Tax question, is, who are the
people?
Wonder if Bayard isn’t sorry
that he spoke.
Cease chiding Atlee Hart. He
has suffered enough.
The time is not far distant when
United States senators will be elect

Speed the day.

A great many newspaper fellows
express no opinion until they see
which way the cat is going to jump.
We had rather be a vigilanter than
such an editor.
Th* repablioan editors ot Ne
braska, regardless of presidential
preferences, arise as one man to de
nounce Thurston’s ultimatum as an
unwarranted and unprecedented ex
hibition of Iamness.
Thkbi is strong talk of changing
the date of the congressional con
vention from August 19 to an earlier
day. We believe this should be
done. A long campaign cannot
hurt the republican cause.
A great many immigrants ate go
ing into Boyd county this spring.
Boyd is all right and we are pleased
to see her filling up. When she
gets full to overflowing the residue
will slop over into Holt, and Holt is
all right._ _
It would not be a bad idea for
one or two aspiring politicians in
Holt county to hamstring their
vaulting ambition to be leaders, at
least until they have become aoclim
ated. Old timers are excusable for
believing that they fully understand
politics in this bailiwick, and they
"are not beating the bulrushes to
flush a Moses.
Judge Kihxaid is the logical can
didate for congress in the big Sixth.
As between the populists and repub
licans honors are about even in the
district, therefore the republicans
must not only nominate a competent
man, but also a vote-getter. Judge
Kinkaid fills the bill. A republican
who can get 1,500 populist votes in
p:. this judicial district is a sure winner
in the congressional district The
judge has done this. He c
again. *
MANDERSON SURBENDE&S.
The Manderson and McKinley
forces have compromised. The
compromise is an almost uncondi
tional surrender by Manderson.
Thurston’s ultimatum was slightly
modified by him and accepted by
Mr. Manderson. The agreement is
that the name of Mr. Manderson is
to be formally presented to the con
vention as a candidate unless in the
Judgment of the Nebraska delega
tion at the assembling of the con
vention, it is apparent that McKinley
will be nominated for president. It
is further agreed that the delega
tion to the national convention shall
be composed of original McKinley
men.
A pretty fess the Manderson men
have made of it, now isn’t it? If
they did not intend to fight to a fin
ish, why, in the name of the great
horned toads, did they ever put on
the gloves? It leaves the friends
of Mr. Manderson in an uncomfort
able situation to say the least. The
wave they danced on so light in the
mom leaves them at night on the
bleak shore alone.
It no doubt is a good thing all
around that the difficulty is settled
finally, but we confess that our
fighting blood was up and we want
ed to be in at the finish. Especially
did we desire to see the question go
before the republicans of Holt
county in convention assembled.
ibe interest, however, was pnrely
selfish. The Frontier is as confi
dent as mortal can be of anything
that the republicans of this county
would have favored a resolution
substantially the same as the one
indicated by us laBt week. We be
lieve this because we interviewed
enough voters from different parts
of the county who were favorable to
such a resolution to make itB adop
tion a certainty. But it is useless to
shed any vain and idle tears. The
contest is off and we can now sup
port William McKinley with as
good grace as any of the “original”
men.
There is now no use of keeping
up the noise. Lay aside the tom
tom and the hew-gaw.
Nebraska is for McKinley.
So mote it be.
Now that the McKinley-Mander
son misunderstanding in Nebraska is
understood we presume the politic
ians have no further desire “to wade
through slaughter to a throne and
shut the gates of mercy on man
kind.” Oh pshaw!
Ed. Fry is offering to send his
Niobrara Pioneer to new subscribers
for four months for 25 cents, and if
Reed is not nominated for the presi
dency he will send the paper to such
subscribers the rest of the year for
nothing. The man who bucks that
game is Bure winner. Fry takes all
of the chances.
We bops the many newspaper
boys in the state who have arrayed
themselves against the “machine ’ in
the late presidential unpleasantness
will not forget their position when j
the campaign for state offices is on. |
There are already several “machine”
men promenading about the state
with their lightning rods pointing
straight up. We trust they may
find no electricity in the atmosphere.
The Ewing Advocate does not
like The Frontier’s remarks con
cerning the organization of a pro
tective association at that place, and
says the best men in that part of
the county are members. The Fron
tier has always said, and here re
peats it, that such an organization
I would be a good thing were it for
no other purpose than to assist the
proper offioers in apprehending and
oonvicting criminals, but it is the
history of every organization of the
kind that they do not stop there.
Often when they fail to convict a
supposed thief they take the law
into their own hands. And then
again: whenever an organization of
the kind is effected in a community
the very men against whom it is di
rected join for their own protection.
The lawless class are frequently in
the majority, and then it lies in their
power to do things that discredit
every man connected with it, and
for these reasons we are opposed to
the organizations. The parent or
gauization in this county claims that
it was organized for the same pur
pose that the Ewing branch is, but
if it was it failed, dismally failed.
With an existence of half as many
years it has three cowardly murders
laid at its door, and more hold-ups.
The good men who joined it havo
severed their connection and de
nounce the whole thing.
POINTED AND PERTINENT.
The New York World is trying
to put a hoodoo on Gov. McKinley
by predicting his nomination.
It will be safe enough for society
to indulge in a Bryon revival, pro
vided it does not include Bryonic
habits. _
Even as sturdy a fighter as Dr.
Talmage had to acknowledge com
plete defeat when he ran up against
the grip.
Mr. Cleveland is said to be an
noyed because the senate has vir
tually asked him to define his posi
tion towards Cuba.
There is a key which will unlock
the Cuban deadlock between con
gress and the president, but it seems
to have been temporarily misplaced.
Miss Clara Barton didn’t fail to
get everything she wanted from the
sultan. That is one of the ruling
characteristics of American women.
The fool friend of the candidate
is again talking whenever he can get
a reporter’s ear. He is by no means
monopolized by any one candidate.
—
The only fun the democrats can
get out of the ante-nomination cam
paign is by discussing the republi
can nominee; it doesn’t matter
about their own, and most of them
know it.
—
newspaper enterprise is neces
sarily limited in Tnrkey, where the
sultan compelled the editors to an
nounce the assassination of the
president of France as a death from
apoplexy. _
That licking the natives gave the
Italians has brought about a tem
porary peace in Abyssinia. Good
thrashings have had a similar effect
before, both on nations and on indi
viduals.
The country regained a portion of
its lost prosperity as soon as a re
publican congress was elected. The
rest will return when a republican
president is elected, which will not
be a great while now.
A Belgium judge goes up head of
the ermine class. He discharged a
prince who was proven to have been
guilty of several prisonable crimes,
on the ground that he was suffering
from “hereditary degeneracy and
without penal responsibility.”
There are republican editors who
seem to forget the interest of the
party in the interest of their candi
date. Gentlemen, this is poor policy.
The republican party, great as it is,
can only win by being united. Stand
by your man, fight for him in a le
gitimate way, but don’t abuse the
other fellow’s man. He may be
nominated.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The language of the Holt county
reform papers toward each other
would lead the most skeptical to im
agine that there are reformers that
don’t reform even in that neck-o’
the woods.—Springview Herald.
Hon. Jack McColl is strictly in
the race for the republican nomina
tion for governor. The indications
are that his strength is rapidly in
creasing and his will certainly be
one of the strongest of the names
mentioned in the state convention.
—Tecumseh Chieftian.
There are so many substantial
reasons why the method of electing
United States senators should be
changed that it seems like a waste
of time to invoke others. But the
disgraceful circumstances which
have followed each other in' the
Kentucky contest cannot fail to ar
ray themselves before the minds of
thoughtful men as overwhelming
evidences of the dangers of a
vicious system.—Hebron Republican.
Hon. 0. C. McNish, that true,
tried and stanch republican of Wie
ner, who has been chairman of the
congressional committee of the
Third district daring the last two
congressional campaigns, and whose
superb management resulted in suo
cess, is a candidate before the re
publicans of the slate for the offioe
of state treasurer. It is unnecessary
to speak of his qualifications for the
position; they are well known. The
race between Mr. McNish and Geo.
Brooks, of Knox county, will be in
teresting, as both are greater work
ers.—Wayne Heiald.
