STATE CONVENTIONS.
Republican state convention, Omaha, Aug
ust 22.
Independent stuto convention, Grand
Inland, August 15.
SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
The republican electors of the Thirteenth
senatorial district are requested to send
delegates from tholr several counties to
meet In convention at O’Neill, Nob., on the
1st day of September, ISM, at 2 p. m. tor the
purpose of placing in nomination a candidate
for senator from said district, und for the
transaction of such other buslnoss as may
come before the convention.
The several counties are entitled to rep
resentation os follows, being based upon tne
vote cast for Benjamin Harrison for pres
ident In 1MB:
It Is recommendod that no proxies be ad
mitted to the convention and that the absent
votes of a county bo cast by the delegates
present Gltdb Kino,
Secretary,
Jaxb Roll ought to defeat Henry
Murphy for county attorney.
Wirn hla full party vote behind him
W. 8. Griffith can lay out cold that India
rubber Robertson.
Trom. has sold his Democrat. He
probably did not like the idea of de
fending himself through the campaign.
“When Robertson got up to address
the convention I saw that we had played
h—1,” said an independent delegate to a
Frontier reporter.
Rovertson for representative! Holy
smoke, wouldn’t that almost kill you?
Clay-brained Idiots and bladders full of
putty seem to be in great demand among
populists.
Ir Ewing and Atkinson will give W.
8. Griffith a full republican vote he will
, defeat that man Robertson for repre
sentative. Now if the republicans of
those two townships desire to "make
sure of one republican representative,"
as the Graphic says, here is a chance.
“Restricting immigration" does not
mean that honest people of the nations
across the water are to be prohibited
from coming. It is the paupers, the
anarchists, the riff-raff and rabble that
the nations of the east are driving out
that Uncle Sam doesn’t want to come In.
It is a mystery why the independents
nominated Robertson over such men as
Bob Gallagher, Pete Donohoe, Cord
Smith, L. A. Combs, John Crawford
and A. Vognt. The survival of the
Attest is not a populist maxim. The
more ignorant a man is and the less
principle he has the more these peps
seem to think of him.
The Graphic should make a slight
effort to confine its remarks to facts
before the Jury. The Frontier did not
say that <30 republicans in O'Neill
would cut Trommershausser and the
Graphic is pefectly aware of that fact,
and its effort to contort the statement
is nothing but detestable pettifogging
and unscrupulous journalism. There are
leas than 400 yotes in O'Neill. .
Who will vote for the ditch? Every
laboring man for he will get work;
every hard-up farmer for the same
reason; every land owner for it will in
crease the value of land all over the
county; everyone in the towns for it
will double their population in three
years; every tradesman for it will give
him work; every speculator for things
will boom; every merchant for people
will have money to spend; every preach
er for congregations will double; every
teacher for scholars will multiply and
pay will be prompt Who will not vote
for the ditch? Every kicker and he will
be as lonesome as the man in the moon;
every one who is mean enough to bite
his nose off to spite his lace. One thing
to be remembered is that irrigation
north of the Elkhorn will doubtless
double the volume of the Elkhorn and
thus benefit a large body of land south
of the ditch.
W ' Thi ticket placed is the field laat
' Saturday by the independenta ia the
weakeat that the organisation haa ever
presented to the people. Henry
5 Murphy for county attorney ia what we
. expected. He is the strongest man on
E the ticket. But there are Q. F. Smith
V and A. J. Robertson for representatives.
V. Smith ia the man who went down two
years ago with a pocket fuU of hills
; " \ that he intended to have made into laws
I"tff’X hot he never arose to the surface and
’( came home only to explain his votes on
•**« People’* hills. But that man
Robertson I A stick and a nonentity.
Wuf A tool and a pliant one at that. A
■ string to Harrington’s bow. that’s all. If
* the republican divisionists of Atkinson
:;v. . and Ewing will drop their fusion ideas
re 'V . VV and get together on the republican plat
V Iona and work for the election of the
republican nominees aome of them will
\. ■ >surely be elected.
- ;; ( - r ■;.' ; ' . v
Bomb parties have been figuring on
tbe probable condition of affairs after
bonds shall have bean voted for irriga
tion purposes and, have adduced this
argument relative to taxable property
not lying contiguous to the canal. We
gladly give it space: "It is claimed by
some people whose land will not be
under the ditch and who will not receive
any direct benefit therefrom in the shape
of water placed upon their land, that it
would he an Imposition to require them
w vine a mx upon tnemseivcs ror 1 lie
benefit of those upon whose land Hie
water is pinned. A little computation
■bows thin to lie nn error. For the pur
pose of this computation It is assumed
that the amount necessary to be raised
for the running expenses of the county
is approximately #108,000; that the
present valuation for the purposes of
taxation is about #8,700,000. From this
It will be seen that at present
to raise the necessary fund a tax of 4
per cent, on the present assessed valua
tion must be levied. The assessed
valuation of land in Holt county is at
present about $3 per acre and the market
value is about 810 per ncre. In other
words the assessed valuation of land in
Uolt county is about one-fifth of the
market valuation. By irrigation the
market valuation of the land under
water will be raised to say #40 per acie,
in which case, on the same basis of val
uation as at present, the assessed valua
tion for purposes or taxation will be $8
per acre for the land irrigated. The
proposition is to water at least 100,000
seres, which would increase the assessed
valuation of the county from 83,700,000
to 83,500,000; at which valuation it will
require a levy of about 8 per cent, to
raise the required 8108,000 in taxes. The
Jonds will require $15,000 each year to
raise money to pay the interest on the
ronds and provide a proper sinking
fund, which 815,000 will require an
added levy of about 44 mills. Now a
nan living off of the ditch and his land
receiving no direct benefit at all, where
ais land is valued for taxable purposes
st 81,500 he will be required to pay an
nually $00 taxes, or 4 per cent, of his as
sessed valuation. After irrigation has
raised the valuation as before stated, he
will be required to pay on his assessed
valuation of 81,500, 8 instead of 4 per
sent., because his valuation will not be
increased, he not receiving water on his
land. 8 per cent, on #1,500 will be 845
which he will have to pay for general
purposes, to which must be added the
Ijond tax on his property amounting to
&0.75, making a total tax after irrigation
af 851.75 as against 860 before irrigation,
rkis is an illustration, the amount of
the tax levied being arbitrarily assumed,
aot being known."
The Graphic editor last week picked
ap a discarded cady in some back alley
ind proceeded to talk through it until
lie wore out the holes and the brim fell
from mere exhaustion. The Graphic
does not like the view this paper takes
pf the late republican convention, and
we are not surprised at that. A column
waa devoted to us but about all there
was in it was this:
The heading of our article was stereo
typed.
’Twould be no bad thing were the
Graphic editor’s head stereotyped—a
solid babbitt head is surely preferable
to a gourd of mush, and from such the
Graphic's reasoning seems to emenate.
The Frontibb is ‘at’ any place where
two votes are equal to three. It will
deliberately surrender its political or
partisan convictions to substantiate that
most vicious of all damnable vicious
legislation, the three-fifths law.
Oh! ohl At this point the editor’s
volume of misrepresentation became too
much for the hat and another hole was
punched. If the editor of the Graphic
or anyone else will kindly refer to the
files of this paper published at about the
time that “non-partisan” convention
was called they will there discover that
we most emphatically urged the republi
cans to adopt a repeal plank when the
convention should convene. That being
the case wo fail to see where the Graphic
makes a point by deliberately misrepre
senting our position on this question.
It has not the courege to openly op
pose the ticket or the manhood to man
fully support it.
Thb Frontier has the courage to say
exactly what it thinks of a gang of so
called republicans who will go into a
convention where two representatives
are to be nominated and refuse to assist
in the nomination of but one so that
they will be under no obligations to the
other. We do not kick on the person
nel of the ticket. We kick on the
manner of doing business. We kick that
men from Ewing and Atkinson should
go into an independent convention and
pledge their support to a democrat,
knowing that they would have to cut
some good republican in order to keep
their promises.. This is why we kick.
Our republicanism is at par today
with the rank and file of the party, who
look with horror and dUgust upon' the
action of a few mullet heads and pea
nut politicians who called the non
partisan convention and then forced the
fetus down the throat of a convention
that should have been republican.
It makes us smile to hear a non
partisan conventioner talk about his
fidelity to party. They are the people
who have gotten the party into this
muddle right in the heat of a
partisan campaign and spotted all
chances for success.

IS IT NECESSARY?
Below we publish a leter received this
week from Custer county:
Gali.awAY, Ntkb., Aug. 8, 1894.
To the Editors: To avert the calamity
impending over large portions of Ne
braska through unexampled drought,
and consequent failure of crops, It is
urgently requested that you impress
upon your readers the desirability of at
once petitioning the governor of this
state to convene an extra session of the
legislature for the purpose of discussing
the situation and devising means to
minimize the approaching calamity and
to avert famine.
Unless something be devised to enable
the farmers to remain on their farms,
large tracts of country, especially in the
newly settled pertions, will be virtually
abandoned and unexampled privation
and suffering insue. An exodus has
already begun which, unless checked by
a prospect of relief, will throw the
"commonweal” movement into the
shade, endanger existing institutions
and set back the clock of western pro
gress for years. Titos. Norbury.
Trtrc Frontier does not feel at this
time like urging the governor to call a
special session of the legislature to
make an appropriation for aid so far as
this county is concerned, although it is,
we believe, conservatively estimated
that it will require about $80,000 or $90,
OOO for the relief of the unfortunate in
this county, but we hope soon to build
an irrigation canal across our county
which will furnish work for nearly
every man that wants it. The canal as
now proposed will necessitate the ex
penditure of oyer a million dollars in
the county and will, our people hope,
avert the necessity of asking state aid.
However, this is a question that demands
consideration and we would be pleased
to publish short communications from
our readers upon the subject.
