Joy pervades the camp of the Jacksonlan
liosse-s and corresponding gloom hovers over
the ranks of the County Democracy. The
grrat battle for supremacy In democratic
affairs Is over. There was a brisk fight In
every ward In the city , with the exception
of the Third , where the Jacksonlans put
up no delegation , but notwithstanding that '
It went Into the fight with the nine dele- (
Kates from that ward assured to 11. The _
County Democracy withdrew from the field i
last night maimed , bruised nnd beaten. |
Down around County Democracy headquarters - j
quarters the air WHS full of angry denun
ciation of the methods employed 'by ' the |
victors , as the vanquished recalled how It j
wns done. Harry Miller was heard declarIng - '
Ing that It had cost the Jacksonlans $3,000
to $10.000 to carry the primaries. Joe Hut- |
ler reduced the amount to $1,500 , which he I
eald the Herdmnn boya had collected from
the brewers nnd gamblers. There was no
disguising the fast that the leaders of the
new ami ambitious democratic organization
were mad. They were despondent as well
as mad after the returns had come In suffi
ciently to Indicate the dlro results that at
tended their cause.
Briefly stated , the result of the combat
is that the Jacksonlans will control the
convention by a vote of about 33 to 2S. it
was stated around the victors' place of ren
dezvous last evening that the result menus
the nomination of cither Frank J. Ilurkley
or W. S. Poppleton for mayor , although the
Touty.)1 Democracy mode its fight with
Ilurkley as its chief card. Enthusiasm and
other nnd more tangible effervescent cx-
hllarants were flowing freely around Jack
sonlan headquarters nnd the recriminations
of the vanquished were lightly considered.

In the First ward John Drcxel , who was
the only democrat who had been named for
councilman , led the fight for the County
'
Democracy and succeeded In squeezing but
one lonesome follower of his cause Into the
convention. Oeorge Sautter , a member of
the County Democracy delegation , beat Fred
Albrecht out by two voies. There were
174 votes cast and the eighteen candidates
received from seventy-nine to eighty-nine ,
vottfi. The delegation comprises : Walter
Ilrandes , Allle McCatm. John Shrahan , Sam '
I Hayues , John P. Mulvlhlll , John W.

r Sfcoiul Ward.
In the Second ward the Herdman crew
won out 'by ' a round margin , as this was con
ceded to be their ward , and the enemy con
centrated Its strength in its nssaaults upon
kopjes that were deemed niore vulnerable. !
There were 30S votes cant , the respective
candidates receiving about 195 to S3. The
average majority of the Jacksonlan delegates - I
gates was 115. Ono peculiarity of the pri !
mary was CKut David L. Shananan. who was j i
on the winning ticket for councilman and :
who had no opposition , received but 77 votes.

Democracy delegation had no opposition , the
delegation comprises : L-ysle I. Abbott , John
Reeves , Jerry McMahon , James A. Finch ,
George Yager , Frank II. Seymour , John D. I
Green , Dan T. Custer , William Atkin. Some j 1
one had made the assertion during the evening -
ing that the Herdman crowd claimed that
it would control five or six votes in that
delegation , but members of the County
Democracy were offering all kinds of coin
that the Third ward will be solid as put up.
Foorlh Ward.
Harry Miller and Ixjuis Plattl were lead
ing the fight for the County Democracy in
the Fouth word , while against them were

Fifth Word.
The center of the engagement was In the
Fifth ward , where the doughty chieftain ,
Colonel Molse , his lieutenant. Harry Hayward -
ward , and numerous other tried warriors
were lined up against I. J. Dunn. Fred H.
Cosgrove. Harry O'Neill and a host of young
Jacksonians. The odds were largely against
Moise In the matter of ward workers , and
the numerous strategic movements of the
enemy In soaking his Burkley powder and
spiking Howell gur.s. left him at the mercy
or the enemy , who relentlessly punished
every advantage , fair or unfair. When the
tiinoke of battle cleared away 201 votes had
been cast. The Jacksonlan list had tallied
from 113 to lift each , while ) the Moise dele
gation ran only from SI to S8. The win
ning delegation comprises :

the effect that the delegation endorsed
should bo for no porticular candidate for

The "bounds of friendly rivalry" do not' '
appear to be wldo enough to completely
compass the- raging controversy that stirs
the democracy. The publication of the
letter whereby Walter Molse held Up some
twenty-three democrats for funds aggre
gating $250 to be presented to Editor Oem
Paul Melcalfe has stirred up the Ire > of the
latter to the fighting pitch against the.
Jacksonlans. Diligent Inquiry Is In progress
to ascertain which ono of the twenty-three
contributors has given up the secret of
Metcalfo's quiet donation party. Mr. Met- !
ealfo being , as was Intimated In the re
markable literary effusion of Colonel Molfie ,
"a man of modest Inclination. " ' was natu
rally In hearty sympathy with the desire of
Colonel Molso to make the presentation "a
quiet affair , " and resents the publicity given
the episode so energetically that , being
unable to charge It up against any Indi
vidual admirer , has laid It at the door of
the whole Jacksonlan club , when in fact
sump of the leading members of that organi
zation are as much worried over the matter
an Is Motcalfe himself.
"The railroads and local franchlsed cor
porations are going to have a hand In tne
democratic city convention before we get
through. Just put that down , " said a demo
crat yesterday usually on the Inelde with
the'corporations. "They are going to see
to It If possible that the democrats put up
a man for mayor who Is In touch with them i
and upon whom they can rely. That Is !
why they don't want Durkiey. They say hn
changes his mind too often or is not on hand
when they want him most. They may not !
be mixing much In the primaries , but just
watch them capture the delegations after '
they are elected and swing them In for their j
own man. Most of us supposed these cor
porations were going to force llowcll on us
again , but now It looks as If the deal were
for Governor Doyd or Captain Rustln. Who
ever their man Is the stuff will be on tan
to persuade the delegates who happen to be
elected to fall In line. That's a quiet tip
for the uninitiated. "
There Is to be a contest on the Sixth
ward delegation In the populist county con- (
ventlon. It will bo between the Huther-
ford delegation and what Is known as tha
Dawes-WIUon Deaf and Dumb Institute ad
ministration delegation. E. F. Rutherford ,
who led the contest for the delegation
which bears his name , Is a candidate for the
nomination for councilman. It won out by
a score of about 30 to 16. but the judged
permitted to vote a numbur of populists -who
were- registered as "Independent. " The ad
ministration delegation claims to have can
vassed the members of delegations from the
other wards , and claims that a majority
of them are In favor of rejecting the Ruth
erford delegation on account n' acceptance
of Independent votes at the primaries. The
Rutherford men contend thai when a man
was registered "Independent" ho had at
least a part of the name of the people'i :
independent party opposite his name , which
he did not have when he was registered
aa a populist.
Owing to the darkling hints of the County
Democracy leaders that the Jncksonians
I
were keeping a mayoralty candidate under
cover , to he sprung after the primaries , Ed
Howell has again burst Into print with a
declaration that ho believes it to be to the
best interests of the democratic party and
the fusion forces of Omaha that his name
shall not be used in connection with the
nomination and that he will not allow it to
bo so ueed as that of a candidate for mayor.
This is tough on an afternoon Journalistic
political eeer who could see Mr. Howell
forging rapidly to the front in the race. But
Hewell never was known to refuse anything
that was within his reach.
The social democracy has decided to stik
to Its original intention of putting no city
ticket In the field and Its memebers will
be at liberty to select such candidates as
best suit them , having In view the question
of municipal ownership.
OMAHA , Feb. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee : It is apparent from the size and char
acter of the attendance at the republican
ward meetlnga that the voters are deeply
interested in the coming city election.
While the principal interest centers In the
. mayoralty contest the taxpayer has a keen
I Interest In the selection of candidates for
the city council. The counctlmcn elected
for the coming three year ? . In addition to
the important duties necessarily devolving
upon tht-ui. will control the expenditure of
the $3,000,000 for the purchase of the water
works plant.
Men who arc above tnibplclon , men of hon
esty and popularity must be selected for
these positions. Chronic office-seekers and
office-holders cannot be elected. It matters
not how good a man may be placed at the
head it the ticket , the republican party can
not hope to win if certain of the self-con
stituted candidates for the council from the
different wards are given places on the
ticket.
But good men are llablo to bo crowded
out under the rule adopted by the repub
lican city central committee. If I under
stand the Import of the rule It is this : Can
didates for council may place their namca
upon the primary tickets In their riRpectlvo
wards , and the candidate receiving the
I'ighest number of votes will receive the
support of the delegation In the ; convention.
What a bid for the wirepuller and boo.ller !
Can * elf-reai > eetlns business men be ex
pected to enter Into such a contest ? Would
it not be 'better to select delegations of
representative uuslnetp men and leave It to
their JiulKmrut to select our candidate * ) Jn
the convention ? It will not do 'or repub-
\\cn\vt \ \ \ to rely on the numerical itrangt1'
of the party for success and we rojit not
underestimate the political sagacity tf the
opposition In Its selection of candidates.
If tie delegation from any ward in the
city comes to the convention with nn un-
vorthy candidate for the city council or any
other office , It Is the Imperative duty of
the convention , to turn him down , If the re
publican party , In convention assembled ,
does not. the buslnot * men nnd the tax
payer will do co on election day.A .

A chorus of eighty voices , led by the su

Uounod's celebrated "Oallla" Thursday night
nt the First Methodist church. The choir of
this church nnd of St. Mary's Avenue Con

chorus and the result was a feast to lovers
of sacred cnuelc. Reinforced by the great |
pipe organ , It approached grand opera In
dignity. The attendance , however , was not
ns gooj. as the projectors had reason to hope.
In point of size It was a grand opera audi
ence.
The organ solo. "Carmen , " played by
Thomas J. Kelly , displayed to the best ad
vantage the wonderful resources of the pipe
organ. He played also with gcod effect three j
"dance forms , " the minuet , gavotte and shep
herd dance.
Miss Gertrude Kountzo sang n soprano
solo , "A Seng of Thanksgiving , " and the
generous applause which followed was'evi

not respond. The tenor solo , "The Holy |

KeforeoV. . 11. Hcrdmnn today will nn-
nounce the total nmouni of claims pre
ferred and unpreJcrrcd illeil against the
Greater America Exposition association.
This report is subject to review by the dis
trict court and the probability U that It will
not bo permitted to KQ unchallenged. On
account of the provision of the law making
labor claims payable in full before other
claimants tnn participate in n division of the
bankrupt's estate each creditor who has the
least color of claim Is attempting to show
that his Is a labor claim. This was Htrelched
so far In one case that a newspaper pub
lisher in Uncoln made out his bill "for
work and labor In advertising , " and con
tracting painters ami others have cndcav-
orcd to come under the labor clause.
Th ( * > e bills have not all been listed with
the unpiefcrred claims , but the claimants
will bo given an opportunity to prove tht'lr
right for preference before the referee. The
question of what constitutes a "work and
labor claim" under the bankruptcy net has
never been finally determined , ninny law
yers holding that before such a claim can
be established the relation of master and
servant must have existed between the
bankrupt and the claimant , while other law
yers maintain that the claim can be proven
under the labor clause In any case where
work and labor have been performed by the
claimant The distinction will be closely
drawn In the case now before the referee ,
as upon the decision may depend the chance
of the unquestionably unpreferred creditors
receiving n. dividend. The referee has made
no derision In nny of the contested claims ,
as he desires to hear arguments , but It Is
said that ho has Intimated to some of the
attorneys for claimants who are seeking to
prove labor claims of a questionable char
acter that they will have to bring forward
good authority before they can prove their
claims as they desire.
