A Slumber of young people from this city attended and report a pleasant time. One year ago the democrats of Holt county in convention assembled roasted Gov. Boyd to a turn. This year they bathed him in soft soap and swallowed hint, veto and all, without a struggle. An ice cream and cake social was given at the residence of Father Cas sidy last evening for the benefit of the church. There was a large crowd in attendance. We did not learn the amount made. Miss Em. Cristie, who writes adver tising poetry as did Mrs. Belle Hastings, was in the city Tuesday, but fearing she could do no busidess here in the face of Belle’s recent discordant jingle, turned \ her face towards Boyd’s teepes. i The Independent opened its mouth : on the supervisor question and in an at | tempt to say something swallowed it£ i putrid hoof. Since we furnished a cer i tificate from the clerk it is like the kid f with the new pants, in that it has noth ing to say. _ Miss Kittie Dwyer, who. has been spending her summer vacation visiting relatives in O’Neill, returned this morn ing to St. Joseph, Mo.

Mr. Sullivan informs us that he has purchased, for bis Trade Palace, the largest stock of goods ever brought into northwest Ne braska.

V., anticipating some business from the chicory factory, are making arrangements to handle the work and Roadmaster Stafford is in the city this morning to locate a side track to the factory. Chief Mathews tendered his resigna tion at the meeting of the fire depart ment last Friday evening, but it being a special meeting, called for no particu lar purpose, the boys postponed action untii regular meeting 'night, next Tues day evening. Every member should register a vote at that time. The Sun says Joe Hunter was elected chairman, and Clyde King secretary, of the republican senatorial convention, held in this city August 20, which is a mistake. Samuel C. Sample, of Boyd, v.-as chairman and J. A. Rice, of Holt, secretary. Mr. Hunter was elected chairman of the central committee and Mr. King secretary. John Crawford, one of those reform ers, filed a bill this morning for work since the July meeting, about 38 days ago, amounting to $81.80. This makes a grand total of $356.80 that this horny handed son of retrenchment has drawn already in the year of our Lord 1893. The more of this kind of business that is done the sooner we will have some sort of a commissioner system. The republican club held an enthus iastic meeting last Friday evening. Mr. Swingley was elected secretary to fill vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. Riggs from the city. Chairman Towle tendered his resignation, wbtoh was tabled until the next regnlar meeting, which occuis Saturday night of this week, at which time it is desired that all members he present; also those who may wish to become members. The Enterprise man recently had the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of W. F. Etsley, one of the republican can didates for repsesentative of Holt Co. Mr. Etsley is a farmer residing about six miles north of the Garfield county line, and is a man of experience, of in telligence and of honor, and just the man to properly represent the intelligent thrifty farmers of Holt county.—Garfi eld Enterprise. In Pike county, Illinois, the identical pistol used by Aaron Burr upon the dueling field when he killed Alexander Hamilton has been found and will be exhibited at the world's Columbian ex position. It will make a good compan ion piece for the articles once owned by Blennerhassett, with whom Burr after wards associated, which are to be placed on exhibition af the world’s fair by the Ohio historical society. Last Tuesday the board appointed Hayes, Hunter and Bethea as committee to investigate supervisors. Thus is TnE Frontier's expose bearing fruit. It might also be a pious idea to look after their bonds a little. It is reported that a great majority of them are of the straw order and wonderfully and fear fully made. [Later—Since writing the above the board reconsidered and appointed com mittee to employ expert to examine rec ords of entire county. Howard Wilcox dropped in at head quarters Wednesday long enough to subscribe and take our breath away by assertiug that he was married a year ago last June. Of course it was not surprising that as nice a fellow as How ard should marry—it would be more surprising if he could remain single— but the idea of living a wedded life for more than a year without anyone catch ing on is what set the wheels in our head to whirling. His wife, formerly Miss Mable Dennison, so well and favorably known in O’Neill, is to be congratulated. Howard is to be congratulated. They both are to be congratulated and Tiie Frontier joins their many friends in throwing old slippers at them even at this late date and great distance. The democrats met in convention in Funke's opera bouse in Lincoln Tues day and nominated the following ticket: Governor, J. Sterling Morton; Lieuten ant Governor, Samuel N.

Pieski; First District, Albert Watkins; Second District, Edgar Howard; Third District. George H. Thomas; Fourth District. R. E. Dumpby; Eifth, District, Albert Gordon; Sixth District, T. V. Golden. As will be noticed above, our own Tom Golden was chosen as one of the presidential electors. Of course Tom will not be called upon to vote for the next president, but at the same lime it is an honor to be thus recognized and we take occasion to congratulate. Card of Thanks. We desire to extend our sincere thanks to all the kind friends who sympathized with and assisted ub during the illness and at the death of Mrs. McGreevy. B. McGreevy and Famu.y. Mrs. B. Muluoy. Miss.

I have pur chased some very nice fall jackets which I will sell at prices that will suit you. Call and examine my stock and you will be convinced. Yours truly, P. J. McManus. Sick-Headache? Beechnut's pills will relieve. We Are Not Bluffing. It is an easy matter for any merchant to claim he is selling goods cheaper than anybody and nine out of ten claim it whether it is so or not. Common sense teaches anyone that the more goods a man buys the cheaper he can buy them, and the cheaper he buys- the cheaf er be can sell and the cheaper he sells the more he sells. Never since we started in business In O’Neill have we had a larger of better stock than this fall and we know we own our goods as cheap as any firm in the state, and are determined to sell them at prices that will astonish the county. We do not believe it pays to buy or sell poor, trashy goods even if they are cheap and our business to-day after eight years trial proves that the trade has confidence in our goods and prices and if we have given satisfaction in the past we will more than please you in the future as we will spare no pains or ex pense to get your business. Our dress goods and trimmings arc particularly attractive this season and you can not find a better selection this side of Omaha AND THE PRICES ARE RIGHT. In clothing we will show many of the best styles ever mado in ready made clothing equal to half the tailor made clothing and much cheaper Cloaks, cloaks, cloaks! You ought to see our beautiful new styles and our immense assortment. They will all be here about the time our new salesroom is finished and you can expect something extra in assortment and prices. Don’t invest a dollar in fall goods untii you have seen our stock. Yours truly, J. P. Mann. When wanting anything in the well or pump line, see R. U. Mills O’Neill, Nebraska. _ 8-2m .

Whereas; In the opinion of the major ity of the supervisors comprising the county board of . Holt county that the existing securities on the oRlcial bond of Barrett Scott, county treasurer of Holt county,, has become insufficient, there fore, be it Resolved, That said Barrett Scott, treasurer of Holt county, be and he here by is required to furnish additional freehold security for the better protec tion of the tax papers of said county; That a copy be served on said Barrett Some people may have beon led to suppose that the persecution of Scottio had ocased and that the alliance fossils had again become Bane and were pa tiently awaiting the decision of the supreme court on their previous attempt at ouster, but such is not the case. They are as crazy as ever. Ever since Judge Barto sat down on them they have been snapping aud snarling like so many lean and hungry wolves at bay. They have watched every move made by the treas urer hoping to find some excuse for an attack, but there being nothing in sight have attacked his bond, the best, or as good, as any ever filed in the county. And a great deal better than the one they approved for R. J. Hayes, for the same office, last spring. The treasurer of Holt county is compelled to give a larger bond than any other in the state, not even excepting the state tieas urer or the United States treasurer. But Mr. Scott is not disposed to kick about a little thing like that bo he se cured the signatures of two more re sponsible men on his bond and awaited results. The board convened Tuesday and again took the matter up and were not satisfied with the “additional” se curity, so introduced the following reso lution, which was carried by the faith ful eighteen, this morning: Mu. Chairman—1 move you that the the office of county treasurer of Holt county, Nebraska, be considered vacant and the same hereby is considered, de clared and decreed vacant, For the reason that Barrett Scott, countv treas urer of Holt county, Nebraska, has “willfully” and “negigenlly” failed and refused and still fails to furnish suffi cient freehold security to the county for the faithful performance of his official duties and the safe keeping of the connty money and that Barrett Scott has so failed to furnish such security for a period of more than ten days subse quent to the service of a notice by the county board on him the said county treasurer to furnish sufficient freehold security, C. M. Smith. The above motion, although made by Smith, was written by the alliance can didate for county attorne y, H. E. Murphy, and therefore it is not our in tention to remark on the manner in which he spells negligently—‘negigenlly” —or to take notice of the additional “1” in welfare and numerous other defects. Following this motion of ouster comes one from T. V. Golden, which reads this way: I move you that Rody J. Hayes be appointed to fill the vacancy now exist ing m the office of county treasurer of Holt county, Nebraska, made vacant by the removal of Barrett Scott. Said ap pointment to take effect upon the said appointee taking the oath of office as required by law, and the furnishing of a good and sufficient bond in the sum of $200,000 and having the same approved bv this board. Now, honest, impartial and fair minded reader,is not this a pretty state of affairs? Is it not rank injustice and of the worst stripe of political persecu tion? These supervisors are not afraid that the county’s money will be squan dered, because these same supervisors have appropriated so much of it for their own salaries that the remainder is insignificant, but they do not like Scott and are determined to have the office. They are not afraid of the bond because the one they approved for Hayes last spring was not nearly as good as the one Scott has at present. It is a sad commentary indeed on our present laws that a body of political parasites can put all honest officials to so much trouble and expense. The idea of a man in free America being obliged to keep the in ner doors of his office locked in order to keep out political thunder-hunting hyenas who would steal it in the name of the law. We never have, in the course of our newspaper experience, felt more like using harsh language than we do today, but we will only ex claim, as exclaimed Marie Antoinette on the block, ‘‘Oh liberty! what crimes are committed in thy . name!" In Holt county it would be; more appropriate to say, Oh law! what damnable outrages are attempted in thy name! | In accordance with the resolution published above, Hayes rustled around this morning and socurod Ills bond which was approved after dinner, nnd Mr. Ilayes went down into the coveted offleo and demanded possession of same, but Mr. Scott informed him that ho liked the place pretty well and thought he would hold the Job. Wo suppose this means another mandamus case. The bond is not worth over $10,000 at the outddo. In striking contrast with this is the bond of Scott. Six of his bondsmen living in O’Noill justified this morning at $88,000, and one man who is on the bond nnd justified two yenrs ago at 180,000 was not in the city. Scott’s bond has about twenty signers and will Justify at about $400,000. There is one man on Scott's bond that Is worth more Ilian all of those on Hayes' bond. Oh, roll "Keep oft the grass.'' Democratic County Convention. FORENOON. The democrats oj Holt county met In sounty convention on Saturday lust. Called to order by Chairman Doyle, who took occasion to make a ringing ipeech for true democracy, with no fusion under nny circumstances. M. D. Long was elected temporary chairman and C. C.

Committee on credentials made its report which was adopted. The committee also presented creden ials from Sheredian and Dustin request ng parties living outside to cast their rotes. Quite a discussion ensued,which Inally resulted in a ballot and adversely. The report of the committee on per nanent organization recommended that .he temporary be made permanent. Vdopted. Resolutions committee reported the following: Whereas, the histoiy of our country ihows the fact that the democratic party las ever been the champion of good government, opposed to all legislation in favor of classes as against the mosses, opposed to all unnecessary taxes levied silher for the support of the government ir for so-called "protection,” in favor of i simple, economical and honest admin istration of government national, state rod municipal, therefore, be it Resolved, That we. the democrats af Holt county, in convention assem bled, promise adherence to democratic principles, democratic candidates and the democratic party. We admire the stand taken by many of the members of the republican party in breaking away from that party,which is the evowed champion of excessive taxation, class legislation and the fos terer of trusts and combinations intend ed as the enslaver of the producing classes of our people, but we earnestly admonish them that the democratic party, with its unsullied record and bright promises for the futnre, is open to all honest men of this tax ridden country. The democratic party has in its national convention made its prom ises and its record is proof positive that those promises will be fulfilled. In addition to the national platform which we indorse and approve, we fur ther resolve that we indorse the incom parable administration of Grover Cleve land and his worthy lieutenants from 1885 to 1888, the honest and wise admin istration of Gov. James E. Boyd and our own and only democratic Nebraska con gressman W. J. Bryan. Resolved, That we are in favor of state control of transportation charges on the railway system within the limits of Ne braska, to the end that shippers shall not be subject to the avaricious demands of railroad corporations. We are opposed to the bringing into any state of a lawless band of Pinkertons to suppress the mechanics and laboring men of our country in their efforts to secure a fair proportion of the products of their labor. O. C. Bates. M. P. Habrinuton. T. V. Golden. C. C. McHuon. M. W. Richardson. Mr. Bates offered the following reso lution and moved its adoption: Resolved, That radical reform should enter into the administration of county affairs, in contradistinction to the ex travagance that has heretofore obtained under republican and independent par tisan rule, which in the past and the present is making the expenditures of the county too grevious to be longer silently tolerated. T. V. Golden moved to lay the reso lution on the table. Chair declared the motion lost. Division called for. Roll called, resulting in tabling the resolu tion. By motion the nomination of two candidates for representatives was pr o ceeded with. The rules were suspended and Levi Van Valkenburg and S. Doud were chosen by acclamation as candidates for representatives. T. V. Golden was suggosted as a can dlvlnte for county attorney, but be posi tively refused the use of his name.
