? CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Holt county republican central
committee is hereby called to meet in
O’Neill on Saturday, March 21,1896, at
2 o’clock v. m., in the office of 8. J.
Weekes, for the purpose of fixing a

the transaction of such other business as
may properly come before the meeting.
8. J. Weekes, Chairman.
Clyde King, Secretary.
The Beacon Light always has a

needs vindicating.
IN the year 1805 there were 230,
845 cases of champagne imported
into the United States. We didn’t
get a drop of it.
The fool killer should have a

Number one reached our exchange

Frontier wishes the Venture success.
The Smudge admits that it has
*. charged the county twice for the
same work, but says it did not in
tend to steal and will indemnify the
county. Why not walk up the cap
tain’s desk and refund the amount?
This indemnity business don’t go.
A “PioTEcnvE Association” has
been organized at Ewing and the
People’s Advocate—populist—says
it is a “good thing.” If it follows
in the footsteps of the parent or
ganization the people of Ewing will
wish they had strangled it in its in
fancy. _
It Nebraska, by sending a Man
derson delegation, can cause a dead
lock between the strong boys, and
thus secure the nomination of Man
derson, that is what we want.
Thurston says he will assist Mander
aon if. an opportunity should present
itself. Here’s an opportunity.
“Min Thurston,” remarks the
Washington Post, “had the Ne
braska delegation snugly packed in
a travelling bag, and was prepared
to hand it over to the managers of
the McKinley boom. It m not
strange that he should feel some
ttknf Ttnf nnf kw tkn annoamnne rtf i

Thubstok does not intend to va
cate the position he has taken on
tiie presidential question. He sayB
he wants the MoKinley-MandeiBon
fight contested from county conven
tions up. We do not anticipate
that the republicans of any county
will be court-martialed and shot
should they see proper to disobey
these orders.

treasurer by the republicans of Ne

been given a pointer.—Wayne Republi

Tbs Fboxtikb has been given no
V- "pointer.” No “pointer” is neoes
1•• aary; all that is required is just a
glance at the field. MeNish' is a
candidate, you know.
Sbhatob Tbubstoh says if there is
any factionalism engendered by the
presidential situation in Nebraska
tiie McKinley men will not be re
sponsible for it No, we suppose
mot The McKinley men were first
in the field, therefore, he who doubts
their right to turn the state over
body and breeches to McKinley is
responsible for the factionalism en
gendered, because, forsooth, he had
1 no right to object
The Omaha Bee, which has been
occupying neutral ground, came out
Monday with a strong editorial foi
Manderson. So rapidly is Mander
son sentiment Bpreading that thirty
days from now, when the convention
meets, he will have no active oppo
sition. All the people will demand
will be a delegation solid for Mc
Kinley as second choice.
--
C. C. McNisb, of Wiener, has an
nounced himself a candidate for the
office of state treasurer. This re
moves him from the congressional
field and strengthens Robb Ham
mond. Now Ross, smear on your
war paint, pull in your McKinley
horns and go after it. ' If our dis
trict could spare a vote we would
take ours down and cast it for you.
Doc Mathews was defeated in the
Arkansas state convention in his
choice for delegate from his district
to the national convention and went
home prepared to inaugurate a cam
paign against the “ring.” Doc is a
little too new in Arkansas politics to
expect to run things, or to do much
damage when he kicks. A report of
the meeting, however, shows that he
has a respectable following.
Fabticdlab attention is directed to
the item on our local page, in which
the Nebraska Club offers cash
prizes for contribution of articles
on Nebraska, its resources and the
advantage it offers the homeseeker.
This will be of special interest to
our readers because, there are many
among them possessed of the taste
for this sort of work, as well as the
talent and ability to get up a strong
contribution, and win the prize

most worthy movement and even if
perohanoe the prize is not captured
(it oannot be by all) there will re
main the supreme satisfaction of
having contributed to a good cause
and receiving a membership in a
good organization. You may also
have the pleasure of seeing your ar
ticles published by the dub, or
named by the committee as one of
special merit. Sharpen your pencil
and your wits and enter the contest.
If Tna rank and file of the republican
party could be convinced that the Ne
braska delegation to the national con
vention would stand ready to vote for
William McKinley after they had com
plimented our distinguished citizen,
Manderson, they wouldn't look with so
much suspicion upon the favorite son
idea. The Manderson men have never
yet said that McKinley was their second
choice. On that point they are exceed
ingly mum.—Graphic.
To relieve the mind of the
Graphic editor, and others who may
be likewise hallucinated, we extract
a sentence from the published ac
count of a reception tendered Mr.
Manderson at Omaha last Saturday
night, upon his return from the
east:
Continuing, General Manderson spoke
kindley of McKinley and said if it were
in his power he would give the Ohio
champion the nomination.
This by Manderson himself
should be sufficient to silenoe those
who have opposed him on the
grounds that his candidacy was but
a scheme to defeat McKinley.
SHOBT-ABM JABS.
That Cuban resolution gives Mr.
Cleveland a great opportunity, but
he has had others which ho neglect
ed to take advantage of.
There are only two things abso
lutely certain about the future ca
reer of Mr. Cleveland: he’ll shoot
some more ducks and catch some
more fish.
Senator Hill and ex-Governor
Campbell both feel that they have
had their full share of the honors
attached to leading a political for
lorn hope, and desire no more in
that line.
There is one thing to be said in
favor of legislative deadlocks: they
prove that votes in state legislatures
are not bought by senatorial candi
dates with the frequency some peo
ple have supposed.
“What is one man’s meat is an
other’s poison.” The action oi
congress on the Cuban question was
right, from the patriotic American
point of view, but entirely wrong
from the Spanish point of view.
The great prosperity of the
country, about which some demo
cratic editors write, is evidenced by
such things as the appointment oi
receivers for the B. & O. railroad,
once one of the most prosperous
lines in the country.
RELEVANT SAYINGS.
Sioux County Journal: Candi
dates for the republican nomination
for congressman for the big Sixth
district still continue to bob up on
all Bides, Judge Heist, of North
Platte, iB said to have entered the
ring, and Senator Akers has his
lightning rod up. There will be no
occasion for the republicans to nom
inate other than a good man, with
the field of candidates they have to
choose from.
State Journal: George A. Eckles,
attorney for Dawes county, was in
the city yesterday on business and
dropped in to say that when the
Northwestern section of Nebraska
sends its representatives to the state
convention it will ask a recognition
it has never received, and that is a
place on the state ticket. Mr. Eck
les is a candidate for state auditor,
and doesn’t intimate that he wants
it as a stepping stone to any greater
honor.
Spencer Ad vocate: The Frontier
hits the nail squarely on the head
when it says we honor the man with
the office more than he honors his
party. Some - men seem to think
that when they are put in power
they are the head moguls and every
one has to dance to their music.
Not so, as they usually find to their
sorrow. It is always best to remem
ber there are others. This will ap
ply to all officers, no matter how
high or low they may be.
Nance County Journal: Spain
should remember that Uncle Sam
has been more forbearing in the
matter of recognizing Cuban rights
than she was in recognizing the con
ieaoracy. one waited a Dare tnree
months after the firing on Fort
Sumpter, while the United States
left the Cabans lo the tender mercy
of Spain for ten years daring the
last uprising and withheld her rec
ognition a whole year in their last
struggle for liberty. Besides, the
cases are not parallel. In case of a
rebellion in Spain the United States
would be very slow to interfere.
Burwell Progress: While the
Progress is a great admirer of Sen
ator Thurston and believes he is en
titled to all the honors granted to
him by the people of this state,
we believe he is taking a step too
far when he attempts to dictate to
the delegates from this state to the
national republican convention how
they shall vote. We believe our
state should honor one of its citi
zens, or go uninBtructed. The feel
ing in favor of Wm. McKinley is
understood, but it is not absolutely
unanimous. _
State Journal: Another 'candi
date for state treasurer will soon be
before the people, in the person of
C. C. McNish, of Wiener. Contra
dictory reports have been circulated
concerning the intentions of Mr.
McNish, but now, after a few days’
siay m uie capital city, lie nas
finally decided to be a candidate for
state treasurer. This decision will
be hailed with delight by Boss Ham
mond, of Fremont. It means that
Mr. Hammond will have to contend
with only ten able bodied men who
want to go to congress, whereas if
Mr. MoNish bad entered that race
there wonld have been eleven, and
eleven is Mr. Hammond’s unlucky
number. John H. McGlay, of Lin
coln, Peter Youngers, of Geneva,
Charles £. Casey and Mr. Wortham,
of Pawnee City, have already set
the pace for Mr. McNish.
C. H. Morrill: Until recently I
had no thought or knowledge that
Nebraska had or would have a can
didate for president Since Senator
Manderson has become a candidate
for president I, as a Nebraskan, feel
that allegiance is due to a citizen of
my own state first and to advocate
and support any and all honorable
efforts to secure his nomination if
possible. By this I do not mean
to be understood as in the least giv
ing preference to any man outside
of Nebraska over Major McKinley,
nor do 1 think the pronounced sen
timent of our people would justify
our delegation voting for any other
than McKinley except it be for a
Nebraskan. General Manderson has
served the state with distinguished
honor for many years. His home
and interests are in Nebraska. I
conceive it but my simple duty to
Btaud up for Nebraska by standing
up for Nebraska’s candidate.
