(From a, Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Auk. 18. (Special.) Tha ar rival of tha republican conrcntlon advanca guard. Including several candldataa (or nomination, has qulckana4 tha polltloal talk around tha hotala whara tha politicians congregate.- Everybody haa a confident air, ao far aa hla preferred candidates ara con cerned, yet at tha aama tlma la forced to admit that abaolutaly nothing la yet set tled beyond peradventure. While thara la much speculation aa to tha various places a the ticket. Interest centers on tha sena torshlp and next on the governorship. "I think It wilt come down eventually to straight choice between Brown and Rosewater," said a uaually well versed politician tn front of tha Lindall today. "Norrli Brown haa made more headway than anyone gave him credit for at the tart; but he la atlll quite a distance from the necessary majority of the convention, and the question is whether ha can hold hla strength long enough to grow and bring It over the line. The opposition to Brown Is at preaent scattered among several can didates, with Rosewater well In the lead and the natural place for them to center. "The first scrap, however, may be ex pected at the start when tha effort la made to pass up tha nomination of a senator In convention altogether. Thla may oome In one of aeveral forma, but If tried will pre cipitate a direct vote which will disclose Just how much strength tha railroad crowd, which Is against nomination, has In the convention and where It Is located. "If the railroad bunch Is satisfied that ' it cannot turn the trick It may not at- tempt to, and this la very likely to be tha case. After that they may play the same game they did In the democratic conven- ' tlon by .trying to reverse tha order of tha call and put the senatorshlp last Instesd of first, with a view to sidetracking It mora easily when tha delegates are tired out and a lot of them have gone home. Friends of the candidates who are looking for nomi nation, however, will, I am sure, be wide awake and will not let themselves be out Played by any crafty move tike this." - Ironclad Infractions for Brown. 8T. PAUL, Neb., Aug. 18. (Special Tele grorn.) The republican county conven tion was held here today with a full at tendance from all precincts, and a spirited . contest between the Rosewater and Brown adherents, the senatorial Issue over shadowing all other questions.
