the people seem to like it. It was put on
again lust night and was filled in with spa-

LINCOLN , Aug. 1.-No one can tell who
will head the tripartite ticket to b neat-
hinted by the tripartite conventions tomor-
row. No one can even toil with any degree
of certainty who will lead on the brat hal-
lot , This is because there Is such a long
entry list for governor and there is no die-
ptlto about renominating the other state of-
Ilcers , with the exception of lieutenant got'-
ernor. All trading propositions are , there.
fore , frustrated in advance and the . 'an-
; vnss becomes a wire-pulling contest , lit
which persuasion , promises and outuide inflUence -
flUence are the potent agencies.
The democrats concede the govornorsiilp
to the lOPUhistS , but they want to name the
populist. It is doubtful if this will no tel-
orated , as the populists seem determined to
fight It out among themselves in their own
convention If it takes a week , and the pros-
ant outlook is that the ballots wiil bo nIl-
merous before a candidate for governor is
agreed on , It will surprise no one it the
conventions develop into an all-night cir-
ctiB similar to that of a year ago. There is
some talk of springing the name of Bryan
in case of an Inextricable deadlock aw.ong
the populist candidates , hut l is discounted
except as a last resort.
The silver republicans decided to insist
on the lieutenant governorship. While they
have not mentioned candidates , four are aI-
ready in the field In Loheck of Douglas ,
Gilbert of York , Fultou of I'awuee and Cur-
rio of Thureton.
The democrats have agreed on J. C.
Stephens of Adams for temporary chairman.
The temporary officers of the populist can-
vcntion will be chosen by the delegates
when assembled. Several names are mentioned -
tioned , among them Elmer Thomas of
Douglas county ,
Senator Allen caine in on an evening
train. Ho was Immediately beseiged by
Jim Dahlman and other democrats who
wanted to help carry out the democratic
program. The senator says he has no choice
for governor and will not mix in the fight.
He also says he does not want the canyon-
Lion to nominate him for senator or have
his name put on the ticket , as was Bryan's
tour years ago. A resolution of endorsement
wiih satisfy him. The whole state house bri-
gadc of ole-biters front Hoicomb and Ed-
misten down to Janitor Rotvden , is very
muchi In evldenc.
Sthrk Stts No.
Among the democrats there has been
a pronounced attempt to force Can-
greasman Stark to the front , die
real reason behind being the desire of the
democrats to have one of their faith fill his
congressional shoes. At , meeting Of the
Fourth distriot delegates tonight , however ,
a letter was rearS from Stark stating that
his ambition war. exclusively wrapped up In
congress , and as a result his district will
try to unite on some oao cIsc. The meet-
lug was ostensibly in the interest of Gamn ,
who is certainly stronger than ho has beca
credited. GalBn is still under the weather ,
being located at a local sanitarium , where
his politIcal agents report to him.
The three Douglas county candidates ,
Denver , Yelser and Peabody , for governor.
are simply holding their own and making
no headway. It is pItiful to see Dr , Pen-
body stalking around the hotel corridors as
if lost. Other populist candida1es who have
opened headquarters are ox-Mayor Weir of
Lincoln W. A. Poynter , Judge Nevihle , Judge
John It. Thompson , Judge Beall and Oil Inspector -
specter Edmisten.
It is said that General Barry , Fred New-
berry and Lieutenant Governor harris will
receive complimentary votes.
At the meeting of the populist state corn-
inittee nothing was done except to appoint
an auditing committee , consisting of Senator
Slrcchier of Colfax , Davis of Pawnee and
Mullen of Ilolt , with instructions to report
at 9 o'clock In the morning.
Free I'n.ts Drlgale ,
The adunco guard of the Douglas county
delegation came down on the evening train ,
with Lee Herdman , Charlie Fanning , Frank
Ransom , Walter Moise and ld howell , as
leaders of the gang , To cement the corn-
pact and advertise the amalgamation of the
Irish and the anti-Irish factions , Lee fiord-
man and J. J. O'connor rode in one seat
with their anna about 0110 another. It is
a free pass brigade , notwithstanding the
law enacted by the popocratle legislature
imposing fleflalties on railroads giving

E. F. Moriarity called attention to the fact
that his was a paid ticket , but they vero

General Smyth as the conductor reached
Itloriarity , after writing down the nuniher of
Leo Ilerdrnaii's annual In a list that filled

The Douglas delegations. both populist nutS

thenu from outside counties. The oxnct division -
vision will not ho known until the vote is

As is usual , much interest is turned toward -
ward the delegations from Douglas county.
iierdman and hIs allies. who have been very
ironulnent in the hotel lobbies and oil rooms
hero for the last week , say they have
absolute control of the democratic dolega-
halt from Douglas county , with full power
to trade and deliver it when an advantageous
occasion presents itself. Heribnan also as.
aerta that a majority of the populist
delegates are for Peabody , 1112(1 that the
others will fail into line when they fInd
themselves haplessly in the minority , I ) ,
Cheat Deaver has spent a few days hero , and
has a different story to tell , lie says that
forty-six of the Omaha delegates are Deaver
( lien first , Inst and all the time , In the
meantime , John 0 , Yeleer has opened up
headquarters hero , and is asserting that his
own friends number a majority of the
Douglas county delegation , nod that his
name vIll go before the convention with no
uncertain sound ,
Yeiser and his friends will attempt to gain
strength In the conventions by forcing itt
strong anti-pass resolutions , believing that
many of the back-country delegates will
rally to the support of the only candidate
who is opposed to the pass system , The
members of the state house party and the
machine managers from over the state will
attempt to prevent the pass resolutions from
reaching the convention , and in order to
avoid the most enubarassiag question it is
said that the strictest gag rule will be put
in force , The Yciser men , however , say
that they will not be "gagged" anti that the
resolutions will get before the delegates in
some form previous to the nominations.
$ telblus Ng Vleast'iI ,
Lucien Stebbins , populist member of tb.
legislature from Lincoln county , is here and
will remain until the circus is finished , In
discussing the situation Mr. Stebbins said
"The populist convention is being run by a
lot of democrats In disguise. Unless ( ho
populists get lip and assert themselves this
fall the party is eternally gone , and I'm
afraid it won't do a thing but obey the
hosse this time. i'othing but the second
coming of Christ can sat'e it , "
"What do you think of feyihle's chances
for the nomination ? " was asked the Lincoln
county legislator.
'iVvhl , he's from my eounty , ' said Mr.
Stebbins , "and the e1cgations from that
whole end of the state will come down here
for him , bitt that don't mean that the people
all want him nominated. The truth is the
people didn't turn out to the county con-
ventlons , and a lot. of town fellows , already
fixed up by Nevihie , selected thug delegations.
In Lincoln county only twenty-three out of
100 delegates were Present at the 1)01) COil-
vontion , and I can't ' fInd that the democrats
ever haitI nay cont'entien at nil. "
Mr. Stebbins then weut'on to explain that
Neviile is a democrat and that his mane-
gore are democrats , although they pretend
to be pops. "All they want is office , " ho
said. "Nevillc has drawn over $23,000 from
the state .nnd tedcrttl governments since
Clovelnnd was elected , and now that there
is another omco in sight he is right after it. "
OthierN Vhio Ihive hopes ,
.3. N. Gamu is here nursing the injuries
recently received in an accident on his farm
iii Saunders county , and any work lie may
ho doing to secure the gubernatorial nomination -
nation is so quiet aa not to cause a ripple
on tha political surface , Edmisten is workIng -
Ing and scheming night and tiny , working
the machine in his own interests. Governor
Holconib , while apparently favoring Thompson -
son , is also awaiting a posslbho summona
for a renomination. The hope for this has
been growing less since so many county con-
ventlons have declared emphatically against
the third-term policy , npd it Is said that the
Holcomb iniluenco will , f possible , be traded
for a future United States senatorship , this
being the extent of his political ambition ,
lie had hoped to secure a "vindication" in
( ho form of a third-term nomination , . 'blchi
would aid him to got into the senate , but is
now said to be willing to take the senator-
ship without the "vindication. "
One thing that worries the convention
managers is that the attendance will be so
small as to have a dispiriting effect in the
campaign. In an attempt to remedy this
urgent summonses are being sent out to the
county strikers to see that a full number
of men are brought along to represent the
delegations.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 1.-General Merritt
has again cabled the War department
relative to the situation in Manila , which lie
finds very unsatisfactory and dangerous
owing to the attitude of the Insurgents. In
the opinion of General Merritt ( ho attitude
of the Insurgents there is similar to that as-
suirned by Garcia's Cubans upon the qiles-
tion of their right to enter and possess
themselves qf the city , although in this case
the insurgents are a very much more
formidable element , being not only more
numerous , but better armed and filled with
the arrogance following numerous victories
over their Spinish foes. General Merritt.
however , indtcaies that he will do his utmost
to protect the citizens from the savagery of
the insurgents , though his task Is a
dclicnto nod difficult one , because of the
fact that he must , while fighting the
Spaniards , be ready at any moment to repel
tiuc insurgents. The general gave notice
that he was about to combine with Admiral
Dewey In a joint demand for the surrender
of the city to the United States forces , thus
forestalling ( ho Insurgents , and this move
may cause a rupture. It is possible , in view
of the tact that General Merritt's cablegram
was sent from Cavlte last Thursday , that
title movement has been made already by
the combined American military nnd naval
force , although there is some doubt about
thil on account of a statement from Merritt
that ho may need all of his soldiers before
attacking. Still , It is possible that the do-
manti niighit be made without being immediately -
mediately followed by an attack , which
might be deferred until all the troops have
reached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report , General
Merritt had with hint about 12,000 soldiers.
So far seven expeditions have left San
Francisco carrying soldiers to the Philippines -
pines 110(1 It Is the intention to ftmrnishi
Merritt at least 3,000 men ntore than his
present force , If he delays his attack until
all these have ranched him Manila iviii not
be taken in that way before September , for
the last of the troops have not yet started
from Sami Francisco. It may be , however ,
that the arrangement as to the Philippines ,
which , it is expected will be included in ( lie
peace treaty , will obviate the necessity for
runner action on too part o ! the American
commanders.
Secretary Alger anti Secretary Long are
in conference with the presbhemit over the
serious sItuation in the Philippines. They
have important dispatches front General
Merritt and Admiral Dewey. Secretary
Alger admitted the significance of thuese dispatches -
patches , hut declined to state their exact
nature.
