Republican victory is in the air.
A man who lias no enemies seldom
has many friends.
It will be Governor-Elect Mickey
after November 4th.
The “paramount issue” of the fu
sionlsts in thiscampaign is “anything
to down the republicans.”
Tariff reform is to be the democra
tic battle cry in the campaign of 1904
free soup in place of free silver.
.
What lias become of Democracy’s
paramount issue of “Anti—Imper
ialism,” has it gone the way of other
democratic scarecrows?
“Issued under the authority of the
railroads of Nebraska”—free passes to
Nebraska fusion otllcials, their rela
tives and friends.
From every county in the Sixth
district come reports of large acces
sions to the republican ranks, ensur
ing the election of Judge Kinkaklby
a handsome majority.
What has become of Bryan? Is his
disinclination to take the stump in
Nebraska this year due to a convic
tlon on his part that Nebraska is
hopelessly lost to the fusion cause?
" ' ■
The Sixth Congressional district
will be represented by a republican in
a republican congress after March 4
next. As Napoleon remarked on first
beholding the city of Moscow. “It
was time.”
..-■* »■>
People who watch the course of the
fusion do-nothing State Boards of
Tranportation and Equalization are
not inclined to take much stock in
the popocratic campaign cry for in
creased railroad taxation.
Bryan,s prophecy of 1896 that in a
few years the public schools would be
compelled to close is liable to be in a
measure fulfilled in the country dis
tricts of Nebraska during the coming
year. But the cause is the reverse of
that predicted by the boy orator; pros
perity has caused a scarcity of count ry
school unarms.
Gold is flowing into the national
, treasury in such streams that Secre
tary Shaw is at his wits end to take
care of it. One G. Cleveland could
doubtless give some pointers on how
to dissipate the surplus, but we ima
gine the country will be in no hurry
tr apply for them. A surplus is
better than a deficit and the
people generally believe in letting
well enough alone.
That the fusioniste realize that M.
P. Kinkaid will be elected is shown
by their activity in this district, and
the fact that their most eloquent
speakers are through this territory.
But it will take more than eloquence to
defeat M. P. Kinkaid this fall; his
election is a practical certainty, and
the people can’t he persuaded this
year against their interests and.against
their convictions.—Spencer Advocate.
Judge M. P. Kinkaid, the next con
gressman from this district, was a
Gordon visitor last Tuesday. The
Judge wore an air of confident expec
tation and unless all the signs of the
political zodiac are reversed he will
have a walkaway at the pools next
November. Sheridan county will
give a majority vote for Judge Kin
kaid, now mark that prediction. The
Judge is well known in this county
and highly respected as a man by all
parties. The people of this district,
regardless of party ties, know that
their interests will be safe in the
the hands of Judge Kinkaid.—Gordon
Jounal.
General Barry wants to discuss the
“issues” of the campaign with Judge
Kinkaid. So far so good. But when
the proposition is all summed up the
thing is so simple that it hardly rises
to the dignity and importance of joint
debate. The only question is whether
the prosperous conditions that have
been brought about by the policy of
the republican party shall be continu
ed, or whether we shall revert to the
old regime of uncertainty, inertia,
and general paralysis. It should not
be necessary to do more than ask Gen
eral Barry whether he is in favor of
continuing those conditions, or
whether he would if elected join with
the democrats In congress who again
boldly advocte a policy of free trade.—
Kearney Hub.
Judge Kinkaid, at the election two
years ago received a majority of 179
votes in Box Butte county, which was
a larger majority than any candidate
on the state ticket received. Dietrich
for governor carried the county by 55
majority and Weston the highest by
139. This attests the popularity, and
esteem in which the judge is held
where he is well known, and the
judge Is well known in this county
having held court here since the or
ganization of the county until his
voluntary retirement three years ago.
The judge was given 182 majority in
the city of Alliance, while ^ie ran
three vote behind his opponent in the
country precincts. This year lie will
make large gains in the country pre
cincts, and there is no reason why lie
will lsoea single vote in the city.
The above figures are taken from the
official abstract of votes, on record in
the county clerk’s office and cannot
be disputed.—Alliance Tines.
Fred Cronk, one of the nominees for
representative, was born in Itock
county, Wisconsin, April 30, 1870.
When he was four years of age ids
parents moved to Iowa where they re
mained until 1880 when the came to
Holt county and located four ndles
east of Page, where they have resided
ever since. Mr. Cronk lias never
sought public office, but has time and
again been urged by republicans in ids
section to allow the use of his name
and he finally consented, and ids
popularity in ids section of the county
was attested at the convention, when
the delegates fron the entire eastern
half of the of the county were urging
ids selection as one of the nominees,
and ids nomination by acclamation
was the result. He received his
education in the public schools of this
county, and being possessed of a good
retentive memory is possessed of more
than a common school educat ion. He
possesses t lie natural ability to make
a successful legislator and the people
of Holt county will make no mistake
in ids selection.
The Sunday Illustrated Bee of Sep
tember 14 contained a full page pic
ture of Hon. M. P. Kinkaid and the
following biographical sketch:
“Moses P. Kinkaid, republican nom
inee for congress from the Sixth Ne
braska district, is one of the best
known jurists in the state, having
contsnued longeron the district bench
than any dudge ever elected in Ne
braka. He is a native of West Vir
ginia, having been born in Monanga
hela county of that state. His boy
hoods days werespent in Pennsylvania
and Illinois. He was graduated from
the law school of the University of
Michigan in 1870, and soon after be
gan tiie practice of his profession in
Nebraska. When O’Neill was locat
ed he made his home there and has
never changed it. In 1887 lie was
elected to the district bench, serving
thirteen years. lie was a member of
the state senate during the session of
1803, and was chairman of judiciary
committee of that body. In 1806
Judge Kinkaid was one of the repubi
can candidates for a contingent posi
tion on the supreme bench of t lie
state, but the constitutional amend
ment increasing the number of sup
reme judges failed to carry. In 1000
he was a candidate for congress in the
Sixth district and his nomination by
the republicons in the present cam
paign is in recognition of the inroads
he made on the fusion vote two years
ago. He is a forceful, fluent speaker,
and a vigorous campaigner, and his
friends are confident of his election
to represent the big Sixth in the
next congress.”
The populist newspapers are mak
ing urgent appeals to the old soldiers
to support Barry for congress, because
he is an old soldier. It is only a few
years since James Whitehead, an old
soldier and an able, conservative citi
zen of Custer county was the republi
can nominee for congress and pitted
against him was “Calamity” Kem.
These pop papers were not so solicit
lous about the welfare of the old sold
iers in those days. They urged them
to support Kem and succeeded in de
feating Whitehead. Again, only a
few years ago the immortal McKinley
one of the defenders of his country
was the nominee of the republicans
for the highest ottice within the gift
of the American people. Populist and
democratic papers were not then urg
ing populists and democrats to sup
port the defender of their country, in
stead they could not think of any
thing too mean to say of him. If the
fusionists were sincere in their desire
to honor Barry because he is an old
soldier, why did they not give him the
nomination two years ago when he
could have been elected, instead of
waiting two years and then offering it
to three other candidates, who declin
ed the empty honor of a nomination,
before the delegates, in disgust, cast
it into tiie air and it fell into the eag
er, expectant arms of Patrick Barry.
That lie would be elected was not nor is
now expected by a majority of those
who nominated him. lie is two years
too late.
NOW HEDGE
Broken Bow, Neb., June 24, 1902,
Editor Independent :—! was at the
Republican Congressional convention
at Crawford and learned of some
things that may be of interest to
your people. I have always abhored
treachery and you have some politi
cians in Holt county that are past
masters in that art. The people-of
Garfield county were almost unauim
ous for Senator Curry as congressman.
In the county convention they passed
resolutions endorsing his candidacy.
.1 udge Kinkaid and a man named
Weekes, who is*in the land ollice with
Clem Deaver, and a big red headed
lawyer who was Kinkaid’s booster
from O’Neill and whose name I have
forgotten, went into a deal with a
man named Bartlett who was one of
the delegates from Garlield county.
They explained to Bartlett that while
the resolutions in the county conven
tion had endorsed Senator Curry it
did not instruct them outright that
they must vote for Curry. They ag
reed with him to nominate him for
state senator in your district if he
would betray the people of his county
and vote for Kinkaid. I do not know
whether such transactions can be re
lied on even by Bartlett but for fear
they might I requst that you publish
this letter and thereby prevent the
carrying out of this infamous deal.
For personal reasons 1 prefer not to
have my name published, but 1 give
it to you herewith and if you have
any doubt as to my reliability you can
inquire of Senator Curry of Sargent or
Judge Harrison of Grand Island.
Yours truly,
Custer County Republican.
The above idiotic screed appeared
in last issue of the Independent. As
you will notice it has a Broken Bow
headline and purports to have been
written by a resident of Custer coun
ty, whereas in reality it never came
from Broken Bow but was we believe
prepared here byoneof the numerous
editors of the Independent. The
Frontier claims the letter was never
received by the editor of the Indepen
dent nor did he ever indite the answer
he publishes and which he claims he
mailed to the Custerl County
Republican. The fact that it is false
he proves in his own letter when lie
says, under date of June 28, that
Cal Mottitt, of Boyd county, was also a
candidate. Mr. Mottitt’s name was
never mentioned in connection wit!
the nomination until the middle oi
August, when tie announced his can
didacy to tlie wri'er upon ids return
from a trip to Duluth, Minn. Tlie
syndicate sheet claims the letter is
genuine, we say it is the rottenest
kind of a fake and The Frontier will
donate $25 to any charity in the city
if the editor of the Independent will
prove to a committee of three respon
sible business men of this city, of his
own selection, that the letter is
genuine. Prove your statements or
stand convicted of dealing in the
lowest, meanest and most unprincipl
ed campaign matter that can be
evolved in the corrupt brains of the
decaying syndicate.
STILL SEARCHING FOR AN
ISSUE.
A great many democratic state con
ventions have been held during the
past few days, and still the Na
tional leaders of that party are with
out a real live issue. A great many
fields have been threshed over by
these diligent ones, and the nearest
approach to an issue was furnished
by the actions of the Ohio democrats.
Under the guidance of a new Moses,
who has recently arisen, that intelli
gent body of men simply reaffirmed
the Kansas City platform. They did
this in spite of the fact that the nation
lias utterly repudiated these princi
ples on two different occasions, and
is sure to do it again. Yet they went
a little farther in their search for an
issue and roundly denounced the en
tire system of protection. This was
indeed foolhardy in view of the exper
ience of 1893 and 1890. The failure at
that time of this issue needs no argu
ment with the present generation.
Even chairman Griggs has been
forced to admit that he has seen the
handwriting on the wall. Reports
recived at headquarters indicate that
the democratic principles of free sil
ver, free trade and anti-reciprocity
and anti-expansion have fallen like a
wet blanket on the country.
The average democratic stump ora
tor in his attempt to convinie the
people that there is no prosperity and
that the tariff is bound to ruin the
country reminds one of “Don Quixote”
lighting the wind mills.
