AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Politicians nnd Wire Pullers Anxious nml

They Are NnmerniM nnd AtnroMlvc Hnr-
inuny In the Itcpulillcnn Cnmp How the
Uomocrnta unit Indrpendont Are
( letting Along Xowsy Item * .
The coming xvcolt will bo ono of politics ,
nnd that will completely overshadow every
thing else. Candidates in nit partlos are as
numerous as Missouri paw-paws at Ibis tliuo
of iho yonr , and eautl has n following moro
or less ruspeclnblo In number ) . L'ho curb-

either to bo ruthlessly shoved astda by amore
moro husky ono or to bo successfully worked
out.
out.In
In the republican camp the utmost good
fooling prevails , aud the rivalry between the
candidates is of a friendly nnturo , and the
defeated ones will readily acqulosco in the
decision of the majority. Two candidates
for commissioner from tbo Second district
reMdo hero , and are carrying 'on nil nctlvo
canvass. C. U. Stanley Is ono of the gentle
man , and ho has been in tlio race for many a
month. Stanley was n candldato tor post-
tm.stor at the time the present in
cumbent was namoj , and the bit
ter tight of that time still lingers
fresh lu tno minds of a tow , who openly
avow bo shall never roach the goal of bis
ambition. But if ho captures the nomination
thcso few will fall In line and support him
for election. II. E. Hoclo is the other aspir
ant , and has buon in the Hold loss than two
weeks. Hoglo Is a successful merchant , and
tboyoungar members of the party are bis
most ardent supporters. It was right here
that the Young Man's Republican club cumo
to tbo front with a schumo to prevent any
bad blood from arising , and to go into tha
county convention with a solid delegation for
either Mr. Stanley or Mr. HOKO. ! The club
put up u delegation of fourteen mon who had
not expressed themselves upon their profcr-
once lor commissioner , appointed a commit
ted to watt on the two candidates and secured -
cured their hearty co-operation in the elec
tion of the delegation. At the caucus Friday
night that delegation was elected almost
unanimously. Before tbo county convention
in held the delegation will got together and
agrco upon which of the two gentlemen is
the most available for the nomination und
will support him in tbo county convention.
The only other aspirants In the republican
ranks are for legislative honors. Bruce Mc-
Culloch has been frequently mentioned as a
candidate for state senator , but bo savs no.
His modest declination , however , may co for
naught , as his friends are determined to sea
htm u senator , and may succeed. When tbo
commissioner dispute Is settled it Is probable
that the defeated candldato will bo proffered
the solid support of the delegation for state
senator if ho will accept.
In tbo list of legislative aspirants A. L.
Sutton seems to bo away In tbo lead for rep
resentative , and although there is talk of
others uono have coma forward. Suttou was
formerly a Justice of the peace and was
elected by tbo largest majority ever given a
man for a cltj ofllco in democratic South I I
Omaha. Ho is a young attorney with a good ' .
practice. Captain J. E. Hart of tbo government - I
ment meat innoeotlon department has ulso ! i
been mentioned for rcpiesentatlvc , but ho '
says he la not a candidate , although bis
friends say ho is ia their bands. Nathan
Gordon , who gave democracy the go-by a
your or so ago and became a republican , is a
late candidate. That completes the list of
republican aspirants.
Democracy's Fuotlonnl KlglitH.
The democratic party Is in the midst of
'
several bitter faztio'na1 lights , and the broach
is so broatl it will never bo closoa , or ot
least not this year. There are four distinct
factions in actlvo existence today , and a
bitter contest will take place at the pri
maries Tuesday. Four candidates for the
nomination for commissioner from this dis
trict are carrying on an actlvo nnd aggrpssivo
canvass , and oacb one considers himself n
thrco-timo winner. Ex-Muyor . O. Slouuo
Is not unlike Barlds , nnd ho is being pushed
by Ed Johnston , Eli Doud nnd a majority of
too Jeffersoiilan club. J. H. Bulla , who Is
now a member of tbo city council ana Board
of Education and wants evcy office in sight ,
is in the light and would like to relieve
Major Paddock. Ho is also a member of tbo
Jeffersonian club and finds his supporters
in C. M. Hunt , Peter Cockrell nnd u fuw
moro of the faithful.
Jack Walters has bad a taste of public
oftlco by serving two years In tbo council
and bo finds It very pnlntnblc. Jnclc is n
member of tbo Jacksonmn club of Omaha ,
and ho will bavo a good following in both
cities. Jumos Bronnan , who does not live In
South Omaha , has lib friends and the sup
port of nn evening paper bore. Ho may cap
ture the delegation and leave the South
Omaha candidates in tbo rear.
The logishitlvV } honors may go a-bogglng ,
although that is an unheard of thing in tun
democratic rams. Tbero are co avowed
candidates for the nomination. E. T. Farns-
wortb , wbo was formerlv Joe Edgorton's
Iniv partner , is mentioned by a low in con
nection with the house. Ho is the only ono
whoso name has occii coupled with the for
lorn bop ? .
An evening paper Is making a frantic ef
fort to secure the congressional nomination
for Jacob Juskalok. Jucno resides in Omalm ,
and Is the proprietor of a cigar factory in
this city. Ho wouldn't malto any aspccml of-
tort to got out of the way of political I lull t-
ninir should itstrlko bis way , and continues
to roll cigars apparently unmindful of tbo
grentnnss some people nro socking to thrust
upon him. Ho may have the support of tbo
South Omaha dalega'lon.
In tlio Cnmp of tlio I'lijinlUts.
Tno people's party camp presents the most
picturesque spectacle of nil. It Is n hobby
with the udberonts : of wildcat schemes that
no man shall seek an olllcc , but that tbo ofllco
shall coma around and offer itself to tbo
patriot. Jt is really surprising to see the
number of individuals who are chasing
around and doing their utmost to got In the
way of o particular oftlco , hoping it will pro
pose in order to be rid of thorn. Tlioro are
not to exceed tlnrty-tlireo peoplo's parly
men in the city , unu every ono of them is
oithor. holding a position or making u her
culean cffurt to land n political llsh.
The South Omaha peoplo's party followers
are not ut all modest , and if it wasn't for
the scarcity of them would bavo a candidate
for cacti tolllco in Douglas county. Ifiitthoy
will bo satisfied if Samuel P. Bngham is
nominated for congress. Mr. Brigbnm
started in Ufa a grconbackor , mis kept step
ever slnco with those of that failb , nnd
would rather talk today of tbo doctrines of
the peoples' party than sit down to a feast
lit for a king.
When It comes to state senator Undo Sam
Hynunrson is riakt at homo , and ho is not
only in the hands of his friends , but , his own
hands are working hundreds of wires iargo
and strong enough for u hangman's rope.
For thu house of representatives Goorgn
\V. Kaworth und C. O. Curtis , two typical
Indonondcnts , are in the mad scramble and
would like very much to test thcucountlcs in
the stHto house at Lincoln ,
E. H. Roberts is Interested In the county

There are but two cltv ofllcoE to be Qllocl

appointed chief of pollco ho resigned us con-
atabloand A. A. Donnelly was appointed.

Ono of our servants told U8 Itna Mr.
.luhiiBon'fl nroolntnntlon of u rownrd for
Mr. Olivia' capture us the nccesaory to
Mr. Lincoln's nmnttttlnntlon. I wns innch
Shocked , but Mr. Davis wns qulto tin-
concerned , nnd said : "Tho mlflornblo
ficoutidrul who Issued tluit proolnmiitlon
know bolter tlmn thoao mon that it win
fnlpo. Of course Bitch nn iiccuBiitioii
must fnll at oneo : It inuy , however , render -
dor thcso people willing to assasslnato
ino horo. "
There wns a porcoptlblochnngo in the
manner of the soldiers from this time ,
and the jibes nnd insults heaped upon us
as they pusscd by , notwithstanding Col
onel P'rltclmrd'a oITorts to suppress the
expression of their detestation , worn
hard to bear. IJittorcat union thcsu
was an ollluor named Hudson. Ho in
formed mo that ho intended to take our
poor lltllo protejio as his own , and sollo-
iludo for the child troubled us moro tVixu
Ilndson's instills.
Within a short tllstiuico of Macoiu xvo
were hailed and the soldiers drawn up
In line on either side of the ro.ul. Our
children crept close to tholr father ,
especially little Mni 'io , wlio put hur
arms about him ami hold Him tlphtly ,
while from llmo to time ho comforted
her with tender words from the Psalms
of David , which ho repeated as ohuor-
fully as if ho wore surrounded by friends.
It is needless to say that as the uum
stood nl their oaao they expressed in
words unfit for women's oars all that
mnllco could suppcst. In about an hour
Colonel Prltchard returned , and with
him caino a brigade who testified tholr
belief in Mr. Davis' guilt in Iho same
manner.
Mon may bo forgiven who , actuated
by prejudice , exhibit bitterness in iho
first hours of their triumph , but what ex-
CIIBO can bo olTorod for one who. In cold
blood , doliboratoiv orpriinix.es tortures
to bo inflicted , and superintends for over
n , year their application to Iho quiver-
hip form of an emaciated , exhausted ,
helpless prisoner who , the whole south
proudly remembers , though reduced to
death's door , unto the end neither re
canted his fnlth , fawned upon his per.
socutor , nor pleaded for mercyV

Why is Pears' Soap the
best in the world , the soap Nc _
with no free alkali in it
sold for 15 cents a cake ?
It was made for a hospital
soap in the first place , made
by request ; the doctors
wanted a soap that would
wash as sharp as any and
do no harm to the skin.
That means a soap all
soap , with no free alkali in
it , nothing but soap ; there
is nothing mysterious in it.
Cost depends on quantity ;
quantity conies of quality.
All sorts of stores sell
it , especially druggists ; all
sorts of people use it , espe
cially those that know what's
what.
