Dodge county republicans have
instructed for lloss Hammond for
congress.
It is semi-oOically announced that
Holcomb will be the populist nomi
nee for governor. It is a forlorn
hope but he owes it to his party to
make the race.
John Tbommebshaujser is boing
mentioned as a candidate for the
legislature. Two years ago John
made a splendid race, being defeated
by but a few votes.
We hate met several men who
blame a newspaper for having de
feated them for office, but we have
yet to find the first man to admit
that a newspaper elected him to
office.
Mayob-elect Mubphy says that as
he was elected upon a citizens’ ticket
and no politics entered into the con
test he will show no political favors
in his administration. We will see
what we shall see.
The Fbontieb conceives it to be
the duty of a conscientious editor
to say what he thinks, without re
gard to the number who hold con
trary opinions. The man who
strives to ride the popular wave is
liable to drown in the trough of the
sea. ' '

It is laughable to see the three or
four Manderson newspaper men of this
state, who have been abusing Senator
John M. Thurston for assisting the peo
ple in their fight for McKinley, nimbly
hop into the band wagon.—Graphic.
Yes, we suppose it is “laughable”
to see the boys “hop into the band
wagon,” and just a little surprising
to see them pick up a lead horn and
play the musio at sight

The republicans of Dawes county
adopted the following, at their con
vention held last week:
Whereas: The Hon. M. P. Kinkald
has long been held in high esteem by
the people of this county on account of
his true worth as a citizen, and the able,
Impartial and honest manner in which
he has presided as judge in this district
for almost ten years: therefore be it
Resolved, that we heartily endorse
his candidacy for the congresiional nom
ination and hereby instruct the delega
tion to North Platte to use every honor
able means to secure his nomination.
We have noticed with sorrow the
penchant a great many people have,
particularly in the newspaper line,
to accept credit for work performed
by others. In fact we have known
men to gain celebrity, in a local
way, who could not indite a quasi
original idea if their very lives de
pended upon it. To see fellows
floating about upon such a bubble
causes us to wonder what their feel
ings will be when the time comes
that they must expose their utter
ignorance. v

bomb or tbe Jobs that are out up at
convention* year after year are getting
very cheatnutty and are indulged in by
very email bore politician*.—Ledger.
Tea, and the fight made for the
republican ticket last fall by one re
publican paper plaoes a republican
convention in just such a mood that
it doesn’t care a tinker’s darn
whether the editor approves or dis
approves of its actions. Last fall
The Ledger by reprehensible
silence assisted the populists in
electing their county ticket, and a
few sheriff sales in its columns after
election indicated something. A
kick from the Ledger feels to us
like a republican boot on a populist
foot and consequently causes no
bruise.
Xv TOtfflo of the editor of the
.Beacon Light last week the editor
of Thb Fboxtibb wrote, “Remorse
of conscience is a pain unknown to
some breasts,” but the intelligent
compositor, who evidently knew bis
business, made it read “beasts;” the
proof reader was also intelligent
and let it go, and now an intelligent
public may deal with the error as it
seoR proper. We mention this in
passing because about tho first of
the year we took an obligation to
eschew such language and our reso
lution to keep the same is still in
good repair. The vulgar and de
grading tight now long waged be
tween the Sun and Beacon Light
teaches us the advantages offered by
a reform along this line. “Ill blows
the wind that profits nobody.”
POINTED AND* PERTINENT.
The reception of Secretary Car
lisle’s letter has not moved Mr.
Cleveland to write one.
Senator Tillman’s presidential
aspirations are properly classed as
campaign humor, although he takes
them very seriously.
The supporters of some of the
republican candidates are talking
about 1000, which does not indicate
confidence in their success this year.
Congress has spoken veiy plainly
and very emphatically on that Cuban
business, but Mr. Cleveland “ain’t
sayin’ a word.” Congress should
Bpeak again, and louder.
If Chairman Hitt, of the house,
foreign affairs committee, has any
evidence as to the intention of Mr.
Cleveland to quit trying to boss
congress, he should lose no time in
producing it.
Secretary Carlisle’s so-called re
fusal to have his name used ns a
candidate for the democratic presi
dential nomination, indicates an
intention to carry his treasury jug
gling methods into national politics.
The best informed democrats now
admit that protection is necessary
for the prosperity* of the country,
but the country will look to the
natural party of protection—the
republican—for the proper protec
tive legislation.
PRESS COMMENTS.
General Manderson’s popularity
and recognized ability has by no
means abated Binoe the birthright is
to go to MeKinley. The latest
honor bestowed upon him is an
invitation to deliver the Memorial
day oration at General Grant’s tomb,
Riverside Park, N. Y. This is quite
equal to “favorite son.’’—Leigh
World. _
Senator Allen was opposed to the
proposed pension of General Thayer,
but during his absence from the
senate Thurston called it up and had
it passed in thirty seconds. It now
goes to the president who will be
urged by Senator Thurston and
Congressman Meiklejohn to sign the
bill. This is expeditious work in
behalf of one who deserves it—Fre
mont Tribune.
Superintendent Mackay, of the
Norfolk asylum for the insane, is
being put upon the defensive,
charges having been preferred
against him, and tiled with Gover
nor Holcomb. They charge him
with official misconduct, willful nog
lect of duty, immoral conduct and
speech and inflicting on the patients
under his charge and control unus
ual, cruel and barbarous punish
ment; also, with repeatedly and for
long intervals of time, willfully and
wantonly neglecting his duties as
superintendent. There are some
forty specifications. Mackay says
the charges emenate from discharged
employes, but that they were insti
gated by the present Steward, Jen
kins, and W. M. Robertson, of
Madison.—Columbus Journal.
KINKAID AND CONGRESS.
Judge Kinkaid will name the
Holt county delegates to the North
Platte convention.—Alliance Guide.
The Tribune predicts that Judge
M. P. Kinkaid will be a candidate
before the republican convention for
the nomination for congress. And
he will bo a winner this time, sure.
—Crawford Tribune.
Judge Kinkaid, we are informed,
has decided to bo a candidate for
congress. He is quite a smooth
campaigner and will make a strong
tight for the nomination, and if
nominated he will push hard for the
polls.—Uushville (pop) Standard.
That Hon. M. P. Kinkaid will re
ceive the undivided support of the
northwest Nebraska republicans for
the nomination for congressman
from this district is a foregone con
elusion, now that it is fully deter
mined that he is a candidate. His
nomination means his election, and
his election means an able and fear
less representative of right principles
and justice from this district in the
lower house of congress.—North
western Press.
In instructing their delegates to
the congressional nominating con
vention at North Platte for Judge
Kinkaid, the republicans of Dawes
county have not only done an act of
justice to that eminent jurist, but
give convincing evidence that the
local cause which controlled the
actions of the delegates at Broken
Bow two years ago has been elimin
ated from Dawes county politics.
And this elimination is emphasized
by the fact that Henry Reynolds,
who led the delegation two years
ago, received the highest vote of
any delegate to the North Platte
convention this year, and will prob
ably head it again.—Crawford
Tribune.
While we are not prepared to say
whether or not Judge M. P. Kinkaid
is a candidate for congress, there is
one thing of which we are certain,
and that is that the people of the
Sixth district, irrespective of any
particular section, are anxious to see
him nominated for that place. The
republican party cannot afford to try
any experiments this fall, as has
been done heretofore, and give the
populists an opportunity to send
another nonentity to Washington.
No one will deny that Judge Kin
kaid can poll a stronger vote, and
with less effort, than any other man
in the district. This being the case,
it is foolhardy for republicans to
talk of nominating some man whoso
election is doubtful when we have
ono whose success is' certain, and
who has every requirement that
insures an honorable, efficient and
wutchful supervision of the interests
of the people of the Sixth congress
ional district.—Alliance Times.
Judge M. P. Kinkaid, judge of
the Fifteen judicial district, was in
the city yesterday making the ac
quaintance of our republicans and
informing them that he was a can
didate for the republican congres
sional nomination. Jho judge is a
pleasant gentleman, a stalwart re
publican and a great vote getter, as
was demonstrated last fall by the
enormous republican majority he re
ceived over his populist opponent.
In the Fifteenth district they have
two judges, and at the last election
the other republican was defeated,
while Judge Kinkaid got 1,160 ma
jority over his opponent and 1,096
more votes than the successful pop
ulist This makes him a very
strong candidate. While he is
looking after his chance for congress
a large number of his friends are
striving to have him make the race
for supreme judge this fall, claiming
he would add knowledge, ability
and dignity to that tribunal. One
thing is certain, he would make a
strong, able candidate for either
position.—North Platte Telegraph.
Hon. M. P. Kinkaid, of O’Neill,
Holt county, called upon the prom
inent republicans of Sidney Thurs
day last. Mr. Kinkaid is promin
ently mentioned in connection with
the congressional nomination in this
district. It was very nearly demon
strated that had he been the nominee
of the convention two years ago he
would have, been elected. He is
now on the bench in his judicial dis
trict, and he is very near the people
in that part of the state. There can
be no doubt but that Judge Kinkaid
would make a strong race, and
should the congressional mantle fall
on his shoulders it would bo worn
with dignity, and the big Sisth dis
trict would have an able champion
j at Washington. The Poniard be
| lieves that if Judge Hoist of this
! county would consent to lemain in
| the field he would make the strong
est candidate the republicans could
nominate. But the judge feels that
it would not be wise to divide the
strength of the western counties,
and as a matter of good politics will
not seek the nomination.—Sidney
