Since the holding of the conventions in this county yesterday the situation has become - ? come more complicated n regarls the poo- ; erotic campaign for VcontresioIlal itgnti- nation , l3erge has the naming of tito pop- I . tihist ilciegates 011(1 will be enroful to select only such mcii as will stny with him to the Inst. On tim other hand the democrats ore opposO(1 to forge. nnl have intlorsed James Itlanahan , who also has the privilege of naming his deivgntes. The precaution was also taken to put Manahan at the hieaa ot : the ( lelegatlon to the state convention , ami the plan is to make it trade with the pop- V uiist delegates of the First diHtrict , the Lao- caster ilemocrats to work for the nomination of a populist for governor , In exchange for r which the PoPUhists of the district viil vote for Manahan for congFess at the Platts- mouth convention.

It no opportunity opcn for them they vill be satisiled with whatever stnali crumbs the other PoIocrats are pleased to dele out. but they have hopes that a deadlock in the congressional con- vontlon will bi broken by the nomination ot a 'silver reptiblicati , " It Is said that E. 1. . ) Fulton of Pawnco , A. J. Weaver of Richard- and W. 11. Price of Lancaster are all being groomed na ( lark horses , to be trotted out in stich an event. The popocrats of this city ore not feeling 'very good over the work or yesterday's con- ventions. They admit that the ticket se- V Iceted lies no chance of eleetion , but corn- plain that better men were not selected. The populists also blame the democrats for being so frank in the intlorsement or tli national administration In its conduct of the war , hoitling that this will induce smite of their % oters to support the republican ticket. The democrats have a grievance against the populist convention on account of the unfortunate mess it got Into on the . free pass question. Th13 has led Land Corn- missioner Wolfe to make a statement today that Ito did not meet with the resolutions committee and that ho bad no part in tram- log the resolution declaring for the abolition - tion of passes.
