The republican senatorial conven tion of tbe Thirteenth eenatorial district will be held in the court-house in the city of O'Neill, Neb., on Saturday, July 11, at 2 o’clock r. u , for the pur pose of placing in nomination a candi date for state senator from this district. The basis of representation is one del egate from each county, and one addi tional delegate for each 100 votes or major fraction thereof cast at the last general election for T. L. Norval for supreme judge. Tbe counties of the district will be entitled to delegatee as follows: Boyd.4' Garfield.8 Holt.a | Wheeler.9 Total.17 It is recommended that no proxies be allowed, but that delegates present cast the full vote of their delegation. D. C. Harrison, Chairman. Frank Phillips, Secretary. 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. 56 phoephlte*.
