GOVERNOR POSTPONES TRIP Announcement Mad After a Conference with Baniom and Mercer.

The unheralded visit of D. H. Mercer and Frank Ransom during the early hours' this morning may be significant In connection with the Indefinite poatponement of Oov ernor Savage's trip to Omaha to confer with Interested persons regarding the Fire and Police commission appointments, especially aa the two men were In close consultation with the governor while here.' They came on the train arriving here at 12:40 a. m. They were Joined down town by the gov ernor and together the three went to the Elks' clubrooms, where they remained while the reports of the Jeffrlee-Fltxslmmons prize' fight were coming In. After the knock out they went to the Lincoln hotel, where they remained in uninterrupted conference for over an hour. The midnight visitors left the city on tha 7:45 train, returning to Omaha. "That waa all a pipe dream," said a man close to the governor, speaking of the re port In The Bee that Oovernor Savage would arrive In Omaha at t o'clock this afternoon. "He didn't Intend to go any of the time." Notwithstanding the declaration of Gov ernor Savage and his friends to the con trary, there are good grounds for the as sertton that the meeting of the early morn ing was prearranged, but on short notice, and that It was all because of the gov ernor's expressed intention to listen to Omaha taxpayers before making the ap pointments. Tha reason Mercer I Inter esting himself In the case la self-evident for with a commission whose appointment he has dictated or Influenced he will be In a position to exercise authority over the commission's creatures. One msn almost hysterically remarked when he heard of the court's decision declaring It to be the duty of the governor to make the appoint ments, "that will save Mercer If he can name the men for the commission." tecumseh Chautauqua OPENS!

To the Editor of The Bee: A local newspaper charges me with having two years sgo repudiated the re publican platform, for which I voted as a delegate from thla district In the national republican convention. Tbe charge Is false. I should be Judged by what I ssld, and not by the headlines that were written by the World-Herald. The platform declared specifically that the pledge to Cuba should be kept. Any republican campaign speaker who argued otherwise two years sgo repudiated the platform of hia party. Any republican speaker who argued that China was to be divided by the powers of Europe and that It wa necessary for our commercial In tereats to obtain sovereignty over a por lion of China In the expected division, has been proved to be out Nof harmony with republican policies. Any republican who argued in favor of the colonial system in the Philippines snd sympathised with the restrictions upon the elective franchise which baa been adopted by the democratic party - In the southern state, repudiated that plank In the republican national plat form which In effect condemned the demo cratic party for disfranchising the laboring population of tbe south who happened to be colored. President Roosevelt himself. in his Decoration day address, has trested the question of the permsnent government of the Philippine Islands as an open one and said that it ahould not be determined until after a stable government la formed. Freedom la Philippines. i Meanwhile, all the legislation In refer ence to the Islands haa tended toward giv ing them local self-government and en couraging them to participate In political affairs. More freedom In the Ajnerlcan sense haa been given to the Philippines in the short space of four years than was ever given by any other conquering people to their subjects In a century. Every person who Knows me, knows that my love Tor and belief in freedom makea me aympathlze with the present course ana willing to assist in Its fruition. It is not the manner, but the end, we seek. "That In the end freedom In the American aenae will be obtained through the republican party always It champion I have no doubt Many political Issues existed long before the Spanish war and will exist after Phil ippine affaire have passed Into history. Who ever knew of a republican being con demned by his fellows because he loved freedom and believed that only In the bet terment of the conditions of the poor can aoclety improve? I care not whether tho poor are the tolling masses of the norm, the disfranchised laborers of the south or the helpless subjects of othcx nations. Par ticipation In and responsibility for the af fair of government la the only policy that ever developed Individuality and charactr? In any people.
