10 THE OMAHA DAILY IJEEi TUESDAY, AVKIE 22, 1902. TOM BLACKBURN PERPLEXED Doeta't Know When and How to Call CongTeuIocal nomination. SAVAGE AND BARTLEY IN THE QUESTION ir. Hri efnaes to Allow Mrfr' jklaa to Withdraw Ilia Same John t.. WrbMrr Talks of V rolltlral Honesty. I ' Jlr. Mercer's engineer I perplexed and good reason hts ha for being ao. In addi tion lo his Inability to scare other candi dates off too congressional track he la up to the trouble of choosing the" conditions upon Which to seek renomlnatlon for his chief. Realising that the opposition to Mercer Is not to be dispelled. Blackburn is Just now trying to figure out the best wsy in which to meet It, and tho problem has o far remained unsolved. A chairman and "whole thing" of the congressional committee. Blackburn msy call for a congressional nomination when ever bs pleases. How and when to exercise this power Is the most perplexing puixle he has ever had In band. If he chooses to have the county convention which will same the delegates to the next state con vention select tho men who are to make tho congressional nomination, an embar rassing situation will confront him, for .then It will be necessary for him to take Idea la tbe gubernatorial contest. It hsp gena that among his followers are a num ber of friends of Savage and Bartley and It bey will Insist upon having ths governor's car coupled to tho Mercer train as It runs through 'Douglas county. If Engineer Blackburn protests against such an ar rangement he will have to take tbe other end of tho argument and array hla forces against Savage and Hartley, which is scarcely a possible thing for him to do, as perhsps a majority of said forces are In line with the governor and his psrdon. If majority of tbe republicans of ths county were In the same Una, then the question would ba aa easy one for Blackburn, but from present appearances such Is not tbe fact. A troublesome Item to Mr. Black burn la tbst a majority of the Mercer forces In this county Just at this time forms only a email minority of the republicans, hut Blackburn figures tbst he csnnot even take a ehanca on antagonizing a remnant. So If Mercer is to go In for an early con gressional, nomination he must either stick to or oppose his 8avage-Bartley friends, for it la possible for Blackburn to straddle the situation only by his eyebrows, and an eyebrow strsddle won't do. If Blackburn decides to avoid tbe compli cations of tho early gubernatorial fight by determination to take his medicine In the fall, his embarraasment will be none tho less. His only chance In tbe fall will 'ha by forming combinations with candi dates for county offices and the legislature, and this will be difficult work perhaps Im possible. Judging from the manouvers of Blackburn at this time, he Is endeavoring to avoid tho troubles that would come to Mercer In tho fall by pulling off the con gressional nomination In the near future, and tho great obataclo In his path Is tbe 8avage-Bartley proposition. If ha decides to avoid both the state and county complications, then cornea the third and laat proposition to make the congres sional aAmlnatlon Independently. And Blackburn knowa that in a square fight, in volving only tho congressional nomination. Mercer's chance would be slim. That part of ths scheme of Blackburn in his effort to secure a renomlnatlon for his non-resident candidate for congress Is to misrepresent tba opposition Is shown In tbe talk ha Is making about town since ths an nouncement of the candidacy of John P. Broen. Of course his talk Is only twaddle and will have no effect, but It Is significant In showing the anxiety of tho congressional boas to create an impression that the op position to Mercer is not substantial. la the pressnce of a Bee reporter and a well known republican of the Seventh ward yesterday Blackburn bad ths temerity to deny that Mr. Breen was a candidate for the congressional nomination. "I had a talk with Breen," said Blackburn-, "and he told me that the announce ment of hla candidacy in The Bee was un authorised that he had merely been joking with the reporter. He Is not a candidate." But perhaps Mr. Breen himself is better authority than Blackburn on this subject, and for that reason ths reporter called on him again yesterday morning and said: ."Mr. Blackburn says that you told him you were merely Joking when you gave It out that you were a candidate for con gress." "I navsr told Blackburn anything of the 'kind." replied Mr. Breen with emphasis. "He came to me and asked If the newspa per report of my candidacy was correct and I told him that it was that I had decided to accede to the Importunity of many friends and announce myself as a candi date." "In politics, as In business, a man Is In feonor bound to keep hla promises, and when he falls to observe an agreement made with other parties he forfeits what ever reputation for Integrity he may have !Doea not make the man. " The blood it j li.' tbe vital force of the body. So , it not Infrequently happens that the man : who looks to ba a picture of physical strength falls a sudden victim; to disease. the blood would , prevent many a serious sickness. The cleansing of , the blood Is per- 1 j fectly accomplish ed by the use of I Dr. Pietce'e Geld- I en Medical Discov ery, It drives out ' the impurities and poieonous sub- : stances which cor ntja the blood and breed disease. It increases tbe ao tivit v of the blood making glands, and ao increases tbe supply of pure Wood, ft builds up the entire body with good so una flesh. There is no al cohol in "Golden Medical Diacov err" and it is en- itlreiy free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics, The dealer who offer a substitute for the Discovery doea ao to gain the lit- tie more profit paid by inferior medi cines. There is nothing "just aa good" ,foc the blood aa "Golden Medical Dis covery therefore accept no substitute. I took eWe bottles of 'Ooldee Medical Maco. ery tot mj blood." writ Mr. WlllUm D. Shemb. Ha, at any. Cherokee Nation. IndUa TrrrUury.

This being a well aettled principle, and tbe evidence being that Mr. Mercer did not keep his agreement made two years sgo, when he wss allowed a renomlnatlon without opposition, I believe Mr, Rosewater Is entirely Justified In fighting against tbe return of the congressman for another term. It I were In Mr. Rosewater's place I would pursue exsrtly tbe same course, snd so would any other honest and fair minded man." Tbe above Is substantially tbe statement made by John L. Webster to a group of gentlemen In a chair rar on the Burlington train enroute to Lincoln several days sgo. When Mr. Webster wss seen In his office by a Bee reporter yesterday snd ssked If be had made such a statement, he said: "Yes, I not ouly said that on the train the other day, but I have said the same thing many times and in various places. I don't believe a man has any better right to violate his agreements in politics thsn he has to repudiate his contracts In bus iness. "I am not sure of my premises, but I presume that Mr. Rosewater Is sure of his, and If bis premises are well taken my con clusion that the opposition to Mercer Is amply justified Is correct. I am not sure of my premises because my memory does not retsln the names of the men who, as reprssentatlves of Mr. Mercer, agreed that the congressmsn would not Interfere In tbe senstorisl contest If he were permitted a rsnominstion for congress wltiiout opposi tion two yesrs ago. That such an agree ment was msde by the representatives of Mercer I am certain, but I cannot remem ber the particular gentlemen who acted for the congressman at that time. Mr. Rosewater can probably remember them, for he and I were both parties to the agree ment. "Mr. Rosewater and I kept our part of the oontract, and Mercer ana given the prestige of a unanimous nomination and saved the expense of a contest by our sc tlon. In return for this Mr. Mercer was bound by tbe promise of his representatives to keep out of the senatorial contest ab solutely, but what does he do? After Mr. Rosewater, In a contest with me at the pri maries, wins the legislative delegation from this county and Is by all means entitled to tbe support of the republicans In this county for the senstorlal seat, Mr. Mercer goes down to Lincoln and announces him self aa a candidate in opposition "If I had secured the Douglas county delegation, ss Mr. Rosewater did. and Mer cer bad given me the same opposition that he gsve Mr. Rosewater at Lincoln. I would certainly be acting Just aa Mr. Rosewater Is acting at this time. I have talked of this matter to a great many republicans, snd I have yet to meet one who will even attempt to justify Mr. Mercer's Interfer ence In tbe senatorial fight. It may be that Mercer's opposition had nothing to do with Mr. Rosewater's defeat, but that has no bearing on the case. The principle of Integrity Is Involved snd I Insist that we must act In good faith in politics as In business If we are to save our reputations." CHURCH ADVERTISING PAYS Vfw Policy of North Side Christian Charea Brian's Increased Attendance. Large congregations attended all the services at ths North Side Christian church on Sunday. Many flew faces were seen, which Is taken as an Indication that the policy of newspaper advertising, recently adopted by the North Bide church, has al ready begun to produce results. The pastor. Rev. W. T. Hilton, occupied the pulpit morning and evening, having Just returned from Columbia, Mo., where he attended the Missouri Ministerial insti tute and presented tbe claims of the na tional convention, which meeta in Omaha next October. Mr. Hilton reports widespread interest In the coming convention throughout Missouri, and that large numbers are planning to come to the Omaha meeting, the manage ment of a semlnsry at Columbia having arranged to bring, 100 of the young women students in a body. 1 Arbor day will be observed at the North Bide church by the planting of trees about ths building. Plana are also being made tor the erection of a flagstaff, from which "Old Glory" will be flung to the breese In the near future. . SCHEME FOR TREE PLANTING To Be Tried on Tvrenty-Eta-h th Street, Regardless ef Mayor'a Veto. The bulletin board In the office of the Board of Publlo Works shows that pro posals for planting treea and sodding along ths margins of Twenty-eighth street, be tween Leavenworth and Farnam streets, will be opened May S. This is all tLjt Is left of Major D. H. Wheeler's ordinance providing for such improvements on all rssldencs street of tbe city, which was vetoed by tbe mayor three weeks ago. Major Wheeler Owns property on this par ticular part of Twenty-eighth street, and ha proposes to test the efficiency of the measure there, with a view to reviving it should it prove effective. In order to seoure uniformity In tbe ap pearance of the street the work Is to be done under ths city's direction and one contractor is to do it all. Bluegrass sod and soft msple trees will he used.

The Commercial club sees In an an nouncement of the Agricultural department of the United States government something which msy injure business men of the city to a considerable extent. Preamble and resolutions adopted at the session of the executive committee recites that it Is un derstood the department contemplates the publishing of a number of formulae of pro prietary articles used on tbe farm, Includ ing insecticides, stock foods, remedies and poultry foods, and that such a course would have a tendency to Injure the business of the firms manufacturing these articles; therefore the club protests sgalnst such ac tion and asks the department to reconsider Its course. Kndoi Bill A resolution endorsing the Irrigation bill now pending In congress, as smended, was sdopted. Herman Drlshaus, manager of the Gate City Hat company, was elected to membership in the club. A committee consisting of John Steel, O. M. Ribbel and Oeorge H. Lee was ap pointed to visit the city council committee this afternoon for the purpose of represent ing the club in the matter of the closing down of the Union Pacific foundry. Tbe committee was given no instructions and It waa understood that it would take no part In the discussion ss to the proper course for the council to pursue. GOOD ROADS MAN RETURNS Secretary Richardson Talks of Trip with Spec! .1 Train Throaajh Soath. R. W. Richardson, secretary of ths Na tional Good Roads association, returned Sunday from the south, where he has been In charge of a road-building train of thir teen cars, a complete account of which was In the Illustrated supplement of last Sun day's Bee. The train has made a tour of nearly all of the southern states, snd In many of the principal cities good roads conventions were held to awaken publlo Interest In the movement. "We visited the Charleston exposition," said Mr. Richardson, "and In the exposition grounds built a section of modern rosd, which attracted much attention and favor able comment. While ths Charleston ex position presented many excellent features, it is not to be compared for enterprise and originality with the Transmlssisslppl exposition. The buildings as a rule were essentially southern In their style of archi ture, being low and characterized by heavy colonnades, porticoes and columns. "We have under contemplation now a tour through the northwest, but the plans for It are not definitely settled as yet. 1 hope to be able to remain in Omaha for a while." CSaard Against Imitations.

The members of Nebraska lodge No. 1 of tbe Masonic fraternity had made ar rangements to hold Masonic services at the grave, as Mr. Stafford was a past master of the lodg". The family had made arrange ments for a hearse and two carriages from an undertaker, while tbe lodge had secured ten carriages from another houee. When the drivers of tbe carriages secured by the lodge arrived and saw the hearse and car rlages from the opposition house tbey de clined to drive to the cemetery and returned their rigs to the stables. Other carriages were called, but their drivers also refused to take part In the funeral as long as the hearse and two carriages from the rival house were used, claiming that there was some sort of trouble between tbe employers and employes of the other institution. As a last resort the order for the hearse and two carriages was cancelled. The funeral was delayed an hour by the difficulty.
