Hi friends considered the phi as as promlM-d him and whrn he was lumedi down there was a:.ry threats. Nov. if Judpe Sedg wick cu!l be tomlnated and elected to the i r-:;ie lnch there would be a vaearry on the commission which Ji$e librae, r.-u?b said. The oth er explanation was that the Elkhorn railroad was taking Interest in pol itics, with the desire to checkmate that Invisible personality, long su preme, in republican state politics, known as the B. and Ml It had been persistently asserted that Davidson waa the preferred B. & M. candidate and the rote showed his strength came from counties where the B. & M. in fluence waa strongest- On the other hand Dodge county is where the Elk horn road is predominant and if there is any republican politicians . who stand near Elkhorn councils It is Na tional Committeeman Schnieder, of Fremonh So when he swung the Dodge county .vote from Barnes to Sedgwick the significance of the move was not lost oa the experienced ob server. The union of the Barnes vote with that of Sedgwick proved irresistible. The nominal Douglas county candid ate. Judge Keysor was cut off from help in the very region naturally re lated to Omaha. On the fifth ballot It was plain that Sedgwick would win and that peculiar disease -known In political parlance as "getting intoithe band wajfcn" broke, out. . Furnas county led the,, break with a. transfer of 12 votes from Davidson to' Sedg wick instantly every" aspiring poli tician . was trying to stampede his county for the York county man. In Gage and Lancaster counties where the crop of political aspirants Li al ways a full one regardless of weather conditions there were violent quarrels between the. band wagon faction which wanted to throw the vote solid for Sedgwick and the others who were not so eager to maxe a record. In the end neither Lancaster nor Gage got much credit for Douglas county herself made the change which nom inated Sedgwick. The nomination of Ernst, of Lancaster, and Goold. of Cheyenne, for regents of the state university was marked by nothing ex cept the display of feeling against Lancaster county by Douglas. The real feature of the convention was yet to come the discussion of the parole of J. S. Bartley by Governor Savage. A little before the report of the com mittee on platform was presented the governor came in near the stage with a roll of manuscript and a nervous air. When the report was read many of the delegates had left the hall under the impression that nothing radical would be reported from the commit tee. But that committee had realiz ed the danger. It not only brought in a report condemning the deposit of public funds for private gains, oppos ing the blacklist and the boycott, but declared that: "The republicans of Nebraska dis cliam for the party any sympathy with custodians of public money found guilty of betrayal of. sacred trusts. Without Impugning the motives 'of the governor in any case, we deprecate any exercise of executive clemency tending to create the false impression that the republican party Is disposed to condone the unlawful embezzle ment of public funds under any cir cumstances, and we request the Im mediate recall of the parole granted to Joseph S. Bartley by the governor." There was an instantaneous hush in the convention hall when the last plank was read and the delegates re alized they faced a situation. It -was stated that Governor Savage desired to be heard and the convention eager ly listened to what be might have to say. The governor spoke with ear nestness and candor, yet it was per fectly clear he was not carrying the convention with him. He said in brief, that be had paroled Bartley because N 2 THE BEST HEN'S CLOTHING IN AMERICA AT A SAVING OF FULLY ONE-THIRD ON THE PRICES USUALLY CHARGED FOR INFERIOR GRADES. The H-. S. it Z3L.

He looked upon It as simply a business transaction, if the state could get back $200,000 or S300,'- 000 it would better do so. There was a ripple of applause at this statement of the "business proposition", which the governor brought out with em phasis, it was his strong point with a party which has made much of its claims to protection of the "business interests" but the applause lacked much of being unanimous. He went on to say. "If I am wrong blame me don't blame the republican party. I did not consult the party. It was a matter of my ' own judgment. I con sidered that Mr. Bartley had suffered all it was possible for him and his family, to suffer by Imprisonment and 1 thought if it was possible for him to suffer more or for those who had the money it would be by paying back the money. I did not ask Mr. Bart ley to give me the names of those who had the state's money I understood there are such persons because I knew the statute of limitations both to civil and criminal actions had run against these people during the four years Mr. Bartley had been in prison. Mr. Bartley was the only man who could go to these men and demand of them the money with prospect of get ting it. I did not ask Mr. Bartley to pay back what was lost in banks, but a reasonable part of what was outside the banks." "How much did you expect to get back from Bartley?" demanded Re- j presentative Marshall, of that county. "About $325,000 a reasonable part of it," replied Gov. Savage. "Why did you go back on the record of the republican party?" shouted del egate Martin, of Merrick county. "I have not gone back on the record of the republican party," replied the governor. Delegate Martin continued to speak in a loud, defiant voice telling the governor that he was not above the republican party. Efforts were made to pull him down to his seat. There was confusion and hisses. Courtney, of Lancaster, moved to adopt the platform with exception of the part relating to Bartley. Reavis, of Richardson, moved to adopt it as a whole. . It was plain that the convention was divided in' opinion. ' There waa a strong element that had corns ; up to the convention" with the backing of local indignation against the Bart ley parole. . On the other hand the appearance of the governor, his plea for his own action, the sympathy ex cited in his behalf by harsh criticism from the floor all tended to make the result of the vote uncertain. The convention was in a dilemma from which it would gladly escape. At this juncture Mr. Rosewater ad vanced up the aisle, was recognized by Chairman Norval, and called to the platform. "There are some things this convention needs to know. ' In the first place the committee on plat form was unanimous for this plank as reported. Personally I was not . in favor of the clause asking for the mmediate return of Bartley, but as that was the sentiment of the major ity I ageed tq it. .The, question-is be fore you. You can't dodge it. If you vote this plank out of the plat- orm the republican party will be beaten and disorganized at the coming election.". There was many more el oquent and impassionate speeches made on the question, but this bold Dresentation of that matter as a question of defeat or victory settled whatever doubt there may have been as to the convention's action. Judge Paul Gessen, of Otoe, receiv ed applause by saying he was not in favor of one law for the rich man and one for the poor man. If it was right to let Bartley buy his freedom with $200,000 it was right to let any horse tiiief buy his way out by restoring the value of the horse. For some time the burly figure of Chas. O. Whedon, Bartley s attorney, had been seen standing in. the Lancaster delegation asking recognition. He was called to the platform. He began by calling the convention "gentlemen of the jury," but must have realized that it was a very difficult and unruly . jury. He made his plea, as strong a plea as an attorney could make for his client under the circumstances. He remind ed the convention that Bartley was a good enough republican in 1892 tcvbe nominated for state treasurer. He had entered the office upon the threshold of the great panic of 1893. He come in finding the state deposits used as a fund to sustain banks all over the state. It was impossible to change the syste mwithout havoc. When he came to go out of office his successor, a pop ulist, in defiance of all established precedents had refused to accept any thing but cash in settlement. Bart ley had turned over $1,042,000 in cash when he went out. He told his sue cesser, "I can't pay you all now, but more "Yes, he paid $20,000 the day he was arrested," shouted . ex-Sheriff John Trompen from the Lancaster delegation. But all his efforts did no good. The opposition were determin ed to use Bartley for political capital. A leading populist had told Bartley at that time, "If you pay back every thing to a single dollar we will arrest you. There's politics in this." "Do you call a man who does these things no better than a horse thief?" de ... ;- ;' ' - - :, i i weakens the body and de-. grades the mind.

If this attempt to punish Mr. Bryan and annihilate his friends is persisted in democratic suc cess will be impossible in 1904, Im probable in 1908, and then will come the triumph of loyalty. To this Mr. Gorman responded good- naturedly that there will be no party defection and no party split.

If one were to ask which motive swayed the convention fear of polit ical defeat or genuine . opposition to Bartley's parole : - he would answer botn." In a crowd or politicians pol itical preservation is the first law, yet it was noticeable that the strongest applause of the debate followed Paul Gessen's declaration that he . did not believe in one law for the rich man and another for the poor man. The convention marked to the ob servant mind several "changes in the situation within the republican party. Among them the rise, of the Elkhorn railroad as a political factor, the ov erthrow of the Lancaster county su premacy and ' the substitution of Northern Nebraska dominance in- the party councils with Edward Rosewater as the real party leader and manager.

KEEP.YOUR BL000 CLEAI1 Eastern Democrats. The "re-organizers" do not have it all their own way even down in Wall street. There are democrats there who will never support a republican-democratic party merely for the sake of the offices. The following conversation was reported in an eastern paper be tween Gorman and Norman B. Mack, the national, committeeman from the state of New York. It is the closing of a long and heated argument, The two were at-dinner at the Sar atoga Club. Mr. Mack, was first heard to assert his loyalty to Mr. William J. Bryan. , Senator Gorman, it Is said, shook his . head. Then New York's national' committeeman said: '.'Democratic gospel cannot be made off-hand by. men who at the best have been half hearted in their party loy alty during the last" two national cam paigns. The Chicago and Kansas City platforms will stand and they can not be displaced until a new platform is adopted by the , democrats of this country." , "There has been a period of demo cratic mistakes," the Maryland ex-sen ator Is declared to have said. "Those mistakes have been recognized. We are now looking for new moorings. A return is being made to the safe an chorage held by the party - When . it Editor Independent: If you will per mit me I will briefly state some of the reasons why the members of tne peo ple's independent party In this state should be active in holding, their county conventions and arranging for full delegations to attend the state convention to be held at Lincoln, September 17. First, we should be active because we believe in the principles as advo cated by our party as firmly as at any time in the past, and even more so when we study the actions of the national and state administrations. The nolicies adopted by both at home and abroad has attracted the at tention of others wrho are looking on with an enviable interest, and cause them to give out " interviews condemning the course adopted by our national head, signifying the adopted plan of the powers that be. The prin ciples of the forefathers, wherein they sought to found a new govern ment upon sound principles guaran teeing equal rights, with equal op portunities to follow a chosen vocation with some degree of- certainity that, legitimate enterprises conducted In ah economical manner' would yield re ward that would bring happiness and comfort to the homes and our com monwealth.' But there seems to have been a great change come over those that are in control, when compared with the founders of t! government. The people's part is in favor of a government conducted along the lines of that for which our forefathers ware willing to offer for its defense their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor. Principles fought for then were of no greater consequence to the citizenship of that trying period than principles that are pressing themselves for our careful consideration at this time. therefore no true friend of reform can falter but it is a test of the genuine ness of the faith in populism. As the time approaches for holding the state convention" the old time en thusiasm revives and the reform forces will enter this political contest with as much of a determination to sweep the state as ever they did. And will if we are to judge of the outcome from what we see in the actions of the re publican party while at Lincoln in convention. They lost sight of the importance and interest that a politi cal convention usually takes in order to bring about victory. The delegates were quarreling with each other before they reached the capital city, as to whether the ex- treasurer Bartley should remain on parole and shortly to be freed from the strong arm of the law, which has held him in the confines of the penitent iary for the past four years. It was not that they did not want Bartley re leased, but the schemers and politic ians fear the decision of the people on this question at the polls. The governor who had released him from the penitentiary felt the sting of the convention in passing the resolu tions requesting the return of Bart ley to the penitentiary. The republi can governor offered as his excuse for releasing him that Bartley had prom ised to make good the amount embez zled, except the amount in banks which failed. But the governor now says nothing has been done in this respect. Will Governor Savage tell the people of this state what prospects there was for having this money refunded when Bartley was released. Will he also state whether he would have returned him to the penitentiary if the convention had not passed the resolutions it did. Governor Sav age should have taken the tax payers of the state who have been robbed by Bartley in his confidence and made a plain specific declaration to Bartley and those who seem to be so closely allied with him, that if they would refund the money then he would be released, but that he would not re lease convicts on a promise to do bet ter, where the crime is so great as that of Bartley's. If Mr. Bartley wants his freedom and desires to have the governor ex tend to him his . clemency then let Mr. Bartley make a full confession of how the people's money was squander ed, and give them some idea how they may expect its return. Until that time Mr. Bartley should be returned to the penitentiary and not given the pleas ant duty of looking after the flowers and having a private room In the hos pital, but consigned to hard labor dur ing the day and escorted to a prison cell at night, as is intended by the law and the order of the court that sent him there. If the republican party want to make Mr. Bartley the issue in this campaign, well and good, the fusion forces are ready to meet them, in fact the republicans cannot excuse this is sue. They have Only made this play for political effect, and when the cam paign is on Bartley will have the same influences at his command that were able to secure his release before, and Governor Savage's feelings will by that time have been able partially to re cover and the constant effort that has been going on since Bartley was sen tenced will be again set In motion. It certainly . is a plain case, to every, thjnking man that Bartley does not intend to pay the state any part or the half million he has taken, but will be released at first opportunity when the republican party thinks it can have any hope of success at the polls. They will disregard the law and . the wish and the will of the people will not be consulted. 1 : . It is true a lot of the republican leaders have a part of this money and they will help to stay the hand of justice. That we are to elect a mem ber of the supreme court at this elec tion makes "it important that the re form forces exercise great care In the selection of the same and then unite on one candidate that commands the respect of all and see to It that he Is elected. In order to do this it Is necessary that each and every citizen who favors the punishment of crime and reward ing of merit, attend the primaries, the county conventions and the state con vention and assist In doing their full part, The various county conventions are requested to select in addition to a full set of delegates a proxy for each delegate with an understanding that he is to act as a proxy to each dele gate and see to it v-t a full repres entation is at. the state convention, which demands the assistance of our best men. As to the selection of the county tickets I cannot urge too strongly the necessity of harmony and wise selections for candidates. With this done you strengthen the state ticket as well . ' There is as -good a prospect for car rying the state this fall as at any time in the -past. The senatorial fight of last winter is still fresh in the minds of the people. With several hundred thousand' dol lars spent in fighting over candidates, one '. croporation arrayed against an other and the tax payers foot the bill. The result of the senatorial fight ended in the selection of two national bankers, one representing one railroad system and the other to represent the opposite. ... ; Thus the corporations have com plete control of the republican party, manipulate the conventions, name its United States senators and dictate candidates, and the people have but little to say In the matter. At this time a united effort should be mi--res,'rejeu41wn of puiis.i iiriif; iw cuftuuse una conai tlon of things by selecting- men "for offices who are not (Uhder-the control of such influenees.That men when elec ted are not able to carry out their indi vidual Ideas In the performing of of ficial duties, but are subjected to the powers that dictated their nomina tions and election.
