As u lawyer lie wus Industrious and attentive to his busi ness , very careful of the Interests of his clients , As u Judge I hnvo frequently heard some of the leading lawyers of the state quote him us the ablest district Judge in Nebraska. C. A. Spolco ( dom. ) I have known Judco Post since ho made his residence In our city. Have Known him nt thn bar nnd on the b'-'iich. Ho is a line lawyer and an nblu Judge , second to none on the district bench in our slate.

David Sehupbach ( dom. ) 1 hnvo known Judge Post for more than twelve years and consider him ono of the host of our citizens , u good , conscientious judge , who stands nbovo party politics , nnd a man of the highest order in point of ability nnd character. The demo crats of Platte county will show tholr high cstcum for Judge Post nt the polls.

I. | By Mexican Cnblo to the Herald Special to Tin : Bcn.J From all appearances the danger of any serious trouble between Chili nnd the United States over the Balti more outrage Is passing rapidly away. What impresses the foreign newspaper representa tives hero as the most marked Infractions of courtesy in the affair are Ilrst , the failure of the Junta to express any regret that the assault was committed or to give any assur ance that the Investigation would bo thor ough nnd Impartial , and secondly , that Judge Foster , who is conducting the inquiry Into the attack , stiould have refused to allow any of the Baltimore's officers to bo present when the court was taking the ovUlonco of tno American sailors. This latter action is , however , defended on the ground that it was in accordance with the Chilians laws , which require such In vestigations to bo secretly conducted. Eleven days passed after the murder ous attack by the mob on the A mar- lean sailors before Intendcnto Arlequi made his request of Consul McCrcery thnt any data In possession of Captain Schley regarding the outrage should be furnished to Judge Foster. Consul McCroory informed Scnor Arlequi that ho was unaulo to comply with the request for the reason thnt Captain Schley had sent all the evidence to Minister Eiran for the Information of the United States government. Whllo the opinions of the Americans hero nro unnnimou ? thnt our government acted In a proper spfrlt In de manding reparation , yet they believe that in vlow of the fact that tbo present Chilian gov ernment Is simply provisional , some allow ance should bo made until tbo now govern ment is fully established. The Cibortad Electoral the seml-ofllcinl orcun of the junta publishes nn editorial which is calculated to sot at rust any feeling of uneasiness which may have prevailed hero or elsewhere in Chili. It says thnt for the last few days rumors have been provnl- cut nt Santiago that an alarming rupture of amicable relations between Chili and the United States is imminent. "Wo assure the public , " it adds , "that tneso rumors arn unfounded. We know this to bo n fact for tnis very day despatches have been received from Scnor Pedro Montt , our minister at Washington , assorting that the utmost cordiality exists between him and Secre tary Blame. This certainly Is the very opposite of hostile fooling. Scnor Montt had an important conference with Mr. Blaine , during which 'ho Baltimore cpisodo was fully discussed. Mr. Blniuo said thnt he saw In the cuso no reason so far to compromise tbo relations existing at present between the respective countries. Mr. Blaine also said that ho would not form any dollnlto opin ions uDout the affair until the conclusion of the investigation at Valparaiso. Senor Montt reports that Mr. Blainos' reception of him was cordial and kind. f "For our part , " the article concludes , "wo fool sure that those facts , when they become generally known , will put an end to all dis turbing rumors. " Two ofllcors of the Gorman navy were in sulted last night while on a train running between Valparaiso and Santiago. The in sult is supposed to have boon the outcome of tno feeling toward the German naval onlcors because the German warship Llopzli : har bored u number of Bnltnacodist refugees. The German Admiral Valols complained about the insult to the Intondontc , who has promised to use all his power to prevent u repetition of It.

Paul Vnndervoort. the fat oil-room man ipulator , who poses as the main guy of the Independent p.irty , arrived in Omaha at 11 :30 : a. in. yesterday on the B. & M. tram nnd rushed nt once to the Mlllnrd hotel. IIo didn't oven tnko time to put down bU vnli.so , but made nt once for the room of S. II. II. Clark , the general manager of the Union Pacific. The Interview lasted two hours or moro. Just what passed between the principals Is not definitely stated , but later in iho day enough had leaked out to satisfy nny reason able man of the object of Vandcrvoort's hasty mission to the railroad magnate. A reporter souuht Mr. Clark for n verifica tion of the story wnlch had found its way to the loading hotel rotundas and republican commlttoo headquarters. That gentleman woula not say whether the story was true or not , but his reference to the matter Implied nn inexpressible contempt for the man who is said to have offered Edgorton for sale , bag nnd baggage.- Proposed to Deliver Ivl nrton. Vandervoort , ns the story runs , stated to Mr Clark that ho was prepared to plcdgo his man Kdgorton to protect the Interests of the railroads in cases coming Into the supreme court. Ho said he had buon authorized by Edgerton to plC'Igo the railroads that if elected ho would do tholr bidding absolutely , and any unfavorable decisions coming from the lower courts would bo reversed in the In terests. of the railroads. Vandorvoort was profuse In his promises nnd said that if L'.dgorton did not get the railroad vote ho was lost ; that the fooling throughout the state and In all the cities was so intensely bitter against him that ho must have the vote of the railway employes In order to vtiind any show against Post. In order to obtain the support of the rail roads , Vandervoort said ho was prepared to plcdgo Edgerton to do the bidding of the cor porations , or , if that was not satisfactory , ho would go and got Edgorton himself to inako the agreement with Mr. Clark in the pres ence of witnesses. The Proposition Spurned. Mr. Clark , report has it , waited until Vandorvoort had concluded UU proposition and then ho proceeded to roist the advo cate of the independents to a turn. Ho not only rcjociod the proposition mo > t emphati cally , but ho gave tlio agent of Edgorton such a drotsln ? down as would have m ido anything but a oravs monkey heartily ashamed of himself , but Vandorvoort was not oven phased by the attack It was llko pourIng - Ing water on a duck's back , He Then OfTere.il the Knrtli. Instead of quitting the room ho started to make another proposition. Ho said he exerted a great Influence among the Inde pendents , and could swing the whole inde pendent vote nny way ho wan ted to. IIo offered to swing that vote as the railroads directed if they would do something for Edgertoii. Ho besought Mr. Clark to nccedo to his request In some form. He weuld promise anything for Edgertoii und had full power to make any arrangement with the railroads on behalf of "thn peoples candi date , " but his voice loll on deaf oars und ho wus Informed that the railroads wore not Interfering In nny way with the election and would not do so under any circumstances. The disappointed renegade lin'illy gave up the attempt to prostitute his tool to Ibo rail roads and loft the room , walking gloomily down the stairs and out of the hotel. Uurlng the conference ATundervoort used every art known to this most experienced operator - orator In underhand methods to Induce tha railroads to buy Edgerton , body nnd soul , but without avail. The Interview was hold in the presence of a third party a prominent railroad ofllcial who la'o ' last night was seen by n reporter and verified the material points UH recited above. There Is little doubt In the minds of republican leaders that the story Is truo. As nn instance showing the disposition of Edger ton toward the rnllroails the story IK recalled that shortly utter hi-s nomination onu of tils confidential imcnts sought to make terms with the general maiiagor of the B. & M. railroad. _ _ H'KATIIKK I' Omcr. oi1 WKATMKH IluiinAu , I OMAHA , Nov. 1. f A very largo area of high barometer nnd cold , fair wouthor covorn the greater portion of the country.
