CRAIG, PREPARING FOR THE FRAY. The Capital City Thronged With As- piring Politicians. TWO PETITIONS THAT DOVETAIL. A Sad Case Reportéd to the Commis- sloners of Insanity—A Clouded Church Property Title. 1020 P STREET, LINCOLN, August 18, During the past two weeks the chiet topic of conversation on the streets of Lincoln has been the coming state convention and the probable outcome. Of course this has been pure proguostication and has led to the sug- Jzestion of all sorts of combinations, some of which, however, present peculiar complica- tions. The fellows who have the railroad pchemes in hand have been dviving their stakes into everything that promises to fortify their position. They have given their Imagination full sway and consequently some hings have been done by them that look futher gouzy, For mstance, candidates have en planted here and there just to throw ate the idea that they were rrible fight against some particu- lar canaidate, strong with the people, while their real intentions were deeper down. lastings was sprung in Saline to cripple _cese, Clarey captured the delegation in that county and this railroad play was side- tracked. All these things are talked over nnd speculation naturally follows, and the K‘nunu mind is kept in a constant whirl. No one is wise enough to even pretend to hnm\' what the probable outcome will e. Guesses only go. Some of them sometimes look like knowledge, for they seem so tangible and possible. The city is thronged to-day with politicians from ail parts of the state. They are looking for com- Jortable quarters for what bids fair 15 be the greatest political convention ever held in the Btate, while some of the old war-horses have been fixed for some time past. Graham, of Cuming, Yost of Douglas, Hill of Guge, Ein- el of Phelps, Benton of the great state of Nebraska, Cropey of Jefferson, Peters of Founc, Irvine of Buffalo, Scott of York and LINCOLN BURFAU OF TiE OMANA BEE, } paking teen of Saunders have all taken rooms at he capital. Politicians and candidates say that the con- vention will be exciting but not bitter. Can- didates especially talk in this way. Of course they are all sanguine and ready for the fray. None of them can see any possible combina- tion that may be formed to knock them out. a\lt hope is the great factor in human ambi- fon and no one will see until brought face to face with stern reality. Some of must be left, PETITIONS THAT DOVETAIL. T he Crete board of trade, John L. Tidball, H. S. Fuller, George D. Stevens and 8. L. cnda\\'l. respectfully ask that the state oard of transportation mdnflmw}g’ the order reducing freight taril thi late action of the board can not but pre etrimental to the best interests of the commonwealth, and that railroad building has actually stopped because of the unfor- tunate order. The board of trade and four business men of Crete who signed the re- puonstrance say that capitalists cannot be in- duced to invest where their fullest scope of uoney getting is handicapped, and the won- derful facilities the state now enjoys for freight shipments will be reduced because the rail s cannot maintain reasonable net earnings on the proposed basis of reduction. Mr. C. A. Whitford, of Arlington, under date of August 16, writes the board as fol- Jows concerning the petition he sends in, sigued by forty-two citizens of his town and vicinity, endorsing the state board in the reducing freight rates: Jear Sirs: While circulating the enclosed petition I had & few moments' talk with every man who signed it; hence I know I but echo the sentiments of each one of them when [ urge you in the language of tho petition to let no consideration induce you to rescind the reduction on freight rates You have orderefi. Not a man has refused to wign it to whom Ihave preseated it I1fIhad the boys postpone roclting the time T could get hundreds of signatures to the petition. ATTEND TO BUSINESS OR RESION. Mr. H. M. Waring, clerk of the board of transportation, bas a very soft time of it. The state pays him #1,500 per_year to do the clerical work of the office, and” his instruc- tions are to keep the office open from 9 o'clock in the morning until4 in the after- noon, unless off on busincss connected with the office in_other parts of the state. Mr. Waring obeys the commands of the state to perfection. He opens the ofice and comes and goes when he pleases. He has been in his office two days during the past two weeks. Citizens and members of the state board call almost every day, knock for admittance at the office, and find it locked. Mr. Waring is off_on apleasure trip somewhere. But he promptly returns every quarter, draws his pay and meanders away. This _criticism is not" confined to Tuk B representatives, but to members of the state board, and their names will be forthcoming if desired. Mr. Waring 1s a very competont man, but he fails to attend to his business. SAD CABE OF INSANITY. A sad case of insanity was reorted to the insane_commissioners this morning.
