HE TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. OMAHA , THURSDAY MOKNlfSfG , JULY 23 , 1801. NUMBEll 35. j w It Creates a Profound Somation in State JV Political Oiro'oa , t SHALL REPUBLICANS NAME A GOVERNOR. Mr.VnlNon TcllH AVIiy Ho llciiolicil HlH t colHlou and Prominent I'OlHlulllllH DlHCIIhH tllO \VlHltolll Ol' It. The political atmosphere of Nebraska Is ntralifTilroakcd with rod , whlto and blue and the politicians are hurrying to and fro with nnxlotyjmintcd all over Iholr faces. The cause of the squall was the news from Nebraska yity printed in Tun BIH : to ttio effect that Hon. John C. Watson , chalrmxti of the republican state central com- unlit/ ? , had given It out point blank that n gubernatorial election should bo held this full. Tliff announcement created u decided son- nalion In political circles hero In Omaha and lettprs and telegrams began ll.vinif ubout the Mtnto in a very lively manner. Mr Watson cnmo up from his homo yester day forenoon and was seen at the Murray by u representative of Tin : Bii : : . "Yes , I bollevo that wo should elect a gov ernor this fall , " said Mr. Watson. "I have received n stack of letters from prominent republicans throughout the state asking mete to call the attention of the stale central com mittee to this matter. I first decided to consult with prominent lawyers upon the legal status of the situa- llon. This I have done and I am. fullv convinced now lhat the election of governor should bo held this fall. The law Biiysjhnt the governor shall bo elected at u regular election , and this will ceitainly bo a regular election. " | i "Will you cull the central committee to- K gethur .soot ; to decide upon Hit ) matter ! " "I have asked for the opinion of thu attor ney general regarding the situation. When V Ib/itls piven , and I think It will bo very soon , f tlinii I shall In all probability call the coni- mfuou together. 1 think the opinion of the attorney general will bo that the election of governor must bo held , out that remains lo hi ! seen. " "In case governor Thayer should refuse to convene the legislature for the purpose of counting tlio'votcs and declaring an election , what could bo done' " "O. the supreme court could simply declare ati election from the returns furnished Iho . Jf-Totno of state. The refusal of Governor % 'Th iyor to cull u special session to count the votes would not necessarily block the ma- .chincry of the state very long. " "Could the legislature meet of its own ac- coiyl or in any way , excepting by call of the governor , to count the votes and declare an election ! " "No. There is no legal way by which a special session could bo i ailed but by the governor or some ono acting in that capacity. 1 do not believe that anything of that sort jXiiild bo necessary even if Governor Thuyer 'should refuse to call the special session. " "Was this mailer of oloeliug a governor tills fall talked of at the recent mooting of .tho stale central committee ! " " "S'o. It was not mentioned so far as I can recollect. " "How did It happen to bo sprung so sud denly i" "Well , slnco the last mooting of the cen tral commlttou I have received Ihoso loiters ot which I told you. Most of tlio gentlemen , wlio wrote mo about the matter seemed to bo .surprised that the central committee bad not tnlten up the question of electing n governor tbls fall nt the last meeting. They urged mo to civo the matter special atten tion , and I have done so. I have asked the opinions of Judge Luuo. Judge Cobb , Judge Pound , Judge Chapman and otners in addi tion to lhat of Iho attorney general. Those who huvo furnished me with their views are nearly alt of the opinion that the election should bo hold this fall. " "lias the probable attiludo of the alliance upon this question hud anything to do with bringing it forward ? " "Not at all. It bus como Just us I have ex plained to you. " "Do you look upon it as u boom for Llou- _ tenant ( Jovornor Millers i" > v "O , no. Ills simply the candid opinions of TKMO of the leaders in the republican party , nmVas chairman of Iho state central' commit tee I have simply done my duty in trying to nrilvo at a correct conclusion through thu able assistance of some of the best attorneys fn llio slate. " , ' "In case the committee decides to proceed with tbo call for a gubernatorial nomination , whom do you suppose will bo the choice of the convention ( ' ' " 1 should think the thrco most likely men would bo Thuyer , Kichurds and Majors , " " * "You uo'l moan to say that ycui think the thrco men you mentioned would bo first , second end and third choice before the convention In the order named , do you ! " "You may think ns you like about that. 1 nm nol booming anybody , but simply doine my duty us chairman of the state central committee. " , Tlio Suiroino Court Did It. "The situation is Just this , " said Colonel K. D. Webster of Stratton , wl.o was ' seen at Iho Paxlon hotel. "Tho republicans of Nebraska are dis gusted with Iho Illogical decision of the supreme court of this state , by which u man 1ms been permitted to fill the gubernatorial chair. Governor Thayer has no moro lo ml right , to act as governor of Nebraska than ox-Governor Nunco , ex-Governor Ftirnas or any other man who has once been governor. In fact ho has no moro right to the olllco than I or any other citizen , lion. Thomas Majors is the man who should have taken the guber natorial chair whan Mr , Boyd was declared Ineligible and the people of Nebraska Unow It. " "Do you think the alliance party will nom inate u man for governor this fall ! " "Yoi , I do. And If thu republicans fall to do .so the alliance candidate will become gov ernor , just as hiiru as the sun shines. " "Bui GovornorThayor might refuse to call the legislature togoihor and how could tney declarenu election ! " "Why , the legislature would simply got . .Jogolhe'r. The alliance men nro up lo stinff. "ir they succeed lu electing u gov ernor , don't you forgot It they will got the legislature togelhor and count thu ballots. Thu republican party should go Intojho lluht with Hon. Thomas Majors at the head and ho will bo elected. " "How about the democrats ! " ' 'Unless the supreme court of the United States should decide In favor of Mr. Boyd before the fall election , the democratic party would bo obliged to stnil bacn and look at the fun. To put up another man when they claim that Mr , Boyd Is the rightful governor would be ultotlu and absurd. " Questions IIH Hon. W. d. Council said : "I have not In vestigated the matter so as to bo able to give nn unqualified opinion upon It or ontj even which is quite satisfac tory to myself. Hut , from n hasty examination of the provisions of the constitution , I feel quito certain that iio legal election for governor can bo held this fall. Thcso provisions scorn to bo very plain and , ns 1 view thorn , conclusive. Kvon U thcro bo n statute thu provisions of which would Room to authorl/.e the election of governor at the coming election , if those provisions are In conlllct with the constitution , they would have no force or effect. ' It- is expressly declared In the constitution that the tir > t elov'tlon for governor shall bo hold In ISTit and each BUCucodlng election shall ho hold at the sumo relative time In cacti oen year thereafter. As I view It , this provision of the constitu tion is mandatory. The other provisions of the constitution relating to the oftlco oi governor clearly contemplate that that oftlcor , uftor hU election , hold his ortico not only for the term ot wo years after hU election , but until his successor is elected and qualified. No limit Is placed upon Urn provision and it follows thai a duly elected gov ernor may hold bU otllco lu the event of a succesior not being elected for the full two terms. "Ju tuo event of a vacancy In tlio oQlco of governor , It Is provided that the place shall bo filled by the lieutenant governor ; If not by Iho lieutenant governor then by the presi dent of the senate and If ho bo Incapable of performing the duties of governor the same shall devolve upon tbo speaker Of the house of representatives. This proves In relating to occupancy in the ofllco of governor seems to mo to bo In harmony with the provision that authorize * n duly elected governor to hold his ofllco until his successor Is elected and qualified. In cither c.ise , notwithstanding the fact that the vacancy occurs prior to a general state election ur'thnt no legal election of u successor ser has taken place , the official authorized to fill the position of governor wonlu hold the office until an election authorised by the constitu tion could bo held. "From hasty examination of the statutes , I fall to find any provision in conllict with the provisions of the constitu tion. It Is provided by iho btatuto that through failure to elccc at a proper election , any olllco shall bo de clared vacant ; but , by the express terms of the statute , this applies only to any ofllco when there Is no incumbent to con tinue in ofllco until his successor is elected. The authority given to the slate board of canvassers to canvass the votes at any special election , must apply only to such special elections to 1111 any ox'istlng vacancy as nro authorized by the constitu tion. " Doi'mi't Aurco witli Mr. "Watson. County Attorney Mahoney s lid : "I can not ngreo with Mr. Wat-sou that a governor may DO elected this fall , and I do not under stand how ho can arrive at ntiy such conclu sion. The supreme court , In its decision In ousting Governor Uoyd from oflico , de clares that section ,17 of chapter 10 Is the law that must govern the case. Hut section 17 has no relation to what is ordina rily known as n vacancy in onico. The supreme premo court In that decision did not go upon the theory that there Is a vacancy. Had It done so the constitution provides a plain and adequate method for tilling such vuc.-.ncy. This decision , until reversed bv the supreme court of the United States , will nave to bo accepted as the law of the state of Nebraska , "Section 1 of article > of the constitution provides that the governor shall bo elected In each even year and ttiero is nowhere , cither in the Constitution or in the statutes of the state , n provision for electing a governor at any other time. If the constitution is to bo so strictly construed as to render Mr. Boyd inolligible , suro'y ' it would bo a strange anomaly to say that It may so liberally bo con strued as to authorize the people to hold an election for the olllco of governor nt a time other than that provided by the constitution. 1 f the people nriy hold nn "election for a gov ernor in an odd numbered year then they may hold such an election In any other month ns well as in November. They may , In other words , entirely disregard the constitution. It would amount to saying that they may violate not only the letter , but the spirit of the constitution , as well , as to the time of holding nn election , but must comply with strictness respecting the quali fications of the person they may elect. "Section 4 of the same article of the con stitution provides for counting the vote of the election by the legislature , bv * there is to bo no session of the legislature u < . IlbOl unless one should bo specialty called , and it is not nt all likely that Mr. Thayer would call a ses sion for the purpose of counting himself out of olllco. If there had been a vacancy in the o01ce of governor It should bo filled by the lieutenant Kovernor ns provided in section 1(5 ( of article 5 of the constitution , but \ho \ supreme court has gone upon the theory that section 1(1 ( has no application to the case of Mr. Thaycr's incumbency ; in other words , that there is no such a vacancy ns the constitution contem plates. Section 'JO of article : i of the const- ! tion provides that the legislature shall pro vide bv gcncr.il law for the filling of vacancy in ofllco according to the constlttutlnn. when no provision Is made for that parposo by the constitution. " ' "Section 20 of article 5 provides for the illlinc of vacancies in the various executive ofllces of the state except governor and judi cial officers. Section 'Jl of article ( i of the constitution provides for filling vacancies in Judicial ofllces , and section 10i ; of chapter " 0 contains n general legisla tion of the state respecting the filling of vacancies not otherwise provided for by the constitution , out no wlicro is there cither n provision or n suggestion of authority for filling a vacancy for the olllco of governor except according to sections 10 and 18 of article 5 of th' < constitution , or the electing of a governor at any other time than in Novem ber of an oven numbered year. The idea that the governor could bo elected this year probably comes from the circumstance ttiut in vacancies in the judiciary , the constitu tion provides that a successor shall bo eloctel for the unexplrcd term at the llrst general election that , occurs more than thirty days after the vacancy shall b.ivo happened , and from the provision in section 10.1 of chapter 12(1 ( of the com piled statutes to the effect that appointments under the provision of this chapter shall ho In writing and continue until the next elec tion , at which the vacancy can ho lilted , and until a successor is elected and qualified , hut it will bo seen that neither of the above pro visions can apply to the case of irovornor. The constitutional provision Is expressly lim ited to members of tlio Judiciary , and the statutory provision Is expressly limited to nfllcos which may bo filled by appointments , nud no ono will pretent that the governor is either a part of the judiciary , or may hold his otllco by appointment. "It would no doubt bo very convenient for our republican friends in the event of the supreme premo court reversing tno decision of our state supreme court to have another man than Governor Thayer elected and holding the oftlco of governor baforo the mandate of the United States supreme court is recol.t i. Ibis would raise a new cori icatlon of af fairs and furnish the basis lor another pro- veodlng In our state supreme court to keep Governor Boyd out of olllco. "I do not think , however , that either the republican party or the peoples' party will show such a complete disregard for the con stitution of the state as to attempt lo elect a governor at u tlmo when thuv are not author- bed , oil nor by the constitution or the laws of thu state to do so. "Should , however , anv such revolutionary attempt bo indulged In , they will find the democratic party prepared to" Insist upon its constitutional rights and to reinstate Gov ernor Boyd in the event that tha United States supreme court should ileclr.ro him en titled to thoofllLO. " Kntitlud to ( "oinldoratloii. John D. lloxvosaid : "No lawyer disposed to bo careful In giving his opinions will deny that tlio view of Chairman WaUon as to the propriety ot calllnir an election for governor this fall , Is ontltlcd to crave consideration , llo proceeds upon the assumption that the decision of our supreme court will not bo reversed by the United States supreme court. If it shall bo reversed , of course Governor lloyd will servo tno ruildno of his term and of course (1euor.il Thaver will account to him for thosolury , etc. , ho shall have received.

On the theory of thosuiiivmocourtth.it Hoyd's election was void theio Is now somothlng In the nature of a vacancy for which the constitution seams to nuiko no provision whatever.

Judt'o Blair said : "When the alliance central committee mot recently In Lincoln Jay Burrows > vent to Governor Thuyi'r mid asked him what republicans proposed to do regarding the nominating of n gubernatorial candidate this fall. The gov ernor replied that ho did not Know but that ho had just received un opinion on the legality of the act from me , "Mr. Burrows asked permission to road the opinion , and , after ho had road It , asked to bo permitted to take It to the alliance central committee.

OO93I1' . It is generally believed hero that the resig nation of bountor Qutiv ns chairman of the republican national committee will bo fol lowed by a general- reorganization of that body. At the present time General Dudley is the treasurer of the committee. General Dudley has so much private busi ness to look after that it Is thought he will tender his resignation nt tlio same tlmo that Mr. Quay steps out. In that event the un derstanding among republicans here is that the committee will select Mr. Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin as the successor to Gen eral Dudley. The only thing in the wav of Mr. Pay tie's selection Is the fact that Mr. Clarksou Is almost certain to bo elected chairman and the fact that Mr. Clarksou Is from Iowa and Mr. Payne from an adjoining state may militate against the latter , lnthlseveiit.it is thojght that Mr. Conger of Ohio will be chosen. In this connection an interesting piece of gossip was current in political circles today. It was to the effect that the democratic national committee is still in debt to the tune ol ? ir > 0,000 on account of the expenses of the campaign of IbisS and that the creditors of of the committee hold Senator Brice of Ohio personally responsible for the payment of this amount.

As a member of the board for the dlstrlbillion of Iho funds collected in our country for the Indian mission the board consists of Arcn bishop Ryan and myself. I nm in n position to know that Commissioner Morgan has dealt most unjustly toward our Indian schools. "If the numbers cducaied in the Cathollo Indian schools are greater than in Protestant schools why should not the appropriations for their support bo also greater * The fact is that Morgan , seeing the superior excel lence of Catholic Indian schools , would lllto to secularize the whole system , which , un fortunately for the poor Indians , the fc-overn- mont has refused to endorse. "The chairman of the committee on Indian affairs said the olhor day that the reason of the success of the Jesuits more than any other sect was that they devoted their whole lives to the work Ho struck the kov to the whole situation.

The concussion was felt all over the rliy , and the shrill blasts of the shops' whistles Imme diately following , gave warning of some dtro disaster. A rush was made to the round house and a scene of terrible destruction mut the gazo. The ruins had caught lire , but the streams of water played upon the debris suon extin guished the flames. The wildest rumors floated around as lo iho number of men killed , but the crowd sot to work with a will and rescued several badly Injured men mid re covered the dead bodies of two unfortunate victims , The boiler of engine No. 12 , ono of the old est engines on the road had burst. The engine had recently undergone repairs and a thorough overhauling. It was being broken in today iu the yards , and ac cording to Master Mechanic Urctisl , him boon under no greater pressure than it. : > pounds of steam. It was standing in the stall , prepara tory to going out west us a double bender , and within live minutes of the explosion , It is claimed that the gauge recistered only ninety pounds pressure. William Kasmusson , the engineer of No. 21 , had jusl brought his engine into the stall adjacent to No. 1.2 , and ho stopped to speak to ono of tlio victims , Charles Hasomeyer , the ilrenuti of No. 12 , for a fuw minutes. Upon leaving him ho passed around No , St , and the explosion then occurred. Hasmusson was struck on the left hip with a piece of flying debris , and knocked into the pit. Tills occurrence evi dently saved Ills life , as thu ruins were piled up all around him. Hasemoyor must have Just stepped into the cab , and It is claimed ho was heard to turn the blower on. Ho was found in Iho gang way pinioned againsl thu co.il gate with a board driven through his body just below the breast. Ho presented asIcKonliig.iippoar.inco His head was terribly cut and his taco and side burned. Johh Ilardrubu had Just llnlsl.ed block ing No. 21. llo was found beneath a pile of debris with a hole In his head from which tbo brains oozed out. Ho was otherwise lorribly cut and bruised and Hfo was extinct when picked up. Frank Mauor was wiping the cylinder head of wo. 21 , and when found was alive although bis left oar had been torn oT ( , his head badly mashed and otherwise injured. The physician states that ho may pull through all right. Night Hostler E. B. Thrull was in the sumo section and was blown over the Jboilcr head of No. 81 , but was not injured , with the exception of some brulsos. Charles Miller , the foreman , was also badly bruised. The ill-fated locomotive is n' ' total wreck. It was literally torn Into shreds. The walls and roof covering six stalls of the line twenty-stall roundhouse were blown out aud within the building are piled up Immense heaps of brick and timbers. The two loco motives , 21 and 84 , standing ou either side of No. 12 , nro badly damaged. The steam dome of No. 12 was blown up Into tbo air and hurled outside of thu round house , A portion of the boiler was blown out through the roof of the llrst section as clean as u Knife. Charles Hasemoyor , the fireman , was about twenty-oight years' of ago , and married , but without children , his only child having died quito recently. Ills parents reside at Louis- villa Ibis county. John Hardruba , the wiper , was about thirty-seven years of ago , a Bohemian , and leaves n widow nud throe small children , their ages rauirlng from eight to nlno years. The causa of the explosion , according to thq ofllcmls , is unaccountable and one of the roundhouse men said ho was on the eneino a fuw moments before the explosion and noticed that the steam gauge registered ninety pounds of steam nud the water glass showed plenty of water Engineer Jake Caufmati , who was breaking in tlio cngino this morning , sot the safety valve at 150 pounds. It is surmised that something was wrong with the steam or water gauge , and that the water had run low and Havomoyor noticing Ihe fact turned on the injector and the rapid generation of the steam exploded the boiler. If the accident had happened n short time earlier thu loss of life might have been appalling , as the full force of wipers were upon the scene of the disaster n few minute * previous. 1 1 Mf ,1 7 / / K U ! < ' < > It / ; V.
