Oat Several Cuscg.
LINCOLN , Dec. 8. ( Spec'al. ) Governor
Crounae today appointed the following dele
gates to the Nebraska State Irrigation con
vention at Kearney , December 18 and 19 : A.
B , King , Culbertson ; T. V. Golden , John J.
McCaffcrty , O'Neill ; Prof. 0. V. P. Stout ,
Btato university ; H. W. Gulne , North Platte ;
* A. B. Woods , Gerlng , L. II. Jewltt , Broken
( Bow ; John H. MacColl , Lexington.
The governor has also appointed two of the
eo eral delegates to the Cotton States and In-
duitrlal exposition , to bo opened at Atlanta ,
'On. , September 18 , and hold until December
31 , 1895. They are Colonel George E. Jen
kins. . Falrbury , and F. M. Brome , receiver of
the 'JJnlted ' States land ofllco at Alliance.
There , are others to be appointed , and It Is the
request ot Governor Crounso that such per
sons as desire to attend as delegates make It
known to him at an early date , that ho may
complete the full complement of Nebraska.
There are also eight women delegates to bo
Belected , at the equest of the board of women
managers of the exposition. The Importance
oJ this enterprise Is not , perhaps , fully real
Ized by the people residing north of Mason
and Dlxon's line. The exposition is not con
fined In Its limitations to southern states , or
even to the American union. The king of
Belgium has agreed to send au , exhibit from
the Congo Free State , and another Is expected
from Siberia. Others will bo received from
Mexico , Venezuela , Colombia and the Central
American republics.
CRANK HUNTER AGAIN.
The Indefatigable and verbose crank. Ben
jamin V. Hunter , has again assailed Gov
ernor Crounse with another letter. The other
one , received two weeks since , a synopsis o
which was given In The Bee , was In the na
ture of a warning , and was entitled "Sidings , '
The following one threatens dire disaster to
the city ot Lincoln and the Inhabitants
thereof. It Is necessary to correct the or
thography to a considerable extent , as the
author persists In spelling the name of the
Deity with a little g and Lincoln with a
lower caio 1 :
WASHINGTON. D. C. , Dec. 6 , 1891. "No
Mercy Here. " To the Governor of Ne
brngko. : You are Informed that among
cities which shall be smitten with a terrible
bad calamity and destroyed Insldo ot two
years from this very day Is the one In
which you now live , known as Lincoln
Every house there shall be thrown down
level with the ground , and all the in
habitants thereof shall be scattered so tha
not two ot them shall be found together
It Is , also , the ofllce of the prophet , wh
is , also , a Nazarito unto God , to tell th
people what Clod Is KQlnjr to do to them fo
their past wickedness. Itut under no clr
oumstunces Is lie allowed to tell them when
Thus salth the Lord. "The wicked shall ai
fall at once , yea , will I scatter them to th
four corners of the earth. Amen. "

Iloccnt Uttflranoo of the Vnttoooil Man >
SILVER CREEK , Neb. , Dec. 8. To the
Editor of The Bse : In his letter to Chairman
Merrill opposing a contest , Thomas J. Majors
assumes a grandiloquent air of disinterested
loyalty to party , which , In view ofl some re
cent events , Is quite refreshing. To read his
letter an unsophisticated person would nat
urally suppose that he was one of the most
pure-minded of men , and , If such a thing were
possible , a guileless politician who would
scorn to take an unfair advantage or In any
way profit by underhanded or Irregular work ,
He says ; "For thirty-flve years I have affili
ated with a political party which advocates a
tree ballot and a fair count , and now neither
I nor any of my friends will undertake any
proceedings that may even have the appear
anc6 ot violating that'sxalted principle of the
republican party. * il * * I was falrlj
nominated ; I made a fair can'
vass for the election , and now submit cheer
fully to the apparent-will ot the majority ) a :
shown by the official .jfturns , as I have nl
ways done and as ijery good republlcai
should do. " Lit
If Mr. Majors is somuch , In favor ot i
free ballot and ! a fair count , why did we no
hear something of II i the Omaha conven
tlon at the tlml 'of his nomination' '
At that convention -fhere was doubtles
a fair count , but there was not a free bal
lot , and Mr. Majors -knows It. When he Bay ;
he was fairly nomlnatod he says what li
knows and what evpryjman present at tha
convention knows Is .not . true. It ho wa
fairly nominated I cannot very well concelv
ot circumstance under'wjiich It culd proper !
bo tald of a candidate' , ( hat he was not falrl :
nominated. A nomination to be fair mus
not only be the work ot a convention falrl ;
constituted , but ot a convention In which eacl
Individual delegate has due recognition am

established usages ot parliamentary law gov
ernlng such assemblies.- to whether undu
Influences were In any cases brought to boa
on county conventions In the Interest of Mi
Majors , I will not here consider further thai
to say that from such Information as I have ,
fully believe that It the B. & M. rallroa
had kept out of tha preliminary campalgn-
and they kad no business in It he woul
never have been nominated at all. As to th
organization of th convention , It was a cut
and-drled affair , put up In the Interest of Mo
Jon , the delegates themselves having prac
tlcally nothing to do with It. Th
chairman ot the convention was elected b
the central committee a proceeding entire !
unwarrantable , except on the theory that th

tself primarily for the very purpose of
manipulating the work of the convention In
ho Interest of Majors. The fact that the
.lacColl men may have entered Into the con-
est before the state central committee , cuts
10 figure and constitutes no defense. Neither
s It any defense to say that the committee
lamed the chairman at the convention of
ast year , or that the same thing Is sometlmoi
one in other states. I Insist that a state
onventlon should always be permitted to
ame Its presiding officer , and I trust that
n future republican conventions In thU state ,
hat plan will be religiously adhered to. It
s better than trying to force men to support
ticket they were denied a free hand In nom-
natlng. But let us drop further consldera-
lon of these preliminary matters and come
o the actual work of the Omaha convention.
All present will remember the motion that
was duly made and carried to take an in-
ormal ballot on governor. The result of
hat ballot made It apparent that Majors
vould bo nominated on the first formal bal-
ot If one were taken Immediately. At this
point a member of the Douglas county dele-
; atlon made a motion to adjourn , presumably
n the Interest of MacColl. This motion re-
elved many seconds , and was heard by every
ne In the convention. But the chairman ,
vlio was a Majors man , arbitrarily and per-
Istently refused to recognize the gentleman
rom Douglas , and Instead , as arbitrarily or-
Icred a formal ballot on governor , for which
act he had no authority from , the convention ,
either direct or Implied. All this was done
n spite of violent protests from all over the
louse. The convention was in a tumult for
some minutes and the chairman was utterly
lowerless to enforce order. The roll call
Inally proceeded and Thcmas J. Majors waa
nominated. But what was Thomas J. Majors
doing during that violent scene ? I sat fac-
ng him , and within ten feet of him. While
he uproar was at its height , a gentleman
near me , speaking of Majors , said : "He
las his eye on this thing. " Glancing toward
Majors , I saw him beckoning the secretary
and pointing to where the Banner count ;
delegation was seated , so that he could gel
.heir vote , which ho had been prevented
'rom doing by reason ot the confusion. 1
heard some one say Banner county was tc
change to Majors. Now , after that bulldoz-
ng , arbitrary work has been carried to It :
legitimate end , I may say , happy conclusion
and Majors Is defeated , he has the Inflnlti
gall to say In his letter to Chairman Morrll
I would not under any consideration be gov
ernor ot the state of Nebraska under clrcum
stances that would warrant any honest mar
In even holding a suspicion that there wa !
the least question In regard to my title to tin
honorable position. "
Why was he not equally solicitous as to hi :
nomination ? Why did he not then say while
owing tothe arbitrary work ot the chair , thi
convention was virtually a howling mob o
angry men , "Mr. Chairman , I think tli
motion to adjourn was In order and shouli
be put. I do not want thU nomination 'un
der circumstances that would warrant an ;
honest man In even holding a suspicion tha
there was the least question in regard to m ;
titleto the honorable position. ' " But , no
Mr. Majors was not there for any such pur
pose. The mill had been built to grind , an
ho actively assisted It In forcing on the re
publicans of this state a distasteful nomlna
tlon , I trust he Is ai well satisfied with th
outcome as lie professes to be , and that no
only he , but all other professional politician
are also satisfied that hereafter It will be bee
to let the men who do the voting have some
thing to say about the nominations.
