The unanimous sentiment among the poo- ple all along has been that the best interests 0 the city will bu served oy not holding an election this fall. Mayor Walters is thor- oughly familiar with the workings of the municipal mactinery and his administration will_vary but little from the course laid out by the late mavor when he assumed the duties of chief magistrate of South Omaba. Th o will bo no change in the avpointees of Mayor Miller ana everytming will run smoothly along.

They alsoullege that the amount of merchaudise shipped in and out of the town is consic able, and that if the hoard pleases, they would like a new depot todo business in. Under the present arraugemeni they are compelled to go to either Gordon or Rushville when they want to sc- cure an empty car, and this fact always causes a delay of from twenty-four to seventy-two hours.

Sues the B. & M. for Damages. The clerical force at the office of the clerk of the district court will very soon have to be materially increased to take care of the unusually large number of damage suits that are being d this fall. The big suit of to- day is that in which John G. Monjars sues the B. & M. for damages toihe amount of $20,000.

WAS NOT SNUBBED BY THE COMMITTEE Me Says He Was Invited to Attond Thars- Night's » Plans Ace cepted a s Being Carried Into Effect. ornor Boyd objects to being sat dowa upon, and he is not willing to admit that the action of the democratic state central com mittee oo Thursday evenine 1s open to that construction. It grieves him, furihermore, to have tho situation thus preseated to the people of the state, He came up from the capitsl city Friday evening to witness the antics of Patti Rosa in the thespian palace that bars the guberna- torial name, and between the acts he found time to express his views on tbe political situation, both as convected with the action of the committee and aside from it. He said that he had not been barred out from the committeo meeting, and that oo the con trary he had received several Invitatious from the members of the committes to be present and participate in their delibera- tions. He would say, however, that no in- vitation had bexn extended to him by Mr. Martin. How he could have gotten into tho mecting without that invitation, in view of the order issued by Mr. Martin denying ud- mittance to all except on iuvitation of the committeeman from their district, the eov- ervordid not explain. He did say that 1t was not his fntention or desire to be present, as ho had another engagement and left the hotel before the meeting of the committee was called to order. He could not agree with the published re- port of the proceedings in anothar varticu- lar, as he was certain_that so far from being opposed to him and the plan of political pro cedure that he had mapped out, the commite tee was “wid 'im.” The whole plan as being followed out by the committee and the party generaily throughout ths state. he de- clared to be exactly as laid out by kim mouths ago, and along the line that he was still working and slong which he had ad- vised the «smmittee and ali other democrats to work. Harmonlous Beyond Expression. He said that he had been consulted by neacly every member of the committee as to the action that should be pursued at Thurs- day evening’s meeting, and that the result of their deliverations was in strict accordance in overy particular with what ho had ad- vised. “He denied that thero was any ma- terial opposition to him within the party, and insisted that the intensity of democratic harmony iu this state at the present time is something well nigh unspeakaole. He discussed the relative strength of the parties in Nebraska and said that thero whs no question but that the republicans had a clean plurality of from 5,000 to S, He thought thiat the republican state ticket naa a liitic the best of the outlook at the present time. He was willing to go on record as stating that the Weaver electoral ticket would carry the state by 25.000. He smd that he had paid no atiention to the con- gressional fight io any of the districts, as he was devotine himself to the electoral and legislative fights. He was certain that neither party would have a majority in the next legislatare on joint ballot, and that the democrats would have the largest following and the republicans the least. He called attentiou to the fact that neither Martin nor Castor could speak with any authority regarding the wishes of the na- tional committee, und explaned it on the ground that the authority was delegated in oimself. So far as the distributon of patronage was concerned, ‘he said that he did not want any of it, as it was a thankless honor at best, and created an endless amount of ill-feeling and enmity. Proud of His Prophecy. One thing to which he could “point with vride"” was a copy of his letter to Cleveland, written two years ago, stating that Nebraska would not cast her vote for tho ropublican nominee at this presidential election. He wrote that “while it will be 1mpossible to throw the vote of the state tothe democratic nominee, we will take Nebraska out of the republican column,” and he wanted credit for bewng the most sagacious political propuet in this part of the country, He coneratulated himself because he was out of the list of political aspirants, and asserted that thero \was mnot & thing in the political world that he wanted, butnot & word did he sav as to why he con— sidered himself fortunate in wanting noth- ing at the hands of Nebraska democrats this year, WHO 1S TOBE CASTOR? Query W Knocked the Wind Out of Colonel Martin When in New York. Now cowes the report that Euclid Martin’s conference with the democratic big bugs in New York was short and sweet. Report hath it that no sooner were the introductions over than Mr. Martin squared bimself for business and said in his most overpowering way : 'Now, gentlemen, before wa go any farthor 1t will be nocessary for me to know ‘whno will control the patronage in Nebraska in case we are successful 1n this campaign.’” The ensuing silence was of short duration and was broken by a still, smail voice that conveved the information that one cartain J. E. Boyd could safely be depended upon to bave something to say in the matier. “Isu’t Mr. Castor to have any considera- tion at your hands "’ demanaed Mr. Martin, with all the hauteur that could safely be coi- lected within lus anatowv atone time. “Castor! Castor! Why—er—we really haan't been thinking of him in that connec- tion, doncherknow. Good day, Mr. Martin, Be sure to darop in and ses us whenever vou are in New York.

About 600 New Yorkers have goue home, and a eroat many Indiana and Counecticut people are on their way. The Treasury de- pariment, which 1s the greatest political de partment of the government, shows the gen- eral laxity that seems to prevail. Of the thousands of men frow all parts of the coun- try cmployed in the various bureaus bat 251 have since October 1 applica for leaves of absence, and if 400 apply now they will be a very larg Ihers are less than 530 clerks in the Navy department and less thao fifty will go bome.

Itisestimated that not more than 150 will vote. In the other- bureaus no informa- tion could be had, slthough all thought tnere would be a more general moviog out as the daay of election approached. There are 362 males employed in the patent ofice, and of these 118 have signified their intention of going home. In the land ofice there are 280 men at work, and perhaps 100 of these will be absent for the same purpose. In the Postofce department 400 men draw a salary ana not more tnan 150 will go home for the sth. The census office viill fornish its quota of votes, but the number is stili uncertain. On the rolls of the pension oftice there are the names of 1,600 men, of whom up to October 2 sked mnd obtained leave. A heaa of oue of the divisious stated that he thought the total number might be placed at 250, while a well koown revublican clerk and politician satd he was positive 590 of the men would leava tue city for the week of the election.

Within the next week between thirly and forty Lowa men from Washington will go_ to that state to cast theiv ballots in the First district for Governor Gear. Altogether there are about 140 men from Iowa who go home to vote, most of them being in the First dis- trict where their votes are badly needed. Estimaté of a Democrat. General S. S. Yoder, who has just re- turned from Conuecticut, is moro honest than the average democrat in- summarizing tho situation 1n that state. He says: +Con- necticut is very doubtful, and it really woula Dot surprise me if its electoral vote went to Harrison.” General Yoder savs that he found northorn New York tceming with poiitics. He believes that Cleveland will carry New York. He also counts New Jersey for Cleveland, but says: ‘“I'he party is in bad shaps in New Jersey and it seems annoyingly sure that we shall lose the governor.” News for the Army.
