How He Trtnk to Get Even wtn the Man Who Sees the Folly of His Free Silver Hersey, and to Be Elected. It liaw been wi ll known for Home time that W. J. Hryan wiik playing his trump card for the independent vote, and it hart now been proven, nays the Nebraska City l'roH, that he has coimnnated the bargain ttiat is to oecuie him that Ktipport, but at the Haoriliee of his own fel low partisan on the democratic ticket, Hon. J. Sterling Morton. There is an independent in Otoe county, who is high up in the councils of the alliance. It in im possible just now to give his name, yet the truth of what he says will hardly be doubted by careful observ ers of thecourse of politics, where their attention has been called to them. This independent and o II 1 cer of the alliance admitted, upon being (piestioned, that there now ex ists a bargain or ''tie up" between Uryan and General Van Wyck, by which both might deal their ene lilies effective blows and at the same time secure their election. Hryan Htipulates that if the general will turn to his support at the decisive time the alliance vote, he will nee to it that all of his friends whom it is well known are not very favorable to Mr. Morton, shall vote for Van Wyck. Van Wyck depends upon the oath bound secrecy of the nlliancc to follow out the bidding of the officers to carry out his part of the contract, and Uryan depends upon his personal popularity with a certain class of democrats to deliver his goods at the right time. There is every reason in the world to credit this story of the conibina lion. i'ir. i'lorton nas shown on many occasions that he does not have the highest ' respect for the "youni man effervescent " who runs on a democratic ticket and preaches free silver to tickle the ears of nlliauce members. While speaking at Lincoln, within Uryan' own district which he has loaded ho full of free silver and depre cinted money doctrine, Mr. Morton did not refrain from refuting these pet vagaries, and never since that time have Hryan's friends regardt him with favor. There have also been whispers of discontent be cause that old-styled democrat did not bow the knee to Mr,. Uryan when the latter received the en tlorsement of the congressional con vention in this city. Some of this dis . : content was even two years old at j , that time, and was held over from J i. Mr. Hryan's first nomination. At I any rate it has been only too evidence to observing ones for Home time that Mr. HrvanV friends are not crowding over one anotlu in their anxiety to support the eage of Arbor Lodge. Indeed some ; j of Mr, Hryan's warmest friends in mis cny nave oeen uearu to say Home very bitter things against the gubernational candidate of their party. It is well known that Genoa 1 Van Wyck is a sworn enemy of Mr Morton and will let no opportunity escape to deal him a fertive blow ! There are reasons for this whic ( have existed for many years; but ij the greatest is that M'. Morton has Vjl dared 10 oppose mm in a most . a "hi 3 i v v iu tin.- United States senate. It may be . tii surmised, therefore, that he was most willing to take this means of iSj; uecuring his enemy's total defeat in lj3 his own county and home. This i doubtless had its effect, then too 'i the general is no friend of the p Sliamp division of the state inde-4- pendent party. It rather belongs to the Powers' faction, and the doughty old politician has no use lor them at all. In addition to all thia it has long been know as a fact, beyond contradiction, that General Van Wyck is very favorable me WO I .... indeed to Mr. liryan. He has helped im on several occasions, and otild probably not hesitate at this j lime, wneu me opporiunuy was so promising to chagrin ail old enemy. These are nil matters which tend V to corroborbte the story of the inde- " pendent. Van Wyck, as a member V of the alliatce in high standing, V has every opportunity to acconip- lishjhis part of the bargain, and Bryan by reason of the inhereut : a i,t.i i.. ii jllttliuu " i'lta io unit UJ iiiuiseii '. and hia intimate supporters for Mr. . luortou, is aoie to wrest from wrest from the latter a large number of the demo cratic votes that would be other wise enst for him. It's a tickle-me- , ClllVt A IVOiV-j VJl lllll) fill VI most likley to be carried out if Jnot thwarted in the bud. It is probably intended by Mr. Van Wyck not to ppring the scheme upon the alii- ance until the hist moment. As the alliance did two years hito, n meet ing can be called on the night before election, the instructions given, and the voters counted. It could be pleaded that Mr. Sliamp was Mire of j defeat anyway, anil that the thing to do would be to vote for liryan. The task would be easy on that side. The effort of the Omaha World- Herald, which hashug been known as a liryan organ, t show that Shaiup is siihsidary to republican influence, is of itself something of a proof that that paper is aware of the plan. Hy this means it has sought to prejudice the independ ent voters against Mr, Sliamp before hand, so as to make the task of Iriving them over to Hryau easier. No one has ever yet been able to show how it would be possible for Mr.. Sliamp to be in favor with the republican party, nor has the World- Herald offered any proof on the matter. Iiu! that was not the idea. The rumor was enough to weaken Shainp's support, and when the time comes he will find himself de serted. These are are all f.iets which every one knows, who has read the records of the cauipaimi. They in be weighed for themselves, and judged accordingly. To prove the first assertion of the diabolical tie- up mere is only tne word ot a single independent; but that is enough to betray the scheme. The multitude of facts that come to notice at the same time, however, is the proof which no one can gain say. The Nebraska Knights. The twenty-fifth annual sess'sion of the grand lodge Knights of Pythias of Nebraska met in Geneva Tuesday and adjourned last night. The usual number of new lnws were introduced, and were nearly all disposed of (hanks to the efficiency of the committee on law and the active work of the grand chancellor, who kept everything moving rapidly. Last evening the session closed The principal feature of interest centered in the election of grand officers for the ensuing year. The following were the successful can didates: I'ast grand chancellor, Will C. Hamilton, Lincoln; grand chancellor, ' ajor William R Dale, Columbus; grand vice chancellor, C. S.

Will be Decided Next Friday 1 he garnishee cases or the State of Nebraska vs. Henry Hons was ar gued all day yesterday and part of of the money power, and he is curs of today. Several important points iug himself fearfully for his past were brought up by both sides, and every inch of ground was fought from start to finish. Owing to the number of authorities cited Judge Kainsey has taken the case under advisement until next Friday. Then he will determine as to whether the defendant, Henry Hons, will be discharged or hound over until the next term of the district court Democratic Convention. 1 he float convention of Cass and Otoe counties was hcM at the court house in Nebraska City vesterdav ifteruoon.

A complaint of insanity was filed and a warrant issued for J udge Scott's arrest. The opera-house-citv-hall build- ing is not a mere imagination but i fact.

TIME TO CALL A HALT. Harry iMurpny, the eleven-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mur phy, of Beatrice died yesterday morning under Christian science treatment of a fractured skull. The child fell down the South school stairs several days ago and was severely hurt, l he mother, who is a Christian scientist, gave him over to the care of two priests and a priestess of that faith, and though the child's skull was found to be fractured, he was given no further treatment than the incantations of the faith etirists and died this mor ing.

The citizens of Huntington, Ind., were given an opportunity to view the exhibit of "Nebraska on Wheels No. 2" yesterday. The opportunity was generally accepted. A men ner of the Western Lime works to day informed a representative that if the cement of Gage county was generally as good as the sample exhibited, he was ready to invest a large sum in a plant in Nebraska. Samples of the raw material will be sent to him and tested. 9 m tiovernor noyu inursday ap pointed Chas Ogden of Omaha to be judge of the Fourth judicial dis trict to fill the vacancy ' caused by the resignation of Judge Doane, H I A 1 j ne telephone management are building a metallic circut between Plattsinouth and Lincoln by the way ot Nebraska City. They have a large force of men at work and they entered the city today with the line. The city hall-opera houst project is gaining ground everyday. The citizens of Plattsinouth are urgent in their demands for the two new buildings. The backers of William Jennings Bryan have had to take water. For some time past they have been blowing around town about the young man eloquent and his chances of election and were will ing to back it up with good hard dollars. One of them was called down last week on a $a00bet and to day another was called down on a $100 bet. The republicans have found out that wind is cheap and they have evidently inherited it from their idol but when it comes to a show down they have to shut up and silently steal away, and kick themselves for their foolishness. The democrats are trying to keep up a brave front, although they have no more idea of Bryan's elec tion than they have of Grover Cleveland's. The sale of Anderson Root which occurred yesterday was one of the largest ever held in Cass county. Everything sold brought a good price and everybody was a pur chaser. As W. A. Reese went to his barn Saturday morning he found his run ning mare standing on three legs with the fourth dangling loose. On examination it was discovered that the right hind leg was broken near the stifle joint. As it could not be re paired the animal was taken out and killed. It was found that the large bone in the hip had been broken and shattered in a dozen or more pieces.

Are Still Investigating. The World-Herald has the follow ing to say regarding the coroner's jury who are investigating the death of Mayor Miller of South Omaha. "The coroner's jury investigating the death of Mayor Miller of South Omaha, was in session Wednesday afternoon and last night and again yesterday afternoon. All these ses sions are held behind closed doors and reporter are kept out as rigidly as the cholera. The attorney for the late mayor's family is anxious for the jury to now return a verdict, but this can tiot he done, as three of the jurors want to sift the case to the bottom. The South Omaha police, Omaha police and the sheitT and deputies are on the hunt for the mysterious man in gray coat and vest and sandy mustache. He has disap peared from the face of the earth about the two cities and notwith standing a rigid search, he cannot be found. There is no doubt in the minds of the jury but when this nun isbrought in and he can clear the mystery now shrouding the death or .Mr. tinier, llus mans friend, a stout and heavy-set fel low, dressed in dark clothes, who was also seen with Mr. Miller, has also disappeared and cannot be found. One of the jurors said he would be in favor of adiotirninir the inquest for thirty or sixty days if necessary, in order to give the police time to apprehend these two men. J here was a sensational rumor around town yesterday to the effect that on the day Mr. Miller was found, a woman saw a carriage or hack drive down the road and stop tor a few minutes almost at the exact spot where Mr. Miller was found. This woman is being looked for, as well as the parties who started the rumor, so that the jury can uegin getting down to tacts." Weeping Water Doings. From the Republican. The fact that the democrats did not name a man for county com inissioner may be considered as an endorsement of the republican nominee, Mr. Hays, who if elected will do the right thing for the dis trict ami the county in an impartial manner.
