SANCUINE AND SANGUINARYw"““‘""‘ AT Very Lively Cancuses Held at Varions Places Saturday Last, All Factions Very Hopeful and Also Very Stubborn, The Number of Double Delega- tions Unusually Large. This the Case With the 2d Illinois and 9th Kentucky. Special Reports to The Bee From Various Nebraska Points, A Wise Ohio Out General Grant as a Dark Horse. Congressman Trots LAYING FOR LOGAN. ONE VIEW OF SATURDAY'S RESU Special Dispatch to Tir Bk, Cnicaco, April 13.—The fight in the congressional districts embraced in Chi- cagoand Cook county, which yesterday resulted in the defeat of Logan in three out of four, means more than opposition to Logan’s presidential aspirations. If that were all, Collector Spalding, ex-Con- gressman Farwell, and Congressman Davis would protably have been content to let him take off the empty honor of all four delegations. The feeling is quito certain that the presidential nomination is beyond his grasp. Farwell's fight is one of long standing, and in Logan’s presidential ambition he has seen an opportunity to release his opponent from political life. To this end it became neceesary to loosen his hold on the state patronage by showing that there’s a stronger than he. Had Logan contented himself with sena- torial aspirations, he would sti'l have held the yrestige of his name and ser- wvices; but in the pr.sidential race he put himself in c¢):mpariton with Jarger men, and suffered accori.ngly. Farwell saw this advantage, and chos» Congressman Davis to lead the fight aguiunst him. The programme is that when Logan sceks re- election as senator next January, to go before the legislature and back Davis against him and show trom the result of yesterday’s district convention that Davis 18 a stronger man, and should be given the position and patronage which Logan has had &0 long. SAMMY S;\'S. TILDEN WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE. Special Dispatch to Tee BrE, WasmiNeroy, April 13.—The Star's New York special says: ‘Tilden has absolutely declined to permit his name to go before the national convention at Chicago as a candidate for president. Ho has quite completed a letter which will be addressed to the chairman of the New York democratic state convention, or possibly to the chairman of the New York delegation to Chicago, in which he announces he will not be a candidate. It sets forth his reasons more emphatical- ly than his letter to the New York dele- gation to Gincinnati in June, 1880. The democratic:nominee, he thinks, should be one who could enter upon the work of information as the head of the govern- ment with unvarying vigor.” NEBRASKA. LANCASTER COUNTY, Special Dispatch to THE BER.

The delegates are uninstructed. A motion was made that Blaine was the choice of the convention, but a substitute setting forth that any good republican was the choice of the convention was carried en- thusiastically.

LiNcons, April 13.—Tho threatened collapse of the city well from which ye Lincolnites will in time receive copious draughts of the crystal beverage and still have an abundant supply for fighting the fire fiend, very fortunately was not as serious as was at firat supposed. It was buta just reminder to the city fathers that they should let the contractor, Mr. John Lanham, attend to the business in his own way and according to what his many years' experience in well digging told him was right. When he reached a certain point which insured a sufficient supply of water to stand the required test, he wanted to stop, but the wise men of the council insisted upon his going farther, even if he had to interfere with the waterworks of Tokay and make unwarranted demands on the liquid sup- IN IOWA.

WasHINGTON, April 13.—A leader of Ohio republicans in the house said to- day: “I believe Grant is stronger to- day with the people of the country than ever before, 1f he should be brought out as a dark horse at Chicago, I should not be surprised to see him sweep every- thing before him. If he should be nom- inated he will be elected, too. I don't believe any power on earth could prevent it. Now I am not saying he is my firat choice, for he is not, nor that I believe he will be nominated, for it doesn’t look that way now; but Lam telling you what I think about the result if there should be a dead-lock between the now promi- nent candidates and Grant’s name should be tossed in at the right moment.

Mr. Lanham is thoroughly con- vinced of the success of his undertaking, and says he would not be afraid to guar- anteo a flow of 70,000 gallons per hour. The well when completed and no pump- ing going on, will have at all times an average of 40 feet of water which will be ample for all needs of the city. Its total cost will be about $15,000, and it is esti- mated that a complete system of water works will at once be constructed at a cost ranging from $75,000 to $100,000. Probable the Holly direct pumping plan will be settled but ita choice will of course in agreat measure depend upon the per- wission of the Omaha Herald, A fifty horse power engine is doing the pump- ing to-day and it is waking it very calmly andleisurely indeed for the importance of the job it has on hand. The flow is measured by the pumping being done alternately into two wooden troughs,each having a capacity of 1,100 gallons, One of these is now fbeing filled and emptied every forty-five seconds, Mr, Lanham says that the monster will not interfere in the least with any wells in the neighborhood that get there water supply from the gravel strata, no matter what may be their depth, and in proof of his assertion he says that the B. & M.'s well, about a block away, is supplying about 200,000 gallons a day, and yet its water-shed is fifteen feet higher than that of the city well. Mr. Lanham is an Englishman and has been in the contracting business for a life time. Since coming to this section of the west he has been constructing wells for the B. & M., and although he a year and the people’s money came very near being wiped away in a jiffy. As the wall stands to-day it gives overy indication of answering all public re- quirements. The slight settling of the eatly part of the week has merely cracked the outer walls, and the founda- tion being set in concrete remains as sound as a dollar. The first contract was let to Mr. Lanham for §6,200, but the test failed, owing, as the contractor says, to the council insisting on certain pipes being used, etc., which he knew would not work. He then agreed to sink another well within the old one, and to furnish a continuous flow of water at the rate of 50,000 gallons an hour for seventy-two hours, If he failed he was to receive no pay; if he succeeded he was to receive $7,000. The test was commenced at 8 o’clock last night, and is still going on. Up to noon to-day there have been an average of 000 gallons per hour pumped out, and_the water in the well is gaining on the drain upon it and has remained at an average height Special Dispatch to THE Brk. Nasuviiie, April 13.—Myor Freid- man, a Russian peddler of notions, was literally carved to pieces by unknown persons last night. As he was coming out of his room two men fell upon him, with a butcher knife and with stones, and the left side of his scalp was cut from his head. Ono rib was cut through, the left lung cut in two, an artery cut in the shoulder and head, besides other mortal cuts. His head was beaten in with a stone. The assassins escaped. No cause for the bloody work is knowu. S —— THE RESTLESS REPUBLIC, The Favorite Terris Arrive at Mon- torey—I'he Stamp Act. MonteRey, April 13.—Col.

There s but little doubt, had not an adjournment taken place just when it did, Chairman Courtnay’s hoad would have fallen into Editor Gere's waste basket. Why, Chawles felt so bad that he only allowed a mere mention in his paper of the fact that an informal vote on presidontial preference was taken, and it was particu- larly arranged that no specials were pub- lishod of the same vote in_any of the Omaha papers excopt Tire Br, bocause the presidential candidate at whom Gere has been hurling paper }mlln(n of the brain for months had ten friends to one even in the very political vineyard of the chief of Lincoln triparts. Oh, me} how dolefully the sounds of ‘‘Campaign Charley is my Name" now floats through the sacred precincts of the Journal's edi- torial sanctum, Those enlivening strains that a few weeks ago were so encouraging and joy-inspiring in their select solos, their fine figures and their charming chorus. INTERESTING INTERROGATIVES, There is not a day passes but some complaints are heard hereabout the manner in which the land depart- ment of the state is being man. aged. It is known on good authority that a citizen has to brave the lion in his den when he has the hardi- hood to approach Kernell Kendall on the school land question especially. If he is not openly refused an interview his ques- tions are roughly and grufily answered. In fact I ascertained from a gentleman who called upon his royal highness the other day, that he was given information that upon persistent effort ho ascer- tained was absolutely false. Wor- thy people who come from a distance are anxious to know how long this star chamber business is to continue. Others want to kuow why there are upwards of $200,000 of the school funds of the state given to the banks of this city alone at a very low rate of interest, and how that interest money is divided, and what banks in Omaha have a finger in the pie? They also de- sire to know if it is honorable and con- scientiously honest, even if the law does does not prohibit it, for Kernell Kéndall to lease =all the valuable school ands in the state to syndicates so0 that worthy applicants who desire to obtain these lands have to pay exorbitant prices to buy off the original lessors be- fore they can get a lease hold! There are at loast threo firms in this city alone to- day (and divine Providence only knows how many individuals) who are growing rich on leases of large acreage of school lands. These speculators aro the class of men whom Kernell Kendall does not like county treasurers to ask for taxes. It would also be very pleasing to hear of all the hubbub about stopping the sale of school lands which claimed almost exclusively the attention of the late teachers’ convention which was held for the purpose of having the immense amount of money accruing from leasehold interests assigned to that branch of the state funds which will allow the public money to be manipu- lated to individual advantage, and not put into a fund where it would have to be invested in bonds, as the law requires, and which would be the case with the proceeds of the sale of echoel lands.. Verily, our school moneys need to be further removed from speculators than they are now, and there is but slight doubt but a little more sunlight and open air would be beneficial to the consumptive school land department that Kernell Kendall is keep- ing so carofully housed up from the public eye. LINCOLN LOCALS, The Knights Templars turned out in force this morning, and attended Easter services at Trinity Episcopal church, They made a splendid appearance, and the ‘services were unusually impressive. So great was the crowd that scores had to turn away from the church, being una- ble to gain admisgion. The funeral of the late Mrs, J. N. Townley tock place from the Methodist church, Rev. McKaig, pastor, this after- noon. There were prominent partics from all over the state present, including several well known Omaha ladies.

It has been announced, however, by Chairman Morrison, of the ways and moans committee, that an effort will be made on that day to call up the tariff bill tor consideration, and if this purposo be adhered to as now intended, A LIVELY STRUGGLE will ensue, with altogether uncertain re- sults, Kelly has said he will call for a yea and nay vote on the question of con- sideration. The republicans say their sido of the house will oppose every atep taken by the friends of Morrison's bill. They assert that the republican represen- tives, with the exception, possibly of three, will vote against any considera- tion of the measure. Some republicans, Kasson being of the number, have ex- pressed themselves as ‘preferring to al- low the bill to be brought before the house for consideration, and to TRY TO KILL IT at the first opportunity by striking out the enacting clause. They have consent- od, however, to vote with the majority of the party, and oppose its consideration. The republicans claim about 130 votes on their side of the house. They say they will also have the assistance of more than forty democratic votes, which would give them a majority, if all tho 325 represen- tatives were in their seats. Harnest FRIENDS OF THE BILL have notified the democratic representa- tives to be present Tuesaay. They say they will certainly secure consideration of the measure, if not on Tuesday, then at some future time not far distant. It 15 their intention to continue their ef- forts, if necessary, day after day, and to demand a yea and nay vote on each ocoa- sion. 1f the house refuses to consider the tariff bill Tuesday, and the appropri- ation bill is not urged, various pending SPECIAL ORDERS will doubtless be broughtin conflict for precedence. The order for the con eration of the bill providing for public buildings throughout the country, which was last week displaced for prior orders, it is believed will have the most strength. Other special orders are the uhipfiing bill measure, the establishment of a board of commissioners, inter-state commerce and the library bill, IN THE SENATE, It is expeoted the postoflice appropria- tion bill will bereported to the senate Mon day or Tuesday, and members of the ap- propriations committee express the opinion that it can bo disposed of with one, or ut most two days' debate, If their opinions prove corraot, these long- standing special orders, the first being the bankruptey bill, will receive the at- tention of the senate during a portion of the week.
