phia Is now awaiting lt vU.tors. From
the big convention hall down to the smaTTeTst
detail those charged with the responjIbUlty
feel that they have the situation well !n
liand and the completeness of the prepara
tions seems to Justify the belief. As yet
the hospitality of the city 1h by no means
taxed. There have been very few arrivals
today and the lobby crowds at the hotfM
are composed principally of those pcr.-ons
Interested In tho contests with which the
national coruinltlee Is wresttllng on tho
breezy tenth floor of the Walton. Kaklrs

their appearance In scattering Mights todiy
and decorations are beginning to appear
sporadically. The great mass of delegates

In tho hope that ho will give some Indica
tion of bis choice for vice president. Ho
Is still noncommittal and while he Is qtio'cd
In sevoral papers his statements are of a
general character. Chairman llanna has
neon soldom In the committee room and ap
parently avoids taking part In tho delib
erations of the committee so far as tho
contests are concerned. Mr. Kesiend.n
of Vermont presided ovor the committee
nil day, even during tho brief periods when
Senator llanna was present.
As to the vlco presidency, while it was
Iho topmost topic, members of the com
mittee and others here seem to be at sea.
Nearly every prominent republican who
Bays anything about It remarks "that the

the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these Important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as

PHILADELPHIA. Juno 14. Practically
tho entire day was devoted to tho Louisiana
content by tho republican nattcnal commit
tee and tho cmtroversy was decided for
what Ifl known as the Warmouth faction.
When the committee assembled It was an
nounced that tho subcommittee, which was
appointed yesterday to consider tho Dela
ware contest, was not ready to report nnd
passing over this case temporarily tho com
mute,! took up that from the First Georgia
dlotrlet. The contestants were: Joseph F.
Doyle and R. It. Wright. The eoutontees
were J. H. Deveaux and W. R. Leaken. Tho
contest grew out of the rival claims of J. IL
Dclegal and L. M. 1'leartint to the district
chairmanship nnd the committee decided
In favor of tho Deveaux delegation.
The district of Columbia contest was set
tled in favor of J. E. Jones nnd W. C. Chr as
and Hgalnst Dr. Robert Reyhurn and
George W. Lee, the latter a colored
preacher.
Context In l.oiiUlitnn.
The Louisiana enso was then taken up
on the question of state delegntes. Tbero
was a triangular controversy, ono delega
Hon headed by E. T. Wlmberley claiming
position on account of the regularity of
organization. Another, headed by P. F.
Herwlg, claimed Us head to be the recog
nlzed Plate chairman and the Lily Whites,
or sugar planters, headed by ex-Governor
Warmouth, who represented the cane to
the committee for the Lily Whiten, had
scarcely begun to speak when .Mr. Payne,
rcniorklng on the Importance of the case
to tho party, moved that tho contestants
Khotild have nil tho time desired for Its
presentation. i.Mr. Warmouth spoko for
about an hour and a half, contending ear
nestly for the recognition of his delegation.
He asnertcd that It reprmented a new ele
ment in politics In the south, Including
many who were formerly gold standard or
protection democrats. Ho charged that on
tho other hand tho Wlmberley delegation
represented only the officeholders of tho
state, that their fourteen members were
federal olllcoholders. that they were In reg
ular cn-operatlon with the democrnts, their
object being to keep only enough men In
tho party to retain otlice. He asserted
that the Wlmberleyltes made a practice of
receiving money from tho democrats for
campaign purpreea and said there was never
on their part nn effort to secure republican
success at the polls. On the other hand, he
declared that If the Lily Whites were given
recognition here they would carry threo
congressional districts in the state and
they would do this without asking for a
cent of money from the outside.
J. Mndlton Vance spoke for tho Wlmber
ley people. Ho said that Colonel Dick, as
secretary of tho national committee, had
recognized Mr. Wlmberley and his follow
ers an tho regular organization, and that this
organization contained tho old-time work
ers, the battlo-ecarred veterans in tho
south, such ns Captain Wlmberley and ex
Senator Kellogg. Ho charged that the Lily
Whites meant to ostraciso tho negroes and
If that faction should be recognized the
colored people, who had been so faithful to
tho republican cause, would bo without a
political home.
Mr. Herwlg made a plea In his own be
half, but his claims wero not seriously con
sidered by tho committee In reaching a con
clusion. Tho voto stood 23 for tho 'War
mouth faction and 18 for the Wimberleys.
Tho delegation seated consists of H. W.
Warmouth. L. S. Clark, T. J. Woodward and
Joseph I.Illnnc.
I.nnlnlmwi District Content.
When the committee assembled for the
evening sesalon It began the consideration
of tho district contests from Louisiana. As
nearly the samo questions were Involved as
In tho state at large, the committee decided
to give but tlvo minutes each, and they wero
soon disposed of. In tho First district C. W.
Hoothby nnd Walter L. Cohen. Wlmberley
delegates, wero seated. In the Second dis
trict E. Kuntz and Ernest Duconge, Herwlg-Warmouth
delegates, were seateJ,
while In tho Third district Charles Fonta-
lieu nnd E. Correll, Wlmberley delegates,
received tho decision. In the Fourth district
n. F. O'Nell ami F. M. Welch. Warmouth
delegates, received tho committeo's sanc
tion. Another delegation which has not ar
rived served notice of appearing before the
committee on credentials. In the Fifth dis
trict David Young and P. J. Ewen, Wlmber
ley delegates, were successful, and In tho
Sixth district 11. V. Harvard and L. J. Souer,
Wlmberley delegates, were seated without
opposition.
Tho subcommittee of tho national commit
tee, which has been endeavoring to bring
nbout an agreement In the Delaware case,
expects to report back to tho full committee
tomorrow. Tho subcommittee has been un
able to bring about any arrangement with
the rival fnctVms In the interest of har
mony and will report that tho caso rests
Just where It was In tho beginning. This
will necessitate the consideration of the
Dolaware contest by the full committee upon
the merits of tho two factions.
A motion was entored to reconsider tho
Third Louisiana dlftrlct and while the par
tics Interested wore consulting, tho Fifth
Mississippi district was taken up and
J. W. Smith and J. T. Iglehart wore teated.
Tho committee then reconsidered the Third
Louisiana caso nnd seated Julius Godchaux
nnd W. D. Reman. Warmouth delegates.
This action glvei Warmouth control of the
state delegation.
Tho Twelfth Now York district wn then
called, being tho Hess-Goddard mse. S'e
retary Cornelius Hllss Is a delegate fiom
the samo district, but bis seat is uncon
tested. National Committeeman Glbbs presented
tho case of Hem and John Henry HamiiKnd
appeared for Goddard. Ry n vote of 31 to
It Goddard was seated. Tho committee
then adjourned until toworrow at 11
o'clock. It is believed tho contested cases
can be concluded tomorrow.

heart In nn Oven.
A baker In Nuremberg, Germany, recently
proposed marrlago to a girl In a singular
manner. Minna and Henry are their Chris
tian names, but as to their family names
thoro Is no clew, slnco the German papers
which tell the story considerately refrain
from publishing them. Minna had been keep
ing houso for Henry for the last few years
and gradually tho two had fallen very much
In love with each othor. Minna, however,
would have died sooner than let Henry know
how she felt toward him and Henry was
equally bashful. Finally ho went for advice
to an old woman In tho neighborhood who
makes a living by telling fortunes and sho
counseled him to go during tho next full
moon Into tho largo kitchen where his bread
was baked and when tho clock struck mid
night to open the oven and look Into It. Sho
assured him that hu would then see tho face
of his future wife.
Henry went homo -well satisfied, not know
ing that Minna had consulted tho samo old
woman on tho previous evening and had
been told by her that sho would surely obtain
her heart's desire If fcho would only got
Into th oven In tho kitchen a few hours be
fore midnight during tho next full moon and
keep her face turned toward tho door. Minna
did so, nnd, though tho oven was uncomfor
tably warm, sho lay as still as a mouse un
til tho clock struck midnight, when, lo! the
door opened and before her appeared the
well known faco of her beloved Henry. Even
then sho hardly stirred, but stared at
Henry, who, utterly amazed at sight of her,
speedily retreated, evidently under the Im
pression that what ho had seen was some
ghostly vision. The old -woman's ruse, how
over, succeeded admirably and In a fortnight
from that memorable; night Henry and Minna
wero made man and wife.

The primaries of tho fusion populists last
evening did not by any meant) approach a
general uprising of tho people, as tho vote
wan exceedingly light, due partially to the
hreaklng nway from tho party of tho middle-of-the-road
populists and partially to the
apathy that prevailed over tho main ques
tion in controversy. The question was
whether or not the delegation to tho state
convention shall bo In favor of John ().
Yelser for governor. Thoro was somo opposi
tion to Yclser's protenelon-;, chiefly becaus?
of the conviction that tho populists of Doug
las county havo nothing to gain by present
ing him tis n candidate, partially because
Governor I'oynter has somo few friends In
tho county among populists who desire to
feo him renominated. Tho Intter can hardly
bo termed tho ple-eounter brigade, for one
of the reasons why I'oynter is not stronger
among tho populists of tho county Is that he
has never bestowed enough patronage upon
tho members of that party 'to constltuto a
pie-counter brigade. Hut thero Is a. demo
cratic plo-counter coterio In this county,
and such populists as have fallen under the
spell of the political rabbit's foot carried in
the vcat pocket of Colonel Molse were out
combating the aspirations of Yelser.
it is asserted that thero were contests In
several of tho wards, but a survey of the
Acids after the alleged battles failed to dis
close any evidences of carnage, and tho fac
tional leaders wero widely nt variance as to
tho probable effect of tho result of the
primaries upon the itching ambition of
Yelser to corral the delegation. The voto
cast In the various wards In no Instance ex
ceeded forty, the highest voto reported being
thirty-seven in the Sixth ward.
.Sl.tnir I'p tin llemiltia.
In tho First there was no contest and an
antl-Yclser delegation was chosen. No con
test was had In tho Second, and while the
antl-Yeiserltes say that the delegation Is
agalntt him, Yelser contends that he will
have three of them.
In the Third ward the regular primary was
held at 612 South Thirteenth street, where a
delegation was chosen vhlch Is counted
solid for Yelser. It was reported that n
contest was had In that ward, but this Is
probably due to tho fact that tho mlddle-of-the-roaders,
probably In a spirit of mis
chief, took a hand In It. Alleging that V.
S. Horton turned tho lights out at tho regu
lar primary before the time had expired,
claiming that he did so upon Instructions
from Yelser, some well known mlddle-of-the-roaders
claim to have hold a primary at
1413 Farnam street, which, by tho way, is
tho headquarters of tho fusion Peter Cooper
club, nnd selected a delegation.
In tho Fourth ward thero wn3 a compro
mise delegation, of which Yelier claims
seven and his opponents concedo him five.
In tho Fifth Yeiser also clnlms seven, but
his opponents Insist that ho has not more
than two.
In the Sixth Yelser sent out n ticket to
all tho populist voters, but when tho bal
lots were counted not ono of them woo
found. Thirty-seven votes wero cast In
this precinct, which was tho biggest voto
reported. Although no votes wero cast for
tho Yelser delegation, Yelser clnlms that
threo of tho delegates choson aro for him
and three nro conceded to him.
In the Sovonth thirty votes were cast,
Yelser claims fix of the delegates and four
are conceded tn him. Yelser claims all of
the Klghth ward delegation, but his op
ponents contend that It Is an oven break
In that ward and that there was no contest.
Out of tho Ninth ward thoro was a com
promlFo and the flvo votes cast wero for a
divided delegation.
I'lmt Warder Are llelirllloun,
M. J. O'Cnnnell nnd Davo Itowden
crowded Yo'ser out In the First ward.
Itowden Is a Janitor at the stato house.
Twenty-threo votes were cast there.
"I don't know as we'vo got anything In
particular against John O. Yelser, but ho
tried to besa this Flrat ward and wo
wouldn't stnnd for It. Wo mado up our
minds that ho wouldn't go to that stato
convention with all of tho 10.1 Douglas
county votes In his pocket.'' said M. J.
O'Connell, who officiated at tho First dis
trict primaries and ncted as spokesman for
tho other politicians who helped him count
the votes. "Ho's tco much of n kid for
governor and we'll show him ho can't run
tho Flrnt ward to suit himself."
In tho Fourth ward A. W. Tidil, who
hod laboriously upheld tho cause of Yelser
for lo Huso many moons and who was jest
ingly accounted to bo Yektor's prospective
private secretary, was crowded off tho
Yelser delegation In the Intcrist of harmony
nnd J. 11. Jones, n pronounced Poynter man,
squirmed In.
Tho summarltH show that In tho city
Yelsor claims fifty out of elghty-ono volts,
whllo his opponents claim that ho will not
havo mnro than thirty-two. Yelser claims
that South Omaha will bo solid for him,
but It Is Intimated that thoro will bo con
testing delegations from South Omaha on
tho full twenty volts. Yelier claims ten
out of tho thirteen country precincts, while
tho opposition feel sanguine that ho Iidh
reversed tho figures. It will doubtless take
4 test vote to tell who la right about It. It
