Eb. Hill, the follow that served a term

some years ago is again in limbo, this

there put l’arl Round on the scent and
he went back home. Mr. Round took
up the trail and caught him in Custer

October 10, when he will report at Oma

not needed further. Mr. Taylor is look
ing well and does not show any signs of
government neglect. He Bays there was
nothing left undone for the comfort
of the soldier boys as far as the war
department was concerned. Every
comfort was provided for them and
the cause of so much sickness can
be attributed to the reckless eating
of all kinds of fruits and dainties
hat could be procured by thorn, and
the sudden change of climate, all of
which the administration were not, and
should not be held responisble for.
This howl about oftieial neglect, by yel
low Journals he claims Is all for politi
Cal effect and should be so considered
by the people. Any privations that the
soldiers suflered lie says was not be
cause the war department was derelict
but because it was Impossible to pre
vent it.

The pop convention held in Ihe Wat
kinson hall last Saturday caused some
(lisatlsfaulion among the popocrafio
element, but the result was accepted
as being satisfactory to at least the
successful candidates. ,1. M Snyder
was promptly turned down and John
Vandcgrift was clio.cn to lead the
ticket in this county this fall He was
nominated for Representative, T. S.
Nightingale was nominated for county
attorney by a handsome majority
over II. M. Mathew Mr. Mathew is
the gentleman who suceeded in getting
through at the last pop convention
a resolution endorsing socialism, so
in him the Independent party has a
candidate who stands out for fusion in
its broadest sense, one who endorses
populism, democratici-in. socialism and
no doubt would like the support of re
publicanism. But it i< generally con
seeded by all that the party lias at last
stumbled upon n candidate for county
attorney with ability to till the office
Mr. Nightingale is a lawyer of large
experience and ability which especially
lit him foi the position. Ills principal
failure is that he believes in every kind
of ism that can be induced to fu*o. but
in Sherman county that can hardly be
counted as a failure, politically speak
ing. because it is necessary to have a
strong combination to down the re
publican party and Tom knows it, and
just as long as he can make the people
believe that all the political isms on
earth except republicanism are one and
the same thing he is going to do it.
ll«* is primed for the light and lie is
going in to win or burst a suspender
in tlie attempt. Here is hoping that
he will come out in at least as good
a trim as when he entered the ring.
Mr. Nightingale has practiced law in
Sherman county for about 20 years and
has as good a record for success as any
lawyer in the county His papers are
always first class, he is a close stud
ents and prepares his cases with
a great deal of care. He has also
bad a great appetite for office and
once before was nominated for county
attorney; just nominated and that
was all. No attorney in the county
and doubtless few in the state can
draw up more acurute aud binding
papers than he can and doubtless
there are few who so persistantly
seeks office and never gets it.
