TITE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 1904. V - - r WATSON BALKS ON KANSAS Insurti He Will Tull Out Unless Electoral Ticket it Placed iji Tield. POPULIST LEADERS HOLD CONFERENCE Fane Cowaty Ofnclale Will Cosae Dowm Moaday Espial" CfeaBare I Y"laatlo (From a Btaft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. , (Special.) The Kan gae populist convention win be repudiated by the popullt party and another, conven tion will be held. This was decided upon at a secret conference held lat rlftht by T. It. Tibbies, nominee for vice president; Secretary DeFrance of the populist na tional committee; J. A. Parker, member of the national populist executive com mittee, and several eastern popullsta who are here looking over the situation and whose identity 1 being kept secret. It waa announced at the conference that a democratic congressman was chairman the convention and a democraUo candi date for secretary of state was the secre tary. When the convention Instructed for Watson and Tibbies electors, the few popu lists present were caught off their guard and allowed the - democrats, who had packed the convention, to run things with a high hand. . . - "Whole sections of the state," sald one who was present at the conference, "were represented by one man In several In stances, and the whole convention was full of Parker democrats. One colored man who claimed to be a delegate rose in his seat and dramatically announced. It any man of my color can support Par ker, surely you white men can.' .The popu- . list party refuses to stand for such a convention and will not abide by It. An other convention will be held and a straight popullstlo ticket will be put In the field." Mr. Parker Is still in the city and has held several conferences with the popu lists' leaders. He made the announcement that in every state of the union there would be put up a populist, ticket" with Watson and Tibbies electors on it. T. H. Tlhhlos said the same thing. "We have the money with which to do It," he, said, "and this year every voter in the United States wilt have a chance to vote the nonulist .ticket." The announcement from Watson that he would resign from the ticket before he would stand for the Kansas convention or democratic electors lit Nebraska occa atoned the conference last night. "Watson Is a pretty determined man," said one of the leaders, "and he will not stand for any foolishness on-the part of the party, I feeV, sure he would resign before he would allow the two parties In any state to fuse on democratic electors." ' Thl man, however, thought there waa no chance of such a contingency arising in Nebraska. He was, however, concerned about the stale ticket and was fearful that the democrats would secure the big end of It Nance Cosmty to Explain. Officials (ran Nance county will come to Lincoln Monday or Tuesday to meet the members of the State Board of Equaliza tion for a dlcusslon of the -assessment of Nance county. In the returns filed with the board by the county assessor and the returns filed by the county clerk there was a difference of about o6,000, and It waa reported to the board the assessment was scaled down Just before the atate Doara conclude! Its work. The real facta in' the case, .however, are not known at the state house and today a meeting waa arranged for Monday. Bee rotary Bennett haa about concluded his work of certifying out to the counties the amount of taxes that each will have to pay, but in one or two counties there will likely be some change, due to clerical errors, and until these are corrected official figures will not be ready for the public Investigates the Prisoners. Governor Mickey waa besieged today with friends of convicts in the penitentiary who are seeking to secure for them exeou tlve clemency. In order to fully satisfy himself as to the merits in the several cases the governor tonight, after looking over the papers bearing on the case, made a trip to the penitentiary, where he talked wit hi the prisoners and made a personal Investigation. K. I Simon, who was ar rested yesterday on a charge of petit lar ceny, waa discharged in police court this morning, and for that reason the gov ernor will not return him. to the penlten tlary. Drummer Day at Assembly.

J. P. Bailey of Omaha talked about the work of the Sunday schools and its Im portance. Rev. W. N.
