THE OMAHA Dany BEE OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 18 NEBRASKA'S OIL ROOM CROWD. The Old Familiar Faces Around the State Headquarters. ONLY ONE GREASER IS MISSING. Swapping and Frading ina Wild Ef- fort to Elevate Nebraska's “‘Ju- dicial” Jake Sharp—The State's Humiliation, The Oil Room Transferred to Chicago. Cnicago, June 17.—[Special Telegram to Tne Ber.)—The headquarters of the Ne- braska delegation at the Grand Pacific offers a striking contrast to the delegation head- quarters of the same state at the Palmer house four and eight years ago. At these preceding national gatherings the rank and file of the party commingled with the dele- gations irrespective of faction or even presi- dential preference. 'To-day the headquarters of the delegation are like a sectional view of the Lincoln o1l rooms, with Walt Seeley as the quartermaster and the railroad at- torneys looking after the commissary. The rendezvous of the delegation presents the cheerfully familiar appearance of room 14 at the Capital hotel during the last session of the legislature. Omaha has furnished her full quota to this contingent. ' Herb Leavitt and Dave Mercer are making themselves very numerous, whiie Frank Walter holds himself in reserve for the more delicate work of the canvass. The only oil room greaser that is found missing up to this hour is Ear Trumpet Crawford, whose elo- quence had such a visible effcct on the granger clement during the last legislative session. Outside of the Omaha contingent, THE BIASS COLLARED PHALANX] is in full possession of the quarters selected by Church Howe and Walt Seceley. Paul ‘Vandervoort, that blood-thirsty veteran who neyer came within a thousand miles of a battle, has come all the way from Washing- ton to jom the railroaders in kuifing Gresham, with whom he has an unsettled account to balance, since Gresham dismissed Paul frof the postal service for negligence and inefiiciency. Church Howe, Thurston and Pat Egan are swapping the delegation to anybody and everybody, exchanging prom- ises of support of presidential candidates for the votes of committeemen on behalf of Thurston’s eandidacy for temporary chair- man. This seems to be the sole aim and ob- ject of the Nebraska delegation at the Chi- cago convention. Every other interest and every other issuc has been sunk in the ono supreme effort to ELEVATE NEBRASKA'S JAKE SHARY into national prominence. A great stre: laid upon the jug handle which attaches to the title of Judge to Thurston's name. The impression is spread around that he secured this title on the supreme bench of Nebraska, when in fact Thurston never expounded the law excepting as a justice of the peace among the slums of the Third rd of Omaha. The lamented General Strickland used to boast that in a campaign he could turn a corner about as fast as the next man: but the general was on novice in the business compared to the oily tongued politi cal Sampson from Omaha. Two weeks ago he told a Chicago Herald reporter that his heart was broken when Bluine withdrew, but when the Californians came yesterday With their Blaine banuers and a competing candidate for temporary chairman, Thurs- ton’s heart didn't yearn any more for Blaine than it did in 1576, when ohe was forninst him, and again in 1850, when HE DELIVELED A STREET HARANGUR R ant while the convention was in session as against the plumed favorite of Nebraska republicans. To the novice in politics the gyrations of Church Howe and Churston must b rather bewildering. When Justice Miller was in Omala ten days ago holding circuit court, Thurston de that after Blaine s first choice was Ju Miller, and next Miller he would favor De pew. ‘The next thing we heard of was visit to Wisconsin, and Thurston’s discovery of Jerry Rusk as his next choice after Blaine. This was o bait to Wisconsin, It was followed by a contidential compact be tween Thurston. Church Howe and Clark- s0n, by whick Thurston and the delegation were to gve support to Allison in return for Clarkson’s vote in the national committee for Thurstun, On the hecls of this little ar- rangement, Patrick Lgan, whose lighest ai is to GET THURSTON INTO 11 goes into the Alger camp to arrange for the support of Michigan, The delogates who represent the pravinees of the Union Pacifie west of the Missouri river have been annexod without much trouble, and Church Howe, who is behind nobody as a trader, has made swaps right and left for Thurston from tick ets to delegates. 1 feel safe in asserting that the number or votes promised from Nebraska to various candidates would be enough to nominate any one of them on the first ballot When it comes to delivering the de there will be o good deul of tall sw at the honest granger stato of Nel which will be represented on the floor this time by men who have never turned a spade except in o game of poker, Whether Thurston will finally make it de- pends very much upon his ability to bam boozle the committee and the supporters of the various booms for twenty-four hours longer. Nebraska representatives who have some respect left and e pride in tho po sition which the state has occupied on na- tional issues, have reason to | humilated at this unseemly scramble for honors for an unprincipled politician at the expense of the good name of & great state, E. R in thi; cuAIR, AN UNCERTAIN SITUATIO No One Can Predict Who the nees Will Bee, Cuicaco, June 17.—[Special Telogram to Tuk Bee.|—More than two-thirds of the de egates have arrived and the differont head- quarters, most of which are located in the Grand Pacific and Palmer house, are crowded with the adherents of the different caudi dates. The situation this eveniug is little changed from that of last uight. The Gresh- mn movement is still further* perceptub weakened. The over zealous workers for th judge have created so many untagonisms by their desire to advance the iutarests of thelr candidate prior to the assembling of the con vention that the members of several deloga tions which were originally fricndly to hus interests are now outspoken iu th opnosi- tion. The split in the Indiana delegation has incrcased rathier than dimmi g the day aud a nwmber Qf General Harrison’s supporters quictly insist that there is sea @ possibility that such & contingency will arise as will secure for Judge Gresham the united support of their delegation. The De pew boow is now confined to New Yoik. Mr. Depew has been active since his arrival * lust night in visiting the leaders of the differ- tay delegatigus and conferring. with his Nowmi- friend, ment. The ccnvention has grown that his nomina- tion would mean disaster through THE LOSS OF THE GRANGER STATES, His name, however, will be presented and sixty of New York's votes will go to him on the first ballot. I do not believe,” said Sen- ator Teller to-day, “that we could possibly carry Colorado with Depew. The anti-rail- road feeling is very strong in the state, and whether just or unjust in its application to Mr. Depew’s candidacy, it would prove fickle in his case. You can put down Colrado as a democratic state with Cleveland running against Depew.” Senator Jones of Nevada also frankly expressed the opinion that ar manifestation of a desire to advance Mr. Depew's interests would be greatly to the disadvantage of the party in the west. Sen- ators and congressmen from Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota also join in the general ver- dict, while several members of the Nebraska delegation admitted that his nomination would never be supported by the people of their state, Senator Allison's candidacy is gaining strength. The Allison headquarters were opened lastnight in the ladies “ordinary™ of the Grand Pacific. They are the most elab- orate and most beautifully decoratod of any in the city. The name of Iowa’s favorite son glitters in electric letters over the door in a framework of American flags. The walls of the large apartment are entwined with ban- ners and wreathed with flowers. Portraits of the great Towan are framed in smilax and roses and beautiful natural flowers. A ros- trum at the north end of the room is faced by a fine crayon portrait of the senator, twined with a siiken flag,and about it flutters a hawk, the emblem of the Hawkeye state. The room is FILLED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC I0WANS who are confident in the success of their favorite. Senator James Wilson of Iowa to- night said to me: “The outlook is very favor- able and [am convinced that we shall be successful. Senator Allison’s long and val. uable services to the republic have made their impression and he is the least objection- able man, in my opinion, who can be offered. His state is for him from border to border and he has the right to expect the support of lis neighbors 1 whose interests he has always been a hard worker.” Senator N. \V. Aldrichis of Rhode Island who is working hard in Allison’s interest, said; “We look for the nomination of Alli- son. We have assurances of support which lead us to believe that he is tho choice of more delegates than any other candidate. His purity of character and his unremitting services to the country entitle him to this honor from the representatives of the west and bespeak for him an equal support from those of the cast. National Committeeman C| the outlook for Allison was f that they had lost none of the which they felt when their headquarters were first opened. *You can see,” said he, that Allison is fast gaining and we believe that he will be a winner.” Congressman Joseph Lyman and ex-Governor Gear also expressed substantially the same opinion. There have beeu a large number of call on the Nebraska delegation to-day. tional committee meets at 10 o’clock to-mor- row morning to nominate the temporary chairman and the members of the del express the greatest confidence that J. M° Lhurston will secure the prize. Church Howe has a list containing thirty-four of the mem bers of the national committee who HE CLAIMS ARE SOLID FOR THURST This is, however, denied by the friends of Estele of California, who have been working hard to-day and to-night and are claiming a of the committee. Itis probable that Judge Robertson will be named for the national committee Tho Alger boomn has held its own during the day if appeavances und reports are to be believed, There been-a large aniount of worl by the Alger managers among the col- ored delegates from the south, and rumors that the barrel has been tapped float on the night air. But the very wealth of Gov- ernor Alger is proving a detriment in some quarters where the remembrance of Blaine! famous Jauy Gould banquet in New York has from theiv minds. Sherman's sapporter ure unabated in their nfidence of the ultimate success of their ndidate. They claim that the ticket to a united Pacific coast in opposition to or Sherman bas failed and that the eastern delegations which have lately arrived have more than come up to the expectations of the Sherman manugers as far as votes are crned. The attempt to draw from Sen vman some of his southern colored fricnds has entirely failed and they express the strongest contidence in the Ohio states- but he has received no encourage- on said that vorable and confidence ON. There are evidences to-night that the movement for the ticket of Harrison, of In- diana, and Phelps of New Je ing considerable strength, of the Havrison-Phelps ticket urge that its nomination will settle two doubtful states, which, if secured, will make VICTORY CURTAIN EVEN WITHOUT 3 Mr. Phelps is known as the le la mount of Bluine strength, son lias also reccived assurance from the ne divection The conferences to day between Mr, Phelps’ mau agers and Colonel Dudley of Indiana, and also with a number of members of the Pa. cific coast delogations, which have put both the Phelps and the F n men 1 the best of humor, and caused them to sing more loudly than ever in confldence of the success of Indiana and New Jew The combina- tion is a taking one, and it would be mnot at all surprising should it succeed in case She mau's strength falis away, as his opponcats prediet, after the second ballot, Briefly sumuwed up, then, the situation at the opening of the convention week is this: The Gresham movement has practical hausted dtself. Sherman leads all c dates by a head and neck, and the Alger men are vociferous, but they have at the present ting more lungs than votes.

When Colonel Ingersoll was informed that New York had agreed to support Devew, he said, in answer toa reporter's question: “Personally I do not know much about the granger states, or hether they will support Depew or not. Of course there would be the cry of the nominee being a railroad president, but I think the people are intelligent enough to know that he is en- gaged i a lawful business and it is hardly fair to say that a man in that position is not ciigible to political preferment.

NES, Ta,, June 17.—[Special to Tur BEE.|—1t has been a good many years since 80 many able bodied citizens of lowa were out of the state or were preparing to leave as now. ~ At other national republican conven- tions, Iowa people have visited Chicago in great mumbers, but-this year, with an lowa candidate for the president, and one so popu- lar as Senator Allison, the state is just mov- ing over cn masse, and for the next few days its capital city will be Chicago. A canvass of the crowd now there, or to be there by to- morrow, would show nearly every state officer from the governor down, a large por- tion of the members of the last general as- sembly, and enough plain every day citizens to found a small state. Consequently for the fow who remain at home, business is quiet —everything waiting to hear from Chicago. The members of thé Allison brigade from this vicinity who have not already gone, started over the Northwestern this after- noon. The brigade w: ipanied by the regimentai band from Eldora, one of the fin- st bands in the state, and by the Dubuque drum corps and by the Decoral drum corp. The latter is one of the prize drum cgrps of the country, having won honors af inte state contests, A glee club from this ci accompanied the brigade to sing Allison songs and help add to the enthusiasm.

Senator Wilson and Congressmen Henderson, Conger, Gear, man, Struble, Fuller, Kerr and Holmes are here from Washington, helping on the Allison boom. New York Solid For Depew. Cricaco, June 1 uncertainty which has surrounded New York as the leading actor of the coming convention, has been dispelled. To-night it was announced that the delegates from the empire state had de- clared for Chauncey M. Depew unanimously, and that under such conditions Depew would ept the honor of having his name presented to the conven- tion. An informal ¢weus had been held, it was said, and a result had been reached witho 1etion. Subsequent investig tions v d this, and an effort was made by the Associated Press to see the ipient of cw York honors, He had alveady vetired, however, and his private secretary @ it he [ not be .

New York stands to-might as one wan and Depew is “the choice,” Chauncey Won't Chance 1It. Ceaco, June 17.—Since Mr. Depew’s ar- al he has been busy sounding representa tive men from the west on the advisabili of his candidacy. He has sent for ma leading men from the northwestern state: and the result of his inquiries has not been ssuring. He had a conference to-day with Marvin Hughitt, of the Northwestern railway, who has been collecting some evi- dence concerning the grangers prejudices against a railroad president in the states of the northwest. The ment is to- night on good authority that Depew will to-morrow morning = announce his withdrawal from the contest, having become satisfied that the convention'is in no mood to nominate him, In the eventof Depew’s with- val it is the programme to unite the Ne Yorlk delegation and make her voice a powe in the convention, but it is not likely this can be done, as many 'dekgates are independent and decline they will excreise their individs preferences.

Cuicago, June 17.—A new clement in the presidential contest was made apparent to- night when the Dakota men and Washington territory contingent, representing twelve votes, openly declared that they will take care of ther friends, Sherman's friends were exultant., Dakota's cause had been ably championed in the national committee by Colonel Hooker of Vermont, a pronounced Sherman man. Allison’s friends also put in a claim on Dakota's good will in return for the services of J. S, Clarkson, who had also s*ood by Dakota in the national committee. The change to Dakota men night by John C. Mew of Indiana and Lawson of New York was_interpreted as threatening to mean that Harrison, perhaps,had a mortgage on fresh support from Dakota, and that the ambition of Warner Miller of New York to be chairman of the convention would re- ceive help from the same source. J. M. Bailey of Dakota, who was spokesman for the territory before the national committee, said to an Associated press reporter this evening that the delegation had not settled upon a candidate. —— Silent For Citizens Blaine. NEw York, June 17.—[Special Telegram to Tur Brer.]—A conference of republican deaf mutes was held last evening to learn the opinion of the mutes in the principal cities as to who should be nominated for president and vice president at the Chicago convention. The deugates declared for Blaine and Foraker. Blaine, they said, should be supported by every deaf mute voter because he advocated the establishment of the national deaf mute ,college at Washing- ton, D. C., and the school for deaf mutes in Bangor, Me. The delegates would not ex- press an opinion as to who should be nom- inatea if Blaine refused to accept.

The People Whisper Their Fears, [Copyright 1883 by James Gordon Bennett,] Bexuin, June 17.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—If straws show which way the wind blows, then two things that Kaiser William IL did on the very instant of his father's death causes gen- cral comment and arouses the gravest ap- prehension for the future. Kaiser Fredgrick was dead at twelve minutes past 1 Friday morning. The then Crown Prince William, together with the other members of the im- perial family, was at the emperor's death- bed. At the very moment of death the crown prince walked out of the chamber and gave orders to his aide-de-camp, Major Baron von Notz- iner, to have the palace surrounded by fresh cordons of troops and sent another officer to order the regiment of hussars of the guard to patrol the grounds and to let no one in nor to let no one go out. The hussars arrived at a smart trot and did their duty ad- mirably. Even Sir Morell Mackenzie was for half an hour held a prisoner. Even the passes given by Prince Radolin, hof-marschall, and by Count Zeckendorff, the emperor's chamberlin, were annulled. Within two minutes after Kaiser Frederick's death a friend of mine, provided with one of the hof-marschail’s passes, who was in the palace at the time of the emperor's death, was unable to get oat, and was kept a prisoner in the guard house from 11:30 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. All Potsdam w patrolled by troops, exactly as if in war time in the presence of an enemy. This rigid and uncalled for military measure was the very first act of the new emperor, The sccond act was to order the imperial purple standard to be hoisted on his own palace, the Marmor palace at Potsdam. The young emperor’s imperial standard was hoisted within five minutes after his father death, so not much time was lost in assert- ing his imperial authority These are the two first acts of the young emperor. No one dares say much about it in Berlin, but they cause general une: are regarded as emblematic is to come bye and 1 t, an influential member of the reich ot a socialist, but a stalwart national- ist, said tome: “Isce from these two acts that there is danger ahead for Germany. Our great Kaiser William and our good rederick both died peacefally in bed, but our young and cnergetic Kaiser William 11 will, as you Americans say, ‘die with his boots on.’ I don't think there is much danger of war, but rather of his provoking =i arbitrary military meusures a state of fee ing throughout Germany that will arouse e attempts and lead to internal strife and discord. I think the immediate effect of Kaiser William’s reign will be to incre n immigration to America about 80 per cent.” The above language expre: feeling of the great masses of the German cople. The new emperor may not prove to be such a botspur after all, but such is the opinion aiready formed of him. He is im- petous and dashing, but will the great masses of the German p2ople submit to pure military nd will the other German kings and grand dukes, the king of Saxony, the regent of Bavari, the king of Wurtem- burg, the grand duke of Meck- lenbur the grand duke of Saxe-Coburg, submit to the absolute sceptr of the young emperor, who by i gesture of his hand has the sole power of declaring war, with the same implicit obedience with which they obeyed the venerable kaiser William I, Such are the questions tl every thinking, man in Germany is now asking himself, for with the death of kaiser Frederick was extinguished all immediate hope of a free ballot and free representation, s to-day the rule THE DEAD EMPEROR.

Prominent Nebraska City Lawyer Arrested for Embezzlement. TAKEN WHILE LEAVING CHURCH. He Makes a Temporary Settlement, But Humor Has it That the Worst Is Yet to Come— State News, A Deacon of the Church Arrested. NEBRASKA CiTy, Neb,, June 17.—[Special Telegram to Tne Ber]—M. S. Campbell, clerk of the district court, this morning swore out a warrant for the arrest of Law- yer A. S, Cole, charging him with embezzle- ment in the sum of §600. Cole was arrested while returning from church and settled the matter for the present. About a year ago Mr. Cole was attorney in the case of the Shreflle heirs ve Cleve,in which the latter was required to pay the heirs some $600, which amount was given to Cole to settle the matter, but instead of turning it into court gave the district clerk his note for the amount with a prom- ise to settle with the plaintifts, as he was also their agent. The matter drifted along on promises until several days ago, when Mr. Cole disposed of all his Nebraska City property and was making arrangements to ‘leave this evening for Washington terri- tory to locate. The district clork xl‘"-ll:s wind of his intended departure sent him wo) by an officer to come and settle, which he promised to do, but instead went to the attor- ney of the parties interested and claimed to have settled long ugo, but when asked for eipts could not show them., When he Ssaw arrest was inevitable he turned over notes to the amount of $500 and promised to settle the remainder in the mornin Mr, Cole’s trouble is a sad blow to his es- timable wife and many friends. He is u dea~ con in tho Presbyterian church, a leader in temperance work and a lawyer well known throughout the state for his strong anti-Van Wyck sentiments, and as having attained considerable uncuviable notoriety by his al- leged as n the escape of the United States signal service defaulter, Captain How gate. His many cnemies are jubilant oves his fall and claim that the worst has not yet been heard and that other charges will ap- pear i him for embezzlement, but his friends say the charges caunot be sustained.
