THERE IS NOT A DEARTH OF CANDIDATES They Are Namerous and Aggressive—Har- mony in the Repubiican Camp—How the Democrats and Independents Are Getting Along—Newsy Items, The coming week will be one of politics, and that will complotely overshadow every- thing else. Candidates in all parties aro as numerous as Missouri paw-paws at this time of tie year, and cach has a following more orless respectable in numbers, I'ne curb- stones uro lined with candidates and wire- pullers, and whenever you see a whispered | consultation 1n progress betweén two or more male citizons put it down that a wiro | 1s being worked for all that 1t is worth and a clever political schems is being hatched, either to bo ruthlessly shoved aside by a more husky one or to be successfully worked ont. In the republican camp the utmost good foellng provails, and the rivalry between tho candidates is of a friendly nature, and the defeated ones will readily acquiesce in the decision of the majority. Two ocandidutes for commissioner from the Second district reside here, and are carrying on an active vanvass, C, C. Stanley is one of the gentle- men, and he has beea in the race for many & month. Stanley was a candidate for post- muster at the time the present in- cumbent was pamed, and the bit- ter fight of that tuime still lingers fresh in the minds of a few, who openly avow he shall never reach the goal of his ambition. But if he captures the nomination these few will fall in line and support him for election. H. E. Hogle is tho other aspir- ant, and has been in the feld less than two weeks, Hogle is a successful merchaot, and the younger mombers of the party are his most ardent supporters. It was right hore that the Youug Men’s Republican club camo to the front with a scheme to prevent any bad blood from arising, and to go into the county convention with a solid delegation for either Mr. Stanley or Mr. Hogle. put up u delegation of fourteen mon who had not expressed themselves upon their prefer- ouce for commissioner, appointed a commit- tes to waiton the two caudidates and se- cured their hearty co-operation in the elec~ tion of the delogation. At the caucus Friday night that delegation was elected almost unanimously. Before the eounty convention in held the delegation will get together and Agree upon which of the two gentlemon is the most available for the nomination and will support him in the county convention. The only other aspirants in the republican | ranks are for logislative honors. Bruce Mc- Culloch has been frequently mentioned as & candidate for state scnator, but ho says no. His modest declination, however, may o for naught, as his friends aro determined to see bim & senator, and may succeed. When the commissioner dispute is settled it is probable that the defeated candidate will be proffered tho sohd support of the delegation for state senator if he will nocept. In the list of logislative aspirants A. L. Sutton seems to be away in the lead for rep- resentative, and although there is talk of others none have come forward. Sutton was formerly a justice of the peace and was eleoted by the largest majority ever given a man for a city office in democratio South | He is a young attorney with a good ' Omaba. oractice, Captain J. E. Hart of the govern- ment meat inspeotion department nhas ulso been mentioned for representative, but ho says he is not a candidate, although his friends say ho is ia their hands. Nathan Gordon, who gave democracy the go-by a year or 30 ago and became a republican, is a late candldate. That completes the list of republican aspirants. Domocracy's Factional Fights. The democratic party is in the midst of several bitter factiona! fights, and the breach is s0 broad it will never be closeq, or st least not this year. There are four distinot factions in active existence today, and a bitter contest will take place at the bri- maries Tuesday. Four candidates for the nomination for commissioner from this dis- trict are carrying on an active and aggressive canvass, aud each one considers himself a three-timo winner. Ex-Mayor W. G. Sloane 1s not unlike Barkis, and he 1s being pushed by Ed Joanston, Eli Doud and a majority of tno Jeffersonlan club. J. H. Bulla, who is now a member of the city council ana Board of Education and wants every oftico in sight, is in the fight and would like to relieve Major Paddock. He 1s also a member of the Jeffersonian club and finds his supporters in C. M. Hunt, Peter Cockrell and a few more of the faithful, Jack Walters has bad a taste of public office by serving two years in the council and ho fluds it very palatable. Jack is a member of the Jacksonian club of Omaha, and ho will have a good following in both cities. Jumes Brennan, who does not live in South Omaha, bas his fricuds and the sup- port of an evening paper here. e may cap- ture the delegation and leave the South Omaha candidates in the rear. The legislative honors may go a-begging, although that is an unheard of thing in tha democratic r:nks. There are o avowed candidates for the nomination. E.T. Farns- worth, who was formerlv Joe Edgerton’s law partuer, is mentioned by a few in con- nection with the house, He is the only one whose name has been coupled with the for- lorn hove. An evening paper is making a frantic ef- fort to seccre the congressional nomination for Jacob Jaskalek. Jucoo residesin Omaha, and is the proprietor of a cigar factory in this city. He wouldn’t make any especial ef- fort to get out of the way of political light- ning should it strike bis way, and continues to roll cigars apparently unmindful of the greatness some people are secking to thrust uvon him. He muy bave the support of the South Omaha delega‘ion, i the Camp of the Popullsts, The people's party eamp presents tho most picturesque spectacle of ull. 1t is a hobby with the udneronts (of wildeat schemes that no mau shall seek an oftice, but that the oflice shall cowe around and offer itself to the putriot, It is really surprising to see the number of individuals who are chasing around and doing their utmost to get in the way of a particular office, hoping it will pro- pose in order to be rid of them. There are not to exceed thirty-three people’s party men in the city, and every one of them is oither holding &' position or makinga her- culean effort to land a political fish, The South Omabia people's party followers are not at all modest, ard if it wasn't for the scarcity of them would have a candidate for each ofiice 1n Douglas county. Hut they will be satisfied if Samuel P. Brigham 1s nominated for congress. Mr. Brigham started 1n life a greenbacker, nas kept step ever since with those of thau faith, and would rather talk today of tho doctrines of the peoples’ party than sit down to a feast fit for & king. When it comes to stato senator Uncle Sam Rynearson is right at home, and he is not only in the hands of his friends, but his own hands are working haudreds of wires iarge and strong enovgl for a hangman's rope. or the house of representatives Goorgn W. Raworth aud C, €. Curtis, two typical independents, are in the mad scrambie and would like very much to test the acoustics in the state house at Lincoln %, H.

There are but two city oflices to be Olled The club | by an election and they are vacant because of resignations. Whon Wilev Beckett was appointod chief of police ho resigned as con- stable and A. A. Donnelly was appointed. The same is true of when Henry Ditzen was elected city clerk and H, H. Raven wa: pownted to succeed him as assessor. candidates for those two positions are very searco. Lyman Carpenter, a republican, will probably be named for assessor by his party. Eor constable, 1. A. Barrett, an in- dependont, is tha only one who is mentioned. Each aspirant is at work, and the coming | week will be one of tne liveliest in a polit- | ‘cnl way ever witnessed in the Magio City. Woloomed Arrivals, Thomas Swords has artived in the city and with his family has taken up his rosi- dence on Thirty-tbird street in Omaha. Mr. Swords has taken ok:argo of the pork dopart- ment of the G. H. Hammond company’s packing plant and is now activoly engaged in bis new work. For twenty-one years ho was in the employ of the Morrell Packing company of Ottumia, Ta., bolding the most responsible positions and is regarded as ono of the most efMcient pork men in the country. When tho time arvived for the departuro of Mr. and Mrs. Swords from Otumwa, whero they had for so many years resiaed, they wero remembered by friends, and as a token of the esteom in which they were held | carvied to their new home a fine silver tea sol. In Collision with n ) A driver for N. Mouritsen, a dairyman, narrowly escaped doath ysstorday foronoon, oud a badly wreckea vehicle telis the tale. A motor train on Twenty-fourth street, near M, struck tho milk man’s wagon, reloasing the team of horses and pushing the vehicle ahead of it for fifty feet. The driver was in the wagon, which was & covered one, but managed to escape unhurt, bLarring a fow slight bruises and scratches. team scampered off up Twenty-fourth street where they were stopped. The wagon wa badly wrecked. Another Substantial Tmprovement. Another handsome structure has been planned and will bo added to the maoy fine business blocks in the city. Frank Dolezal is the projector ana will immediately begin tho construction of a new brick building. The building will be but two stories high, and in sizo H0x75 feet, with a handsoro pressed brick and red stone front. It will bo located directly south of the new Singer block on N street, facing on Twenty-fourth streot. When completed the building will cost §3,000 and will be provided with all the modorn conveniences, Policomen’s Annual Ball, The fifth annual police bail will be held at Blum's hall Thursday, Octover 13.

Pat- CAPTURE OF JEFF DAVIS. As Told by the Widow of the the Lost Cause. Many fulsehoods have been uttered in regard to the capure of Mr. Davis, which have been exposed in publica- tions by persons there present—by S retary Regan, by the members ol my personal staff, and by the colored conch- man, Jim Jones, which must have been convincing to all who desived to know the truth, We were, when prisone subjected to petty pillage and to annoy ances such as military gen tlemen never commit or permit. While the camp was being plundered, which was dono with great celerity, there was a shriek dreadful to hear, ana our servants told us it came from a poor creature who, in prying up the lid of a trunk with his londed musket, shot off his own hand. Out of this trunk the hooped skirt was procurcd, which had never been worn, but which they pur- ported to have removed from Mr, Davis’ person. No hooped skirt could huve been worn on our journey, eyen by me, without great inconvenience, and I had none with me, t the new one in the trunk. I have long since ceased to combat falsehood when it has been uttered and scattered broadeast u much less distance than this one has been borne on the wings of hate and vilifica tion, and [ now rest the case, though, could the torture wantonly inflicted when he was a helpless prisoner have been averted from my husband by uny disguise, 1 should gladly have tried to persuade him to assumo it; and who shall say the strategem would not lave been logitimate?

Of course such an accusation must fail at once: it may, however, rop- der these people willing to assassinato me hore.” There was a percoptible change in the manner of the soldiers from this time, and the jibes and insults heaped upon us as they passed by, notwithstanding Col- onel Pritchard’s efforts to suppress tho expression of their detestation, wore bard to bear. Bitterest among thoso was an officer named Hudson. ilo in formed me that he intended to take our poor littie protege as his own, and solic itude for the child troubled us more than Hudson’s insults, Within a short distance of Macom wo were hulted and the soldiers drawn up in line on either side of the road. Our children crept closo to their fathoer, especinlly little Muggie, who put hor arms about him and held Tiim tightly, while from time to time he comfortad her with tender words from the Psalms of David, which he repeated as cheer- fully as if he were sarrounded by frionds, It is needless to say that as the men stood at their ease they expressed in words unfit for women’s ears all that malice could suggest. In aboutun hour Colorel Pritchard returned, and with him came a brigade who testifled their belief in Mr. Davis’ guilt in the same manner, Men may be forgiven who, actuated by prejudice, exhibit bitterncss in tho first hours of their triumph, but what ox- cuse can be offered for one who, in cold blood, deliberateiy organizes tortures to be inflicted, and superintends for ovor a year their application to the qutver- inp form of an emaciated, exhausted, helpless prisoner who, the wholo south proudly remembers, though reduced to death’s door, unto the end neither canted his faith, fawned upon his p secutor, nor pleaded for mercy? o o EKEPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION, HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN COUNTY TRAL COMMITTRE.
