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. -.v S'-v .• nv; .. .A;. A • 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. O’NEILL BUSINESS DIRECTORY J^n. J. P. OIUIOAN, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON. Day and night calls promptly attended to.
