p,:' FOE DELEGATE.
Hon. Neil Brennan, of O'Neill, bss
|’ announced himself as a candidate for
1; delegate from this district to the nation
pel republican convention, and Tits
1 Frontier embraces this opportunity to
*;fj! ,
p indorse his candidacy and express the
, hope that he may be successful in secur
|llng this recognition, which is in no
Vise commensurate to bis worth as a
£•citlsen and representative republican.
Mr. Brennan has resided in Holt
f eonnty and this district for more than 21
! yean, and during the political turmoil
f Of all that time suspicion of disloyalty
Jlto the party has never attached itself to
• ..his name, but on tbe contrary he has
p always been in the foreground working
. for honest politics and republican ad
v* Vancement. Holt county republicans
r will without doubt be pleased to honor
|ihlm with her delegation, and the other
1' Bounties comprising this senatorial dli~
k Diet should instruct for him without a
I-dissenting voice, and we believe they
Will.
This congressional district is entitled
/ to two delegates and we suppose the
. eternal fitness of things will dictate that
oae be chosen from tbe south and one
l-.'from the north. In the northern terri
ptory there is no man mole eminently
, Beatified or highly deserving an oopor
| lenity to cast a vote in the convention
| for the next president of the United
: States than our own Neil Breupan.
Wn an told that there was quite a
' bussing of political bees at the Fremont
tMWt softer convention.

f ; 3aon McOou, is a candidate for gov
ernor. Holt county cast six votes for
K jack in the convention two years ago.
Tan Bun aays it is as muoh opposed to
the vigilantes as is Thk FnonTian. As
long as the light holds out to burn the
. vilest sinner may return.
r I* Henderson wants the Nebraska
^delegation, and it would seem that he
||dpes, he is entitled to it. His obsnees
' for a presidential nomination are better
Sony day than Allison’s. . (

- It has been decided to hold two re
lAiblioan conventions in the state this
>yoar. The first one, for the election of
^delegates to the national convention,
|||jttl be held in Omaha on April 10. The

ffjiile candidates, will be held In Lincoln,
'Mobebiy.eo^e time in August.

PI on forever holding up people on the

Wb do not view with any great degree
of satiafaction this attempt to turn Ne
braska's delegates over to McKinley
with a ball and chain on each and every
one of them. McKinley is all right, but
there are other men who are all right
and we fail to see any existing emer
gency that should even suggest a
McKinley instruction, fie is a high
protectionist, it is true, but no man wbo
la not would think of asking for the
republican nomination in this yeai of
democratic mismanagement and business
depression. In cbosing a candidate
from among those already in the field it
would be difficult for tbe republican
convention to make a mistake. It would
be mighty poor politics to tie Nebraska's
delegation to the tail of any man’s pres
idential boom and we hope it will not be
done. __
Tub difference between a vigilante
organization and a "Protective Associa
tion" amounts to about as much ns
tbe difference between tweedledee and
tweedledum; a distinction without a dif
ference. An organization of cattle
men whose object is to prosecute thieves
and furnish evidence to the proper au
thorities is in itself not a bad thing, but
tbe great trouble is that it does not stop
where its duties and usefulness end.
Unprincipled fellows secure control of
the organization and divert it from tbe
channel in which it was contemplated it
should move, and then come holdups,
like that reported last week, and bang*
ing bees; men desiring to remove objec
tionable people take advantage of the
organization to commit deeds of out
lawery and they are permitted to go un
whipped of justice by the very band
that has for its motto, "Law and Order,”
Tbe workings of the organization in
this county should be sufficient proof
that it is a failure, and it is time for all
honest men—if any such there be—to
come out from among them.
