has several times given evidence of lh <
menial dlsircss lhai wns so noticeable for t
few days nuccccdlng Ibo Iracedy , and ho ba ;
been noticed to frequently shade his oyci
with bis hands aud several tlmou there wa ;
n suspicious gleam of moisture nbout hi :
eyes. This feeling Is not Induced by nn.\
nervousness or apprehension as to the prob
able outcome of tba trial , but caused in on
by the painful recollection of the past.
The public will hardly know until It read :
these lines how near both sides catno ti
being .satisfied . with a Jury this afternoon
When thoslalo waived llssccond peremptory
challenge shortly before 4 o'clock there wai

copied bcloru cither side have oxhaustei
their peremptory cuallcnccs. As soon ns th
Jury is secured the stnlemont of the cas
will bo made by Attorney Snell. Ho will b

Ills name Is Kav. Kobsrt L.Vuculor , nnU
10 wns nominated last evertiiK by Iho popu-
ists for the olllco of congressman from Iho
Second Nebraska dlslriet to (111 the vacancy
cnuscil by the declination of Christian OrfT ,
who was nominated three weeks ago by th
same convention , but who supposed that Dr.
a. D. Mercer instead of D. 11. Mercer WM
aiming for the same oftleo on the republican
tlciset , and promptly concluded thai ihs
doctor's bar'l would carry a lllllo moro
weight ihan ho could swing. At toast , th t
was Iho explanation offered the convention
nst ovouliig by ona of the members of tha
; ougro sloual commltt o , In briefly rovlow-
ng the ovouts of the p\st : three weeks.
But little moro than half the original dolo-
eatos to the convention were present , and
afior a rather tedious process ot nscorta'ln-
ng Just who were tboro , Iho call of wards
and precincts wns ordered for the presenta
tion ot candidates , mid the names ot Allen
Koot. the orU-imil Adam of tliu Douglas
county braucu of the populist Kdou , and.
Kov. Kobort L. Wheeler of South Omaha ,
wore Iho only ones thut were olVorcd.
Hut Allen Couldn't Win.
Hoot wasn't lu It , : iot oven to the bottom
of his rolled up trou cr.i , nnd ins disappoint *
mentwus tbickor'n lust .vent's Jolly , but U
couldn't bo helped. ' 1 lie political children ol
bis own creation had soured on hlm.as U
wore , mid Colonel Koot couldn't have traded
a stack of buy for the nomination , no matter
liow hungry the delegates might havo-beon.
Ho had the support of the Second nnd
Fourth wnrds , htilf the Third and n little
slice of tbo Eighth. Washington county
cave him two nn.d one-third votes mid Sarpy
spillnd htm ouo , while the country precincts
ot Douglas considerately dropped him llvo
more , n totnl of sixteen tinil live-slxtconlbs.
The secretary , However , didn't nnnounco
it that way. llo was qulto n pretty younjr
man , nnd ho meant r.ll rlht , but ho had
never learned how to apply his uHU.mctlo lo
political I'pnventloni , and when ho nrosn
with the llcurcs on thu paoor before him , ha
remarked that It was a rather dilllcult vote
to announce. He said that ho could figure U
out it' ho had time , but ho didn't propose to
stay Ihoro nil night , and then declared :
"Iho vole Is like Ibis : Keel sixteen voles
nnd u half a vote , nnd u third of n veto ;
VVhcolor forty-four votes nnd u unit n vela
nnd two-thirds of a vote. "
Just ut ibis Juneturo Mr. Koot's face would
bavo been a study ; "or un entomologist. His
ruddy ctioeks piled until they were but n
u few shades darker than his wblskcrj , nnd
his Inward perturbation seemed ubout'to
shake tno tuitions from his clothes , still ha
wns net ready to abandon all hope , and ris
ing to his feet , ho moved to mnlto the nomin
ation of Mr. Wheeler unanimous "provided *
ho will accept. "
The nomlnoo was in South Omnhu , ns Kir.
Koot was well aware , but if bo counted on
not boincr able to hear fro-n that cenllcmnn
ho was a trillo short on information.
JumptMl on Nouli AVulxtcr.
"You see , " said Mr. Koot , "wo haven't any
time to spare , nnd the ccrtlllcato of nomina
tion must bo in Lincoln in u coiinlo of days ,
and if wo fail to tiuiko a nomination tonight
that will stick , wo will bo completely up n
stump. U this mai : won't talto it , wo will
bavo"to nominate fomcbody else , and it will
liavo to bit done rlsiht hero a'nd now. 1 guess
I will move to hold my previous motion In
nboynnco [ pronounced ao'iyanco , accent on
the Ilrst syllable , ! for awhile , so us to sea
whether wo nro going to bear anything from
him "
"Mr. Koot moves to hold tlio motion in
abeyance for nwhilo , " said Chairman Wil
liams , pronouncing the ticklish word with
due regard lor the preferences of Iho lute Mr.
Webster.
"I'm opposed lo holding it in obcyanco , "
Interjected a delegate trom the Second
ward , ringing In another twist.
But even that wus not nil , fur another
delegate , without u homo so far us could bo
ascertained , but with a visible supply of
good Intentions , discoursed mou interest
ingly until called down bv tha chairman on
the Inadvlslblllty ou general principles of
holding things in "obul.sancu" until a man
could como from South Omaha.
The discussion was still going on , when a
dologalc cnmo rushing in from a neighbor *
ing telephone with the announcement lhai
Iho iiomlnea would accept , and would coma
up to tell tha convention so Just us can *
tlio motor would bring him.
That Rattled Mr. Koot. for as soon as ha
rcall/.od that thu jig wus up and that llicra
was nothing to bo gained by dulny ho ro-
nowou his motion to nrilo tlio nomination
unanimous , and It carried with a uhoop aud
wns duly announced. The sccrotary , who
hud creiwhilo orated In behalf of Koot , de
claring llmt ho had boon .slmmolullv abused
nnd maligned by Iho ofllciul paper of his
own party , and deprecating personal
Journalism until called down by Ed
Morcarty , once Known to strout rumor und

Pending the arrival of the nominee ,
speeches were called for , und Hon V. O.
StricKlor. llio nopulisl aspirant for Attorney
( . ( inoral Hastings' Jub , could not resist the
temptation totbrusl himself into the itching
"old. Ho said thai the convention had mntlo
n good nomination , and then passed to the
subject that wns nearest bis heartbis own
candidacy. Ho Ilrst picked up T. J. Mahoney -
honey , who , ho suld , had udvlscu people not
to vote for him Ucrauso of his connection
witli ibe pioniorabln L'ubcrnalorlul contest
cases ol iwo ycar.i ago , and alleging Ibat ha
bad sought tn discredit the returns of Doug
las county at that time.
Ho thought thnt Mr. Mahoney should bo
the last man In tlio world to moko &uch a
charge agalnsi him , us ho could remember a
few mouths back when this aamo Mr , Mu-
honey represented a contesting delegation In
a state convention , und wont before tbo'
contest committed and made charge *
against Ibis sarao Governor Ilo.vd of
having pncircd caucuses nnd stolen prl *
matics ( or iho purpose of clouting dele *
gutca fuvorablu to ins own candidacy ,
charges that the speaker would not bav
dared lo bring.
"I oolcd professionally as a duly employed
attorney in Ihuconlost tn which I took part , "
ho continued , "whllo Mr. Mahoney was actu
ated solely by his Interest an ono of the dele *
gates to thnt convention defeated for thi
chairmanship , und as such made nDldavits
and preferred charges ugalnU his brother
democrats. Toward Governor Boyd I enter
tain ibo most friendly feelings. Ho ha *
made us a good governor and In going to

Ihero will bo some startling development *
