LINCOLN , Sept. 24.-Speclal.-The ( ) cer
tificate of nomination of the candidates se
lected by the sliver republicans was filed
with the secretary of state today. It Is
signed by A. J , Weaver , chairman , and P.
II. Hlncs , secretary , and certifies that John
J. Sullivan of Columbus was nominated for
ono of the Judges of the supreme court
nd George F. Kenowor "f Wlsncr and E.
Von Forcll of Kearney an regents of the
State university. The certificate , also states
that the party adopted a party emblem ,
to-wlt : "The efllgy or likeness of the Lib
erty Hell , with the word 'Liberty' appearing
thereon. ' It Hays that the distinctive prin
ciple nduptcd by said convention was and Is
the free coinage of silver. "
It U believed by prominent republicans
that the title "Silver Hepubllcan" over the
fusion ticket Is an encroachment on the
real republican title , uuder the now ballot
law , and that It Is alto calculated to de
ceive the voters. The republican state com
mittee ha made arrangement ! ) to Immedi
ately flic a protest against the using of tlie
deceptive title on Hie olllclal ballot. The
result of this protest is problematical , as
there Is seine division of opinion among the
fitatu house people as to the Intent and
scope of the ballot Inw relating to titles ot
parties. There U an expressed IntvnUin on
the part of some of the fuslonlsts to protest
against the using of the title "National
Democrat" on the ballot and they conccdo
< hat the silver republicans and the national
democrats are standing on the same ground
DH to encroachment on party names. A. E.
Sheldon , clerk of the State Printing board ,
and who stands very close 'to the board In
maltern of this kind , bays there Is much
doubt as to Umv the board will construe
the law. As an Individual hu says It makes
no dlfTcrcnco to him how many tickets there
arc on thi : ballot or by what names they are
called , yet he acknowledges that many voters
might be confused by the titles and that u
strict construction of the law might shut
out both the sliver republicans and national
democrats. Hcnton Maret , private secretary
of the governor , said some days ago thai
In his opinion thu uclng of illlToreiit names
by the fusion clement was all foolishness.
dlo believed that they all represented the
same principle , were In effect one party
and shuuld gut together under ono name.
llu thought U must Inevitably como to this
In the next year or two.
| TOO MANY DITCHES DUO.
Secretary Wilson of the State lloard of
Irrlgatluti has Just returned from Dawes and
Sioux cuunticH , where he has been Investi
gating the condition of the Irrigation ditches
and claims along While river and Hat creek.
" \Vhero thn land han had water hu finds that
the crops are flourishing , but In a general
way the Irrigation of that part of the state
is In a deplorable condition. He finds that
claims have been filed and ditches dug to
UKO tun times niqrc water than there In In
the streams. In many 'cases men have loca
ted ditches where they cannot possibly get
a drop of water. This Is especially true of
the country along White river In both Dawes
and Sioux countlcn. The secretary and his
assistants Inspected thu so-called river In
many places bolo\\ Crawford and found It to
tie a stream ot water varying from tbrec to
ten feet In width. In that locality the
strongest measurement only showed a flow
of twelve cubic feet of water per second.
On the estimate that It takes one cubic foot
per second to water seventy acres thuro Is
fiot enough water In the river at that point
to Irrigate 1,000 acres. Yet 'ho people there
ficcm to expect that ten t".c that much
laud can be watqred und huve | leil | claims
accordingly. In the lint Creek country the
conditions are a llttlo better , as the filings
ore mostly ot the heads of 'the streams where
thcru are flowing springs. Secretary Wilson
believes that a great many people In the
northwest part of the state must give up the
Idea of Irrigation and turn their attention
wholly to stockralslns , If thuy expect to re
main there.
The hearing in the case brought by T. II.
Tibbies against the railroad companies of
iho state. In which the question of exorbl-
tnat rates Is to bo examined Into , has been
adjourned to October 12 , The Inuring was

mudo because aji opinion la expected from the
federal court In the maximum rate case on

Armstrong paid over to htm $1,000 and when
the Investigators found that a shortage ex
isted he paid another thousand. Further
payments have cut the shortage to less than

Information as to the exact amount , In order

When the original shortage was ascertained
Dr. Armstrong made no denial of his lia
