EO they can calch Iho afternoon Irams for

ably count for naughl.
And this llnttonhollng llrgnn.
The climax of the crush nt the holols was
reached nt U o'clocH , when the Douglas
county delegation arrived on Woostcr's
special car. There had been a crush when
the Lancaslcr people , with delegates from
sixteen other counties , arrived at 7:3J : over
the B. & M. Upon their reaching the Mid
way the llrst methodical work of the day
began and buttonholing and caucusing was
Iho order.
Wllh the B. & M. crowd were Chairman
Mercer and n number of Omaha
delegalos , who were iho conlcr ot n
crowd of interested questioners. Then came
the big crowd headed by Webster and the
interest was nt ils height. Wobslor secured
parlors on Iho llrst lloor In the Midway ,
which were soon thronged. Ho had his man
out as skirmishers and they brought In dole-
gales from all parts of Iho slalo and Iho sit
uation was discussed and onlarcod on. Web

delegation solid and was sura of election.
He explained that ho was for Harrison llrst ,
last and nil the time , and there need bo no
fear that ho would desert upon reaching
Minneapolis.

During tha early evening n plan had beer

This was for all lo unllo In supoorl ol

the national commissioner for Nebraska ,
When Ibo Lancaster mid accompanying

had been thoroughly discussed und had bcoi :
received with general satisfaction , but there
was opposition from three quarters , Editoi
Gore of the B. & M , Journal , Edllor Bushnel
of Ihe Ghost Dancing Cull and Edilor Ham
mend of the Richards organ were "agin it. '
They wcro for downing Rosewater at all
costs. They wanted him lo bo read out of the
party , and they would not have anything Ic
do wllh any "harmony. " That would In
clude thu editor of Tin : tin : . But in spite ol
their wild tulk Ibo sentiment was In favor ol
the plan proposed. The plan was at oner
broached to the Douglas county delegation
upon Its arrival , and was approved by the
majority , but n lew soreheads protested ,
But In spite of Iho few klckcrt
a resolution will DO introduced in Iho con

Among these who hnvo be-on in confcrcnci

Many of Richards' friends pleaded will
him lo accept tbo plan offered , but after

" 1 won't ' do it , " ho U quoiod as saying
"This light has cot to go oil lo n llnlsh. It'
n light to the death , mid I propose that I
ilmll not end until Rosewater Is burled. "
When this was xlvon out there wus unothe
change of sentiment on the part of these wh
had bcnn appealing for harmony.
"Thitt sotllcs Itlih me , " said a prouil
ncnt member of the Douglas county dolcgc
tlon. "We'll ' pivo Richards all the fight h

One of the shrewdest politicians In thl
Unto and one who has ro reason to b
friendly tp TUB HER said tonight : "I cam
to Kearney to urge the selection of bit
Wobs'cr and Roowaler for dclegates-a
because ibu republican parly uiui
have harmony Hits year lo win. I look at
politics as n matter of business. Koicwntcr
Is a tower of strength In Nebraska and can
lake 10Uh ( ) voles from iho natty. I say lhat
liU selection as n dclcgato-al-largo Is n
mlghiy small concession lo make In order lo
secure bin support. To my way of llgurlngit
Is u small favnr for nn Influence that
has not un equal In the sl.no. When I heard
of the nchotno lo make Kosowalor iho na
tional commlttcoman It sit tick mo as a bettor
way out of the dlnicultv. I regard It as the
inoro desirable one. however , for him , and It
obviates iho objeclloa to having two dele-
gales from one county. 1 am in for ll and I
am positive It U gaining slrenzth raplaly. "
.Speculation It.in Wltil.
By ! i o'clock In iho morning iho lobby of
Iho Midway was thronged and there wns
Imrdlj room to move around. Delegates con
tinued lo arrive bv every Iraln anil added lo
Iho crush. There were plenly of rumors of
now slates , combinations iindtio-up , but be
yond the struggle ) of a dOi.cn mon lo secure
pledges for Kloinirds there unomed to be no
concerted movement It was n frco-for-nll.
Kvcrvbody circled 'round nud Iried lo calch
the drift of events , but thcro were no cau
cuses. Mnny were the anxious Inquiries ns
to when Iho Douglas and Lancaster men
would nrrlvo. Thcro was n lot of wild spoc-
ulailon ns to what the two big delegations
would do , and noboly seemed to want to
spring auv schema until the men from the
oust wcro on thn ground.
\i 10 o'clock Walt Scoloy mounted the
stairs loading from the hotel rotunda and
called for credentials lo Iho slalo convention.
About forly counlles responded wllh Iholr
lisls. All reported full delegations present
and uo signs of any contests. That proceeding
'
ing was Iho onlv ono InKen by tho'central
committee until evening.
As a lar o share of the delegates wcro
rom the Sixth district Ibo grcalcr part ot
their time was put In preparing the way for
their convention. A strong effort was made
by Slaughter. Agor , Sceloy ct nl to make a
tto-up which would deliver bodily Iho slate
delegates from the Sixlh district to Richards.
The scheme , however , was sat down on. Too
many of the counties wanted a dslcgalu-at-
1 in go from Iho north western part of the
Bliito , mid they were afraid thty wouldn't
get It If the east was given three. Nearly till
of them conceded that Douglas and Lancas
ter counties were each ontllled lo name n
man. So it was decided to qulclly squelch
the matter In the district convention and let
tha struggle lake ils course in Iho state
gathering.
J. L. Ivock was on hand early making 11
personal canvass in behalf of bis candidacy ,
but considerable opposition developed. Tbo
friends ol K. 11. Grccr , Nebraska's late com-
inlbslouer general of Iho World's fair , look n
mud In Iho tight and announced that
Kearney and Buffalo county would make It
plain that they wanted nothing ut Iho hands
of this state convention. They were willing
to wait until later und go before the nom-
'mating convention and nsk that Greor bo
lainoJ as thu pauv's candidate for state
treasurer. Brad Slaughter and bis aides
ulso helped along on that line , and It Kept
Mr. Keck busy looking utter his forces and
preparing lo mend any breaches that might
bo made.
Cunillil.itrs null Their Strength.
With n few notable cxccpllons iho walch-
word of Iho delegatej was "Harmony , " with
n big II. In passing little knolsof politicians
that word was beard more lhan any other.
It was agreed that harmony wns essential to
party success and Iho talkers didn't seem to
care who knew It.
" 1 tell you that so far there never was at a
stale convention such n general desire for
harmony as is exhibited among the delegates
here. " said ono of the old wheel horses of Iho
republican party , who has been greatly hon
ored at its nands in Iho pasl. "Wllh ono
single uolublo exception , everybody is wont
ing lo conoillnlo Ihe elements bf the party
which have at various times been ui outs.
That man lias u lot of strikers hero who arc
pulHnsr every siring lo iidv'iinco Iho personal
interests of their principal regardless or re
sults. His success would bo n bard blow to
Ibo party and would endanger ils success at
the polls in November. I don't need lo name
him. Ills scheme has been public property
for n month. His ouly claim for preferment
is that In building himself up ha will pull
Rosewnter down. It's simply lhat and noth
ing more , "
L. D. Richards comes to Kearney with the
'
delegations of seven counties Ins'lructcd lo
vote for him us deloiiato-at-largo. These
counties are : Dodge , York , Colfax , Cheiry ,
Antelope , Vulloy and Isucliolls. Tnoy havu
a vote of forty-eight , but Richards' friends
claim that ho will go Into tlio convention
with at least U'5 delegates pledged to his
support.
Only ono county , l ancastcr , has Instructed
for .ludgo Amasa Cobb. It has thirty-six
votes , and Cobb's friends assert that enough
delegates have sworn to stand by him to
make a tolal of KU ! votes when the conven
tion U called lo order.
W. H. Ncedhaiu , editor of the Bloomlleld
Monitor , bus Knox and Wayne counties bade
of him with nine votes , and ho hopes for ad
ditional support from the northeastern
counties.
\V. H. Strecter or Hamilton has his own
county solid with eight voles , and lias re-
reived besides thocndorsomentof the Fourth
congressional district convention.
Mr. Slreuior opened headquarters this
evening on Iho ground lloor ot the Midway
and soon his parlor was crowded. He la
sanguine that ho will bo among tbo four
lucky ones.
Uultalo county , with ton votes , has in-
slrucicd for J. L. Keck and lhat gentleman
hopes to receive a big boost from thu dele
gates from the Sixth district.
Gcorgo W. Heist of Sulcoy may also stand
fora doloeatcship ; but Ibo probabilities arc
that ho will pull out In the hope of securing
n bigger plum in tbo bhapo ot a congressional
nomination.
Then inero comes John \Vebsler and
Doutjlas county with her Mxty-throo dele
gates. And besides , Mr. Kasowalor's name
has been frequently mentioned by delegates
from all sections of the stalo.
Tlicso about complete the Held so far ns

The lemporary organization was made per-

niudo a few pertinent remarks regarding the
political outlook and the mistakes of democ
racy. Ho endorsed the present administra-
lion by saying it has made 110 mistakes of
which Iho common enemy could lake advan-
lage. Ho hoped that the delegates elected to
the national convention would place Har-
ilson at the head of tbo ticket. Wo will have
the hardest light , in this campaign wo have
over fought , because the opposition has de
veloped Into Iwo organizations. The demo

The utmost oxcltomont prevailedwhich
was quelled only by n " prompt adjournment.
Iho trouble began "with an inquiry ns to
whether or not Commissioner Haunt himself
had not furnished Special Examiner Grccn-

The commUslonur. said that ho had uot

Mr. Enloo asked it after an adjournment of

The commissioner replied that ho had not

Mr. Enloo repeated the query several

Mr. jitiloo did not already have n sutMclonlly

As Mr. Enloo , at this , made an effort to
