SOME PREDICTIONS THAT NEVER CAME TRUE Bryan Was o Hae Forced tho Democratic Conventloa to domi nate Tonne or to Have Walked Oet. The contest waging over the question of fusing between the democrats and pop ulista at their coming state conventions at Lincoln next week recalls the fact that a separation of the two parties that had been previously actlnK together was one of the main questions with which last year's populist convention at Grand Island wrestled, and while the report of the Den ver conference was rejected at that meet ing, the sentiment for cutting loose from the democrats was largely In predominance. A review of that feature of the convention contained In a letter by The Bee's staff correspondent under date of Grand Island, August K, 1903, Is so pertinent to the pres ent situation that it Is herewith reprinted, as follows: "During the preliminaries and proceedings of the populists convention here (1903) the talk generally centered on the prospects for the futura " "Is there anythlnK ahead for the peo ple's party?' Is the question nearly every delegate asked himself and his neighbor. 'Has It not sounded Its death knell through fusion? What does the constantly decreas ing attendance yenr after year, at populist conventions mean If not the ultimate ex tinction of the-party?" "In answer to these" Inquiries It de veloped that the Denver conference had been called to see If something could not be done to revivify the expiring party by artificial respiration. The confession of Vice Chairman Edmlsten was refreshing. Pledge of Denver Conference. " 'The Denver conference was called,' he cald, 'because the people's party organisa tion had been practically wiped out of existence. In Nebraska alone of all the states In the union was thero anything like an organization maintained. A new organization was absolutely necessary If the work was to go on, and It was the pur pose to effect this by the employment of one or more national organizers. The only way the two wings of the populist party and the other reformers whose co-operation was needed could be) uplted on a program was on a distinct pledge of Independent na tional action. The course of the party In each state and locality was to be left to the members there, so they might be free to support any ticket that held out promise of success, but In the national field no affiliation with any other party was to be tolerated.' "It was also brought out incidentally In the speech of M. F. Harrington that the two populist national committees had al ready agreed among themselves to call the next national nominating convention of the populists ahead of the conventions of the other two parties, so that the populist ticket should be first In the field next year. The candidates, too, are to be populist candidates that Is, they are not to be members of any other party, as haa been the case the last two presidential cam paigns. Towno the Bryan Candidate. Tt was In protest against the Denver program that Mr. Harrington suggested other possibilities. Whether his talk was Inspired by Mr. Bryan or not, he Intimated that there was no good reason why" Bryan should net hold the -whip hand In the next democratic convention, and that if he did not again become the nominee himself he would give the nomination to some good friend of his, 'like Charles A. Towne.' He dwelt repeatedly on the possibility of Towne heading the democratic ticket and Insisted that If Towne were the democratic standard-beare he wou'd receive the bulk of all the populist vote, no matter who was put up as the Independent, non-afflllat-Ing candidate. He gave the Impression most decidedly that Towne was Bryan's personal preference and that If the Bryan following found Itself outnumbered In the democratic convention It would join with the popullBts In nominating Towne as the third candidate. " 'If the moneybags of the east control the democratic convention and nominate a man like Gorman," exolalmed Mr. Harring ton, with emphasis, 'and Mr. Bryan does not walk-tut. I'll regret every Vote I ever cast for Bryan.' Populist le Debt to Bryan, " The objection the eastern democrats have to Bryan,' he continued, 'Is that he Is too much of a populist. I, for one, regret that he haa never come out explicitly on many of our distinctive populist Ideas, as the government ownership of railroads and of public utilities, for example, but he has never said that he was opposed to them. It Is said that he Is going to Europe to study social conditions over there, and It would not surprise me to find on his return, after Investigating the state of efficiency and management of the government owned railroads In the continental states, he will be ready to take a position on this question and I have no doubt that he will join with us In our demand for government owner ship.' "He asserted that Bryan had done more for the populists In assisting to elect pop ulist congressmen, senators and state offi cers than the populists had ever done 'for Bryan, and that they were not yet through drawing on him and his friends. ' We may charge up our defeats to fusion,' declared Harrington. but I'll tell you what Is the matter with our party. The trouble has been that the men we hav elected to office when they got out would neither work for ou candidates nor put up money to help them. "This was the sort of plea that procured the repudiation of the Denver manifesto, notwithstanding the presence there of Poynter. Edmlsten, Tibbies, DeFrance and others who had participated In the confer ence and subscribed to It. The sentiment of the anfl-fuslon crowd was best expressed by a wild-eyed delegate rom Valley, who said his name waa Clem Myers, when he shouted excitedly at the top of Mm voice, 'With fusion we have been a dog's tall and we will always be behind 1' " Jl'IiT EXOSKRATHS THIS OFFICERS Rebraaka City Policemen JeatlQed la Bbootlagr Jack Carr. NEBRASKA CITJ", Neb., Aug. S. (Spe cial.) I Jist night Coroner Karstens Impan eled a jury and held an Inquest over ti t remains of Chris Hartman, the man mur dered by Jack Carr last Monday evening. The Jury found that Hartman came to his death from gun shot wounds fired Into his body by Jack Carr, maliciously and with out provocation on the- part, of the said Hartman. The jury then held an In quest ever the remains of Jack Carr, who waa killed While resisting arrest, and after hearing the evidence brought In a verdict that he came to Oils death from pistol shots Hred by city pollremen and others while resisting arrest and discharging fire arms against the said officers, wounding Chief of Police Bchomover and several citizens, "and we, tbe jury, are satisfied that the said officers were justified and compelled to bring about the arrest of Carr by force of arms." The funeral of Chris lUrtmaa wu fetid at 16 o'clock this morning from the Ger man church and the Interment waa made In Wyuka cemetery. Efforts are being made to locate Carr's parents, who are said to reside In Illinois, but so far they have been unsuccessful. If the remains are not claimed they will bo sent to a medical college, as Carr had no money or property. KEBRAIKl WILLING TO COMPETE Breeders Do Not Wish C lasslKeatlon for State Only. LINCOLN, Aug. . (Special.) For sev eral years there has been a sefltlment that Nebraska breeders of live stock exhibiting at our state fairs were somewhat handi capped In competition with professional showmen who made a business of fitting herds to show at all the state fairs In what is known as a "state fair circuit," and it was urged that in the premium Hat classifications should be made espe cially for Nebraska breeders. In response to this demand. In the premium list for 1903 such classifications were made and liberal premiums offered for animals owned by Nebraska breeders. In this connection it was provided that a Nebraska breeder winning a first or second premium In com petition open to the world should not be eligible to compete for premiums provided especially for Nebraska breeders. The result was disappointing to those who advocated the plan. After one trinl the Nebraska breeders of horses, cattlo and swine at this annual meeting adopted resolutions asking that the Nebraska classi fication be stricken oul, which means that the Nebraska breeders and exhibitors of the improved breeds of live stock are not afraid, are not handicapped, but prefer to exhibit and compete for premiums In com petitions open to the world. Accordingly the classification for Nebraska breeders at the state fair was stricken ' out and does not appear In the premium list for 1904. In this connection It is Interesting to note that Iowa, which ranks among the first as a live stock state, has, In its state fair premium list for 1904, adopted a classi fication for Iowa breeders only, following, evidently, the plan adopted and then aban doned by the Nebraska state fair manage ment. It Is predicted that after one year's trial the plan will be rejected by Iowa breeders, as has been done by Nebraska breeders. Few persons realize the Im portance of the live stock Industry of the state. Among the states of the union Nebraska ranks fourth In the number and value of cattle and fourth In the number and value of swine. The Improved breeds are well represented by animal of superior merit and breeding and at the coming state fair, to be held August 29 to Septem ber 2, It will be found that Nebraska breeders will win their full share of premiums In open competition with breed ers from other states. FREMONT CHAlTAldl'A OPENS Attendance Eaceeda Expectatlom of the Management. FREMONT. Neb., Aug. 8.-(8peclal. The opening session of the Fremont Chau tauqua association waa held Monday even ing. The big tent, which seats over 8,000, was crowded. An excellent concert waa given by the ChlcaKO Lady Entertainers, a quartet whose harmonious volcea imme diately won their audience, closing with moving pictures. Yesterday afternoon Blahop Hart sell of the Methodist Episcopal church spoke on the color question. Tho plan of transporting the colored race to Africa, the bishop said, was ridiculous and Impossible. Social equality of the races was simply a "bugaboo" used for political effect All tho negro wanted 'waa a chanoe, and if he had the opportunity of making a living for himself an 4 family he waa sat isfied. The bishop gave figures showing that the black belts of the south were be coming more densely populated with ne groes, the whites leaving them, and this segregation of the races within the limits of this country, he thought, might be a possible solution of the question. This afternoon he spoke on "Naflon Building In South Africa." The address was largely reminiscent. In hia official work as a bishop he had met President Krueger, Cecil Rhodes, Lord Milner and others prominent In South African politics, and the strong as well as weak points In the careers and characters of these men were brought out by him. Last evening another crowd occupied all the space within tho tent. The entertain ment consisted of several numbers by the ladles' quartet and recitations from "Hiawatha," accompanied by music and moving pictures of the various scenes. To morrow occurs the joint political debate between Congressmen Bede of Minnesota and Wale of Iowa. The attendance Is larger than was expected and the manage ment Is trying to have a new section added to the tent, which would not hold the audi ences of either evening. Its seating capa city is over 3,000. FIGHT IN MOVERS' CAMP As Result Man mnd Woman May Re Cbara-ea with Horsestealing-. BEATRICE, Neb., Aug. 3 (Special.) Felix Ritchie, G. L.
