The populist county convention met
at Society hall last Friday and pro
ceeded to do their political stunt.
Populism is pretty dead in Nebraska,
as it is all over the union, hut the
Sherman county populists did not
seem to know it. and met with somt
tliing of their old-time enthusiasm,
and from the way they enthused one
would think they had been enjoying
a regular old-fashioned Rip Van
Winkle sleep and were not aware of
the changed condition of things in
which the democrats had captured
their orginizatioris everywhere, while
the republicans had ‘‘robbed" them of
the few good principles they hud
advocated in the past and left them
stranded, high and dry. so to speak,
so far as issues were concerned. How
ever. they flashed a set of resolutions j
with all the gusto of a live party. and
put candidates in the field with all
the confidence in their election that
the blind horse has in the master it
knows. The canvention did one good
tiling, however, and that was a just,
though tardy, recognition of their
party newspaper man, Editor E. A.
Brown, by naming him their nominee
for representative, and though lie
may not come within hailing distance
of election, it gave evidence of their
recognition of tils services for the
party through the long weary years
of the past when lie has upheld the
party banner with unceasing energy.
They also nominated for county at.
• ney. Itobt. H. Mathew, the young
est attorney in their party, lie having
no opposition in the convention. But
the feature of the day were the reso
lutions, read by that prince of wire
workers. Lou Rein, some of which
came like a thunderbolt from a clear
sky, and as unexpected by the hearers,
or many of them. In the main t-hfv
dealt out the old populistic diet, hut
in some respects were astounding to
those interested. To give an illustra
tion. we give the following heartless
stab to the heart of Geo. II. Gibson,
which was all the more heart-rending
from the fact that only the day pre
vious he had appeared at the Loup
City populist caucus and told the
Ians lie was "with them.” Here it is:
W'r condemn the facts now offidaUy disclosed
Sj} doubt the legality of our taxes in
this county far years 1901 and 1905. and de
plore the resuitapt ccuditipn of things in the
Offices of the county cleric anu rvdttj' treas
urer. arising from ihe utter incompetent!’ Pf
periods neglect of the late republican county
clerk, Oibeon, jn his puerile manipulatiions
and doctoring1' up of the records for the pur
pose of laying the foundation for his own
political advancement at the expense and Id
annoyance of the taxpayers of the eounty at
large.
And wouldn’t that make the saints
weep? Turn down a man who has
helped them by proving traitrous to
(.ho jsiiiy that gave him four years
of official paf loiingtiy But then, why
continue the woeful tales' This leaves
ijibson with no political liome, a iruji
without a party, a political outcast,
lie must porforce organize a party of
Ills own. He can now expend alj )ii~
energies in getting up one to iiis own
liking. And wouldn’t it lie a daisy?
But can he find enough of hisown ilk
to even make a ticket? lie might
get one up "By Petition," making it
[is follows: For Representative, G. H.
i.ihson; For County Attorney, G. H.
(.iig,un Ti L would give him two
chance!;. We give him chip idc.j
gratuitously.

to Omaha Monday, on business con

leading light.

The first day of the race meet and
base ball tournament yesterday was
a pronounced success, so far as the
races and base ball were concerned,
the races being very good and the
ball game between Arcadia and
Wiggle (’reek one of intense Interest,
resulting in favor of Arcadia by a
score of 14 to 11, and a much larger
crowd lieing in attendance than was
anticipated for the first day. Space
and going to press early this morning
prevents extended comment. Today
will be of special interest, the free
for-all jace being expected to prove
very exciting, while the outcome of
the ball game yesterday will put both
teams on tbeir mettle today. The
crowd today promises well this morn
ing.

late hour, Tuk Nobthwestbhs
records that the entertainment was
par excellence in every detail, the
work of Miss Graves in her talks and
musical illustrations regarding meth
ods to interest the little ones in
school work being interesting and in
structive to old and young alike,
while tl>esecond part of her program,
being music more fpr the adult por
tion of her audiepce. gave evidence
that she possesses a voice of great
power and sweetness and by far (he
best listened to by a Loup City
audience in years. Too much praise,
also, cannot be given the local talent
who gave her such valuable assistance.
