LINCOLN, Auk. . -(Special.) If the

ficiently strong to control the populist
convention to be held here August 10, W.
V. Allei: of Madison will be the nominee
for governor, W. II. Thompson of Grand
Island till nomlr.ee for attorney general;
and John N. Lyman ol Hastings, a one
time republican, will be the nominee for
late treasurer. Thle Information wai
given out by an inUmtta of the populist
vice presidential nominee, and It la to ac
compllih this that this element of tlio
party will, bend Its every energy.
The remainder of the ticket la to be
composed of out and out populists. Tlfose
who are promulgating this ticket are not
In favor of fua'oir- because they know the
demvrata would never consent to do
away with, Parker electors, but they be-
' llev.i L-'O democrats will endorse the state
t,T ticket a.id thus fuslou will endure with-
out hing cah!d such. 60 far as known
. none of the candidates have been con
uiultel, but It Is supposed that each would
Vioceyt.
Yrhe report that Presidential Candidate
iiitson Is to attend the convention here
toNvjioop up the populist against fusion
Is denied by his. sponsors, who say he will
talk o national Issues only and will not
urge thepopullsta not to fuse. He Is ex
pected to "take a few shots at Mr. Bryan,
but tin pop1' leado.s say he will do It In
such a nloe wiry that Mr. Bryan even won't
know that he has been roasted.
" The annoucement'of the selection of Mr.
- Allen as the standard bearer of the Tib
bies element haa not caused any abate
ment In the energy of Mr Berge in going
after the nomination and 'neither has It
occasioned much concern In the Ilolcomb
ranks, though a number of pop leaders
say he cannot be nominated.

nOW THEY FUSED LAST YEAR
Promises Then Made to Get the Populists in
Line "Just Once More."
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' "

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

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.

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.

on high ground, and which will be ac
cessible to all citizens at any time. The
present Riverside park, while a place of
great natural beauty, is Insalubrious and

scriptions and will be given to the city,
the mayor donating bis official salary for
this object.
