The court house ring in unison:
“We are doomed!’’
- Quest: Why did John Stewart
transfer his property in ^Atkinson to
Mr. Davis and why did the Plain
Dealer not mention it?
Dos’t be taken in by any sympa
thy racket that may be sprung on
you, but vote for Harnish and the
upbuilding of the schools of Holt
county.
A Man who makes no pretentions
or effort to pay , his honest debts
should not be honored by the people
of Holt county. The election of a
man of this kind would be placing a
premium on rascality and dishonesty.
HNM. ■
Whek the time arrives for the
taxpayers of Holt county to oast
their ballots they will not forget to
deal a death blow to the Holt county
ring. Vote the republican ticket
straight apd set the stamp of dis
approval upon ring methods.
Thus is ho question bat . what
James G. Hannah is better qualified
for the office of county superintend
ent than is his opponent, and from
present indications the people rea
lise that tact. 'Vote for James
Hifrniah add the upbuilding oi Holt
county schools.

I* is rumored upon the streets of
O’Neill that J. P. Mullen will go
into the banking business at Ewing
when his term of office expires.
How nice it would be for him to
hare his man Henry county trees
. urer so he could get all the eonnty
money he would need in the bank.
It is a smooth scheme but it will
not work for the people are going to
elect Honest : John, Alderaon.
“Ton can drive a horse to water
but you can’t make him drink,”
remarked a prominent populist in
this city Tuesday. “And the ring
gang forced the convention to nom
inate their men but they can’t force
the populists of Holt oounty to vote
for them. We believe it is about
time to turn down this ring outfit
and the Barest way to do it is to
vote the straight republican tioket,
and that is what I am going to do.”
There are others.
H Two weeks ago we stated that we
had received a letter from Hon. C.
J. Smyth regarding our criticism of
the way the democratic state con
vention was manipulated and that
we would publish same last week.
; But circumstances over which we
: had no control prevented getting
aame set in type. We have been
abort on help but long on copy.
. The democrat much regrets all
f these circumstances and *!■» regrets
V the mntihine work that has prevent
Ms.-lhe democrats from having the
proper kind of candidates for
| supreme judge in this state. Six
s years ago they were put in a box
•ud the writer, choosing the less of
two evils, supported Mr. Post for
supreme judge, aind it looks now as
though the same course would be
the best to pursue, when all things
are carefully considered. Honor
able defeat is always preferable to a
victory with strings to it. No true
democrat can conscientiously bow
the knee to trickery or disreputable
means in securing place or power
and it seems as though the machines
have no choice as to whether Sulli
van or Post is elected. Such being
the case, is it not good honest poli
tics to rebuke the machine that
turned down the choice of Nebraska
democrats in the nomination of
supreme judge.—Grand Island
Democrat.
We understand that Miss Anna
Lowrie, of Chicago, 111., is on the
way to O’Neill to accept the deputy
ship under Superintendent Morrow,
for which appointment Rev. Lowrie
is to deliver to Morrow the prohibi
tion vote on November 2. We
would scarcely expect a minister of
the gospel to so far forget his man
hood, much less his Christianity as
to be used as a tool and catspaw by
the rotten court-house “ring.” This
move on the part of Lowrie and
Morrow will only strengthen Mr.
Harnish’s chance to win.
Rev. Lowrie has promised the
vote of the prohibition party of Holt
county to Morrow, in consideration
whereof Morrow has promised that
Lowrie’s daughter shall be his assist
ant—when he is elected. We won
der if Mr. Lowrie was authorized by
the party to trade off their vote for
his own private interests, or whether
he made the trade without their
knowledge and consent. We rather
incline to the latter belief from the
fact that he has taken the field with
the „ avowed purpose of getting the
prohibition party to ratify his action.
Lr you wish to satisfy yourself as
to the ability of Morrow to fill the
office of county superintendent of
schools, just inquire of the school
teachers of your acquaintance in
regard to the last institute, and see
if they don’t say it was the greatest
farce they ever, witnessed. It is a
fact that teachers who started in
with the intention of attending the
full two weeks, went home in dis
gust at the end. of the first week,
and we know of one instanoe where
a teacher came from another county
intending to stay the full term, but
quit in three days.
John M. Stewart was down from
Atkinson Tuesday, and in conver
sation with the editor said we were
making a hard fight against him and
he wanted ns to be careful and have
good authority for what we pub
lished about him. We were of the
opinion that he was being treated
fairly by the republican press of
Holt county, and we inquired what
statements had been made regard
ing him that were not correct, and
the only thing he denied was having
an interest in the Plain Dealer. He
said that he had no interest in that
paper; that he had advanced the
money for Eves but that he thought
he had been about paid back in
advertising. He did not deny
hitting young McKathnie in the
mouth with his fist, but he said that
if he was not a candidate for office
there would be nothing said about
it. He also admitted the truthful
ness of the other items in last
week’s Frontier. We cannot see
how Mr. Stewart can expect to be
elected sheriff of Holt county. The
people are not ready to turn that
office over to a man who has no con
trol of hiB temper, and such a man
John Stewart appears to be.
While in O’Neill this week we
were met by a tew “true” populists
and a republican or two and were
informed by them that they were at
the depot in that city when the news
reached them that Lewis A Combs
was defeated for nomination for
supervisor in district No. 4, and
overheard one of the court-house
syndicate make the assertion that
“we have won out again.” Now we,
as populists of this end, knew some
thing was rotten in Denmark, but
had no idea that our supervisor con
vention was made up of a set of
delegates elected in a packed caucus,
the same as was done {trior to the
county convention.—People’s Advo
cates
If any of our populist readers
have doubted our assertions that
i there was a “ring” in full and
absolute control of the populist
party in Holt county, and that its
power reached to the uttermost
parts of the county, here is proof
postive in the statement of one of
their own papers. This “ring” not
only controls the party, and nomin
ates what men it chooses for office,
but furnishes the money for said
nominees to pay off their debts,
so they would make a better show
ing before the people. Some of
these debts have taken the form of
judgments, but are uncollectable
even then; others are in the form of
unpaid taxes, in some instances
amounting as high as $300 and of
several years * standing. Are these
the kind of men the voters of Holt
county are going to place in charge
of the county offices ? We think not.
Arthur Coykendall, who so dilli
gently scratches in the cesspools and
sewers of our populist candidates,
uncovering the rich morsels of refuse
corruption which are devoured with
goulish ravenousness and finally
disseminated through the diseased
brain of the Frontier quill pusher,
was dispatched to Atkinson Saturday
by their supreme master, John
Skirving, with instructions to “find
something against John Stewart.”
With obsequious Bervility Art
obeyed. We did not see him talk
ing to any of our representative
business men while he was in town,
but from his long conversation with
Searls and Scott, the two republican
attorneys, both known euemies of
Mr. Stewart, we imagine he got a
good report. The editorial columns
of The Frontier should this week
be headed “What Searls and Scott
said.”—Plain Dealer.
Since the fool foreman of the
Plain Dealer returned from Lincoln
and his job of cleaning cuspidores
in the state house, his head has been
so badly swelled that he thinks
'everything he writes is a literary
gem, and that Btuff like the above
is legitimate argument, and will con
vince the “ring” wearied populists
of Holt county that they ought
straightway to fall in line and sup
port his master—the man who
strikes women and children with his
fist and knocks them down—John
Stewart, in his race for the sheriff’s
office. After reading the article,
however, they will be more than
ever opposed to Stewart. Eves says
we went to “find something against
Stewart.” When one is in Atkinson
one doesn’t have to hunt around to
“find something against Stewart.”
Tou can’t talk to a man, woman or
child in the town without hearing
“something against Stewart.” Eves
also says that we “uncovered rich
morsels of refuse corruption” in the
past history of some of the populist
candidates; admitting just what The
Frontier has said all along, that the
pop candidates were corrupt to the
core, and were being boosted into
office by a “ring” as corrupt as
themselves. He further says that
we were sent to Atkinson by John
Skirving, and in that he lies; and
he lies again when he says that we
did not talk to any of the represen
tative business men. With one or
two exceptions, we met them all,
and they all told the same story cf
Stewart’s cruelty to women and
children and of his unquenchable
thirst for strong liquor, and of his
continual indulgence of that thirst.
If Eves had brainB enough to give
him a headache he would know that
neither politios nor common decency
permit such attacks, couched in such
language, oh either private citizens
politicians or candidates for office as
he has been making lately through
the columns of the Plain Dealer,
and unless they cease p. d. q. he
will hear something drop that will
open his eyes a little.
