OUR TICKET.
A AVA4H A s • 5
Tito republicans of Holt oounty in
«•
' convention nisemble.t did jbemselves
proud last Saturday. Hr mony was
the guiding atar and the ticket nominat
ed is a good one without an exception.
Lou Chapman is the nominee for county
Attorney. It is not necessary for us to
introduce Lou to the people of Holt
oounty. They all know him to be bon
ayt and capable and will vote for him
in Nbvember. W. F. Eisele o! Cham
‘A?
bars, and A- ;J. Clark of Inman, were
nominated by acclamation for represent
atives. The convention made no mis
take in theae selections. The candidates
are not politicians. They are farmers
Who farm and make money by attend
ing strictly to their own business. They
ff were looking for no political honors but
. had tho nomination thruit upon them.
They are intelligent and conservative
' men and will be a power for good in the
next house.
Tan Frontier will have a great deal
, V Acre to eay about the ticket next week.
; iff
ill"'
" Watt, how does the ticket suit you?
Crounse Will be the nominee tor
; governor.
pff M' - »«•►«
•iff; - Tmt next congressman from the big
Sixth will be nominated at Chadron
pest Wednesday.
Jbt City, Mian., was destroyed by
In last week. $1,030,000 worth of
property was destroyed.
Eugene Moore, of Norfolk, is strictly
*!a it” for the nomination for auditor,
' judging from present appearances.
•ff.''Qrovrr baa not been heard to say
anything shout the one term limit,
'V, lately. Bntthe people understand. It
ia well.
,;•* Oeoror F. Keii-er was nominated
by the democrats of the Third congres
sional district. Meiklejohn will have a
walk-a-way.
GhB half of the Douglas county dele
gation go to the convention pledged to
Gronnae, and it seems now that be will
be tbe nominee.
, Wn sometimes wonder if there is such
a man ns D. B. Hill. Since the demb
cratic national convention at Chicago
wo hardly ever see his name mentioned.
V*It is said that it cost Calvin S. Brice
eomething over WCO.OOO to be chairman
At the democratic national committee.
Calvin’s shrinking desire to occupy a
lew conspicuous position cap be under
stood when this fact ia taken into con
sideration. . *
•-,v ■. >%
'ff; ’
hiiVKiiAi, covititles have instructed
their delegates to the state convention
for J, 8. Hartley, for treasurer,'and ho
is certain to he nominated on the first
ballot.
Liiiehty, an independent paper pub
lished at Lincoln, sava it will not sup
port Van YVyck for governor, and is
trying to secure the nomination of Joliu
Powers.
Titk legislative ticket is a good one,
both candidates being farmers and old
soldiers, and have the confidence and
respect *>f all parties where they are
known.
L. Chapman will make a good
olllcinl and ono in whom the people can
depend upon in having their interests
attended to, and he will he elected by a
good majority.

It is said that D. U. Hill contemplates
resigning as senator from New York,
because, wholher Cleveland or Harrison
is elected, ho will have no official pat
ronage to dispense. He might arrange
to have himself appointed first assistant
postmaster-general. Candidate Adlai
Stevenson ean tell him how much fun
that is.
Two years from now tlio whole coun- ]
try will be glorying in the success of
the world's fair, and the whole world
will pay tribute lo the energy and enter
prise of the American people in plan
ning it and carrying it to a successful
culmination. Uy that time Bro. Hol
man and the democratic party will be
cenvinced that they had offered every
support and eucouragement to the great
exposition, but now is the lime for the
American people to take note of the
fact that it is the democratic house that
has refused its aid to the world's fair.
Wiibn the Bland silver bill first came
before congress, D. B. Hill’s man Bock
well had his contest pending for Con
gressman Noye's seat. In order to se
cure the votes of free silver, nnd the
southern democrats ousted Congress
man Noyes, who had been fairly and
Justly elected, and, at the commsiid of
Hill, seated Rockwell. The other day
when the silver bill came up in the
house again, for its final chance, Rock
well voted against it. The southern
democrats are thus justly disappointed
for juggling with the title to a Beat in
congress.
Dhmocuats in public life feel ns much
confidence In President Hnrrison’s wis
dom nnd patriotism ns do republicans.
The bill according to the president’s
power to levy retaliatory canal tolls on
Canadian vessels passing through our
canals passed both houses without a
single dissent front any democrat, al
though Representative Turner (Deni..
Ga.,) pointedly called attention to the
fact that the power conferred on the
president is exactly like that in the reci
procity clause of the McKinley law.
Democrats know that this large discre
tionary power is safe in President Har
rison's bands.
Dhmochats weep over "the burdens
of taxation” that are put upon the poo
ple, but \bey have never accomplished
the removal of any of these burdens.
The promise of the republican party is,
if the burden is specified and pointed
out (which the democratic shouters can
not do), to remove the burden if it lies
within the authority of the government
to do it. The people are showing ample
capacity to learn that the alleged bur
dens that the democrats point out do
not, iu fact, rest upon the people. The
people have insight to perceive that the
burdens that afflict them are not those
due to a protective tariff.
Ouk fire department is all right, and
the citizens who used to say that the
chemical engine was "no good” have
now changed their minds. The boys at
the fire Tuesday morning clearly dem
onstrated their ability to successfully
control a fire, and foreman Trigg dem
onstrated the fact that he was right at
home when fighting fire. Although the
chief was not in the city to take charge
of the department his foreman ably
performed his duties. When our water
works system is completed and O'Neill
has a hose team she will then be
amply provided with protection. Had
it not been for' the protection we now
have an entire block would have been
burned and several thousand dollais
worth of property destroyed.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
E. cord Good.
Judge Crounse seems to be winning
favor. Fact is. the ludge has always
held an enviable amount of popularity
and his record is clear.-—Randolph
Times.
Goad Policy.
It looks now a** it Dorrington would
be nominoted for congress on the first
baliot. if not the northwest counties
will go solidly for Judge Kinkaia, for
one thing is settled “the candidate must
be from the republican part of the
district.—Chadron Journal. _
A Delr jate’s Opinion.
.“Holt county," said one of thb dele
gates from up the Klkhorn, "is going to
go to the congressional convention at j
Chadron united and entuhsiastic for
Judge Kinkaid. The judge has pleuly
of good support and, while he is not so
active as some of the other candidates,
there ia no doubt in my mind that he
will be in tlie fight to stay as soon ns
the convention meets.—State Journal
August 3.
THE PLATFORM.
Wo reaffirm the American doctrine of pro
lection. Wo call nttcriMnn to it* growl h
uhmitd. Wo maintain tlmt the prosperous
condition of our country In largely duo to
the wine revonuo legislation of the republi
can con russ.
Wela love that all articles which cannot
be procured In tlio United gtat-s,except
luxuries, should tic admitted free of duty,
und that on all Imports coming Into compe
tition with the products or American labor
there should bo levied duties equal to the
difference between wages abroad and at
home. Wo assert that the prices of manu
factured articles of general consumption
have been reduced under lie operations of
the tariff act of I. I.
Wo denounce the efforts of the d“tnocratlc
majority of the house of representatives to
destroy our tariff laws by piece meal, us
manifested by their attacks upon wool, lend
and lead ores, tbu chief products of a num
ber of states, and wo ask the people for
their judgment thereon.
We point to tlio success of the republican
policy of reciprocity, under which our ex
port trade lias vastly Increased, und new
and enlarged markets have been opened for
the products of our farms und workshops.
We remind the people of tlio blttor oppo
sition of the democratic party to this prac
tical business measure, anil claim that, ex
ecuted by a republican administration, our
present laws will eventually give us control
of the trade of the world.
The American people, from tradition and
Interest, favor bl-metalllsin, und the repub
lican party demands the uso of both gold
and sliver us standard money, with such re
strictions and under such provisions, to be
determined by legislation, us will securu the
maintenance of the parity of values of the
two metals so that the purchasing and debt
paying power uf the dollar, whether of sliver
gold or paper, shull be at all times equal.
The Interests of the producers of the coun
try. Its farmors and its workingmen, de
mand that, every dollar, paper or coin, Issued
by the government, shull be as good as any
We commend tho wise and patriotic a tops
already taken by our government to geuure
un International conference, to adopt mucIi
measures as will Insure a purity of valuo
between gold and Nlivcr for use as money
throughout tho world.
Wo demand that every citizen of tho
United States shall be allowed to cast one
free and unrestricted ballot In all public
elections und that such ballot shall be coun
ted and returned its east; that such laws
shall be enacted and enforced as will socuro
to every citizen, be ho rich or poor, native or
foreign born, white or black, this sovereign
right, guaranteed by the constitution. The
I free und honest popular ballot, the Just und
< i|iial representation of all the people, as
well as their Just and e<|ual protection under
the laws, are tho foundation of our republi
can Institutions und thu party will never
relax its efforts until the Integrity of the
ballot and thu purity of elections shall lie
fully guaranteed and protected In every
state.
Wo denounce tho continued Inhuman on ■
rages perpetrated upon American citizens
for political rcusous in certain southern
slates of the Union.
Wo favor the extension of our forel rn
commerce, tho restoration of our mercunt ■
marine by home built ships, and the ert -
l Ion of a navy for the protection of our i.
tional Interests and tho honor of our Hi, ;
the maintenance of the most, iendlv rela
tions with ajl foreign powers: < tangling al
liances with none; und tho pro..ctlon of tho
ri 'htsof our ttshormon.
./e reaffirm our approval of the Monroe
doctrine and believe in tho achievement of
the no.idlest dustlny of the republlo In Its
broadest, sense.
We favor the onactnient of more stringent
laws and regulations for tho restriction of
criminal, pauper und contract Immigration.
Wo favor efficient legislation tiy congress
to protect the life und limb of employes of
transportation companies engugod in carry
ing on luter-stutu commerce, In mining und
manufacturing.
The republican party lias always been the
champion of tho oppressed anti recognizes
t he dignity of manhood Irrespective of faith,
color or nationality; It sympathies with,
t he cause of home rule In Ireland, and! pro
tests against tho persecution of tliu Juws in
Thu ultimate reliance of free popular gov
ernment In the Intelligence of the people,
and the mnlntununcc of freedom among
men. We tlukeforo declare anew our devo
tion to Utterly of thought and conscience, of
speeidi and press, and approve all agencies
anti instrumentalities which contribute to
the ed cation of the children of the laud,
hut win e Insisting upon the fullest meat tie
of reltg.ous liberty, we are opposed to any
union of church aud state.
We reaffirm our opposition, declared in the
republican platform of 18H8, to all combina
tions of capital organized In trusts or other
wise, to control arbitrarily the condition of
trade among our citizens.
We heartily indorse the aetion already
taken upon this ubjeot, mil ask for such
further leglslatsou as may be required to
remedy any defects In existing laws, and to
render their enforcement more complete and
effective.
We approve the policy of extending to
towns, villages and rurullcommunltles the
free delivery servtoe, now enjoyed by the
larger cities of the country, and reaffirm the
dcoiarutlou contained In the republican
platform of IKSif, pledging the reduction of
letter postage to 1 cent at the earliest possi
ble moment consistent with the maintenance
of the poatofflee department und the highest
class of postal service.
We commend the spirit and evidence of
reform In the civil service, and the wise and
consistent enforcement by the republican
parly of the laws regulating to sumo.
The construct Ion of the Nlcuruttga canal is
of the highest importance to the American
people, both as a measure of national de
fense aud to bund up and maintain Ameri
can commerce, and it should lie controlled
by the U tilted States government.
We favor the admission of the remaining
territories at the earliest practicable date
having duo regard to the Interests of the
people ol'the territories and of the United
States. All the federal officers appointed fot
the territories should be selected from the
bona tide residents thereof, and the right of
self government should be accorded us far
as nractlcable.
\. e favor the cession, subject to the home
stead laws, of the arid public lands, to the
states and territories In which they He, un
der suoh congressional restrictions as to dis
position. reclamation and occupancy by set
tlers as will secure the maximum benefits to
the people.
The World's Columbian Exposition Is a
great national undertaking, and congress
should promptly enact such reasonable'leg
islation in aid thereof as will Insure a dis
charge of t he expenses and obligations Inci
dent thereto, and the attainment of results
commensurate with the dignity und progress
of the nation.
We sympathize with all wise and legiti
mate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils
of Intempesance and promote morality.
Ever mindful of the services and sacri
fices of the men who saved the life of the
nation, we pledge anew to the veteran sol
diers of the republlo a watchful care and
recognition of their just claims upon a
grateful people.
We commend the able, patriotic and thor
oughly American administration of Pres
ident Harrison. Under It the country has
enjoyed remarkable prosperity and the hon
or and d unity of the nation, at home and
abroad, hive been faithfully maiutalnt '.
and we offer the record of the pledges ke t
as a guarantee of faithful performance 1
the future.
