DEMOCRATS FAIL TO GETTOGETHER Anti-Bryan Wing- Eeients Attempt of Follower! of Peerless Leader ' to Dominate the Meeting. which he c.'iriicd ln Insurance, was tlsm SKed by water arid his household good were burned. BODY OF DROWNED BOY IS BURIED AT WYMORE DR. P. L. HALL REFUSES TO RUB (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 28. 8peclat.)-tf the get-together meeting of the democrats Saturday night brought about a letter feeling among the badly demoralised forces of a once powerful party. It waa not apparent after the clone of the meet ing. There wae every Indication that their short term of power had made them Intoxicated for office and whll In former year they have submitted to th leader ship of Mr. Bryan without much of a murmur because there was everything to gain and nothing to lose, now that the thing has changed around and there Is everything to lose and nothing much to gain, they are fearful of the future and look with suspicion upon Mr. Bryan or any other leader who appears to want to boas the party. The speech of Harry Fleharty of Omaha was along the line of a get-together spirit. "It makes no difference whether you are for Bryan or Hitchcock," said the Omaha statesman, "be a democrat." Thia sentiment did not appear to meet with a hearty response all around and many were the expressions of disgust after the thing waa over. Criticism of Fleharty. "Harry made a pretty good speech," paid one state house democrat, after the meeting was over, "but darn him," he needn't think he can make us swallow Bryan." He didn't say "darn" but some thing more expressive. "Some of those fellows will have to answer to me," said Felix Norton, jour nalist, historian and statesman. "Some of the things they said will be met by me In a way that will make them squirm." It waa noticed that Felix was taking notes during the speech of governor Morehead, but that he appeared to be asleep while Fleharty was talking. Who will be required to account to the king for his utterances Is not known, but as the king is "agin" Bryan, Hitchcock and the governor, all three, It Is probable that the trlumverate will find themselves In bad when Newton calla them to account. Hall la Not Candidate. Many listened to Dr. P. L. Hall, ex pecting something which would give peo ple a line on how he felt regarding the effort to push him Into the water for the governorship. The only thing he said on this score was the remark: "I have never asked for an office In my life and I never will." When asked by newspaper men later whether. If forced Into the nomination he would not make the campaign, he simply aald that he would never make the campaign for governor. Dr. Hall In his speech claimed all the glory for progressive legislation for the populists and democrats. He said that the Omaha platform of the populist waa the best platform ever made by any party and with the help of the democrats most of It had been made into law. The doc tor evidently forgot all about the republi can 190V legislautre responsible for most of the progressive legislation which has counted for results !n thla state, and also that the present temporary ascendance of the democrats comes only from troubles In the republican party. Little bunches of democrats gathered here and there after the speaking, made it known that the tommahawk and howle knives discarded by the republicans have been gathered in by the democrat and from now on thing will be more than Interesting.
