LINCOLN, April 21. (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. Neither did
George W. Pest, whoso brother. Judge Post, I
Is being pushed by Thurston for n federal I
Judgeship In Porto Rico. I
Halncr's attachment to Schneider has
doubtlcts overcome his repugnance to
1tillrtnH ...111. . . . I. 11. . '
"iiu ivuoin no nas neon at swords
points over Hlncc ho left congress. 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.
What effect tho candidacy of Lamberlsm,
with tho hacking of Schneider and Thurston,
will hnvn llnnn thtt fnrtlitins nf Htntrlnh anil

not be surmised. Doth of these candldntcti
have been laboring under tho Impression
that Schneider was for them. Cady's posi
tion In tho new combination nppcarn to bo
nn enigma to everybody hereabouts. 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.

LEXINGTON. Neb., April 21. (Special.)
Mrs. F. H. Adams of this city has at
tained a national reputation as an artist
In China painting. During tho last week
sho made a display of her collection, at
her studio, which was visited by the people
of this city, nnd also art loving pcoplo from
surrounding towns. Tho display she made
tho last week was all tho work of her own
hinds, and had all been accomplished slnco
tho first of the presont year. The collection
required the use of eleven tables and com
prised bric-a-brac, bon-bons, Jardinieres,
chop tray, etc. Tho painting consisted of
rose nnd chrysanthemum work, raised paste,
enamel, gold tinting and all tho latest fads
In the art. Among tho collection wns a
coffee set In rookwood, which has not buon
attempted In this country until recently.
Cnnnolfseurs who have been here from tho
city of Philadelphia and other cities pro

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.

ORIGINAL ISSUE TO BE PUT IN BACKGROUND
Trnimformnt Ion Will lie Mmlr In Knn
Hnn City When Xntlnnnl Conven
tion of Silver Itriiulillcnn nnd
Democrntic I'nrtlca Meet.
MINNEAPOLIS. April 21. 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.

NEW YORK, April 21. Tho Tribune this
morning prints tho following: Joseph H.
Mauley, member of the national committee
from Maine, In speaking of tho present con
dition of republican politics in regard to
tho coming vlco prcoldentlal nomination,
said:
"Everyone Is completely at sea so far ns
tho vlco presidency Is concerned, nnd there
ln absolutely no one of tho republican lead
ers who can today say with certainty who
will bo nominated. 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. He, too, would have bad great strength
with tho big business Interests, But Mr.
nils') Is, for personal and family reasons, re
tired from public life.
"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. Long Is the man around whom
the delegates will rally.
"If the vice presidential nomination Is not
to go to New York, however, everything
seetr.a now to point to tho candldato coming
from tho northwest, and If tho right man
should be selected from that section It will
greatly rtrcngtben the ticket. Senator

"Senntor Wolcott of Colorado has also
been mentioned for the vlco presidency, nnd
If he should be nominated he would add
strength to the ticket in the silver states.
"Ex-Senator W. D. Washburn of Minne
sota would also bo nn ndmlrablo candidate.
He has tho benefit of having been born In
Maine and of being a member of one of the
most famous and distinguished of our great I
American families. Washburn has served
his country ably nnd well In the United
Staten senate. It Is understood that Mr.
Washburn docs not care to enter publio

northwest and- throughout tho country, and
would unquestionably ndd ntrength to the
republican ticket should he bo placed
upon It.
"Thero Is a wealth of material for this
great position ln nlmost every part of our
country, and for that reason It Is tho moro
remarkable that ns yet thero Is only one
candidate who Is openly seeking the office.

Ailmlrnl Dewey Keeping Close- Tnl on
Cum pill mi, hut Not TnlkliiK,
NEW YORK, April 21. A special dis
patch to tho Herald from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey Is hesitating about Issuing
his political statement. Men closo to tho
admiral nro urging him to speak and to
speak promptly, whllo others are Impressing
upon him the valuo of tho rulo "Sllenco Is
Golden."
Admiral Dewey Is inclined to regard this
rule with favor, and to bellevo this Is not
tho tlmo for him to talk. His mall nnd
callers assure him that his candidacy is
progressing favorably. What Is thero for
him to gain, ho asks himself, by Issuing a
statement? Admiral Dewey thinks tho tlmo
to act Is when an emergency arises. Ho Is
closely watching political developments In
tho several states. His friends nro keeping
him advised of the situation and nro actively
trying to break tho Brynn forces In his
behalf.
Tho ndmlral Is particularly Interested In
Georgia and Texas. If tho delegates In those
states can be sent to Kansas City without
Instructions or with Instructions to voto for
tho admiral tho latter believes tho Bryan
south will bo transformed Into tho Dowey
south.

GATES GETS VINDICATION
(Uvea Nn Gncoiirngrinrnt for lleopen
Iiik of Wire MIIU nt nn
Knrly Onto,
NEW YORlf, April 21. Referring to tho
action taken by tho directors of tho Ameri
can Wire and Steel company nt tho special
meeting, Mr. John W. Gates, according to
tho Hcrnld, sold: "Well, you sco, I was
right. Tho directors saw It, too, and every
ono of them voted that I was right. Tho
voto of tho directors was unanimous n
vindication I nm proud of. Whnt tho
directors admit now, by their action. In
authorizing tho reduction In prices, others
will also admit within a fortnight. I told the
truth In Wall street nnd they thought I was
lying. I said tho steel business had reached
its height and was going back, und Wall
street attacked mo ln every way. Wall
street Is not used to hearing tho truth.
That's what fooled them, but you will seo
tho othor pcoplo falling In lino nnd, mark
my words, it won't bo long either beforo
everything I havo said will bo corroborated
by actunl developments."
"With this cut In tho price of products tho
mills closed down tho other day will be ro
oponcd, will they not?" asked tho Inter
vlower. "No," replied Mr. Gates. "This will liavo
no Immediate effect on th? ttf.Ts. I can't
say when they will open up, but not In tho
Immediate future, anyway."
A friend who hns been close to Mr. Gates
said afterward that ho doubted If the steel
wire mills would start up beforo September.
An nttempt was made to hovo Mr. Gates
commit himself an thlu point, but he
positively refused.
