LINCOLN , Nob. , July 22. [ Special to Tun
BIK.- : ] was good haying weather today.
The thermometer stood at 05 oil the street ,
while in the corridors of the Capitol hotel ,
the one that Iku Lansing wore on his back ,
registered iWO. John Steon's weather machine -
chino exploded just us it reached the 400
mark , mid Just us Al Ewan was about to say
"Isn't she. u daisy ! " x
But there were nioro farmers than hay.
Fnrnu'r W. T. Hlchiirdson , us lie followed
despair acrosi thomcadowof disappointment ,
tried to mnko hay. Farmer Hess Hammond
were n badge which rend , "Make hay while the
sun shines. " Farmer SI Alexander wanted to
Insure Tom Bunion's crop of buy Farmer
Jud Wright said that ho wishcd'that Charley
Holmes and Juke Dew and Sam Davidson and
Tom Appelget had brought their hay and
come to Lincoln nnd baled It in Dan Osgoou's
headquarters. They were afraid Johnson
county would get something , .It seemed , nnd
they made hay nt home. Fanner Tlmyer
tried to make liny. Farmer Palmer tried to
make , hay for him. lu fact , It wus tlio hay
day of all the farmers mid they tire still in
the Held.
This afternoon there Is a now combination
on the boards that seems to have some
strength. Lceso has drawn his scalping
knife and says that Bcnton , Cowdery and
Stccn must go that Beaten eannot , like
Arteimis Ward , who wns willing to sacrifice
his wife's relations In the war , save him
self by throwing the others overboard.
Ho wants Sutherland of Burt to run for
Auditor of state , Nettleton of Clay to run for
laud commissioner mid some other untl-ino-
nopollst for secretary of stale. In this deal
Lease ties up with Richards , The prolil-
_ bltion element , believing that Richards suits
them better than any other man yet named ,
will unite on Uichnrds. Bteuurt of Kearney ,
candidate for'attorney general and at present
a deputy of Lecso , is for Hlcluirds ; and so it
seems that Lecse , in his desire to throw Benton -
ton , will take up Wchards , who
bun friendly relations with the Fremont -
, mont & Klkhorn Vnlloy - , n > ad , mid
trv to innlto him governor.
Benton i-j in favor 'Of- Jack MncColl , 'and"
MacColl's men in turn nre Benton men. But
Mr. Leeso may fail to deliver his slate , but
he Is trying hard to niako It win.
Another Richards nnd prohibition scheme
comes to light this afternoon. Last night
some twenty editors of the country press had
n secret mooting and formed a combination
of editors , calling themselves the republican
state press , and resolved that they would
only support certain measures , which uro sup
posed to ho in the interest of Hichnrds
und prohibition. The fact 'that there nro
over three hundred republican newspapers in
Nebraska seemed to cut no figure. This
handful of faithfuls , like tbu Tooloy street
tailors , resolved that wo , the Nebraska
editors , do so and so. Wednesday evening
may show , however , that "tho best laid plans
, of mice and men pang aft agloo. "
" Tom Swolm , Frank Uausoni , Will Gurley.
Ben Baker , E. W. Slineral , Dave Mercer ,
Judge H. J. Davis , J. W. Eller , John T.
Clarice , II. T. Clarke , A. L. Wiggins , Henry
Bolln and Judge Stcuborg came down from
Oniuhn nt noon. They are all nt worn for Br.
Mercer , and It is a bard working lot of poll-
41 "Inns. They will bo reinforced on each ar
riving train.
There are n dozer ! combinations suggested ,
hut ull of them except the Leeso matter will
fall uwny und cannot bo counted upon except
us wild speculations.
Governor Tlmyer has been at his head
quarters all day and ninny visitors have
called to wish him success. Colonel Husscll
nnd Captnin Palmer have been close at hand
nnd whispers and earnest talks have been
frequent.
I was stiuck with the appearance of Kny-
ner's room lust night. Ho was seated at a
walnut table , mid In n half circle , directly In
front of him , sat a dozen delegates from Sid
ney nnd tbo sand hills , Kiiyner , with his
happy wealth of hair , looked like a spiritual
istic medium who mlghtlmvo been the seventh
son of u seventh son trying to coinmuno
with the spirits of all politicians who have
gone iMjforo. But there wus a "miry u irip. "
The table did not move and tlio saint , who ,
of all men , should have had tlio ear of de
parted ones , was reminded that none of the
spirits had been instructed for him.
tlcorgo HnstlnjrV room was deserted today ,
, ns ( Jeorgo had to bout home to see that
Saline county did Iho proper thing. II. M.
Wells , his lieutenant , telephoned in at a
o'clock that "haying was lino. "
I'ut Hawes , detonate nt largo , Is holding t
sennco tliU afternoon , and giving uorvoua
people tips on the situation.
At noon Ciovciiiur Itlchard , Imd dcsertcc
his room , gene to dinner , and \VII1 Hid
1'oore , MiieColl's right hand man , wrote tin
following verso nnd pinned It on the stomaul
6f Koss Hammond , who was graceful ! '

In the meantime , Jack MacColl sat opposite
Mr. Hlchnrds at the table taking soup will
him. each declaring totho other that ho wouh
bo the winner. Mr. MacColl has not lariatei
nny Union Pact tie engines lu order to collec
Dawson county taxes today.
Bnvo Stevenson , who held the office of surveyor
voyor general In its declining dnys , will come
up from Kiflmrdion county , The haymakers

'Weaver could add to the interest from thl
county If It came with the Uichardsoa dele
gation.
Theiii nro two contesting delegations fron
Ked Willow county ulrcndy In the Held am
promise a merry war. Olio or two other con
tests have been predicted , but tho\ have no
materialized ns yet. The Ked Willow countj
contest , urlsliiff over tbo county seat cantos
between McCook and Indluiiohi , will bo upoi
the lloor ot the convention for sottleinVnt , urn
furnish the llrst bloodshed hi the great con
filet.
Captain Hill wns nt Beatrice today watch

there urn ! the sound of the contest lu the con
. vcntlou ut Siillno county met over Lincoln
_ /l nnd added to the uproar. His conceded ,

delegation to lead off for his renoinlnntion.
The Cass county delegation is an anomaly.
It bus in Us nuikup radical alliauro men
and tlio muster inechunlu of the BurliiiKton
road. This delegation will present for lieutenant -
tenant governor It. B. Wlndhaniof Plutts-
mouth , a inlld-uiunncivd gentleman , who rep
resented his county lu the legislature some
ugg and who h lu favor of tbo prohiul-
ory amendment. Only the advance guard

essfully cornered the Flllmoro county delc-
'atlon and left a dead governor in his wnko
is ho moved to the convention , has opened
lu-ndquimcrs and Is receiving the hand shak-
ngs of friends.
Ike Lansing , the singing pilgrim , moves In
ils majestic way among ; the delegates. Al-
hough Lancaster county sat linn and hind
ipon his aspirations , even denying his
irolher-ln-huv n ceat upon the deleuntlon ,
till hojio springs eternal In the pilgrim's '
iro.ist and ho has the faith of the filters that
iln supplications will not bo In vain.
At this writing , Church Howe and the
Somalia ( lolejjntlon have not arrived. Tom
Majors and Judge Stull are each on the dele-
rat Ion , and it will require a coach for each of
he throe on the train , A freluht train has
wen chartered to transport Howe's ' null-
nonopoly resolutions to the front and a con
signment of Majors' Justly celebrated turnip
litters to oxhllomto the hitter's boom. Jurvls

Judge F. O. Hnnicr of Buffalo countv , one
of the Judges of the Tenth Judicial district , Is
In the throng. Ho tolls me that ho is a can
didate for congress from the Third congres
sional district. Buffalo county passed resolu
tions strongly endorsing the Judge , and he Is
in the nice and will go through with it to the
end. Thu Judge has many friends in the
western part of the state , and if the conven
tion nominates 1dm ho will make n strong
nice.
I bud no sooner finished reading the mind
of Judge llnmer until George D. Melklejohn
stepped into Tim Bic : headquarters nnd said
that ho wus a candidate for congress imd In
no sense a candidate for any othei
oilico. Air. Moiklejohn says that his
opponents , lorsey ) , Harrison , Kincald
nnd Ilamcr three of them Judges and ono
of them u banker Uorsey , ho had nothing to
fear because of ills being a lawyer. Mr.
Meiklejohn says that the party must bo care
ful of its nomination tomorrow , and remem
ber that tbo success of the party should ul
wo.ys bo paramount to individual prefer
ment.
J. W. Johnson of Sutton , candidate for
secretary of state , comes In today and says
that the majority of the delepatcs from Clay
will bo favorable to hm ! for hccrctury of
stuto. That tlio congressional delegation
was for Nettleton and bo was out of town
when the convention was held. But ho says
thut it was understood that ho was to have
Clay county. This means that if Leeso's
candidate for land commissioner , Dan Not-
tleton. is offered that aWs tight must take
place In the Clay dulegatlon.
H. Bostwlck of Hustings , commonly called
Boss , Is hero In high glee. Ho says that
slnco his victory in Attains county no pro
poses to make the nice for the congressional
nomination. Ilnrlati and Laws will bo his
opponents ! . Colonel E. D. Webster of Stratton -
ton says that ho may go in also , us Hitchcock
county is for him.
The talk now is that Colonel Webster \\lll
bo chosen temporary chairman.
George D. Elnsel of Holdrcdgo Is on the
ground , and tuoro is talk that ho will try to
get the nomination for state treasurer , being
at the head of the bunkers' combine.
At seven o'clock the Capitol hotel was
nnmicd. The mystery remained us deep as
over. Colonel Sniytho of Kearney , tlio origi
nal MacColl man. came down und brought a
brass bntul with him.
Another Johnson county crowd arrived ,
bringing the delegates headed by John
Hoborts ,
Jcsso Gundy , the mayor of Broken Bow , a
Ouster delegate wns proclaiming tonight thai
prohibition nloiio would save the country.
It is useless to stnto that ho mudo little liny.
George Hastings came in from Crcto lute
this evening , and at once adjusted his light
ning rod.
JohuT. Clarkoof Omaha , one of the orig
inal Brontch men , packed his grip and slid
outnt4-U : ) . Ho was looking to see where
and how ho could More Paul Yii'idcrvoort's
Sarpy county proxy. The fact thut ho left
so early scorns to Indicate that ho could find
no iilnet ) for It.
The boom for Ben Baker for chairman does
not seem to huvo much wind in it , und an
early and fatal collapse Is momentarily ex
netted.
TII13 6CiSB : AT NK1IIT.
At this hour , 10 p. in. , there is a laigci
crowd than ever thronging the corridors ant
hallways of the Capitol hotel. The greatei
part of the Omaha delegation has arrived
but tlio grout rush will bo tomorrow , whei
the county delegations comu In.
hi the rotunda of the Capitol hotel tonlgh
the politicians showed great earnestness am
excitement. Jack MacColl leaned over u
cigar case In deep nnd earnest conversation
with ex-Governor Nance.
Lceso stood in consultation with C. G.
Dawes nntl figured on a combine against
erUiiu ones.
Charley McGoon and Ike Lansing stood In
ho shadow of an arch near the dining room
ind Charley was telling Ike that it "might
lavobecn. "
Church Howe , who arrived from Ncinaha
county with his bundle of resolutions , was
elling'ta do7.cn sympathetic grangers like
{ ic.hurd.ion , Tobo Castor and Corbln his
'lows on the stiver question ; while O. W.
lurton , John Peters and Ikq Hnymoml ilxed
a simple slate for some ono lo break.
George Hastings and Mike Doughtcry sat
n the corner of the writing room and llgitrod
on tlio Uctiton-MacColl combine , while
Captain Hill , who had Just returned from
Beatrice , spread the glad tidings that Gage
had gone for him solid to a man.
Dick Norval and Colonel Blllv McCann
; alked of the gloiy of the state militia , while
: ho Midland band of Kearney serenaded Tim
UKK headquarters.
The rooms of the different candidates were
crowded , and altogether there never was so
much excitement preceding a state conven
tion , and yet nothing was done.
Sutherland sent word to Leeso that ho
could not iim for auditor , as he had made
other arrangements.
Tlio nulls tried to get up n scheme to defeat
the Bcnton-MucColl-Hastings combine.
Hobcrt CJricr of ICenrnoy , president of ttto
State Agricultural society , Is proposed for
secretary of state , while ittidtlcld , cx-coimtv
clerk of Dixon county , Is mentioned for audi
tor against Bcnton , andV. . H. Abbey of
Klclmrdson for laud commissioner.
Judge Keeso was asked to go In this slate
lor governor , butho declined , expecting some
thing certain two years from now. The
name presented for governor In tills case
would doubtless bo Richards , unless a black
horse could be found.

Herald , announce that war between Guate
mala niul Snn Salvador was precipitated by
the lliiul refusal of the latter to consent to
the union of the llvo states , long talked

CIIICAOO , July ' . [ Special Telegram to
Tiir.BnE.l The mayor today appointed n
committee of aldermen , ns decided upon last
night , to confer with the world's ' fair direc
tors mid settle upon an ordinance on tbeluko
front question , which can be passed by the
council. Vice President llryan , speaking of
the points which the directors In their con-
fci'cnco with the aldermen would suggest
should bo incorporated lu tlio ordinance , said
"The conference is moro for iloyiuing n
mode of reimbursing the city authorities for
their outlay in filling thelako front. It is
nioro a matter of technical arrangement than
any material change of the ordinance ai pre
sented hist night , the trend of argument nnd
utterance tlioro having been favorable to
making the allowance ; the reverse
of the feeling on that subject evi
denced ou the proceeding "Wednesday.
The mere changing of the phraseology of the
ordinance , as presented last evening , will
constitute the whole subject of discussion nt
tbo conference. There will bo no points , ns
I can see , that can bo considered new. "
A disp.itch from Springlleld says : "There-
Is something which nearly approaches a feel
ing of dejection among tlio friends of the
world's fair today over the dispute
and lack of action of the Chicago coun
cil last night. It was stilted hero
yesterday and confidently expected by mem
bers that the whole matter of Chicago's dis
pute would bo settled by the council imoting
hist night and that the directors nnd Cook
county legislators would appear tomorrow
pr.ictlu.tlly united upon the measures to IRJ
proposed to the special session. But in this
there is disappointment and it ap
pears that the general assembly may
convene tomorrow with the dispute
between tlio Chicago city itinnull
and the world's In'r ' directors HtlU pending
and with no prospects of adjustment. Too
much stress cannot bo put upon tlio dungcr-
ous impressions that uro being created by
this delay in the world's fair matters. Coun
try members are beginning to understand
that there is a serious dispute over the ques
tion of ways mid means , and that
there nro matters after all which must
not botikcn for granted , but which must bo
thoroughly investigated by the general as
sembly itself.
"Thus it Is that every measure proposed by
Chicago will probably bo thoroughly dis
cussed hero , and endless questions asked
before it can ho disposed of. Heretofore , tlio
disposition lias been to accept nil means pro
posed by Chicago , us being the best
for the occasion , and to rush them
through with all possible diligence. But
now , when It is beginning to bo fullv realized
that the citUonsnndolliclals of Chicago are
themselves seriously divided , the general as
sembly will probably proceed very leisurely
and with great circumspection in the consid
eration of the measures proposed. "
Later Tim conference between the com
mittee from tbo city coum-11 and the world's '
fair directors tonight resulted happily in a
complete agreement on nil points , The ordi
nance was amended to the satisfaction of
everybody and will bo presented to the coun
cil Wednesday night. U'tio committee would
