CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
Thu Bolt county republican ccntri'l
committee is licreby called to meet in
O’Neill on Saturday, July lil, 1895, for
the purpose of fixing a (late for the
county convention and the transaction
of such other business as may properly
come before the meeting.
Nun. Brennan, Chairman,
Ci.ydk Kino, Secretary.
Bili.y Bryan is u firm believer in the
silver service rules.

Turkic is a large number of votes in

It is said that the Corbett-Fitzsim

Texas than silver.
It is no exaggeration to assert that
Mr. Cleveland is now in a state of ex
pectation and doubt.
Wasn’t that Cleveland convention a
corker? The republican national
league was never in better form.
Many men are wasting heat in politi

Tub extension of the civil service
rules to the employes of the government
printing office was a vietory for the

Pbuuaps the revival of old family
feuds is merely an attempt of the Ken
tucky democrats to distract public at
tention from the gaping silver chasm.
No, Vice-president Stevenson hasn't
goue to Cuba to help the revolutionists.
He has only gone into hiding to escape
committing himself on the silver
question.
Tits Nicaraguans think the British
are bamboozling Ambassador Bayard as
to their intentions in Central America.
People in this country have known it
for some time.
Bishop Nkwman’s practice of writing
down at night everything said to him
during the day, would never do tor a
newspaper man: he meets too many
people who talk without saying any
thing. <
A orkat many women have found
the adoption of a newspaper career but
a step on the way to witehood, and as
their husbands are mostly newspaper
men It would seem that they are feared
as rivals.
Him. is very likely to work himself
to death trying to carry New York, in
order that Bill Whitney may get the
democratic presidential nomination!
Davey is full of tricks but that is not
one of them.
ll.\i.i.o there! the other day Henry
Watterson was claiming to be entirely
out of Kentucky politics; now he is
claiming that "me and Carlisle” made
the administration victory—which is
expected but not won—over the free
silver democrats possible.
Oov. Morton, being a sort of canal
opener htmaelf, did not see why the
emporer of Germany should be allowed
to monopolize the business, when the
Harlem ship canal was all ready for
opening. The Baltic and North Sea
canal may be more important in some
respects, but the Harlem canal will not
take second place as an enthusiasm
maker.
A prophet is not without honor save
in his own country. A gentleman liv
ing in the far east wrote us last week
concerning his large real estate holdings
in this part of the state, and supple
mented the business part of his letter
with the following: “1 apply to you
for the reason that I admire the brave
fight you have made and are still mak
ing in the cause of both moral and po
litical integrity, in the midst of the pre
vailing unprincipled and corrupt in
fluences which surround you. Your
course has been such that I feel that
your recommendation may bo relied
upon.” A disinterested opinion is
always the safest, and this is but one of
many The Frontier has received dur
ing the past year.
Monday’s school meeting was a de
served and stinging rebuke to the mem
bers of the school board who have per
sisted in running things to suit them
selves regardless of protests from the
people who placed them in power. Last
V year's agitation is bearing fruit, and the
people propose to keep up the interest
until a board is elected that will per
form its duty without fear or favor,
more particularly without favor. The
action of the old board in employing
teachers is severely censured by many.
While the state superintendent says re
tiring boards may employ teachers
where such action is to the interests of
the .schools, his ruling certainly cannot
be interpreted to cover conditions ex
isting in this district.
RUMORS OF DIVISION.
A number of O'Neill citizens met iu
11. It. Dickson’s office last Sunday after
noon for tlio purpose of talking over
the question of county division. The
conclave was for the purpose of ascci
talning if conflicting interests could not
in some manner be satisfied and a divis
ion made that would be just ana equita
ble. After much discussion it was con
cluded that it would be impossible to
decide upon lines that would be satis
factory all arouud, anj that the only
thing left for O’Neill to do was to look
out for herself. A resolution was
therefore adopted which makes a tie-up
between O’Neill, Stuart and Chambers,
with lines ns follows:
•Stuart^^
•Atkinson.
•O'Neill.
1 Ewing.*
True Frontier is not favorably Im
pressed with these lines: a respectable
per cent, of the voters of O’Neill will
not vote for that division: there is
nothing reasonable in them nor any
logical argument that can be advanced
in support of them. We see nothing
hut defeat and disaster should the
question go to a vote in this shape. In
support of our views we have some fig
ures and we ask the reader to sit down
for a moment while we reason together.
We will approximate the strength of
the different townships and guess with
Borne degree of accuracy how their
votes would be cast on the proposition.
We will give the townships that would
naturally oppose the plan:
Products. Votes.

Kwlng.157

Ploasuntview. 38
Total.1481
Now these figures of course are not
absolutely reliable, but they are of suffi
cient importance to indicate that the
above lines cannot be carried. Some
people may wonder at the way we have
arranged the townships on this question
but if they will meditate for a moment
they will perceive an obvious reason.
While the above total would indicate
the defeat of division this year, should
the plan be submitted, it does not nec
essarily follow that that is what O’Neill
wants. O’Neill wants the question set
tled once for all.
Now Atkinson, Ewing and Amelia
have a plan that has even less to rec
ommend it than has the O’Neill-Stuart
combine. They want a division as in
dicated in the following diagram:
We do not believe It can be successful
and submit the following figures in sup
port of our belief, believing the town
ships named will oppose the plan:
Precincts. Votes.
O'Neill.300

Wlllowdale. 37

Cleveland. 42
Stuart.225
Dustin. 27
Green Valley. 6«
Chambers. 10S
Shields... . S3
Inman. 9it
Total.1394
This is proof conclusive enough for
us that the proposition of Atkinson and
Ewing will fail to carry. There is but
one logical division and it should be
submitted if the question is to be voted
upon at all, and that is to draw a line
north aud south through Emmet town
ship and have bat two counties. Refer
ence to the location and strength of the
townships enumerated above should
satisfy anyone that the county can be
divided upon that line. Atkinson aud
her territory would support it, O’Neill
and her territory would support it, and
in fact the whole northeast country
would give it a good vote and the fight
would be ended.
1 The Frontier is for O'Neill’s inter
ests and for that reason is ''ferninst” a
tie-up that cannot win. The way to
settle this question is for O’Neill and
Atkinson to join issues and make two
counties. It’s a winner and the only
division that can be made.
