Jtsdge Fawtett listened to the dispute
atrtokf the pepcHrls yesterday over a
pltee rt, tbe ofSclal ballet. It hating come
up to him on an appeal from tbe dtcieton
ef Ceustr Clerk Havirly. J. B. Jones,
chairman of the fusion pspwHrt oounty
eommtttee, started the trouble by pretest
ing agsinrt the placing of the Deaver wing
ef the middle-of-the-road populists en the
ticket as "populists." This protest did not
extend to the Merearty-Cline faction of tbe
mid-rot dert. who bad asked to be put on
tbe ballot as "mld-roed jopulists "
Before tbe hearing in tbe oQce of the
county clerk the secretary of state had
handed down a ruling to tbe erect that
mid-roaa populist candidates could go on
tbe official ballot but that tbey must be
designated as ''mid-rot C populists." and
Judge Holmes of Lincoln had reversed tbe
decision of the secretary of state. County
Clerk Htverly followed the ruling of Judre
Holmes in bis findings upon the protest..
He decided to allow tbe Deaver taction to
go upon the tltket as plats populists and
the Morearty faction as mid-road populirts.
From this fiecii.ion Chairman Jones of tbe
fusion populist committee appealed.
In tbe meantime the supreme court has
reversed the ruling of Judge Holmes and
upheld that of tbe secretary of rtate
whereby the mid-road candidates must be
so designated, and when tbe case came up
on appeal before Judge Fawrett today be
held accordingly Elmer Thomas was
present to represent the" fusion populist
chairman and Simeon Bloom and D. Clem
Deeter were tb.re in the Interest of the
Deaver candidates. The Morearty faction
was not represented.
I'nder this ruling it was apparent that
only one cf the mid-road factions could get
upon tbe ticket under that detlgnatlon and
as tbe Morearty faction had laid claim to
the title at first. It became necessary to
adjudicate their respective rights to It
Morearty was accordingly notified to ap
pear this afternoon to participate In a com
bat to dcle which fection of tbe mid
roaders will get place upon tbe ticket as
such.

DEMOCRATS HEAR ZEISLER
McKlnley Administration Character
ised a the Root of All Crlls,
Present and Fntnrr.
Tbe big lent was only about three-quar-
ters full last night to listen to an address
from tbe modern democratic standpoint by
Sigmund Zelsler. a German lawyer of Chi
cago. He wts Introduced by J. H Mcin
tosh and about twenty-five flemocratt and
populists occupied scats on tbe platform
Mr Zelsler was Introduced as one of tbe
early anti-laptrlalists and one born under
the dominion of an emperor
Mr. Zeislei said tbe one thing that dls-
tlngulsbed the administration of McKlnley
from that ol aU the other presidents was
tbe Spanish war and the conditions that
follow-ed. especially the treatment by thit
government of tbe Filipinos.
The latter
was declared to be tbe rhicf isr.-ae, as this
campaign Involves an endorsement of tbe
president's policy or a rrjection of It. He
Inveighed loudly against turning this glori
ous republic of Thomas Jefierson into a
vulgtr empire built upon tbe principles of
George III. He declared the full dinner
pail the most degrading argument ever ad
vanced, as it assumed tbat the H boring
man has no heart or intelligence or sene
of Justice. He said the prosperity and
financial arguments appeal to the timidity
of the business man and tbe stomacb of the
laboring man; that good and bad timet
were sent alternately throughout the his
tory of the world, even as far back as tbe
lean year of the bible, by Providence, but
that the republicans are hoggish in claim
ing credit for all the favors of Providence.
Mr. Zelsler did not talk very much about
Bryan. He did take occasion to say thit
candor compelled the statement that he

ere he thought the colonial and im-
erlallr.m questions of more Importance.
Zelsler spoke lor two and
a half
hours The greater portion of his address
comprised asr.aultr upon tbe president and
a glowing defense of Aguinaldo and tb
Filipinos, whiih elicited great and cor
tinuous applause, especially when h
cnoted the statement of a Filipino of prom
inence to the effect that if Bryan should
be elected the Filipinos will throw their

ssld yesterday "No, the police have not

did not have a criminal record or we would
hate learned something about him, but I

covered hit head and came down under his

man might hate hecn killed under similar
circumstances, no matter bow foxy be was
"You see the exprehr agent, as soon as
tbe train was flagged, guessed tbe troublt,
grabbed his shotgun and slipped out tbe
side door of his car unobie.rt ed. He ran
down a distance tnd concealed himself at
tbe side of the embankment. "V btn tbe
