LINCOLN. Aug. 13. (Special Telegram.)
Secretary of Stato Porter wbb the chief
actor today In the plot of tho fuslonlsts to
prevent tho middlo-of-thc-road party from
using the namo "populist" on tho offlclal
ballot. He acted as Judge, Jury and prose
cutor during tho hearing of Chairman Ed
mlaten's protest, questioned and cross
examined witnesses, made verbal state
ments concerning his personal knowlcdgu
of tho case and, In the words of ono of tho
spectators, was "the star of tho whole per
formance," Tho hearing lasted the entire afternoon
and will he resumed again tomorrow morn
ing. Tho protest against the silver re-
nnhllnanil wutt hprt rd this morning.
In tho afternoon the protest against tho
use of tho namo "populist" by tno miutiic-of-tho-road
tarty was taken up, but very
iitiin t.nriuiiv was made owing to the ex
tended arguments over technical questions
and tho Introduction of certain classes o
tii.lirn A. S. Tlbbctts conducted
tho rase for the fusion crowd and the sldo of
tho defi'liso was presented by Judge Malr of
Omaha and John Stevens, Jr., or Arapauoc
Tho major portion of the afternoon was
spent discussing tho objection to the am
davits and not until the close of the ses
sion was any testimony presented.

When Secretary Porter opened his court
there were upwards Of n hundred persons
prcrent, most of them being stato employes
and olnclals, who suspended nil omcini uusi
ness In honor of tho hearing then In prog
rnn. Among the "notiullst" candidates
nrcsent were Taylor Flick of Custor county,
candidate for governor; John Stevens of
Arnpahoc, candidate for nttornoy general;
James Ilrooks of Stanton, candidate lor pres
ldontlal clrclor, and Chairman lloyco and
Secretary Ouyo of tho slate central commit
tee.
In opening the case Mr. Tlbbctts re
marked that the protest was based prlncl
pally upon two grouuds, tho first being that
tho namo "populist" waB used to leceiro and
disfranchise voters, and tho second that tho
convention nt (irand Island was not nt
tended by the rcqulslto number of delegates,
Ho Insisted that tho burden of tho caso
rested with tho defense arid that the persons
who presented tho certificates for filing
should bo required to demonstrate that the
allegations In tho protest were untrue be
foro tho certltlcato was mado a part of the
olTlclnl records of tho olllco. Judge Blair
thought tho burden to provo tho averments
In tho protest rested with tho persons who
filed It.
After on extended argument as to which
sldo should mako tho first move In the caso
J. II. Edmlston, chairman of tho peoplo's
Independent party, was sworn and on exam
Inntlon by Judge Tlbbctts said that tho party
f which he was an oDlcer was generally
known as tho populist party. On cross-ex
amlnatlon ho admitted, after making several
evnslvo replies to direct questions, that so
far as ho knew the name "populist" had
novrr gone on any official ballot or oven on
tho records of tho sccretnry of state's ofllc
as the whole or part of any party name.
Tmt liiiuii' for Ilefriim-.
Tho testimony offered by tho mid-road
ers was to tho effect that thoro were moro
than tho required number of delegates at
tho convention and on cross-examination It
was hrought out that no party had over
used tho namo "populist" on an ofllcla
ballot.
A pile of affidavits was presented by Ed
mlstcn purporting to provo that certain
counties wero not represented In th
Grand Island convention. Tho Introduc
tlon of this ovldenco over tho objection of
nttorncV for the dofenso brought out
storm of protest. Tho ruling of the Becro
tary of state In admitting tho evidence wa
characterized by Judgo Ulalr for the de
fense as preposterous and high-handed
A request to have tho affidavits read aloud
was overruled. The attorneys for tho do
fense appealed In vain to bo apprised of
their contonts, but tho secretary of stat
finally receded from his position by saying
mat lie wouin consider mom oniy as reuui
tal testimony.
Jeromo Shamp, J. A. Doyce, D. Clem
Denver nnd scvor.il other witnesses tcstl
fled that thoro wero more than 00 dele
gates at the convention. A list proparcd
while tho convention was In session, show

oltercd In ovldenco; also tho report of tho
credentials commlttco certifying to an at
tondnnco of 367 dolegates,
AKHlnut the SlIviT Heitllllll-uiia
Tho protest against tho silver republicans
signed by 8. T. Cochrane of this city was
based upon tho allegations that at tho la
cloclton the party did not rocclvo 1 per cent
of tho total vote, that It had adopted a por
tion of an old party namo and that It was
lint a regular party Inasmuch as it had no
candldutrs of Its own. II. II. Wilson of thlr
city and Orlando Tefft of Avoca appeared for
tho protcstant and Oeorgo Hobner of this
city for tho defense.

was a sucess In point of numbers and finan
cially. The weather was Just hot enough
to give tho girls nt tho Ice cream nnd tho
lemonado stands a good patronage and tho
other booths did n good business.
Tho attraction for tho afternoon crowd
were tho speeches by ex-Governor Crounso
nnd Hon. W. D. Oldham. Governor Crounso
spoko a full hour. Ho recited tho history
of the republican party and Its mnny noble
achievements. Ho told how In 1S61, when
Uuchanan quit tho presidency, 12 per cent
government bonds wero sold at a discount
nnd now 2 per cent bonds wero selling at
a premium. Ho referred to the war of tho
rebellion and said It was prolonged by tho
Adlnl Stevenson brand of democrats. Ho
discussed Imperialism nnd denied that tho
republican party favored It. Ho said that
and mtlllnrlsm wero bugaboos with which
to scare voters. Ho showed up
tho false prophecies of Mr. Iiryan
and said people could not afford
to put faith In a falso prophet. He spoko
of trusts and said the first nntl-trust law
was enncted ton years ago by a rcpuUllcan
congress and signed by a republican presi
dent. Ho told how anxious Ilrynn was for
war with Spain, how ha marched toward
tho front nt tho head of a column, of tho
dozens of pictures of different poses ho
had taken, how ho resigned nml went to
Washington to urgo tho ratification of
tho pence treaty, nnd how ho commenced to
kick as soon as the treaty was signed. Ho
referred to Dryan's statement that If he
was president ho would glvo tho Filipinos
a stablo government nnd protect them In
It. Ho asked supposing the Filipinos
should offend Germany and get Into trouble.
To sponsor for the Filipinos this govern
ment would need to Jake sides with
Agulnaldo, and In that case what of
Dryan's nntt-mllttarlans? Ho gave the fu
slonlsts a scathing arraignment upon sev
eral propositions nnd was heartily cheered
when he sat down.
W. D. Oldham upon being Introduced
paid Governor Crounso a handsome compli
ment by saying that If other republican
officials In Nebraska had been ns honest
ns ho there would have been no occasion
for turning tho rascals out. Ho compli
mented Father McDonald for devoting two
hours of the tlmo allotted for pleasuro to a
presentation of tho Issues of the approach
ing campnlgn. Going to tho presentation
of tho democratic side of the caso ho said
slnco four years ago new complications
had arisen and new Issues havo been raised.
Ho launched out upon imperialism nnd
world politics. He charged the continua
tion of the war In tho Philippines upon tho
republican party because neither In con
gress nor in their national convention had
they mado any declaration of what was
or Is the Intention of the party toward tho
pcoplo of those Islands. Ho described Im
perialism as being nn emplro with diversi
fied forms of governments, ns tho British
empire with ono form of government for
England nnd another form for Ireland. He
said that Rryan would furl the flag on tho
Island of Sulu and re-establish It up In
Alaska. Mr. Oldham did not nttempt to
follow tho discourse of Governor Crounso
because there was no point of dobato. He
was also heartily cheered at tho close.
