Whether it would pass, he would not attempt to say. The leg- islature had no right to say that the contest should not take place, In doing so, it over- rodo not only the supreme court but also the constitution.

I have not talked with Mr, Wright. “1 havo told the gentlemen I spoke to that we could not get_our opponents in a better place than we have them now. They have shown to the people that no matter whether our demand was right or wrong they would not allow the matter to be inquired into Now what better thing could we have with Wwhich to go before the honest people of this stato! That's why Iam opposed to a contest now.” the de- Alon the Omaha, y o Relief for the Settlers, Lixcory, Neb,, ob, 13.—|Special to Tie Bre.)—In response to the question which has several times been propounded to Mr. Lud- den, that gentleman says that the commission has not yot deawn any money from the treas- of the state to pay for the goods order for the relief of the drouth suff which latter amounted to about # Mr. Ludden is now sending out o Paxton & Gallagher ard MeCord, | Co. of Omaha and at several pli the state for both g the following quantitics: Oat i barrels; rice, 10 barrels: hominy, 19 barrels: beans, 118 boshels; flour, 114,000 pounds; corn meal, 107,000 pounds; meat, 700 pounds.

Wnen thé house went out of the committecof the whole and took up the bill for final adoption the assailants of civil service reform changed their posi- tions as their names _were called and they came to the ‘record, .

The ouly thing the house succeeded in doing was torceord itseifin oppo- sition to making tho civil service commission an independent bedy, reporting to no exccu- tive department unless it was to invest the commission with greater discretionary pow- ers by appropriating so much woney for given number of clerks to be expended by the commission within its diseretion.
