In the demonstrations of joy after

Mikk Sullivan, as the democratic
contingent at the Lincoln convention,
acquitted himself creditably, and the gen
tle smile when Jo was nominated proved
that he was happy.
Title republicans have placed before
the people the best and cleanest state
ticket ever selected in Nebraska, and it
will rcceivo n vote so large that there
will be no talk of contests.

Tub Ehontiku is on top this time
and has cause to feel good. Crounsc, it
flist choice for governor; Gene Moon
its first choice for auditor, and Jo Bari
ley, its first choice for treasurer, are a!
on the ticket. Tup, Fuont!KH smiles
big, beaming, audible smile.
Tub choice of J. U. Tate for the set
ond place on the state ticket was indee
a happy one. It adds materially to tli
strength of the entire ticket. Mr. Tat
is one of the best speakers in Nebraskt
enjoys a wide acquaintance, and mini
hers his friends among all parties.
□ TiiKitR is no other man that coul
bring the strength to the state ticket t
the standard bearer as does Judf
Crounse. He is a man of the pcople.fr
the people and with the people on a
tho questions of the day, and so we
and favorably known that introductioi
are unnecessary.
Tub Fremont Tribune Imb been a true
frleml of Jo Hartley for many months,
and its able editor is hereby invited to
come up and shoot our chickens, catch
our tish, and drink our artesian well
water, to the content of his heart, the
satisfaction of his stomach and the
strengthening of his brain.
’litR democratic papers that have been
stating “with authority” that Blaine
would not take n hand in the campaign
for Harrison do not relish the announce
ment that he is arranging to take the
stump in his usual tictive manner.
Blaine is not a sulker by any means,
and will render valuable service to his
party.
Tub Holt bwys are good workers, and
no mistake. There was no* a drone on
the delegation nor in the contingent.
Every man was on the look-out. There
was not a nook or corner in the city of
Lincoln where politics were on tap but
that our boys were on to, and no opportu
nities were lost to make friends for
our candidates. Some men have cause
to damn their friends, but Bartley is not
one of them.
----
Joseph Success Bartley, of our
neighboring sister city of Atkinson,
will receive tangible and substantial
congratulations from the city of O’Neill
next November. In fact O'Neill will
second Jo's election as well as his nomi
nation. and will join with Atkinson in
beating the tom-tom. blowing the bazoo,
whanging the ram-jam, and we might
add iiritating the interior “after the
battle is won.”
Holt county has indeed been highly
honored by the republicans of Nebraska
in the placing upon the ticket the name
of Joseph Bartley as a cannidate for the
most responsible and important office of
treasurer. It is an honor not only to
the republicans of ftbis county, but to
every citizen, not considering party
affiliations, and we believe it is so ap
preciated. If the result at the polls
does not demonstrate this we shall be
very much mistaken. The county vote
for Jo Bartley should be practically unan
imous.
Am. tilings considered Jo Hartley's
success nt< Lincoln was remarkable. It
proves tlmt a nervy man,with friends to
hack him who know how and are zeal
ous woikers, can accomplish a great
deal ' in politics as well as in anything
else. Much victories are accomplished
only by persistent, united and untiring
efforts. Mr. Hartley we know fully ap
preciates the efforts of his friends, and
is not so foolish as not to realize that to
them is due great credit.

Jcoon KknAston ably presented the
Hpcncer side of the Boyd county con
test to the state convention, and while
not successful he has the satisfaction of
having done liis duty to the cause he
represented, and his people owe him a
vote of thanks. The disagreements
among the republicans of our new sis
ter county are to be regretted by the re
publicans of the entire state, and we
sincerely trust that they will soon be
satisfactorily and amicably adjusted.
The contest should not be carried to the
polls, and Lboth the Butte and Spencer
factions should make concessions for
the sake of harmony and get, together.
The ranks should be united for the big
light against the enemy in November.
Conokkssman Watson punches the
present congress pretty hard. He says:
"This congress now sitting is one illus
tration. Pledged to reform, they have
not reformed. Pledged to legislate, they
have not legislated. Extravagance has
been the order of the day. Absenteeism
was never so pronounced. Lack of
purpose was never so clear. Lack of
common business prudence never more
glaring. Drunken members have reeled
about the aisles, a disgrace to the repub
lic. Drunken speakers have debated
grave issues, and in the midst of maud
lin mmbles have been heard to ask:
‘Mr. Speaker, where was I at?' Use
less employes crowd every corridor.
Useless expenditures pervade every de
partment."
Den. Van Wyck works all the rackets,
pulls all the strings, manipulates all the
wires, that any politician in the world
does, but if he proposes to molify,
solidify and enthuse all his admirers by
presenting them with books that cost
wholesale $J.90 each, it strikes us that
his campaign will prove a trille expen
sive, but as he is a millionare we pre
sume he can stand it. Our old friend
Uncle Peter Cauble appreciates the
handsome copy of the "Pathway of
Life” the general sent him, and no
doubt will endeavor to make the would
be governor's politicrl path in life up
about Emmet royally successful. It is
not known how many copies of this
most excellent work Gen. Ean Wyck
has contracted for, but as he has se
cured this low rale it is to be presumed
he lias arranged with the publishing
house to take all of the latest edition of
'-’fi.OOO copies. While the writer is not
fully in the general’s confidence we are
told that he intends to present these
books to the men in the party of real
inllucnce rather than the bell-wethers.
Those of our alliance friends who ure
over-looked should make a kick by
writing to Van at Nebraska City.
In the selection of candidates for
members of the lower branch of the
legislature the republicans of Holt
countv evidenced the very best of judg
ment, and it is the opinion of this paper
that the people will ratify at the polls
the wisdom of the convention. Mr.
Clark and Mr. Eisele are old settlers
who have been identified with every
movement inaugurated for the public
good, no matter what the character of
the movement might be. They are
farmers who farm their farms, and not
the kind of farmers who farm the
farmers, referred to by Mr. McKinley
in his speech at Lincoln last week. Mr.
Eisele's farm in the southern portion
of the county shows that hard work and
close attention to business makes farm
ing profitable, and Mr. Clark’s home
southwest of Inman proves the same
thing. Both are practical, every day,
honorable gentleman, a credit to the
county and in every way worthy and
competent to represent our people in the
state legislature. Understanding our
needs and with the disposition to do
what is right by all they will prove
faithful representatives, who will fight
as valiantly corporation dictation and
unjust demands as they did for their
country when rebellion threatened des
truction. Messrs Clark and Eisele
arc all right.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The republican press of the state is a
unit in endorsing the ticket nominated
at Lincoln, says the Bee, and even the
democratic papers can find no fault with
the nomiuecs. The straight-out demo
cratic Ulattsmouth Journal says: “The
republicans have probably nominated as
strong a man as they have in the state
for governor."
Says the Nebraska City Press: “With
Judge Crounse as the standard bearer of
the republican party in this stale the
outlook is certainly assuring. A man
whose official or personal integrity has
never been question, he will draw to his
support the full moral strength of the
party, lie is not a man who will have
to be defended, lie can rather himself
take the aggressive, and carry the battle
into the camp of the enemy.”
“The republican state convention has
redeemed itself with the people,” savs the
Broken -Bow Republican. ‘‘The sclec
tions are the beat that coaid have been
made, and greatly Increase the chances
of the republican party in Nebraska.”
The Lincoln news speaks of the ticket
as "the beat that has ever been presented
to the people of Nebraska. The action
at the state convention removes the re
publican party from the influences that
have hampered it in the past and places
it in the hands of the people. The people
elected the delegates to the convention.
The people nominated the ticket, and
the people will elect the ticket.”
The republicans of Nebraska are no
longer trying to "get together." They
have “got there.”_ .
The Beatrice Express declares: “It is
a clean ticket from top to bottom and
will be supported by a united party. The
platform upon which its stands is solid
and clean in all its parts. There will be
no kniflng and no kicking done, but
with a solid front the republican party
of Nebraska will this year march to
victory without defeat anywhere along
the line.” _
The Lincoln Journal says: “The
strong points in favor of the candidacy
of Judge Lorenzo Crounse arc becoming
more evident to the republicans of Ne
braska with each new day. Ilis unassail
able private character, his long and use
ful public service, his marked ability as
an executive officer and his great popu
larity with several classes of citizens
who wield a strong influence in deciding
elections in this state will undoubtedly
place him at the head of all the candi
dates early in the race and and bring
him in far in the lead when the ballots
are finally counted."
The World-Herald thus speaks of the
nominee for gevernor: "Judge Crounse,
who was nominated by the republicans
for governor, is probably the only mem
ber of the party in the state whose
leadership can be hoped to rally the
broken ranks of republicanism in Ne
braska.
He is one of the few republicans in
the state whose public life and party
record have been above reproach and
marked by a sturdy and honorable an
tagonism to the corrupting control of
corporations. His voice has often been
raised in solemn protest against the
high-handed manipulation of republi
can state conventions by the railroad
rings which so long dominated them.”
Coming from a democratic source, the
World-Herald, this is pretty good:
“The nomination of Joe Bartley of
Holt county, for state treasurer was a
direct slap at Old Man Republican. His
paper has persistently maligned Bartley,
who is one of the most courteous gen
tlemen in Nebraska. For 10 years
Bartley has been a banker at Atkinson,
and during all that time it is said he has
never been engaged in a law suit or
foreclosed a mortgage. For these and
other reasons Bartley is very popular in
Northern Nebraska.”
