LINCOLN, June 14. (Special.) The first
Immediate alalia of the approach of the re
publican atate convention were visible at
the hotels today. Borne of the candidates
have arrived and prepared to open headquar
ters Monday and others are exptcted to
morrow. Chairman Lindsay has bee at
the committee headquarters making the
necessary arrangementa for the meeting.
"I look for a big convention, to fact, an
unusually big one." said Mr. Lindsay.
. "There are 1.04 delegates and I have re
ceived assurances that nearly all of them
will be here."
The committee has arranged to give each
delegation one-half as many apectators'
tickets as there are members of the delega
tion. These tickets have already been ap
portioned and are at the state headquar
ters, where they will be given out when
demand Is msde for them.
Fa.loalsts Demoralised.
The demoralization of the fuslonlsts of
Lancaster county was painfully apparent
this afternoon, when a few of the faithful
got together In the Auditorium to nominate
candidates for county offices and for the
legislature. They elected delegates to the
state conventions, adopted a few resolutions
and discussed a few miscellaneous matters,
but nominated no candidates.
The democrats met In one side of the hall
nd the populists In the other. Each little
gathering was presided over by a "chair
man," and a permanent organization in
miniature was effected.
In the populist crowd a resolution was
Introduced by A. K. Sheldon, declaring
against a continuance of the fusion arrange-
rorni, dui waa speeuuj lauicu. iuo uric
gatlon named by the populists is unin
tructed. The democrats authorized General Victor
Vlfqualn to came the party delegation to
represent the -county at the state conven
tion. General Vlfqualn is an avowed can
didate for governor and the action at the
'.county convention means that he will have
'the entire Lancaster county vote pledged
' to his support.
A little interest was Injected Into the
proceedings by J. A. McNerney. who pro
duced a resolution directing attention to
the fact that the presiding officer of the
I'nited States senate, by directing Senator
Dietrich to sit down prevented the senator
from "standing up for Nebraska."
Resolutions were carried In both conven
tions to meet again on September 12, when,
it la understood, another effort will be
mads to nominate a set of candidates.
Governor Renews Objection.
Governor Savage has renewed his objec
tion to the prison labor contract recently

of the board that If the agreement is not

The governor and Secretary Jarsh dis

the aame thing, ho'wever, two weeks ago.

lavaat on Hallroad Aaeeeament.
Governor Savage this afternoon gave out
prepared Interview In which be dis
cusses and defends his position on the rail
road assessment matter. Among other
things he says:
"To be frank about It I was much better
satisfied with the original answer of the
Board of Equalization In the Rosewater
mandamus case than with the amended
one. My. position on railroad taxation Is
pretty well known to ths people of Ne
braska. I believe that every Interest in
the state abould pay its just proportion of
the taxes and the mors I study the ques
tion, and , I have . atudied it many long,
weary hours, the more I am satisfied that
ome of the railroads of Nebraska are not
and have not sines 1SS3 been paying their
full share of the taxes.
I did aot agree with the assessment this
year. I contended that it the railroads
vera paying their Just proportion of taxea
la 1890, which was about one-sixth of the
total for the state, and I have reason to
believe that they were then aatlsfled, al
lowing this to be true and that ill other
property of the atate has increased in pro
portion to the railroads and the fact that
the total assessment has been decreased

the railroads would be entitled to one-sixth
of thst decrease, whereas they havs been
decreased about $1,500,000, or about one
third of the total decrease. Again, with
ths 'prospect that the assessment of other
property in the state win be Increased
some millions of dollars this year, aa It
should be, I believe that the board would
have been Justified In Increasing the rail
road assessment at leset 11,700.000 and so
expressed myself at the board meeting and
I still think that when the returns are all
In they will prove the Justness of my posi
tion. In the face of the fact that our state
indebtedness Is now about twenty times
our constitutional limit and still Increas
ing, even with economical administration
of state affairs, it la very evident that
there la aometblng radically wrong and
that aoma classes or all are not paying
state tax enough. The mandamus suit Is
all right, as It will most likely settle a
much disputed question. I did not at the
time of the meeting of the board and do not
now believe that the statutes of Nebraska
provide any way for ascertaining ths value
of franchises. I am In favor of taxing
franchises ths same as any other property
of value, but the question Is, how is the
board to find out the value of them? Our
first answer stated the fact that wa did
not assess the railroad franchises and
we asked the court to place a construction
upon the constitution and laws and lay
down a reasonsble rule for following them.
I believe the board did Its duty aa tar as
the franchises are concerned, aa far as it
understood the lawa and aa far as the laws
go.
Valae of the Railroads. y
"According to the latest reports on file
the railroads of Nebraska are worth $253,
000.000. which, I understand. Includes the
vslue of the franchises. My understand
ing of a franchise Is this: Suppose a cer
tain railroad company has a line 100 miles
long, and that It would require $2,000,000
to duplicate It. Now, supposing thst roal
has issued bonds to the amount of $1,750,
000 and stork to the amount of $1,600,000
more, and that the stocks and bonda are
selling, on the market at par. That rail
road Is worth $3,2S0,OO0, yet it could be
rebuilt complete for $2,000,000. The addi
tional $l.i;0,0CiO Is the value of the fran
chise, an intangible something, but never
theless a valuable aometblng because peo
ple will pay their money for it. It Is the
railroad's right to do business aa a com
mon carrier, to occupy a certain narrow
strip of land for the railroad right-of-way.
Of course, this franchise is not worth
anything unless thetroad la making money,
but whenever you find a road paying inter
est on Its bonds and declaring a dividend
of about 4 per cent a year you can depend
on It that it is not losing money."
The governor concludes bis statement
with the following: "As governor I have
tried earnestly and conscientiously to do
my duty. I have kept close watch on the
varloua matters which come under my su
pervision and I believe there was never a
time In the history of the state when the
Institutions were better managed and at
so little cost as at present In a few In
stances I have been harshly criticised for
doing what In my Judgment I considered
Just and right and time will peihayS brlug
a kindlier construction on this phase of
my administration, feeling that no matter
what others msy eay, my conscience Is
clear."
Reward for Mnrderer.
Governor Savage thla afternoon Issued a
proclamation offering a reward of $200 for
the arrest of the murder of 15-year-old
Waltermer Harbold. The boy was killed
on the morning of June II while passing
along the road just south of Grand Island.
He resided In Campbell.

denounced the present administration, re
announced their party allegiance and
adopted the platform laid down at the Sioux
Falls. 8. D.. convention. The conference
committee reported a nominee must be
lieve In the principles of the democratic
