Tom Ma.tohs is all right and a good

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

Patrick Dwyer, a Tammany brave
of much influence, has bolted the Chi

Harrison and Beid. He predicts that |
80,000 Irishmen in New York state will

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

*». 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.—
