AND THEY ARE BOUND BY THE UNIT RULE
Unrmniilou * Hellion of ttio County Democ

Accarrt with tlio Clilcnga Structure
Uclngntot to Cnucui Tomorrow.
The Douglan county democrats had a con
vention nl Washington hall yesterday afternoon -
noon to select the county's dclsgatlon to the
state convc'ntlon , which meets In Omaha next
Wcdnenday. Tl.o Bryan-Ilolcomb sentiment
was overwhelmingly In the majority.
The ninety-two delegates Kclectcd arc nil
of the Hryan faith and tliey are all solidly
united for Holcomb. * The platform endorses
Cleveland , censures tlio democratic senators
who opposed the \VIUon bill , demands free
and unlimited coinage of silver at n ratio
of 1C to 1 , nnd endorses Hrynn tor the United
States sonata and Doyd for congress.
Chairman S. II. Hush of the county central
committee called the convention to order at
2 15 o'clock. On motion of C , J , Smythc , 11.
C. Miller ot the Eighth ward wan made tem
porary chairman , no candidate being pitted
ngaliist him.
Air. Miller accepted ( he office and the np-
plnute accompanying It with a graceful ac
knowledgment ot thanks. Ho alluded to
li.xl Wednesday's state convention ns sure
to bo more Important thnn any the democ
racy has ever held , Ila asked for harmony
and careful work , and predicted that the
republican ticket would be beaten and the
rotten rings at Lincoln cleaned out , He
bogged the delegates to stand up for good
Elate government , good democracy , James E.
Lloyd , \V. J , llryiin and the grand old demo
cratic party.
Lee Hcrdman was made temporary secre
tary without opposition , and L. J. I'lattl was
elevated to the assistant secretaryship.
rnOCEBUED TO BUSINESS.
The list of delegates from the city of
On aha , South Omaha and the country pre-
clncLj was read and accepted , and on mo
tion of I. J. Dunn no proxies were cd-
mlttcd. Then , on motion of George T'erncy ' ,
tlio temporary organization was made per
manent.
On motion of Charles Drawn a commlltee
of five was appointed to draft resolutions.
C. J. Sinylho moved that a committee of
five be appointed to report to the conven
tion ninety-two names as delegates to the
state convention , tlionrds In Omaha and
South Omaha and the country precincts to
be given representation according to their
stieugth In the county convention.
A cloud ot trouble about the sl/e cf a
man's hand arose right here. A. I' . Spltko
of the Second ward voiced the murmurs
by offering an amendment to the c-ff'ct that
each ward and precinct select Its own dele
gates.
After some slight confusion SpltUo with
drew his amendment and Smythe's motion
was carried with a whoop , In which Dan Ho-
nln's voice led all the rest.
The chairman read off the two committees
as follows :
On Resolutions C. H. Drown , L. J. PI-
nltl. Patrick Ford , J. D. Nichols , Joel Wrst ,
On Delegates C. J. Sniytbo , Dan Hmiln ,
Den Adams , Alma Jackson AMI J , A. Connor.
A recess ot ten minutes was then cuiered
to permit the committees to do Uilr w < rk.
It took the committee on delegates con
siderably more than ten minutes to agree
upon tli a state delegation. It was n repeti
tion of the same old , old story. Livery dem
ocrat wanted to be a delegate , and tlio coin-
mltteo had no little difficulty In satisfying
the demands ot the rival clalm-ints. Fi
nally , after the expiration of moro than an
hour , the committee reappeared , and the
convention was again rtady for business.
When the convention cameto order after
r c-cts C. H , Drown , from the committee on
resolutions , made the report. First he read
the following resolution :
lieaolved , That the delegates selected and
nccredlteil by this convention to the demo
cratic Btatp convention to be held pursuant
to the call of the democratic state com
mittee on the EGtli iluy of September , 1531 ,
at Omaha , be nnd they are hereby In
structed and rciiulrcd to vole upon all
matters and. questions which Bhnll come
before said state convention as a unit , a
majority of the delegates In attendance
to determine how thu Bald vote shall be
cnat. The delegates present In said con
vention nro authorized and required to
east the voles of all absent delegates in
the manner as above provided. In order
thai the democracy of Douglas county
shall be fully represented ; and this con
vention expressly withholds from Its said
state delegates the power of authorizing
any one to act for them ns their proxy to
and In said convention.
PLATFORM AND DELEGATES.
The resolution was greeted with enthusi
astic cheers and was adopted with yells ol
approval , The platform as presented by the
committee was as follows :

After announcing that the caucus ot th
delegates to the state convention would t
Iietil at the Hoard bf Trade rooms tomorro
evening the convention adjourned.
Cuuiea Commotion.
John Qulnn , a populist , had a grei
'deal to do In determining the action of tl
.Third word republican meeting Frldi
Bight , called for the purpose of nomlnatlr
a caucus ticket. Mr * Hubbard , the color *
politician , was In the chair , and Mr. Quln
Hiked leave to address the meeting , wlilc
jva grunttd. Mr , Qulnn then went rlgl
to the point , Bayinghe had come for tt
express purpose of denouncing the chal
inan , He laid that he had overheard Hul
bard say to five democrats that day In n
( erring to the democratic primaries ; '
Jiavc done what I tald I woultl for you. A
you nll tlcd1" Then Mr. Qulnn denounced
Hubbaril as a man who hail boasted for
years that he carried the colored vote of the
ward In his pocket , and who had bargained
anil traded on It All that time. Mr. Qulnn
asked : "In that the kind ol man you wish
to follow ? "
Mr. Hubbard denied all the charges , but
the upshot ot It all wna that the meeting
adjourned without naming a ticket.
Yesterday the following ticket In the Third
ward was made up by petition ; Nate Drown ,
Lewis Durmelstcr , Scth T. Cole. Frank
lleacock , J. LuurlK , Lee Levy. Martin Olson ,
C. Sprlggs , Sol Prince.

Ilruncr llrnrn Unplc.iiutnt Tilings About Ills
DrMro to IIoMnt .Senator.
Among the many men -who are candidates
for office this fall there Is not one who be
lieves moro thoroughly In th& theory that
hey should bo made whlla the sun shines
than docs Charley Druner , who has an ItchIng -
Ing desire to represent the county of Douglas
In the state senate.
Friday The Dec printed a list ot men
who were Willing to sacrifice themselves to the
political cause and Druncr's name appeared.
Many who read the Hit thought that the
candidacy of Jiruiicr was a huge joke. Mr.
Ilruncr did not labor under any hallucination
that Is was a joke and at once ho com
menced to assure people who would listen
to hla talk that he was a sure enough
candidate and that he was well along on
the quarter stretch. Ho told them that his
experience In the city council had fitted lilra
for the position of a state lawmaker and
that ho was Just as smart as they made.
Some of his friends tried to discourage
Him , telling him that his record as a council
man was enough to kill him off , even If
there was no oil cr consideration for Ktaylng
at home. To all ot this kind of talk Mr.
Druner listened and then declared that It
was treachery of the meanest kind. There
were somn people with whom Charley talked
who considered his candidacy a farce and
these persons urged him to pull all ot the
firings which he could gather In his grasp ,
limner took this as good advice and all
that night he devoted to the work of prepar
ing a list of the delegates * ho were selected
it the republic in caucuses Filday evening.
Bright and early yesterday , armed with
this list , ho started out Into the political
Held to do his hay making. Ho saw a num
ber of the delegates , and upon each occa
sion he was pledged their support , laughing
In their sleeves as he departed , going out to
seek new worlds to conquer. About noon
swollen up to fully double his normal slza
by his o\\n Importance , Mr. Ilruner floated
Into the office of John Grant , a delegate
from the Seventh ward.
JOHN , GRANT KNEW HIM.-
Grant knows Druner as well as any man
on earth , having watched his course In tne
council when corporation matters have been
up for consideration , and as ho has stated
both publicly and privately that Charley
has been with the asphalt , tlie garbage , the
gas , the electric light and numerous other
corporations which have been working their
pull on the c'ty , the air In Grant's room was
rather chilly for Bruner. Druner , how
ever , Is a nun who Is not easily snubbed ,
and without being Invited to a scat ho walked
over to Grant's desk and stuck out a hand ,
remarking ( hat It was a mighty fine morn
ing. Grant did not notice the hand , but
In a businesslike tone of voice he repl'ed
"This morning Is like all of the September
mornings In this latitude. The facts are
that I think that we have the finest fall
weather of any place In the world. "
For a moment Druner w s taken back
but rallying to the Issue ho said : "You
know that 1 am a candidate for the letr fi
lature. "
Grant did not pay any attention to the
declaration , but Instead he quietly Inter
posed , "These fall rains are going to be Just
the thing for the winter wheat. "
"D n the winter wheat , " responded Dtuner ,
"I am a candidate for "
"Yes , " responded Grant. "I have often said
A n wheat , but It was when I have been on
the wrong side of the market. As I was say
ing before , If we get a good crop next year
we will "
"I am not here to talk about wheat , " ex
claimed Druner , as he commenced to give
Ills arms the motion ot a wind mill operating
In a Dakota cyclone. "As I said before , I
am a candidate for the- senate , and I am out
feeling ot the delegates who "were named at
the caucuses held by the republicans yester
day. You were elected from the Seventh
ward and I want to know how you stand
with reference to me. "
"So , " responded Grant without looking up
from a paper which he was reading.
The Inattention hurt the feelings of Mr.
Druner and getting red In the face he- struck
the Issue fairly and squarely on the head by
asking this question , "Will you support me In
the convention ? "
HE TOLD DRUNEU SO.
Dropping the ; paper Grant turned' around
and facing the councilman , without mincing
matters , ho repllcdt "Not It the court knows
Itself , and I think It does. In the first place
my opinion Is that It requires a
supreme amount of gall for you to
come .hero and ask me such a ques
tion. You know that I am not a delegate to
the convention , being simply a nominee of
the caucus which recommended mo as a
delegate. I want you to understand that I
am not pledged to any person on earth , my
desire being to secure men who will best
represent the Interests of Omaha , Douglas
county and the state of Nebraska. If I am
elected to the convention , then there will be
time enough for mo to say what I will do ,
but In the meantime I want you to under
stand that there are no strings tied to me ,
If elected , I will assure you. , of one thing ,
however , and that Is that I will not support
you for a place on the legislative ticket. You
know well enough that during the time that
you have been a member of the-elty council
I have watched your course and you know
that I have always seen you consorting with
.tho corporations , boodlers and persons who
were plotting to filch tha cash from the city
treasury. "
This was all that Druner could stand , nnd
turning white , red and blue by turns he
stamped , jumped , beat the air with Ms
hands and cursed , denouncing Grant and de
claring that ho would beat him at the pri
maries. Men out In the corridors were at
tracted by the noise which Bruner was
making and as It was being suggested thai
the patrol wagon be called he sneaked oul
, and rushed down the street In n search foi
other delegates to Interview ,
It was learned later In the day that Dru
ner had Interviewed nearly all of the Flftl
ward delegates and that his receptions wen
similar to the one In John Grant's office.

FRANKFORT. Ky. . Sept. 22. Tha demo-
cratlc commlttea for the Seventh congres
sional district of Kentucky -was called to
order by Chairman Field McLeod at 12:30 : ,
with all the members present , and after
canvassing the vote by counties , n resolu
tion was unanimously adopted declaring
Onens the nominee by n plurality ol 2G5
votes and the committee adjourned.
Hon. W. C. Owens was here with a big
delegation of friends and Colonel Ilrcckln-
rldgo'H Interests were looked attcr by tils
taw partner , Colonel John T. Shelby , and a
largo delegation of prominent men. Among
the prominent men In the city arc : Hon. E.
M. Dlchson , John T. Hlnton and Charles E.
Butter of Paris ; Editor Baxter of the L'xlng-
lon Transcript ; Hon. James Traske , George
town , and Editor Orr of the Owen News.
A protest against McLeod voting , and a de
cision af Chairman Carroll of the state com
mittee deciding- that StcLcod could vote only
In case ot a tie , .was filed In behalf of I ! reck-
Inrldge. Tlie following communication from
Colonel Brecklnrldge was received , read and
ordered filed :
To the democratic convention of the Sev
enth district : Under the statutes of Ken
tucky and the order of this committee , you
are duly authorized and constituted to gov
erning authority to count the votes re
ceived by teh candidates In the primary
election of September 15 , and to declare the
candidate receiving the highest number of
votes the nominee of the democratic party In
this district , and you alone have the power
to determine upon the forms and manner of
the proceedings you will take to die
charge this duty. In case ot a. contest
you and you alone have the power to hear
and determine such contest nnd decide who
shall bu cuttied to the nomination , and you
owe. to the democratic party of this district
end your sense of right that the duties Im
pose ! upon you shall not be performed , by
any cne else , nor that hey shall be en
croached uponj You and you alone have
the power to prescribe what political quali
fications shall bo possessed by such legal
voters as reside within the district and de-
slro to participate In that primary , and you
and you alone have the right to determine
whether the rules laid down by you and In
which were necessarily lncorporat d the pro
visions ot the statutes have been compiled with
SIMPLY PROTECTING HIMSELF.
I deem It a duty I owe to the democratic
party of the district , to my friends and to
myself to state this principle and proUst
against any action of any judge , county
ccmmlttee , of any cfiunty or private In
dividual which encroaches or attempts to
encroach upon your exclusive jurisdiction , to
that whatever has been done In the primary
may not be luU to ba precedent to be used
hereafter for the want of on open and formal
protest against It. I formally protest
against the action of the judge of the Four-
4ernth judicial district In the Issue of the
extraordinary order In the casa of W. E.
Sims. This committee met on September 8
and adopted certain rules ; the plaintiffs
waited until the afternoon of Friday , the llth ,
having had ample time to tnke such steps as
they deemed necessary and gave proper notice
to me or to the nominal defendants , so that
a hearing might have been had. This delay
was known to that judge and was ot Itself
cause for refusal to Issue any restraining
order. But I , as well as the nominal defend-
ontsr lived near enough for notice to have
been given of the application for the restrain
ing order so that the judge might pass upon
It after a hearing and with the .opportunity
afforded to present reasons against It , anJ
the Issue of the so-called temporary
Injunction , which , under the cir
cumstances was equivalent to a final and per
manent erne , and the setting of the hearing
of any application for Its dissolution or modl-
flcat'on for a date six days after the clcctln ,
when it would already have accom
plished Its purpose. Is such en extra
ordinary abuse of the discretion lodged In
a Judicial officer , even If that officer had
jurisdiction and th ? crder were one which
on hearing might probably have been Issued ,
that It ought not to pass without attracting
universal attention and receiving unanimous
condemnation , and when , it 'Is ' remembered
that this Judge had been for many years my
bitter personal enemy , permitting and par
ticipating In malignant atacks upon me In
many parts of the country , and was also my
heated political enemy , his action becomes
the moro extraordinary.
This act In and of itself would Justify me
In making a contest and justify this com
mittee In r'fuslng to declare the baneflclary
ot such conduct the nominee of the party.
I also deem It my duty to solemnly avow
that I have not the shadow of a doubt that
I received as against William C. Owens of
Scott county , a majority of the legal demo
cratic votes of this district , and thai I am
legally entlttled to be declared the nominee
of the democratic party In this district.
The Inexplicable Increase In the vote cast
nt this primary over the vote cast In 1892
would be sufllcient re-ason to require of this
committee an Investigation.
HIS RECORD AS A RUNNER.
"I append to this a comparative table of
the votes cast for Mr. Cleveland and myself
In 1892 and for governor In 1891 In the
eight counties constituting this district , and
the vote cast nt the recent primaries , show
ing an apparent Increase ot over 2,500 votes.
And this Increase Is mainly In the counties
of Faycttc , Franklin and Scott. The In
crease In the county of Franklin , which la
nearly 33 per cent , accounts for the plurality
recelvoJ by my competitor In Mmt county ,
as does the Increase In the county of Scott
account for the majority received In that
county , and the almost but not finite so
miraculous Increase In the county ot Wood-
ford explains the majority received there.
But under all the circumstances I do not
feel called upon to make u formal conical or
to oppose the declaration of nomination upon
the face of the returns. I accept the result
of this elect Ion rather tlmn enter upon a
contest which In my Judgment would resull
In the election of a republican In this dis
trict. I hs/e not the slightest doubt that c
contest would result In a declaration of my
nomination. But this Is not enough to jus
tify me In entering upon such a contest. 1
° would not feel , however , that I bad performed -
formed the duty I owe my friends every
where , but especially In Scott county. If 1
did not enter my protest against the actlor
" of the committee of Scott county In this
primary :
" (1) ( ) In the apportionment and appolntmeni
ot judges of election , wh'ch was only rectlflee
after I had appealed to the committee. (2 ( ;
Against Its refusal to forwtrd the proof !
up.-n which It acted to this comm'ltee. (3 (
Agalnat Its wholly Inexcusable refusal ti
permit mo to obtain a copy of the names o
the voters In Georgetown at the lati
primary so that I might maketuch Invest !
Kitten aa I desired and as was my right.
"I charge upon the committee the- del be ?
ate purpoto to defraud me out of the noml
ratten , arc ] I new pit upon record In thi ;
\\sy three r-rocfs that the charge and tin
proot may remain a part of the permancn
record cf the politicI history of this dis
trlct.
"No man can estimate the Importance o
each democratic vote In the next house o
representatives. I have Riven many year
of labor to the cause of democracy am
cspeclclly to the revision of the tariff ,
am not willing to endanger the suprcmac ;
ot the democratic party In the next house
even though I am the victim of fraud perpe
t rated In this district. I believe that wren ,
can bo at length righted within ( he part :
without the rupture ol the party. I there

nounce my submission to your action and m ;
purpose to support the nominee In whos
favor yon will make that declaration. Vcr ;
respectfully
"W. C. P. imECKINRIDGD. "
TWO SETS OF RESOLUTIONS.
The committee then proceeded to have rea
the certified voteof each county , us show
by each chairman , Major Johnson ft Tayett
then presented Iho following rciolutlcn ,
which was unantmousW adopted-
"Whereas , The romtnJJ.ttfimdld , at Its last
meeting , provide that a man should bo a legal
voter , n democrat nndj Jnt'iidlng In good
faith to support the nominee of fie party
to be permitted to participate In the demo-
crallo primary ; ami " ) f
Whereas , Several detflJctnU Invoked the

laudable and tlme-hofiorpXl prlnclpln , tus-
pended In each county -at the district and
relaxed In others to the-t\'tnt that the elec
tion was not held under "the late t regula
tions ; therefore i.,1 ,
Resolved , That W. C. Owens , on the face
of the returns , Is showiutp , have u majority
of the votes , we declare him the drrnocrctla
nominee for congress InJ tj\ls district and urge
all good democrats to Elv $ him their hearty
support. 11.
Hon. W. C. Owens lonJilearnlng tint the
committee had passed without a dissenting
\ote tile resolution declaring him the nominee
and handicapping him by a preamble censur
ing Judge Cantrlll and announcing that his
nomination was the result of fraud and the
judge's abuse of power , expressed his In
dignation anil refused to accept the nomina
tion under such terms. His friends had the
committee called together , when Ur. Bishop
moved that the resolution bo reconsidered.
This carried by a vote ot six to three , the
nays being Johnson of Fayette , Vincent of
Oldham and Galncs ot Franklin. The fol
lowing substitute was then offered by Ur.
Bishop :
"RcsoUed , That Hon. W. C. Owens , hav
ing received a plurality of 25 ! > votes of the
tctal number of votes cast nt the primary
election held on September 1C , 1SD1 , be and
he Is hereby declared to bo the democratic
candidate for congress In ihla , the Seventh
district , and wo urgs all democrats to glvo
him a hearty support , all of which shall be
certified by the olncers as required by law. "
This WHS adopted.
Another resolution was passed criticising
Judge Cantrlll by n vote of lour to 0.
J-'or VHII Diixi-n nnd Sutton.
It was -about midnight before all th votes
were counted at the republican caucus
In South Omaha Friday night. Two
factions developed , but one was so far
In the majority that the result was
almost unanimous for the Van Duscn and
Sutton delegation. Mr. 18. C. Lane Is practi
cally nt the head of the opposition faction
and It Is possible that his followers will file
a petition for a sicond ticket. The caucus se
lected dele-gates for the entire city , as fol
lows :

ELKHORN. N'cb. , Sept. 22.-Speclal ( Tele
gram. ) Congressman David Mercer flrcd
the first gun ot his campaign outside of
Omaha * t thl place tonight In the presence
ot the largest political gathering that has
ever assembled In this city. Mr. Mercer
spoke for two hours. The speaker ad
dressed the masses here two years ago , and
In a masterly and forcible manner cited his
auditors to the manifold changes that have
since occurred In the political arenas , both
national and state. He captured his audi
tors when he announced In favor of any
legislation that will protect American labor
ers and wage earners and against any legis
lation that will permit foreign labor manu
factures to find lodgment In this country.
He likened the record at the last congress
to a blank book , and told about making the
acquaintance of n man who discovered a
new beverage called tariff. Ho had the re
ceipt for Its manufacture and put his audi
ence onto It. It Is made from sugar and
whisky. He poured hot shot Into the
Sugar trust and predicted that republican
congressmen would bu sent to congress next
term from Louisiana.
He touched n responsive chord In the
breasts of his old soldier friends by declar
ing that he was the avowed champion of
the old guard , first , last nnd all the time.
He thought that the white , black or yel
low republicans , democrats and napullets
who fought for the flag were entitled to pay
for their services. Ho urged his mls-
guldcd democratic and populist brethren to
repent.
"This day , this hour , Is the accepted
time for you to repent before It Is ever
lastingly too late , " e/.cblmcd the speaker ,
and he Invited all who desired so to do to
come forward to the mourners' bench ,
Continuing , Mr. Mercer announced that he
was In favor of money that Is good the
world over , be It gold , silver or paper.
Judging ( rein the demonstration made , he
expressed the sentiment of the majority ot
his hearers. He then called attention to
the result ot recent elections In various
states , that have fallen Into line with
greatly Increased republican majorities , and
In substantiation ot his statement that the
wives and mothers play a prominent part
In politics , he referred to the recent elec
tion In Kentucky , wherein Drecklnrldge met
his defeat.
What ho termed the popgun bills and the
sugarcontcd bills received duo attention at
his hands , and his position was made clear
by some very apt llustratlons. In closing
ho stood up for Nebraska by declaring that
ho thought her tlio best state under the sun ,
and vouchsafed the prediction that If nature
will only Binllc upon this secMon the time
Is not far distant when Nebraska will bs
first In the rank of corn projuclng states.
Concluding , he tukol hli aulltora to think
twice before turning the country over to a
party that has been tried and found wanting ,
Following Mr. Mercer , Judge Tlpton of
Omaha told the audience- why he was a re
publican " and Identified with the republican
party. "Short addresses were also made by
State Senator Noyos , Hon. W. O. Whltmore ,
R. L. Livingston * and others.
Mr. Mercer was accompanied by his wife ,
and after the meeting they got acquainted
with the assemblage , a large portion of
which was made up of ladles. Dave omitted
the baby kissing part of his former program.
The Elkhorn and Millard bands furnished
music for the occasion.

FALLS CITY , Neb. , Sept. 22. ( Special Tel
egram. ) One of the most successful republi
can rallies ever held In Falls City was held
hero tonight. It was the first rally of the
fall campaign and was largely attended by
republicans from all parts of the county. At
7 o'clock the people began assembling In
Gehllng's new opera house. The Falls City
military and Salem military bands furnished
music before the speakers arrived. At 8
o'clock thire were fully COO people with a
mixture of ladles In the audience. George
W. Homantl made the opening talk und
named Hon. Frank Martin as on old rock-
ribbed democrat , but now an enthusiastic re
publican , for chairman of the meeting , and
he was unanimously chosen. Judge Martin
made a short address and ended by Introduc
ing Judge Strode. Defore Judge Strode began
his address Prof. Howard of Lincoln sang two
rousing campaign songs and the audience
Joined In the chorus. t
In Strode's address , which lasted an hour ,
he eald he believed the whole republican
statetlckst would be elected with a whoop
and his reference to McKlnley and Reed as
presidential candidates In 189S was rrcejved
with shouts ot applause. He gave a com
plete history of the tariff from 1789 to th :
present time. Among other things , he oald :
"I am not hero to criticise the democratic
party , for It can and has criticised Itscll
more severely than I can. Thers Is not an
objictlon , not an Invective , not a mean word
In the English language they have not hurled
at each others' heads In the past four months ,
They have abusd themselves far more than
the most silver-tongued orator In their ra
tion could da. " In conclusion , he tsald he
believed the democrats would endorse the
populist state ticket. He believed In bimetal
lism and that gold and silver should be
equal. He closed amid great enthusiasm ,
after which songs by Prof. Howard und music
by the two bands entertained the larg (
crowd. _

OM-VHA - , Sept. 22. To the Editor ot Tin
Dee : Politics Is sometimes produc
tive , of the most barefaced lalse-
hooils nnd misrepresentations. Tor In
stance , lit the democratic primaries
Thursday there- were two factions , one ot
which bccvune badly demoralised and dis
comfited. Some of the defeated ones pro
claimed tt once that undue Catholic Innuenca
was wielded , ami this Idea has been Indus
triously circulated.
Why raise falsa alarms ? Everybody-
knows that the administration democrat )
wrro defctr > d , not because of the silver
question , nor uf Mr. Dryan's popularity , but
because ot a dcsl/c to beat Tom Majors anil
to elect Judge Holcomb. Of coulso It can
not be disputed that : the nomination ot n
democrat for governor would aid the spotted
candidate. Catholics took nn active part In
the democratic pr.marles. Why should they
not ? It Is the duty of all good citizens to
attend the primaries of their rcspcctlva
parties , Hut If the Catholics were not
about ns evenly divided In the late contest
as they have c\cr been , the writer does not
know whit ho Is talking about. Among
thosa who cither worked for the antl-Dryan
ticket , or who nre pronounced administra
tion democrats , taken at random trcin mem
ory , nre J. A. McSlmne , Frank Murphy , W.
A. L. Gibbon , Phil Smith , William Russell.

Ed 1' . Mullen. These men are all recog
nized as representatives of their class. Can
any one truthfully say tint Roman Catholics
yctcd only on one s dc , or that there was
offensive Catholic Influence ) exercised ? In
order to strengthen the falsehood , another
had to bo told. It was rumored that Catho
lic priests stood all day tt the polls , and.
Intimidated voters. A Majors man stattsl
yesterday that In hla ward ( the Fourth ) two
Catholic priests peddled lirj.in tickets all
day. Now , I will tsk why should they ?
What great Inducement prompted them ? I
will not cay that Die man who uttered tha
above Matcmcnt told a deliberate He , but I
will tay this : That during the thirty odtl
years 1 hive been a voter In Omaha , I never
raw a Catholic priest at the polls In my life.
Moreover , I was In the neighborhood ot the
Fourth ward primary all day , nnd there was
no priest there , except one who lltttcd to
and fro on a mission of mercy , nnd'a ' \ \
paid not the least attention to politics.
