SUPREME JUDGES FAIL TO MAKE
A CHOICE.
LINDSAY STOCK IS BOOMING.
Judge Sedgwlck Still Favors Seymour.
Withdrawal of Judge Jackson Docs
Not Result In an Agreement Herd-
man Is Unsettled.
Lincoln , April 21. The withdrawal
of Judge Jackson 'from the clerkship
race has not settled the question of
who will bo the clerk of the supreme
court. The movement was to break
the deadlock , lint Sedgwlck still
stands pat for Seymour , ono of the
Lincoln candidates. Murncs Is bo-
llevod to be for State Chairman Lind
say , to whom both ho and Sedgwick
in a largo measure owe their elections
to the supreme bench. Lindsay is In
the city , and his contented air bears
out the statement that ho is still a
big factor in the race , but Seymour
lias seemingly cleared himself of the
charge that he was guilty of Indoscro-
tlon in connection with recent news *
paper utterances , and yesterday was
in high favor with the York judge.
Judge Sedgwick said yesterday that
the clerkship situation was still In
ho air. Ho was asitoa wbetiier tne
vlthdrawal of Jackson would make it
xjssiblo to unite on Lindsay , but gave
noncommittal answer. Asked
.vhethcr . the appointment would be
inouncoil at this sitting lie did not
oply directly , but intimated that there
> vas still some doubt as to the matter ,
hen he walked off to his hotel with
Victor Seymour.
The friends of Seymour have not
et given up and are predicting the
selection of their man , but it is undo-
ilable that Lindsay stock In the clerk
ship boom is quoted higher than ever
> eforo. Endorsements have boon
coming in to the judges at a rapid
ale , and Lindsay is last framing up
is a logical candidate.
The withdrawal of Jackson left W.
J. Hose legatee to some of his sup
) ort , and ho is held to have good
bailees to win out as a neutral caudl-
late should Sedgwick still stand out
: igalnst Lindsay.
Pending the selection of a new mane
o take charge of the otlieo Lee Herd-
man Is In an unsettled state. The
udges will make a great effort to get
ogether during this sitting so that
the announcement may bo made when
t closes , but should they fail Herd-
man will necessarily hold over his
term , which began May 1 , 1900.
