TI1UKSDAY , MAHCIl 21 , 1001.
April iHt it IH thought will bo the
day that will bo agteod upon for the
Icgislnturo to adjourn.
Sunators Tliurcton and Carter
have been appointed ( : oiiiminnionorH
of the World'ri Fair , to bo .hold at
St. LoHinin 1903 , by the pruHidunt.
Gov. Dietrich IH lo bcuotninundud
for hit ) special inuUHago to the legir-
lature , accompanied by a bill limit
ing the Hulary of ihc olurk of tliu
nuprcmo court to $1,500. It HOOIIH
lo hnvu bcun thu prauliuu of tli < >
clerk ( o appropriate all tliu fees of
thu ollioo to his salary and hlu ac-
NirilnntHauiountiiig to abotilf ! > 0,00 ( ) .
A similar bill wan voted down in
the soimto while iho governor WUH
nhHunt in WaHhington.
It iu claimed by HOIIIU that nhottld
the legiHlaturt ) adjourn without
olouting two United Stales nennlors
lhat Gov. Dietrich will appoint to
till the vacancy. We hope the gov
ernor will not do it. It has been a
long established rnlu of thu Htnatu
to reject any appointments thus
made , and Nebraska should be com
pelled to got along without repru-
seutalion iu the upper houuu until
another legislature can be ulectud ,
if they fail tooleut now.
There IH bill one remedy that ORU
be reuorled lo under Ihe present
national law governing Iho election
of United Slates senators to prevent
the disgraceful proueedirgs of the
Nebraska legislature and of other
stales where a deadlock has pre
vented an election. The remedy is
for each political party when in
ttato convention assembled lo nomi
nate for election their preferences
for the United States sonatu. Sub-
mil iho choice of the conventions lo
a vote of the people. This will
practically selllo Ihe' question at the
ballot box. The only thing the
legislature will have to do , in the
mailer will bo lo meet in joint scs >
nion on thu date provided by law
and ratify the vote of the people
Should the domocrzts have a ma
jority on joint ballot , Ihe democrat
iu candidates receiving iho highesl
vole on Ihoir lickel would bo eleol-
ed. Should Ihe republicans have a
majoiily on joint ballot the repub
lican candidates nominated PIU ! re
ouiving the largest votu would bo
elecled. It would bo absolutelj
fair to all parties Should the con
voulion nominate an objectionable
candidate the right ot petition given
opportunity to place a more prefer
able candidate on either tickat. Hy
adopting llns method there wouh
bo no more deadlocks and the op
i portunUy for buying their way Into

of Montana , would bu removed
The cry against corporation inrtu-
would also be IOKH ( ffoctivu.
Tbe Cltj Election.
The oily election is again upoi
us with all Iho entanglemenls thn
.is usually thrown into a local cam
paign. Two tickets have been put
in iho Hold. One by the republi
can party , the other by the fudiou-
istB , under the head of Citiz ns "
The republican caucus was held
Friday night , and the entire lickel
nominated. As is usual , there was
quite a contest over the choice for
mayor. An unfortunate thing ex
isted , thai was hard lo reconcile.
Ot Iho several catuhdalcH for mayor
only one could bo nominated. Not
withstanding that the successful
candidate received 55 of the 88
voles oasl on Iho bullet ha was de
clared the nominee , thu supporters
of thu defeated candidates were not
satisfied. Another feature of thu
proceedingfi thai wad very objeo-
tionablo to some in attend
ance , was thai by a vote of the
oauous none but republicans were
regarded an eligible lo vole in the
caucus. Because of this action ,
tbe dozun or possibly more , who
had been participating : u thu oau-
oiis touk oll'eucu , and hd slratigu as
it may Neem , found sympathizers
uuioug riomit of llio republicans who
were r.ol pleaHcd with the choice of
thu majority. What IH nurprisiug
IH thai anyone , whether republican
democrat , populist or prohibitionist -
ist , could take exceptions to a re
publican caucus rewinding the vote
lo republicans only. No political
party uottld uiHintaiu its individual
ity or maintain its principles and
do othurwiso. Who over heard of
a democratic caucus or a populiHl
oauous where llioy would have Hiib-
milled lo republicans pjirlioipating
Should nuoh a thing bo allowed by
any parly caucus , the aolion ol
siicn a caucus would ho binding on
no one. A democrat could not ex
peel lo bu bound by his party cau
cus nlion republicans dictated itn
platform and nomiiieor ; neither
would republioatiH bu bound when
dumooratH or ihosu of any olhur
political faith had by aiding the
minority defeated ihu will of the
majority. Thu primary last Friday
night WM uallud au a republican
oauous. 11 was organized as
republican cnuctia , and all who
nsHumbluil ihuro , whutlior ropubli-
oan.H democrats , populists or pro
hibitionists , kuow boforu they cauiu
that it was a republican caucus.
Evoryonu who participated in th
oauuus , by so doing , pledged him
self lo abide by Ihe will of the majority -
jority , and no one , so participating'
had , neither from any law that gov
erns political bodies or from
moral stand point , a right lo do
other than support Us nomincex.
Bui as a result of the dissatisfac
tion growing out of the proceod-
the democrats and fusionisls
311 the following day , issued a call
for a fusion caucus , under Ihe name
of "Citizens. " Not because repub
licans had restricted them from
voting , nor because they did not
think the republican nominee would
not make a most excellent mayor if
alected , but , for iho simple reason ,
that all of the nominees on the re
publican ticket , the candidate for
mayor excepted , are anti-saloon.
\Vlnlu it is true lhal thu nominees
are pledged to abide by the will of
Ihe majority vote on Ihe question
of saloon license , they were not the
class of men they wanled lo have
charge of the adminisiralion of Ihe
affairs of the city should license be
carry. There are a few in Broken
Bow , OH well as in every other com.
munity , lhat would prefer to 6ee
gambling run wide open , whiskey
to be unmolested , let it come from
what source it may , and its victims
not be molested iu their hilarious
state , dome prefer officers who
will wink at the open violation of
law or order.
'Ihe RKPunncAx has no apology
lo make for ihe nominees of Ihe re
publican parly. We believe ihcy
are men who have ihe besl interests
of the material growth and pro
gress of the city al heart , and the
experience and abilily lo promote
its interest UH far as the means at
their command will permit. We
believe they are law abiding and
strictly moral men , and will dm.
charge iheir duty faithfully in tu-
forcing law ind order.
Wo do not say the candidates on
Iho fusion lickel will not enforce
law and order. The two tickels
ftro before you. Most of you know
the men personally. The nominees
of thu fusion ticket are all 1cense
men , with one exception , and ho is
the nominee of iho republican cau
cus , and was endorsed afler several
allompts to get others to aocepl the
place. If the majority of Iho volera
believe ihe nominees of iho fusion
caucus will give iho cily a belter
government iu enforcing law , iu
preventing gambling and drunken
ness , in building up the malcrial in-
lereslsof Iho lowu , or give a more
economical or orderly government ,
it is vour privilege to vote for
them.
Upon the olher hnud , if you be
lieve Ihe gov-jrumenl of Iho uity
would be bolter m Iho hands of the
republican nominees , and that they
will not grant license unless the
majority so determines at thn polls ,
you are invited , regardless of
former political afliliations to work
and vote for Ihe men nomiualed al
lh republican oauoua.

held iu this city last baturday

offered to doing- away with fusion
was by Iluse Brown and Jesse

would bo continued by the state
convention the county should stay
in the same chaunel. But the
rest opposed further fusion and
passed resolutions endorsing' the
Omaha platform the initiative
and referendum , and a resolution
against fusion in county , state or

to support fusion nominees. It
