WANTS TO CONTROL JUDGES AND CLERKS lka Gs Thraagh Caaaty loa mitt fcr Vetee of Coaaty Pre elaete geveath eat Jflath Ward. The republican county cantral commit tee yesterday, by a close vote, surrendered to the congressional committee Its rights and powers to conduct the forthcoming primary election at which delegates to ths county and congressional conventions are to be chosen. Furthermore the commit tee resolved to require republlcsn voters. Including those regularly registered as re publicans, to make oath that they voted for the republican electoral ticket at the last presidential election before they can vote at the primary in oase they are chal lenged. After the county committee adjourned the congressional committee met at the office of Mr. Mercer'a campaign manager, called the congressional convention for the forenoon of Saturday, September SO, de cided te admit the delegates already se lected by the eounty conventions ot Wssh lngton and Sarpy, denied to Douglas county the right to select Its delegation In the same way, and fixed an apportionment giving ths Omaha wards, where Mercer le weakest, only seven delegstes eacn, the South Omaha wards three delegate each and the county precincts, where Mercer is supposed to be etrongest, three delegstes each. Can didates Cornish and Breen were called la to address the congressional committee be fore it acted, but their argument and pleas for fair play were answered by Mr. Black burn telling them that the action of the committee had been arbitrarily decided upon tn advance. Coaaty Committee Proceeelaae. The' county committee met at Washing ton hall at I:tO In the afternoon, with Chairman Goes . presiding and Ofty-nlns members present or represented by proxy. As soon as order had been called the chair man recognised W. F. Gurley, as proxy for Harry Morrill ot the Fourth ward, who Introduced the following resolution: Reeolved, That the chairman of this committee be authorised end directed to call a primary election of Douglas county republican for Frldsy. September 19. 19u3. to seleot 178 delegates to represent Douglas county In the county convention to be called to meet at Omaha, September 10, That the apportionment of delegatee be ten for each ward In the city of Omaha, five for each country precinct and three for each ward In the city of South Omaha. That for the purpose of this primary election the boundaries of the voting dis tricts be for the cltlee of Omaha and South Omaha the same aa the boundaries) of the various wards respectively; for the country precincts, the same as the bounda ries of the precincts respectively. That the filing of namee to be placed on the official ballots and th conduct of the primary election be governed by the rules adopted by this committee in so far ; as they are appropriate. mat tne cnairman ot tnis committee la hereby authorised and empowered to ap point a committee of five, of which the chairman ehall be a member, to confer with the concreeslonal. city and Judicial committee, and to make arrangements for a simultaneous primary on the date above set forth, end for the naming of election officers snd the selection of poll ing places. Ana II said simultaneous pit merles be aa-reed upon by the represents tlves of this committee, and either or any or tne otners, then tne cnairman and see retary ere hereby authorised and sen now ered to Include the call of the same In tne notice to be posted and published. That no petitions for names to be Disced on the official- nrlmarv ballot shall f re. quired for or on behalf of any candidates' ror oeiegates irom any of the- country Coaaell Call for Pair Play. W. J. Connell objected to that Bart ef the resolution which sought to give Into tne nana or a committee known to be an tagonistic to three of the four congres sional candidates the power to name the Judges aad clerks and select the polling pieces tor us primaries. He questioned the right ot the committee, as representa tive of the republicans of the county, thue to surrender its prerogative, and armed that the resolution wss drawa for the pur pose of giving one of the congressional candidates an unfair and undeserved ad vantage over the other three. Mr. Gurley made a long speech.- In which he declared that the purpose of the reso lution wss to secure a vote on the con gressional proposition sepsrately from the vote on candidates for county offices. Hs avowed that the congressional committee, of which he is a member, was disposed to treat all candidates for ths congressional nomination fairly, but failed to exclala why he desired the Judges and clerks and polling placss for the primaries to b aa. lected by a committee controlled abso lutely by Mr. Mercer. Charles Unltt. R. W. Breckenrldse. A. H. Burnett and O. C Thompaoa spoke In fa vor of the resolution, and Joseph Koutsky and H. C. Murphy of South Omaha and Theodore Oleen, members of the commit tee, aad E. J. Cornish and John P. Breen, candidates for congress, argued In opposl. tlon. Ths cone-resslonal sntiHaa ..m that alt they wanted wss fair rlav. which thsy felt surs of getting In the event In couaty committee did not give over Its right te conduct the primaries to the con gresslonal committee, which is known to be antagonists to all but one of the con gresalonal candidates. Mr. Coralah Appeal to Raasoa. Mr. Cornish said U part: "I am willing to let the congressional commutes make the apportionment of con gresilonal delegatee for this county and te have the county committee endorse such an apportionment if it is any thing like a fair ens. I am willing t have delegstes to ths eeuaty and congressional convsntlons voted for separately at th primaries, so as hot to complicate the congressional contest with that between candidates for county offices. But I want ths selection of the Judges and clerks aad the polling places for the prt msrlee to be determined by the eounty com mittee, wHose members were chosen without any reference to their choice for congress man, lnstsad ot by ths congressional com mittee, all of whom are for Mercer, aad a special committee te be appointed by Chair, man Goes, who haa expreaasd himself for Mercer. Ths resolution presented by Mr. Gurley establishes a precedent that destroys the county as a political unit. Under such a precedent the ststs commutes could make ons apportionment of delegates to a stats ccaventloa for all the counties In the stats excepting Douglas county, and then maks a different apportionment for this county, thereby destroying all opportunity for united sctloa by ths republican party." The first vote en the question of surrend ering to ths congresslonsl committee was Uksn ea a substitute motion made by Mr. Connsll te have the meeting proceed with the formulation of a call tor the primaries, during whloh proceeding . the committee could vote on the different propositions si pressed In the resolution separately. . Ths rell waa called and SecreUry Messlck an nounce ths result as 1JI la ths sfflrmatlvs aad tl la ths negative, although two of the itri tyf ryuiArs present and sev eral ef the members kept a tally which thowed the vote as 10 to 19 ta favor ef the substitute. Ths Question th cam on the adoption of DAILY KEF.: SUNDAY, the resolution, and although two of th member who had voted for ths Connell sub stitute T-rtrd tor the molntloa. ths result was tl to 21 la favor ef the resolution before three ether members changed tkrir votes, making the flnal tally tl to 23. Several members who kept tally were firmly con vlared thai the secretary had mads a mis take tn tallying the vote en the ConneJl snb stitnte and that It really passed by a ma jority ot on vote. Under ths provisions ot the Gmler reso- tnUoa. which waa declared adopted. Chair man Goes appointed the following commit tee te canter with the congreaslonal and Judicial committers: CTssrles A. Goas and G. C Thompson ef the N'a.TS ward. A. H. Burnett of the Seventh. Charles Pottet of Dundee and J. C Trontman ot South Omaha. R. W. Breckenrldge then Introduced ths following resolution, which wss adopted after brief debate: Resolved. That no terson shall be en titled to vote at any primary election In the primary election districts where regls trstlon of party affiliations ta provided by law unless his name appears ss registered, excepting such persona as sre entitled runder the primary election law to special registration, and no person shall be en titled to vote at sny primary election In any event unleae he voted the republican electoral ticket at the last preceding presi dential election nr will make n.lH thut ha has changed his party affiliations since mai nate ana expects nereerter to vote the republican ticket.

Mr. Oonnell was then recognised.. He said that he had prepared a resolution, the adoption of which would promote bar mony. tie read the following: Whereas. It is desirable in the Interest of tne republican party and to avoid com bltcatlons end rttntrnversv over ths splee t'on of delegatee to the Second district congressional convention that the congres sional committee of said district and ths republican county committee of Douglas i-uumy snouia worn in narmony ana mat the action taken and calls Issued bv said committees should not In any manner con flict; therefore, for the purpose of bringing about unity of action and reaching a satis factory understanding, be It Resolved, That the republican county vuinnimee- 01 i.-ougiRS county, ns repre senting th. rniihllron naftv ef nnn. has the clear right to provide for the selec tion of deleaates to the ponarssslnnAl rnn. ventlon, It being the province and power ui in- congressional committee merely to determine the time snd place of holding the consreaslonal convention anil th mm. ber of delegates to be assigned to ear a of me counties witnin sold congressional .'.is. inci; ana, oe it rurtner Resolved, Thst the congressional commit tee be notified of the action of this com mittee end be furnished with a copy of this resolution snd that for such purpose and for the purpose of having carried Into effect thle resolution the committee to be appointed by the chair present the same to the congressional committee and urge Mr. Cornish was called upon and took up the matter of apportionment between the counties, showing that If the same basis or apportionment was used In Omaha as In the remainder of Douglas county and the apportionment based upon the vote cast for Mr. Mercer at the last election, the basis being one delegate for each 100 votes cast ror tne candidate, no precinct would have more than one delegate, and that It would not be fair to change the basis, but hs was willing to concede two to each pre cinct outside of the city. He asked D. H. Klrschner, a member of ths committee rrom the country, If that was not fair. "It Is fair epough," replied the commlt- i-mtuau, 'Tui . we are Wlllinc to tska all mat we can get."

Th committee ac cepted the resignation ot J. L. Carson as a member and his successor was appointed by Drid H. Mercer selecting George C. Thompson. A messenger wss sent out to bring In the candidates tor nomination and reported Mr. Pratt out of the city. Mr. Breen being called upon to express his idea of what the committee should do, said that as a lawyer he was of the opinion that the committee could do no more than fix the time and place for holding the con vention and determine the number of dele gates from each county composing the district; that the selection of delegates by Washington and Sarpy counties was Ir regular and In the case of thu former county probably Illegal, aa there waa no positive cell for the selection of delegates Issued by the county committee at the time the convention waa hsld. Chairman Blackburn said that the committee had already decided that It had power to ap portion the delegates to ths warda and precincts of Douglas county, and Mr. Breen replied: "I never desire to talk te a jury after it haa returned a yrdlct." sia-nran naai lae feists. , The question of the Selection of Judges and clerks of election came up and the candi dates were Invited to present list of ths names ot persona, they desired to have on the returning boards of ths precincts, the Judgee aad clerks to be apportioned between the candidate.

Not Since the visit here of President Hayes, twenty-five years ago, has a chief executive been ao corded so brilliant and thoroughly general a reception as that tendered here today to President Roosevelt.

Cheers Masy aad Load. At 1:25 the procession through the city began. Presidential and business sections of the eity were gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and for the greater part of the way there were two solid line of peo ple, who had come from every portion of the state to welcome the president. Flags were waved, hats doffed and enthuslastlo cheers given. On arriving at City hall the presidential party was escorted to an Immenss elsvatsd platform In front of the building. When ths president appeared he was greeted by a great demonstration. In which 15,000 voice Joined. Those Inevitable Mattering. Acting Mayor Freeman introduced Presi dent Roosevelt, who spoke aa follows: We are passing throush a nerlod of rrent material prosperity and such a period is as sure as adversity itsen to nrlng mutter tnss of dlacontent. At a time when mt tr.en prosper somewhat It always happen in a tew men prosper greatly, and It Is as trus now as it was when the tower ot HI loam fell upon all who were under It, that rood fortune does not omn nnlv tn th. Just, nor bad fortune only to the unjust. When the weather la good for crops It hi also good for weeds. Moreover, not only do the wicked flourish when the times such that most men flourish, but what Is worse, ths spirit of envy and Jealousy and hatred springs up In the breasts of those who, though they may be doing fairly well themaelves, yet see others, who are no more ueverving, aoing iar Better. Wis Laws Fearlessly Eaferee. Wise lews and fearless and Upright ad ministration of the laws can glvs the op portunity for such prosperity as that we see shout us. But this is all that they can do. When the conditions havs been cre ated which make prosperity possible, then each Individual man must achieve It for himself, by his own thrift. Intelligence, energy, industry and resolute purpose. If when people wax fat they kick, aa they have been prone to do since the days of Jeshurun, they will speedily destroy their own prosperity. If they go Into wild speculation and lose their hesds, they hsve lost that which no legislation pan supply, and the business world wllj suffer in consequence. If In a spirit of sullen envy they insist upon pull lng down those who have profited most by the year of fatness, they will bury them selves In the crtih of the common disaster. It la difficult to maks our material condition better by the best law, but It Is easy erough by bad laws to throw ths whols nation Into an abyss of misery. Now the upshoot of all this Is that It Is particularly incumbent upon ua. In a time 0( auch material well being, both col lectively as a nation and Individually, each on his own account, to show that we poa sc-ss the qualities of prudence, self-knowl edge and self-rvstralnt. In our government ws need above all things stability, flxlty of conomlo policy, while remembering that thla ttxity must not be fosslllsation that there must not be Inability to snap our courss anew to meet the shirting needs of the people as these needs arise.

( tury, nd wher men are gathered together ; In great masses It Ine-rttaWy results thst they must work far more largely by means or combinations among themselves than when they live Isolated from one another. Now, I suppose that most or us prefer en many accounts the old conditions of Ufa, under which the avers man lived more to himself and by himself, when th aver age community was more self-dependent, snd where, even though the standard of comfort was lower on the average, yet mere was ess oi tne timing inequality In worldly conditions which ws now see In our great cltlee. U Is not true that the poor hsve grown poorer, but some of the rich have grown so very much richer that where multitudes or men sre nerned tosether In a limited space the contrast strike the onlooker as more violent tnan formerly. On the whole, our people earn more and live better than ever before, and the progress of whloh we are ao proud could not have taken place had It not been for the great upbuilding oi inirrmiriai cenierp. sucn as our commer cial snu manufacturing cities. Both Good aad Rvll. But together with the good there has com a measure oi evil. Lrfie Is not s.i simple SS it was. and surelv both for the individual snd the community ths simple life Is normally the healthy life. There is not in tne citiea tne same sense ot common underlying brotherhood which there Is still in country localities, and the lines ot social cleavage are far more clearly marked. For some 'of the evils which have at tended upon the changed conditions we can at present see no complete remedy. For others, the remedy must corns by action among themselves In the private capacity, whether merely aa Individuals or by combination, one with snother. For yet omers some otner remedy csn be round in legislative and executive sctlon, national, slate or municipal. Much of the complaint sgalnst combinations Is entirely unwar ranted.
