By reading the court-house syndi
cate matter dished up in the Inde
pendent a person would believe H.
& R. Henry to be a saint. Ask any
business man in O’Neill who has
had dealings with him and you will
find out how he stands.
A man who is as narrow minded
as John M. Stewart should never be
honored by the eitisens of Holt
county, and we do not believe he
ever will be. In these days of
modern civilisation broad minded
men are needed in publio positions,
and such a man is William Dicker
,. son.
From all over this vast empire of
> Holt county comes words of enoour
agement and cheer for republicans.
The suocess of the entire ticket is
now assured and it is only a ques
tion of majorities. Keep the good
work going and make the republi
can majorities so large that it will
forever be a standing rebuke to
rings and ringsters.
Tan populists realise that their
ticket is doomed and are now mak
ing a desperate effort to save Mor
row from the wreck by offering to
trade any other man on the ticket
for votes for him. It is no use
boys, he is going down with the
rest There are hundreds of pops
.lists in Holt connty who are sick of
| ring role and they will kill off
(politically) the oonrt-honse syndi
px > cate and its pets on November 2.
Bn* Pattoh, security on ibe
sj Meserve bond for $150,000, has
transferred his visible means and is
i, without assets. He was incompe
: tent surety when he qualified and
the governor knew it The troth is
that the state has surety on the
honor of the treasurer and that U all
t;.*' and there has never been anything
$ transpired to show that the honor of
v
sfcy
a populist offioial was any better
security than the honor of a repub
lican official. Some repnblieans
have proven themselves thieves. So
■ hayp some populists. In the per
sonal knowledge of the people of
this county there have been populist
officials who did better according to
their opportunities than Moore and
• Bartley did.—York Republican.
Judge McCctchan has come oat
as aa independent candidate for the
offioe of county judge, With a
populist’s well-known hunger for
office gnawing at his vitals, he
could not be satisfied with two
terms, but, when disappointed in
receiving the nomination at the
hands of the pop convention, must
needs announce himself as in the
race for a third term, independent
of all parties. It is only another
case of the populist office seeking
the man—as they alway do.(?)
Secbetary of State Pobteb has
decided that “silver republican” and
“national democrat” as political
party names may both be used on
the official ballot Unless an appeal
is taken to the supreme court this
decision is final and ns a result the
“silver republican” faction and the
gold wing of the democratic party
will both appear on the ballot. The
case was brought on the grounds
that the names “silver republican”
and “national democrat” as applied
to new parties, were in direct viola
tion of that part of the law which
says a new party “shall not use any
of the old party names.”
The “ring” controlled pop con
vention nominated Clarence Selah
as county judge, but there was such
a kick made and he has received so
little encouragement since in his
campaign, that they have seen that
he couldn’t be elected, aud so have
encouraged McCutchan to come out
independent, promising to support
him on the quiet, but not wishing to
come out openly (or him or to pull
Selah off on account of the votes it
would lose the rest of the ticket
among Selah’s friends. It’s a
pretty smooth scheme to allay the
dissatisfaction prevalent in the
party, but it won’t work, and Harri
son will be elected.
It is a fact well known to all who
are ever, in Atkinson, and more
especially to. our citizens who are in
constant contact with the two men,
that in the course of a year Dicker
son drinks twice as much liquor as
Stewart. We have not said one
word against Mr. Dickerson person
ally, as this was a political fight, but
if the opposition want to deal in
personalities and desire a personal
comparison of the two men, the
result wonld bring many a blush to
the faces of Mr. Dickerson’s so
called friends.—Plain Dealer.
We are surprised that Eves shoald
publish such a barefaced lie as the
above when he knows that—owing
to his limited circulation—it will
not be read by anyone who does not
know the two men personally, and
knowing them wjll know that there
is not one iota of troth in any part
of the above screed. As the Inde
pendent publishes about the Bame
charge, it is evident that the two
papers have concocted a series of
palpable lies which they will publish
from this time on in a futile effort
to besmirch the character of the
republican candidates—as dean a
set of men as evef graced a ticket.
The populist papers are using every
means in their power to blacken the
names of the republican candidates
and to drag them down to their own
level, but they will not succeed,
for they are such well known preva
ricators that no one believes any
thing that appears in their rotten
sheets.
--
TOOT OUT TOUR PROOF.
The republicans howl that John
Stewart is a drinking man; bnt for
get to say that Dickerson punishes
rot-gut at a rate that would make a
native of Kentuoky turn green with
envy.—Independent
If Dickerson is such a drinking
man there certainly must be some
proof, and we would like to see it
A. charge without proof has no
weight at alL We have said that
Stewart is a drinking man. We’ll
go further and say he w a drunkard,
and here is our proof:
Richmond, Neb., March 12, 1880.
I, the undersigned, do hereby
agree to not drink any more liquors
of any kind, and if I do 1 am to
give my wife, Della M. Stewart all
the children and all the property,
that I may own at that time.
Signed this 12th day of March,
1880. John M. Stewabt.
Witnesseth, Lavilla Pabkeb.
Rachel A. Pabkeb.
Notwithstanding the agreement
made in Richmond, Mr. Stewart
continued to drink, until, in 1896,
his wife, being unable to endure his
drunkenness and abuse any longer,
instituted divorce proceedings, but
was induced to withdraw them upon
his again promising to reform, and
the following contract was drawn up
and signed:
Della M. Stewart, 'l
Plaintiff. I
vs. j- Stipulation.
John M. Stewart,
Defendant. J
This stipulation, entered into by
and between the parties hereto,
witnesseth that the defendant on
this day made to plaintiff certain
conveyances in consideration of a
dismissal of this action, and plaintiff
agrees to return to defendant as his
wife and care for his family. De
fendant hereby agrees in further
consideration thereof to quit the use
of intoxicating liquors, and further
that in case he becomes intoxicated
that he will forfeit to plaintiff the
care, custody and education of the
children who shall then be under 14
years old, and $2000 for the support
of plaintiff and said minor children.
Witnesseth our hand this seventh
day of January, 1897.
Della M. Stewart, Plaintiff.
John M. Stewart, Defendant’ ’■
The conveyances referred to in
the above stipulation consisted of a
deed to the following property:
Lots 17 and 18 in block 10 in the
original plat of Atkinson, and lots 4,
5, 6 and 7 in block 19 in Bitney’s
addition to Atkinson, and two quar
ter sections of land, the deed to said
property being recorded in book 46
of deeds on page 262 of the deed
record of Holt county.
mere was a farther agreement
that Mr. Stewart was to pay all the
taxes dae on said property up to
January 1, 1807, which he has failed
to do, there being now due and
delinquent taxes against said prop
erty to the amount of $313.07.
Tbis stipulation, however, proved
of no more force than the former
one, for Mr. Stewart soon began
drinking as hard as ever, but failed
to pay the $2000 as he had agreed.
In a petition for divorce now on
file in the clerk of the district
court’s office, where it may be seen
by anyone who doubts our state
ment, we find the following:
Section 2. Plaintiff farther {rep
resents that said defendant, wholly
regardless of his duties as a hus
band, after said marriage commenced
the excessive use of intoxicating
liquors, and has for two years last
past been an habitual drunkard.
If the Independent, or anyone
else wishes further proof of John
Stewart’s drunkenness and general
unfitness for offioe, we oan famish
it, or better still, let them go to
Atkinson, Stewart’s home, and talk
with all of the reputable citizens of
that town, and they will hear such a
tale of drunken carousals and abuse
that their cheeks will burn with
anger when they think how the
“ring” forced this man Stewart upon
them at the late convention, and
asked them to elect him to the
honorable position of sheriff of Holt
oounty.
WAS IT A LIB? *
Editor Frontier : I am sorry
yon have so much trouble to keep
me in the straight and narrow path.
But I want to say yotf have been
misinformed. I have made no
promises nor avowals of a purpose
ot turning over the prohibition vote
to Mr. Morrow. It would be, the
height of folly for anyone to attempt
to do that Other parties may
handle thoir voters “in blocks of
five,” but prohibition voters can’t be
handled in blocks. “They are not
built that way.” Your informer got
up a very stupid lie.
N. S. Lowrii.
When the reverend gentleman
wrote the above, he had evidently
forgotten a conversation held with
‘Mr. Harnish a couple of weeks ago
wherein he said that, while he was
not making a fight for himself as a
candidate on the prohibition ticket,
he could not support or vote for Mr.
Harnish as he felt compelled to
support Mr. Morrow owing to the
fact that his daughter had been
promised the deputyship under Mr.
Morrow. He said further that he
expected to get out for a week and
work among the prohibitionists, and
he has been heard right here in
O’Neill to ask prohibitionists to vote
for Morrow. However, we agree
with Mr. Lowriewhen he says that
“prohibition votes cannot be handled
in blocks of five,” and we remarked
something to that effect last week.

HOW ABOUT HOLCOMB?
Thb pop papers are trying hard
to make political capital out of the
Bartley shortage. Every week they
devote more or less space to telling
what a great criminal Bartley is,
and dwell upon the large amount of
money he stole. Well, nobody
denies it, do they? Isn’t Bartley
under a twenty year sentence—im
posed by a republican judge—at the
present time? Now be as frank on
your part and admit that Holcomb
is just as deep in the mud as Bart
ley is in the mire. That he knew
all along that Bartley was short;
that he received a large share in the
stolen funds for approving illegal
bonds; that when he approved Baid
bonds he knew Bartley ^ was short,
but kept quiet for a valuable con
sideration. Make a virtue of a
necessity and admit it Condemn
Holcomb as you are continually
advising the republicans to condemn
his partner in crime, Bartley, for it
will not be long before you will have
to, whether you want to or not.
Just at present Holcomb is away on
a junketing tour in the south—at
the expense of the railroads—but
wait till he returns and then
see how he will explain the
following charge, coming as it
does from a reliable source:
“The startling announcement is
made from Omaha that Acting Gov
ernor Frank Hansom and Gen. John
C. Cowin offer to prove on the part
of the Bartley bondsmen that when
Bartley made a settlement with
Governor Holcomb at the end of his
first term of office, there was a short
age of something over $300,000 in
the treasury and the governor knew
it, but ever thereafter held his
peace and thereby ^ deceived the peo
ple who went on Bartley’s bond for
his second term. If the evidenoe
proffered is let in, doubtless the
governor will be summoned as a
witness to explain why he accepted
the bond of a man whom he knew to
be a defaulter, and allowed it to be
signed by practically the same peo
ple who' were on the first bond,
notwithstanding he must have known
that the bond was thereby rendered
worthless to the state.”—State
Journal.
