THE RESULT.
Id the melancholy language of Rose
water, “it is all oyer now.” We refer to
the late political contest in Holt county.
In the light of the returns it is interest
ing to look again over the field .of car
nage and reflect upon the manner in
which the battle was lost and won.
The vote iu the different townships
discloses the fact that the populists did
not elect their candidates, but on the
contrary shows that they were elected
by republican votes, judging from the
returns of two years ago. Taking into
consideration this change, together with
the further fact that the pops won by
reduced majorities, it is evident that
something is working in the populist
camp. Members of the party are gain
ing a little insight into the methods of
theiT leaders and becoming disgusted.
Straight republicans have nothing to
regret over the result, but on the other
gc band bare cause to congratulate them*
selves. Two years ago the populists de
pended upon their large majority for an
^ election and were successful without a
Jg struggle. This year they found their
majority had melted away and they
fought as they never fought before.
They went into republican strongholds
f and spread their money like high-rollers
: . on a bender. There are in every com
| munity men who can be boughs, and
I this party of purity sought them out
f and purchased the fee simple of their
*■ lives for election day. Harrington, it
I seems, was comptroller of the currency
and be did his work well. We don’t
know where he got all the money used
'*• for this purpose, and it would not be
| . proper for us to say what we think, but
‘7 we do know that he Is the smoothest
| gentleman in a boodle campaign that
ever stuck his proboscis into Holt
county politics. We truly believe that
if given money enough be could send
g,7 the Jew to congress. Mike, as a vote*
g buyer, is but a trifle short of perfection,
and, while we despise his methods, we
, are forced to admire the seal with which
he makes a success of even a dlsrepu*
■p , table undertaking.
But all this does nothing more than
g, emphasise the decline of populism in
, this county. When a party after one
short term finds it necessary to desert
its record and buy enough votes to re*
■ tain its crown it is relevant evidence
' that it is on its last legs, and that the pur
chasable floaters are responsible for its
success, the ones who decide between
right and wrong as it were. For these
7 reasons we say republicans • have no
cause for depression. The party’s liver
Is alt right, the party’s face has a healthy
color and all that is necessary for suo
cess at the next election is for individual
republicans to keep a stiff upper lip and
continue to spread the gospel. The
men who were bought in this election
perhaps can always be bought, but re
memjier there are hundreds of good
men in the populist party who will not
i sanction such corruption, but will vote
with the republicans Just as lots of them
did this year.

Toe Fnoimnn committed no error
when It said that Blglin would literally
Shin Mullen in O'Neill and Grattan
township, where both men are best
known. Mullen has lived in O'Neill
two years now sad Blglin’s majority
shows what the people think of him.
Stuart, Atkinson, Bwlng, Chambers and
Steele Creek defeated BigUn, but where
he was known hie majorities were ilg,
and he can always point with pride to
hie home'vote.
“Tans fate of thr party depends on
the election of Judge Maxwell,” said
Edgerton la hie ante-election letter to
the populism Maxwell was defeated by
10,000. This is the beginning of the
end of populism in Nebraska. Aa a
stats organisation the party is dead as a
door nail. It may survive for a year or
two In a few isolated and poverty
stricken counties in the state—that ia,
linger along like a pestilence, but one
by one the different communities will
recover from the disease and fumigate
themselves to prevent a return of the
malady.
