LINCOLN. Neb. , Sept. * . 1SD7. lion J. H.

Party , Lincoln , Nib. ; Aiy ieur Sir You
Inform me that otic of the -ounty judges of
the Htute "has announced that he will rule
that the peoplu'n Independent r/.irty nnd the
dctnocriitri were one party lust full , " be
cause , IIH ho nlleges , he "cannot tell from
the returns whlcll each party casts , " nnd
you nsk me whether or uui his position !
correct In point of law
While the law makes It tiio duty of the
county Judge to uppolnt "one Judgu of elec
tion from tlic party polling thu highest num
ber of votes nt the last genual election
In thu jireelnot. itnc1 one judge from the
party polling the next highest number of
votes ut the InHt general election In thu
puclnct , and one judge from the party poll
ing thu third lilirliesi number or votes ut
the last general election In the precinct" It
docs not Kiiy that hu In to determine the
rank of tncu party from the poll llsti ; nor
iloc.i It say lion he is to dctennlm * It.
Therefore , the pnity seeking to cHtnbllsh
Its light to n Judge of election may offer
uny evidence competent to provo thu fact
To Illustrate : Suppoau the only vote cast
In a given precinct was for the riinibllcan
ticket and the allied populist unu demo
cratic ticket , n ml that the republican vote
wat kept 8C | > irate , but the populist and
dumocratlc vntu was not so kipl In Pitch
a CIIHO | f the populists call , say , llvo men
and provo by them that they voted as pipu.
llsit In that precinct for thu populist noinl-
nuis , and If thu Jeinocrut.s cull , say , four
men and prove by them that they voted In
that precinct as democrats for thu demo
cratic iiomliii'LH thu right of the populists
anil thf right rlf thti democrats to one Judge
each would be established
But tlilH Involves much luboi and should
not bo required Every county Judgu should
take knowledge of thu fact foi every In
telligent man UIIOVVH It to bo a fact that the
democratic nnd populist parlies hid nil ex
istence lu 1'iieh prvelnet at the last general
election , that e ich had a ticket in the Held
( the democrats nominated four electors and
( ho populists four ukctois ) , and that each
cast some vetcH theiefor. Hy pursuing thl"
oourso the lUmocriitlc , populist and repub
lican parties would each bu entitled 'to ' one
Judge
In tbo event that the gold democrats or
either branch of the prohibition party claim
a Judge , then It would bu necessary to call
vvltnusKeH to prove that Llther thu populists
or demoi rats , or both , as the t.ise might be ,
polled more , If that be the fact , than cither
the gold democrats or either branch of the
prohlbltlunlstu The law vesting thu county
Judges with the power to appoint Judges
and clerk" of election Is a good one because
It Isvcll calculated to pioduce honest eke
tian bo inls anil hence Honest elections and
no imn desiring th it result , lie he Judge or
layman , .should put any tiling In the way
of t iu enfoi cement of the law Neither
should any party be deprived on n techni
cality of Its right to representation on the
bo ir I The law should bo liberally con
strued to subserve the right of each party
to it rcprehentatlve.
If , however , county Judges nro found who
nro bent upon tbo annulment of the law , or
who are disposed to twist It into the service
of party purposes , they .should be taught
their duty through a. writ of mandamus
Issued by the district court of their district
Very truly yours. C J. SMYTH.

This fact was again demonstrated at the den
of the king last evening , when no loss limn

place for their meetings next year , and this
fact , together with the addltlonil fact that

The people of Omaha who have not seen
a horbelcss carriage will have the opportu
nity to see the much advertised wonder in
practical operation upon the streets of this
city henceforth. The new vehicle Is owned
and will be used by W. F. Stoecker , the
Douglas street cigar man. Yesterday the
new metropolitan acquisition was given Us
initial trip and attracted much attention
The vehicle will be used largely to advertise
the Carnation cigar for which Mr Stoecker
Is agent , but it will also be employed for
pleasure Jaunts over the streets and boule
vards of the city
The carriage is the product of Dunz ft Son
of Mannheim , Germany , and Is a duplicate
of the machine which carried off thu honors
In the Paris road race for horseless car
riages which occurred about a year ago It
Is built to carry two passengers and Is pro
pelled by a gafiollnu motor of one and one-
half horse power The motor under pressure
can send the carriage over a level load at
the rate of twunty miles an hour. In ap
pearance It Is neat and graceful. Small
skeleton bicycle wheels , running on ball
bearings , reduce the friction of the running
gear to a minimum , and the motor Is light
yet very powerful. The motor Is placed Im
mediately behind the seat and Is entirely
concealed from view by a casing over the
rear axle The whole rig weighs but 750
pounds and Is valued at $ BOO. It Is steered
and the machinery operated with levers
with as little exertion as In driving aa or
dinary horse.
Yesterday nearly forty miles were covered
by the carriage , and It was found that It
ascended ordinary grades with ease. The
machine Is at present In charge of J. Simmer -
mor of Chicago , who will Instruct Its new
owner in the methods of operating It. The
carriage has been exhibited In Indianapolis ,
St Paul , Minneapolis and other large cities ,
.but will become a fixture In this city hence
forth.
