Am a goodly number of the middle-of-the road fellows haven't recovered yet ant they won't , this election. THK Republican nominee for count ] surveyor "knows a hawk from a hand saw" when it comes to surveying. II < will continue to do the necessary survey ing for Red Willow county in the future as he has almost ever since the couiitj was organized. . JUST remember that Fred Kinghon was man enough to shoulder a uiuskei and fight for the flag in the dislanl Philippines with the gallant First Ne braska , and there will be no doubt ii your mind that he is man enough tc make Red Willow county a good sheriff JUDGE BISHOP has delighted hi ; friends and surprised and confomi'lei his enemies if he has anyy his ex cellent conduct of the office of count } judge. When the votes are counted ii : November "Phil" Sheridan will hardly realize that he was in the race. The people of this county recognize in Judge Bishop a "good thing" and they will push him along to certain success at the polls. MANY years of varied experience and practice in educational matters , and a constant keeping in touch with the latest and best in modern educational methods , make Martha J. Cordeal a most desirable nominee for county sup erintendent , and should attract to her support regardless of party affiliations , lovers of progress in matters connected with that proud boast of our civilization our public school system. A HETTER opportunity will not soon be afforded those Republicans of Red Willow who desire tc ? return to their "first-love. " Place , position and per quisites are admittedly more sought after now by the Fusionists than are principles. This leaves no room for Re publicans , who temporarily left their party for principles' sake , to vote the Fusion ticket , this fall , and especially so , when the Republican ticket is so clean and able. A MORE popular nomination than that of O. L. Thompson for county treasurer has not been made in Red Willow county in years More than any other of the nominees of the late Repub lican county convention was he the pop ular nominee of the people of the coun- t3' . Popular , too , since , he has strength ened his hold on the people during the past two years , until his election seems now to be one of the assured results of the coming election. Keep 3'our eye on Thouipsou. IT IS a pretty dimeult and wearisome job toattcnipt to satisfy the average po litical kicker. One year it is one thing another year , another but alway and ever , ferninst the government. One bauble punctured , another is inflated. Now , the trust and the terrible Philip pine war constitute the frightful bogie- nian intended to scare the timid and un sophisticated and for the use of those who want some miserable little excuse for a "kick. " And yet America is in the midst of an unprecedented era of prosperity , with opportunities unparal leled opening up before her , just the same as though the calamity howlers and the constitution sticklers were not on earth. THOSK in attendance upon the county fair were impressed with the feverishness - ness of the canvass being made by the Populist nominees and leaders. This preliminary skirmish would indicate they are unusually fearful of the result of the corning election , and that they are preparing to make a death-struggle for the county offices. This object-lesson should not be lost sight of by the Repub lican nominees , leaders and the rank and file of the part- , all of whom should organize and give "our friends the enemy" the battle of their lives. A united , loyal support of the ticket will pull it oet a winner , without the loss of one. Let their be no trading , dickering or selling out , but a square , straight campaign and the result will be a safe landing of all. JASVIJR PHILLIPS of the Indiano Reporter dosen't know whether to lau or cry over the result of the late Repu ! lican county convention. Jasper isn exactly between the devil and the dec ' hie sen , but he is in a tophet of a fi : just the same. AIIOUT the only action the middk-o the road Populist can take , this fall , i Red Willow county , is to vote the Ri publican ticket. Even the Populii organ admits that they havesurreiidere principle for pelf ; and , as the preaclu puts it , "There is no health in them. " HVHKYTIUNG looks propitious for R ( publican success in Nebraska , this fal ! With such an able lawyer and excelleu citizen as Judge Reese at the head of th Republican ticket there is no such wor as fail even though the allied opposi tion be led by Ilolcomb who may be good politician , as is claimed for him but who is no wise equal of Judge Ret-s as a lawyer or jiulge. From all over Ne braska come the cheering and encourag ing words , "Judge Reese is the man h is my first choice , " indicative of an en thusiastic support from a united Repub lican party. THK gold in circulation in the Unite ( States on September I , 1899 , was , ac cording to the figures of the treasury de partment , $672,993,192 , against $463. 995,969 at the < l te of Mr. Bryan's noun nation , an increase of nearly 50 per cent meantime , which is a rather discourag ing fact to those who insisted during tin campaign of 1896 that the gold mines o the world were not sufficient to furnisl the proper increase in the world's cur rency. The population of the Unitet States has increased about 5 per cent during this period , and with our golt increasing nearly 50 per cent meantime it is difficult to understand why tlu silver theorists should insist upon con tinning to pi ess for the free coinage o siher. THK Republicans of Nebraska are es pecially fortunate in their nominatior for judge of the supreme court. Judge M. 15. Reese is splendidly equipped tc serve the people well and honestly ir. that position. He did not seek the place in fact it is well known thai Judge Reese is more of a jurist and per haps less of a politician than his oppon ent on the Fusion ticket. But the people ple of Nebraska will make the distinction vital at the coming election by elevating to the bench the jurist Judge Reese. This nomination will rally to the Repub lican nominee many Republicans who have never been satisfied with the man ner of his retirement , some years since. Honest , conservative , affable and able , Judge Reese will call to his support a following from all parties which will make his election certain. JUDGE NORKIS , our present and next judge , needs no introduction to the people ple of this district. Hs is well known all over the district and is as highly es teemed as his acquaintance is wide spread and general. This district has never had a better judf-e. so all admit. His record on the bench during the past four years has been highly creditable and very satisfactory. Contrary to statements made during the campaign of four yeais ago. he has proven to he the friend of the unfortunate farmer , and it has not been his pleasure to rob them of their homes and farms , but the rather he has given them every oppor tunity to protect and preserve them. In idditiou to being a lawyer of ability , he lias shown himself to be possessed of that more uncommon quality the judic ial mind. Precinct Primary.
