CoNORxaakAN, soon to bo ex-Con
gresaman Bynum, aays It waa because of
dissatisfaction in the minds of the voters,
which ia correct; but he forgot to add
that the dissatisfaction waa caused by
dsmooratlo stupidity. Perhaps he
thought that too well understood to need
mentioning.
To Gaft. Dorrinoton, of Alliance,
Burley Hill, of the Chailron Cltlsen, Col.
Ketohum, of the Crawford Tribune and
their colleague* In perfidy in the Broken
Bow republican congree*ional conven
tion may aafely be aacrlbed the dlthonor
thie dlatriot now bears by being repre
tented by omermkem. While we have
none but the kindliest feelings for Mr.
Daugherty, wc still insist that had these
gentlemen stood true to their constitu
cute—the men who sent them to the
convention—Hon. M. P. Kinkaid would
have been nominated and elected. They
played false to the delegate conventions
and the wishes of their people and now
they have their reward. Kinkali would
have been a winner and should have had
the nomination.
PBvrrt once In a while a republican
anarchist t says Holcomb will not be
allowed to govern Nebraska—that he
wont be seated. Now there are about
98,000 men who voted for htm that say
he will govern Nebraska, even If It
require* turning the B. and M. railroad
upeid* down, and puncturing the hides
of the anarchists who would attempt to
thwart the constitutional rights of the
aoverlgn people.—Beacon Light.
Such talk as the above is worse than
foolish. ^ It Holcomb's election is con
tested and upon a recount It is found
that he was not fairly and honestly
elected, then he will not be seated and
there will be no turning "upside down”
of railroads or "puncturing of hides.”
While it may be true that 96,000 men
voted for Holcomb, It is also equally
true that they are not alt of the
fire-brand clan of the author of the
above. There are not 96,000 men in the
state of Nebraska who are ripe for
anarchy, treason and spoils.
Tn Hemingford Guide seems to think
that Mat Daugherty failed to receive due
consideration at the hands of Holt
county republicans. We would like to
know what that Hemingford man wants
anyway. Daugherty received in Holt
county MS votes as against 970 cast for
Majors—and Majors is no criterion as
there were some 86,000 more votes cast
for candidates for that office than for
any other in the state. Daugherty ran
ahead of Trommeishausser, candidate
for the legislature and nominee of two
conventions; he ran ahead of Griffith,
candidate for the legislature; he ran
ahead of Roll, candidate for county
attorney; he ran ahead of Majors in
every ward in O’Neill; he received more
votes in the county than any man on the
state ticket with the exception of Majors
and Bartley, the latter gaining in his
home, Atkinson. All this shows conclus
ively that a special effort was made for
Daugherty in this county and if he is
not satisfied with the hard work done
for him it would be a relief if he would
any so. It always does os great good to
learn who la grateful and who ungrate
ful.
Mat Dacorety, defeated republican
candidate for congress in this district,
lias died notice that be will contest
Kcm's scat in tbe bouse. The Frontier
desires to frown ominously upon this
proceeding. ICem was elected this fall
as fairly as he was two years ago and
there is no power divine or human that
can he invoked to repair tbe damage
done if he is counted out, summarily
ousted by a republican house when
there is no evidence of premeditated
fraud in tbe election. Tns Frontier
knows that Kem is of no earthly value
to this district, but then be was elected
and la entitled to bis seat beeausc be
represents a majority of the voter* of
tbe district and in free America tbe
voice of tbe people should always be the
voice of Qod, although we weep that it
is not so. Do unto others as you would
that others should do unto you, or in
other words be reasonably fair in poli
tics. iiave some little regard for major
ities where honorably obtained.
John J. McCaffeuty i«, a* a general
thing, a very versatile writer, and when
he writes it is usually in a nay that
pleases and educates his readers, but the
screed he scrawled in answer to an Invi
tation to be present at a meeting of the
I Omaha Business Men's Association—
published in the Smudge—was an ex
I caption to the rule and shows very
clearly that our esteemed friend John is
possessed of that Jewel, consistency, in
no greater degree than some ot the rest
of us. In the outset Mr. McCaflerty
refers to the members of the association
as "enthusiastic, worthy, but mistaken
gentlemen," and in the windup calls
them "a petty lot of puny, pigmy
tyrants, of conceited impotency, brass,
boodle and balderdash.” Barring the
natural pleasure ot spreading himself in
public print, which is present in all men
in a greater of less degree, we can find
no reasonable excuse for John’s tirade
against the Omaha business men. The
business men organized for mutual pro
tection; has not John done the same
thing? When our county was threat
ened with division did not our business
men organize to defeat it, and wasn’t
John a member ot that organization?
When a state is threatened with popu
lism and populism threatens business
interests isn't it natural and right that
business men should organize to defeat
it, just as business men in O'Neill do
when the county is threatened with
division and division threatens their
business interests? It would seem that
our friend John cannot establish the
line where his rights end and those of
others begin.
"And now a bubble burst and now a
world.” We see by numerous exchanges
and bear from various other undis*
puted authorities that the election is
over and the “smoke of battle cleared
away.” While it will be accepted as
truth so far as the first proposition is
concerned we desire to demur to the
latter. The smoke of battle has not
cleared away and we trust It may not
until tho populist majorities in this
county, senatorial and congressional
districts, may have been swipod into
oblivion. The returns from this county
are encouraging for republicanism; they
show large gains, gains that bode no
good to the populists who have blighted
the hope that springs eternal in the
human breast and makes life worth
living. Republicans should keep up
the good work and organize even now
for next year's campaign. The enemy is
on the run and all that remains to he
done is to follow them pell mell into
every canyon, nook and crevice of their
record of debauchery In county affairs
and do them up. They stand on slip
pery ground and a combined effort will
unhorse them. But to do all this re*
quires something more than inactivity,
or activity In a wrong direction. Men
must be nominated for office whose
records are as white, If not whiter, than
that of Caesar's wife, the convention
must not be Decked in the interests of
any office-seeker and every attention
must be paid to details. The proper
amount of consideration, wholesome
concessions and smooth political work
will redeem us. In the language of the
late lamented Bryan, “to your tents, oh,
Israeli”
One thing is a dead certainity, and
that is that Sample, or any other man,
who undertakes to make a campaign by
the use of whisky and such scandalous
political black-legs as edit Tubs Frontier
Graphic, Ledger and the Butte Oazette,
to defame, lie about and slander a hoary
headed old gentlemen like honest John
Crawford, can expect to get it square in
the neck. There never has been a cam
paign where these miscreants adhered to
the discussion of a political principle.—
Beacon Light.
No doubt our readers Imagine that it
is about time to drop the campaign and
pause in our wild career while the dead
past erects a monument to its dead, and
perhaps it is, but when some editorial
fool writes rot like the above we cannot
refrain - from calling him down. The
fact that the independents of this county
made their campaign with the liberal use
of both money and whisky is so widely
known that none but a chump would
arise to contradict it. Even Grand
mother Roberts admits that it may be
true and says the reason the pops violated
this plank of their Atkinson platform
was because so many men who were in
favor of using liquor in campaigns came
over from the other parties and Joined
them. Just read the plank in their plat
form, covering this quMtion, adopted
August IS, 1891:
Sixth —That we require our candidates
to conduct their campaign without the
use either of liquor or cigars for cam
paign purposes.
Wouldn’t those lines look nice neatly
written on each bottle in that grip full
of half-pints c that left Jim Connolly’s
saloon, in this city, the day before
election, for Deloit township in charge
of a man who earns his daily bread by
the sweat of bis brow as clerk in ono of
the county offices? And wouldn’t those
lines look nice neatly inscribed on those
5-gallon job lots of old rye that went out
into Shields township?
Frontibu flies are open.to inspection
and defy the Smudge or anyone else to
point to an article wherein we lied about
or slandered that hoary-headed old hon
est John. We confined ourselves closely
to his record as supervisor and as his
official acts are public property we have
no apologies to make to the old fossil,
ills election merely demonstrates the oft
expressed assertion that the pops could
elect a yellow dog if on their ticket.
