Smith of o Neljl Vote the straight republican ticket and assist in killing off ring rule. All patriotic Americans will re joice at the cheering news from Buffalo that President McKinley will recover. -- “It is not any longer a quoston of who the republicans will elect,” says Geoage Lossinger after the recent pop convention “but how big a majority their candidates will receive.” De gang is consuming much mid night oil trying to figure out the election of their ticket, but rb one them remarked: “It’s the hardest proposition I have ever been up against.” -* - Many populists in western Holt claim that the fight in that portion of the county is between John McNichols, the democratic candidate for sheriff and C. K. Hall, the re publican candidate. It is a noticable fact that the Atkinson Plain-Dealer does not speak of their candidate for sheriff as a man of sterling integrity and worth. There are some doses too hard for even Lee to swaollw. -----... Every citizen of the county has the wellfare of the publio schools at heart and should vote for Professor Cahil for county superintennent, a man throughly conpetent to. fill the position and to advance the educat ional interest of the county. --- The Holt county ring are getting desperate early in the game. They are ready and willing to trade off every candidate on their ticket for Cronin and Blackmer. They want the treasurer and sheriff but will be able to capture neither. “What kind of a ticket was nom inated yesterday ?” was the ques tion one good Grattan township populist asked another, the day after the populist convention. “A tioket of political mavericks,” re plied the other, as ho turned away in disgust. Stuffing the ballot was one method the ring adopted at the con vention, to force their pet candidate to the front. While able to mani pulate things at the convention it will be different at the polls when the honest yoemanry of Holt county steps up to the ballot box and re pudiates the ring ticket. “They should have nominated Niel Brennan for some office to have made the farce complete,” said a disgusted pop in talking over the recent pop convention. “Why this idea of making it appear that the office was hunting Trommerhansser is the rottenest kind of political buncomb when every voter in Holt county knows that Trom has been aching to get into office ever sinee he has been in the county. The fact of the matter is that Hike Harrington selected Trommers faausser for county clerk just like he picked the rest of the ticket and in spired one of the delegates to wire Trom asking if he would accept. Of'Course Trom was willing? the machine gave the word and he was nominated. But he hasn’t been elected yet nor never* will be.” The Sickroom and its Lessons. The Chicago Tribune: The bul letins from tho sickroom at Buffalo continue to be of a roassuring charac ter. Tho President’s condition is not only satisfactory, as shown by the steady return of pulse and tem perature to normal, but there is as yet no indication of tho sinister complications which were feared at first. This does not mean that the patient is moro than holding his own and that thero are moro grounds for hope than for apprehension. It will not be time to nssume that he is out of danger until the physicians’ bulletins have so declar ed, but so far as can now be soen their work has been as successful as it has been skillful. With the advantage of their skill and his courago tho American people and the whole world are beginning to have conlidenco that his life will be spared and that in a few weeks he will be at the post of duty. If this bo so, then what? Will the people then turn to their own affairs again and soon forget this attempt ed assassination and its lessons, or will they who have elected the Presi dent and have made themselves responsible for his election also realize their responsibility for his protection ? Tliero is at present great police activity in search of those who may have been accomplices of Czol gosz, and innumerable suggestions have been made for the suppression of Anarchists. The activity in some directions will prove a waste of time and will be barren iu result. The suggestions are not always practical and sometime they are unreasonable. And yet something should be done and it should bo done carefully, considerately, and thoroughly. It may not bo possible entirely to ex tinguish anarchy. It works in socret and its agitators usually act individually. Its aim is to destroy law, order, society. It prefers to bring about that result “philosophi cally,” but does not hesitate to use violence. The act of Czolgosz finds no condemnation in anarchistic circles. And now that apparently he has failed in his murdorous pur pose the propaganda will be none the less active, though for a time it may bo more secret. To deal with it there must be something more than arrests of sus pects and temporary police vigilance. There must be wise and far reaching legislation to minimize the danger. The immigration laws should be amended so as more thoroughly to sift out the material which is pouring into this country and shut the gates against known Anarchists and deport those already hero who are aliens and violate the liberty of speech. The United States should also have a law which provides ade quato punishment for an assault of this kiud. The public meeting,and,if possible, the private meeting of Anarchists, should be scrutinized more carefully, and those who counsel violence or in any way ad vocate the doctrine of force should be suppressed. The country has been made the homo of the poor and oppressed, and it should con tinue to be so, but there should be no place here for those who preach the doctrines of misrule, disorder, nnd assassination. Neligh Leader. Samuel Hopkins Sedgwick, the republican candidate for Supreme Judge, is 53 years of age, having been born in DuPage county, Illinois, in 1848. He was educated in Wheaton college, in which he began reading law before he finished. Ho studied one year at Michigan university law school und commenced practice at Green Bay, Wis., in 1874. In 1S74 he came to York, Neb., having first married in Illinois, and lias remain ed steadily in the pursuit of his pro fession. The only public offico he has held is that of district judge, to which he was elected in 1895. At the conclusion of his term he re tired, re-election being impossible because of the strong fusion majority in his district, although he respon ded to the party’s call to run again. He was prominently before the re publican convention of 1899 for the nomination for supreme judge that was awarded to Judge Iveese. His wife and two daughters live with him at York, one son having died. Troru is anxious to secure repub lican volts to help Lim out this fall ami in order to do so tells the boys he is as good a republican as he ever was. But such stuff will not down. No republican will vote for him and hundreds of fusioanists, who know that he joined their party at the re quest of the ring so they could place him in oflice, will assist his old time colleagues in burying him so deep that even a scorching July sun will be unable to penetrate the tomb in which his political aspirations will repose. The choise of the delegates to the populist county convention for the office of sheriff was W. T. Hayes and had the ring kept their fingers out ho would have been nominated. But D. J. Cronin knew that the nomination of Hayes meant his de feat and ho assisted his masters, the ring, in defeating Hayes by having Sheilds township voto for the mach ine candidate for sheriff, Blaekmer. But with O’Neill, Grattan and Sheilds controlld by thejriug and against him, Hayes only lacked nine votes of the nomination. An,«! now after slashing him of course the ring expects Hayes to pull olf his coat and work for those who crucifi ed his ambition, the ring and their pet candidates, Cronin and Black mer. ---- ‘‘If E. S. Gilmour was allowed to select a man to run against I believe he could not select a weaker man nor one easier for him to dofeat than John Trommershausser,” said one of the Ewing delegates to the pop convention after the adjournment of tho convention in talking of the matter, with the Frontier scribe. “The ring may think itgood politices to nominate a man for one of the best offices in tho county who has not been in the party long enough to know whether lie is a pop, re publican or democrat, but I don’t, and I believe there are enough populists in the county who think the same way to snow John so deep that even the ring, whose political pot and protege ho is, will be unable to lind him after November 5.” That the Amiliu poet has groat iniluenco in his party was demons trated at the county convention whoq Eddie with visions of the loss of his land—grabbing legal notice publishing, in out illegal manner’s looming up before him ho arose and in a pityiful, supplicating and sobchockiug voice begged tho conven tion to fuse with tho democrats by giving them the office of county clerk, in order ho said to make suc cess certain, and of course, although the poet did not mention the fact, allow mo to hang on to my graft. Deafening applause did not shako tho building when the learnod(?)poet resumed his seat buast J. P. Mullen arose like an avenging nemesis and said they would give them county judge and nothing else. The Idol demonstrated he was the idol still for the convention went with him and said to the democrats:—accept the crumbs we throw you or go it alone. And Eddie went out and swallowed a few chunks of ice to keep his indiguatiou from consuming him. Chambers Bugle: J. W. Holdeu candidate on the republican ticket was boru at Mouticello, Iowa, Aug . 12, 18u9. His father served in the army as a Union soldier in the war of the rebellion and at the close of the war moved to Oswego, N. Y., where the subject of this sketch lirst attended school. The family moved back to Mouticello and there he re ceived a liberal education. At the age of sixteen years he came to Nebraska and connected himself with the Crete nursery where he was held in high esteem. He was married at Crete and afterwards moved with his family and took a homestead near Chambers upon which he now resides, and during his stay here his life has been one ! worthy of emulation. He has held positions of trust in which he has acquitted himself with honor. As treasurer of South Fork Fair Associa tion he has made entire settlements to the satisfaction of the associa tion and we unhesitatingly recom mend him as a man upon whom the electors of Holt county can rely.

Cahill, the republican candidate for county superintendent, is a man qualified in every way to fill the office to which ho aspires. He has had fiifteen years experience in district and city schools. After finishing the common schools he worked his way through the Campbell Univers ity College in Kansas. Securing a position in Illinois, he taught several terms of school and during vacation he attended the North western Normal College. He was for some time principal of the Lon don public schools in Mills county, Illinois. Mr. Cahill has worked his way up in educational circles and is a self made man, one who knows something outside of mere text books. Mr. Cuhill has been princi pal of the Stuart schools and has been elected to the same position this year. He is a man of ability, tact energy and ambition. If elected to the office of county superinten dent, the educational interests of Holt county will be brought up to a higher stanard. Everyone interest ed in the improvement of Holt countv schools, should vote for Mr. Cahill regardless of political prejudice. Ray Bits. A line rain visited this section during the last few days.
