Attorney General Prout aave this office an opinion four years ago that thirteen weeks' notice would con form to the constitution." Governor Mickey professes to be very much exercised over the matter and he said an unnamed prominent lawyer told him the failure to begin the publications last week was vital to the legality of the amendments, even If they were ratified. Other lawyers, however, hold that the supreme court will not permit the will of the people to be thwarted by any quibble over the notice publication. Berae Stirs Ip Something. George W. Berge has started something in Lancaster county and he will have the fight of his life to get an Instruction here for his candidacy for the democratic nom ination for governor. The editorial In his paper some days ago In which he said the democratic leaders sulked In their tents two years ago and left him to fight the bat tles of the people alone was bad enough, so the democrats are saying, but now that he has demanded an Instructed delegation the "last straw has been placed on a long suffering camel's back. Attorney toyle, who used to be Berge's law partner and who respects his sincerity. Is opposed to an instructed delegation. 80 Is Dr. Hall, and so Is Mayor Brown, and so Is Richard L. Metcalfe. On the Berge editorial Mr. Metcalfe today Issued the fol lowing statement: I know nothing of Lancaster county poli tics and have no intention of taking part In county convention. But I have a very thorough conviction that nothing Is to be gained by quarrels among democrats or between democrats and populists. Neither is there necessity for such quarrels. Let us give the republicans the monopoly on that line. The editorial In Mr. Berge's ftaper to which democrats take umbrage was most unfortunste. I have no Idea that the gentleman who wrote It Intended It to lis a libel on Nebraska democrats; for I know the writer as one who has for many years given faithful service to th. democracy. But as the editorial was printed. It stands as a libel upon men who in 1!M gave to Mr. Berge, th. populist, as faithful support as they ever gave to the most 'radical demo crat. 80 faithful were th. democrats to Mr. Berge that at 11 o'clock on the night of election, his election was Indicated by 15.00 plurality; such would have been the result had populists supported him wltn th. unanimity shown by democrats. The objectionable editorial would leave th. Im pression that every man that had been prominent in democratic leadership de serted Mr. Berge and left him to fight the battle alone. That Is. of course, utterly abiurd. I know sometling about the demo cratic campaign of two years ago and I venture the assertion that one cannot nam. three democrats recognised as leaders who failed to give Mr. Berge hearty support. Kven men who had been known as leaders of th. gold democrsts Joined heartily in th. support given the democratic nomine, for governor in 19f4. I While Mr. Kerge did not write the 00 I Jectlondble editorial, it was printed In his I paper and goes out with th. stamp of his I approval. It Is so unjust to the men who faithfully supported the ticket two years sgo that Mr. Berge should have repudiated It long ago. I am surprised he hss not don. so. I am sure that th. desire among demo crsts, generally, Is to choose as their can didate for governor the man who seems to he th. strontest. Ther. is not th. smallest danger that the railroads will control our nominations this year. It Is not fslr for th. supporters of any one candidate to say that those who do not support their favorlt. ar. controlled by th. corporations. You can trust th. democratic convention of IKS to ae. to It that th. nomine, for governor is a man who Is fre. from th. slightest suspicion of corporation entanglements. with populists that I could support a fusion populist as cordially as I could a democrat, but I would not willingly .sub scribe to the statement that one member of our party qualified to carry the anti monopoly standard is one who does not claim to belong to It. 1 think It would be well If a contest In Mr. Bryan's home 1 county wer. avoided. To this end, Mr. Berge ought to repudiate the editorial to I which objections have very properly been made. He can do this gracefully, for the simple reason that neither he nor any olher man big enough to be governor of Nebraska can afford to stand sponsor for the false Impression conveyed by that editorial. Then let a delegation b. agreed upon and selected without a contest. In all my observations at democratic ststa conventions since the old time "gold demo crat" fights I do not remember of a serious disagreement among the Iancaster delegation. Certulnly no one who aspires for democratic honors need fear to trust his claims to a delegation composed of men who sre anxious for a democratic victory In Nebraska and are reso'ved to sacrifice every personal preference or pre judice in order to contribute to that end. We have a good chance this year. Let us not spoil It by brandishing clubs. If I have a personal enemy among the demo crats of th. stste, I will cheerfully sup port him for nomination and election If It be the consensus of opinion at the state convention that he Is the strongest man. We need not be Interested In th. per sonal ambitions of any man; our chief anxiety should be for the success of th. party through a victory that In Its results to th. public will b. worthy of the effort. If we can all work along that line, we will choose a ticket that can not be defeated. At all events, let us con duct our ante-convention fight so ther. will be no sore spots when the real battle begins. News of Nebraska. GENEVA A fine shower fell yesterday, soaking the ground nicely.
