The democrats hind sights are
. markably good. Republican
leaders and measures are gener-
' . lly endorsed by them after thej
have passed into history.
. A hail storm struck in tbe vicinity -
cinity of Hastings Sunday morn-
111g about 1 o'clock and destroyed -
ed 2,000 acres of crops and demolished -
molished windows in the city of
Hastings.
- - . . . . -
The democrats assert in their
platform that they want to clead
out the Augean stables ! With
plutocracy in the saddle are 110t
I their claim just a little in-
consistan 1.
Tbe republican party found an
empty treas ry in 1897. See the
- ontrast now. A larger accumulation -
lation of gold than ever before
knowu and our financial standing
ranles first with all nations.
.
The country has not yet forgotten -
,
gotten the great financial disaster
of Clevelands admini tration
from ' 93 to ' 96 and none but the
hide bound partisan of democratic -
cratic faith will have any desire
t 'see his man Friday , succeed to
the presidency.
.
It is the pride of every Ameri-
cau , that this country is today
the leader in the world's civi1iza
tionprogress nd power. Is it not
worth while for the voter to rem -
m mber that this splendid state
f affairs has been brought about I
by the wise administration < ! f. .
McKinley and Roosevelt. What'
has been achieved by ( lemocratic
rule ?
The republican party can ex-
pecl tbe vote of the farmers this
year , because it has furnished
better prices and better marlcets
for their products during the republican -
publican administration than
ever before. But the democrats
are not expecting the farmer
vote , but will depend upon the
plutocrats of the eastern states
and the democrats of the south
to gain supremecy.
Neither the nominees tJor the
platform of the democratic party
re satisfactory to the populist
element that have been flirting
with the democrats for several
years past. They will now assert -
sert their manhood by supporting
a man of the people , who no1
only stands for principle but fqr
.
the best interest of the comm0l1
people. 'fbat man is Tlll odor
Roosevelt , the republican nomi.
nee.

Tbe democrats have succeedel
in < leveloping an other Jonah ilJ
. : their man Parker. He was ver )
"
"quiet until he heard that tb (
I convention was about to swallo"
Ihim. . After it had lcnoclced out the
gold standard plank , he could n (
longer lceep still but bol.dly as' '
serted his confidence in the gold
standard for which David Hit

I ys Uuli Ahuigh ty aud not the
r publicun party is entitled to
credit. But unlike the whale
with 'Jon h , the democrats were
unable to get rid of Parker and
they are forced to take him with
his Cleveland and gold standard
tendencies whether tbey want to
or not.
From the experience the Rus.
sians are get ting they should be
experts on the retreat.
Whatever may be said against
W. J. Bryan it can not be said
successfully that he is not a
powcr in the democratic catpp.
With great odds against him he
succedded111 modifying the qem-
ocratic platform so as to rob it of
its most offensive position against
his monetary views.
Four years ago the republican
party declarcd in favor of the
gold standard and won against
Bryan's frce silver theory. Now
the democrats see it is a good
thing and have nominated a
candidatc for president who endorses -
dorses it. They now denounce
President Roosevelt. 'Nill they
not 'endorse his great statesmanship -
ship four years hence as they do
Lincoln and Mcl inley now.
'l'.he county of Howard has a
bonded indebteduess of $23,000
and the board of supervisors have
made a ,20 millievey to run the
county business. Custer county
with no indebtedaess and only 8
mill levy should convince all .of
us that ottl Custcr is not a bad
place to live in after all.-Ansley
Chronicle.
Cut Custer county into four
coun.ties the sizc of Howard and
it would not be many years un.til
either of the four would be in
the 'same boat with Howard
county.
Tllo ] ) ewocratlc Ticket.
As was generally conceeded ,
Judge Parkcr of New York , was
nominated for presidcnt. His
nomination was secured on first
ballot. His strongest competitor
Col. Hearst , only received 114
votes.
The nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent is Henry G. Davis of West
Va. He is said to be a railroad
president. and a national banker
and is a .multi-millionaire. In his
younger days he served a term in
thc Virginia legislature and was
a member of the United States
Senate two terms , 1871 and 1893.
He is now eighty one years old
and can not be expected to de
much but contribute of his mil.
lions to the campaign fund.
Judge Parker notified the con.
vention by telegram tbat he wa !
in favor of the gold standard ant
if elected be would stand fOI
gottl. This was a hard blow Ot
the Bryanites , who had labore (
so hard and succe ded in elimin ,
ating the gold standard plan1
from tbe platform.
Neither tbe nomineees nor th
platform is satisfactory to th
rank au < 1 file of the democrati
. party. 'Vhile Parker suits th
gold democrats of the east th
platform does not and the de me
.
rats of the west are not please
l with either Parker or the pIal
form. Tbe gcneral dissatisfa (
tion shouttl and donbtless will it
crcase tbe rf.publicau majoritic
both east an west.
VountJ Supervisors.
All the other officers havinj
been nominated but the townshi
officers and supervisors of tb
districts it is time that the vOtCI
of the several districts shoul
take up the question of supervi !
ors. The districts in whic
supervisors are to be elected 301

'l'he pregent incumbents of these
several districts are J. T. Arthur
of Comstocle , G. II. 'l'horpe of
Brolten Bow , J. H. McGuire of
Arnold , and G. Hiser of Mason
City. 'l'hree republicans and
one populist is the political complexion -
plexion of the mem ers whose
terms expire with this year.
'l'he members who hol4 over are
.Geo. Greenwalt of Elton , Jos.
Fennimore of Cliff , and A. li'onda
of' Oconto. .
'l'wo populist and one republican -
can hold over. This situation
makcs it a matter of special interest -
terest to republicans that no
candidate should be selected in
either of these districts whose
election is doubtful. 'Vhile each
ot these districts gave repnblican
majoritics for the regents from
12 to 118 last general election it
does not follow that anyone that
may aspire to a nomination in
either of these districts can be
elected. In local politics the
popularity of the candidates often
go farther than party loyalty or
business qualifications. This being -
ing the case not only the business
qualifications but the popularity
of thecandidateschosr.n : shouttl be
carefully considered by the delegates -
gates in making their nomina-
tions. The success of the party
is of greater paramount than the
personal interest of any man.
'fhe best interest of the party
should in every instance be con-
sidered. 'rhe republicans can
elect in each of these districts if
these principles are ladheared Ito
in making. the nominations. In
districts where the nominations ,
are to be made by delegates , the
delegates chosen hould canvas
thoroughly the standing of each
candidate and agree upon the
one about whose election there
is no question. Select one who
can poll the party strength and
. his election is' assured.
The RnpuDLIcAN does not desire -
sire to dictate in any case the
nominees farther than above
stated , but in order that' the
voters may be , informed , an in
justice to the several candidates
we deem it best to give the n mes
of the republicans who are mentioned -
tioned as candidates in the several -
al districts , In District No.1 ,
,
John Scotti No. 3 , G. H. 'fhorpe ,
A. D. Bangs and C. R. Lucei
No.5 , J. H. McGuire of Arne tl ,
Fred Drum of Callaway. In
District No.7 , Mr. Hiser , the
present incumbent is the only
one we have heard spoken of
generally , yet he IS not an active
. candidate , preferring that his
constituents be free to select
' "
who ever they regard best.
In each of the districts , except
Broken Bow delegates hav been
chosen , but the conventions have
. not yet been called. As Broken
Bow district is composed of but
one township the custom has
been to name lhe candidate for
supervisor at the township caucus
at the same time township officers
are nominated. In this way
every republican voter has an
opportunity to express his preference -
ference for supervisor. The Bro-
teen Bow caucus will be called in
time for all to be notified and in
tbe meantime they can be mak.
1-
ing up their mJUds on their
s preference.
The Electric Ualrond.
Last Thursday night abou1
sixty of the citizens of Brokel1
Bow assembled at the Court
House to meet the railroad com.
mittee of Arnold , to bear repori
of the progress made on deter.
mining the feasibility of the. pro.
posed electric line of railroat
1. from Gandy to Broken Bow ,
The meeting was held under th (
auspices of the Business Men'f
Organization of which MayO !
Apple is president.
Mr. Jacob Miller of Arnold
who is chairman of the commit ,
tee on promotion , and Mr
Holmes , the surveyor of Denver
were present and discussed the
various phazes of the enterprise
Among the citizens of Brokel
Bow , talks were made by Messer :
A. R. Humphrey , Dr. C. Pickett
Judge H. M. Sullivan , R. G
, ,
. . . ' '
. . . ' .IU .I. . . . . . . . . . . . " 17 l .
Moore , P. M. RutJlec D.nd 8 , J.
Loncrgan and others.
'l'he surveyor estimated' thread
road could be built for $3,000 a
mile and at no place would the
grade exceed 3 per cen t. He
estimates twe dam could be : built
for $20,000 in the South Loup ,
capa.ble of furnishing 200 horse
power. IIe estimated the cost of
tbe road would not exceed two
thirds the cost of a standard road
and that tbe expense of running
about one tenth.
A committee of tbree , Messers
Humphrey , Lonergan nd Rublee
were elected to act with the gen-I
eral committee in the prospect . \ i
work. I I
I Surveyor Holmes left for Denver - I
ver Friday morning where be
will complete his figures regarding -
ing the cost of building and
equipment of the road. When
this report is received , another
meeting will be held at Arnold
to further plan for the construction -
tion of the road.
'fhere seems to be but little
doubt but a road of that class
would be fessible and a paying
investment. If properly planned
there is but little doubt but the
project can be financed. Brotcen
Bow stands ready fo finance her
proportionate share of the project -
ject and we believe the other
communities to be benefited are
ready to do the same.
lt is only a matter of a few
yearsat most , when electric lines
will weander through Custer
county to every thrifty community -
ity as does the telephone now.
A line from Gandy to Broken
Bow will fully demons rate the
enterprise practica le and other
lines will soon follow.

i weather during the day was all
that could be wished for , but a
heavy rain storm at night. together -

made that part of the day very
disagrceble. In spite of thisour
people report having enjoyed
themselves immensely. 'l'he entertainment -
tertainment furnished the. large
crowd for the day's amusement
was highly app'recmted , and
great credit i9 due the citizens
of Broken Bow for their excellent -

seriously injured at Taylor on
the 4th. During the ball game
a ball accidently struck him in
the face and mashed his nose
and cheek bones in. The doctors -
tors used every means to care for
him and at present he is in a fair
way of-recovery.
The people of Custer county
have reason to be thankful , as
we have never had better prospects -
pects for a bumper crop. Sma ] ]
grain such as spring and winter
wheat , oats , rye and alfalfa are as
fine as were ever grown in the
state and while corn is not as advanced -
vanced as in sonie seasons it
promises to be an enormous yield
with favorable weather from now
on. If eastern people could look
over our farms now , special
coaches would be needed to bring
in the land'seekers.
Mabel Hall returned home
Thursday of last week from a
year's study an work in the
Baptist 'Missionary Training
School of Chicago. The course
of training and study in this
school embraces two years , and
Miss Hall expects to feturn after
her vacation and complete her
work. This institution is for
home missionary work , and is
largely attended by persons from
all parts of this country and
from other countries. It is a sad
commentary on a republic only
128 years old , that free men and
women have so degenerated that
home missionary institutions
should be needed ; but the condition -
dition is real , and the demand
for such work is everywhere ap-
parent. If political , social and
industrial conditions leads to
this degenercy , then our countries -
tries truest patriots are tbose
who re-enstate the fallen , and by
sacrifice remove the shame of a
corrupt social condition.
