The convention for the purpose of
piecing in nomination a supervisor for

held at the Minneola school house on
Saturday/ September, 4, 1897, at 2 p. m.
The representation will be the same as

Wh. Griffiths, Chairman.
The Semi Annual clearance sale
at Mann’s begins Monday, August
30, continuing one week. A dis
count of from 80 to 83-3 per cent
will be made on all dress goods,
silks, calicos, summer underwear,
summer shoes, and oxfords, ging
hams and percales. In fact every
thing in summer goods and many
articles that are not. 8-1.
We might write an article of some
length relating how a popular young
gentleman of this city went out for a
drive last Sunday evening with a couple
of young ladies, and how the horse got
away from them and also from the
buggy, and came home alone, and how
they walked in through the sand leaving
the buggy to Us fate. We might also
remark—and not untruthfully—that the
young gentleman blushes and is visibly
embarrassed, and endeavors to change
the subject whenever it is mentioned.
We might mention all this and more too,
but we wont, for they are friends of
ours, or if they weren't before they will
be now, after they see how we are
helping them to keep the little episode
"on the quiet."

The populists of Holt county met In
convention in the court-house in O’Neill
lest Saturday, August 81, for the pur
pose of placing in nomination, a full
county ticket, and to elect a county
central committee and fourteen dele
gatee to the state convention.
The convention was called to order
by Q. A. McCutchan. Hugh O’Neill
was chosen temporary’ chairman and E.
S. Eves temporary secretary.
In accordance with a motion that pre
vailed, the chairman appointed the fol
lowing committees:
Credentials—Wm. Bedford, James
Pinkerman, Thomas Malloy.
Permanent organisation—Dan Cronin,
Charles Bigler, Samuel Howard.
Resolutions—Jerome Grimes, Barney
Hynes, Darwin Cole.
Order of business—S. Leslie, Will
Bradstreet, Wilson Stewart.
After the appointment of the var
ious committees, the convention ad
journed until 1:80 p. m.
Even this early in the game. It was
very plain to an observer that the
“ring” had the convention in almost
complete control, but that there would
be a vigorous effort made in the after
noon by those opposed to “ring” rule to
break the slate that had been prepared.
AraanooH.
The convention wu called to order by
Chairman O’Neill, and the report of the
committee on permanent organisation
taken up and read. As was to be ex
pected from the pereonel of the commit
tee, they reported in favor of making
the temporary organization permanent,
thus giving the "ring” the presiding
officer. There waa considerable oppo
sition to the acceptance of this report,
but the slate was not even cracked, let
alone broken, and the report was
adopted!
The report of the committee on cre
dentials was next taken up and read.
It gave seats in the convention to 133
delegates, and waa accepted aa satisfac
tory to both sides.
Committee on resolutions then handed
in the following report:
We, the people’s Independent party of
Holt county, Nebraska, in convention
assembled, hereby reaffirm our faith in
the principals enunciated by the nation
al organisation in past political contests
and ratified by the the independent
party at its last state convention.
We heartily endorse the able and
efficient administration of the state
affairs under the guidance of the cour-1
ageous governor, Silas A. Holcomb, and
his populistic colleagues. Our praise
and endorsement are also due and are
hereby extended to the independent and
intreped United States senator, William
V. Allen, and his populist associates in
the house of representatives, who have,
in season and out of season, stood a bul
wark and menace against the wicked
influences of the trusts and combines.
In happy contrast to the peculations
and other violations of trusts imposed
in republican county officials of Holt
county, are the two last terms of the
populist county officers. Taking charge
of the county affairs under the most
unfavorable and trying circumstances,
the populists of Holt county have
brought order out of chaos and placed
the county’s financial affairs on a safe
and solid basis.
We condemn the protective policy ,of
the republican party in passing a tariff
bill dictated by the uusts in the Interests
of the classes against the masses.
We condemn in unmeasured terms the
actions of the republican party in this
state, who have for the past thirty years
had control of the state government, in
allowing a ring to loot the treasury and
scandal the good reputation of the state.
We favor the uniting and co-operation
of all reform elements which have in
view the same ends, for only by such
methods can the common enemy be
routed from its gold plated fortifications
and triumph of the common people be
obtained.
une thing particularly noticeable dur
ing the leading of the resolution! was,
that there was a general lack of the
enthusiasm that two and three years
ago greeted the eame set of resolutions;
and what cheering was done was started
by the "ring" leaders, and carried out
by their followers, solely for the effect
they hoped it would have in quieting
the opposition of a "ring” wearied party.
The report of the committee on order
of business was next read and adopted,
and was followed by the election of the
county central committee.
This ended the preliminary skirmish
ing, and after waiting a moment for
each side to draw a long breath, the
chairman opened the ball by announcing
that nominations for treasurer would be
in order.
For a moment neither side made a
move, then a delegate got up and made
a motion that all candidates for the con
office of treasurer withdraw from the
▼ention. He had hardly finished speak
ing when Chairman O’Neill sprang to
his feet and opposed the motion on the
grounds that it would not leave enough
delegates in the convention to transact
the business. A squabble ensued and
just aa things were getting warmed up
nicely, Eautzman announced that be
was not a candidate for the office. That
changed the current of thought, and a
calm ensued while the Hopkins and
Henry (notion! were buay bulling
