"Governor, may I telegraph my mother there la aome hope?" With thla statement Harrison Clarke, condemned to die Friday for the murder of Edward Flury, closed his final appeal to Governor Sheldon for clemency. The governor replied he had nothing to say now. Clarke aska that hla sentence be commuted to life imprison ment. The hearing was the first of thla kind ever held in Nebraska under the pres ent law and the first ever held in the state penitentiary. The condemned man prac tically Ignored his lawyer, summoned and questioned 'witnesses and made his own argument. In which he analysed minutely the testimony given In his trial and an swered in detail written statements of Judge Button and Judge Blabaugh that his legal rights had been taken care of in hla trial. In hla' close he left his line of argu ment and made an appeal for hla Ufa for the sake of hla wife and mother. "It makea little dltTerence to me, gov. ernor," ha said, "whether I am to be hanged. I can march to the gallows just as calm as I am now. The warden can spring the trap, I shoot down to the end of the rope, and that Is the end so far as I am oonoerned. My body may give a few twitches and m legs may Jerk a little. but I will feel no pain. It Is for those left behind that I am pleading to you. Thla wife who, though living apart from me when thla crime waa committed, came over from Iowa to stand by me during my trouble. For my mother, who- la now down In Missouri praying that her boy may ba saved." Clarke had been given letters from Judge Button and Judge Blabaugh, the county attorney, who prosecuted him. In which these two said hla legal rights had been taken care of and that he had been given a fair trial. In answering these statements Clarke aatd ha haA been refuaed permis sion to employ his own attorney. "That la how my legal rights were preserved. They refused to call Wain to testify that'a how my legal righta were preserved i I waa refuaed permission to cross-examine witnesses that'a how my legal rights were preserved. On witness said there were twenty-six shots fired he heard there were four five aooters and one six shooter In the crowd. These revolvers were not all loaded full that'a how my legal righta were preserved' Clarke then went Into the testimony In detail.' Gathiig-ht was called back to the stand to be questioned by Clarge regarding a revolver he waa supposed to have car ried. He again ohanged hla story of yes terday and Clarke In hla statement told the governor that Gathrlght waa Irrespon sible and not right In his head. Attorney Haa a gay. Previous to the statement by Clark At- tornew Crowe made a lengthy speech In Which he defended himself against a state ment made in a Lincoln paper regarding aome alleged statement Clarke had made. Benton Bell of Omaha made a short appeal for tneroy. Bell haa had charge of th case of Clark before the governor. Dur ing- the hearing he frequently consulted with the condemned man and sat with Mrs. Clark during th hearing. He ex pressed the opinion that whatever Gov ernor Sheldon did th people would be sat isfied, for he had all th evidence before him. Th chapel at th penitentiary, where th hearing wag. held, was comfortably filled, many white people being In attend ance. .When Clarke cam Into th room he presented his wlfa with a bouquet of flewera. Clark frequently smiled during th speech of his attorney. Governor Bbeldon decided to remain at th penitentiary during th evening and have prtvat Interviews with Wain and Gathrlght. Their stories have been a conflicting that he is at a loss to know what to believe, and hopes by getting them alor. to arrive at th trutlu No Opposition to Bryan. "Mr. Bryan will be nominated by ths democrats by acclamation. There will be no opposition upon the part of anyone," aald former Senator Fred T. Dubois of Idaho thla morning. Senator Dubois and wife arrived laat evening and visited at the Bryan home until thla afternoon, when they left for th west. "I attended the meeting of th national committee at French Lick and th Bryan dmeonstratlon at Chicago and I found th sentiment to be unanimously for the Lin coln man's nomination. No one els was seriously considered r even mentioned. The leaders apparently realise' that th rank and - file of the party demand Mr. Bryan's nomination and if any of them secretly prefer some one else, they kept It to themselves. But I do not think that there la much expressed feeling. Enthusi asm waa manifest everywhere and some men who have not always exactly agreed to Bryan in the past, I found to be moat pronouncedly for him at the present time. "The prospect for democratic success are extremely flattering. The party will go Into the approaching campaign present ing a united front for the first time In years. There will be no dissensions, no sAilsms and no factlona. On the other hand the republicans are now dividing and are certain to be more so no matter who succeeds in capturing the nomination. Whoever heada the ticket ia bound to drive away thousands of votes and by th time th convention Is over the party will without doubt be more badly rent than It is at present. "Developments in the financial world within ths past few weeks are also sure to hurt the republicans. The country haa been confronted with a well nigh disastrous panto In a time of profound peace, when the nation la teeming with wealth and th party 'in power will of course be held ac countable at least to a certain extent. Then, too, I have heard many criticisms as to the manner In which th crisis waa handled by th adnlqSstratlasv Ail f these things are sound to be of assistance to the democrat next year. Senator Dubois stated that his visit was merely of a social nature. This morning M. A. Hoyt, editor and publisher of the Dally News, Milwaukee, Wis., aleo come for a br4of friendly visit to Mr. Bryan. He was accompanied hy Mayor James C. Dahlman of Omaha and Frank T. Ran som of that city. Mr. Hoyt atated that his visit hsd no political significance. He left for his home thla afternoon at 4 o'clock, at which time the Omaha men returned to that city. Dahlmna Vista Bryan. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha and a number of prominent democrats arrived In Lincoln I today and paid a visit to Falrvlew, where they were In consultation with Mr. Bryan.

Labor Commissioner Ryder has figured that the corn and wheat crop of Nebraska alone this season will bring enough money to psy the expenses of the fleet of the United States on Its trip to the Pacific and will buy. all the new battleships needed and the have a goodly number of millions left (over. The corn crop is estimated at $73,000,000 and th wheat crop at $36,000,000. Chairman Wlnnett la Back. Chairman H. J. Wlnnett of the ralroad commission did not complete the trip over the Missouri Pacific tracks. He left the other commissioners st Weeping Water and went to Omaha on the regular train, returning this morning. He says the Mis souri Pacific has wonderfully Improved Its track and he thinks It very likely that the speed limit order applying to the road will now be rescinded. The expenses of the trip of inspection will be borne by the railroad commission, the board desiring to psy the company for the services of Its motor car and men. The road was willing to present the use of the same as a courtesy, but the com mlssioh is unwilling to accept this In view of the rather stringent legislation besrlng upon this subjeot In Nebraska.
