Irrigation carried with but few die
ranting vote*.
The nomination of Hamilton was a
basket of sour grapes for the Jew. We
• anticipate a case of appendicitis.
We suppose it will now be in order
1 for Charlie Hamilton to consult the
spooks and ascertain his chances for re
election. He might also frame and
hang upon the wall in hit( office that
wagon track which he found last winter
on the hanks of the Niobrara.
Jim Grbig can now take the mirror of
election returns and at his liesure figure
out pretty accurately what the people of
the Golden irrigation district think of
him. His was the only name printed
upon the ticket for the office of assessor,
yet Dr. White, of Bassett, was elected
by a rote of nearly four to one.
■ Tub pop irrigationisls were very
anxious that no polities should enter
t4 into the election of officers for the irri
f;!,* gation district, but at the same time
they were careful to see that none but
pops found a place on the ticket. The
. defeat of Greigwas the proper thing,
' 1 and ditto McGreevy. About every so
often it becomes necessary to remind
. some people that the earth and the full
~ ness thereof do not belong to them in
tee-simple.

Tntt Bun lrst week threw off its dem
ocratic lambskin and declared Itself a
pop wolf and a woolly one. For a long
time it floundered in the shallows be
tween the democratic free silver pond
and the populist quagmire and the peo
ple are greatly pleased that by one
swipe of its crocodile tail it has landed
Itself in the mud that after this fall will
be known as the Blough of despond.
This flop will add no new strength to
the populists, but has some significance
never the less. There is known to exist
a coldness between the sheriff and the
Jew and it is asserted that a tie-up has
been made between Hamilton and the
Sun whereby, in the event of Hamil
ton’s re-lection, the Sun will get the
patronage and the Jew will get—the
langh. This is about all there is in the
move. The pops know now that Tkb
Fbontieu has been telling them true
when it said that Kautzman was an in
jury to their party and they have won
the Sun over under promise of the
" legal printing, which will eventually
freeze out the man of many residences.

Thi present campaign open* up au
spiciously for republicans, and finds
them In the harness full of vigor and
good intentions. When the convention
meets next month a ticket can be
plnced in the field that will win. This is
a year when republicans must be repub
licans and remember that their first
great duty to their country, their fellow
citissens and themselves is to defeat the
populist aggregation of ringsters now
before the people. Men who would
like to hold olllce must control their de
sires, keep them within the bonuds of
reason and come only when they are
called by the wisdom of the convention.
What we mean is that this year in par
ticular no man should consider that he
has claims upon the party for anything.
Let the conyention look the field over
and select the best and most available
timber in the woods. Success should be
the first consideration and personal pref
erment have no seat in the convention.
Cincinnatuh Mui.i.kn is an oily gen
tleman: he is also an illiterate gentle
man, but he knows better than anyone
the kind of a talk that is most easily di
gested by an average pop gathering,
Tho speech he made last Saturday after
his nomination was disgusting to those
who can read him like an open book
and see the method in his great madness
for reform, but the faithful drank it all
down at a gulp and exclaimed “Great is
the Joss!" He actually made them be
lieve that his only aim and purpose in
life is to better their condition, and that
he draws his salary more from a sense
of duty than a desire to wax fat and
greasy upon the products of their
drouth-swept corn fields. But Mullen is
a smooth gentleman: it requires consid
erable tact to handle the populists of
Holt county year after year and always
keep the best job in sight. He is a
magnetic gentleman: he draws them to
him as the needle to the pole and while
they sometimes waver a little, when the
variation is taken into account it is
usually found that they are pointing in
the right direction. Borne day his hyp
notic influence over these people will
fag out and they will awake from their
dreams and see him as he is. They will
then realize that for all of their work,
their subserviency and howling for this
man they have nothing but a sore
throat to show for it. When that time
comes they will relieve him from his
onerous duties and send him back to his
plow, from whence they had no business
to take him in the first place.
THE CONVENTION.
The great'and only three-ringed pop
menagerie in the state of Nebraska
gave an entertainment at the pourt
house in this city last Saturday. J. P.
Mullen was ringmaster, while Hopkins,
Greig and Kautzmau played the clown
in their respective stations.
Early Friday evening the delegates
began to arrive, but they did not pre
cede the vultures that had scented fresh
blood and were on hand to secure a bite,
lick up the drippings or swallow the
core. Talk about wire-pulling and log
rolling! The old party politicians are
mere understudies. When these men,
who now claim to be reformers, left the
old parties and joined the pops they
simply went into a higher class and if we
may judge them by their works they are
surely entitled to be called professionals.
Men are no longer amateurs when they
contest for money- prizes and all of
these fellows are playing for the biggest
stakes in sight.
Even Friday night it was conceded
that the present incumbents would be
renominated, with the possible excep
tion of Sheriff Hamilton. Rumors had
been afloat for some time that he had
proven refractory on the hands of the
bosses and an attempt would be made to
place him out of condition to do harm.
During the evening several men were
mentioned as his successor, among them
being Jim Pinkerman, John Hopkins
and George Mullihan. MoselSlliott bad
already been elected treasurer of his
school district and of course could not
expect even a mention.
The office of clerk of the district
court also Came in for a share of the
idle discussiou. The Jew, Robertson,
Henry and Roberts were all chaffing at
the bit, and one man was mean enough
to say that Jim Mullen was currying a
cum-umcK siuou. lionertson is toe man
who tried to impeach Skirving, and
Henry ia the man appointed by the
board to till the vacancy, but it turned
out that the wave they danced on so
light in the morn left them at night on
the bleak shore alone. Skirving defeat
ed the ouster. Robertson thought lie
ought to have the nomination as a sort
of compensation for the terrible swear
ing be did in the case, while Henry had
an idea that it would make a first class
wash to remove from his mouth the
taste of the ashes of the dead sea fruit.
When the convention heard the evi
dence it gave the plum to Henry by
an unanimous vbte and the other candi
dates were left to suck their thumbs
while they nursed their sotrow.
The fight waged against Sheriff Ham
ilton bore out the prediction made by
The Frostier some time ago when it
said an attempt would be made to weed
him out like a Russian thistle. John
Hopkins was a strong candidate for the
place but the fact that he is president of
a vigilante outfit operated against him
and was worked by his enemies for all
it was worth. In so doing they showed
that with all their braggadocio they are
*.f" l. *.! ' f • -. .. - O"
’ ’ *• • v ••• ' 0 A .. ' ; ' Tv' *<■■« ■
afraid that the sympathy they have
shown for the vigilantes will bring them
no good luck at election.
When Marphy defeated Golden for
the judicial delegation the machine cer
tainly failed to perform its duty; a tire
was punctured. It was the intention of
the big chiefs to give the delegation to
Golden and they are yet trying to figure
out how it happened. But the end is
not yet: Golden is whipped but not sub
dued, and it is said that he will go into
the convention, fight to the last ditch
and die in blood up to the bridle-bits.
Take the ticket as a whole and it is
considerably weaker than it was two
years ago. Then, they were-without a
record and could—and did—promise
endless reforms that they afterwards
failed in every instance to inaugurate.
Their administration has been as costly
as others that preceded it: taxation has
not been reduced in accordance with
their pledges, nor $30 per month men
been employed to do the clerical work.
They have done nothing to sustain their
great and profuse professions and the
people who voted for them are begin
ning to realize that they are simply be
ing farmed by a lot of schemers who
like the salary, easy hours and labor of
a county ofHce. They are beginning to
see that the reform lantern in the hands
of Joss Mullen is an ignis-fatuus that
leads but to bewilder and dazzles but to
blind.
