LINCOLN, Aug. 16. (Special.) Demo
cratic National Committeeman James C.
Unlilman and State Chairman I'. t. Hall
Mere In (.onfen-nco In this city today dls-J
i-usaliiK plans for the Mate fusion campaign,
but the "result of their deliberations Is kept
carefully guarded from the public, Tlicao
two men havu Immediate control of the
dcmoctiMc machinery and. they aro begin
ning p-irly io oil tho wheels for action In
the forthromtJB content. At the outset
thry am confronted by prospects which nra
decidedly discouraging and they make but
little effort to conceal their despair.
What lo do with the silver plank, how to
forco thn free silver republicans Into the
democratic or populist camps, democratic
preferred, and how to raise funds for carry
ing on Ibo campaign wrro (juestlons the
leaders found difficult to answer In their
conferenco todiv. Mr. Hryan will be con
sulted on all three propositions, but never
theless there 1b a large anil growing dlspn
nttlon nmonp tho fuslonlsts to nssume an
air of Independence on these matters, or, In
other words, do their own thinking. Tho
raising of campaign funds Is really the
(Ideation of paramount Importance, how
ever, and If Mr. Hryan or anybody clso can
suggest any revenue-producing plan It will
be gladly accepted. With the popocratlc
plci'ounter no longer In exlstcnco the cam
paign managers will have to look for vol
untary contributions and If the exporlcnco
of tho treasury department of the populist
rommlttpo Is a criterion the amount of
money they will raise by that method will
not be largo enough to buy the headquar
ters stationery.
There are already signs of Indignation
over tho recent action by which the frco
silver republican party was dissolved. Per
haps a majority of the local members of the
party will remain In the popocratlc camp,
but tho attempted delivery will be by no
means complete. Speaking of the dissolu
tion a well known Lincoln man, who was
Identified with the party from the day It
wan organized, nuld lo the reporter today:
To Kllmtiintr .Silver.
"In my Judgment, the action of the freo
silver republican committee In dissolving
the Integral organization Is the first step
In a concerted movement to eliminate sil
ver ns a party Issue. Twice submitted to
the Judgment of the American people and
twlco rejected by large nnd decisive ma
jorities, the democratic leaders over tho
country, who seem to be the ruling power
of the trinity, have decreed that free silver
shall be relegated to obscurity and with
this end In view they have directed that
that wing of tho trinity which, hy reason
of Its name, could not exist without keep
ing tho silver scarecrow to the front, be
dissolved."
. Continuing, he said. "It would bo a
ludicrous Incongruity to eliminate the sti
ver Issue nnd yet havo one element of tho
trlumvlrnto wear tho brand, so to sur
mount It the free silver republican party
was dissolved. Tho action of the free
silver republicans of Nebraska, taken with
that of the democrats In Ohio, Virginia
nnd other states whore free silver and
tho Chlcngo and Kansas ally platforms
have been contemptuously, f repudiated,
clearly' indicates that this' Is tho line of
notion contemplated. Whether this means
that sectionalism In tho democratic party
will follow, with Its north, oast and south
against the silver producing section In
tho west, remains to be developed. The
more likely thing Is that silver will be
dropped nltogeth,er nnd those who refuse
to become reconciled to tho changed con
ditions will be trrntfd ns political dcre-
llcts and shut out from tho councils of the
party. Hvon Mr. Hryan, It nppears, while
still professing loyalty and belief to and
In the silver onuao, does not resist the
onslaught that In being made and nccopts
the Inevitable with a sentimentality so
' void cf oppocltlon as to symbolize nt least
passive acquiescence. Indeed. I have al
ways thought that Mr. Ilryan's champion
ship of tho silver cause was more tho he
lief ou his part that it was the shortest
route to remunrrntlve political eminence
than that It would be beneficial to the
great mosses of tho people and tho great
Industries of this country. My belief In
this respect has been strengthened by his
pusslvcnesH since It has linen demonstrated
through tho medium, of the ballot that It Is
neither n short route nor ono without
peril. Having been twice castigated and
subjected to moro drastic dlsclpltnn than
lias bpen Inflicted on nny other political
organization In the last fifty years, duo, a
nil well-Informed persons must admit, to
th venerable flnanclnl philosophy crystal
lized Into party orthodoxy by two national
conventions, It H the logical fruition of
experience that the lenders should at this
time be casting about rnr alienor nnu re
lief. Tho democratic leaders, nnd pnrtlcu
Inrlv the conservative element of tho
party realize that their party la dlscred
ited, no mere on account of Its financial
vagaries than upon thn transparent scheme
nf fusion, a srhemo whlcli every one knows
was Inspired, not for the object of In
imguratlng reform, but with tho one end
lu view of acquiring the spoils of office.
If thai were not the real object of fusion,
how could apparently Intelligent men
stand on three platforms, representing
three different, and often dlnmrtrlcal, sets
of principles7 There were many well
meaning men In nil three of thn parties
who were cither democrats, populists or
free silver republicans from principle, but
the fellows who engineered the deal nnd
who were standing randldntes for tho
offices had no other or higher motive than
to nenutre office.
"I think with them that silver Is dend
nml Is a discarded Issue, but the virus
thereof hns taken b firm hold on thn demo
cratte parly and It will take It as long. It
not longer, to live It down and recover
ns It did from Its brutal attitude in the
days of slavery."
I.liioninn Killed Itjr Live Wire.
Ollvrr W. Npally. a lineman employed by
tho Llnculn Ous and Klectrlc company, was
killed by an electric shock while at work
on thn ciossarm of a tall pole In front n
St. Paul's church this morning. Physl
rlans and friends worked over the body for
two hours and every known restorative was
uspd to bring tho body back to conscious
ncss, It Is not known whether the fatality
was due to an accident or recklessness on
tho part of tho workman.
Mr. Nenlly was IS years of age. H
lived with his father and mother at 436
South l'hlrieenth street. Two brothers
survive mm nom younger. They are
George, who Is a lineman at Omaha, and
Kred, a lineman hero for the Tower niec
trie company. It is said Neally was en
gaged to bp married to Miss pearl Dickson,
n stenographer, living In northeast Lin
coln, II. S. Young was an eyewitness of the
fatality He said: "I was passing along
the street In front of the church. AH of a
sudden ? hoard somebody yell and when I
looked up ' saw two men In the crrn
lurs of the telephone pole. One was half
frantically trying to cut through n wire
and the other was hanging by his hands
with a wire grasped In each hand. A bluish
smoke was rising from his hands and,
though his back was toward roe, his head
hung back so far t could see his face,
I knew what was the matter and I ran as
fast as I could to a telephone and notified
the police. When I got. back again the
wire had been cut nnd the man hung
limply from the belt that strapped him to
the pole. He didn't appear to have a spark
of life left In him,"
Tim Keefe, the co-worker with Neally
on the pole, gove his version of the acci
dent. "I don't know how It happened.
Wn had Just put on our safeties and were
getting ready to work. I was looking at
something else when the shock came to
Neally and the first thing I knew was when
I felt the pole spring a bit as he lurched
backward. His hands may have been damp.
I don't know whether he had more than
one glove on or not. He had hold of two
of the wires and was leaning back stiff
when I first noticed him nnd smoke was
coming up from his hands. I don't know
whether It was carlessners or what. I cut
the wire to break the circuit as soon as I
could and we got him down as soon as pos
sible. He was an experienced lineman ana
ought to have known the risk he was run
ning when he took hold of two wires. I'm
sure tho wire wnsn't bared.

Will the majority hereafter show a united,

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 16. (Special.)
It Is said that seven months ago a petition
was circulated throughout central Wyo
ming and forwarded to the secretary of
tho Interior, praying for the segregation of
certain lands, about 1,400 acres, as oil bear
ing lands, under what is known as tho oil
placer location net. Tho petition wob signed
by Governor De Forest Richards and many
other prominent citizens who were made to
bcllovo that only a small tract wns to be
segregated and that only In tho vicinity of
the sccno of operations of the Pennsylvania
Oil and Gas company, which had expended
largo sums of money In developing tho Salt
creek oil flolds nnd which wanted tho land3
set apart. Special agents of the depart
ment recently Investigated the lands In
question In order to dotcrmlnc whether they
wero more valuable, for oil than for agri
culture and It was then that tho flrat
Inkling of the plot was given out.
Senator Warren has been consulted In
tho matter and tho whole business will bo
laid before tho authorities at Washington.
H Is asserted that If thu large tract of
land was segregated hundreds of ranchmen
woiitd bo deprived of the' privilege of graz
ing In that section It 'is'ch'argcd that the
segregation of the land was n part of a
schemo to get control of tho Salt creek oil
fleldB, which aro Very rich, plUg up tho
wells nnd prevent their development. The
tract In question consists of 550,000 acres.
