POINTS IN POLITICS.
The meeting of the executive com
mittee of the state republican league
held in this city Friday night of last
week, was of unexpected significance in
thBt the committee had the courage to
rebuke E. Rosewater by declining to
accede to his request to be sent to
Cleveland as a delegate to the national
convention. Mr. Rosewater has viewed
with alarm the increasing dimensions of
the McKinley boom, and realizing the
importance of having a "pull with the
next president of the United States he
was desirous of going to Cleveland as a
representative of the republican party
of Nebraska. Mr. Rosewater, as is well
known, is on good terms with Harrison.
He was sent to Europe as a representa
tive of this government during Harri
son's administration, and he also suc
ceeded in moving the headquarters of
the department of the Platte into the
Bee building while Harrison was presi
dent, receiving therefor a large rent.
Rosewater will have much to ask of the
next republican president and he is
anxious to get in on the ground floor
with the man who will prove to be the
successful candidate. With Harrison
he is all right; by going to Uhio and
hobnobbing with the great apostle of
protection, be would, so he thought, be
able to secure that gentleman's distin
guished and favorable consideration.
Mtnderson will probably content him
self by seeking a place in the next re
publican cabinet. When Manderson
was appointed general solicitor of the
Burlington it was generally remarked
that the management of the road in
this state was surprised thereat, and
not altogether delighted. But the ex-
senator has, apparently, had great sue-
position on the ifcc five jears ao, when ' in ,,i9 new P"n. A gentleman

the Republican collapsed in Omaha,
accounts for my present rffitude
toward him; that 1 was waiting .for a
banco to get even. Mr. Hosewater is
nothing if not a clever liar. He has not
forgotten that three or four years ago,
as editor of the Lincoln Xews, I was
foolish enough to fall in with the views
of leading members of the party who
have, with me, since repented, and
endorse the action taken by the Kear
ney convention conciliating him; he has
not forgotten that, upto a year or bo
ago, befors I ventured to disapprove
publicly of his persistent course in con
tributing to republican defeat, I was on
his "white list of friends'; he knows
that he never gave me any cause for
persona! resentment and that I cherish
ed none.
So that Mr. Roeewater's request that
he be named as a delegate meant a good
deal to the ambitious editor. The action
of the committee in administering to
the would be dictator the rebuke the
party Bhould have given him years ago
was a great disappointment to him, and
it is significant as establishing a prece.
dent for the republican state convention
of this year and next The sentiment
of the party for five years at least has
been almost unanimous in favor of a
discontinuance of that policy of concilia
tion that has been followed for the last
decade. It has even called for a sever
ance of all ties with this man who has
become notorious through his efforts to
bring about republican defeat in Ne
braska. But the leaders of the party,
despising the man Rosewater, have been
afraid of his power, and so, year after
after year, the party has salaamed to
the joss and allowed itself to be walked
over by him. The executive committee
At the republican state convention in
Omaha last year I was no', a Majors
man; but I could see no sort of justifi
cation for the exhibition of spleen made
by Mr. Rosewater in resigning from the
national committee. He insulted the
party, and in the campaign which fol
lowed he gave no "ingle candidate on
the state ticket, cordial support, and
most of them he opposed with genuine
Rosewater venom. He had already
fought such men as Richards, Laws
and Mercer; and his course in the cam
paign of last year destroyed any claim
he might have had as a republican. He
did all he could, joining efforts with
Bryan, to elect Holcomb governor.
Then it waB that I tired of Rosewater's
dictation, and in the Call, was pre
sumptuous enough to publish what
I honestly thought. There was no
getting even about it. In common with
an overwhelming majority of the party
I believe, after a continued course of
anti-republicanism, he should be given
an opportunity to re-instate himself in
the party; and that until he take ad
vantage of such opportunity, he should
receive no recognition from the party
and be allowed to exercise no dictation
is
the B. & M. management was telling me
about it thebtber day. "The people at
the headquarters building in Omaha
always wanted Mr. Marquett to move
to Omaha and make his office in the
building,' said he; "but Marquett
wouldn't do it. Papers had to be sent
to him every day or two, and like many
lawyers Mr. Marquett was sometimes
absent minded. Ho didn't always send
the papers back promptly, and there
was much inconvienence in having to do
everything by correspondence. When
Manderson was named he immediately
asked for offices in the B. & M. building,
to the relief of the management, and his
experience as a senator standing him
well in band, he introduced system and
order in his conduct of the company's
legal business. Much inconvenience is
saved, and Manderson is making himself
very popular with the officers of the
road."
Pat Dorr is rustling around as a can
didate for county clerk.
W. ti. Price and Walter Leese, of the
Fifth ward, want to be justice of the
peace.
The fact that John C. Watson has
been appointed general solicitor of the
Missouri Pacific road in Nebraska, with
free transportation ou the road, will not
necessarily cause his retirement from
politics. "Mr. Watson's pocketbook will
not contain any more passes than it did
before. Ab he once said, he didn't have
the honor of holding the pass at Ther
mopalae; but he has held a good many
other passes.
Sam Steele has always been of those,
who have opposed Rosewater cociliation.
Steele, according to rumor is a can
didate for district judge out in his dis
trict, which may account for his attitude
at the executive committee meeting.

Mr. Rosewater, as was expected,
bitterly resented the slight put upon
him, and in an editorial in Sunday's
Bee gives W. Morton Smith, the editor of
Thk Cockier and the writer of these
linee. the credit of bringing about the
rejection of his name by the committee.
Mr. Rosewater does me too much honor.
Fain would I enjoy the distinction of
having been the means of preventing
this anti-republican from attending a
national convention of republicans as a
representative of the party in Nebraska; Nebraska is
is losing ground and that
is training. That Harrison is
looming up cannot be denied, but there
does not Beem to be any reason for say
ing that McKinley is losing. He has
secured pledges of active support from
the east and south, and in the west he is
steadily growing in popularity. He is
not the only prominent republican poli
tician in Ohio, and it could hardly be
expected that all party interests in that
state should be subject to him. But
Ohio is for McKinley for president,
earnestly and enthusiastically, and his
delegation in the national convention
will have on it Ohio's leading republi
cans. The last Kansas legislature com
mitted that state to McKinley, and
