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 ed by a direct vote of the people. 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. O’NEI LLBUSINESS DIRECTORY JQK. J. P. OILLIOAV, PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON, Office in Holt County bank building.
