AV. 11. 1'oou. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 1 hereby announce myself as a candidate for nomination as County Treasurer , subject to the Republican primaries August 17. I have been a resident of the county since 1881 , with the exception of about live years , and If nominated and elected will make every effort to conduct the ofllcu in the best interests of the tax payers U. V. JoVNlill. A. J. VanAntwcrp will make a bard working conscientious man for county surveyor. If practical training * and ex perience counts for anything A. J. VanAntwcrp ought to make a V good county surveyor. Those seventeen Democrats , of the Senate , who voted against free lumber , are likely to be ask ed to explain their vote when they desire re-election. George Porter seems to have a clear Geld as a candidate for the * Republican , nomination for regis ter of deeds and it is right that he should. If we could always get aa good men as Porter for candidates it would not be neces sary for us to devote so much attention to polities because we could rest assured that the county business would be well taken care of. Earliest Advertiser. Noah was one of the earliest advertisers. He advertised that he would sail on a certain date. Those who did not believe in advertising failed to yet tickets aud were left out in the wet without umbrellas or bathing suits. As most of thorn could not swim , they took I o the trt-es and became monkeys. The origin of the monkey is now scttled. Ex. The candidates are now get ting down to business and the race for office is warming up. If each voter at the coming primary and election is as anxious to vote for the best man as each one of the candidates is to get his vote there will be no mistake made. It is every man's duty to study the list of candidates and pick the men he believes to be the best qualified. If we Republicans do not wake up to the demands of the people for a lower tariff upon the neces sities of life , our Democratic friends , the enemy , will gi"e ua a surprise something like the congressional election of 1800. This Democratic upheaval was followed by the election of Grover - er Cleveland. That was a tariff reform expression of the people and as history repeals itself , we are at present leaving the latch string out for the Democrats to walk in. One of the most commendable things about the 4th of July celebration was the fact that the day was a very peaceable one. As a usual thing several arrests are made and very often a fight occurs. But there was nothing of the kind here on July 5th and the marshalls of the day had nothing to do but see the celebra tion. The people swere kept so busy all of the time seeing the events on the prourara that they didn't have time to stop and. think of making trouble. The public square has been so wet and muddy since the rains almost two weeks ago that it is almost out of commission so far as its being a pleasant place to spend your leasure time is con cerned. It was too muddy for the celebration and too muddy for the people to attend the band concert Saturday evening. This is due to the fact that it is so low. The sewerage system of the city seems to be s > uch as to run a considerable part of the water that falls through the streets around the square. The public square needs filling up and we need a sewerage system to carry off the surplus water. Don't think because the report er sees you getting on the train that he ought to know who you are and where you are going , or if he sees you greet some friend that he knows who they are and wheic they arc from. We aim to get all the news , but you may be one we don't happen to know. We try to become familiar with names and faces if possible , but during the years past we have been to church and failed to see you there ; we have hung around the town pump , but some of you weren't there ; we have loafed on the street ; we've even risked our reputation on back streets on a dark night but you weren't all there. And we'll be hanged if we know where to find you all. So if you are going or coming or know anybody cutting up queer capers let us know. It is rumored that the letters threatening Governor Shallen- berger with assassination for signing the 8 o'clock closing law and supposed to have been sent by an employee of one of the saloon keepers of Omaha has been sent to him in order to im press more strongly upon the minds of the people of Nebraska the fact that the forward march of the temperance movement means that several thousand men are going to be thrown out of ebployuient. No doubt the closing of saloons by the temperance workers does compel a great many men to find new employment and perhaps their remuneration is not so high for a time alter the change but this is a smull matter when you con- aider the thousands of men whom they , as liquor sellers , render incapable of earning a good liv ing and supporting a family. Political Conventions ! A law passed by the last Legislature provides that a state convention shall be held by the various parties on the last Tues day in July. This will make the convention this year come on July 27th , or a week from next Tuesday. The law also provides that a delegate county conven tion shall be held at a date prior to the time of the state conven tion. The law doea not say how these delegates to the county convention shall be chosen. If conventions are to be held ac cording to this law before July 27th to elect a county committee and delegates to the state con vention it is high time that the chairman of the party committees in this county get busy. The law goveining the new political convention is as follows : Sec. 1. Party Committees. The state , congressional , judicial I and legislative committees of the various political parties shall be chosen in such manner i as may be determined by the state central committee of each respective party. County com mittees shall be selected by the delegate convention. The various officers and committees now in existence shall exercise the power and perform the duties herein prescribed until their successors are chosen in accor dance with this act. Sec. 2 Conventions. The various political parties shall hold a delegate state convention en the last Tuesday of July , of each year. Said convention shall formulate and promulgate a state platlorui , shrill select a state central committee. No action shall be taken by said state convention , either for or against any person who is or may be a candidate for any office that is to be voted on at the next general election. There shall be held a delegate county convention in each county prior to the time of holding the state convention is provided for in this section , at which conven tion the delegates to the state convention and the. members of the county central committee shall be selected ; said convention shall transact such other business as shall pr operly come before it. Delegates to national conven tions of the various political parties shall be selected at a state or state and congressional conventions composed of dele gates chosen in such manner as may be determined by the state committees of each respective party. Provided that the dele gates to such state or state and congressional convention shall shall be appointed by such cora- uiittes to the several counties upon the vote cast at the last election for electors for president and vice president in the respec tive counties ; and , provided further , that each county shall be entitled to at least one dele gate in such convention or conventions.
