LINCOLN, July 23. (Special. )-Ofilcors of
tho peoplo's Independent state central com
mittee havo formally declared war against
tho populist or middle-of-the-road party and
today they fired the first shot In tho shape
of a protest against allowing any of the
candidates of that party to fllo certificates of
nomination in tho secretary of state's oflicu.
Tho contention arises from the use of tho
little word "populist," which, it is claimed,
vas plagiarized from the name ot tho pco
jilo's independent party. The real object in
filing tho protwt Is to prevent the name
"populist" from being used on the official
ballot.
Chairman Edmlsten begins his protest with
tho assertion that a "certain body of men
purporting to hold a convention Intend to
nssumo an their party name the political
designation -populist.' " lie next informs
the secretary of stato that this namo has
customarily nnd usually been applied to tho
people's Independent patty." and that It was
adopted at Orand Island for the purpose ot
confusing and deceiving voters.
Secretary of Stato I'orter advised the dele
gates to the Orand Island convention not to
tiso tbo name "populist" without some pre
fix, such as "straight" or "true." and It
.would not be a surprlso to many of them If
ie decided to grant the Injunction asked foi
by Chairman Edmlstcn. It matters little,
however, which way tho secretary of state
decides, for tho case will bd nppealcd to the
supreme coiltt for final settlement. As
court docs not meet again until September
thn prospects nro gool for a decision some
limn after election.
Look l,l.- ii riiniiKi- of llonrt.
Viewed In tho light of their comment con
cerning tho middle-of-the-road movement
nnd tho convention nt Orand Island nnd
their remarks that tho candidates would not
recelvo any votes from the fusion forces,
tho Htrp taken by tho peoplo's Independent
state committee todny might be considered
ns n llttlo Inconsistent. The band of popo
cratlc stato olllrlnls anil officeholders who
returned to Lincoln Saturday after making
desperato efforts to "queer" tho convention
nt Grand Island united In saying thnt the
ticket would not Injure the cause of fusion in
tho slightest degree, but, rather, that It
vsould weaken tho republican ticket by
drawing to It a lot ot dissatisfied republican
voters. Tbey wero disposed to Ignore the
movement entirely, but the action of the
stato committee todny shows that they have
nltercd their opinion of the middle-of-the-road
strength.
At tho state houso the convention at Orand
Island continues to be the only, topic of
conversation. W. I). Price of tho auditor's
ofllco, In speaking of tho situation, said:
"I bellcvo tho middle-of-the-roaders
would poll between 7.000 and S.OOO votes in
this state If tho election were held today.
Tho movement haa considerable strength
nnd wo cannot deny it. It Is something the
fuslonlsts will havo to faco In tho coming
campaign."
As to tho right of the mlddle-of-the-roaders
to a place on tho ticket under the
namo of "populists" opinion among tho fu
slonlsts Is divided. The law provides that
no portion of an old party name shall be
used by a new party nnd under this provi
sion tho peoplo'H Independent party
hopes to keep them off tho ticket. It Is ad
mitted that the people's Independent party
has been commonly known ns tho populist
party, but tho latter name has never been
used on any official stato ballot. In defense
of tho mid-roadcrs It Is claimed that tho
court cannot tnko cognizance of any name
that does not appear on rome official record,
that tho namo "populist" as applied to tho
peoplo's Independent party Is similar to tho
application of a nlcknnme or an epithet to
nn Individual nnd has no place In court In
determining tho real name of the party.
Trl of tin- l,nw.
Following Is tho text of tho law governing
protests against filing certificates on nomi
nation: All certificates of nomlnntlon which nro
In apparent conformity with the provisions
of this net shall bo deemed to be valid, un
less objection thereto nhnll be duly made In

made, notice thereof nhall forthwith be

respective places of residence as given in
the certificate of nomlnntlon. Objections
to uso of party name or device may also

ner ns objections to certificates The of
ficer with whom the original certificate was
tiled shall in the tlrst Instance pass upon
tho validity of such objection, nnd his de

lie mado In the matter by a county court
or by n Judge of the district court or by a
justlco of the supreme court at chambers
on or before the Wednesday preceding the
election. Such order may be made sum
marily upon application of any party In

secretnry of state or the order of the judge
or supreme court justice revising such de
cision shall bo binding on nil other county,

from his home Saturday night by a num
ber of persons supposed to bo his neigh

wbb told of tho many warnings sent him
by tho marshal nnd uUq other persons to
stop misusing his family and as ho did
not seo fit to do so the citizens here had
decided to give him n dose of his own medi
cine. He was asked if he would rather
be hung by the neck until dead or would
rather die by being drowned. He chose
tho latter nnd he was thrown In the creek.

harm could happen to him and by bis own
request he was let go with the under
standing that ho leave the country. Adams,
who Is an old soldier, draws a good pen

hi? family by beating them until they are

republican conventions scheduled to meet
here tomorrow. While there Is a strong In
fluence working for the fulfillment of the
grcemcnt of the state committee, mado
months ago, as to a distribution of the of
fices In order to effect fusion, there Is also
an opposition of considerable proportions to
that arrangement. This latter is caused by
the candidacy of a number of men whose
omlnntlons must necessarily bo In violation
f tho agreement. An open conference of
democrats and populists was held this morn
ing nt which a general feeling in favor of
landing by tho ngrccment was displayed.
Hut Chairman Riddle of the populist com
mittee Insisted in suggesting that the demo
crats nominate cx-Unltcd States Senator
John Martin as their candidate for associ

this ofllco goes to the democrats uuder the
agreement, if the democrats nominate blm
nn enthusiastic fusion will bo effected be
yond doubt. If they refuso tho agreement
may be broken and In that case an entirely
new deal will have to bo arranged.
The original agreement provided for the
following disposition: Democrats, associate

dissatisfaction expressed with Governor
Dolo's boards of registration. The objection
Is not to tho individuals appointed, per

republicans. There Is not a democrat on any

tho Individuals composing them can bo found
out, except R. C. Searlc of tho Maul board,
nnd It Is said that there cannot be moro
than ono or two who havo not publicly de
clared themselves republicans. With these
exceptions tho entire personnel of the board
Is republican. Oovernor Dole was seen and
made tho following statement:
If n mistake has been mnde In selecting
the boards of registration there were two
riasons for It. First. I was Ignorant of the
custom on me m.-uniami in regard to sueli

The governor expressed himself as anxious
to mako the boards as nearly non-partisan

GEORGETOWN. Ky., July 23 The court
room was only about halt filled with spec
tators when the Powers case was callcl
today.
Tho prosecution gave notice that It would
xcuse a halt dozen persons summoned as
witnesses for that side. Among those ex
cupod wns Iko Golden, brother of Sergeant
Wharton Golden.
Lieutenant John Ryan, an officer In the
Barbourvlllo military company, of which
John Powers was captain, was the first
witness today. He arrived In Frankfort
January 25 with the train load of moun
taineers. Before tho train reached Frank
fort witness said the men were told to re
port to W. II. Culton for rations. Tho
men wero armed with guns and pistols.
rrlvlng at Frankfort they took possession
f tho Agricultural building and stacked
their guns there.
Witness sold each morning a crowd of
from 300 to 600 mountain men occupied tho
yard In front of the legislative building.
Wltnets had n conversation with Youtsey
the day before tho assassination. Youtsey
aid Ooebel had to be put out of the way
nd he (Youtsey) had $100 which he would
glvo for that purpose, and knew ten or
welve others who would also contribute to
such a fund. Yoiltpoy also said Ooebel
could be killed from tho executive building.
that the assassin could escape through tho
barement and never be detected. He said i
his Job depended on Ooebel being killed.
Flftcon minutes beforo tho assassination
wilntK-4 saw Youtsey and the latter told him
he wanted tenty-flve or thirty men to ac
company blm to tno executive building.
Continuing, the witness said:
"Youtsey put U3 insldo the executive
building, near the stairs. He told us some
thing was going to happen nnd we must
remain there. When we started through
the hall I feft ond went Into a private resi
dence ncross tho street from tho building
I had been thero a few minutes when I
heard the shots. I did not know nny of the
men whom 1 left nt the foot of the stairs
n tho executive building."
Witness explained that the men whom
Youtsey placed were Just outside the office
of the secretary of state. He said he left
because he did not want to bo present In
ense of a killing.
Cross-exnmlned. tho witness snld that
when YouUiey placed the men In the hall
he told them that as soon ns "something
happened" a man would rome down tho
step and go away with them.
Witness said when Youtsey left tho men
ho went in the direction of the governor's
office.
R. E. Coombes. private secretary to Ap-
pellato Justlco Hobson. next witness, told
of a conversation between two mountain
men In the houso lobby a day or two beforo
the assassination In which they spoke of
"picking them out," meaning the democrats.
During tho crcss-examlnatlon of Coombs
ex-Governor Brown objected to testimony
that mountaineers went to Frankfort nrmed,
as the right to carry arms was n constitu
tional privilege. The court took Issue on
this point and said that the law did not
permit crowds of armed men not In the mil
itary service and called out In the regular
way to gather for any purpose.
Adjutant General Murray read a letter
which he found on file In his office at Frank
fort, having been left thero at the time of
the evacuation of the Taylor troops. It
was from Powers to Adjutant General Col
lier, dated January 22, In which Powers
rays:
We have undertaken a scrloun matter.
We must win. Wo must have the men and
guns."
I'lnley Is Iinpllrnted.
W. P. Rceder of Knox county saw Charles
Flnley at the depot nt Barbourvllle on tho
evening of January 23, when tho crowd of
mountalncera was being made up to go to
Frankfort. Witness asked Flnley If Goebel
wns not bo killed. Flnley replied with a
gesture that ho would not be surprised.
Witness asked how soon he would be killed
and Flnley replied that It would possibly
happen In less than five days. Witness said
the conversation with Flnley took place In
the presence of Wharton Golden.
Wade H. Watts, colored, one of the Jani
tors In the adjutant general's building, said
that on Snturday before tho shooting Green
Golden. Lieutenant Rlcketto and others were
in the building. Ono of them said there
was likely to be a fight any minute. Green
Golden Bald they should bo prepared to
stand off the police and a sentinel was
placed outside to watch the gate. Repre
sentative Lilly came Into tho office and one
of tho men told him that a signal shot was
to bo fired In the houso; that tho repub
lican members should not Hpo from their
seats: that the democrats would rise up In
tbo excitement and that the men In the
lobbies would shoot thom down. Witness
said ho did not know tho name of the man
talking, but know bla face well and knew
lhat he was ono of the mountain men who
arrived January 25.
On tho day of tho assassination witness
said he was in tho barber shop in the base
ment of tho executive building. Imme
diately after tho shooting, he said, Henry
Youtsey ran Into the basement coming from
the steps leading up to the secretary of
state's office. Youtsey wns running and as
he passed exclaimed, "Great God, what Is
that shooting about?"
Youtsey did not stop, but ran on out of
the room. He held his coat as If he had
some kind of nn object concealed under It.
The shots sounded to the witness as if they
wero fired from tho secretary of state's
office.
