BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ri T'TrjTnn ' : INAUGURATION A "BLOW-OUT. " DEMOCRATS PLAN RED-FIRE INAUGURATION - RATION OP SHALLENBERGER. JANUARY SEVENTH , THE DATE Csmil Public Reception at The State House on That Evening and Banquel Per She Faithful The Pollow- log Nighl. Lincoln , Dec. 8 : Tli2 Demo crats arecvidentlyunable lo take warning from the admonitions i > f holy writ. They'arc about to repeal the Belshar.j'.ir feast in ihc functions attendant upon the inauguration of their occasional governor , and it will not be sur prising if the parallel is carried < mt even lo the extent of the * 'wriling ' on the wall. ' It is only so semi-jccasionally tliat tlie Democr.its have _ pppor- 1unit.'o . inaugurate a governor in Nebraska that they intend to jeizc upon the forth-coming ( ven * t'- > make it a red-lire ai.d red lett T day i'l the annals of Democracy. The inauguration is planned to really last two days cud , in genuine western parlance is to be a " .ligh cl IPS blow-out. " The arrange uints in general vill be unler the direction of Mr. Shallenberger's new adjutant general ? Mr. Hartigan , the Democratic committee , and local Democrats of Lincoln and the state at large It is intended as * f far as possible , to give the * * 4 r inauguration a military aspect , aid it is probable that t'hc com pany of the stale guard from Mr. Shallenbcrger's home at Alma will attend as guard of honor. At least it is the desire of promi- rent Democrats that this ar rangement will be made , and it understood lhat Mr. Shallen- Lerger is pleased vith the idea and it will probably be carried out Whether there will be ai parade is not yet definitely de cided , but the inauguration will take place at neon on January 7th , followed by the usual public reception at the state house on tin evening of lhat day. On the following evening , Friday , the real essence of Democratic o l-fellowship is to flow in the channel of a purely Democratic banquet yiven at Lincoln that night. This gathering will bs for the failhful only , and the feast of reason and How of soul that \\ill attend it can onlbe im agined by one who has befoie scon the Democratic hosts gather al the political banquet board after long years of thirst and hunger in the dcsett of political de eut. It is understood thai these proposals have the expres sed approval of the incoming governor , aud that his personal and political associates arc en gaged in the necebsary arrange- incuts to carrv it lo success. THE SENATE ORGANIZATION. Republican Presiding Officer But Democrats - crats Control. Lincoln , Dec. 0. The Demo cratic parly has the same over whelming majority in the next session of the Nebraska senate as it has in the house. Owing to the smaller membership of the bed } ' , perhapsthere has been less turmoil over the senate organi sation and less publicity than has attended the scrap for house positions. On the other hand , Ihiscoudilion of gum-shoe quie tude may result from the fact that the interests "intcresled" already have assurances lhal they have the organization nail ed down in a safe place. While Republican Lieu tenant-Governor Ilopcwell is theorelically the pre siding officer of ihc senate , that body still controls its own affairs through the election of a presi dent and the selection of ils own committees. Some have pre dicted that the corporations , if th.'y desire to rule , would prefer lo see Krink Ransom , of Cmaha , attorney for the South Omaha stockyards , the Pullman com pany and other large corpora tions , made president of the senate , while others , with equal , turcsight assert thai Ransom will be needed on tie lloor and that hu will , in consequence , not be au applicant tor this dis tinguished olliw.

A. \V.il.-uriii , the Osceola editor and secretary of the Pop btatc commute , c.m be Isecrctaty of the senate if he so ( desireb. llj was one of the in dividuals who helped Tom Allen railroad the l\pu'.ist electors into the Bryan camp v\hero their votes \\cre counted for Bryan electors , and his reward will be the secretaryship of the senate , if he desires it. C. B. Manual , of St. Paul , the Populist chair man , Las already received his reward for hs : share of the same event , by being appointed super intendent of the boys' industrial , school at Keamcy , These men arc being taken care of religi ously and it is au open secret that Mr. Walworth can have 'this ' senate job as a re ware for , hit ) labors , if he so desires. In the event he does not want it , it will no doubt be made a consola tion prize for Henry Richmond , should the latter fail to land a ? chief clerk of the house. FORCED TO""MAKE GOOD. " New tlovcrnor Will Re Held Respon sible l-'nr Assessment of Itailuins. On the State Board of Kquuli- xation and assessment for the coming year , 1)0 ) ( ) , there will be four Republican state officers and Governor Shallenberger. This board place the valuation on the railways of Nebraska for the purposes of taxation. It would seem that with "four to one" the new governor woulu be relieved of the responsibility for his ? pre election promises to "raise the taxes of the railways and reduce the taxes of the farmers , " but such will not be the case , and Governor Shallenberger will be forced to take full responsibility in the matter of raising the taxes of his friends and uupporlers , the the railroads of Nebraska. Two of the stale officers holding- mem bership on the board have an nounced their policy in tne next assessment of the railroads. They will state to the new gover nor that they will vole with him for any motion he offers before the board raising the railway valuations in the state , thus placing the responsibility of increased valuation on the gover nor and in a way that he cannot avoid ordodge it. It will then be up to him to "make good" with his promises to the people at the expense of his corporation supporters , and the lime alone will tell where the people will land in the contest. GUARANTEE OF UANK DEPOSITS. Favorite Campaign Issue Already .Making Trouble In the Parly. Like a ghost that wont 'down' the guarantee of bank deposits , lately a favorite issue with the Democracy of the state for elec tion purposes , rises up to add to the troubles of a successful par ty already burdened with "prom ises" which often read "two ways. " The conservative and and thinking clement of the par ty has announced its stand against - gainst any tinkering with the "guarantee" issue in the legisla ture this winter or at least be yond the enactment of a "volun tary" and otherwise harmless measure , while the radicals in sist on going the "whole hog" and creating a statute that will outdo the Oklahoma law for so cialistic scope and general un sound ness. Owing to this great divergence of opinion some well informed Democratic statcsmcnjuc predict ing that the whclo subject will bo referred to Governor Shallcn- bnryer and Dr. Hall of Lincoln , to produce and offer a bill ou , /hich ihc Democratic clans can stand in peace and harmony. As both of these gentlemen in times past , before it became a is-uc to get into office on , were radically opposed to the " uaraniee" ihc- vry , it will now be interesting lo watch the developments < . ! ant - rurt to "save the partv" lu-iii a l > r.tiicdinent created solely lor el ciion purposes State Treasurer's Repurf.

Majors In Lincoln. Col. Thomas J. Majors of Peru a vetc.ran legislator of Nebraska , was in the Capital City during the pasl weelr. Col. Majors has { igatu been'chosen as a senator by the people of his district and will be a familiar figure in the coming session When asked what lesgislation of importance he expected to present and push in the coming session the colonel admitted that the pros pect for Republican influence on the senate was quite remote , "I expect to be pretty lonesome this winter , " said he , "and about all we republicans can do is to watch the performance and note the passing event. " There being only the unlucky number of " 13" Republicans in the entire body the colonel's view is very proba bly a photograph of exact condi tions. Tuberculosis Report.
