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

, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellet cure con-Wlpatioey
had. 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.

EXCURSION TO SOUTH PLATTE
Commercial Club Decides on Itinerary of
Jobbers' (Special Trip.
ARRANGES FOR A TRAIN OF PULLMANS
Nehraeka City. Aabara. Ternmarh,
Falls City, Oiford Junction,
lloldreate, Beatrice aad
Crete on the Ronte.
The spring excursion of tbe Omaha Cora
merclal club was decided upon yesterday
and an Itinerary adopted, which, however, Is
subject to slight amendments. The train.
which will consist of three Pullman sleep
ers, a day coach snd a baggage car, will
leave the Burlington depot at 7:30 o'clock
Tuesday, May 13. going to Lincoln; from
there to Nebraska City, thence through
Auburn and Tecumaeh to Falls City. From
that point the Wymore branch will . be
taken to Oxford Junction. The return will
be through Holdrege, Beatrice and Crete to
Lincoln and Omaha. The trip will occupy
three days, the trsln arriving In Omaha
on the evening of May 15.
Commissioner Vtt and the chairman of
the excursion committee, L. L. Kountie,
will prepare a complete schedule of the trip,
after which a circular will be Issued to tbe
members of the club asking them to desig
nate a representative on the excursion. It
will be urged that the heads of the houses
be sent.
cento Some Trouble.
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.

Soath.
R. W. Richardson, secretary of ths Na

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."

DELAYS FUNERAL AN HOUR
Troable Between Employers and Km
. ployes at Stable Furnish
lasr the Hearae.
There was jtn .unpleasant feature con
nected with the funeral of Joseph R. Staf
ford, which took place Sunday afternoon
from the residence of his son, Harry Staf
ford. 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.

On motion of Thomas Crocker, republican
contestant, the contest for the office of reg
ister of deeds of Douglas county was dis
missed at S yesterday afternoon by Judge
Bsxter, before whom tbe recount of ballots
has been in progress. Mr. Crocker did not
feel that tbe gains he was making were
sufficient to warrant his carrying the pro
ceedings further at the great cost that was
being entailed. The official returns gave
him 108 votes less thsn Harry Deuel, and In
this recount he made no substantial gains
In tbe first twenty-three precincts counted
except In the Ninth precinct of tbe Third
ward, where he gained twenty-seven. The
contest of . Charles Unltt for the county
clerkship, which Harry Miller holds, will
continue as Unltt Is making better gains
