The A. P. A. did not accomplish much
in its fight on McKinley 'in the Omaha
convention.
The "one dark spot'' on tlie Nebraska
delegation to St. Louts is Bud Lindsey of
1 jncoln, but it is not by reason of race
prejudice.
The action of Crounse at the Omaha
convention was simply another proof
that some people do not realize that
they are dead.
It has been chargedby some that Jack
MacOoll brought aoout the defeat of the
candidate of the north went in the Broken
Bow convention, lie laid no occasion
to do so.
We have met several men who blame
;i newspaper for having defeated them
for olilce, but e have yet to find the
first man to admit that a newspaper
elected himito office. O'Neill Frontier.
Congressman jHainer resigned the posi
tion of chairman of the republican state
central committee on account of the de
mands of his own campaign, and John T.
Mallilieu was elected to fill the vacancy.
The interests of the partyjjire still in
good hands.
The reports from the IJlack Hills show
that the ruining interests of that country
are just beginning to be developed.
More and richer ore is being taken out
than ever before, and with the improved
processes of reduction tlie profits are, iu
many instances, enormous.
The republican state convention for
the nomination of a state ticket will be
lield at Lincoln on July 1st. Now that
the matter of a delegation to St. Louis
has been disposed of state affairs will re
ceive mom attention. The contests wilt
lie for the nomination for governor,
treasurer and auditor.
Hon. If. P. Kiukaid, of O'Neill, Holt
county, called upon the prominent re
publicans of Sidney Thursday last. Mr.
Kinkaid is prominently mentioned in
connection with the congressional nom
ination in this district. It was very
nearly demonstrated that had he been
the nominee of the convention two years
ago he would have been elected. He is
now on the bench in his judicial distric t,
and he is very near the people in that
part of the state. Tlienj can b do
doubt but that Judge Kinkaid would
make a strong rae, and should the con
gressional mantle fall on his shoulders it
would be worn with dignity, and the big
Sixth district would have an able cham
pion at Washington. The Poniard be
lieves that if Judge Heist of this county
would consent to remain in tlie field he
would make the strongest candidate tlie
republicans could nominate. But the
judge feels that it would not be wise to
divide the strength of tlie western coun
ties, and as a mutter of good politic
will not seek tlai nomination. Kidney
Jmiard.
Tha article from the Sidney Pjniaril
which appears in another column indi
cates that tlie republicans of Cheyenne
rouaty have level heads, and tlie atti
tude taken by Judge Heist shows that!
Ilia desire for republican success is by far
greater than hi dew re for personal ad
vancement, and that be recognize the
fact that the congressional nominee will
need all the strength he can rally if he is
to be aucoeeaful at tin polls. Judge
Heist has a strong following in tlie part
of the district where he resides and be
could fa into convention with considera
ble atrwafth, but he evidently recognises
that bis doing so might result in the
nomioation of some man who could not
be elected, but by throwing his strength
to Kinkaid he knows that he is taking no
such cbaaoes, for his nomination means
Ills election. Judge Heist is to be com
pUmawtad on his political sagacity, and
oUmt whose names have baas mention
d hj oaooection with the congressional
nomtaatioa might add strength to the
party ta Km district and not injurs their
mom etaadiBf. should they follow hi ex-

Senator Allen succeded in again dis
gracing himself in tb senate a few daya
ago. He got into a controversy with
Senator Gear of Iowa during w hich the
former virtually gave the lie to the lat

much to le r-t,TeUed by alL
The president does not seem inclined to
take any action on the resolution passed
by both houses of congress in relation to
Culw. In the meantime the war is
going on and life and pcoerty being sac

The methods of S,m t tward her Cuban

The jiopulist state central committee
has called a state convention to elect
delegates to the national convention of
that party. The gathering will lie at
Grand Inland on July 15th, and the nom
inating convention will be held at Hast
ings in August. Tlie representation in
he state convantion will lie ba-sed on the
vote enct for Muxwell in M"). In the
national convention Nebrask.i is entitled

Ross L. Hammood. editor of the Fre
mont TrQmiif, has announced himself as
a candidate for the republican nomina
tion for congressman in tlie third dis
trict. If the newspier men of tlie dis
trict or of the state had the voting to do
his election would be assured. For six
teen years he has worked for the inter
ests of the republican party and the ad
vancement of the state. He is one of
the best newspaper writers in tfie st. te
and his best efforts have been given to
get good men in control. He has made
some hitler enemies because he lias al
ways had the courage of his convictions
and would not truckle to tlie lower class
of political heelers wlio seek to drag
down those whom they cannot control,
but that fact should add strength rather
than weakness to his candidacy. If any
republican in the third district is enti
tled to recognition his name is Koss L.
Hammond.
The republican state convention which
was held at Omaha on the 15lh inst. was
a most enthusiastic gathering of the (Ar
ty. The delegates-at-lsirgn selected to
go to St. Louis were John I,. Welwter.
T. P. Kennard, Peter Jansen. and (J. H.
Tbummel. An attempt was made by
ex-Oov. Crounse to have some resolu
tions adopted which were loaded with
sarcasm directed a't Senator Thurston,
but the eirort fell flat M. A. Haugh
erty was defeated as a candidate for dele
gate, the defeat being a rebuke to Keith
county whose convention passed resolu
tions censuring Thurston, and yet when
tlie time cnm tlw convention which had
been almost a continuous ovatioo to
Thurston in its applause of him, indi
cated that he did not control the party
bv refusing to adopt his compromise
resolutions in the McKinley-Manderson
matter, aod adopting straight McKinley
instructions to the delegates. While
that expressed the prevailing sentiment
of the republicans of the state, there is
no doubt that the action was meant to
lie hint that no one would lie allowed to
lie a dictator to tlie republican party of
Die state. The resolution on the tariff
question is expressed in the one word
"McKinley." The resolution on the
money question adopted was as follows:
"We pledge ourselves in advance to tlie
platform of the coming national conven
tion, believing that it will declare
against the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and for a currency of gold, silver
and paper, "as sound as the government
and as untarnished as its honor," and for
that American system of protection and
reciprocity of which William McKinley
is the best living exponent, and under
which our people attuned the greatest
national and individual prosperity."

A friend I ins just sent me this clipping
from the London Qloltr:
Tlie cablegrams announce that Colonel
Cody, who will be remembered in Lon
don, has been returned as Mayor of Ne
braska. No better selection con hi hare
been made. Colonel Cody was the friend
of a man named Boone who discovered
Kentucky. He married the grand
daughter of Sitting Bullfrog. He was
twice governor of Chicago and at one
time mayor of Arksnsaw. He served in
the confederate army under Ben Butler,
who so gallantly defended New Orleans
against General Longstreet. He intro
duced a bill in congress for tlie relief of
the citizens of Buffalo, and thereby got
his nam of Buffalo Bill. He has a
ranch in St. Louis and finds time to
write for the Atlantic Monthly, that is
edited by Mark Twain and Uncle Thomas
Cabin, a gentleman made famous by bis
Negro dialec t sketches.
