THE TICKET THAT WINS.
The republican! placed In nomination
laat Monday a ticket that will be elected.
It la a clean ticket and one that the
Holt county voters can rely upon for an
honest administration of affairs.
The nomination of Mr. Biglin was
exactly the proper thing according to
our philosophy, as we said last week.
He is well qualified and he is honest in
his dealings. He is a young man who
has built himself up in O’Neill, has
lived here since boyhood, and by his
honorable and manly acts both in pub*
lie and private life surrounded himself
: with friends and admirers who are
pleased that he has been thusly honored
and will lend their aid to the end that in
January the people’s money may be
placed in bands that will handle it to
the people’s advantage and not farm it
out in payment of political debts. Per
haps his own words in accepting the
nomination better express the situation.
He said that if elected be would zeal
ously guard the funds entrusted to his
keeping, and in the transaction of the
business of his office would know
neither friend nor foe, that the manipu
lations of the office would be with an
eye single to the people's interests and
not the interests of any ring or clique.
That such a practice would be in great
contrast with the methods of the pres
ent Incumbent those familiar with the
situation must admit, and this frank
declaration of intention has made votes
for Mr. Biglin.
John Skirving, the nominee for clerk
of the district court, needs no word of
introduction from us. He has met the
voters of Holt county in former cam
paigns and they are satisfied with the
manner in which his office has been con
ducted.
The nomination ot John Brady, of
Alkinaon, for aheriff, we believe wm a
wise choice end will lend strength to
the ticket. He may not be very well up
on wagon tracks or overly familiar
with spooks, but when it cornea to the
legitimate duties of sheriff he will be
found eminently qualified and all may
rest assured that his endeavors will for
honest and Impartial government.
For county clerk perhaps no better
nomination could have been made. The
convention recog^fzed in Frank Philips
a person of peculiar and unusual fitness
for that position, and his nomination by
acclamation was an honor to him and an
evidence of the wisdom of the conven
tion. Mr. Phillips has served as mem
ber ot the county board from Steel
Creek township for several years, and
his work and record there are indica
tions of what may be expected when he
is elected county clerk, which of course
he will be.
, ( Dr. Blackburn, ot Atkinson, for su
perintendent is a nomination for which
the convention is greatly commended by
all parties. The Atkinson Plain Dealer,
a populist organ said to have been es
tablished by Mike Harrington, last
v. week had this to say concerning Mr.
■■ j Blackburn when the free silver demo
' crate nominated him for regent:
V The action of the democratic state
convention in nominating Dr. A. T.
Blackburn for regent of the state uni
versity reflected honor on the wisdom of
its deliberations. Although the Plain
| Dealer is - not in accord with Dr. B.
from a partisan standpoint, yet its alle
giance to truth compels it to indorse his
eminent fitness to fill the position for
which he haa been named. He is a
;V scholarly gentlemsn in the full sense of
the term. As he has been named, for an
Important state office, the Plain Dealer
§• deems it a duty to give a brief biogra
'phy of his life, collated from a reliable
source: .
Alfred Thogias Blackburn is a native
Wisconsin—botn March 7,1858, at Oak
Creek, Milwaukee county. He is the
ion of an English clergyman who has
long held high rank in the clerical pro
fession of the west. His primary edu
cation was derived from the tutorship of
his father, an accomplished scholar. He
resided with his parents while his
father was stationed at Milwaukee, Col
umbus, Waukaha, Horicon and Chil
ton, Wis. While in his boyhood he
took a preparatory course at Carroll
college, Waukaha. After completing
this course, in his 17th year he entered
Lawrence seminary at Appleton, Wis.
After nearly four years of diligent ap
plication in this institution, at the age
of 21 he commenced the study of medi
cine with Dr. Deanes, of Chilton. He
whs successively principal of the public
1 schools of liingham, Oreenbush and
Waldo, Wisconsin, pursuing his medi
cal Btudies ad interim. He gratuated at
the Northwestern University—Chicago
Medical College—in 1881, taking the
three years’ course. lie began the prac
tice of medicine at Uingbam, Wis., and
attained marked success in the line of
his chosen avocation. He was a mem
ber of the Phila-la-thean association of
the Lawrence Medical society, and of
the Wisconsin Pharmacutical Associa
tion. In 1881 he was married to Miss
Ella C. Hutchinson, of Lynndon, Wis.
With the sole view of improving his
impaired health he emigrated, with bis
family, to Nebraska in 1884 and settled
in Atkinson. His anticipations and
hopes, from a sanitary standpoint, were
comparatively realized, and his profes
sional business and social relations in
this community have won for him the
respect and confidence of all the people
in this locality and they will expross
their appreciation of his worth by the
vote that he will receive in this locality
at the November election.
rue omce or county judge is an im
portant one; more important to the gen
eral good of the people than its fees are
to the pocket book of the judge, and
the man who accepts of it does so more
from a patriotic standpoint than from a
desire to wax corpulent upon the litiga
tion of the people. Such a man is 11.
C. Wry, of Chambers, who was chosen
for that position by this convention.
Mr. Wry is a representative of the pros
perous south country and his excellent
standing at home is sufficient guarantee
that he is a good man to hold the scales
of justice.
Mr. Bowden, of Paddock, who re
ceived the nomination for surveyor, wus
the republican candidate two years ago,
and although he made a splendid run,
was defeated with the rest of the ticket.
This time be will be elected with the
rest of the ticket.
Dr. Bigler, of Ewing, was nominated
by acclamation. He is qualified in every
way for that particular office and voters
will see to it that he is elected with his
colleagues.
The people are terribly in earnest in
this contest and they propose to remove
the reformers who have failed to re
form. It may seem strange to some to
see the republicans and democrats
drinking from the same canteen, but
affairs have reached that point in Holt
county when the majority must rule.
Tne tyranny and arrogance of these in
cumbent populists has become almost
unbearable, and for the well-being of
our citizens and the future prosperity of
our county this alliance has been made
and will be supported to a successful
termination in November.
Now that Golden and his friend
McHugh have flopped again the pops
need hope no more. These gentlemen
invariably get In juBt in time to officiate
as mourners.
Tub Frontier would suggest to the
republicans and democrats of the sev
eral supervisor districts of llolt county
that they unite upon some good man
and combine their votes for his election.
The combination already effected will
sweep the county platter cleau and we
might just as well have a majority of
the supervisors. In fact it is Import
ant that they be secured. A combina
tion, wise selections and the right kind
«f work will redeem poor bleeding
llolt.
--
Sunday night and Monday morning
before the convention such stalwart re
publicans as Ed Gallagher, Michael
Harrington, et. al., devoted consider
able of their valuable time to interview
ing delegates, in a vain but powerful
effort to make them realize that fusion
would kill the republican party dead as
a smelt. But the delegates overthrew
their undertaking and now we don't ex
pect anything else but thrt Gallagher,
Harrington, et. al. will vote the populist
ticket.
Tub last statement of the county
treasurer shows that he has overdrawn
for bis salary or for the salaries of his
clerks, $037.96. Now we would like to
kuow by what authority this man ap
propriates to his own use the money of
the people of this county. His salary is
made up from a per cent, of the money
he collects and if he collects no money
he receives no salary. Then, we say,
by what principle of law does he appro
priate the public funds and charge him
self therewith? He does not know that
future collections will make the amount
good, nor does he know but that when
one of these overdrafts is in full bloom
the cold and clammy hand of death may
beckon him on and leave the amount to
bo collected from a bond of doubtful
worth. Of course this is a remote pos
sibility and we hope it may never occur,
but It is not so remote that it might not
overtake him, and besides, the principle
of the transaction is there. The county
treasurer has uo legal or moral right to
overdraw for the payment of his salary,
or for the payment of the salary of his
help. He has no legal or moral right to
appropriate to his own use a single cent
until he has earned it, and he has not
earned it until bo has collected it. lie
might with the same propriety loan the
county money to you or to me. for be
has in effect loaned it to himself.
Tf the business in the treasurer's office
continues at this ratio until January 1,
Mr. Mullen will be short on this one
item just $1854. My lords, can this be
reform?
