THE FOLLY OF FOOLS Friends of nator. Oriminal Blu Nebraska's 8e THEY NOMINATE CHURCH HOWE, ot by Misgui The Oily-Tongued Trickster's Successfal Bargain With Otoe's Delegation, A FATAL BLOW TO VAN WYCK Two E in the ( mpaign, THE WORK OF THE CONVENTION. Nominated on the 1 Ballot The Man From Nem First Form A SUBSERVIENT TOOL REMOVED C. M. Gere Invited to Step and Out ofthe Railroad Com« miseion — Fatal Shooting at Millard, Down A Republican Waterloo. Bearnice, Neb,, S 22, —(Special Tele- gram to the Beer.]—The fool friends of Senator Van Wyek who represented Otoe county in the congressional convention have done more toward the defeat of the senator in one hour than all his political enemies have accomplished in six years. They and they alone are responsible tor Church Howe’s nomination, and the consequences that are sure to follow this criminal blunder will, in my opinion, prove fatal to Van Wyck in the senatorial race. Van Wyck can’t ride two lorses in this campaign. If he supports the infamous mountebank, whom he has indirect- 1y folsted upon the party, he will stultify him- self and disgust his staunch friends. If he bolts Howe he will be pilloried by his personal and political ene- mies, The fact that Otoe county, with Paul Schminke, the senator’s confidential friend, at the head of the delegation, nom- inated Church Howe, will be cited by that oily-tongued trickster as proof that Van Wyek is his bosom friend and a man of his own stripe. This is by no wmeans the worst teature, The senator bimself will, of course, plead the baby act. 1le did not attend the Otoe county convention in person, and is not hiere to-night to advise his delegation, X know that the senator wrote a very pointed Jetter to Schminke yesterday urging him to place Otoe with the opvosition to Howe, but Schminke was either unable to control the course of the delezation, or he regarded the request as amere bind to pacify the anti- 1lowo leadors, At 5p.m., when the Otoe delegation ar: rived at the depot, the anti-Howe cauncus, in seszion at Knights of Pythias hall, had sevonty delegates present, exclusive of Sarpy and Otoe coun which had a total of delegates, and would, if added, &iyen tho opposition nine to spare. Without the have votes Sarpy delegation, Otoe county was in a posi- sion to defeat Howe, and Paul Schminke at first assured me that at least eight of his dele- gation should vote with the anti-Howe men. “This assurance proved a rope of sand. Schminke and the Otoe delegates went into the 1lowe caucus and made a bargain with the wily schemer for a part of the Nemaha delegation to the legislature, which he had already promised to Paddock and Cobb. Howe's nomination is hailed with delight by the democrats, and his defeat by from 8,500 105,000 in the district is confidently pre- dicted. E. ROSEWATEE, Work of the Convention.

The first for mal ballot resulted in the nomination of Brown by a vote of 43 to 38, Mr, Dinsmore, of Sutton, was on hand with his gubernatorial boow, but the gentle- man’s enthusiasm was grievously dampened by the stentorian “no” that rolled up against the notion to_allow hini to select the dele: gates to the state eonvention. There was no distinct expression of the sense of the convention on the question of United States senator. The nominees for the legislature are all unpledged, bat it is un- derstoc that Mr. Newton, being the farmers’ eandidate, favors the re-election of the senator. The other two are doubtful.
