NO HOPE FOR SUCCESS AT BEGINNING State Committee Ofllelal Isaae Cam. oala Valedictory In Which They gay "One People germed Dead In the "hell." (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Nov. 1. (Special.) Since th close of the campaign some Information haa com out which throwa a new light on Its conduct, especially with reference to the populist end of the fusion combination, The official organ of the party, published here. In Its latest Issue, tells some of the Inside history that la Interesting. If not Important. It declares that at the close of the Grand Island conventions, a Uttlo knot of men who have long been fighters In the ranks and none of whom ever held office, got together and bad a heart-to heart talk. The opinion of all was that we hsd no chance of success this year but we would keep up our organization and make the best fight we could. It goes on to say that a large number of the old reform voters were dissatisfied with tho fusion administration was well known. Not that it was not honest and economical, but because when we bad tho power we failed to do all that might have been done. The most of the dissatisfaction waa with the railroad commission, and those old workera who bad sacrificed so much in their Until against the railroads were very much displeased. That was the report from every psrt of the state. Then the taking of little fees and other per quisites, besides the constitutional salarlea, although sanctioned by the courts, had taken th heart out of the workers. One of those present remarked that he won dered that w had such a convention and aa much Interest aa we did have after all these things. But nope of the little flock proposed to give up. As far aa they were concerned they would fight as long as they had lite and breath. Refer to Railroad Influence. After the campaign had got well started things began coming our way, continues the article, and many republicans thought that the fusion governor would make it and the railroad candidate would be de feated. Then the story was started that the B. ft M. road was doing nothing to elect Mickey that. In fact, that It was aiding Thompson. Many of the best posted men In the fusion party were led to believe that the B. A M. really desired the defeat of Mickey. It was so stated In Omaha and Lincoln and all over the state. Sunday before the election old populists began to send in inquiries asking if it were true and expressing the determina tion to abandon the fight. A conaultation was held and while it waa acknowledged that the B. & M. had been generous in Its offers of transportation, it had all beeu courteously refused, and tb managers told point blank that the candidates would stand by the platform upon which tbey were nominated. But this story waa told in every town and village in the state and the disappointed element. In the party were ready to believe it. . The article ;.ays the populiata in par ticular are greatly disheartened by the fusion failure thla year. They are trying to put up good face In expressing a hope that thlnga may atlll come their way and that they propose to flght It out on prin ciple, although without sight of the spoils. Isaae Campaign Valedictory. In this connection Chairman Weber and Secretary Farrla have isaued a proclama tion aa sort of campaign valedictory, the moat pertinent sections of which read: At the opening of this campaign every thing waa against us and not even the most sanguine of our party workers believed we could win. But we went Into the fight hoping at least to cut down the republican majority of two years ago, which waa made by Imported votes, free railroad transporta tion and other republican methods. We have been cramped for funds aa never before. This retarded the work planned by this committee very materially. Our people seemed to be "dead In the shell" politically. Many party leaders said there was no use to try. Later In the campaign the situation looked more encouraging. It became evi dent that the fusion ticket would make ma terial gains In tho cities and towns where the people began to realise what It meant to their pocketbooks. We believed the farmer would awake to this fact also and that they would go to the polls and vote. The eariy returns verified our Judgment Htid Indicated a fusion victory scf conclusive that at 10 o'clock election night the repub lican state committee conceded the election of the fusion state ticket. But when the returns begar to come In from the country districts It showed a relative loss and this continued till the battle waa lost. The populists are trying bard to keep their people in line through repreaentatlon that defeat la duo exclusively thla year to th atay-at-home vote, but privately they are saying what on of the leader aald this week: "I'm afraid th Jig Is up.

FRIENDLY SUGGESTION TAKES DEEP ROOT Denaiy Ilelonrh Debates Probability of hat May Prove More Oaten talloaa Trip Than That of Prince Henry. PARIS. Nov. 18. Depuly Deloncle haa been Interviewed with regard to hi state ment at the banquet of the Industrial. Com mercial and Economical society Friday, that he haa received Information that the St. Louis Exposition commission had de cided to Invite President Loubet to visit America. He saya the matter was not In tended to be made public yet. Two years sgo he mentioned to the exposition officials the possibility of a visit from President Loubet. It wss a mere after-dinner re mark to which he did not attach much Ira. portance. He waa surprised, h says, when he received Information from St. Louis that the idea might materialize and that a proposal to extend a tormal Invitation to President Loubet to visit the exposition was being seriously considered. Why It I Possible. "I attribute this action," M. Deloncle continues, "to a warm and profound liking on the part of Americana for France, es pecially alnco tho ROcbambeau fetes. Th Journey of Prince Henry of Prussia to tho I'nlted States has also made many Amer ican friends of France feel that if the Oer man emperor thought proper to eend his brother to the launching of a yacht. Presi dent Loubet might not be Indifferent to the Louisiana Purchase centenary. "Ther are few eventa In tbe history of Franc more glorious than the ceaslon of Louisiana by Napoleon Bonaparte when ha waa first consul. Tb St. Louis Exposition commission doubtless believes that the best way ot enowlng Afflcrlca'a gratltudo to France would be to Invito the president of the Third French republic to the centenary celebration of this act of the first republic. The Journey would be quite constitutional, for precedents exist In the visits to Russia of the late President Faure and of Presi dent Loubet himself. It ha been aald that King Edward may go to the St. Louis ex position and It la probable that th king of the Belgians will also pay the exposi tion a visit. If President Loubet goes he would certainly make a more triumphant trip than did Prince Henry of Prussia." MANY CHANGES IN CONGRESS (Continued from First Page.)

Mr. Scudder, who formerly represented the same district, Mr. Storm losing, so it Is said, because ot his Inability to accommodate 1,000 applicants for post offices when he only had a dozen of these plums at bis dispoaal. Charles F. Joy of St. Louis, one of the two republicans who represented that city, will not have tb certificate of re-eleo-tlon. Joy Is a member of the committee on account In the present house and it Is somewhat strange that Mr. Bull, chair man of that committee, should also hav been defeated and that the clerk. Tyler Page, waa also an unsuccessful candidate, losing In on of tb Maryland districts. It ! Is thought juit possible that Mr. Joy will file a contest and If he doca there prom ises to be some fanny development. For instance, in one precinct polling about 600 votes, in which there la usually a dem ocratlo majority of from fifty to 100, not a single republican vote waa recorded al though no less than three government em ployes Journeyed all the way from Wash ington to St. Louis for th only purpose of voting for Mr. Joy.

"Liberty Belles" applies perhaps as well as any other name that could be suggested for the piece which waa glvon ita first production in tbla city last evening at tha Boyd theater and equally any other name would be aa apt. Almost any old nam would fit and none would be comprehen sive. The piece is of th class now desig nated gencrlcally as musical comedy am! It is all of that. 'There is music and there is comedy In abundance, and it I dispensed fn a most pleasing manner. Aa la usual In tha musical comedy there I no par tlcular attempt at consequent plot, and la this case more ao than ordinarily. A to tbe music there Is nothing particularly striking or pretentious, but It Is all bright and ploasing and tbe lines are bright and witty throughout. Pretty girls and clever girls, most of whom are both pretty and clever, and all of whom slog well, form the predominant element of the "Liberty Belles." Aa a chorus the girls sing well and look be wltchlngly pretty and several of them ap pear to advantage in specialties. Harry Gllfoil la an Important factor In the fun-making and the general action of the piece, and Is afforded opportunities for his well known Imitations. Harry Linton and John Gllroy are tbe comedians, and contribute materially to the enjoyment ot the audience. Augusta Glose, Katie Rooney and Violet Dale each had several aongs In which they earned hearty applauae and the McCoy slater In a aong and dance mad a decided hit. The house waa as large as the theater would accommodate and a number of women stood throughout the performance In tho aide alalea and at tbe foyer entrancea. "Liberty Belles" will be repeated tonight. At the Crelahton-Orplienm. Quit tb largest crowd that ever at tended a Orpheum matinee waa present yesterday afternoon to greet the new bill, and In the evening another jam waa recorded. And th bill waa worthy tbe patronage and applauae beatowed on It. None that haa been offered ao tar this aeaaoa contained mora of good thing. It la a laughing bill throughout, although tb merriment ia engendered by different meth ods. First In merit among tha lot coma Miss Lillian Burkbart and ber company In a new skit, "Th Salt Cellar." This I on of th best things this charming ctreaa haa brought to us, clean, dainty, even de licious in Ita conceit, and staged and acted with consummate taste. It merely deals with the first meal of a newly wedded pair at home, shewing over what trivial matter a quarrel may aria. In tb work, lng out of tho thought lie th merit of th sketch, and the moral 1 contained in th epilogue so charmingly spoken by Miss Burkhart. Sunday vaudeville patron do not commonly take kindly to th "legit," but they war not only graeiou, but ex. ceedlngly cordial to Mlaa Burkhart and her assistant yesterday. For the children this week' bill contain a decided novelty la th way of Rleabona'a horse and dogs. Th "good night" horse, who disrobe, get Into bed and cver himself up I only on of a company that doea many novel and entertaining atunts, and ao neatly aa to elicit much applause. On of th Yankee Comedy Four, all of whom ar clever comedian, ao cloaely resembles Bob Fltzstmmon that, wer he to dlarard th announced Imitation, might easily pasa for tha lanky pugilist. Their act haa a moat uproarious finish, and waa well received. Crawford and Stanley divide th aong and danc work on original llnea. Stanley dances grotesquely and well, while Craw ford plays the piano with head, handa and feet, and sings some wall known ditties in a good vole. O'Brien and Buckley, well known In Omaha, furnish much fun by their witty dialogue. Interspersed with good In strumental mualo. Ryan and Nadln ar a good pair of comedian acrobats, and Mitchell and Lev round out a comedy bill of a sort seldom seen la vaudeville. f rown Frlne mt Coroaada.
