Holt, how about you?
--« -
Atkinson papers foolishly attempted
to suppress the story of the egging epi
sode, neither of them having a word to
say concerning it. Might as well print
the news, boys; murder will out.
..The town of Plalnview has decided
to appropriate fl.000 to send an envoy
to Great Britain to confer with Lord
Salisbury in the interests of peace.
Thus the scene of trouble shifts from
the white house to Plalnview.
Thb new county board meets next
Tuesday; then we shall see whether the
printing contract is let to the lowest
bidder. Such a course would not nec
essarily Indicate that the pop majority
loved the Jew less, but Holt more.
Now that some more suspected cattle
thieves are in the toils the county purse
might as well prepare itself for a severe
drain through the tap of court expenses.
We trust that no guilty one may escape
deserved punishment. As the parties
under arrest are all populists it is safe to
predict that there will be no lynching.
Qua good friend June* Cavanaugh,
of the Sioux City Advocate saya: "By
the removal of the ambiguities that sur
round questions of political economy
their comprehension becomes a very
simple task.” You have our permission
and request to begin the "removal" op
erations at once, James.
Tama of it, you people In (he rainy,
foggy malaria-haunted region of the
southland, January In Nebraska without
a flake of snow, a breath of wind or a
sign of a cloud, Ice too soft for saking,
no fires In half tho houses and doors
open for the purpose of admitting cool
air—not light. There is no country but
Nebraska, all others are imitations.
Thb Bun says the republican party is
responsible for the law authorizing a
bounty for beet sugar. The republican
party is quite willing to plead guilty to
the Charge, but what la the Sun going to
do with its populist senator who voted
aye when the bill came up for passage
and agian voted-aye when It came up
for passage over the governor’s veto?
OovBBiton Holcomb made a great
mistake in not filling all the appointive
offices under his control with Custer
county pop patriots, if he ever had any
future political aspirations. Now there
is Colonel Webb, who has perspired in
the cause of grief and desolation, stab
bing the governot under the fifth rib at
every opportunity because he was over
looked when the patronage pie was
passed around. The great drawback
to the successful perpetuation of popu
llsim la the lack of offices to go around
among the faithful.—Custer County
Republican.
" Thi Omaha World Herald, which in
this instance )■ without doubt good au
. tborlty, says:
Governor Holcomb will be acandi
•dale for the popaliat congreaeional nom
ination in the Sixth diatrict. That baa
already been determined upon. He will
C undoubtedly receive the nomination.
The conteet then will be between Hol
comb and the republican nominee. The
republicana have aeveral atrong men in
that diatrict and it ia admitted that in
order to defeat Holcomb tbe republicana
,'tnuat nominate their strongest man.
;S„. If Holcomb baa decided to become a
candidate for congreaa the worda of
Idgerton to the effect that the future of
the populist party in Nebraska depended
upon the election of Maxwell, have
been fully Verified. Holcomb !a tbe
only logleel Candidate the populists
couldwive fW governor, and when thiqf
permit Mm Ain tire from the field and
compete for .a vlqr doubtful pries In tbe
Sixth it ie relevint evidence that they
consider the state aafely republican in
,189fi. And it la.
- Tun Blair Leader polnta to the faot
Tom MaJora received more votea
•or goVernor than any other republican
candidate—with one exception—aince
the organixation of the elate, end ears
tbia ia evidence that the boye who aay
MaJora waa a poor man to make the
race, do not know what they are talking
about. Of courae theee figurea are oom
. toning to a defeated candidate, but they
do not by any manner of meanc prove
that he received the republican vote.
He did not and we all know it. Repub
licans cut Majore right and left, and
' While we begged them to not do it, we
could not find it in our bearta to can
aure them after they did. We believe
, fully one-third of the republican vote
'received by Mejora waa cut under pro
- feet. Even hia warmest frienda felt that
,, hie nomination wu a bad thing and
were anxioue u to the reaulta. It wu
' not major’s popularity or attainmente
. that secured for him the nomination in
the first place; it wu Rosewater's oppo
sition and the splendid opportunity to
V make him eat crow. Majore wu the
• crow. The party hu paid dearly for its
folly in that instance and it occurs to ua
•that it ie time to cease this twaddle
about his splendid run in this “magnlfi
pent commonwealth of ours.**
Ins big Sixth congressional district is
likely to be the field of a brisk contest
among republicans in the convention.
The number of candidates is proof that
the republicans feel able to wipe out the
pops headed by Governor Holcomb.
Among the possible candidates before
the convention are W. R. Akers of Ger
ing, Matt Daugherty of Ogalalla, Judge
Kinkaid of O'Neill, Frank Becman of
Kearney, Fred Dorrington of Alliance
and A. E. Cady of St. Paul. Senator
Akers is an avowed candidate, and very
recently Mr. Cady has signified bis will
ingness to accept a nomination. Popu
lists do not think Governor Holcomb
ought to leave his chosen path, even
though it is certain to lead him to
defeat, and enter the race for congress,
but ir seems certain that he will. In his
own party be will probably be opposed
by Judge Neville and T. Fulton Gantt
of North Platte, Senator Stewart of
Dawes county, and perhaps by Bill
Greene, but that was not in the bargain
when the governor helped Bill onto the
district bench.—State Journal.
Tbb trend of state political affairs
thus early indicates to us that the ma
chine fellows are in training to again
capture the works. Tub Fuontiku
does not like a man who sits away back
in the wilderness, far removed from the
scene of battle and the crowd’s ignoble
strife, and croaks of machines and ring
sters and venal vampires and such, but
it seems to us that the most unobserviug
can observe that there is a set of men
acting today as party leaders in Ne
braska, who have material interests
other than the party’s good; men who
like to be elected to office by the indi
vidual suffrages of partisans, but when
once seated on the throne forget who
they are or from whence they came and
put on airs and act as petty tyrants;
trade off the patronage of their offices
In the market that offers them the
greatest bargains and never once suffer
themselves to think of the duty they
owe the organization which exalted
them. Some such people are holding
office in the state today and others have
aspirations. They are the class Tub
Fbobtibr desires to see pitched head
long into the darkness of oblivion and
men chosen in their stead who will not
sacrifice their party and themselves for
a few measly, microbe-infected dollars.
Give ms a little statesmanship and not
quite s* much auctioneering.
