LINCOLN, May 8. ISpo.-laU Krom the
sentiment gathered through exprcsMons of
politicians who make Lincoln their clearing
house, the- action of tho recent republican
utato convention eccmn to be moulding opin
ion In several new dlroilons. There In no
question hut what the democrats' ami pop
ulists who center around the elate houo
are evincing signs of satisfaction over the
endorsement of Senator Thurston, which
they export to use with telling eflcct during
the campaign."
"Nothing bettor could have happened to
u," said one of them, "thin to have tho
republicans refuse all of the advice given
them by ihulr more far-slghtod leaders to
the effect that tho endorsement of Senator
Thurston would leave open to question the
good faith of their platform declarations
against trusts. We democrats propose 10
push tho trust Issue to the front In this
fctate. We have been leading up to that for
months, all of Attorney General Hmyths
wirk In Instituting proceeding agalnm the
Standard Oil company and other combina
tions being directly with that In view. We
proposo to show that wo have mado deter
mined efforts to enforce the antl-tnut laws
and have been blocked by the Interference
of republicans. If we cannot make hmlway
with that all nur expectations will have been
misplaced."
The popocrats seem also tn havn drawn
new encouragement recently In their quest
for thn capture of the legislators. A man
who was turned down by the govrrnor for
an appointive position, who was In tho city
recently, showed your rorrcspondent ft let
ter which he hail received anil which ho
said meant that the democrat wtre going
to make un extra effort to have democratic
candidates Instead of populists put on tho
fusion legn-latlvc tickets In order that they
might have a preponderance, of fusion mem
bers of the legislature, should they succeed
In Rccurlng a majority of that body and
thereby insure the election of at leant one
Jomocrat to tho United Statin senate and
perhaps two.
CnmpnlKn for the I.CKlsliitiirc.
Tho letter, which Is on n World-Herald
Icttnr head and dated at Omaha, reads as
follows:
Dear Sir: I am sending thin letter to rep
resentative democrats In nil port of thn
sliile mid I will greatly appreciate It if you
will give It your iittentlou and favor mo
with il reply. In 1S!H tho fusion forces lost
thn legislature partly for the reason that
no effective organized work whs undertaken
In time to save It. On the other Imml the
republican managers brought about the
nomination of their strongest cundldntcs
In Hut doubtful districts anil by a well
organized campaign captured the legisla
ture This year t.ie republicans will make
even more strenuous efforts, as two sena
torslilps in Nebraska are at stake, Instead
of ot The repuMIenn managers nre
quietly engaged In preliminary wntk to
eapturo the legislature, I'pnn our side we
should. In my opinion, begin to consider,
discus and prepare for the campaign to In
sure a fusion majority In thn legislature
and 1 take the liberty of asking for such
Information ixt- you may have and for such
opinions as you may have formed. What Is
the situation In your county? lias there
been any discussion of legislative candi
dates for this year? Will you favor me, in
confidence, with your onlnlon of the
strength or availability of the probable can
didates for the legislature In your county
nnd,tn-la,who In. .your opinion should he
nominated for the senate and the house In
your dls-trlcf.' Will there bo any dtlllculty
In effecting fusion In your county? I.'pon
whnt basis will that fusion probably bo
made? If ou will look Into the local situa
tion fully and write me freely I will greatly
appreciate it. I enclose a stamped en
vclopo for teply. Yours truly.

Krom this It seems that any Idea that tho
republicans will catch tho fimlonlsts nap
ping will have to be dispelled at once.
Opposition In Tliiiniiismi,
Upon tho other side, hero In Lancaster
county, tho outccmo of tho republican fctato
convention foems to have removed a great
deal of the alarm whlnh was felt by the
opponents erf D. K. Thompson over his
threatened ascendancy ns u senatorial can
didate. Speaking of the situation one rf the
men elo?e o Mr. limbertson nald today:
"I wno a little frightened about Thompson
n week ago. hut have gotten over that new.
Talking with the delegates to tho state con
vention tho fact was disclosed that the feel
ing against Thompson throughout tho state
In almrst as pronounced now ns It wan dur
ing the I lay ward campaign. Thompson
made us bellcvo thnt ho would have the en
tire say In tho state convention and that
ho would make all the various candidates
unttlo with him heforo they could recclvo
favcr at the hands of the delegates. It
turned out. however, that Thompson was not
In control even of his Lancaiitcr delegation,
becvuiHO I.anibortson. as a condition to his
withdrawal, Insisted that part of tho Lan
caster vote ho thrown to Thurston nnd tho
voto showed that the parties Lambcrloon
dealt with had the final t,,iy.
"You will remember during the legislature
of 1808 Thompson was always telling us
Yaw many cards he had up his slcovo and
that If ho could only go Into a caucus ho
would capture tho caucuo nomination, but
when It came to a cauciu in reality his
ntrcngth seemed to nnlhh and tho cards
up his sleevo proved to bo nothing more
han a grand bluff. A repetition of that
was seen In tho late Mate convention.
Thompson gave out In advance that he wan
the wholo thing, but when It came down
to business he was still on the outhldo and
allowed the nurllngton to trado him off
A GOOD COMPLEXION
Depends on Cootl Dlucstlon,
This Is almost nn axiom although usually
wo aro apt to think that cemotlc, faco
ponders, lotions, fancy soaps, etc.. nro tho
cccrctti of securing a clear complcion. Hut
all theo aru simply superficial assistants.
It is Impossible to have a good complexion
unless the digestive organs perform their
work properly, unlets the stomach by prop
erly digesting the food taken Into it fur
nishes, an abundance of puro blood, a good
complexion Is Impossible.
That In the reason so many ladles nre using
Stuart'B Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
promptly cure any stomach trouble and
they have found out that perfect digestion
means ti perfect complexion and one that
docs not require cosmetics and powders to
enhanco Its beauty.
Many ladles diet themselves or deny them
selves many trtlcloa of food rolely In order
to keep their complexion clear. When Stu
art's lyspepi a tablets are tued no such
dieting Is nccmsary, take thebe tablets and
cat al tho good wholesome foo.l you winit
and you need have no fear of Indigestion
nor the sallow, dull complexion which nine
women out of ten have, solely because they
are suflcrlng from some form of indigestion.
Hear In mind that beauty proceeds frc:n
good health, good health rrtults from per
fect dlgesthn and wo have advanced tho
best argument to luduce every man anil wo
man to give this splendid remedy a trial.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can bo found
In drug stores and costs but 50 cents per
package.
If thero Is any derangement of the stomach
or bowels they will remove It nnl the resul
tant effects ire. good digestion, good health
wd clcart bright conirlelon .
for Intereits for which they wanted Sea
ntor Thurston s help.
I.nncnilrr's (Irrnt Ambition.
"As n friend of Lambcrlson I believe that
the Lancaster delegation pledged to Thomp
son will not do him any more good In tho
next legislature than It did In the last, and
that when they learn they cannot make
Thompson they will try to make a I.ancaster
man rather than sen the senatorshlp go to
some other part of the state and that some
one of the men who had been frozen out 'by
Thompson will fall heir to the delegation. I
may be making predictions too far ahead of
the time hut you can paste them In your
hat and see If my Judgment Is not .vindicated
should tho republicans havo control of tho
legislature."
Tho LambcrtEon men, although disap
pointed at having their preferred candidate
for governor eliminated from the fight be
foro It came to a ballot, take peculiar satis
faction In having been strong enough to
break up the Lancaster delegation, espe
cially as that was a feut which no one In
Douglas county was able to accomplish with
refcrenco to the Douglas delegation.
Mr. Thompson has gone cast, leaving his
interests In the hands of his lieutenants
' here. Heforo he went ho expressed himself
as satisfied with the selection of Chairman
Lindsay to head tho state committee, al
though Mr. Lindsay has usually been known
flft an flnH.Ttinmntnn ... n TKn .uirr.n.1 Ini.
'was made that Klmor Stephenson, who was
one of Mr. Thompson's managois, should bo
made vice chairman, but It has not met with
favor, to Mr. Stcphcnton is telling It that bo
did not want It. The other officers of the
committee sn far selected nro also chosen
from among the men who were opposed to
Mr. Thompson when he made his fight for
senator as against Senator Hayward.
Chairman Lindsay today IsHtlod a call for
a special meeting of the republican state
central committee In this city next Friday
evening to consider appointments recom
mended by the republican nominees for state
omccs. J. T. Mallallcu of Kcnrney has been
recommended by tho candidates to succeed
Prank A. Harrison as secretary of tho com

Attorney lirnrrnl I'litn In n Printed
llricf In the Slumlord Oil
Cane.
LINCOLN. May S. (Special.) A brief In
ftipport of the state's sldo of the Standard
Oil caso was filed In tho supremo court to
day by Attorney (leneral Smyth. It
touches tho constitutional phabe of the
litigation only and quoted copiously from
court decisions to show that the Nobraska
anti-trust law Is not class legislation and
that It docs not dlscrlmlnato against or In
favor of any class. Tho case was argued and
submitted at the last sitting of the supremo
court and the brief filed today will go di
rectly before the Judges.
It was argued by tho attorncje for tho
Standard Oil company that tho law under
which tho suit was Instituted deprived per
sons of property without due process of
law and that It permitted laboring men to
unlto together for tho purpose of maintain
ing a fair wago whllo prohibiting other cit
izens from forming combinations for tho
benefit of thrtr trade or business. The at
torney general holds that labor unions aro
formed for public good and should there
fore bo exempt from the restrictions of the
law. Other combinations, bo asserts, Injure
the public good and should be restricted.
From a legal standpoint theso questions aro
considered very Important and their decision
will have considerable bearing upon the final
outcome of tho case.

Much Interest Is already being taken In
tho contest for tho department offices, It
seems probablo that Senior Vice Commander
John Reese of Broken Bow will bo elected

Commander Robert S. Wilcox of Omaha will
bo promoted to senior vice. The Beatrice
delegates will make a gallant fight for tho
office of Junior vice commander, nnd havo
selected Dr. Fcrd Brother, past post com
mander of Rawilno post, for that honor.
Thero will also bo a lively contest for dele
gates to the national encampment. There aro
eight to be elected nnd Beatrice will also
try to land one of them.
Thero was somo talks a few months ago
relative to Beatrice trying to secure the
Grand Army of tho Republic reunions here
for a term of years, and thero nro n number
of Beatrice people who would llko to see this
accomplished. However, tho nearness of
Beatrlco to Omaha and Lincoln, should cither
of these cities aspire to the honor of bo
eurlng the reunions, precludes the probabil
