of pilltlcnl gravity to swing from the corner
grocery to the county court house , but Just
n the whllltod edges of Ihe soap box and
the bcscrlbblcd lop of Iho stiRar barrel
marked tlio grocery store as the center of
popular resort and discussion , so thu

btich familiarity would breed contempt
were It not for the fne-t that the modern
court house has inherited from the ancient
grocery not only the popularity of a resort
but also tlio deference of un urbilcr. Its
massive vaults Illlcd wilh the rocords.roadv

an nvnlanchu of authority , command respect
of which Iho Irises ball umplro never

When did the court house succeed the cor
ner grocery ? On a vollow page of u musty

ono ilnds written , in n cramped * lvlo , the
minutes of the first mooting of the board of
Pottawottamin county. It deelarcs :

"I notice that the Lincoln Journal prob
ably at the instance of Its postmaster editor
Is endeavoring to stir up n row over the
distribution of patronage in this stuto , " said
n well known democrat of Lincoln to u Hrr
reporter. "It is out In an article saying that
Hurwood , Sawyer nnd Watkins will huvo a
large voice lu the matter nnd that Mr.
Hrvnn will not have n monopoly of It. Of
couise , it is to the Journal's Interest to bring
on a battle nnd thereby prolong the oftlclnl
life of its editor ; out I can toll them they nro
reckoning without their host. 1 know It Is
the goncral Intention of democrats to con
cede Mi1 , tlrynn full swing In his congres
sional district , so far as patronage
Is concerned. This is especially
true with rcgurd to the nostoDlco in his own
homo , olllcial courtesy having always con
ceded tbnt much to a member of congress.
If Dryan's strength alone is not sufllcient to
accomplish this end , 1 know hu will Imvo
the nctivo co-operation of ( lovemor llo.yd ,
who 03teoms : the young man highly und did
whnl ho could to "aid in his olnclion , and 1 bo-
lievp that Governor Hoyd will wield the
most potential lullucnco of any democrat so
fur ns Nebraska patronage is concerned.
"The most likely opposition to BoyU a
patronage distributer would bo J. Sterling
Morton , who , at tlio Chicago convention
eight years ago , did nil in his power to de
feat the nomination of U rover Cleveland , nml
who used very disrespectful language about
him and nppliuu opprobrious epithets to him.
His couruo at that tlnm was made known lo
Mr. Cleveland by Dr. Miller , who was then
editing the nartv orcau and bitterly opposing
Morton , It is history that during the
four years of his administration Mr.
Cleveland studiously ij-norod Morton ,
von to the extent of denying of-
iico to men whei came with Morton's
ndorsemut. : At St , Louis four years iatar ,
vhon Mr. Cleveland was unanimously re-
lominnleil , Mr. Merion did not appear upon
he sce.no lo vote , although a delegate Irom
his state ; and ns ho hubdono iioihliig since )
o elcvnte him In the estimation of Mr.
jlovehtml personally , or as a lourcsentativu
of his parly , I do not fancy that ho will
huvo any InlhiRiiuo with the administrative
service. The election return ? sealed his fate.
le ran Uohtnd every other mat : on the ticket ,
nnd received n paltry forty-odd thousand
otcs barely a llttlo over half the cumber
lolled for Uoyd two years before.
"With Morton disposed of , there Is ISuclId
Martin to consider. Martin was not HI ravor
of renominatiug Cleveland ; hei was for Hill ,
us Is proved by n letter which bei addressed to
Mr. Hill , which letter is now in possession of
n certain Nebraska democrat nnd can bo had
on application , if necessary , to prove the fuet
0 Mr Cleveland. Ills utter incompotoncy
is ohnirmnn of the state committee is also
.lemonstrntcd by the election returns , while
the persistence- ) with wmch ho continues fac
tional stnfo nuts him beyond recosrnition.
The iimmi'-'ors of the national coinmittco
have nl'-o cot it In for Martin IJJLMU C ho re-
fusee ! co-operation upon the Uoavor elector
ulna unlcs ho was given assurances ( whie'li
be did not get ) that he should handle tlio
patro'ingo in event of victory.
"Tnon there Is Tooo ( Jastor. Tone's nllegl-
unco to thu Uurllnston road In politics ,
coupled , vitn ttio tact that his selection ns
mombcrof the national committee was ac
complished bv underhand means , Icuvc.s him
in bud odor with his party , particularly \vith
the young democrats , many of wnoiii are
loud in tbeir protoith against any dictation
em his pnrt as to who shall hum access to the
Hush pots , claiming Castor's luck of intelli
gence and ability.
"J'hero is Dr. Miller. Ho , too Is. viowoel
with suspicion bv the younii democrats ,
manv of whom attribute to him thei eloal
which defeated Ogden and elected C.iator.
Dr. Miller e'luims to bo out of politics , but ho
la iiielnlgiug in what Mr. Cleveland was wont
to call 'pernicious activity.1 I huvo heard
it said that Dr. Mil or is ator ! bomotbln. -

miiteji' ot Omaha. While ho may have bomc-
1 lung to .sav about federal pturonngu , I do
not think ho will bu e'Vctivo imlo.sj in co
operation with James U Ooyel. It cannot bo
gulnsnld that the young elemocracv is the
uutivo clement of the parly , and Hoyd Is
about thn only ono of llio old leaner * 'who
has Ucnt in touch with ttio youriiT men ;
as ono of them said to mo the other
day : 'lioyd's all right ; ho can
tie right nlong with the --year-olds. Wo

In NohdibUa this year , it was Mr. Hoyd

while the face of the returns show that the

It was the ovcnlngof election day. On the
street an expectant crowd surged In front of
Tin : Hnn building , anxiously walling to gain
some reliable information as to the result.
Thousands of eyes were upturned in the
direction of the canvas upon which the
stcreoptlcon from time to tltno flashed the
latest returns. Lonthor-lungcd patriots ,
some filled with enthusiasm * nd some with n
dash of spirits , roared themselves hoarse ,
while others made the nicht hideous with
thnlr Incessant tooting of horribly discordant
tin horns. The whole population scorned to
bo on trie streets and everybody appeared
half crnzoel with excitement.
Hut up on the sixth floor U was different.
Hero wns a busy hive of workers quietly engaged -
gaged In comnlllne the facts nnd llguros the
public was so eager to learn , tivervthlng
was carefully nud methodically arranged so
ns to proven t confusion. To each member
of the sfeft was assigned some particular
duty and in the various rooms of the editor
ial department perfect order prevailed. As
a result TMK Btr was the first newspaper to
appear on the streets with anything like full
and accurate election returns. It was
deemed prudent to assign to the religious
editor the task of answering telephone ) calls ,
and notwithstanding his many temptations
to forgot hit position he came out unscathed.
It wus a trying ordcnl ho wont Miroueh us ho
not only hael lo attend to the legitimate calls
of the puolio for election news but , what
wets still more exasperating , ho was kept
almost continually at the 'phono contradict
ing fake rumors and imaginary results that
had been concocted in the ofllco of au alleged
newspaper. Ho is a most amlablo nnd longsuffering -
suffering individual , but ho wus heard to
remark that there is such a thing as riding a
frso horse to death.
Uohlnd the iron wicket in the nute-room
sat n solitary Individual wnoso dutv it waste
to see that no nna passed through the iron
gate tbalnight. Holt was who all through the
long niirht and 'way into the next morning
stooel between the nnxioua candidate
and the editorial force. It would take two
or three issues of this panor to detail all thu
schemes devised by outsiders to gain admis
sion. Among the most persistent was
u candidate on the elnmocratlo ticket who
oxhaujted every available nrtltlco to
offoot his purpose. After trying , without
success , bribery in the shape ol liquid re
freshment , ho oven went so far ns to threaten
violence , but upon being told that tbo man
in charge of the ante-room was perfectly
willing to die If necessary nt his post of
duty ho concluded to give up the attempt.
Ho wns asked why ho diei not go down to the
organ of his own party for the Information ,
but he ropllo-J , wilh evident feelmcs of dis
gust , that , it was no good expecting accurate
returns there. This sort of thing wns repeated -
poatod with more or less variations all
through the night. It was astonishing what
a number of persons hadIjusinoss of a private
nature with the various members of the
editorial corps.
Some nooplo seem to bo very much offended
if they are not at once recognised on enter
ing n newspaper oftlco. ' Only a ilav or two
nco a shabbily dressed , hut pompous , pnrty
called nt the odlco and after mnldiic n bow
siild : "You know mo , of course. Nol Well ,
1 declare ; that is strange. I tnought nnws-
paper men always know , prominent public
men. Allow ma to iufosui you , young man ,
that I am n candidate for the position of as
sessor In tbo Uluvonth ward. " ?
But It is not only at election times that n
luwspapor is besmgod by bores. All the
year "round they arc subject to visits from
all sorts of people upon every conceivable
errand.
Probably the most annoymtr visitor Is the
: mui who wants to see the editor nnd coolly
remarks that having nothing to do he simply
wisncs to kill a few hours limo before his
; rain starts and thought ho would just
ook in.
Many people have an Idea that they must
seei the editor-in-chief on the most trivial
matters. Not lomr since n well dressed gen
tleman called nt the onion and insisted upon
beeing the oillior-ln-chiof or the managing
editor. On bfinc told that ho wovld havu testate
state his business ho said : "Tho fact is I
lave mot with n serious accident. As I wns
coming down Sixteenth street this morning
I stunpnd upon a nail that projected from llio
sidewalk und It midu u hole in
ny bbno and injured my foot.
Now I think It i-t disgraceful that
the sidewalks should bo so neglected when
wo have highly paid city oniemU , and I want
the e'ditor to write a strong editorial on the
subject. "
Sometimes very funn.7 incidents occur in a
newspaper ofllec. About three months ago n
man came into the otticenuel wantod'to Insert
mi advertisement about n , Has he had lost.
While ) ho was talking ho noticed a dog at
tached lo the log ol a table , nnd at once saw
that , It was his dog. It so happened that one
of the boys had found the dog on the street ,
anel taking n fancy to him had persuaded Iho
nnimal to follow him up to the editorial de
partment. That day Tin. BEE lost a short
ad. und the reporter was minus a dog.
In writing up it prize light between a
couple of colored men SOIUH time nijo the
sporting editor said thut ono of thu pugilists
resembled u big black baboon and that the
other lookou line a rnanogany colored
ourancr oiunng. The next rnornmir ono of
Iho holliercrents cnrao urounu to the otilco
and exureiseil great Indignation nt the use
of these names in describing the principals
in the light. Ho was asked which one litte'd
him and ho sild ha i-uessod ho was the blauic
baboon , 'iml ho proposua to imiko the writer
pr'ivn the truth of bis assertion or he would
HUO the paper for libel.
Some people seem to think that It does not
rcejuiro much u In lily to edit a newspaper.
L'.iitJuno a furmer called at this olllco and
said that ho wanted to got bis boy nn 11 news
paper. Ho remarked that hu had tried to
u-ot him to Jearn HOIIIO iisoful trade , but it
was no use ; he had no brains anel could not
learn , nud thuonlv thing he could do wns to
write for the paprrs. . Ho was not engaged.
Hut of all the Honda that make thu life of
a newspaper man at timers un unhappy one is
Ih'j exchange llemd. Ho Is sure to put in un
appearance ! ; IM duvs out p ( tlm year. In anil
