatter" on tbe Bee and doing it in a very interesting manner, too. Joe Bartley says the reporter mis quuted him in that Bee interview. Joe ought to carry a gun the next time he visits Omaha. While Speaker, Reed gave a new tone to parliamentary law, it was badly needed and is now appreciated by men :S: who once censured him severely. I In Illinois tlio people's party is not known nor considered when estimates of probable results are made. The light is between the two old parties. Jonas Eckkii, now of Dixon, goes wild over two things—(Irst base ball, next free trade. He loves home strikes, and evidently strikes at the homes as well. - _ -*-«#•»* — -- Tom Ma.tohs is all right and a good citizen, but it would be Impolitic to place him at the head of the ticket this year. At least this is our humble opinion. --. •. - - This Sun makes itself rcdiculous by charging the responsibility of the Homestead troubles to the republican party. Me should read the New York Sun and post up. -- The Wheeler Advocate, published at Bartlett, Is a new republican paper, by Todd Bros., and a very neat sheet it is. Tint FitONTticn trusts it will do some good work over south. -.- -- Wk are told that Tom Golden and Hank Murphy arc candidates for thc demo-alliance nomination for county attorney. It is hard to say which will knock the persimmons. Fred Dorrington is in the race for congress all right, and will surprise the boys when the convention is held. lie has made a fair, manly canvass, and will have no cause for regret whether successful or not. The democrats , evidently intend to take their medicine straight this year and not cater to the independents. The had enough of the fusion plan last fall when they united on the blatant demagouge Edgerton. ---*•*-« We hear very little talk adout republi can legislative candidates. In fact with one exception we believe there are no avowed caudidates. How3ver, Satur day’s convention will probably develope plenty of good timber. L. P. Glassduhn, of Wheeler county, has announced himself a candidate for the republican nomination for senator from this district. The Judge is a good man, a tried republican and would be a trusty representative. Local democrats are making bad faces when thev swallow the Cleveland medicine. One prominent democrat says he will vote for Weaver electors, and intimates that all good bourbons will do the same. P’r'aps. . Gov. Boyd gives it out quietly that he will not be a candidate for re-election, neither has he congressional aspirations. Tins Frontier wishes to nomiuato John Shervin of Fremont for govenor. If elected he would be a dandy all ’round. Patrick Dwyer, a Tammany brave of much influence, has bolted the Chi cago nomination, and says he is fi r Harrison and Beid. He predicts that | 80,000 Irishmen in New York state will bolt the democratic ticket and vote for Harrison. The convention to be held next Satur day we predict will be a harmonious affair, indicating victory in November. The republicans of Holt county propose to be in it when the votes are counted and personal matters will not be con sidered during the campaign. *». 11. iikuck AM) £4. 11. UKNKDK'T of O’Neill, and Lew Chapman of Atkin Bon, are candidates for the lepubllcan nomination for county attorney, and as these are the only names mentioned it is safe to predict that no mistake will be made. Kltlier would make a good official. Tnic Spencer Bee says Boyd county will join with Knox in the election of a representative, and proposes Ed. Fry as a candidate. But as Ed. is after the senatorship from his district we do not believe he will take kindly to this sug gestion. Why does not Boyd ask for the representative? Cltfo. Meik.lk.ioun is the republican nominee for congress from the Third district, and if any republican can be elected in that district it is he. This district was organized for the democ racy, but it is expected Meiklejohn’s j personal popularity and well known ability will take him safely through. We hope so. The attempted assasination of Mr. Frick, manager of the. Carnegie com pany, is to be deplored by the good peo ple of all parties. The democratic pa pers that try to make political capital out of the stiike and the circumstances connected therewith are finding out that 1 they injure themselves and their party only. In fact the effect will be a re action against them. “Now for a free trade campaign," says the New York Standard, official organ of Henry George and the single taxers. “With Harrison and Reed as the candidates for protection, and Cleve land and Stevenson as the candidates opposed to it, this is to be a free trade campaign.” Untrustworthy indeed are the lessons of history, comments the American Econimist, if this campaign will not result in the same way every other campaign has resulted in which free trade has been the issue. In an honest manly contest protection has never yet been defeated. ' Judge Crounse in becoming more of a favorite for the govcnorship noinin nation every day. His name would strengthen the entire state and the county tickets as well, and in the inter ests of harmony and party success it is to be hoped bis nomination will be brought about. There is no other man that would bring more strength, few as much, many much less. --— One of the great political problems of the day is as to how the wages of the laborer, the mechanic and the operative may be maintained. It ir hardly prob able that they will be materially in creased, for they are already much higher than in European countries, but it is highly important that they shoull not be lowered, ns they inevitably wotdd be were the democratic free trade policy to be inaugurated In the United Slates. The Bee is urging harmony in the ranks of the republicans or Douglas county, and advises a union on Judge Crounse for governor. This is good advice indeed, and if followed will most certainly result in the nomination of Crounse, a consumation most ardently desired by the rank and file, and which would insure certain victory for the party. If the Douglas republicans do not do this they deserve the severest censure. There is no question about tho advisability-of it. Con. Streatoh, who so brutally pun ished private lams for hurrahing for the man who tried to kill Frick at Home stead, ought to be incontinently fined by Governor Pattison, or else turned over to the detested Pinkertons. Hang ing a man up by the thumbs for half an hour may be countenanced by the laws of Pensylvania, but the man who takes advantage of it is a low-down brute, and it is a wonder his own men did not kill him right then and there. Kevep.end Lessenoer publicly says he had rather hurrah for the Russian who attempted to assassinate Frick than to hurrah for Harrison. The reverend editor it seems is anarchist as well as alliance in his belief. There could be no worse enemy to good govenorment than the anarchist and for a mau of this character in this western country to set himself up as a leader in any respectable political party is enough to disgust all good people. Our reverend contempo ray should blanket big mouth. Ueuk, you old soldiers who may be thinking of voting the independent ticket next fall, read what your candi date for vice-president said in one of his numerous speeches in 1880: Wo killed 11 grout many yunkees during tho war und 1 wish wo had killed twloe as many more-enough to have given us the victory and our cause success. How old soldiers can vote for a man who is sorry they were not all killed is beyond comprehension. Tho above quotation was not uttered such a long time ago, either, 1880. To run a newspaper without occasion ally publishing an item that is untrue, or gives offense, is like running a rail road without having smashups and accidents. It can’t he done. No man in the world is so likely to be imposed upon as the editor of a newspaper. Pushed with work constantly—day and night—he must rely in a great measure upon second or third parties for inform anon aa to tue events that transpire during the week. Frequently statements are received from good, reliable people, but which are subsequently discovered, after having gone through many mouths, to be without foundation in fact. If, therefore, kind reader you find yourself aggrieved by a statement in your home paper, keep this fact in mind. “Don’t tly off the handle," but go to the editor and ask for a correction, and take our word for it, in nine cases out of ten, if your case is just, you will be received like a gentleman and the correction made with pleasure. Democratic party organs reason this way: The protective tariff has caused to be built up in this country vast in dustries, of which the Carnegie works at Pittsburgh are a true type. They have made great fortunes in steel and iron, have practically taken possession of the field in their line of products by so cheapening the same as to destroy competition from foreign countries. They employ vast bodies of men of all degress of skill—at $1.45 to $11 per day and conduct their business on business principles, and make all the money they can. Had it not been for protection there would not bo any such institutions in this country, and consequently there would be no such strikes and trouble as now are on at Homestead. Therefore protection is all wrong! And although we came very near adopting a plank favoring protection in the Chicago con vention, and would have succeeded had not a few determined free trade leaders. likeWaterson caughf'usCleveland men" at it and forced free trade into our de claration; although these things are true; we now demand, as a party, that protection and reciprocity be swept away and free trade substituted; so the mines and factories, furnaces and mills be closed on this side the Alantic and transfer the business to England and Europe, let free trade England have all nil the riots, strikes and lock outs, and then we can fold our hands and say, peacefully, “blessed be nothing.” POLITICAL POINTERS. Even So. Jim Whitehead or Broken Bow, would honestly and truly represent the people of the Sixth congressional district in congress.—Garfield Enterprise. Thanks, Awfully. To Doe Mathews: la considering the postoilice embroglio, remember that “he who fights and tuns away may live to fight another day.”—Atkinson Graphic. It’s the Other Oh, Ton Know. Why is it the O’Neill Sun does not give the county board the same hearty support in the case against Mr. Meals it does in the one against Scott?—Ewing Democrat. What’s the Color. Doc Mathews has not as clear sailing for the nomination of senator as some people might suppose. There is a dark horse in the race. Doc, that it might be well for you to keep vour eye on.—Sun. Glasburn is from Wheeler County. Holt county has another candidate for senatorial honors, Hon L. P. Glasburn of Deloit. He is said to bo a good man for the place. With Doc Mathews in the race it appears that nil is not har mony m Holt county. We will watch developments.—Spencer Bee. Too Democratic. It is reported that Jone Ecker of the Dixon Index, is now toying with a legislative bee that is flitting around in the official aspiration corner of his bon net. Jone would make an excellent Solon in the hall of legislation, if it were not for the democratic tones that impoverish the buzz of his busy bee.— Atkinson Graphic. The Same Old Tune. The office of state treasurer is the most important in the state and should be filled by a competent man—compe tent in all particulars—a man who can bring all the requirements into its ad ministration. That man is Han. Joe S. Bartley of Atkinson. Mr. Bartley is especially fitted for the station from long experience, and no man in the state is better prepared to ‘enter that office as its chief. The locality from which Mr. Bartley comes gives strength to his candidacy and makes his election reasonably sure. The west will stand ns a man by Mr. Bartley, and it can be said that the north half of the state will 50 into the state and other conventions with a solid front.— Dawes County .Tmirnul Good Advice. The republican convention is near at band. Two representatives and county attorney are to be nominated in that convention. Delegates are to be chosen to the state, congressional and senator ial conventions. This year no candi dates are forcing their claims and aspirations upon the party. That which to the delegates there assembled seems best to do is what t’'ey must do. What is done should be done seriously and with the best Interests of the party kept in view. The nominations which will subserve the interests of the people best are the ones to be made. The result of next election will depend to no small extent upon the work of that conven tion. Personal preference and personal prejudice must be laid aside. Good nominations mean victory and poor ones defeat.—Stuart Ledger. Dana’s Chastisement. We regret to notice that some (nearly all) of our democratic contemporaries are treating the Homestead incident in a partisan fashion, for which there is no excuse. They assume that because Mr. Andrew Carnegie and his associates at Homestead have been engaged in an industry protected by the tariff, and be cause a dispute as to wages has arisen between the employers and employed, protection is responsible for the Home- ' stead murders and mischiefs. In con- I gress, too, certain persons who suppose themselves' to be democrats (Voorhees and McMillin of Tennessee) have insisted upon this view. If strikes were never heard of in unprotected industries, if, in fact, the greatest strikes in the country had not occurred in the unprotected in dustries, like the steam railroads and the horse railroads; if free trade Eng land were not a country of desperate strikes, end if these facts were not known to everybody with education enough to read large print, these as sumptions might be worth contradict ing. As the case is they are so far- ' fetched and wildly absurd that we fear they will bring discredit upon the demo crats in the national campaign. This is not a question of partisan politics; it is deeper than that, for it goes to the very heart of social order and the preserva tion of all that has been won tor civili- 6 zation. The democratic politicians and newspapers that are trying to observe the real question are doing all in their . power to injure the democratic party.— New York 8un (Dera). Special Campagin Sate.
