SESSION HELD TO SETTLE DIFFERENCES Itepreseiitntlon to He Allotted the SlntiKhter House lJemnoriiey the Only ThliiK Thnt llns Xot Been Adjusted, No harmonious agreement resulted from tho peace conference Saturday afternoon between tho rival democratic county com mittees. Both committees met at 2 p. m tho Howell cotnniltteo at the rooms of the County Democracy and the Molse committee nt tho Board of Trade rooms. Tho former nppolnted a conference committee com prising E. E. Howell, Oeorgo Bertram!, J. J. O'Connor. Dan Cannon nnd A. Hugh Hippie. This committee sallied forth tip Fnrnam street. The Molse committee appointed n conference commlttco comprising Wnltcr Molso, Harry Miller, J. It. Watts, Rhodlo Redmond nnd Patrick Caldwell. They sal lied down Fnrnam street. Neither commlttco knew Just where It was to encounter Its conferees, but they met by chanco nt tho Henshaw, retired to rooms behind tho closed doors and (or threo hours tho only Intrusion upon their privacy was by tho man who responded to tho electric call with delightful frequency, bearing the lubricant th'tt Is often wont to oil the wheels of harmony To disagreement was encountered that, under tho genial influences prevailing In three-linger doBcs, whb not easily surmount nblo except that over the representation to bo allowed South Omnha In the next county convention. Tho Molso crowd has success fully courted and won the South Omaha crowd. In fact tho South Omaha following is nearly the whole push of the MoIho con tingent, and tho latter was therefore bent on tho allowance of Boven delegates to each South Omaha ward, whereas they havo here tofore been allowed but four. Tho Howell committee, realizing tho hostility of South Omnha, did not deslro to help put In the hands of the South Omnha democracy u club with which It could beat out Its en emies' brains. Tho Howellttcs wero willing that South Omaha wurds should havo their representation raised to seven each If tho Omnha wards wero proportionately In creased. Tho Molso men wanted tho South Omnha representation Increased nnd tho question as to tho city wards left open. On this rock the conference split, nt least for tho tlmo being. Both committees reported back their Inability to reach an agreement nnd were continued. Tho conference com mlttco will hold another session next Tues day. Tho committees agreed, or rnthor did not disagree, on the points that there shall bo but ono convention, with Joint primaries that lists of delegates therefor shall bo filed with a rclcreo to bo mutually ngrecablo, and that tho resultant county convention shall select a. county committee to hold for two yenrs. Tho dates of convention nnd prl marles wero not l)xcd, and, In fact, owing to tho failure to reach an agreement on rep resentation, none of tbo disputed points wero Ilnnlly ndjusted. Tho sentiment of tho Joint committee was somewhat In fnvor of South Omaha as tho location of tho convention. Tho Howell committee ndjonrned to meet again Saturday next nnd the Molso commit too subject to tho call of Its chairman. Congressman Davo Mercer made a rattling speech last night at the rooms of the Patri otic league, In which ho went over nil of the current Issues nnd pointed out the In sincerity nnd Inconsistencies of tho modern democratic platform. His closing picture painted tbo encouraging conditions promls lng republican success In tho coming cam paign nnd declared that Nebraska will cer- tnlnly manifest Its choice to arrange Itself alongside of Iowa nnd South Dakota rather than with Colorado and South Carolina. It was Third ward night nt tho league rooms. C. F. Tuttlo. ns vlco president for that ward, presided and addresses were also mado by John L. Webster. A. H. Murdock of South Omaha nnd others.
