FARE REFORMERS' TROUBLES
Jwnal-KiWB-Brown- Cotnbiiation Will
Hart ft Hard Time Explaining.
EARLY UTTERANCE3 RISE AGAINST THEM
Rallroa Politicians Have Don a
Little tho assootheet Work of Their
Long Career la "eoroska
Politics.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Au. . Special.) "The
ell out of the Joumal-News-Brown com
bi nation to the Burlington machine In
11 Lancaster county In order to vet an en
dorsement for Norrls Brown In the county
convention for United Btatee senator,"
aid a Lancaster politician, "has risen up
as a mighty embarrassment for the fake
reformers.
"By the time' the Burlington machine
landed the old time railroad wire-pullers,
"4 j John McKesson and Joe Burns, for state
senators. Ever since the Journal-News
began to pump hot air reform the two
Lancaster senatorial candidates have been
held up as shining examples of what the
republicans of Lancaster should not tol
erate. , Since the tie-up, kowever, by
which Brown got the Lancaster delega
tion, the two papers have endorsed these
two men. whom they themselves stamped
as railroad tools and agents.
"To epdorse them further or work for
their election stamps the News-Journal
as Insincere In Its alleged work for the
elimination of the railroads from the
control of Nebraska politics. Another
thing the fake reformers are worrying
about Is the fact that McKeuson and
Burns are not Instructed to .vote for the
convention nominee for ' senator, and If
tin Burlington' concludes to change Its
mind and not send Brown to the senate.
Of course It can depend upon McKesson
and Burns voting for some one elie.
"In thu meantime It will be Impossible
for Norrls Brown to come Into Lancaster
county and ask the republicans to vote
' for - reform, as personified by McKesson
"ft and Burns. The columns of the Journal
V would be pulled on him the first rattle
4" oitf.of the box.
at' ' "The "railroads never before played poli
tics so smoothly. If you will take a look
over the counties Instructed for Brown you
will, in many cases, find railroad agents
nominated for the legislature. This Is
the deal through which the Burlington
let Norrls Brown be the convention nomi
nee for senator."
Lighting Daring; Fair.
Cltlsens of Lincoln will spend some
money this year for the first time on street
lighting during the state fair. Lights will
be strung along O street out to Twenty
seventh from the postofflce and In several
Instances along the side streets. The rea
son of this Is the homecoming reception
to William J. Bryan, which Is set for
September i. The lights, however, will be
run every night during the state fair.
Lincoln Is looking for the biggest crowd
ever assembled here on the occasion of
the Bryan reception, as thousands of peo
ple from the state and outside of the stated
have signified their Intention of coming.
The railroads are preparing to handle the
Immense crowds by putting on extra
lraln
Nebraskans to Sea Girl.
The Nebraska team of sharpshooters who
will go to Bea Girt on September I has
been chosen by the umpires with the camp
at Columbus. B. B. Bridges of Alma and
William Duffy of Stanton made the high
. est score 'of the thirty-six men In camp.
The score of each was SO. At Baa Olrt
tba team wlir be In charge of Lieutenant

any in the United States.

Convention Incident. .
PERU, Neb.. Aug. 28. (Special.) Ellis
E. Good, Nemaha's candidate for state
treasurer, returned home last evening
from the state convention and when seen
this morning at the OUienr State bank
expressed himself as well pleased with
the ticket and said there were no sore
spots on him. He said: "I suppose It Is
the natural thing for the reporter to
charge Tom Majors with throwing the
Nemaha vote to Norrls Brown In order to
even up with his old-time enemy. Editor
Rosewater, but the facts are Colonel
Majors never so much as requested the
delegation to vote for Brown, but was In
harmony with the delegation on every
vote. In Justloe to all I feel that I should
say that I am responsible for Nemaha
going to Brown. I recommended It to our
delegation, believing that a large ma
jority of the republicans of Nemaha county
are Brown men, and not because I had It
In for Mr. Rosewater, for personally 1
think there la no peer of Rosewater In the
state."
