COMMITTEE MEETING. The republican central committee la hereby called to meet in the republican club rooms at O'Neill, Neb-, Saturday, ; September 0, 1808, (or the purpose of fixing a date for the holding of a republican convention and to transact any other business that may properly ^ cpme before said meeting. G. C. HAr.Kt.BT, Chairman. "There's a name that’s never spok % en"—Rhody Hayes. *7 "Lkt the platform go” may soon be 1 come a popular cry with democrats who fear free trade. Thb independents certainly owed the treasurersblp to Rhody Ilayee. They have ussd him as at catspaw. Tub Frontier desires to deny thst it ever threw a vile "asperatlon” at any one, Mr. Kautzman not excepted. For once the prophets all gusBcd right as to the action of the house; but circumstances made It a mighty easy guess. _ _ _ Wonder what foreign financiers think of that little shipment of 810,000, 000 ip gold from San Francisco to New York? Senator Hill may find Jones; he edits the world, a harder man to dis pose of than Jones; he pays the freight, proved to be. Several independent aspirants are sulking in their tents since they have learned that even a populist convention may be ungrateful. Senator Hill’s speech stated his position on the financial question much plainer than Mr. Cleveland did in his message to congress. --! Thu independents shelved a promis ing and popular candidate when they refused to recognise Conrad Grebe's claim on the sheriff plum. I M. F. Harrington is a politician. A man who can so adroitly pull the fleece over the eyes of the rural delegates is nothing if not a politician. fIr It is true that Rautzman is an A. P. ; A., as intimated by the Graphic, how can he support Idol Mullen? Will he conveniently forget his oath? Indications point to some lively con gressional music on the suspension of pensions In the near future, and all of it will not be made by republicans either. Senator Morgan says he does not believe the' financial distress'is real. | Evidently the senator has not tried to borrow money on his note since bis return from Europe. Can’t somebody persuade the New York anarchists to get in the way of ; that predicted tidal wave? Perhaps a . few kegs of beer judiciously placed would do the business. Gov. Boise would better have stood by his first announcement. With de - feat will come loss of prestige and the end of his political career; and defeat will certainly come this year. j'' For the fourth time in as many years has the statue of independent idolatry been unveiled to the people of Holt county. The independents resemble the Chinese in their joss worship. Credit for truthfulness, if not for ; courage, is due the democratic con* gressman who publicly acknowledge that Grover Cleveland’s will is the only party platform they recognize. Sbxatobs Hill ud Vorhees can - hardly be classed m administration senators, although they are aiding the 'administration to bring about the repeal of the purchasing clause of the silver I;; lew. _ _ Rhodt Hins must have been prom ised a deputyship. It was his intention to ask the independents for the treasur ' ershlp but his name was not mentioned. Harrington had not written it on the slate. Ex-Cosgbxssman Howk of Michigan was wise when he chose the title of his ' latest lecture—“The Nation’s Bread and Batter.” The nation’s bread and butter is at this time a very lively and timely topic. Huhtuo lawyers is an old Kentucky sport that has lately been revived. There is a difference of opinion as to whether buckshot or 44 calibre cart , ridses make the best amunition. Both have made records. Passion Commissioner Locuben has a temper that he ought to be as much ashamed of as he should be of his treat ment of some of his old comrades. The man who could write such a fetter as that sent by Lochren to Congressman Morse, of Massachusetts, is not fit to b4 at the hssd of the pension office. \&.W: 7; ; y V ..'V\ " ( ■ - > y-.y.y--> “v'i ;!- '. 7 :;•. y Ciievk Hazei.kt has called Ibe repuh licau central cominittcc to meet at the republican club rooms in O'Neill on Beptember 0. The date (or bolding the county convention will be fixed at that time. Wait for it. 'f Tiiiuck bankers from O’Neill alorie went as delegates to the independent convention last Friday. “Down with the 2 per centers!” How that old familiar calamity cry rises up to whisper consistency and koncstv of purpose. “A Thus Rbfqiimeii,” writing from Sand Creek, occupies a little ot Tiib Fiiontikh’s space this week with a pointed communication. The ideas expressed by him are entertained by numerous independents throughout the county. "Pjuvate” John Allen, the Missis sippi congressman, has an idea, or pre tends to have, that there ' > f . - ', •* ■ ■, -f , i ’• ' , ” • •'.A'-- : Hasn’t cxpenencc, both locally and generally, proven that tho law compell ing treasurers to deposit the public funds in the banka, is an unfair measure? When it was passed by an independent legislature did its cbnmpions have the interests of tho dear farmers at heart? What justice is there in taking the peo ple's money and loaning it to banks at 5 per cent, and then when the farmer comes to pay bis taxes compel him to borrow the same money from the banks and pay them 2 per cent.? Is this re from? Is this legislation by the peo ple and for the people? Last week’s Sun devotes two columns of rank abuse to M- D. Long, chairman of the democratic central committee, be cause he sr.w fit to publish his central committee meeting call in The Fron tier. We presume Mr. Long desired the people to see the notice and for that reason published it in a paper that cir culates largely among the people, and the only matter of surprise to us is that he published in the Sun, whose editor is even now more independent than democrat. Another thorn in McHugh's side is the fact that Mr. Long gets his job work done at The Frontier’s job rooms. This is easily explained: he knows where to get good work. Ik Mr. Long is deserving of so much abuse for publishing a democratic call in the republican Frontier, will the Sun man please rise on his bind legs once more and tell us what he thinks of one of those ‘‘good democrats,” (who is even now aspiring .to a position In the O’Neill land office,) holding stock in the Holt County Independent? The Inde pendent, Charles, which speaks of Grover as a “pot-bellied servant, ofv Shy lock?” If Long is deserving of cen sure for publishing bis call in Tuk -Frontier, -what in the name of politics is a “good” democrat deserving of? Great way to support a democratic paper by buying stock in the Independ ent. Eh, Charles. “Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.” No one in political life has cause to more deeply feel the true import of the poet’s words than County Judge Bowen. The first independent to carry the populist gonfalon through a heatsd campaign and finally successfully and triumphant ly plant it upon the ramprrts of the enemy’s stronghold. Elected when the boasted leaders of his party were igno miniously defeated, only to be shelved by a stated combination when he was getting in shape to enjoy the experience and renumeration earned in his official capasity. Mr. Bowen, although an in dependent, has proven himself an hon orable man and a conscientious judge. Mistakes that he has made have been of the head and not of the heart and he certainly was not deserving of the shabby trick imposed him upon by his convention last Friday. Last week we promised an article on the Independent’s denial of our charge that the supervisor system is more ex pensive than that of the commissioner, but upon a more careful perusal of his article we find that he does not dispute our figures. He simply seeks to divide the county and township taxes and charge only the county levy to the supervisor system, but that will hardly be accepted as a refutation of out statement. We have never charged the supervisors with all this expense, but rather the system which gives us tbe supervisors. The system which’ com pels townships to levey in the aggre gate from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars annually, with few visible im provements in the townships, is a bur den, and the tax is no less a tax because it is levied by .the people themselves. The county levy is as high today as ii was eight years ago, notwithstanding we have an increased valuation of ovei $3,000,000. AN INDEPENDENT PROTEST. Sand Creek, Neb., Sept. 3,1803. Editors Frontier—I wish to expresi my emphatic protest against the meth ods used at the late independent con vention at O’Neill. 1 am an independ ent in the sincere meaning of the Word, and according to the rules and customi of the organization, but I am opposed tc cut and dried action on the part of inde pendent leaders and a gang of O’Neil ucuiuti aia nucicujf ouiuc ui uui uuo friends were slaughtered and a rinj ticket—in part—sprung on the con vention with printed ballots preparec before hand. In my view an independent conven tion should be controlled by those wh< believe and practice its principle* am not by democrat*, republican* or *choo kid* the latter of which disturbed tin good order of tho meeting by leavini their seats to meddle with older members The like didn’t happen at Atkinson twc years ago. I want it known to al parties that we are down on schemiuf before hand, and as a political party, ar< unjustly held responsible for the acts o: individual members in listening to dem ocrats, and pestered by kids workini for deputy and clerkships. ' When did McCutcheon and Jim Har rington join the independents? Or tb< majority of the O’Neill delegation foi that matter? That delegation and t large part of the convention was delib eratly put up and packed' to beat Betbet for treasurer, and to slaughter hones' Judge Bowen fdr a republican whc intended to leave tb^ county. Thest are cold facts. Bethea was nominated on a democratic lie. too, for he did noi accept until long after he beat Norval, This is a poor record, to be dictated tc by bankers, bank directors, democrats, lawyers and limber legged kids. Nc wonder people want county division. Bespectfully, A Truk Reformer. Hood’s Cures Hlaa Edna Kyle Chamberlain, South Dakota.
