LINCOLN BUHEAU or Tire OMAHA. BEB , |
10J9 P SrunKT ,
LINCOLN , August 18 . I
During the past two weeks the chiet topic
of conversation on the streets of Lincoln has
been the coming state convention and the
probable outcome. Of course this has been
pure prognostication and has led to the sug
gestion of all sorts of combinations , sonio of
\vhlch , however , present peculiar co.mplicn-
lions. The fellows who have the railroad
Kchomcs in hand have been driving their
Stakes into everything that promises to
fortify their position. They have given their
Imagination full sway and consequently some
things have been done by them that look
father gau/iy. For instance , candidates have
been planted hero and there lust to throw
ilust. and to create the idea that they were
tnaklng n terrible fight against some particu
lar candidate , strong with the people , while
their real intentions were deeper down.
Hastings was sprung in Saline to cripple
Locso. Claroy captured the delegation in
Umt county and this railroad play was side
tracked. All these things nro talked over
n ml speculation naturally follows , and the
iiolitical mind is kept in a constant whirl.
No one is wise enough to oven pretend to
< i | Jinow what the probable outcome will
M be. Guesses only go. Some of them
MV sometimes look like knowledge , for
[ V they seem so tangible and possible. The city
\hronged \ to-day with politicians from all
flti parts of the state. They are looking for com
fortable quarters for what bids fnir to bo the
greatest political convention over held in the
i late , while some of the old war-horses have
been fixed for some thuo past. Graham , of
Gumlng , Vest of Douglas , Hill of Gage , Ein-
Ccl of Phelps , Honton of the great state of
Nebraska , Gropoy of Jefferson , Peters of
Uoone , Irvine of Uuffalo , Scott of York and
btccn of Sauudcrs have all taken rooms at
the capital.
Politicians and candidates say that the con
vention will bo exciting but not bitter. Can
didates especially talk In this way. Of course
they are all sanguine and ready for the fray ,
None of them can see any possible combina
tion that may be formed to knock them out.
Kut hope is the great factor In human nmbi-
Won and no one will see until brought face to
face with stern reality. Some of the boys
must bo left ,
fiv. PETITIONS THAT DOVETAIL.
. Iho Crete board of trade , John L. Tidball ,
II. S. Fuller , Gcorgo D. Stevens and S. L.
Andows , respectfully nsk that the state
board of transportation Indefinitely postpone
the order reducing freight tariffs , reciting
tliuji.tljo late action of the board can not but
prove detrimental to the best Interests of the
commonwealth , anil that railroad building
lias actually stopped because of the unfor
tunate order. The board of trade and four
business men of Crete who signed the re-
jnonstranco say that capitalists cannot bo in
duced to invest where their fullest scope of
money getting is handicapped , and the won-
ilnrful facilities the state now enjoys for
Irclght shipments will bo reduced because
Iho railroads cannot maintain reasonable net
earnings on the proposed basis of reduction ,
Mr , G. A. Whitford , of Arlington , under
data of August 10 , writes the board as fol
lows concerning the petition he sends in.
Hlcucd by forty-two citizens of his town and
Vicinity , endorsing the state board in the
order reducing freight rates :
"Dear Sirs : While circulating the enclosed
petition I had a few moments' talk with
every man who signed it ; hence I know I
but echo the sentiments of each one of them
when I urge you In the language of
tlu > petition to let no consideration induce you
to rescind the reduction on freight rates that
you have ordort'fl. Not a man has refused ta
rlgn it to whom I have presented U. It I had
the time I could got hundreds of signatures
to the petition.
ATrKXD TO IIUSINESS OK UESION.
Mr. H. M. Waring , clerk of the board of
trunsK ] > rtation , has a vary soft time of it.
The state pays him $1DOO per year to do the
clerical work of the office , and his instruc
tions arc to kcop the ofilco open from 0
o'clock In the morning until 4 in the after
noon , unless off on business connected with
the office in other parts of the stato. Mr.
Waring obeys the commands of the state to
perfection. Ho opens the office and
comes and goes when ho pleases.
Ho has been in his office two days during the
past two weeks , Citizens and members of
the state board call almost every day , knock
for admittance at the office , and find it
locked. Mr. Waring is off on a-plensuro trip
somewhere. But lie promptly returns every
quarter , draws his pay and meanders away.
This criticism is not confined to THE BEI :
representatives , but to members of the state
board , and tholr names will bo forthcoming
if desired. Mr. Wnnng is a very competent
man , but he fulls to attend to his business.

McDowell. The closet was vacant and an
open window told the story.
The sheriff thinks the train must have boon

McDowell threw himself from the window.
The train was in the sand plains , and the
