Btlll dlsctiung the causcj ami probable ef
fect of I lie nomination ot Charles A. Towue
for the vice presidency. Apparently not a
nan on the Nebraska delegation returnctl
without u hum spot of some kind and many
of them du not hesitate In denouncing the
action of Ijitj convention. In au unhand way
they will remnrk that "CiiSrioy"' Ton no will
make it good candidate for vico president
but tlmy nevcrthelcsu are fearful of thu re
sult of his nomination. Homo ot these wha
were ut Unit indignant at the very apparent
roliukn that afl administered to llryan have
allowed their wrath to suhsldu to n certain
axti'iit n ml arc now excusing tho action of
tho convention hy laying that hod not the
popullHto nomlnntcd a vice president tho
mlddlc-of-the-roadcrs would have had
enough ammunition to reduce their ranks hy

"I think I know the sentiment of the pop
tillsts rf Nebraska about as well an nny
liody," niild Land Commlflsloncr Wolfo, "for
I have trawslnl nil over tho state within tin
Jat year. If tho convention had not nomi
nated MMiii'oiie thousands of (opullsts woulj
liavo gonu over to thu mlddle-of-tho-roai
party."
Notwithstanding the fact that tho Ko
fcraaka delegation was defeated In everything
it ntlcmptei to do, an effort will bo made
to bitvii a dcmotitratloii of moiiio kind wh.'ii
llryan is ouiclally notllled of his nomination.

Senator Ilutler Is being chargeil with
treachery In eccurlng the national chairman
ship. It Is nsscrtcd that ho had pledged his
uupporl to J. II. Kdmlaten and hail an
nounce 1 that he wns not nnd could not bo
n candldntu for the position himself.
"When tho populist national committee
met In Unroin last (March somo of us went
to Ilutler nnd asked hint If he was a can
didate for the chairmanship nnd ho told tia
that us he was going to bo a candidate for
ro-eilectlon to tho senate he could not de
votn Iho necessary time to the committee."
Bald one of Mr. IJdmtetcn's trie tula. "He
oven told us that ho wns In favor ot Kd

candidacy for thu position. Wo supposed
of con rue Hint Kdm!tcn had n clear Hold
And were feeling iiultc confident of his suc

lilm ugnin nnd he then told us that whllo
ho was nut a randldnte for the chairman
ship he would llko to have It. an It mlghl
lielp him along somo In hl.i candidacy for

"Therti was strong opposition to tho elec

tieforo the convention. He had been nc
UiHL'ii of playing into tho hands of tho
democrats und of manipulating the ma
chinery of the committed for democratic In
tereAlH and there was a host of populistu
who would hnvo taken up thu fight aga'nst
thltn had It not been for his speech. Hut
this remarks (teemed to turn the tide nnd
this, coupled with. the absolute lack ot In
terest on tho part of the Nobraskuni, got
lilm the pnitltlon. I believe, however, that
tf the Nebraska delegates had remained at
Sioux Kails and worked In Kdmlsteu'g. in
ternets we could have elected him. Kvcn

LINCOLN, Nob., May 13. (Special.)
Looking backward over a period of forty
three years T. P. Kcnnard of this city tells
of au interesting incident connected with
tho removal of the state capltol from Omaha
to Lincoln.
'"Just forty-threo years ago tho 21th' of
April I left St. Louis by steamboat for
Omaha. Thero were no railroads through
Iowa or Missouri in those days with tho
exception ot a short road of a few miles
up the Missouri river. It took us fourteen
days to make the trip to Omaha, which
was then but a straggling village ot only
1.000 or 1,200 Inhabitants. My recollection
Is that there was only one brick houso In
the city and that was located about whero
the Omahu bank "building now Htauds. I
wanted to go to De Soto, twenty-two tulles
up the river, und as I couldn't get n con
veyance of any kind, I had to walk thu
entire distance. It will pcrhars be Inter
esting to tho younger citizens of Nebraska
to know that Do Soto at that time contained
three banks, ten or twelve stores and had
a population ot from 100 to COO and was a
county seat. Today tho place Is nearly
vacated. In those days De Soo was hy all
odds the largest and -best town north ot
Omahn and was looked upon as a vlllago
with most promising prospects.
"When I came to Nebraska nobody ex
pected to llvo to see Nebraska a state. They
thought this was .a pretty good place in

Colonel J. II. Knight, Indian allotiug agtut,
is In tho city on his way to Cheyenno
agency to take up the work ot allotment on
that reservation. He has just complclol the
work of allotment on Lower Drule reserva
tion, where he located 178 Indians on perma
nent locations. The work on that reserva
tion took about a year, as the Indlnns are
glvon umplo time to consider the matter
beforo tho final allotment Is mailt', hut
all must mako their selections under pres
ent rulings, nud uuleus they aclcd for them
selves the agent will Bclect for them and
notify them of the place. On Lower Urule,
now that tho Indians nre all on their allot
ments, they havo a large amount of land In I
common, and they desire to fell a llltlo i
over two townships of thla to tho govern
ment nnd tako tholr pay in cattle. Tho ,
amount they desire to dispose of will bring
them about JG0.000. They want to uoo
enough ot this to fence tho balanco of tho
reservation and make n pasture of it fiooi
from tho herds of tho whites, nnd be ul-
lowed to enro for nnd sell tholr own cattle, l
On Cheyenne Illver reservation tho work
will tako u much longer time than at Lower
Hnile, as there are 2,r.ri2 allotments to
mako, nnd nt the samo rate as tho work has
been dono at Lower Ilrulo and Is being done
at KoBobud, It will take llvo or nix years
to settle all the Indians. On that reserva
