Mr. Johnnon of Clay moved that th
amendment submitted by the committee o
miscellaneous corporations be not con
curred In. Ho sent to the clerk's desk nn
had read petitions and letters from larg
Insurers In Omaha. The petition \\aa n
follows *
Wo understand that the bill proposes t

The petition was signed by 100 business
men and firms of Omaha. Accompanying
the petition was a package of letters , twenty
five or thirty of the Urgent Insurers In
Omaha cxprcslng their objections at length
Speaking of the letters and petitions Mr
llowell atatod they represented $16,000,000 o
Insurance. Similar letters and petitions
signed by largo Insurers In the city of Lin
coin wcro also rend.
Mr. Unwell declared lhat the law It passed
would not have the uffcct to reduce Insurance
anco rates , because the rates would still bo
fixed by ono man. Ho declared that the law
was systematically evaded In all states whcro
it has been placed on the statute books
Mr. Haller of Washington tald lhat the
law was directly In the Interests of the In
Rurors In all the smaller cltlea and towns o
the state. Ho thought perhaps It would bo
a good thing for Omaha and Lincoln , bu
rather than jeopardize the passage of the
bill ho would accept the amendment.
Mr. Talbot favored the amendment. Mr
Murphy WEB a strong opponent of the proposi
tion. Mr Fellz of Keith opposed the amend
ment Mr Caldwell rend a letter from the
auditor of the Insurance department of Mis
souri , explaining that In that Elate- the law
applied only to cities having a populatloi
of 100 , COO and less. The letter aUo stated
that the rates had been Increased In the
Pltlca where the law applied and decrease !
In the city of St Louis , where the law hai
110 force. At the end of the dcbito the
amendment was rejected ami the bill recom

rose Hills on third reading were then taken up
end placed on their final passage. The bll
providing for n recount of the ballots cast
for the constitutional amendment relating
to Judges of the supreme court was laid on
the secretary's desk. M/ . Talbot moved as
an amendment to the bill thpt the committee
ho Instructed to recount the ballots on al
the amendments. The senate declined. Mr
Murphy Ihen offered the following amend
ment , which was also rejected-
In rase of objection by any member ot
the committee vieroln provided for to the

Blmll be the duty ot said committee to de

After a long and heated debate on UK

ment providing that no receiver shall bo ap
pointed where the property Is o-cruplod us a
homestead This amendment WAI adopted
by a unanimous vote , and the bill recom
mended for passage as amended
House roll No. 208 , repealing the appraise
ment law , was next conildcred. No one was
radically opposed to the bill and It was
recommended for passage.
ON OEFICIBNOY JUDGMENTS.
House roll No C , Hull's dencl'iicy Judgment
bill , was read.
Ilurkott ofteml an amendment providing
that the bill should not apply In cases where
a mortgage was given as collateral security
for a pre-existing debt. Thla amendment
was adopted.
Hull moved to amend so as to prohibit
a foreclosure after the mortgagee shall have ,
Instituted proceedings nt law and secured
judgment. The amendment carried.
Section 2 , requiring that renewals shall
bo marked as such In red Ink , was stricken
out.
out.Hlch moved to strike out all after the
enacting clause , and Insert a provision re
pealing section C3C3 of the Compiled Statute
of Nebraska for 18D5. He declared that the
pasiuge of mich a measure as house roll No. C
would bo dishonorable , because It exempted
people from keeping obligations which they
entered Into willingly and knowingly , When
a man protnlscs to pay a certain sum of
money ho should be held for the full
amount.
Oaylord said Utah's amendment was pre
sented for the purpose of killing this bill ,
and ho hoped It would bo voted down.
I'ollard was In favor of Ulch'o amend
ment. It would do away with dedclency
Judgments , and ho believed the passage of
house roll No. C unnecessary ,
nurkott'sald the question waa becoming
very much mixed up , and ho moved that
when the committee arise , It report progress
and ask leave to sit again. Ho further nsk
that the speaker appoint a committee to
draft a substitute for house roll No. G , said
committee to report Immediately after readIng -
Ing of the journal tomoirow morning. Tha
motion prevailed.
Concurrent resolution No. Gil , authorizing
the governor to appoint a committee to devise
wa > s and means for securing better freight
rates to the gulf , was ordered cngiossed for
third reading.
WIFK MUST SIGN MORTGAGES.
Senate file No. 17 , by Ransom , providing
that chattel moitgages Khali bo signed by
both husband and wife , waa taken up. All
members thought thla bill a Just one , and
after very llttlo discussion it was recom
mended for passage.
Senate ( lie No. 40 , Ransom's bill , requiring
street car companies to properly protect
their employes from Inclemency of the
weather , was read.
Wlebo of Hall moved to substitute "wind
break" for the word "enclosure" wherever
It occuia In the bill.
Roberts thought this change should not
bo made. It would only delay , and endanger
the passage of this bill , which Is demanded
by street car employes
Gajlord spoke In the same strain , and
further said that these companies had been
given seventeen years In which to do the
right thing by their men , but It was at
last neccesaiy for the legislature to require
them to give the proposed protection.
Wlebe's amendment waa voted down.
Rich moved to amend by allowing both
sides of the pltfotm to be left opf > n. He
said he had consulted with a large number
of the motormen , and they all agreed that
the protection In front would be sufficient.
Roberta opposed the amendment. Ho
wanted the bill to go through Just as it
Is. Ho said thla was only another way of
putting the same amendment that had been
voted down.
Kolker protested that the statement that
Omaha motoimen are asking for the passage
of this bill was untrue. He wanted a
windbreak on cars , but contended that the
solid enclosure would work great hardship
to street car companies.
Pollard said the bill did not require a
tiolld enclosure , but one that was proper
and sufficient to protect against storms , and
ho wanted to sco Is pass , -without change.
Rich said ho "would not criticise the ngcni
ot the Introducer ot this bill , but ho would
go after the master in the senate. Who
Is this man Ransom , " ho asked , "vvho pre
tends to be fighting corporations ? He Is the
regular , paid attorney of the Omaha Stock
Yards company , employed by the year. "
Rich's amendment waa lost , and the bll
recommended for passage. The committee
rose and Its report was adopted.
EXPOSITION DILL SIGNGD.
The speaker announced that he had elgnec
house roll No. 03 , the Transmlsslsslppl Expo
sition appropriation bill , the senate having
receded from Its amendment.
The committee on privileges and elections

LINCOLN , March 22. ( Special. ) The
oinclal cnncppondonco over the recount
imuldlo already gives promise of filling a
largo volume. First came the governor's mes
sage , then the letter to the chief executive
from P. O. Hedlund , ono of the recount com
missioners , and the subsequent reply to the
ramo by the remaining members of the com
mission who had been attacked. Then the
governor Issued another letter to the public ,
discharging Hedlund from the commission.
O. M. Lambertson followed with n letter to
the public on his own behalf , nnd this mornIng -
Ing the governor himself furnished the
press with a lengthy interview on the sub
ject. Now comes Secretary of State Porter
with an elaborate exposition of hlfl views
on the cmbrcgllo , and another legal docu
ment on the same subject Is oxpscted from
C. O. Wheedon tomorrow. Secretary of
State Porter's letter given to the preis today
U as follows :
LINCOLN , March 20. To the People
ple of the State of Nebraska : In view of
the fact that Mr. P. O. Hedlund , In a letter
published by his Match ID , makes certain
charges that tlio billotn entrusted- my
keeping as secretary of state In many In
stances have been tampered \vltb , and In
view of the further fact that Mr. G. M.
Lambertson nnd others have charged the
recount commission with holding star
chamber session ? , I deem It my duty to
the public at this time to state the fauUi
In the case according to the best of. my
Unovvledgo and belief.
WATCHING THE BALLOTS.
1. Permit mo to say in regard to the
charge that ballots have been tampered
with and Insinuations that It might have
been done lifter they came Into tlio olMce
of the secietary of state , that from the
tlmo the Ilrst ballots iiTlvtd at tills otllce
until the present time there has boon Bomo
ono continually gwm. . ig the same. Tully
appreciating the responsibility resting upon
myself as custodian of thc o ballots , I Im
mediately appointed a guaul to watch over
them during the nbsonco of the employes
of this olllcc , and there has not been a
single hour to my knowledge , that a
careful watch has not been kept , nnd I
think I can state positively that not a
slntjlo package has ever been opened or
tampered with since they came into my
pos pfision except In the presence of the
canvassing commission.
If , as Mr. Hedlund charges , the tally
sheets will show that there have been hun
dreds of ballots more counted for the
amendment In certain counties , which ho
names , than the ballots themselves will
show , then I assort that Mr. HedlutvJ ,
moro than any one else. Is responsible for
this condition. That mistakes may some
times have been made In the counting maybe
bo possible , but that such mistakes as Mr.
Hedlund charges have been ma.de , I em
phatically deny I do not believe that a
single blank ballot has ever been counted
yes for the amendment , nor do I believe
that at any time ono ballot was counted
moro than oiyet either for or against the
amendment. Mr. Hedlund Is one of the
men who kept the tally nnects , and , as
already stated In a letter published by
the commission In yesteulays state papers ,
his tally was always regarded as correct ,
and whenever differences existed between
his and Mr. Ulnke's tally sheets , Mr.
Blake's sheet was made to correspond with
Mr. Ilpdltind's , for the reason that Mr.
Hedlund did the counting as the ballots
were called off , and hence was presumed
to be .tccuiate In his tally. No member
of the canvassing board except Mr. Hedlund
was ever , to my knowledge , left In the
possession of the tally sheets , and If these
sheets show a greater vote tallied for the
amendment In the counties already can
vassed than Is Justified by the markings
of the ballots , then I fearlessly assert that
Mr. Hedlund and Mr.'Hedlund only Is the
responsible party for this condition. , „
LAYS llLAME ON HUDLUND.
I hjvvo always regarded Mr. Hedlund as a
man of honor and one who was reliable
and trustworthy , but Judging from the
statements In his letter of yesteiday , I nm
constrained to believe that Mr. Hedlund
has conceived within the wickedness of his
own heart a diabolical plot to attempt to
blast the reputation of the other members
of this commission by making- fraudulent
tally and baying nothing ; about It until the
count was completed , then , as he himself
Intimates In his letter to the governor ,
creating a sensation by charging that the
whole count has been fraudulent from start
to flnlsh and demanding- Investigation
to provo his charges , citing , as ho did In
his letter , certain counties which he had
purposely tallied far in excess of the bal
lots cast for the amendment. If Mr. Iled-
lund's statements were true , then every
member of the canvassing1 board , Including
himself , should bo In the penitentiary , as
they have committed an outrage on the
public , which , In my judgment , should con
demn them to such treatment.
With regard to the evidence Mr. Hedlund
speaks of , that ballots from certain coun
ties had been tampered with , I will state
that the only county , to my knowledge
where this existed was thr county of York
and thla was partially If not fully ex
plained In the letter , signed by nil the
members of the commission except Mr
Hodlund , In their report to the governor
of yesterday. I will also state that ono
very Important matter , ns I consider It ,
has not been stated , cither by Mr. Hedlund
or by other members of this commission In
their letter of yesterday , namely ; That In
almost every county we found a largo
per cent of the precincts where the ballots
had evidently never been counted , as shown
from the fact that they were still folded
lust as they had been dropped Into the
ballot boxes. I do not think that It Is
any exaggeration to say that all precincts
so retuinlnpj ballots would amount to from
one-fourth to one-third of the total vote as
far as the canvass linn progressed , and
Mr. Hedlund was very free to express bis
condemnation when such ballots were
opened at such proceedings on the part of
the election boirds , saying frequently ,
"thore la no excuse for such proceedings as
worm WITH LAMIJERTSON.
Now , 'a vvoid to Mr. Lambertson. with
regard to the matter ho mentions , when he
says that "Tho presumption Is that the
count was right. " Ijot mo nsk Mr. Lam-
Lcrtson , as an honest man , ( If the term Is
not misapplied ) , did you over know of a
cunv.ihslntf board In counting ballots under
the Australian ballot system , of largo bal
lots which wo now have , to refold each
ballot after canvassing the same , just In
the same manner In which they were folded
by the voter when diopped Into the ballot
Lox ? ICvery Intelligent citizen Jtnows that
this never has and probably never will bo
: lone , and the very fact , aw nlieady stated ,
that from ono-fourth to one-third of the
! > roclncts that have been counted up to
this time , have been In this condition , is
[ irlma faclo evidence that these ballots
rtoio noyor counted , nnd that false entries
liavo been made upon the poll books w hlch ,
In no Instance , correspond with the ballots
aunt for nnd against the amendment for
these precincts.
With regard to the charges made that the
canvassing board did their work behind
closed doors , which they riavo styled star-
L'hnmber proceedings. I will say that Mr.
Lnmbertson , when ho makes such slate-
irents , knows that he Is- uttering a dellber-
ito falsehood , ns does oveiy other gentle
man who asked for admittance to the room
when the count mns goingon. . But when
Mr. Limbertson asked that ho might bo
permitted to place a man In the room , not
to witness the count , but to take part In
the name and act as nn umplra or censor
over the actions of the canvassing board ,
his tequest was denied , ns the commission
hail no power either to add to or take from
Its numbers. Sir , LimhcrtBon. when asked
f ho would bo satlslled with having his
loprcsentatlvo simply Bit nnd witness the
ount to BPO that there wns no Irregu-
arltles , replied Hint this would not satisfy
him unless he wns permitted to take part
In the count It must bo apparent to every
Intelligent cltlicn of the state that , hud the
iloors loading' Into the public corridor of
the rapltol been thrown open to admit nny
nnd all ( persons to crowd In nnd around the
Inblo of the canvassing- board , that the
work would bo very seriously Impeded nnd
no good could come from such proceedings
METHOD OP COUNTING.
An stated to Mr. LamberUon when ho
icauestvd an additional republican to be
added to the canvassing board , the only
persons vvho had anything to do with de
termining the result of the recount were
the two persons who called off the ballots
and the two keeping the tally sheets , nnd
as n republican was placed continually upon
each or then ) divisions the republicans bud
icjual tores ntatlon with both pcpullsts anl
democrats so fur as taking any action In
the mutters pertaining to the recount wilti
concerned , It requiring the attention of the
other members of the board to do the me
chanical -work , such nu opening , unfolding
and preparing the ballots getting them In
condition to bo recounted nnd weallnK uu
the same after they had been counted. I
nssert thnt firi Member of the canvassing
board , to myj nn/M-ledge , oxprc.sced any de-
Plre to count Tirry ballots for the nmemf-
input which wpro apparently marked
against thp amendment. To Illustrate tno
plan on which doubtful billets were counted
let mo say IHnt.Tfhen n ballot wns marked
"yps" at thp tori of ballot inhere the Inten
tion of thp bnJIotjWns to hive the markings
stand for all of thp amendments , nnd wns
further mnrked bplow on the amendment
which wns bcltiR cnnvasspil. both "IPS" nnd
"no , " ns wns sotrMtlmps done In rnre cn es ,

ifveroed the billet being mnrked "no" nt
the top nnd . , tn'i | | "yes nnd "no" below
for the amendment In question , the ballot
wns counted " \t&f allowing the preponder-
nr.co of cvldr icRo govern In the matter.
The total number of ballots thus mnrked ,
so fnr ns my oh < orvnllon wpnt , was. not
great , If Mr. Lnmbertson has nny criticism
to offer ot this kind of counting ho Is the
first mnn that I have met who has not said
thnt this mis the only fair way to count
such ballots ,
AIMS OI'11 TH13 COMMISSION.
I do not bellpvu thnt there Is n member
of the canvassing board vvho hns hnd nny
dcslro from the beginning to wrongfully
count nny bnllol6r to declare In the result
that the nmendment hns been carried un
less the same Is correctly shown by the
plnln markings of the billot. I certainly
hope that , ns suggested by Mr. Hcdlund's
letter , thnt the ballots nlrcady counted may
bo recounted , and that If the present com
mission Is not n fair nnd honest commis
sion , a new commission may bo appointed ,
whom the general public have confidence
In , to do their work correctly nnd honestly ,
nnd that the count may ( proceed until every
county Is Mulshed nnd the result declared ,
for I nm convinced from fho com ! tlon of
thn ballots of counties already canvassed
that a deliberate plot was entered into by
some person or persons to suppress the vote
on the amendment and defraud he pfroplo
of the right to have two morp judgps ,
circled by thomsnlve Instead of HUPP com
missioners , which wo now have who nro
appointed by the court and : iot elected.
Trusting that this statement may be
fairly and Impartially considered by nil
fair-minded citizens , I beg to subscribe
myself , very respectfully ,
w. v. POUTUU ,
Secretary of Stntp.
Attorney General Smyth this evening added
another letter to the controversy over the
recount. His communication Is as follows :
LINCOLN , Neb , March 22 To the Hdltor
of The Boo : Saturday evening , on my
way to Omaha , my attention was directed
for the first tlmo to a communication by-
Mr. O. M. Lambertson , ntldicssed "To the
Public , " and published In the State Journal
of the 20th. While ndverso to participating
In a newspapar controversy , especially
when that controversy Involves , even In a
remote degree , a cilticlsm of a decision of
a couit , I cannot permit Mr. Lambcrtoon's
communication to go unntisncrcd , because
theio me so many mlsstutement.s of faot
therein with which ho connects my name.
Horctoforo I have regurded Mr. Limbert
son as a gentleman of hlqh professional
standing , but the effusion of untruth which
lies before me with his name signed tlnre-
to forces mo to revise my opinion , unless.
Indeed , I can excuse hint on the ground
that he Is disappointed , bore , mad , very
mad , and therefoie not responsible for
what he has written.
SOMK CATCaOHICAL DENIALS
1. It Is not true that I asked permission
to oust the county uttoinuy from the c-aao
referred to by Mr Lnmbcrtson. Nothing
was farther Irom my thoughts than any
discourtesy to .Mr Miingcr , and I do not
think that ho feels that 1 was discourteous
to him.
2. It Is untrue that I appeared for the
purpose of dismissing the quo wairatito
proceeding. This my motion clearly shows.
I was willing then , as I urn now , to have
the constitutionality Of thi > law tested , but
pending a de-termination I was unwilling
to have the fcanvtisslnp boaid RiigBed.
3 The disgruntled i > rlvtie counsel for
public wt digs' volunteers tnat the attorney
general now has all the power ho should
possess Befoio the value of this deliver
ance can be fully fathomed , the public
should Know whether It is put forth as
amlcus curlac1 pro bono punllco , or for the
Rood of the ek-republlcan olilclals short In
their cash accounts.
4. It la untrue that the attorney general
advised the disobedience of the Injunction ,
although he > lld express nn opinion that
the Injunction was" absolutely void But If
he had advised Its .violation , he could point
In JustificationofJ } his course to the ex
ample of one G M. Lambertson In the case
wherein the Lincoln city council was Im
prisoned for contempt for the disobedience
of an injunction Issued by Judge Biewer.
The supreme , court of the Urilted States
In that case 'declared that the Injunction
was ; void upon the. same ground upon
which I sought to put this case , to-wlt
That no property. Interest wits 'involved.
In that1 case1 Mr. Lambertson warf battling
for-n. great principle antUwon , while In this
casa ho Is battling for w ell , only .a. faw re-
pUbllcans. JT
G. It H untrue that the house of repre
sentatives violated the temporary Injunc
tion. Neither the house nor nny of Its
members were restrained fiom taking pos
session of the ballots. How tllen could they
violate the injunction ? They took posses
sion of them for safe keeping , because
they feared that by some revolutionary
process the ballots would be taken fr/mi
the state house. Mr. Lambertson will not
deny that ho and his conferees contem
plated such a move it they could procure
the means -necessary to accomplish the
nefarious end. But the house was too quick
for them , and hence those Lambertsonlan
shrieks of anger , and briny tears that , like
sprlntr freshets in the craggy Heckles ,
course down the cheeks of the bigattotney
pro bono publlcq.
SILENCU IS FOncnD ON THCM.
C. With a Corbett recklessness that would
make a timid man tremble , he clmllemres
the board to make Known the result of
the canvass. This Is bold of him , nnd
must command Hid admiration of every de
faulting ex-republican olllelal In the state ;
but has ho forgotten that his Injunction
prohibits the board from doing1 that which
ho challenges It to do ? He has gagged
them and then he challcng-es them to speak.
How brave ! What a lovn oC truth ho thus
displays !
7. The legislature did not take action look
ing toward the repeal of the canvassing
board law because either It or the attorney
general believed the law to bo unconstitu
tional , because neither believes It to be
such , but because the friends of the truth
those who wished that the will of the
people might bo ascertained became dis
gusted with the pestiferous Interference of
a brood of amlcl curlae attorneys pro bono
publlco nnd attorneys pro male publlco ,
and decided to put the matter beyond their
leach.
8. Mr. Lamberfson charges mo with un-
falineHs nnd violation of professional ethics.
Is this the same Lambertson vvho n few
nights ngo called up by telephone one of
the olllces nt the capltol and representing
lilmself us n Journal reporter sought , by
false pretense , to procure Information ? If
It Is , and I have no doubt of It , because
lie was detected In the act and confessed
Ills guilt , I mus > t decllno to square my pro
fessional conduct by his standard ,
0. Though all the power of the republican
party bo arrayed against It , the ballots
ivlll be counted , and If the nmendment
lias carried the two new- Judges will be
joatod If It takes all summer. The will
if the people must nnd shall prevail , though
Mr , Limbertson should again get mud and
'put It In the papers. "
