Politics IN SIXTH DISTRICT.

st. Paul Republican: Judge Klnkaid
made a very favorable impression upon all
the people he met in St. Paul last Saturday
He is plain, unaffected sort OF a fellow
who would make a typical representative o
the people OF northwestern Nebraska. Judge
Kinkaid will probably visit Howard county
again before the close Of the campaign, and
I he may rest assured Of a cordial reception
from the scores OF friends he made upon the
occasion Of his recent brief sojourn among
us.
| ONeill Frontier: Judge NJ. p. Kinkaid
can show as clean a record as any man that
! ever served the public. His enemies can
! find nothing worse against him than that he
greets his friends with a handshake. Judge
| Kinkaid's immense popularity is shown by
his carrying the Fifteenth judicial district by
big majorites all through the popullstic
times of recent years. Nothing better can
be said of him than that he has served one
people sixteen years and leaves record that
Is clean from beginning to end Such are
tho men that are needed in congress
| Kearney Hub: There is nothing spec
tacular about Judge Kinkaid's campaign for
congress, but while 1t is quiet and unpre-
tending on the judges part 1t is getting there
just the same. His meetings have been
we'll attended, his speeches are being well
| received and in all parts OF the district
there are numerous recruits under his
standard. The fact is that Judge Kinkaid
| Is a candidate in good cause, and aside
from that his personality is such as to create
confidence and command support. A few
months ago 1t looked as though the repub-
| lican canvass for congress this fall would
be hopeless, but the situation is quite DIFF
ferent now and it is reasonably safe to pre-
| dict Judge Kinkaid's election.
North Platte Tribune: That it is the plan
| OF the democrats to absorb the populist party
| in Nebraska Is made plain by the publica-
ticn in Wednesdays Bee of the corre-
epondence between NJ. C. Harrington and
| Juan Boyle. In his first letter Mr.. Har-
| rington says: After 1900 there will be
no more necessity of a third party and by
| our many sacrifices (by which he means the
| endorsement OF Neville) we will win nearly
| all the populists to our party" In second
| letter Mr., Harrington says "the future OF
| the democratic party in the Sixth district
| depends largely on the number we can
| draw from the populist ranks. There is
only one more year to wait and fusion will be
| over. There will be but two parties and the
| leaders of the democratic party now will be
| the recognized leaders then" Mr.. Harring-
| ton in these statements but voices the senti-
state, Bryan included. 1t is now question
| whether the populists will allow themselves
| to be swallowed by the democrats.
| Grand Island Independent: An outrageous
| fraud seems to have been practced in the
Sixth district in favor Of the populst can
| didate, Neville. The democratic and populist
convention Of the Sixth had not agreed, the
! first nominating Harrington, the other Ne
yi11e Ia dat for Tn
| meeting Of the high dignitaries of the de-
| mocracy in Bryans room at Omaha Har-
| rington was induced to resign. In letter
to ]. Boyle of Kearney, the chairman of
| the democratic central committee of the
Sixth district he urged Boyle to have Ne
Vile appointed by the district committee
also as democratic candidate in his place,
stating that the democrats must make sacri-
fees to the populists in order to gain them
over to the democracy, as the populists
would cease to exist as a party after 1900.
At the same time he sent a certificate, to
be sworn to by Boyle, who had been the
chairman of the democratic convention
which nominated Harrington, to the effect
that the convention had authorized the GEN.
trail committee to fill vacancies if such
occurred. But Mr.. Boyle refused to sign
this certificate, stating that no resolution
had been passed by the convention emitting
the committee to fill vacancies and that he
was not willing to perjure himself. Later
Mr.. Boyle has been induced to resign and

| found Mr.. Boyle, however, has filed pro-
test against Neville's nomination as demo-
cratic candidate with the secretary of state.
This swndle of the grand bosses will not
| improve the slim prospects Of Neville.
