It may bo truly said that the cloud
lowering upon the democratic house
has a silver lining.
C. G. Leonard has been ousted
from the office of county superin
tendent of Boyd county, for failure
to perform bis duties.
A new paper has been started at
Inman and is called the Enterprise.
Messrs. Boot and Fergusen are pub
lishers. The Fbontieb wishes the
Enterprise success.
The editor, while at the conven
tion, laid his ear on the public pulse
and diagnosed the following:
McKinley, president.
MacColl, governor. *
McNish, treasurer.
McGlay, auditor.
They call it the Me. quartet
The A. P. A.’s wouldn’t do a thing
to a ticket like that, would they?
There is a rumor that an attempt
will be made to turn Attorney Gen
eral Churchill down, and thus violate
the two-term precedent. We know
of no good reason why Mr. Churchill
should be turned down, unless, per
haps, he stands in the way of some
aspiring man from Douglas county.
If this turning down process once
begins it would be in order for
other incumbents to look well to
their fenoes. There are others less
deserving of a second term than Mr.
Churchill. _
While in Omaha last week Sen
ator ShUrston assured the editor of
The Frohtier that sometime during
. the campaign he would surely make
a speech in O’Neill. As an orator
the senator is the peer of any man in
our country, and the announcement
that he is to speak here will cause
great rejoicing among tho faithful
Holt county republicans will declare
a holiday on the oooasion, and they
may well feel gratified that he has
decided to favor them. Since his
election to the senate, Mr. Thurston's
^reputation as an orator has spread
from coast to coast, and he will be in
great demand during this campaign.
The gold-bug democrats are now
almost willing to concede that the
Chicago convention will be domi
nated by the free-silver wing of the
party, This changes the face on the
political moon. Finance and not
tariff will be the issue in the cam
paign. The republicans will oer
tainly declare for sound money.
The result will be, it seems to us,
that the silver states will vote the
democratic ticket, as will also the
free silver people of all parties.
The populists will have to vote with
the democrats, and the outcome of it
all will be that the populist party
will be swallowed up and lost to
view forever.
Holt county cast her eleven votes
in favor of the Oollins substitute.
Suoh action Will not meet the ap
proval of Holt county republicans,
as the sentiment here was unques
tionably favorable to the compro
mise. It is unfortunate that this
occurred, bnt the delegation is re
sponsible: after the defeat of
Daugherty all but two of our dele
gates left the hall, thinking the bus
iness session was over, but after that
the resolution came up and Holt was
voted against ManderBon. The
chairman of the delegation, who u
'the author hereof, regrets that h<
among the number leaving the
jhaPf and feels that he is greatly re
sponsible for the county being et
badly misrepresented.
= W. E. Axxnr, Washington corres
pendent of the State Journal, hat
' the following to say in regard t<
.Senator Thurston in bis eommunica
tion of April 19: “Senator Thurs
| ton is expected bade from Nebraski
* :'V 'S
'MJ:,
tomorrow, accompanied by Mra
’ Thurston, who will remain with him
until the close of the session. He
’ will return to the senate with added
, political prestige. His control of
the state convention on Wednesday
last was apparently so absolute and
the opposition so insignificant that
Senator Thurston will at once take
rank among efficient political manip
ulators, able to prophesy what t.he
party will do in his state because
assured in advance of what action
he himself desires.”
It was a noticeable fact in the con
vention that most of the noise made
by viva voce vote came from the
galleries. Even when a motion was
made to table ex-Governor Crounse’s
famous resolution, ninety per cent,
of the ayes came from above. We
really do not believe that 300 dele
gates voted one way or the other.
This, to a man who was there to
ratify the slate and “breathe by stip
ulation,” indicated the presence of
an undercurrent; it was like the
calm, unruffled bosom of a lake,
which gives no evidence of the com
motion that may be going on below.
The Frontier is not prepared to
indorse the resolutions, but it sees
in them a piece of fine irony.
It looks now as thongh Mr. Man
derson allowed himself to be drawn
into an ambnsb. In the compromise
made with Mr. Thurston he agreed
to abandon the field and make no
fight for delegations to the conven
tion, the consideration being that he
should be named as second choice.
In conformity with the agreement
the Manderson men of the state got
oat of the ditches and gave up their
arms, and the result was, of course,
that the convention was composed
almost wholly of McKinley men,
whereas, had the Manderson men
made a fight the result would have
been different. Now the McKinley
men when they met in convention
took advantage of their strength and
refused to indorse Mr. Manderson.
A Frontier reporter in looking
over an old record of the supervisors
last Tuesday inadvertantly turned
to the report made by N. Fedora—
examiner of state treasurers—in
1804, relative to the condition of
Treasurer Mullen’s office. It shows
a balanoe that should be on hand, of
$34,130.05, while the amount of
cash on hand and funds in bank sub
ject to check is only $33,073.46,
leaving a balance unaccounted for of
$162.50. We would like to inquire
of the reformers why the thusness
of this. How did it happen that
Mr. Mullen was unable to make his
books balanoe at that time, and has
the discrepancy been fixed up?
There is nothing like keeping the
people informed upon these little
matters and an explanation is surely
in order. The Sun and Beacon
Light may both speak.
Mat Daugherty and Dr. Warner,
of the Sixth district, were both can
didates for delegate at large, (the
makers of the slate having gracious
ly left one plaoe blank) and before
the convention a caucus of the Sixth
district delegates was called to in
dorse some man from our district, it
being understood that the conven
tion would indorse the nominee of
the caucus. When the delegates had
assembled in the hall, a couple of
hundred strong, a man arose and
read a stipulation signed by Daugh
erty and Warner, which was to the
effect, that the caucus waB to choose
one or the other of them; the stipu
lation even went so far as to name
the chairman and secretary of the
caucus. Notwithstanding the fact
that several other gentlemen wished
their names presented as candidates,
the caucus decided that it was met
to decide between the stipulators,
and a vote was taken which favored
Daugherty by a slender majority.
It was as rank and rotten a piece of
work as a republican was ever party
to, and the result was that the
t counties refused to be bound by the
result and Daugherty was defeated
, in the convention. The idea of two
men stipulating what the district
should do made many delegates pretty
warm under the collar. Coming
[ down fiom the meeting we heard one
, gentleman remark: “By H—1! I
am breathing right now by stipula
tion, and taking short breaths at
I that.” And that was the way with
l ' most of us.
KINKAID AND CONGBESS.
There is not the least doubt
among those who are acquainted
with the political situation in the
Sixth district but that J udge Kin
kaid could get more votes from the
democratic party as a caneidate for
congress than any man in this dis
trict, provided the democrats put up
no candidate.—Crawford Tribune.
At the recent republican county
convention of Holt county resolu
tions were unanimously adopted en
dorsing Judge H. P. Kinkaid as a
candidate for the nomination for
congress and extending to that gen
tleman the privilege of selecting his
own delegation to the convention to
be hold at North Platte in July.
The county convention of Dawes
county endorsed Kinkaid’s candi
dacy and the delegates from that
county are instructed for him, and
it is significant that good workers in
that county who were opposed to
him two years ago and to whom his
failure to secure the nomination at
that time has been charged, are
right in line for him this year,
llock county also endorsed Kinkaid
in Convention and delegates from
there will be for him.
All this goes to prove that Kin
kaid is a candidate for congress, and
a real, live candidate he will prove
to be. A number of good men are
in the field for the nomination and
the preliminary contest promises to
be quite interesting, but it is recog
nized by all who understand the sit
uation that Kinkaid is the man who
would prove the strongest at the
polls and therefore he should be
made the nominee. It is all right
to predict a great republican victory
in November and everything indi
cates that such will be the case so
far as the national and state tickets
are concerned, but the nominee in
the Sixth congressional district has
got to make the fight of his life if
he succeeds in his contest, and if a
mistake is made it is bound to result
in disaster.
Judge Kinkaid has demonstrated
the fact that he is a vote-getter. Ue
is not popular with the machine
politicians, but he is popular with
the masses and it is the latter to
whom the nominee must look for
support. The machine has brought
defeat in the past, but under the
ballot laws now existing the machine
has not the power to carry out its
work at the polls that it possessed
under the old law, and it is time
that the masses were permitted to
have something to say in the matter.
The people of the Sixth district
differ from those of any other dis
trict in the state, and what would
prove an element of strength in a
candidate in some of the districts
would be a fatal weakness in this,
It is not friendship to an aspirant
nor strengthening to the party to help
bring about a nomination which can,
not but result in defeat, and it is far
better to recognize the weak points
of a candidate before the convention
than after the votes are counted.
Kinkaid possesses more elements
of strength and fewer elements of
weakness than any man who can be
nominated and that is why he
should be the nominee of the oon
vention.—Sioux County Journal.
Poor
Economy
By all means be economical, but
don’t be too economical where health
or life is concerned. The matter of
a few cents should never count be
tween the old, standard and reliable
preparations and the new, obscure,
and in many cases, almost worthless
substitutes.
tons
Emulsion
of Cod-liver Oil and Hypophosphites
is as much the standard for all con
ditions of wasting in children and
adults where the lungs are weak or
affected, as quinine is the standard for
malarial fevers. When you go to a
store to get Scott’s Emulsion, don't
be fooled into taking something else
they say •• Is just as good." It isn’t.
Scott’s Emulsion has gained its repu
tation by its superior merit, and noth
ing of its kind has ever equalled it
Your doctor will tell you that.
All druggists sell Scott's Emulsion.
