badly demoralized. Keep them

Thx undertaker has released his
option on the Holt County Inde
pendent and it will probably exist
a few months longer.
lr wk were the Plain Dealer man
we would not mention “drinking” or
“whiskey slinging” with such an
/ example of “thirstiness” making a
stagger for office as is constantly be
• fore his eyes. •
Eooini Moose has plead guilty of
embezzlement of the money received
from the insurance companies, but
claims that it was not a crime to
, take it. Its surprising what qneer
ideas some people have.
Biduir saw the handwriting on the
wall. It was printed in letters of
gold (Palmer & Buckner kind) and
read: “Populism is Doomed! Down
With the Court-Honse Bing! Get
From IJunder!” Odie took advan
tage of the warning as he did not
. want to be financially interested
; whan the people downed the ring.
.;•> We regret to see Mr. Biglin leave
the ranks of the qnill pushers he
' joined about three .months ago. But
he can rest assured of the fact that
* he gave the populists of Holt county
the best paper they ever had pro
fessing that faith. This is quite a
distinction when you realize how
t hard it is to get up a “good” pop
paper.
Govebnob O’Febbell of Virginia
is a democrat, but he says in a re
. oent letter: “Free, unlimited and
independent coinage is doomed and
' no strong political party of the pres
ent or future will ever put itself to
death by declaring for it in national
convention.” The activity of the
gold democrats shows that an in
creasing number of the party take
the same view.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
This is the season of the year|
when the “doubtful voter” fares
high and ia right in his glory. He
^ V i*> to all appearances, the most
- j popular man in the country, at least
' be i* the most sought after. And if
his constitution is not utterly ruined
by a surfeit of honeyed words, cam
paign cigars and sioh truck, it ia
because he has beoome so used to
them that they have no effeot on
him—especially the honeyed words.
I* it isn't reoorded here it didn’t
happen.—Independent.
Strange! It happened all right
i enough, but we looked the columns
of the Independent through and
. through and could not find a single
t about John Stewart, the popu
list candidate for sheriff, striking a
fifteen year old boy in the mouth
• . with his clenched fist and hewing
; , him down. John tries to explain it
£ away by saying that he was not re
sponsible for his actions at the time.
>i Well, that may satisfy the voters
ofHoltoountyand it may not. It
| otrikse us ss being a very poor
V excuse for a cowardly action. *
The pop candidates are receiving
the Klondike chill from Holt count]
taxpayers. It will be a hard freezi
after election.
Wz understand the O’Neill Sut
will set today and will never agair
shed its luminious (f) light upon
Holt’s metroppolis, its editor and
publisher, C. C. McHugh, having
purchased the Independent O’Neill
has never been large enough to sup
port three newspapers and, we
understand, the pops have been
figuring on this move for months.
It will be gratifying (?)t to Ham
Kautzman to learn that his pet is
being guided upon the turbulent
journalistic seas by McHugh and the
oonrt house syndicate.
O. M. Collins is doing drinking
and whiskey slinging this year by
proxy. John Skirving acting tin a
willing substitute.—Atkinson Plain
Dealer.
Talk about a clean campaign.
Why some of these pop editors
would be lost if they attempted it.
But, Eddie boy, there will be no
necessity for John Skirving or any
other man to drink any whiskey
while John M. Stewart is around
and, judging from the reports that
come from Atkinson, he has been
“around” quite frequently the past
few months.
Do the people want to see Mullen’s
pets feast forevever at the publio
crib f If not place the seal of dis
aproval upon the methods of the
gang by voting the straight republi
can ticket and you will be happy in
the thought that you have assisted in
ridding Holt county of the most
gigantic ring octopus that ever en
thralled her politics; an octopus
whose gourmandish greed is never
satiated until it saps the life blood
of its opponents. Turn them out and
let the proud bird of liberty spread
its wings above the dome of Holt’s
oapitol.
One has only to go ihto the
neighborhood of John Alderson at
Chambers to discover the popularity
of H. R. Henry as a candidate for
oounty treasurer.—Plain Dealer.
Eves must be a very poor proof
reader, for its patent to everyone
that the sylable “un” should precede
the word “popularity” in the above
paragraph. Ab it reads now it is
very amusing. Of course Eves may
have meant it as a joke, he’s such a
joaher one never knows when to
believe him, but we hope, now that
we have called his attention to it,
that he won’t be so excruciatingly
funny again. It tires us to laugh
so hard.
It is amusing to read some of the
idiotic mutterings of the populist
editors. Men whose only art and
whose sole weapon, during the time
they have been in the newspaper
business, is abuse, trying to convict
this paper of vilifying and slander
ing their candidates. , This paper
has not been abusive. We do not
believe in it, but We do not propose
to sit idly by and see the populist
papers teeming with articles reflect
ing upon the honor and integrity of
the republican nominees without
comparing the merits of the men for
the different positions, and all fair
minded men know that the republi
can candidates will profit by the
comparison. The most of the mud
slinging has been done by the Plain
Dealer, the personal organ of John
M. Stewart. He will probably re
gret it before the campaign is over.
Wb wonder why it is that the
pop papers of the county fill up
their columns week after week with
abuse directed toward the republi
can candidates, and never say a
word of good for their own. Is it
because there is nothing good to be
said about their candidates? To
read die pop papers one would
think there was only one set of can
didates in the field—the republican
—and that they were imps just
turned loose from the lower regions,
whereas a finer set of men was nevei
placed in nomination by any party.
The trouble with the pops is, the)
are so sore over their own ticket
they don’t know just what they art
saying. Let ’em roar. Their rave
ings don’t hurt the republican can
didates, and it is a merciful act tc
allow their own candidates to drop
quietly out of the race, without
exposing further their well-known
; unfitness to occupy the offices to
' which they aspire, in a fruitless
i attempt to find something praise
worthy to say of them.
Last fall, when wheat was away
down to 30 cents per bushel and
less, flour was correspondingly low,
but it took pretty hard hustling on
our part to get one sack a month,
because the farmer, not being able
to get anything out of his wheat
could not pay his subscription; the
merchant hud no trade, because the
farmer had no mouey wherewith to
purchase his goods, therefore be
could not afford to advertise; and
between the two we wore like tp
starve before spring. So we got out
and hustled for McKinley prosper
ity and $ wheat, and we got it.
But what is the result ? The farmer
is so busy marketing his Is wheat
and purchasing supplies for his
family that he never thinks about
the man who brought him all this
prosperity—the editor, and Bill Mc
Kinley—and that little unpaid sub
scription bill; the merchant is so
busy selling goods to the farmer
that he hasn’t time to stop and write
an ad, and besides he isn’t Bure that
he needs to advertise just now, he
has more trade than he can handle;
flour has gone up 50 cents per sack,
and b’ gosh the prospects for our
starving this winter are fully as
good as they were last. Such is the
life of a printer.

William Dickxbsom was born in
Ohio in 1852. From Ohio he
moved with hia parents to. Wiscon
sin, where he resided until 1873,
when he came to Holt county and
homesteaded the quarter section of
land about a mile southeast of
O’Neill that was afterward pur
chased and used as a fair ground.
In 1878 he moved to Atkinson,
where he has Bince lesided, an
honored and respected citizen.
He served as deputy sheriff under
B. S. Gillespie at a time when that
office was no sinecure, involving, as
it did, the encounters with gangs
of desperate men, men who placed
so little value on human life that
they would commit murder on the
slightest provocation. He assisted
in the arrest of that notorious horse
thief, Doc Middleton, which was the
first step made toward breaking up
and driving out the organized band
of horse thieves and outlaws that
infested Holt county; and if elected
sheriff of Holt county this fall, as he
is sure to be, will make the county
too hot a place for the petty thieves
that again infest it, and when sent
to serve a legal paper on a man will
serve it, and not carry it around in
his pooket for a week, - after telling
the man that he has it, just became
the man happens to be quite a
prominent member of the same
political party as himself—as has
been done in this county, and not
very long ago either.
