CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Holt county republican central
committee is hereby called to meet in

2 o'clock p. M., in the office of S. J.
Weekes, for the purpose of fixing a
date for the county convention and for
the transaction of such other business as
may properly come before the meeting.
S. J. Wxbkbs, Chairman.
Clyde Kino, Secretary.
Doc Mathews has announced him
self as a candidate for the legisla
ture down in Arkansas. If he de
feats the Clayton gang he will have
made a good fight.

Saturday at the office of 8. J.
Weekes, in O’Neill, for the purpose
of fixing a date for the next sena
torial convention.
,, THI Spencer Advocate has
changed ite politics from the demo
cratic brand to McKinley republi
canism and says that those having
any grievance on account of the
change may call at the office any
hour of the day for satisfaction.
! If Gutound should be nominat
ed by the democrats for president
and then get tangled up in a war
with Spain it wonld probably have
some effect upon the next presiden
tial election. A great many Ameri
cans wonld not like to remove him
from command at snob a time.
Ham Kautzman is a candidate for
delegate from this district to the
national populist convention. He
will probably be elected. His elec
tion will be a bunch of sour grapes
to the Sun faction of the party in
this oounty, bnt they will have to
like them. We do not believe they
cain muster a dozen votes in the
county convention to oppose Ham's
indorsement.
Thi Sun aooused Kautzman of
being a thief and a perjurer.
Kautzman said he would give the
-Sun a reasonable length of time in
which to apologize, and if the apol
ogy was not forthcoming he would
see if there was not a way to force a
retraction. The Sun apologized by
reiteration and now it remains to be
•een what Kautzman will do. about
if. Will he throw up his hand and
quit the gamef If he does he is an
old duffer and a bluffer.

Tn editor of. Tn Fxoxtiib, un
like some people, doea not profess
to know .everything, and one of the
things he does not know ia, what
free ailver would do for thin coun
try. He knows, however, that he ia
oppoaed to free ailver at 18 to 1
until after the McKinley tariff shall
have had another inning and he has
watched ita effect upon our monetary
and industrial troubles. If a pro
tective tariff, after a fair trial, does
not loosen things up then we will
think the-silver problem ia about
solved.

Whan our oily brethren do not clip
«n item from these columns we
take it for granted that they did not
find anything worth clipping, and j
let it go at that. Anyway we are |
not running a paper for the purpose

change editors. If they find any
thing they want they are welcome to
it, and .if they don’t there is no
harm done.
Tax following extract from the
New York Tribune’s London corres
pondent contain’s a moral of some
magnitude that is of interest to the
the public just now, says the Fre
mont Tribune:
The American presidential canvass at
tracts little attention in the English
press. The Times has a long editorial
review today of the prospects of Mc
Kinley and other candidates, winding
up with the discovery that Mr. Platt is
not a cynic, but "an Intelligent citizen,
well versed in the politics of his coun
try.” The St. James Gazette, with
more astuteness, reminds the Cobdenites
that France now baa her most promi
nent protectionist as premier, and that
the president of the United States will
probably be an extreme and unrepentant
protectionist named McKinley; so that
the triumphs once confidently predicted
by the cocksure free-traders cannot be
regarded as imminent. Some English
Journals speak doubtfully of McKinley's
record on the currency question, not be
ing aware that Ohio has been since the
civil war the great battleground for
honest money, and that republicans
there have always been on the right
side. McKinley will never be a popular
candidate in England; his tariff dealt
Bradford, Swansea and other industrial
centres some telliog blows.
POINTED AND PERTINENT.
It probablj would take more than
a foreign war to elect Cleveland
president again.
Senators Gorman and Vest on the
stomp for Cleveland will be a sight
worth going miles to see.
Joe Pulitzer has hoodooed the
third-term movement by offering to
support it, conditionally.
It looks now like it would be
McKinleyism against Glevelandism,
which will mean a walkover for the
former. _
The time will soon come when the
wealthy man who dies and leaves
only one widow will be. spoken of
as having been eccentric.
It is safe to say that neither Sen
ators Tillman nor Vest are included
in Mr. Cleveland’s scheme of a har
monious democratic party.
Mr. Cleveland’s dream of a per
fect civil servioe means a smoothly
working Cleveland machine, which
Ban be controlled from Washington
in every state.
Prince Bismark would, if properly
approached, give General Weyler
some pointers on what comes of
threatening to resign every time the
game doesn’t go his way.
The difference between Grover
Cleveland and Chicago is as wide as
their respective mottoes—“I will”
and “I won’t”—but Grover wants to
boss that convention all the same.
There is always occupation for
the professional liars. By the time
the rainy, season drives them out of
Cuba the democratic editors of the
United States will be bidding for
their services.
The officers of the North Atlantic
squadron having tired of Hampton
Boads, Secretary Herbert kindly
ordered the rendezvous changed to
New York harbor. , Perhaps they
may yet have to go to sea.
It will be a comparatively easy
matter to get the right witnesses
before the senate committee which
will investigate those bond issues,
but making them tell all they know
will be another thing entirely.
„ Senator Brioe has given indica
tions of a desire to sacrifice ex
Governor Campbell once more by
giving him the democratic presiden
tial nomination. “Jimmy” ought to
be used to the sacrifice act by this
time. _
Well well! Mr. Bookwaltei, once
a prominent Ohio democrat, pokes
his head out of the valley of ob
scurity long enough to predict that
the Chicago convention will adopt a
free rilver platform and nominate
Cleveland. Truly, that would be a
democratic combination, indeed.
Now gentlemen, nearly all of the
delegates to the St Louis conven
tion have been selected, suppose we
let them make the platform and
name the candidates. They are
representative republicans and can
be trusted to do the right thing for
the country, as well as for the party.
KINKAID AND CONGRESS.
Hon. M. P. Kinkaid came tip
from O’Neill Tuesday evening,
stopping in Bassett over night, re
turning Wednesday morning. The
judge has many warm friends here
who would be pleased to snpport
him for congress next November.—
Bassett Eagle.
Judge Kinkaid attended the
meeting of the irrigation board in
this city last Friday and incidentally
put up a few panels of barb wire
fence for the congressional nomina
tion. The judge is beyond doubt
the strongest candidate the republi
cans could name, but this district
will be represented in the next con
gress by a populist—Chadron (pop)
Signal-Recorder.
It is now but a short time until
the time for holding the* Sixth dis
trict congressional convention. The
various candidates have buckled on
their armor and are now busily en
gaged in making the best of the
preliminary skirmishing. The con
tuuviuu wi KiTw j ocsi a tau^ub ud
a good lesson, and one that we will
do well to heed at this time. The
nominee of that convention was . a
dyjsd in the wool republican, a good
man, bat he had an uphill fight to
make against the populist candidate
(Kem) from the beginning, and 'be
sides he had engendered a few bitter
animosities in the convention. This
of course weakened his candidacy
somewhat, and although he made a
great fight it was a foregone con
clusion that he could not succeed.
It behooves the republicans of this
district to ponder well these things
and go to the convention determined
to name the strongest man regard
less of personal friendship. We
want a winner this time and we
have such a man aspiring for the
nomination. The people who at
tended the last congressional con
vention know well that the senti
ment of that body was against the
nomination of an experiment, in the
face of the fact that there was an
opportunity to name a man who was
well tried, and who, in his part of
the district, was a tower of strength.
Let us profit by our mistake and go
to the people this fall with a candi
date who will not be compelled to
make a fight on any other than re
publican lines.--Sidney Poinarcl.
PRESS COMMENT^
Our esteemed contemporary at
O’Neill, Tmt Frontier, asks how
’Gene Moore expects to be nominat
ed for governor. Like all other
candidates who are nominated, good
friends. He will have the votes .and
that is how he will be nominated.
And why, is because the people want
him and the people are running
things this year.—Randolph .Re
porter. i ...
There is so muoh dissatisfaction
over the date set for the North
Platte congressional convention that
it is altogether probable that the
date will be changed from July 3 to
a later day. Those who anticipate
attending the convention are patri*
otic citizens, and they base their
objection on the fact that it compels
them to be away from home on the
Fourth of July.—Ouster County
Republican.
The successful farmer has
learned by experience that
some grains require far differ
ent soil than others. He
knows that a great deal de
pends on right planting at the
right time. No use complain
ing in summer that a mistake
was made in spring. Decide
before seed-time. The best
time to treat coughs and colds
Is before the seeds, or germs,
of consumption have begurt
their destructive work.
