LINCOLN , Oct. 0. ( Special ) The hearing
of the ballot protest cases before Iho sccre-
tnrj of state occupied the entire day. The
protest against the mo of the title "stiver
republican" occupied the forenoon , and the
contest for n name between the democratic
factions lasted all the afternoon , During all
that tlmo there were a large number of spec
tators of all political faiths who listened
carefully to the arguments and speculated as
to the probable decision by the secretary ,
The morning session was opened by Joacph
II. Webster , who had signed the protest
aga1 let the silver republicans. He called
nttcntlcn In particular to the past history ot
the republican parly , and said that In the
last election It was acknowledged to Imvo
cast at least the second largest vote In Iho
tit ( > . He conceded the right of a dlssitls-
f.ed element of any party to go out and form
a new party , but he dldTlot concede lo Ihcm
the right to line the old parly name. Those
who dp not support the platform or candi
dates of the republican party are not re-
ptibllcina at all. The men who now claim
< o be silver republicans wcrn stumping the
country for Ilrjan last > car. They did not
put up f tli-kct or platform last jcir , but
tmply endorsed the opposition party. For
< hat reason llioy had no claim on Ihe word
"republican. " Mr. Webster alto read from
the Cnntury dictionary the definition of the
word "any" to show that when the statute )
sajs no new party shall appropriate any of
the names of the old parties It means that
no put of the names shall be appropriated.
( Jcolgo W. Hlbncr of Lincoln spoke In
favor of the silver republican * He con-
londed lhat the voters would not be con
founded by the use of the title "silver repub
lican. " There ( wan no pretense that they
veto icpubllrans They hud adopted a plat
form of ihelr own , and had adopted a new
name. He agreed that fie voters had the
right to have a ballot pr'mted so that they
might casl their vote without being confuted
by complications , but In this case there
could be no confiMlr-n. The emblems were
all different , ami the Intelligent voter would
know that the silver republican party was n
Doparato and distinct organisation The
party had compiled with the law relative to
the formatlcn of new parties , and was en
titled to a place. The statute did not pro-
lilblt the use ot a part of the old part ) name
The distinction In llio names was as strong
JIB th distinction between Sam Jones and
John Jonrs
NOT uninniLicANs AT ALL.
C. M Lambertsou bald that the icpubllcan
part } had held Its convention , nominated Its
ticket and filed the certificates , and there
had been no piotcst H was acknowledged
to bo the republican party and had a right
to the exclusive use of the name. The silver
republicans seek lo convey to the voter the
Idea that they are still icpubllcans , nnd that
a vole cast for their ticket will be upholding
the gicat icpubllcin pilnclplcs and In addi
tion be a vote for the free coinage cf silver.
Tlila would be a deception The dominant
pilnclplcs of the republican party are sound
money and protection. The silver repub
licans are out of joint on all three questions
Instead of Icing In fact rcpubllcens , they
condemn the republican administration en
dorse all the hcrcslcB of the populist and
Bryan democratic parties , and jet seek to
draw votes by filching the good mine of the
republicans It was Intended to deceive the
vo'crs
Mr. Lnmbsrtson reviewed the actions , ot the
silver lemiblloans last year. They had voted
1 for W. J. Ilrjan , "a democi.it or populist , or
whatever you mav call him , " and after hav
ing been defeated last year vvero trying to
catch votes for the opposition by styling
thcmsclv'EB silver republicans. They had
jmulo no pretense of nominating republicans.
They had nominated for supreme Judge Mr.
Sullivan , a lifelong gold democrat , and yet
wanted to put his name under Ihe Utle "sll-
\cr republican. " Ho did not question the
lionesty of the republicans who believed In
free silver. They had a right to believe as
they pleased. If the republicans had en
dorsed free coinage at the last national elec
tion , the sp'akor declared ho would have
flocked by himself. A man has n right to do
as ho pleases , but he has no right to confuse
other voters by adopting a name that docs
not mean what It says and which Is pro
hibited by the stalute. The contention lhat
the voters would all bo able to distinguish
lotvveon the parties was not true. Governor
Jlolcomb himself had never been able to tell
the dlffciencc between a. republican and a
ellvor republican. The three fujlon elements
, were all united , worshiped one god and sub
scribed to the same tcnctn.
James W. Carr of Omaha made the closing
talk for the silver people. He contended
atrongly for the right to use Iho word rc-
f jiublkun and entered Into a discussion on
the Intent of the statute and upon dcclslonb
made In other states. He admitted that the
silver .republican party did not assume to
bo republican In any sense of the word.
It wn.s a d'stlnct parly and Iho man who
could nol tell the difference was not cn-
illlcd to the right of franchise.
Mr. Lambertsoa replied In ft discussion on
the Intent and meaning of the statute , after
iwlilch the hearing was adjourned. The de
cision was withheld until alter the protest
t * against the national democrats should be
IP lieard. DEMOCRATS HAVI3 AN INNING.
The case wherein Iho democratic party
protested against the use of the name by
the national democrats was heard In the
aftorno.ni. It was opened by I. J. Dunn , who
Ir. order to bring out the history of the
political parties ot the state called J. A.
Duhlinan to the stand to give testimony.
Air. Dahlman told of the course adopted

rocKnlze < l the existence of Another demo
cratic party The organization now calling
Itfolf iho "national democratic" party had
originated In 1 9I and had continued up to
thin time , tils recollection wag that an or
ganization had been maintained and stale
committees had been appointed each year.
The nr&t split In the democratic party had
occurred In 1894 at the state convention ,
after Bryan had been endorsed for United
Shies tcnator and Holcomb endorsed for
governor. Mr. Dahlman admitted that the
national democratic wing had adopted a plat
form this jear which was In harmony with
( ho IndlDiiipolls platform and that II had
not nomlnitcd republican * or populists to
office. He also admitted , on cross-etamlna-
tlon , that taut jcar the electors of the silver
democrats had been pledged lo cast four
votes for Bryan and Scvtall and four for
Drjan and Watson.
Trank Hdler. secretary of the national
democratic committee , was also called by
Mr , Dunn to testify as to the action of the
recent convention which nominated Wool-
north. Mr. Heller said that the resolution
authorizing the executive committee to nil
vacancies had been presented In writing to
the convention by Mr , Mahoncy and had
been adcptel unanimously by the convention ,
He said tint ho was a delegate to the con-
venton. The delegates had been selected by
the slntc committee of the part } .
Mi' . Dunn. In his argument , raid that the
ccitltlcate of nomination of Mr. Snltzler had
not been made according to law. The stat
ute had not. conferred upon the executive
committee of any party the right to tclcct
any candidate. The convention had author
ized the ccnlral committee to fill vacancies
and that authority had been delegated to an
other committee. The law said vacancies
must be filled by a committee selected by the
convention. The executive committee was a
sub-committee and had no existence at the
tlmo the convention was held. The executive
committee had been authorlcd by the con
vention , but had not been selected bj the
delegates thereof , rurthcr continuing his
argument .Mr. Dunn said that the so-calloil
democratic party hid no rlghl lo use Ihe
word "democrat. " There was only one dem
ocratic tarty and It was a national party.
There'\\as nothing In the word "national" to
distinguish one iwrty from the other. T'ic
use of the same would deceive the votorn.
They had no right to use the word "demo
crat. " The law hid been passed by the legis
lature to prevent such an action on the part
of a political party.
SAWYER EXPLAINS THE SITUATION.
Mr. Sawjcr , for the national democrats ,
said that this was tbo fourth time the rights
of his party had been contested. Up to 1SU4
there had been no question as to what was
the democratic paity. It had always r.ict
and dominated democrats. In 1S34 the con
vention hud seen III to nominate a populist
for olllco and those who believed themselves
to bo democrats withdrew from the conven
tion. Since then they had maintained an
organisation nnd had cast more than 1 per
cent of the \oto. This jcar his party had
adopted a platform different from that of any
other organl/atlon , but which was in har
mony v ith past platforms and principles of
the democratic part } . It was the same
party , but the liw passed b > the last legisla
ture lud made It necessary to adopt a name
different from that of other organizations
Ho could endorse the argument used by the
counsel of the silver republican party this
forenoon , InvHch they claimed that the law
did not prohibit them from using part of
the name of another party. The argument
that no part of a name could be used was
an absurdltj , as It would in event the using
of any let er In the name. The speaker
Know of no national democratic party except
the one to which ho belonged. Theie had
formerly been n national democratic party ,
but It had gone out of existence some time
ago. In the use of the title now adopted
no voter would be contused. They had not
endorsed the nominees ol some other party
i'licre was no mixing up of parties. Men had
been nominated whose politics could not be
' [ uestloned. The argument by Mr Dunn that
the executive committee could not name Mr
Swltzler was extremely technical. In ac
cordance with decisions made In other states
thene points should be liberally construed.
Mr. Dunn closed the argument , In which
ho reiterated many or the statements he had
made In the opening. He called attention
to the fact that at one time the democrats
had nominated a republican for president ,
and In state politics some of the men who
were now claiming to be national democrats
had favored the nomination or endorsement
ot republicans. He concluded with an argu
ment to show that the use of the title , "na
tional democrat" would tend to deceive the
voter.
OVERRULES .BOTH . PROTESTS.
The secretary of state announced his de
cision In the case tonight. In which he held
that both the silver republicans and national
democrats could prcperly appear on the bal
lot. He considered the silver republican
case first , and formally icclted the proceed
ings by which the cahowas brought. Con
tinuing' , he said that after hearing the ar
guments of the counsel and carefully eiam-
Inlng the law ho had come to the con
clusions :
Fiist : An oiganUatlon cilllng themselves
sliver republicans luiri n-ssombled In the city
of Lincoln under a call and with the
number of delegates requhed by law ,
nmdo their nomination * ) nnd adopted a
party emblem and adopted the party name
of "Silver Republican Party. " to appear
on the otllclnl ballot as "Silver Repub
licans" The chin gt ! that thi > designation 1 =
deceptive , and whether from Intent or other
wise. Is liable to deceive the voters Is In
my judgment not vv * > H founded , for the ron-
son Unit the silver republican organization
severed lt elC from tKe regular republican
party Sjolily upon the Ksuo of two fiee coin
age of hilver , find I can conceive of no name
they mlplit have adopted to better express
their political ht Hiding than "Silver Re
publicans. "
Taking Into consideration the fact that
under our present form of ballot each ticket
or net of ptrty candidates will lie printed
In .1 separate column , with a distinct p.iity
emblem , nnd for the reimon aforesaid that
the very name adopted by the oigtinlzatloh
aforesaid designate * the tine difference br > -
Ivvt-eii them nnd the regular republican
party , 1 am constrained to believe tbnt
there Is no reason why any voter HhouUl be
deceived by tile aforesaid pirty name
Therefore I nm compsllcd to ilnd that the
protest cf the nforraa'd J. 11. Webster l.s
not well founded nnd Is hereby overruled
and that the nf ores i 111 candliltites of the
nuty calling themselves "S'lver Repub
licans" may properly appear on the olllclal
ballot under the designation of "Silver Re

CALLS DEMOCRATS DECEIVERS.

RAPID CITY , S. D. , Oct. fl. ( Special. )
"Yes. " said u prominent'etockman of this
city , "this IK our Inning. Not for jcars
have the in Ices for stock been so good , nnd
In my opinion the top notch has not been
reached yet. Slnco early full feed bujcrs
from the east-lnvo been scouring our ranges
paying exorbitant prices for young stock ,
Last year many of the big stockmen rounded
up their 1 nnd 2-jear-olds and shipped them
down Into Nebraska and loua , where they
worn fattened on cheap corn This fall
the farmers arc coming themselves and buyIng -
Ing for their own Investment. The ranges
are In pilmo condition , but a question that
Is confronting us stockmen with consider
able force Is how to keep In the cattle buHl-
IICFH next jear when wo nro selling olT all
our beef cattle , our cows , heifers and calves.
I have seen the tlmo when calves were
killed when first born on the range because
It did not pay to lalso them. Last week
I sold 120 from three days to a month old
for $12 a head , and I supposn I shall regret
the sale before spring There has never
been any trouble heretofore In buying all
the joung stock wanted from the Texas and
Mexico rangcn , but next spring 11 will be
different. The chance of replacing our slock
will be poor , I look for a rlee of a cent on ,
feeders before spring1. The man who keeps
hla young stock for another year will have
a better thing than a Klondike strike , The
ranges will be better this winter than for
several jears because there will bo less
feeding on them. Young stock Is command
ing from $10 to $15 more this fall than lasl.
All fclgnt ) point to a severe winter , bul there
will nol bo Iho lots this season that there
was last because there Is more water and
feed. "
