Hon. F. M. Curry of Custer county
is out for U. S. senator. From a per
sonal acquaintance and knowledge of
Senator Curry, we consider him as
the peer of any man yet mentioned,
and in intellect, honesty, oratorical
ability and brain power by far supe
rior to many. This is our candid un
solicited opinion. But we are for the
man the convention names: no poor
sticks in the bunch mentioned so far.
On tlie first page of this paper wiil
be found tlie announcements of
Messrs. R. J. Nightingale and R. P.
Starr, as candidates for the republi
can nomination for the office of coun
ty attorney. The gentlemen are both
well and favorably known to the
voters of this county, and ask the
nomination on their merits in the
open and through the columns of
The Nokthwkstekn for your sup
port. We can heartily support either
and when you have" signified your
choice, in convention assembled, we
will, with both pen and voice, give
the heartiest of sanction to tlie will
so expressed.
Death ot ex-Senator Conger.
The funeral of Hon. W. H. Conger,
of whose death at Edmonton. Canada,
on the 3rd of June mention was made
last week, occurred from the M. E.
church Tuesday afternoon of this
week. The body arrived Monday
evening, accompanied by Mr. H. S.
Conger, and was escorted to the home
of his son. A. T. Conger, by a large
number of our citizens, led by martial
music. At the hour of 2 p. m. Tues
day, the services were held, the church
being inadequate to hold any great
portion of the number who were
present to do honor to a former dis
tinguished citizen. The casket was
hanked by a profusion of floral em
blems, and former comrades of de
ceased had charge of the ceremonies,
the funeral address being by Rev.
John Madely. formerly pastor of the
M. E. church here, and an intimate
friend of deceased. At the close of
the ceremonies at the church, the re
mains were viewed by the large con
course of people, and the body was
laid to rest in our cemetery, followed
by an immense procession of friends
to the Silent City. The present
editor of The Northwestern never
met the distinguished citizen, but on
even- hand are heard expressions of
sorrow over the loss of one whom
every one acknowledged as a generous,
aperi-hearted citizen, loyal friend and
lover of all with whom lie had busi
ness or social relations. Jin his death.
The North western, with all of our
citizens^ tender sincere sympathy to
the bereaved wife, sons, daughters
and other relatives,
William H Conger was born at
Willsboro. New York. June 1st, 1840.
being tKS years and 2 days old at the
time of his death. He moved to Ne
braska in 1882, where he practiced
law. He was a member of the lower
house of the Nebraska legislature in
1885. and a member of the Nebraska
seriate in 1887. where lie fathered and
promoted and secured the establish
ment of the Soldiers' and Sailors
home at Grand Island. He was a
veteran of the civil war, serving lib
country in a New York regiment
from ‘**2 to ‘05, and was an enthnsi
astio member of the Grand Army ol
the Republic, Mr. Conger liad been
twice married, having five sons and
three daughters by his first marriage,
his first wife and two daughters hav
ing died preceding his demise. By

Announcements.
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
I hereby announce myself as a candidate lor
the office of county attorney subject to the ap
proval of the Republican County Convention to
be held at Coup City. Nebraska. June 28. 1806
Dated this 5tb day of June. 1806
K. J. Nightingale.
I make the above announcement
because I believe that the open and
straightforward way is the best way
in political matters, as in other
matters. I think a convention is en
titled to know, in advance of the date
of its meeting, the names of all per
sons who will be candidates for any
office, so that it may inform itself
fully as to the merits of the respect
ive candidates and make a more
deliberate and intelligent choice.
1 am also impelled to make the
above announcement by the urgency
of the responsible republicans who in
sist that the time has arrived in the
history of Sherman county when the
law department of the county should
be entrusted to the care of a lawyer
who lias had sufficient experience in
the actual practice of the law to
justify the. belief that he will bring
to the discharge of the duties of that
office at least an average decree of
professional knowledge and skill.
It is pointed out by my fellow citi
zens that the law business of the
county is of greater volume and im
portance than that of any private in
stitution of the county. Its civil
business involves the collection and
disbursement of nearly $100,000. In
order to raise the money to do the
business of the county, levies must be
made upon the taxable property of
the county, and, unless these levies
are legal, the county will be embar
rassed for want of funds to carry on
the public business. In disbursing
this large amount of money, after it
is collected, important duties devolve
upon the officers and agents of the
county. All the officers of the county
are dependent upon the county attor
iir» as uiicii ic^ai aunaui uu cuauic
them to conduct the business of tiie
county in a strictly legal manner, so
that on the one hand they may not
unwittingly infringe upon the pri
vate rights* of the citizen, and on the
other hand may not forego or sacrifice
the public rights and interests. As
a business institution, tiie county
needs tiie test legal talent it can hire
for the salary provided by law, in
order to save it from financial loss in
the transaction of its civil business.
To cite one instance among many, in
the administration of public affairs,
where great loss might result for lack
of proper legal advice, several thous
and dollars will have to he expended
annually in the establishment of
public roads, and if these roads are
not legally established, it means a
money loss to the count}' and in many
cases harassing litigation. But it is
not alone in tiie administration of the
civil business of the county that the
services of competent legal counsel are
needed. One .of tiie principal func
tions of a county attorney is that of
a public prosecutor. It is his special
duty to see that the criminal laws
are * enforced. In a very substantial
sense the persons, the liberties and
lives of tiie citizens of this county are
put under his protection by the law.
If a county attorney is lacking in
professional’knowledge and skill, men
who should be punished for violation
of tiie laws go free and tiie failure of
justice results in an encouragement
to lawlessness. Sot linly so, but
errors in trying criminal cases involve
great expense to the county, and
thousands of dollars are sometimes
thrown away without accomplishing
any good result through the imcom
petence of the prosecutor.
In view of the serious consequences
to the county which might result to
tiie county by reason of the election
of an attorney for this office who does
not possess the necessary profession
al knowledge and skill to enable him
to protect the public, these Repub
licans are in favor of nominating for
this office an attorney who has had
experience in the practice of his pro
fession and who has proved by his
works what his ability is. My friends
point to the fact that, next to Senator
Wall, I am the oldest lawyer in the
county. For the benefit of those who
have resided in the county for only a
short period, I wish to state that I
have been in the active practice of
the law in this county for a little
over twenty-four years, and during
that time I have been employed on
one side of, nearly every important
law suit in the county. As to whether
1 have been a successful student of
the law I must leave others to be the
judge. I can at least say that I have
been a diligent student of the law.
and have endeavored to qualify my
self for my professional duties. While
as lawyers, our business does not
justify, in small country practices, as
large law libraries as are found in the
office of city lawyers, yet i can say I
possess as large a library as any law yer
in the county, and i am expending
annually about fcWO in reports and
text books eo enable me to keep post
ed in my profession. I am devoting
my time exclusively to the study and
practice of tire law, whereas some
other members of the local bar are
devoting their time principally to
some other line of business and the
taw is. with them, only a side issue.
In announcing myself as a candi
date for this office, 1 wish it distinct
ly understood that I do not regard a
nomination in the light of a political
plum or perquisite. I am neither ask
ing nor claiming any reward for
political services at the hands of the
Republican party in this county- In
whatever I do for the party
I wish to do it in the spirit
of one who recognizes that parties
are organized for the purpose
of securing good government, and I
desire to aid the Republican party in
this county in becoming the best in
strument for good government in the
county as well as in the state and
nation.
Nor do I look upon the gift of tills
office as a gratuity or {tension for the
incumbent of the office. Pensions
are not for civilians but for those who
have offered their lives in the defense
of their country. I have too much
self respect to desire the emolument*
of this office without rendering an
equivalent in service to the people o
this county. If nominated and elect
ed to tiie’ office, I should expect u,
earn the salary and should not regard
it as the only or principal function of
an officer to draw his salary. 1 should
expect to serve the public as well and
as faithfully as I would serve a pri
vate client. Whatever professional
knowledge and skill I possess should
be devoted to the interests of the
public and their cause should be
prosecuted by me with the same dili
gence and vigor that I use in tiie
vause of other clients. In the con
duct of the office I should have no
private interests or animosities to
serve, but should endeavor to look
wholly to the public welfare.
I may say that there has never been
a time in the history of the Repub
lican party when I could more cheer
fully serve under its banners. At the
head of the party and at the head of
tiie nation stands the greatest presi
dent and tiie greatest republican that
has arisen since Abraham Lincoln,
and the republican who is ashamed
of his party today ought to be rele
gated to everlasting oblivion.
R. J. Nightingale.
