(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Sept Jl.-tBpeclaL) The In
terview given out In St. Louis by Chan
cellor Andrews of the Btate university. In
which he expressed the opinion that the
republican leaders agreed to trkde legis
lative votes for votes for the republican
electors, has been duly discussed here, with
no evidence having been unearthed that
would afford a foundation for such a belief.
That the democratic state committee would
like to ret Into such an arrangement there
is every evidence to believe, and If by
such a combination the populist committee
could get votes for Candidate Berge they
also would not object to It. But the popu
list committee cannot deliver the populist
votes. One T. H. Tibbies, candidate for
vice president, has something to say about
the populist vote, and he Is agalnaCany
trade or combination that would make one
single vote In the legislature for W. J.
Iiryan for the senate.
This attitude taken by Mr. Tibbies has
brought on a breech between the two state
committees and the vice presidential can
didate that Is growing wider every day.
It was first brought to the attention of the
public on the occasion of the Berge meet
ing here last Saturday. Mr. Tibbies' name
was on the bill as one of the speakers.
But Mr. Tibbies didn't speak. Mr. Tibbie
wasn't present at the meeting. He had
not been consulted before his name went
on the bill and on the morning of the bar
becue he was Informed that rrobably he
would be wanted to speak for ten minutes.
This was too much for Mr. Tibbies and In
disgust he remained away from the picnic.
The second public exhibition of the breech
was given last night, when Judge England
gave a reception In honor of Mr. Tibbies.
He sent Invitations to all the members
of the populist and democratic headquar
ters and not a mem bee of either was pres
ent. The affair was not a political gather
ing, either. The trouble Is the democrats
are working to put Bryan In the senhte
and the populists are working to elect
Berge,
Tibbie Tfot Reconciled.
Berge Is now charged with going over
Into the fusion amp and for that reason
he will lose. If he has not already lost,
the entire Tibbies following. Tibbies la
against fusion or anything that resembles
fusion. He was asked this afternoon for
an expression of his views on fusion and
he said:
"I stand where I stood at first. Fusion
In a hurrbug. There can be no fusion be
tween a populist and a Parker democrat.
I stood that way before the state conven
tions and I stand tha,t way now and al
ways will."
In his speeoh here Saturday Mr. Berge
did not even mention the names of the na
tional candidates and failed even to say
a word of Tom Watson. That has ever
lastingly taken from him the good wlil of
Tibbie, as well as a number of other
prominent popullnts. One of them here has
received several letters from populists out
In the state which said that If Berge ex
pected to get the populist vote he would
have to hnve tha moral courage to whoop
things up far Watson. Thj letter con
cluded: "If he Is not that much of a pop
ulist ws don't wart hln."
Tlbb'.es anJ the mid-road populists will
fight Bryan to a finish a. id many of them
believe that Berge expects to be elected
by democratic and republican votes rather
than by the votes of the democrats and
populists. For that reason Mr. Berge Is
now on the brink o losing much populist
support.
