O’Neill, of Lancaster county, will be the choice of the con vention for state auditor. H. M. Eaton, at present deputy commissioner ot public lands and buildings, seems to be in the lead for the republican nomination for that office. Mr. Eaton has made a good official and his many friends believe that he is entitled to the plum as a reward of merit. By securing the passage of his 640 acre homestead bill Judge Klnkaid has done more for western Nebraska and the state at large than all the others who ever represented this portion of the state in the halls of congress. ____ Through force of habit of assailing everything republican, the fusionists are attempting to make a big fuss over the new revenue law. The Fron tier has nothing to say of the man who finds he has a ligitimate kich after the summing up of the findings of the assessors, but it looks verj much like a “holler” from the fellows who have been dodging taxes foi years. The new law in no sense raises the assessment; it simply fills up thi loop holes through which tax shirkers have been able to crawl and secure; fair and honest assessment. Let tb law have a fair trial and if it prove to be at fault it can easily b remedied. MR. HARRINGTON HEARD FROM In declining to be a candidate for the office of govenor M. F. Harring ton, our townsman, has pointed out several reforms which he claims to be in favor of. Granting for argument sake that all the reforms mentioned are good, can Mr. Harrington get a way from the fact that when the fusionists had control of every branch of the state government, that they failed absolute ly to carry out any of these good things? Granting further for argument sake only, that if Mr. Harrington was elected governor he would carry out these reforms, the fact remains that he declines to be a candidate, so there is no hope from that source. Now taking all the above into con sideration, will Mr. Harrington state over his signature that he has a man in mind that is prominent in the fusion party and has one chance in one hundred of being nominated, that he would personally vouch for, to carry out the reforms he points out as being desired. Mr. Harrington need not name the man he has in mind as that might be embarassing. What Did the "Nobles” Do? Schuyler Free Lance: The editor of the O’Neill Independent asnwers the questioh in this paper as to what good did the populist movement do in Nebraska by saying that it ridded the state house of “a host of ignoble thieves, embezzlers and rascals.” Also that it produced “some great and honored men,” adding: "We will mention a few of the names which are engraven upon the eternal walls of Time in glittering letters of ever lasting glory, there to live on and forever shine upon the fairest pages of our country’s history: W. J. Bryan, Judge Holcomb, Senator Allen, W. H. Thompson, Congressman Robinson, Victor Vifquain, Patrick Barry, M. F. Harrington, Smythe, Metcalf, Hitchcock, Beck, Freeman, Sullivan, Governor Poynter, Powers and a host of others like illustrious and noble ! men.” i Yes, we know that the cleaning out , of the Bartley gang in the state house , was a good job and that the fusion movement produced some wonderfully * “noble” men, but what did the 5 movement accomplish for the good ol the people when it was in^absolutc power In the state and in shape to do? Did they rid the state of the railroad pass which is the root of all corpora tion evil or did they let it alone and nearly all of the list of noble men mentioned accept and ride on them just as republicans did? Did they give the people any relief along the much-talked-of lines of railroad rates, or did they simply lay down after the courts held up a radical measure pass ed and failed to pass any-thing of a corporation character? Did they devise any plan whereby the revenue law of the state could be amended so that the income or the state would be at least equal to the expenses, or was that neglected and left for a later re publican legislature to attempt? Were the state institutions taken out of machine politics and put under civil service rules and with a view of good service and ecomical administra tion of affairs? Was a law passed by them settling the the question of the elevatot trust by allowing farmers to build and operate their own, or was that left for the republicans to do? Were the corporations compelled to pay their just share of taxes or was that matter left as it was before? We won’t refer to such men as Por ter and Meserve and Edraisten and Cornell, nor to Lee Herd man, the present supreme court free-grabber who outclasses Eugene Moore an hundredfold. We are not engaged in throwing dirt on one side nor indulg ing in any glittering laudations on the other. All we want to know is, what did that fusion movement benefit the people along the line of popular legislation? What did that grand lot of “noble men” named do aside from talking reform? This writer, too, has been on the ground floor and left it disgusted with sham reformers who are such “noble men.” It’s re sults we judge by; what’s better?
