LINCOLN', April 26. (Speclftl.)-The an
nual distribution of Insurance notices, al
ways a sourco of much annoyance to the
state auditor, has this year Involved Audi
tor Cornell. InKlir.inrn Clerk t'rl rn and .1
host of Lancaster county democrats in n j
row, wnicu Ban nircady caused an outbreak
of hostilities between the auditor's office
and the local popocratlc organ, tho Dally
Tost. Contrary to tho usual custom Audi
tor Cornell divided the Insurance notices,
which by law arc required to be published
every year, between only two newspapers,
one of them being a weekly periodical and
tho other a local republican dally that has
defended his administration. These notices
will net the publishers about $1,500, which,
so far as tho cost of composition is con
cerned, Is nearly nil profit.
in distributing tho notices Auditor Cor
nell carefully avoided favoring nny paper,
whether fusion or otherwise, which had
not commented favorably upon his official
acts. During tho last scsbIoii of the legis
lature when tho oflico of Auditor Cornell
was subjected to an examination the Post
was ono of the numerous popocratlc organs
In tho stato that not only refused to defend
him, but openly advocated his removal,
nemcmberlng this Auditor Cornell did not
placo the Tost on tho Uvorcd list. .The
Omaha popocratlc organ was bIsd left off
along with tho rest and when tho cancella
tion ' of objectionable. publications was
finished only two remained and between
these tho notices were finally divided.
KlrUn Do No( Worry Cornell.
Notwithstanding tho fact that ho had
openly fought the auditor tho editor of the
Post summoned a number of Influential
democrats together and they united In ex
pressing Indignation at Cornell's action.
They demanded a fair apportionment and
protested against allowing any of tho
notices to bo published In a republican
newspaper, but nil without any effect. Audi
tor Cornell politely Informed tho com
plainants that ho had transferred tho power
of distributing tho notices to Insurnnco
Clerk Price, to whom they wcro nil referred.
Delegation after delegation awaited on Mr.
Price and sought to havo him change tho
apportionment and Anally tho editor of the
Tost appeared In his own behalf.
"I believe In standing by one's friends,"
said Mr. Price, In speaking of the contro
yersy, "and In this matter I certainly pro
pose to rcclprocato for past favors. Mr.
Itockey of tho Post has no right to claim any
of tho notices. Ho even Informed us that
lie would 'roast' us If wo didn't glvo him a
share, I told him to go ahead and 'roast,'
for ho certainly would receive no favors
from this office."
The paper that received tho bulk of tho
notices Is the. Weekly Independent, pub
lished by P. D. Eager.

Tho troubles of O. M. Lambertson, can
didate for tho republican nomination for
governor, aro rapidly Increasing and ef
forts nre now being mado by prominent
Lancaster county republicans to prevent
him from being nominated. In a. speech
before one of the recent conferences hold
In his Intercsta Mr. Lambertson remarked
that he had never bolted a republican
ticket. Some of tho older polltlclanti In
the city who heard this speech havo bunted
up a dodder, or handbill that yas circu
lated Ma. -Lincoln "tap day, "beforo election
In 1886, and signed by Mr. Lambertson,
which appealed to tho voters of tho city
to vote for A. J. Sawyer for mayor, as
against E. P. IlogR.cn, the republican can
didate. By a singular coincidence quite a
number of tho men who also attached their
namrs to tho petition with Mr. Lambert
son participated in the conference Inst week
at which Mr. Lambertson was endorsed for
governor. Through tho efforts of theso
men, who headed tho citizen's movement, a
democrnt wan elected mayor and Mr. Hog
gen was defeated whllo other republican
candidates woro elected. Tho petition was
circulated In largo numbers at every polling
placo In tho city nncr no doubt had con
siderable Influence with tho voters, It read
an follows:
"Republicans, attention: Wo, the under
signed republicans and cltlicns of Lincoln
firmly believe that tho election to 'the office
of mayor of K, P. Itoggcn, tho nomlneo of

KEARNEY, Nob., April 26.-(Speclal Tel
egram.) Tho republican convention of the
sixth congressional district met hsre In tho
opera houtc at 4 o'clock this nftornoon, and
when Chairman N. P. McDonald of the con
gressional committee rapped for order ho
was confronted by ono of the largest, and
certainly one of tho most enthusiastic, gath
erings cvor assembled In this city. All day
long tho feeling of harmony pervaded tho
atmosphere, and when tho delegates finally
assembled not a ripple of discord waa dis
cernible. Tho congrwslonal contest, which
for a time promised friendly but spirited
rivalry, was disposed of without strife or
discord, and "to tho satisfaction of everyone
present, when tho delegation from Judge
Grimes' homo county caucused and decided
In deference to his wishes not to present
his namo to tho convention. This cleared
the arena of all opposition to Judgo M. P.
Klnkald of Holt county nnd his nomination
became a certainty early In the day.
It was shortly after 4 o'clock when dele
gates began to assemble. Tho spacious
theater was decorated with tho national col
ors nnd resting on tho right of tho etage
was a large, well executed crayon of Presi
dent iMcKlnlcy. Tho convention was called
to order by Chairman McDonald, and on mo
tion of W. H. Conger of Loup City W. p.
Miles of Sidney was made temporary chair
man. On assuming tho chair Mr. Miles pre
dicted tho election of tho nomlneo of tho
convention for congress as n righteous leg
acy bequeathed by tho people educated In
tho school of experience. II. A. Turton of
Lexington was mado temporary secretary
and L. M. Bates of Long Pino assistant sec
retary. Committees on permanent organiza
tion and credentials were on motion ap
pointed by tho chair. R. W. Montgomery of
Box Butto county, Judge Wall of Sherman
and J. B. Cavanaugh of Custer being named
as tho former committee. A call of coun
ties by tho secretary disclosed the fact that
thoro wcro no contests und tho list ns sub
mitted wos accepted. Just as tho committee
on credentials was about to report Senator
Thurston entered tho room accompanied by
his wife, and was warmly applauded, as
was also John L. Webster, who followed
shortly after.
Klnknlil'a the Only 'Nnine.
Tho temporary organization was mado per
manent and the following committee on res
olutions appointed: W. T. Wilcox of North
Platte. W. D. Griffin of (lothcnburg, N. P.
McDonald of Kearney, E. D. Bell of St.
Paul, D. M. Amsbury of Broken Bow, T.
J. Smith of Atkinson and S. II. Ladd of
Gordon. After naming tho committee on
resolutions tho convention entered upon the
duty of selecting the congressional candi
date. Alkcns of Box Butto county, In nn
eloquent speech, placed In nomination Judgo
Moses P. Klnkald. Immediately one county
after another seconded tho nomination and
amid ringing cheers tho chair, on motion
to make tho ncoilnatlon by acclamation, put
tho motion and it was carried without a
dissenting voice. Judge Klnkald was given
a most generous ovation and in a brief re
sume of the situation and In accepting the
nomination promised to cngago his rival
in a combat no less . vigorous than meri
torious. . ,
The report of tho committee on resolu
tions endorsed the administration of Pres
ident McKlnley and pointed to the trans
mutation of condition of American labor
and tho American farmer as. an evidence
of the fulfill Jient of republican promises
and as suggosttvo of tho wisdom of continu
ing the republican party In power.
The selection of two delegates to the re
publican national convention nt Philadel
phia resulted In the unanimous cholco of
George B. Darr of Gothenburg and E, J.
Davenport of Valentine, without opposition
or Instructions. James Mcintosh of Sidney
nnd M. L, Frlczo of Arcadia were chosen as
alternates. Ed Roysc, mayor of Broken
Bow, was recommended to tho state con
vention as presidential elector from this
district.
.Vow Congressional Committee,

Tho convention then adjourned, following
au nnnouncoment by tho chairman that a
meeting would bo held In tho opera houso
this evening ond would bo addressed by
Senator Thurston, Hon. E. Rosowater nnd
Hon. John L. Webster. The announcement
was received with applause.
Kdunril Hom-wiiter Kpenkn.
At 8 p. m. tho meeting reconvened, with
W. P. Miles In tho chair. There was a
great turnout of citizens of Kearney, among
whom wcro a large number of women. Chair
man Miles opened tho meeting by announc
ing tho presence of tho three giants of tho
republican party of Nebraska: Thurston
Webster nnd Rosewatcr. Ho then Intro
duced Hon. Edward Rosowater.
Mr. Rosewater reviewed tho political sit
uation, touching upon stnto and national
politics, paying tribute to tho statesman
ship of President McKlnley and pointing out
tho shameful nlllanco botween tho popocratlc
rtate machlno nnd tho eorruptlonlsts. Re
ferring to Mr. Bryan, tho speaker 6ald:
"Four years tho boy orator of tho Platte
captured the democratic nomination by de
claring that "Thou shalt not presj the crown
of thorns upon tho brow of labor, nor cru
cify mankind upon n cross of gold,' Tho re
publicans havo gracefully transformed the
qi'asi biblical epigram and havo pressed the
crown of gold upon the brow of labor and
crucified Bryan upon the cross of free
silver."
This llttlo burst elicited tumultuous ap
plause. The speaker next dealt with tho
Porto Rlcan question In icgard to a tariff
and recited article 4 of the Paris treaty
to Dhow that a tariff is cisentlal to tho
preper regulation of production and com
merce with Spain.
Hon. John L. Webster followed Mr. Rote
water, saying:
The democratic and populist parties. In
their stato conventions lately held at Lin
coln, held high carnival n round the sup
posed "crlmo of 1873," nnd In their plat
form renewed their declaration In favor of
tho free and unlimited coinage of Bllver at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
The republican convention which will meet
on tho 2d of May will rejoice over the
fact thnt the republican administration, un
der the leadership of William McKlnley,
has brought the people of Nebraska out
Into the sunshine of hope, and will be an
evidence u' the realization of the universal
prosperltj tnt has tnken up Its abiding
place liming nil classes of people nnd nil
Industrie? In which they nre engaged. It will
adopt a platform thnt will bo a reminder to
our sister commonwealth of the union that
Nebraska lies In the heart of this great
free republic, nnd Is ono of an eternal brotn
erhood of states, linked together In ono
common nnd Immortal destiny.
Whllo the democrats nnd populists have
Joined together In one common cry against
advancement nnd prosperity, agnlnxt growth
nnd expansion, trie republican party will
speak for the higher and nobler sentiments
of a patriotic people, nnd point with not
over-exultant pride to ,the good and glorv
nnd grandeur that has come to the nation
since President McKlnley was elected.
The?e benefits arc like riches which he has
showered upon us from the waving folds of
the flag, like the mannn that fed the people
of Israel In the wilderness.
They Delight In llnrknr.
We regret that there Is a polltlcnl party
In the state of Nebraska thnt clings to
old Issues nnd bygone dogmas, like Spain
clinging to old Idols nnd old theories. Even
the benighted people of China nre awaken
ing to new Ideas and advancing civilization,
nnd to an Internal and external commer
cial trade, and nre ready to accept nnd to
believe In the prosperity that Is encircling
the globe; nnd we had reason to expect
that the populist nnd democrntle parties In
tho state of Nebraska would not tie behind
the Chinese.
Senator Wolcott lately said of his state:
"The black specter of the crime of 1873 no
longer walks abroad In Colorado nnd keeps
us nwnke nights. It has gone over the
rnnge, and we. nre coming out from the
caves of gloom Into the open sunshine of
hoe."
But our ndversarle of Nebraska are try
ing to bring back that specter from over
the range, to walk up and down the valley
of the Platte ns their chief enmrialgner for
the fall election. But there nre some strik
ing fnets In the history of our national
prosperity from 1870 to 1900 which demon
strnte thnt the so-rnlled ''crime of 1S73"
has proven to be a boundless nnd Ilmltles
blessing to the ngrleulturnl people of the
western stnten. In the compnrlsons we nre
nbout to mention we begin with the yenr
18"0, n year which preceded and which could
n hnve been nffected by the so-cniied
deplorable event. There Is no better wny to
determine whether our Industrie have in
creased nnd the people benefited than by
taking Into nccount the fact that we hnve
produced more than we needed for our own
use, nnd hnvp found a market for our sur
plus production.
In 1870 we did not export any live animals,
while In 1899 the value of animals exported
reached $30,000,000.
President Benjamin Harrison once spoke
of Nebraska as being "the Innd of the corn
stalk," yet In 1670 the entire export of corn
nnd eornmcnl was limited to $2,000,000. while
In 1STK) the export of corn and cornmenl hnd
reached tho value of J3J.O0O.(XX.
Nebraska Is becoming n great wheat
growing state, yet In 1870 tho vnlue of wheat
Hour exported wns $22,000,000. while in
It hnd Increased to $71. 000,01X1. The value of
wheat exported In 1.870 was H7.0il0.00O. nnd
It has gone on Increasing until In U99 It
renched In value $101,000,000,
Nebraska Is a great producer of provisions
and with our packing industries nt South
Omnha wo are taking first rank among tho
stnto.. yet In 1870 the value of nil exports
of provisions was limited to $30,000,000, while
iVjJil? ePrt of Provisions had reached
1 7 6,O00, 000.
In 1S99 tho total exports from tho United
HotJjJ1 Industries renched tho sum
of $1,227,000,000. a sum without n parallel
from nny nation anywhere on the face of
the e-arth-a sum s0 enormous that human
Intelligence Is too weak to comprehend Its.
Immensity. The nveruge mnn enn no more

Tlmrnton Clone the Kvrnlng,
Mr. Webster was repeatedly applauded.
Senator Thurston was the last to speak and
he was loudly cheered when he aroso to
address tho audience. He devoted consid
erable attention to republicanism as prac
tically applied under McKlnley and advised
thoso who looked lightly upon the great
Industrial change thus' wrought to remem
ber the distressing days pt democrats, four
yciia ago, when poverty was haunting nearly
every worklngman In the iaUd. Tho repub
lican party, ho said, had started tho mills,
gavo the laborer work nnd provided for his
payment lo honest money. This promise
tho republican party made and has kept.
It has encouraged and stimulated manu
facture and industry and has brought
around such an era of prosperity as this
nation never knew bofore. Ho reviewed
the facts pertaining to the war with Spain,
In which position ho strongly' commended
tho McKlnley administration for Its suc
cessful prcsecutlon of a righteous cause.
The speaker referred to tho relation of the
democratic party to tho annexation prob
lem, raying that had It not been for the
efforts of Bryan tho annexation treaty

If Nebraska will get any more public

nnd commands tho respect of every ,ono. Ills
record In the war, added to his sterling
business ability, would In ray mind havo
added largely to his success. As to Mr.
Morlan I know nothing. If I am nominated
