LINCOLN . Aug. IT. ( Special ) The nom
inations of both parties have been made In
the First district and the campaign is openIng -
Ing up. The nominees are both young men ,
and their plans are alike In that they will
make a careful personal canvass ot the dis
trict. The popocrats at the state house are
trying to figure out on paper a victory for
Manahan , but many difficulties are met with ,
ven In this simple way of winning an
election. The statisticians have figured
that last year the vote for supreme Judge
was as follows Pout , 1G.30S , Sullivan , 15-
521. Strong ( prohlb. ) . 401 Swltzler ( dem. ) ,
94 , rfcatterlng. 10. This they find to look
promising , as It gives Sullivan a plurality
of 213 In the district But the chances for
popocratlc succe's gro-v less when the vote
on regents is taken Into consideration.
Kaley received the most votes on the re
publican ticket 15 403 This was Just 603
more than Von Terrell received and a still
larger majority over Kenower. It Is con
ceded on all sides that Sullivan ran ahead
of his ticket all over the district. A month
ago the Edmlsten state committee figured
out that the natural republican majority in
the district would be TOO. Thu republicans ,
however , do not place the figures so low-
am ! claim that th > re A 111 be a great change
from the vote of last year
Campnlun Crle * that Failed.
All through the First district last year
the Bortley embezzlement cry was worked
for all It was worth and the voters were
assured by the popocratic orators that if the
republicans were successful the defaulting
treasurer would be turned loose. This had
( some effect on the vote Another means ot
gaining votes resorted to by the popocrats
in the district was to declare to the people
ple that the "prosperity would not last. "
As It turns out , every proposition advanced
by the fuslonlsts has been wrong and there
Is a great change of sentiment In the dis
trict. This Is especially true among the
foreign voters. They cannot be fooled
again on the money question id they know
prosperity when they see It. Then there
is much talk among the Germans and Bo
hemians about the prohibition proclivities
of Poynter and State Superintendent Jack
son , which Is not lessened by the explana
tions offered by th fuslonlsts. They have
heard of Poynter's record nnd they have
learned that Jackson was a third party pro
hibitionist previous to the time -when the
fusion party discovered him and they are
not slow In seeing through the lame ex
cuses now being mode.
Ono Instance of the change In the for
eign vote comes from Otoe county. Down
near Syracuse there Is a precinct where
two years ago seventy German voters
avowed themselves In favor of the fusion
party. This fall there are just seventeen
fustonlsts among the Germans of that pre
cinct , the others having ranged themselves
In the ranks of the republican party.

The city council la contemplating the pur
chase of an additional fire engine , as It has
been found that at a large Qr < * the water
pressure is Insufficient. A new embarrass
ment has arisen from the fact
that the present force of firemen
Is to small to spare any men to
handle the new engine. The city possesses
Uo chemical engines , but it Is seldom that
either one Is used. A proposition to sell one
of them does not meet with favor among the
cotincllmen , and the chief of the fire de
partment has advinceil a plan to combine
om * of the chemicals with a hose cart , which
would so adjust the force that there would
be men to handle the new engine. It has
long been apparent that the city , has too
many chemical engines and too little water
pressure.

sought the nomination , but he was a repub
lican and thoroughly appreciated the honor

do what he could for the election of the

NORFOLK , Neb. . Aug. IT. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Third district congressional
convention of the fusion parties was helc
In this city last night , and at about '
o'clock this morning John S. Robinson of
Madison was nominated for congress by the
democrats and the populists. The free sil
ver republicans refused to endorse the nom
ination and adjourned expressing their de
termination of having Samuel Maxwell , the
present Incumbent , run Independent.
The plan provided by the fusion bosses
called for a Joint convention of the three
parties when the tlmo for balloting should
arrive. Numerous conference committees
were appointed and much time con
sumed In preliminaries after the three
convention's had each ben organized In
separate bolls , and majority and minority
reports referred to the conventions and much
wrangling and considerable bitterness re
sulted. The latter was particularly notice
able In the free silver convention. The
democrats and populists finally met In Joint
convention , and the nomination of John S.
Robinson waa the result. The delegation's
of two counties , Dlxon and Cedar , declined
to vote on roll call , but nevertheless the plan
of the leaders as mapped out in advance waa
carried through.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
Large Attendance of Dlntlnitnliheit
Men from All Pnrt * of
the Conntrr.
SARATOGA X. Y , . Aug. 17 The Amer-
can Bar association began Ita annual ses-
alon here today. There was a large at *
.emlnnce of distinguished members of the
bar from all parts of the country. The
jresldent. William Wtrt Howe , of Louis-
ana , mtulo the annual address.
In the course of his address President
William Wlrt Howe sold
In reviewing the work of federal legisla
tion during the last year we are at onca
confronted with questions of war , annexa
tion and conquest. To those of us who
took part In thu late civil war and knew
ft hat real war meant It seemed unfortunate
that our nation should be again subjected
to A trial by wager of battle. Dut the trial
came and we could only stand together , each
In his own way , for the flag. There U no
use to disguise the evils of such a conflict.
But we may look also at the compensations
of calamity. If we have yellow Journal
ists and Jingo politicians , who ply their vo
cation at a safe distance from the range of
e\en modern projectiles , we have also such
men as Dewey of Vermont , Sampson of New
York , Schlcy of Maryland , Hobson of Ala
bama and Augtistln of Louisiana as types
of American manhood If I were to name
them all -\ould simply be calling a roll
of thousands of heroes from north , south ,
8t and west and wo feel that now , at
least , we ha\e a common country , wherein
wo may forget our controversies In the past
and together press forward to some better
and higher national lift * Thu
continued use of wartare In modern days
ands between nations pretending to be
Christian ! s one of those paradoxes that may
well Justify the philosophy of Schopenhauer
Manifestly it Is a survival of savagery As
the human race has become slowly civilized ,
prlvato wartare has become almost abel
ished. There was a time , no doubt , when
what the Jurists call "self-help" waa re
sorted to for the purpose of enforcing pri
vate rights of < s\ery kind , and we may well
Imagine Iti advocates resisting the estab
lishment of courts , that is. of arbitration
In prhate matters with many of the same
arguments substantially that we now- hear
In opposition to International action of a
similar kind ,
The subject of International arbitration Is.
of course , not free from difficulty , and It
Is often misunderstood or even mlssta'cd
In popular discussion No one will deny
the right of self-defense to nations. It has
never been denied to individuals evcnwh're
'self-help" ' baa been most stringently pro
hibited Nor does any one prooose , so far
as I know , to undertake to apply the princi
ples of arbitration as between a civilized
nation on the one hanti and a people on
the other 30 barbarous as not to be able
to appreciate or observe those principles
A people may be so savage that they must
be dealt with as we deal with unruly chil
dren. Nor do we- propose to move too
rapidly in this Important matter for It Is
believed that all true and abiding progress
is necessarily deliberate All we ask for
is constant and sincere effort in a true di
rection. It Is too late for any one to nay
that International arbitration is not pra"I-
cable. It has been succe sfully tried many
times during the last thirty years
The movement In the right direction has
certainly begun. We simply ask that It go
on. We know that war is sometimes a
dread necessity anil we yield precedence
to no man or class of men in devotion to
our common country when she deems it
necessary to draw the sword. And
yet we know that there is "a more excellent
way ' "War may be necessary sometimes ,
but It Is cruel and savage
"And who love's war for war's own sake
Is fool , or crazed or worse '
At the best war Is a crude and temporary
means to attain some result that might
often be attained by better methods. The
ultimate object must always be peace ,
which alone can be enduring and fruitful
and. In the last analysis , thu question must
always be must we reach this peace through
the valley of the shadow of fire and sword
and death , or by some better path'
The address of welcome was made by
Chief Justice Alton Parker of the court of
appeals.
