tor Lancaster county Is uitarnt hand and the
irlBuirles for tlio selection ot delegates will
xj held this week. Consequently , In the ex-
lubcranco of state lair &DCCUSS , It nil goes not
unmixed with politics , and behind the screen
and the crowd the manipulators of the pri-
nanes arc celling In their work while the
iv erase voter Is gaping at the multitude of
country cousins who , visiting tlio fair , blockade -
ado the streets and drive Uio lunch men wild
with commercial happiness. Thcro Is ngruat
leal of work being done this week in a pollt-
'citl way and In a quiet way , but it is
THK CAI.M lir.FOKU TIIK S1OI1JI ,
nnd it does not need a prophet or the son of
a prophet to foretell lively times at tlio pri-
miirUiS. There are a good many combina-
lens that will meet with energetic burglars
who w ill do their best to break them. In the
c'irst ward there nro three candidates for the
eglslaturo , and on top of them uohn U.
Wright expects to capture the delegation himself -
self , although he Is n Thiid ward niaii. The
First ward candidates aio O'Neill , Burnev ,
Oolan and File U'arden Nowberry , all with
good primary backing , and the work there
will be interesting. Mr. Uolan declares that
Wright shall not come over and carry olt tbe
ward and it looks as though it would be a
ditlkult job. The Second waid Is the peace
able oni'lm Uils contest and it looks as though
It would be conceded to Caldwell without
any crcat struggle. However , In the Third
ward , the statesmen live , and In that section
of the city tbeiif are three pronounced eandi-
dates , H. K. Moore for the state senate. 1. M.
Uaymondand John 15. Wright-for the house.
On Tuesday night theio was a little caucus
ot these aspiring , but moro or less conllicting
candidate * , and It is undcistood that an
agreement lias been reached whereby each
candidate takes one-thlid of the delegation ,
and as the ward has twenty-two delegates , it
will give them seven apiece and leave ono at
large. This slate , If not broken sooner or
later , will In ; the ono that the republicans In
the ward will be called upon to ratify. The
chances are now that the Fourth waid w ill be
TiiHPiaiiTUiO ONI : .
In this ward there are four pronounced
candidates , IX G , Courtnay , Missouri 1'acihc
Attorney Talbot , aud Messrs. Shamp and
Hall , the latter being the latest addition to
thu list. Tbero will be more than the simple
question of selecting a list of delegates for
one of tne candidates here , for it Is thought
that thu candidacy of Mr. Talbot 1 $ ono that
Involves Church Howe's stieiigth tor the
congressional delegation as well. Conitnay
in this ward is In for a square up and down
contest , and says that he will secure the
delegation or that he will bo left ;
thatlie is not In for a compromise and that
for him it will bo either one thing or the
other. The light In the wards for the dele
gations for repre-sentatlves c.utses the ques
tion of state and congressional delegations
to bo practically lost slsbt of , although in
reference to a question lired by the UKK rep
resentative one of the calmest of the con
stituents expressed the opinion that the
state delegation woulJ. bo for Henry T.
Clarke who , sxs ono of the prominent wnolo-
salers of Lincoln , many regarded as entitled
to moro consideration than other candidates.
However if I'aul hod not been punctuied
early In the game , theio would h.ivc been a
struggle to turn the delegation to him that
would have overshadowed everything else.
A CIIANCK Foil DKNIAL.
Tlio management of the insane hospital
nre so eager to deny allegations made
against that rotten Institution that the Bun
proposes to ask a few questions and see if
iheoutlit want to accept the hardihood of a
denial. ' 1 he music h.u not ceased in this
regard and the outlil is liable nny moment to
receive a blast that will make them shiver.
Tlm other day an Inmate named Oleson died
and was buried In the hospital grounds.
The question of his- death Is bet out in the re
port made to the board as dlarihea. Now
then , will thn hospital management
deny that Uleson was found in
the early morning dead in bed ?
And not in bed , either , but partly hanging
over tlm edge , with the bed and the dead cov
ered > vith corruption , so that the sight was
sickening to the attendants. A denial In this
matter is in order. Also when Udnes died ,
will the management deny that the body
was removed , to tlm Incompleted morgue and
laid on u plloof broken brick , with tno windows
dews open and the patients are and loose
gazlnu at the sight ? Such a sceue as this
may be , In the medical knowledge of. tlm
hospital management , good for cra/.y people ,
but there are people simple enough to doubt
It , alona with the other curatlvn methods
employed out at that prison.
