FORCING FUSION ON SMITH

hut Are Simply Frown.
The handful of so-called silvrr repub
licans In Omaha are taking a llrm stand
m the contest for the fusion nomination
for congress In the Second district by dis
playing a bold front , anil manifesting a
disposition to block the democratic ma
chine. While not. openly opposed specially
to .1 democrat being the nominee of the
three conventions , they hava sought to
dictate tha nomination. But now having
reached the end of their string they admit ,
that the democratic machine Is master of >
the situation. j
Such silver republicans as J. W Carr , i
Dr J. J. Saville and a few others , some
time ago announced that they would not I
endorse thu nomination of Dudley Smith , j
who is the choice of tha manipulators In
the democratic ranks. They hold that Smith 1
Is not really a free coinage man , that his
social tendencies are all toward aristoc
racy , and that he is an enemy to organized
labor , all of which they said would be
scrtous sources of weakntis In the camI I
paign. I
U first they talked of bringing out one of
thulr own following as a candidate , hoping' '
that In a conflict between -he democrats and j
populists they might capture the nomination. ,
Later , learning that the democrats would not'
u > iulder them4 as a factor in th contest , they
turned their Utcntion to trying to dictate
the naming of a democrat. They took up ;
W 3. Poppleton. but Mr. Poppluton put a
stop to it all by declaring that he was not a
candidate for the nomination , aa his private
interests are In such condition that ho can
not alford to neglect them at this time for
any public office. This announcement , com
ing almost at the eleventh hour , tha con
ventions being held on Saturday , leaves the
silver republicans practically without any
thing to stand upon , and Dr. Saville now
says they will probably have to accept Smith
as their candidate.
It la reported today that the populists may
spring , \ candidate ) for the congressional
nomination In the person of Dr. A. J. Cook.
This la taken to b .in effort to force the
demoeralB to make concessions on the legis
lative ticket Populists say tha silver re
publican * will 'omo to Cook before they will
'a Smith , and that this will place them In
position ro make it more than Interesting ( or
thfir democratic brethren.
Dr. Cook will not discuss his proposed
ranrtldacy definitely. Ho said a number of
his friends have been to him 10 urge tie
UEO of his name in this connection , but he
hopes all parties may select some good man
"upon whom they can unite harmoniously"
Some of the popocratic labor leaders , who
pretend to represent organized labor , are
taking an active part in the work of select
ing the fusion candidate , directing their
efforts bpecjally against the nomination of
Smith. Their grievance is that when Gov
ernor Kolcomb was considering appoint
ments to the state exposition commission ,
the name of T. F. Sturgis of this city was
presented as a candidate for ono of thu
places. Mr. Sturgls la state organizer for
the International Typographical union , and
prominently identified with organized labor
Interests. The charge is made that the
name of Sturgis was favorably considered
by the governor , but that Smith , who as
a member of the legislature at the time , in
terfered , and urgtd that a representative ol
organized labor on the commission would
foment labor troubles and embarrass the
work of building the exposition. It is al
leged that thin interference by Smith de
feated the naming of Sturgis. and the rep
resentatives of organized labor promise to
make their influence felt should Smith be
nominated for cong-ess.
These things are , not. however , apt to
change the slate of the democrats. While
Etigar Howard of Papilllon may receive a
few scattering votes in the convention from
the democrats , ho has no serious following. I
Several democrats say that while Howard '
Is good to laugh at , he Is too ambitious , and
could not be considered seriously as a can- .
dldatc for congress.
Dudley Smith Is the man agreed upon for
the nomination. The Douglas county dele
gation Is made up in his Interest , and It i
will control the convention. The method
of procedure in the conventions tomorrow ,3
apt to be after the precedent established
by the state conventions. It Is expected
that Smith will get the democratic nomina
tion on the first ballot , and that vote will
be repeated until the other two conventions
endorse him. or they are forced to adjourn
without action.

The soft lephyrg that floated down from
the northland yesterday cooled one of ,
the biggest street crowds that has as-
aembled Jown town since the opening of' '
the exposition. All of the street car lines
looked alike so far as the num'Jcr of pas
sengers carried were concerned. It was a
rare car that didn't have its footboards j ;
crowded both a-comln' and a-goin' . The
crowds moved about In all dlrpction < , and (
is the weather was simply dellghtf ii they '
all appeared to be well satisfied v ith tholr | ;
trip up-to-date.
Probably it was the fact that Friday was
set aside aa no spec.al day at the exposi
tion that cantnbuted so largely to thu dawn-
town crowds. An excursion of children to '
thu number of about 300 from points on | |
the Union Pacific attracted considerable at- ] |
tentlon as it pushed through town 01 its
way to the exposition grounds. Then ihero
wore about two divisions of the street
parade composed of more visitors from
Chllllcothe , Mo. , where the corn-cob pipes
coma from. They were heartily welcomed
by WUllam Paxton and oher citizens. After
abort trips about town most of the nrangera
found their way to the exposition ifmunus ,
there to revel in delights far surpassing
their fondest anticipations.

Saturday is Bohemian day at the exposi
tion. It will call together the biggest and
greatest gathering of people of Bohemian
birth or nativity that has ever met in the
transmiEsiEsippi country In Its history. It
will be ono of the big days In the history
ol the Transmlslssippi Exposition. It is es
timated that anywhere between 7,000 and
10,000 Bohemians will take part m and wit
ness the celebration of the day.
The advance guard of these guests of the
cty are arriving by hundreds. Regular
trains are crowded with them , and special
cars are attached to many of the trams to
accommodate the incomers. Most of these
visitors are ( rom Nebraska , Iowa and Kan-
sas. There are others , however , from Wls-
cousin , Oklahoma , the Dakotas , Illinois and
iiotn states in the west. The perplexing
problem now Is to take care of all these
visitors. Even with the comparatively light
arrivals of today the hotel accommodations
on South Thirteenth street , where the vis
itors naturally congregate , are already taxed.
The visitors are given a royal reception.
They are met at the depots by special com
mittees , who give all possible information.
South Thirteenth street is a mass of nags
and bunting. Every business establishment
is tlying the Bohemian and American colors.
Resident Bohemians accept every opportu
nity to extend the glad hand of welcome and
hospitality to their guests.
The day's celebration will commence at
10 o'clock in the morning , when the arst
feature , the parade , will commence to
mo\e. The rallying point is the corner of
Thirteenth and Williams streets. AH the
Bohemian turners , the Bohemian fraternal
societies , the Catholic societies and all
other Hohemian societies of this city and
South Omaha will be represented In the
lin < ? . Thera are also to be a full dozen of
handsomely decorated floats and many car
riages containing the notables In the line
of march.

OMAHA , Aug. 25. To the Editor of The
Bee : It was with feelings of some little
satisfaction I read the report on page 7
of this morning's Bee regarding the In
dignation of Xorth Twenty-fourth street
merchants as to the condition of said
street. No doubt each and every Individual
In the city would like to see Twenty-fourth
street in a passable condition , but the ob
jections raised by councilmen ire just In
avery way. Let us draw a parallel case
and carry your readers to VInton street
on tto south side. Here we have only four
blocks In tha chain of the only southern
outlet to the city where more travel , actual
commerce , the life blood of our town will
be found than on any other suburban
street in Omaha , the only thoroughfare be
tween Omaha proper and manufacturing
Omaha or South Omaha.
The casts are not exactly parallel , as the
north side property owners are recorded
as wealthy while the property owners on
VInton street are poor laboring people
that have paid or nearly paid for paving
the street with cheap pavement , while
the/ have never for a day enjoyed the priv
ilege of a rids ever the street excepting
in the poor man's carriage , the street car.
This street is a disgrace as viewed by our
selves. What impression muit it make on
visitors , whoae nrst questions are 'What
are your main thoroughfares ? Let us look
at them. ' The north alders hava reaped
benefits to no end by the locating of the
exposition and It Is only nght If we , on thu
south side , cannot have repairs absolutely
neccs-nary owing to shortage of funds , our
friends on North Twenty-fourth atrret
should also be compelled to nurse their
woes. Misery lovrs company

ST. LOUIS , ATljf. :6. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Carrollton , 111. , says.
Dr. L. C. Davis has been horse-whipped ,
tarred and feathered and driven out of this
city by a mob of indignant citizens. Dr
Davis came to this city about two years ago
as the representative of an Indianapolis sani
tarium. Ho become acquainted with Miss
Maud HenElcr , the daughter of J. W Hcna-
Icr , a well known wagon maker and black
smith and respected citizen of this city.
After keeping the girl's company nearly a
year they disappeared and on returning re
ported themselves married. They cook up
their residence in Alton , where a child was
born. Mr. Hensler on making investigation
discovered that they had not been mamed.
Hu went to Alton and had Davis arrested
and compelled him to marry his daughter.
Since then , Hensler asserts. Davis has been
extorting money from Hunsler by threaten
ing to take his life. Davis raised a. disturb
ance. Himsler had him arrested and locked
up in the county Jail. On signing an agree
ment to leave the- city Hensler declined to
prosecute him and ha was released. Instead
of leaving ho returned to the Hensler resi
dence last night and being afraid of him
Hensler had him again arrested and locked
up la the city prison. Shortly after midnight -
, night last night a mob , nupposed to have
, been led by friends of Hensler , broka Into
i the jail and took Davis out. He was taken
I to Henzler'a shop , where another party beat
I Davis with whips and tarred and feathered
him. His life was spared on the promise
that ho would leave the city.

'
restaurant keeper , and A. M. Baum , a
restaurant keeper , for doing business on
Sunday In violation of the common labor
law. The trouble started last winter when
the Retail Clerks' association caused the ar
rest of several clothiers who kept their
1 stores open Sunday forenoons. Then the
Retail Grocers association proceeded
1 against those In their business who kept
open on Sunday forenoons. The Retail
Butchers' association decide * ! Tuesday night
| to cause the arrest of all tu their line of
trade who keep open on Sunday. Now come
the wholesale and retail clothiers with an
attorney and the determination to arrest all
who do business of any kind on Sunday , ex
cept that which tha law holds to be neces
sary. This Includes cigar stands , soda water
stands , newa depots and all mercantile es
tablishments. The arrests of today , caused
by the clothiers , will be followed by oth
ers. The Retail Grocers' association met lost
night and by an overwhelming majority de
cided to continue thu prosecution of all re
tail grocers who sell on Sunday.
