The county commissionors ro- fuse to pay the bl for that work, while the state officiais can find no fund on which to draw for that purpose. And 8o the matter rests. Thé men said to bo crazy are: John Taylor, the negro who Kkilled Bob Woods for $60 in this eity in April, 1850; Hugh Carroll, the man who shot Judge Bor- elt last yoar while the latter was seated at 1s desi, bocause of a fancied wrong; Lish Nelson, & young neero who shot a policeman in Hastings, and Martin sent up from Burt county for shooting with intent to kill.

There was no argument and the purity of the ballots was not impugned, but a ropresentative of the two parties to the case and the court repaired to a side room, where the recount was begun. On the face of the returns Burr was elected by twenty-Lwo votes, but Hargreaves contests on the ground of a4 number of irregularities. The count of the First precinct of the First ward gave Burr a gain of four and a loss of one for Hargreaves There w hirteen disputed lots in the precinct, and it will probably count of these to determine, At the close today thirteen prec been canvassed with but slight ch Shall They Be Counte: The school bond injunction case was up bofore the threo district judges again this morning, and the recount of the ballots pro- ceoded with.

THE OMAMA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. JUNE 20, 1893, SCRAMBLING FOR SPOILS Followers of Jefforson Anzious to Get on Unole 8am's Pay Roll. DEMOCRATS ON HAND HUNGRY FOR OFFICE New Collector of Revenue Tells of His Plans—Has Namod Two Doputies and Will See that Democrats Fill the Other Vacancies. “Is Mr, James North in the house?" is the question that has been passed over the registering desk at the Paxton hotel, times without number, during the last few days, and until yesterday morning it was answered in the negative to the evident disabpoint- ment of the interrogators. The face of the day clerk was irradiated yesterday morning with an inward light ashe gracefully said: “Yes, sir; Mr. North is in," “'Mr. North has arrived,” etc., to the stream of place hunters and political friends that called to see the new collector of internal rovenue. It was with some diMculty that Mr. North managed to snatch time enough from tho numerous engagements that were thrust upon him to eat his meals but he maintained a pleasing and un- rufied exterior nevertheless. Manager Toburlington Castor of Lincoln was also at the Paxton and with his able assistance the throng of callers of high and low degree were nearly all permitted to pour out their songs and unbosom their anxicties in a man- ner supposed to accomplish the desired results. It is definitely decided thut Mr. North will take charge of the revenuo office for the dis- trictof Nebraska and the two Dakotas on next Friday evening and of course it be- hooves those whoare desirous of securing positions in the office or us deputios to travel over the distriot to make hay while vacan- cies remain. Plans of the New Collector, “Iwill tako charge of tho offico next Fri- day,” said Mr. North 1o Beg reporter yes- terday morning, “but I havenot yet made up my list of deputies or my office holp. I may sey that I have practically decided on one of my doputies, but of course it would be out of place for me to make any announcement of that kind hefore taking charge of the office. It is altogether probabie, though, that T. B. Pavker of Dorchester will bo appointed as a deputy to take charge of the district com- posed of Otoe, Lancaster, Suline, Butler, York, Clay and Filmore counties. “There is a matter with regard to the re- aistricting of the stato that may compol me todelay to the last minute the appointment of my doputies. I have been given to u derstand that tho Treasury department con- templated cutting down the number of dis- tricts, giving Nebraska 01, South Dakota 1§ and North Dakota 1. Tf this is done I shall have one doputy than Captain Peters had and will necessarily have to be a consolidation of counties in some of the districts. 1 want to know just how the matter is going to remain befors I make any appointments of fleld deputies. It is probible that the department will inform me as to tho adjustment of the business before Friday evening.” “Have you decided upon the ofiice help you will employ?” “‘Not entirely. My son will take a position in the ofiice and ultimately will become my chief depu Ho has had a good deal of experience in office work, having been en- gaged in business for a number of years, and he neld a position in the United States land ofiice during Cleveland's first admnistration. 1 know of no one who can represent me quite so well in a posi- tion of great responsibility as my son. There is but one difiiculty in this connection, and that is that his health is not very good. but T hope ne will be able to do the work devoly- ing upon him.”” “Is it true that you intend to retain Mr. Denuis for some time? “Lwill not say as to how long I shall retain any of the present force of office help. I donot know. Iam notacquainted with Mr. Dennis and have no absolute knowledge 48 to the necessity of retaining him any more than any one clse. ‘I ftend to look into the business of theoffice some today and then I shall probably know more about it.” Castor Wants a Clean Sweop. When Mr. Tobias Castor gets left in tho appointment of his friends to federal posi- tions it is not on account of his inactivity or want of eavuest work in the matter. Ho has undoubtedly scored one point in the appoint- ment of deputy collectors, for Mr. Parker of Dorehester is his especial friend. “Thave asked Mr. North to appoint but one man,” said Mr. Casto: to Tite Bee man, “and I 'think he will b appointed. That man is T, B. Parker of Dorchestar.” “How long do you_thinlk_Mr. North will retain the present office force?"” “Icannot speak for Mr. North,” was tho modest reply, “but it is my opinion that there will be'a clean sweep just as soon as it is possible to doit. As I understand it, this is a democratic administration, and 1 sée no reason why repubhcan employes should be retained any longer than is absolutely neces- in any of the positions.” Speaking of the fisht that Congressman Bryan began on Mr. North, the railroad statesman said: “Ialways looked at that matter as being a sort of by-play on the part of Bryan simply to attract the attention of the independents. It was not so mucha case of hating Mr. North but of love for the independents that inspired Mr. Bryan to make that attack, With the appointment of Mr. North, of course, the attack died out.” Among the faithful who congregated at the Paxton to offer advice to the new collector were: Colonol Frank P, Irs- land of Nebraska City, C. W. Poole of "Tecumseh, A. Hardy of Beatrice, Hon.W. A. Paxton, Hon. Jolin "A. McShane, Dr. George L. Miller and Euclid Martin. Some of the OMce Force Nominated, It was stated last evening that it had been practically agreed upon that three of the ap- pointees for this division of the revenue dis- trict would be found in the persons of Louis Heimrod, ex-state oil inspector; Poter O'Malley, ex-county clerk, and Patrick Lynch, ex-county jailer. As the news spread among the representatives of the anti-Boyd faction of democracy, who haunted tho Pax- ton, there was an abundance of reviling and gnashing of teeth. “Thought he was going to try to harmon- ize the opposing factions in this county,” growled one of the disaffected ones. "’l'illl looks like it, don't it? If our side is to he recognized at all, it will have to be in the appointment of the other two, for these three are all Boyd men, every mother's son of them. North's capital H means h—l io- stead of harmony every tim, One bolder than the rest possessed the necessary unerve to remonstrate with the collector against the appointment of Heim- rod, and was coolly informed that the ap- pointment was demanded by the German democrats in a body, and it would have to stand, Some Medicine for the Martinites. Still another bitter pill for the anti-Boyd- ites was the news from Washington of the appointment of P. A, Grifiith of Kearney as register of the land ofice at Sidney in place of George K. Blanchard. The ap- pointment was made on the recommendation of Juan Boyle of Kearney and ex-Governor Boyd, and this evideuce of favor with the adiniuistration was adaitional gall and wormwood to the Morton-Martinites. John M. Adams, who has been appointed receiver at the noy land ofice vice, M. M. Neeves, resides at that place, and held the same position during Cleveland's first term. J. W. Ferguson of Minden, who has been appointed registrar of the laud office at Grand Island, vice Franklin Sweet, is au old- time strajghtout democrat. ——— Piles of people have pues, but NoWitt's witehhazel salve will cure them. thero ————— Balloon ascension tonight, 8 o'clock, e Uncle Sam Will Proseocute, United States District Atwrney Baker bas taken hold of the case of the men ar- rested as train robbers and just as soou as the state aud municipal authorities are through with the culprits he proposes to give them a shaking up that will undoubtedly laud them in the penitentiary.
