THE COURIER. sr 11" - ft Higher of all in LeaveMng PowerLate U. S. Gov't Report Kms ABMuiren PURE have been selected bad, a convention been held, and a big improvement was effected in the selection of candidates for the council. The vote on presidential preference was about what was expected. The only reason the Manderson supporters did not want a vote taken , was the knowledge on their part that the expres sion would be overwhelmingly in favor of McKinley, It was the same in Beat rice, and all over the state, the sentiment of the rank ami file of the party is for McKinley. Notwithstanding the de cided expression of republican voters against anything that savors of snapp ism the county central committee obeyed the wishes of the Manderson contingent and called one convention t J name delegates to the various conven tions, and to nominate county officers, the same to be held April 2 The sup porters of Mr. Manderson have been un successful in discouraging McKinley sentiment by legitimate means, and they are bow resortitg to trickery. An ef fort will be made throughout the county to smother the question of presidential preference and select such delegates as will manifest a satisfactory susceptibil ity to railroad and corporation Jnflu ence. The effort will not be successful. The same influences that are at work to prevent the selection of McKinley dele gates are also trying to bring about the defeat of F. W. Collins in his candidacy for the nomination for county attorney. It has only l)een a few weel's since Senator Thurston, from his place in the United States senate, offered to sacrifice his son. Last week in this city ex-Senator Manderson said he would give his good right arm under certain condi tions. There is no telling where this thing is going to stop. It may be that the gentlemen, in a burst of generosity, will offer up each other. A few weeks ago Mr. Lambertson 'delivered an address before the econo mic club of the state university. Mr. Lambertson spoke on the financial question and voiced his well known opinion. His address annoyed the Ne braska Independent, whose editor in an exponent of populistic ideas. That paper in a recent issua criticises the department of economics of the univer sity for "putting up such men as Mr. Lambertson to make, addresses instead of "giving opportunity to any one to deliver a lecture in which economics can be illustrated as taught by the scien- tists who wrote the standard works on that subject The farm ers of the state want the uni versity to be kept at the highest stand ard. They are willing to tax them selves to the limit of endurance to do it, especially the populist farmers, but they want the students taught science." Another man dropping his Hammer smith ticket at Bradbury gate. The political economy dab is an association of students with which the university propei has bo connection. The club se lects its own speakers, and it selects atea of various views. It aims to hear all sides. The week iollowisc Mr. ' address, Mr. Bryan ap- I before the students. All kinds ef bmb have bees before the dab. A year or se ago a bmb came up treat the Kansas university the the greatest political rocunte bank of the Nineteenth century. Certainly the political economy club has given all sidee a chance. w The editor of the Independant wants the club to listen to somebody who would talk science. Which evidently means that he would like to deliver an address himself. It is a peculiarity of the populist and socialist that he imagines he is right and everybody else is wrong. The craziest crank who ever harangued a mob on the street was convinced that he was giving true scientific instruc tion to a world of fools. Science! May be the proper scientist, according to the idea of the editor of the Independent, is the man who dances an intellectual can can on the Umaba platform, demanding in one breath that the government issue money on garden truck, and in the next calling everybody that is not a pauper a thief. It is the vociferous and flam boyant gentlemen of this sort who talk the loudest of science. Science! What absurdities are committed in thy name! Mr. Lambertson has the courage of his convictions on the money question, and tbats what nine-tenths of the able statesmen of the country haven't gotJn the opinion of the oracular critic of the populist newspaper hk views may not be scientific. But the great economist who edits the Independent is not the sole arbiter on the metes and bounds of science. From Chicago, by way of the Record, comes the following discussion of Ne braska politics: "It is definitely settled that there will ba two democratic vtate conventions and that there will be two sets of delegates to the national democratic state con vention. Readers of the Record are familiar with the cause of this violent split in the democracy of Nebraska. Recently, however, there has been a manifested desire on the part of some of the democrats to "get together' and some of the silver men have proposed that halt of the delegation to Chicago be composed of silver democrats and the other half of anti silver men. But this idea was laughed to scorn by the ad ministration democrats, who declare that the silver fellows are weakening. The silver state committee met a few days ago and called their state conven tion to be held in Lincoln April 22, and at the Bame time invited the other faction to unite with them in the hold ing of a primary election, at which the question of the belief in silver jrould be tested and the result acquiesced in by both sides. But the administration men laughed again and said that this question was settled very fully at the last election for Supreme court just tice last fall, when the silver candidate received 4,000 less votes than did the representative of the other faction. So this offer was re fused by the gold committee, which met Wednesday night. Their state con vention will be held at Lincoln April 29, just one week after the silver men meet, and at the same place. So there will be a "double-header" deiegatian to Chicago and the national convention will have to settle the differences between the two wings of the party. It is now settled that Mr. Bryan, the idol of the silver men, will be one of the delegates at large and that another one will be C. J. Smyth of Omaha, chairman of the silver state central committee. The representatives of the gold men are not decided npon, but one will undoubtedly be Pos mast mer Euclid Martin of Omaha, who is also chairman of the stste central committee. If Secretary Morton will permit the use of his name he will be one of the delegates at large. There is much bitter feeling between the demo crats, which will come to he surface in the two state conventions. There has been lively exchanges of compliments between the populist can didates fur president lately. Senator Peffer of Kansas came out in favor of Gov. Holcomb a few day ago, but the governor respectfully declined the honor and said that he was for Sen ator Allen, whom he was sure would be nominated at St. Louis. The populist state convention has not been called, but it will be called in a few days. The Slace of first delegate at large from lebraska wili be given to Gov. holcomb.
