Teb, by the way, what haa become of
Hilton and that 85,000 he la aald to owe
the state? Make him dig up.
W. H. Wkstover, who was nominat
ed by the populista for district judge in
the west end, ia said to be a lawyer of
: ability.
Tee new board has a splendid oppor
tunity to make a popular record for
itself. It can save the county many
thousand dollars per year if it is so
minded, and as the pops no longer have
a majority it will no doubt be run more
' on business principles.
A number of the pop sups wanted to
ignore the new law but public sentiment
was against them and they bowed to the
Inevitable. It is sad, too, to see so
many promising statesmen rudely thrust
into oblivion, and sad to think that
mention will probably never more be
made of them.
It would not be out of order for the
new board to make a little reformation
along the line of printing contracts.
Contracts made by the old board are
hardly binding now and there is an op
portunity to save 81,000 this year on
i-’% that line alone. The supervisor who
shirks his duty in this matter Shoulders
the responsibility.
Ibb resolutions adopted by tbe judic*
ial convention have the pop brand on*
A:' tbe left hip. “We charge the present
judges with willful maladministration of
law and justice,” is but another way of
saying that “we are on the verge of
“moral, political and material ruin.”
The time has gone by when inflamma
tory resolutions inflame.
Pooh Jim Qreig is now entirely out of
a job and without caste as a statesman.
>4 He squirmed and turned like a wounded
snake in hie last great effort to hold his
sftj- situation, and when at last he was
pounded loose he fell into the soup
4 with a melancholy kerplunck and it is
i f not probable that he will ever appear
upon the surface again.
Thb passing of the board of super
Ha visors is a source of great satisfaction
to this paper, and should also be hailed
with delight by the people of the
county. The saving to the tax-payers
> will be great: where it formerly cost
1100 for a day's session it will now cost
but 931, and then tbe lopping off of
- useless committees will be another item
of Importance.

Fok some time now the Beacon Light
hag been referring in a contemptuout
way to the "Hayes’ shortage.” There
does seem to be a little difference be
tween the figures made by Mr. Hayes
and those made by Mr. Stitt, but Mr.
Hayes says that when the books are ex
perted to his satisfaction and it is then
clear that he is short in any amount, he
will stand ready to make .it good, and
that there is no occasion for people
to lose sleep over the matter.
"Bury the tomahawk, and perhaps
lightning may stike you two years
hence,” says the Sun to the candidates
defeated in the county populist conven
tion. This would indicate, as we have
always maintained, that the spoils con
stitute the backbone of the populist
party. Take from their office seekers
the money consideration that follows
success and not one of them would
care a tinkersdam how short a route the
country might take to the demnition
bowwows. Just dry your tears, boys,
and perhaps in the hszy subsequent you
may receive a' slice of pie. How have
the mighty fallen I The people who
organized but a few short years ago for
the purpose of redeeming the world and
emancipating the tax-bound inhabitants
thereof we now find participating in a
wild steeple-chase for "lightning two
years hence." Friends and Homans, do
you wonder that we weep?
The Bun was perhaps a little prema
ture in making another political flop.
The slate was severely and emphatically
smashed last Saturday shortly after its
program announcement, and if rumb
ling thunder from the country districts
indicates anything, the scheme to push
that “vacilating orb” in ahead of the
Beacon Light, and other populist papers
to absorb the official patronage of
officers elected by their efforts, will die
sbornin’ it such a move is intended.—
Beacon Light.
We don’t know about that. Since the
iudicial convention it begins to look as
though McHugh acted after mature de
liberation and in accordance with the
sdvice of the men who turn the crank
of the machine. The "slate” in this
particular case was not “smashed;” no
not to any great extent. The Sun seems
|ust rising to open and govern the ball,
while the man who manipulated the
First ward caucus in a manner that
would “disgrace hell in its palmiest
days," must feel that his revenge is
almost complete. Old Ham feels the
land slipping from beneath his feet as
the tide goes out.
The Graphic man has ceased to pat
the dear pop fellows on the back. We
thought he would discover the error of
Ins way before he had gone very far.
GOLDEN WINS.
The nomination of Tom Golden Mon
day for district j udge was a surprise to
iome people. Henry Murphy had the
delegation from Holt and those who
never look below the surface thought of
course he would be nominated, but they
reckoned without the machine. It was
never intended that Murphy should re
ceive the nomination. Mike Harring
ton and J. P. Mullen were against him
md it must be admitted that they or
ganized their forces in a perfect manner.
It does not look to be quite the proper
thing for the west end to come down to
O’Neill and tell the Holt county popu
lists that they do not know their own
minds. One judge was conceded to
Holt and with that understanding the
county convention selected Henry
Murphy for the position, but the district
convention ignored this action and nom
inated Golden, a man that the county
convention said was distasteful to Holt
county populists. But if any theie are
who think this action was taken without
advice from the leading pop politicians
of Holt, let them disabuse their minds.
Mike Harrington is a smooth gentleman
and Jim Mullen is another. Honor
those to whom honor is due. In one
respect we feel sorry for Henry Murphy:
he is too good-hearted a fellow to be
buffeted about by these political trick
sters, but he chose his own company,
sowed the wind and now let him reap.
We have told him time and again the
kind of people with whom he was deal
ing but he believed us not.
Thi Frontier a month'ago took ob
servations regarding the direction of the
wind and predicted the nomination of
Golden, at the same time remarking
that be was not entitled to it for the
reason that he had not been a pop &i
long as the other candidates. It has
been only about two years since he wai
a candidate for county attorney upon
the democratic ticket and exerted him
self to his utmost to defeat Henry
Murphy; then he was a prominent can
didate for the registership of the O’Neill
land office and it was not until his bopec
in that direction had been blasted thai
he made any profession whatever ol
populism. During all this time his op
ponents in this last great struggle were
sawing wood in the pop timber and tak
ing the lean with the fat. The result
again reminds us that the race is noi
always to the swift, nor the battle tc
the strong.
After this last exhibition of mechan
ism we don’t want to hear populist!
prate any more about the purity of theii
politics, or tell us that the voice of the
people controls the actions of theii
conventions. It’s not true and all suet
professions are mere rot. No conven
tion ever performed such juggling ai
was seen in this particular case, or saw
the will of the people so completely dis
regarded. A pop who pops for con
science’ sake must certainly wondei
where he is at.
