MNCOI.N, Deo. 2t.-(8peclal.)-The pub lication this morning In" a local paper that Governor Aldrich would 'attempt to pry JlBrry IJndsoy loose from his position as clerk of the. supremo court by a recom mendation in his message to tho legisla ture that tho offlco be abolished, caused tho governor to becomo somewhat wroth. I have a 'notion to deny all newspaper reporters tho rights of this offlco," he said. I can't even pull, off a Joko but what some of them take It seriously and proceed to write tho thing up. I was Joking about whut I said, though there might bo some truth about some of It." The Incident calls to mind that this Is not the first Unto that a governor In the past hus recommended in his message tho abolishment of somo department or part of a department. Governor Savage, In his message to the legislature la 1K0, recommended that the office of stato auditor and commissioner of public lands and buildings should be abolished and that with the addition of a few clerks to tho office of tho governor, secretary of stato and treasurer, tho work could be done Just as well and many thousands' of dollars saved annually to the stats. Governor hoyd recommended In hla nicssago that the stato cauld save money by cutting off numerous clerks and Idlo officials, but did not name any particu lar department or officials that he thought should be sent out to face the cold, cruel, world. Governor Mickey was very strong in his denunciation of the "lobby" and urged the legislature to pass such resolu tions as would do away with the gentle men who attended sessions of the legls 'aturo in order to convince the members that they should vote right. Whether the "proclamation" of the governor relative to the clerk of the supreme court had anything to do with it or.hot, is not evident, but anyhow, the clerk the deputy and all the attaches of the- offlco this morning wore earning thelr;.brcad by the sweat of their brow and digging like heroes leading a forlorn hope.; .

It Is probable that tlio architect will bo chosen for his ability In planning hotels. Somo one competent and who has planned large hotel buildings will bo glvon the contract to design the Omaha hos telry. Omaha architects, contractors and laborers will bo considered In nil the work of erection. Who the officers or directors of the hotel company will be, of courso cannot be told until after tho meeting of stock holders. It Is probable that those who wero Identified with the proposition from the first will bo given preference because of their enthusiasm and ability. For in stance some of those Individuals and firms who have been the larger subscribers have suggested that Gurdon W. Wattles be mado an officer or director, probably president of the hotel company. Thero Is somo talk of making John 1j. Kennedy secretary or treasurer, or' both, but Mr, Kennedy declares he has heard nothing of this and, moreover, will have too much to do In other matters concern ing the erection of the building and his own business to give his tlmo to such an office. It is practically certain that A. D. Bran- dels will bo one of the directors and In all probability, an officer. JVmnlntr the Hotel. Naming the hotel probably will be de cided by popular sentiment. Some of those most closely connected with tho proposition say they favor tho name, "The Overland." Others favor, "The Ne braska" and still others "The Omaha." One or two have mentioned "The AJt-Sar-ltcn.' The concensus of opinion is in favor of a name which will Identify tho hotel with tho city and attract attention from the outside world, while at tho same time suggesting dignity.
