The democart and pop stale con trol committees have decided to hold a fusion convention -Lincoln , kk'plembcr 17. For men ol business ability , in telligcnce and high moral chandler , the nominees on the republican ticket rank among the best. The republican ticket is one that any republican can vote for with a clear/consciunce. / As wo are poi- sonally acquainted with all of them bccpt : the candidate for coroner we know whereof wo speak. The managers of the silver republican - publican party Ir-ld an inquest over its remains at Lincoln lanl .week , and brought in a verdict of death for want of cause for existence. Noilhor Townu nor Teller are r.r- porled to have attended iho funeral. Bryan was there. l F. E. Van Antwerp , the republi can nominee for surveyor , complains that it falls to his lot so often to have to chase populist animals. Two years ago ho was forced into chasing a ( Kuoon ) all over the county , and this year to chase one of their The pop state central committee have made an assessment against each county in the state of 82.00 for each delegate to the slate con vention lo pay the debt inoiured last year.

Sheriff Eli , as lie was walking down the street alone a few days ago , with head down , apparently in a deep study observed by' ' one of his pop brothorn to bo whistling ' 'Marching through ( loorgia" . Our informant was impressed with the thought that it was only the prelude to the ohorns in which all of the OQiirt IIOUHO cHuk will join us they mircll put of the court house on the first of next January. The County A ? wo predicted the populists papers would do , they are now ohargini ! up tbo deficit in the counly finances lo the republican it. board. > This is a clenr ease of the real culpirl yelling thief , thief to divert the attention of the public from . .himself. Last fall when the f UK ion board , found that a majority of the mem bers wore republican , they met I and reconsidered their action in making u fourteen mill levy they bad mttdn in Juno and reduced the levy to seven mills. As the tax list had been made upon the hasia of the 14 mill levy their action re quired the extra uxponsu of mak ing ever the now tax books. At the time it was done the Ko- publican protested , on the theory that the 7 mill levy was not snllioi- ont to meet the current expenses of the county and the action of the populist members of the hoard , as republican members opposed the reduction actuated by loaders of the populist parly only for political buncombe * , The purpose was to try to make it appear that the populitU board , had they boon given the op portunity would run the expense of the county on half the levy that had formerly boon mado. This.was done in the face of the fact that for tbo ton years in . whioh they bad boon in control they had made a - . levy to the full rstt-Jil of the law and in sumo instances exceeded the limit in order to moot the expenses. Knowinji the oxpci-nos of thn county cntiM not bu mot with a hovnn mill | , .vy on the prcHrnt assi'HStd val uation of the county they know a deficit would follow. As n republican board would bo in control when the deficit wan made manifest they hoped to nuke the public bnllnvo thut llu ; lepub'ioau ' parly was responsible and Ihus prejudice the tax payers against the u-publioan party and cause iluin to return Iho populists to power. Hut the scheme is ho guilty none but an imhuoil can hi- caught by it. I'hoHO who know anything about county linanuuii know iho current expensed of the year must bo mot from iho levy of Iho year previous. If ihcrc is a deficit in funds , i is the hoard of last year and not the presotil board that iu responsible for iho shortngi > . If llioro was no olhor reason why the populibts should not be returned to power in lliis county , this acl of iho coiinly board should bo Hiifh'uient. When the loaders of a party become so corrupt that they will resort to such taclics to retain themselves in office they brand Ihemsolves wholly un worthy and incapable of the con fidence and tiMiut of the public. The llcniililiwm Nominees. Tlio republican party did itself proud last Satuad-iy iu the nomina tion of its candidates for county oiliccH. The first nomincd was C. O. Lind of Waypo township , for the office of register of dr.cdp. llo lives in the extreme Houlhwcsl parl of the county and is at present chairman of iho county boaid of supervisors and is well acquainted with county affairs. Ho is a uuccosBful farmer , a highly respected citizen and a man , of good business , qualifi cations. Strictly hones ! , temperate and gf high moral character and in every .way worthy the the support of all , regardless of former party atlilialions , who boliovu in character being 0113 of the first qualifications nooofsary foru public servant. G'eo. W. Dewey , of Gales , the nominee for county clerk is ono of iho substantial farmers of Lillian township. For a number of years he lias resided in this/county and was twiuo elected , ' a member of the county board from bis diotriot , which at iho time had a large ma jority of populistH. Mr. Dewey as a member of the county board was recognized by : ill who know his rec ord as ono of the most careful con- narrative and fair in em burn that over served in thai capactily. llin stale- mcnl in his riveptio ; : speech lo the effect if elected ho "wouhl see lhat noiu ) of the papers got away" ia charctorifllic of the man. While genial and accomodating , if elected ho will not oilly show no partiality in his office but ho will see to it that the county's properly and the inter cats of the tax payers are carefully protected. His character is above reproach. Walt Weorgo of OJeorgolown the nominee for treasurer , has been so loni' a resident of the countv and ( j often bufoic' the public a a candid - did at u lhat his name is a household word and is familiar to every oni > . Ho has never been a candidate for office on his own motion bul Iwiee before has been iho party's nominee against his wishes. He is a loyal republican , a tireless worker nt what ever ho undertakes and a good citizen , well qaulilicd and popular at homo and abroad. Hecausu of these high qualifications ho is regarded as an exceptional strong cnndidato and for the third time has been foiced to accept a place on the republican ticket , On bulb of Iho former occasions ho was dyfoat- ed only by small majorities. This ( line the lesults in/all probability will bo different. Mr , George is ono of the the parly settlers of Iho county. He is interest ed in stock raising and farming and is ono of the owners of the ticorgo < town flowering mill. Ho is n care ful and succesful business man and should UN bo the choice of tlu 1 peopletho money would bo absolute' ly safe in bin hand ? , J , A , Armour the pomincn for comity judge located at Westorvillo in the practice of law twenty yearn ago. It was the only town in iho couhty. llu wisthen a yonngman , Afier the advent of the rail road end Ati'ley was started ho moved with his family to thai pluco where he ccnlinilnd in iho praulico of l w until three years ago , when he moved to Broken Uow to assume the duties of county judge , the ollicu lo which ho had been elected Iho fall previous. For three years and a half ho has filled the position in an able , fearless , fair and highly successful manner to all with whom ho hr.s had lo deal. Knowledge of 1 iw , his oxporoincc as a praclioneer , his natural scnso of juslicu irgother with bis high moral and chrislian character eminently quali fies him for the high position that few are qualified to fill acceptably. He was not a candidate for the ollico and plead with his friends not to' nominale bun as he preferred tea a ain cngagu in the piautioo of 1m chofon profession. But the tout ! in tint for his renr initiation wau too strong for him to oveionme it and ho was reuominated by acclama tion. The office of county judge as well as that of county superintendent are two offices that should not be limited by years , but by satisfactory service. Moro than aknowledgo of law is necessary for a coun'y ' judge and more than a knowledge of books is required to successfully fill the position of county superintendent , That Judge Armour willbe re'elcct- ed is generally oouceedod. R. D. Sullivan , of Glister pre cinct , the nominee for sheriff , is a hii'blv respoMiod citizen , farmer nnd stock raiser ot his locality. Ho is u native of Iowa , and is about thirty years old. In connection with hit ) farming and stock raising , ' ho is a professional auotioneor more than ordinary ability iu that lino. Ho is a man gf strong con viction * and courage , fearless in the defense of right and iu the exposure of wrang. He is a man of moro Ihati ordinary , natural ability , a fluent and interesting pub lic speaker , earnest and enthusiastic in what he undertakes. He is a man strong in his political and lomporance views , but is not the man thai would bo term apartisan or icmporanoo crank but connoeds others a ri ht to their convictions. Ho is not addicted to immoral habits , and is strictly honest , up right nnd n law abiding citizen , practicing what ho preaches. We predict in case ho is olectcd , ho will make an ideal sheriff. John W. G. Lewis , the candidate for superinlondenl , ia one of the young men in which the county lakes pride. Ho is not a Cusler county product in 'birth , but in manhood , llo is a native of Illi nois. Ho uamo to ( Junior county in 1870 or 1.880 , with his parents , who located on'government land near where Broken Bow is now located. His mother taught the first school of the district in her own benne in 1881 , in which John was ono of her pupils , and uflorwards taught the first fiohool of Broken Bow. Ho graduated with the class of laO.I , along with J. E. Adamson , W. W. Waters , Minnie Amsberry , .loo Ride , Etta Richardson , Verdn Thorpe , Minnie Sigler and Katu Uooloy. After teaching for a while Mr. Lewis entered iho Grand Is- r , and Baptist College , where he graduated with high honors , re ceiving the degree of A. B. Since graduating ho has been engaged in teaching and for three years has been ono of the instructors of the Ouster County Summer School or Instilule , and has had charge of two county institutes outside of Ouster county this year. As a thorough and logical teacher , ho stands second to none that have taught in Ouster county inslitutos. Ho is a young man , but mature in knowledge and wisdom. The teaolurs who have been under his nation the past throe summers are among his strongest supporters , Ho not only made his way throngl college by his own efforts but miuutained his mother and younger brother and encouraged the other brotlicrH to attend college part of iho time after hu entered. He is a mm of high moral arid Christian character and in every way highly qualified for thn important position of superintendent of schools of tin- countv. Politically , he is a repub lican , ami cant bis first vole foi president for McKinley and the re publican ticket. , F. E. VanAntworp of 'Wood River township , the unanmioiiH choice of the convention for surveyor , is a farmer. He is'a civil engineer and during his long residence iu the county has done a great deal of private work in in that line. Although he was never honored with the office of county surveyor ho did a throat deal of county work as deputy under E. N. Bishop in the early history of the county. Mr. ' VanAnlworp having been nominated severn limes for the position , by the re publicans when there.was no chance for election , owing to the great majority of pDpulist-j , protested against having his name used again for the position. But his friends would not listen and have again made him the unanimous choice of the party by acclamation. MT. Van Antwerp is a good citizen and highly compelant lo fill the' posi tion and there bhould bo no qup&- lion of his election. Dr. E. K. Kobiiiaon of Mason Cityx was honored with the nomina tion of coroner. Wo are not person ally acquainted with him. Ho boars the reputation of being a very suc cessful practicing physician and is eminently qualified to hold an inquest over the remains of the populist party aftoi the 5th of November next , which is to be one of his first official acts.
