(Special. )-Thc sen ration of the hour In political circles Is the quadrilateral conclave held behind closed doors at tho state republican headquarters mu i-inucn last nleht. . Tho candidacy of 0. M. Lambcrtson for ' governor was not so much a surprlso as ' was the willingness of A. K. Cady to be come bis running mate for lieutenant gov- J crnor. Among thoughtful republican vet- , ornns the concerted attempt of Lambcrtson, , Illnshaw, Ilalncr and Cady to head off i Thompson by nn alllanco with Thurston Is pronounced Indiscreet. Tho significance of Including Thurston and . Schneider In the alliance was shown by tho number and activity of tho federal con tingent. J. W. Johnson and Tom Konnard of tho Lincoln land offlco, Census Super- j visor Evans of Koncsaw and PostmaMors ! Graham of Beatrice and Sedgwick of York j did not drop In by accident.

While Schneider's friend, Jofsen, has been holding mm up as an original Hayward man. It Is ! known here in Lincoln that Schneider camo 1 down to the last legislature expecting to ! make Ilalner senator, but finding his sup- 1 port too week foil in for Hayward, with I Ilalncr as a possible legatee lu case Hay- ward failed to land. Chairman Orlando Tcfft. who has been ' Schneider's understudy and for whom 1 Ilalncr was Induced to mako way as tho I head of the committee, has been nearly aa ' bitter as Schneider about Thurston up to recently, but when Schneider turned Tcfft , followed suit, not becauso he regards Thurston's selection as tho proper thing, but becauso Schneider fears he cannot suc ceed In his ambition to become n member of tho national committee without the sup port of tho federal brigade.

Ho could havo been a candldato for governor utmost without opposition, but has steadily refused to allow his name to bo used. Tho only plauslblo explanation Is that ho has n senatorial bee In bin bonnet and has been petfluaded that ho Is taking tbo shortest cut. .Mn- liny Cclebrntlon Committee.

April 21. (Spe clal) Tho caso of tho Nebraska Mutual Hall Insurance company against A. J. Au- PLAIN TALK To Cntnrrh Sufferer. Every person suffering from catarrh In Its many forms knows that the common lo- 1 tlons, salvos and douches do not euro. It Is noedUss to arguo this point or to cito cases of failure, becauso ovory victim of catarrhal trouble knows It for hlmsolf If ho has tried them. A local application, If It docs anything nt nil. simply gives temporary relief; wash, lotion, salvo or powder cannot reach the scat of the disease, which Is tho blood. Tho mucous mombrano seeks to rollove tho blood of catarrhal poison by secreting large quantities of mucous, tho dlschnrgo sometimes closing up tho nostrils, descend ing to tho throat and larynx, causing nn Ir ritating tough, continual clearing of tho throat, deafnrss, Indigestion and many othor dlsagrceablo nnd persistent symptoms. A remedy to really euro cntnrrh must be nn Internal treatment a remedy which will gradually cleanse the systom from catarrhal poison nnd remove tho fover and congestion always present in the mucous membrane. The best remedies for this purposo nro Kucalyptol, Sangulnnrln and Ilydrastln, but tho difficulty Iwb always been to get theso valuablo curatives combined ln ono pala table, convenient and onlcicnt form. Recently this has been accomplished and tho preparation put on tho market under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; they aro large, ploasnnt-tnstlng lozenges, so that they may be slowly dissolved In tho mouth, thui reaching every part of tbo mucous mem brane and finally the stomach and Intcc ttnoi. An advantage ulso to be considered Is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no co caine, morphine or poisonous narcotics, so often found In catarrh powders, and tho use if which often entails a habit more dan rerous than tho dlsense. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by drug C'lSts at 50 cents for full sited package and aro probably the safest and most effectual catarrh euro on the market.

Formal an nouncement of the proposed change ln the tltlo of the silver republican party was mado today In n document setting forth tho party platform Issued by Executlvo Agent Corser. The announcement states: " 'Lincoln republicans' are to succeed 'freo sliver republicans,' and tho 'national silver republlan party' 13 to glvo wny to the 'Lin coln republican party.' The party of one Is sue Is to become the party of several Is sues, and the Issue to which It owes Its origin Is to bo pushed Into tho background, whllo changing Its name it becomes more democratic than ever nnd Its members bopo to render more aid to tho 'regenerated de mocracy' than ln 1896. Tho transformation scene Is to take place at Kansas City, July 4. when the national convention of the free silver republican and the democratic parties are ln session." It Is alleged In the statement that tho re publicans of today aro different In all but name from the republicans of Lincoln's time. E. S, Corser, who Issued the manifesto, has acted In the capacity of odlclal Inter mediary between the national organiza tions of tho various parties and believes that the results of the preliminary work accomplished by tho Lincoln Republican league will lead to tbo adoptlpn nt Kansas City of a platform, tbo planks of which have already been formulated, glorifying Lin coln's moraory and Jncldontally'cxcorlatlng President McKtnlcy and his administration, nnd predicting tho nomination cf Bryan and Towne by tho democratic convontlon. Tho Lincoln Republican league workers have been especially active In Illinois, In diana, Ohio and Minnesota, tho latter stato being the center of tho movement.

If Theodore Roosovelt had accepted tho nomination It would have been tendered him with practical unanimity. But since he has declined to allow his name to be considered, tho party ought not to forco him further. "Cornelius Bliss also would have been an Ideal candidate. His able administration of tho Department of the Interior ha given him great strength throughout the west, In which part of the country ho Is very popu lar.

"New England can preent many candi dates who would bo acceptable to the coun try and who would ably Ml this high office, but It would bo of no political advantage to nominate a man from New England, If, however, tho vice presidency should go to this part of tho country, Secretary of the Navy John D.
