THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
The republican county convention
held in O’Neill last Saturday was
anything but harmonious, and the
ring work and jobbery carried
through conducive to anything but
republican interests and success.
It seems that the rank and file of
the republicans learn nothing by
experience, and that adversity holds
for them no lesson worth remember
ing. When the party had a safe
majority of six hundred in the
county it did not seem so criminal
for a few men to attempt to run
things, even though they made an
hundred or so enemies by so doing,
but now, when (he party is in the
minority, with but a shadow of a
hope of winning, the man who
calmly and deliberately jeopardizes
its little chance of success for the
purpose of gratifying some per
sonal pique, or to deliver the goods
wanted by some politician in the
eastern part of the state, becomes
an enemy to the party’s interests.
We cannot understand how or
why it is that the delegates allow
themselves to fall into the traps set
by these designing politicians year
after year. It seems that they be
come hypnotized to such an extent
that they fail to realize that they
are being worked that some one else
may reap the glory and the reward.
After witnessing the exhibition—
or we might say the exemplification
of the work—last Saturday, we do
not hesitate to admit that the re
publican party of the county is in
as bad condition as it ever was.
The element that wrecked it in
the first plaoe and brought dishonor
upon its name and odium upon its
individual members seems to be
again in the saddle after a short
term of penance in the valley of
humiliation, which lies among the
hills of obscurity.
We do not refer in any manner
to the nominees of the convention.
They are all gentlemen of integrity
and republicans and worthy the
highest confidence of the people.
The greatest cause for sorrow and
tears was the manner in which the
state delegation was selected. That
was where the manipulators must
get in their work in order to sustain
their reputations among politicians
abroad. The thing was out and
nailed on the fence to dry and when
it was unfolded in the convention it
was in prime condition. The oom
, mittee to select the delegates was
carefully prepared by the chan man
before a motion had been made to
create such committee. No mi«tsVe
i was made. The majority of the com*
mittee was “right.” Doc McDonald,
the man who paraded himself about
the City of O’Neill • and said he
would not support Frank Phillips
| for county dork, was chairman.' The
Chairman of the convention, who
appointed him, did so with a full
knowledge of his record. He acted
V'
advisedly. A thought occurs to us
here: If the republicans of the
county are pleased to honor these
populistic Falstaffian half-breeds,
what inducement have they to hold
out to cause men to vote the ticket
straight f It seems that in these
latter days a man must be considered
doubtful in order to secure recogni
tion. We find no other fault with
the personnel of the delegation. We
do not question their right to have
opinions relative to aspirants for
state offices, but we protest against
a put up job for their selection. S.
J. Weekes, chairman of the delega
tion, is a mistake; he was not on the
slate and was elected by accident
This language by The Frontier
may seem to some people a little
odd, but we want it distinctly under
stood that hereafter and forever we
are through with swallowing every
thing labelled “republican.” While
our faith in the principles of repub
licanism is abiding and we shall
preach the word according to our
light, it does not follow that we
must sanction the dirty work of any
set of politicians and we don’t pro
pose to do it We have done it in
the past, for the sake of harmony,
but we won’t do it again. We have
supported the nominees of republi
can conventions when the task made
us sick; we couldn’t look an honest
populist in tfye face, but we have
arrived at the death-bed conclusion
that the best way to assist republi
canism is to do a little house
cleaning.
“The best laid schemes o’ mice
an’ men gang aft a-gley.”
Nebraska was highly honored by
the selection of Senator Thurston as
chairman of the St Louis conven
tion. The senator shines wherever
he is placed.
The populists have called their
county convention to meet at the
same time and plaoe that the re
publican senatorial convention is
called. This is a piece of boorish
ness, and beneath the dignity of a
political party. ,
John Aldebson had a nice follow
ing in the oounty convention for
representative, but he took his de
feat manfully and himself moved to
make the nomination of his oppon
ent unanimous. Mr. Alderson’s re
publicanism is never off color.
Senatob Akers, of Scotts Bluffs
oounty, was in tho city last Satur
day, and attended the county re
publican oounty convention. He
was called upon for a speech and
made a five-minute talk that was
well received by the convention.
The senator is a candidate for con
gress, and judging from the ability
displayed in his little address he
would make an able representative.
The populists admit that the nom
inations made by the republicans
last Saturday are good ones. And
so they are. Messrs. Bice and
Trommershausser are all that could
be asked. They are both gentlemen
of more than ordinary ability, and
their integrity is above suspicion.
E. H. Benedict for- oounty attorney
was a happy nomination, and he will
make a splendid race. The tioket
ought to be elected.
Tint Frostiib acknowledges re
ceipt of a handsome and cordial in
vitation to be present at the celebra
tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the Omaha Bee, whioh is to be
held at the Bee building on the
evening of June 19. The Bee is a
great newspaper and aoredittothe
state, and we would like first rate
to be present on that particular oc
casion and pay tribute to its great
ness.
-■ i --
Piorut innred to this altitude
should ponder well upon the matter
before they decide to bid farewell
to our bracing breezes and healthful
climate to seek an eldorado among
the everglades of the sunny south
land. The sad fate of those who
left O’Neill to make their homes in
the soldiera’ colony at Fitzgerald,
Oa., should be an everlasting warn
ing. Late advices from that point
say that the settlers are dying off by
the score, and that before August
fully two-thirds of the inhabitants
will have fled as from a pestilence
to nortera climes.
The Fbohtibb would like first rate
to accompany Bra Watson, of the
Coleridge Blade, on a little excur
sion on his hobby of free trade, but
we have some consideration for our
readers. These tariff discussions
are a great deal like grocery store
debates: The affirmative makes an
assertion, the negative denies, and
after a great waste of wind and jaw
bone the matter ends where it began.
The people of the United States
today need no farther light on the
subject; a learned dissertation is
not necessary when they are con
fronted by a condition; newspaper
articles are available only in matters
theory. In answer to Bro. Watson’s
question, “What do you expect pro
tection to do for the country that it
has not already done ?” we will state
frankly that we don’t expect it to do
any more. If it will only do as
much in the future as it has done in
the past we will be satisfied, and one
of the great principles of republi
canism more fully vindicated.

THE SAFE STORE'
O’Neill, Neb.
There isn’t a store in the whole country that sells clothing as
"The Nebraska” does. It is an exceptional store, it is a reliable store,
it is an absolutely safe store. The price today is the price tomorrow
and the next day, and the price to one is the price to all We have
no favorites, we make no discounts, and we never resort to catch
penny methods of marking some goods low in order to sell you other
goods high. Our practice of instantly refunding money when goods
don’t suit is the best proof you can have that our goods and prices
are all right. For eleven years wc have been building up a vast bus
iness on these principles and our business was never so large, our
prices never so low, as they are . this spring.
Send for our catalogue. It contains samples of goods and will
save you a geeat many dollars above what you have to pay for the
same qualities at home. It is a book that ought to be in every
clothing buyer’s hand.
