In Judge Ferguson's equity division several lawyers devoted the whole of the forenoon sesslon to arguing the question of how the | names of certain political candidates should appear upon the officlal ballot to be used at | the polls next Tuesday When the regularly nominated candidates for the legislature on the populist ticket re- signed, Michael Nelson, Avery A, Perry and Augustus Payne were put_up by petition and invited to run in the race. On the official ballot they have been branded as “‘People’s Independent,” a name to which exceptions are taken by some of the members of the rank and file of the party, they maintaining that this title fs misleading and that they have no right to be designated as candidates of the party which did not place them before the public. In this same category the name of George F. Wittum appears as the people party candidato for county attorney, whe & matter of fact (he regular nominee of the convention refused to run and Wittum was nominated by petition, and by petition only The populists contend that these men shouid | K0 upon the ticket as independents and with- | out the title of people’s being added Aftor hearing all of the arguments Judge Ferguson withheld his decision until 4 o'cloc! in the afternoon. PETITION MUST BE STATED. Before the adjournment of the afternoon sesslon of the court Judge Ferguson passed upon the case, granting the mandamus as prayed for by Elmer . Thomas and the other members of the central committee of the popullst committee, instructing the county clerk to designate all of the petition can- didates as ‘‘people’s independent, by peti- tion” instead of simply ‘‘people's independ- ent. In pas:ing upon the case Judge Ferguson Teviewed the issues and then said that mone of the men were nominated by any conven tion assembled, and that there was no com mittes that kad the authority to fill va- cancles which might be upon the ticket. He said that it had been contended that the rights of the people were superior to the rights of the convention, “but that,” he con- tinued, “I cannot view in that way. The people have a right to make nominations by petition, but have they the right to des- ignate and say that the nominees by peti- tion shall be the nominees of the people's, the democratic or the republican party. 1say not, unless they designate that such nominee are nominees by petition. Any other course would be a fraud; it would be wrong and it would be unjust. The mandamus in this case will Issue, and the county clerk wili | Pplace hone of these names upon the official ballotd unless he does =0 by sdesignating them as people’s Independent, by potition. It would be a fraud upon the voters of this county and district to create the impression that George F. Wittum and the other parties mentioned in this action were candidates of the people’s party, when, as a fact, they are not.” Wittum, the petition candidate for county attorney, was considerably exercised by the teelsion of the court, and, letting his pas- sions get the better of his judgment, he arose in his ceat and said that he did uot propose to have any judge or jury des- lgnate Le party name that should follow his name upon the official ballots which were to be voted on election day. In his usual mild way, Judge Ferguson replied: “This Is the decision of the court, and it stands untif 1t is reversed by the supremo court as BRACKETS MUST BE USED. At the afternoon session of the court W. . kor appeared in the equity division Defore Judgy Ferguson with what has been designated as his “bracket case, a suit Which bobbed into prominence at an early hour yesterday. This case takes Into Consideration nothing but the name of Judge Silas 8. Holcomb, the candidate for goy- ernor. On the printed ballots which have just been by the county clerk the ordered printed n&mo of Judge Holcomb appears like this: Silas A. Holcom In golng into court Mr. Shoemaker con- tends that this is not the correct way in Which to designate Judge Holcomb as the candidate of the two parties which nominated him in their respective conventions. Mr. Shoemaker contends that when the offical ballots go to the voters the name of Judge Holcomb should appear mn this forn b, Democrat-People's Independent Silas A, Holcomb, Mr. Shoemaker contends that should the | name of the judge appear as being designated a8 both an independent and democrat \here are men in each party who would not sast their . votes for him, while if he was designated as the nominee of both parties and there was a line whero party preferonce could be expressed he would be the favorite Wwith all of the people's party people and aiso With a large majority of the democrats of the state, ? 1o closing his remarks Mr. Shoemaker maintained that this was simply o soheme to defraud the voters out of the right to expresa their honest convictions and mis. lead them in voting thelr choice, The other end of the fight, the one which Was In opposition to the placing of brackets posite. the name of Judge Holcomb, was champloned by Charles J. Greene, the Bur. lington attorney, who was assisted by J. B. Keiby, another legal gentleman who fs in the employ of the Burlington road, Mr Greeno urged that the county clerk was Without authority to designate the party principles of any candidate for office, as he was compelled to act solely upon the fn. formation which he obtained by the cortifi- cates of nomination. He insisted that this Was a case With which the court had nothing to-do, s the power of the court was to con. strue the law and not act in the capacity of ‘2’ lawmaker. Two or three days ago Mr. Greene admitted that he had advised with the county clerk and had given him soms Advice as to how the names should be placed upon ‘the ticket and how the party Politiod ‘of the candidates should be desig- nated. The ~vourt, he Insisted, had mg FIght to interfere with the clerk in this | matter, as the statutes were silent npon tho | subject, leaving everything in the discretion | ~of _the “clerk.

The law as passed | by the legielature had a meaning, and it was apparent that the intentioh was to have every party and principle fairly and hon estly represented. There was no such party | the “Democrat-Peoples' Independent.’” | This was a oase where the nomination had | been made by both parties in convention as- | sembled, and that being a fact, each of those partirs had a right to a fair and honest ex- presiion. il “The order of the court,” said Judge Fer- guson in conclusion, “is that the politi designations of ‘People’s Independent’ shall | be printed upon one line, and below it upon | the next line shall be the political designa- | tion, ‘Democrat,’ both following the name of | Judge Holcomb,™ | The attorneys who represented the people's party were instructed to draw (he order, which, after being signed by Judge Ferguson, was served upon the county clerk. MUST KEEP HIS CONTRACT, Editor Hitehcoek Required to Publish Some Republican Campaign Literature. Matters political held full sway in divistons of the equity court yesterday both of the court rooms were crowde suffocation In the Keysor both and to division presided over by Judge there was a clash between the re an state central committee and the World-Herald Publishing company, the re- sult of which was that in the end the com- mittee walked away with the baggage, and from this time on until election day the paper down the street, under the order or the court, will continue to publish two col- umns each day of matter contributed by the scribblers who are working the republican news bureau The history of the case is known. The World-Herald company entered into con- tract, agreeing to sell the space and receive §5 ‘per day, Under this contract the matter was printed for a day or two, after which the proprietor of the sheet threw up the job and the two columns were used for the “publication of general news matter. Right after that the committee appeared in court and asked for an order compelling the World-Herald to carry out the terms of its agrecment, the case being set for hearing this morn/ng. In opening for the committee the attorney who was looking after that end of the fght contended that the making of the contract was a business affair for the sale of a cer- tain amount of space, the same as any other contract between a newspaper publisher and an advertiser. This being true, there had been a willful violation of a valuable con- tract, the damage of which could not be easured. The power of the court, the attorney contended, was sufficient to compel the performance of the contract, and there as no jusiificaton for the breach which had taken place. Law was cited to show that a contract once entered into could not be broken as tne fancy of either party might dictate, but instead there must be a good and sufficient re n for the action. Attorneys for the World-Herald urged that the gentlemen bringing the action were not entitled to a standing in a court of equity. The contract had been entered into with the republican central committee, an organiza- tion that was not a tuership, and an organization that was not incorporated under the laws of the state. Such being true, from a legal standpoint, it was a nonentity, hay- ing no right to sue or be sued. The mem- bers of the committee were not in court in their own behalf, but were representing a thing that had no legal existence. It was contended tFat in the event that the other parties had violated the contract the World- Herald would have been without a remedy, as there would have been no one who could have been sued, as the gentlemen protended to represent something that in law did not exist. There was no allegation to show that the petitioners were to be damaged by the failure of the paper to live up to the terms of the agreement and. the Injunetion was corrmanding the publisher of the paper to do an act that was vold, as the order was issued after the publication had ceased, It was argued that if the matter was not. pub- lished in the World-Herald it could be pub- lished in other papers, so that the petitioners would not be deprived of the means of ci lating their matter. There were no property Interests at stake and consequently the plaintiffs could not suffer any damages. In passing upon the issues Judge Keysor contended that the court was bound to take notice of the fact that political parties did exist and that they transacted their busi ness through committees. These committee. 3, | they were not incorporated companies, had the campaigns in the interests of the party | candidates. ~ The contract with the World- | Herald was made in good faith and could not | be violated so long as there was no show- | ing that it should be discontinued. Tt was a contract that was made for a good and valuable consideration and could not be broken at will The finding of the court was to the effect that the temporary order would continue in force, the paper being compelled to publish the matter furnished by the committee. Attorneys for the World-Herald wanted to know what was to be done in the event that the matter furnished was libelous, to which the court replied that that was a bridge which was 10 be crossed when it was reachel. At any time when (hé publisher of the paper shauld conclude that the matter sent In by the committee was of a libelous nature, that was a thing that could be | settled by calling upon the court. HEARD HOLCOME LAST NIGHT, Sixth and Third Ward Voters Listen to the People’s Candidate. Several hundred voters of the Sixth ward re gathered together last night in a hall at 1117% North Twenty-fourth street to lis- ten to Judge Holcomb and ‘Mr. E. Rosewater. The audience applauded often. Judge Holeomb confined his speech to an outline of the present campalgu in Nebraska. He said that on the one side were the rail- roads and corporations of the state, and on the other the mass of the people, who were supporting him. The business men had banded themselves together and formed the Business Men's association. They had set up a standard for themselves, and were callin '3 upon the people to. vote ageording to, this | standard. Some of the corporations were forcing their employes ta vote the ticket they were supperting. by threatening them With the loss of their jobs, " But, the speaker continued, it voters would consider that this was a struggle between corporations and | mass of “‘the prople, and then vote con- | county clerks throughout the state, and that the party name could not be a com- | pound of several designations On the | tckets which the county clerk proposed t ——————————————————————— SERIES NO. 43-44 THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY. 4500 Fages, 260,000 Words INMIKUCTIVE AND USEFUL. 4 Muwe of Kuowiedge and o Mint o 3 Usepwiness.

Mr. Rosewater stated that he was a republica He said that he had sup ported seven republican governors who had been elected, but he could not support the present republican nominee, Who was being presented to the people by the corporations of the .state. ~ The speaker reviewed the infamous methods before and during the state couvention which had resulted in the nomination of Majors, and made a few re- marks about his' record. Now, he con- tinued, s the time to get the republican ma. chine out of the hands of the corporations by a crushing defeat, After the speeches were concluded the speakers proceeded to a meeting in the Third ward at Twelfth and Chicago streets and made short addresses.

LINCOLN, Oet. $1.—(Special Telegram.)- A orowd sufficient to flll the djstrict court room followed the Lincoln Flambeau club ‘o a republican rally this evening at the court house. It was expected that Tom Ma- Jors would be on hand to speak, but he faileq to show up. Stirring republican speeches were made by C. L. Russcll and W. L. Hay- ward. The Sambeuu club made a brilliant display. They were armed..with Roman candles, which illuminated the line of march fram the Lincola hotél to the court house. | STRAIGHT HEARD FROM THE TWO JOHNS John M. and John L. Bpeak to the Voters of Omaha, AT EXPOSITION AND ERFLING HALLS taln Featuro of Bryni—Reltoratesy seum Speech—Wobster on National lasuos. His Debate wit the © Republicanism was ambitious In Omaha last night, the two central places of “at- traction being Exposition hall and Erfling's hall, where the speakers of the evening held the boards, Both auditoriums were filled with ladies and gentlemen. The prineipal mecting, however, was at Exposition hall, where John L. Webster spoke, while John M. Thurston was speaking at Erfling's hall, after which they both changed places, and the oratory went on undisturbed. When introduced by Chairman Wharton at Exposition hall, Mr. Webster sald that he was out on the stump in the Interest of the | republican ticket of the state. Two years g0 the democrats secured control of both houses of congress, and ever since that| day the country had taken on a gloomy as- pect. There had been great strikes, business *lepression and many failures. Worthy men | were out of employment, and the great soup | | houses had become democratic dining halls. Since the republicans had gone out of power the condition of the country had been ‘“hell up to date.” DEMOCRATS FOR MAJORS. Speaking of W. J. Bryan, Mr. Webster satd that he had stolen the democratic platform and had turned it over to the populists, though tho straight demoorats were going to vote the republican ticket this fall, The speaker fald that he had some sympathy for Tobe Castor, Fuclid Martin, J. Sterling orton and democrats of their Ik, as Bryan had stolen their party and had traded it off for senatorfal boom. Mr. Bryan's free silver ideas were at- tacked, the speaker maintaining that if the country had free and unlimited coinage of silver, it would mean cheap labor and hard times, with gold going to a premium, as It did during the war of the rebellion. City treasuries ‘would become empty and rallways and other corporations would be- come bankrupt and go into the hands of recelvers; It would mean a financlal panic such as the world never knew. Discussing the tariff question, Mr. Web- ster showed the inconsistencies of the Wil- son bill, arguing the serions effect its pas- sage had upon the country—elosing up the factories and bringing general disaster. The change of the tariff on sugar had levied upon the people of Nebraska a tax of §1,440,000 per annum, all for the benefit of the Sugar trust, which amount might much better have been given to the poor of the state to keep them from starving. In re- duclng expenses, the democrats had pro- ceeded on a certain line, that of taking away the pensions from the old soldiers, an amount which aggregated $28,000,000, and this in the most prosperous country on the face of the earth. MR. THURSTON SPEAKS. At this point Mr. Thurston arrived, and as he walked up the aisle of the hall he was loudly checred. This cheer continued until he stepped upon the platform, Mr. Thurston was Introduced by Chairman Martin as the next senator from Nebraska. Mr. Thurston sald that he had just returned from a campaigning tour, during which he tad spoken in fifty courties and had met more than one-half of the people of the state. From what ho had seen, he was of the opin- lon that the republican ticket woukd be elected, including six representatives i con- gress aud the entire legislature. Two, years ago, Mr. Thurston said, in this country every willing man could’ find. employment, while today ab least 2,000,000 men in the country were weandering up and down, the land seeking labor and finding it not. Today there were 10,000,000 persons who were rapidly becoming paupers. These could be €upported in two ways, one by opening to them the doors of the poor houses and the other by opening the doors of manu- facturing establishments, which would sing sweet American music. Protectiof, he said, opened the doors of American indus- tries, while free trade opened the doors of the American poor houses. In all of the years of the republican party's power there was not a man from a foreign land who aid not find a place to work; there was not an Americin factory permanently closed and shut down. It was apparent that God Al mighty knew what party he could trust in America. Every strike in 1892 was by labor demanding better wages, and in almost every Instance the advance was. made, but toda; Wwith 2,000,000 men out of work, no man place was secure, as there were plenty of #0od men who would underbid for the chance to be employed. Two years ago there wers 2,000,000 men making articles to be transported and sold, but today 2,000,000 men were jdle, the result of which ‘was that train crews had been laid off, section men had been dis- charged, and there had been a reduction all alang the line. The United States could ¢ompete with England in the manufacture of any- article known, and that was why Great Britaln op- posed the McKinley bill. Upon the senatorial question, Mr. Tharston sald that the next senator from Nebraska would not be a soft shelled democrat not a hard shelled pop, but he wonld' be—(“Thurs- ton,") cried the audience in overloud voice, a man who represented the people and weuld not have to take fourteen hours in order (o let the world know he was there. SEEN FROM THE REAR. Since the last joint debate, Mr. Thurston said that he had felt that he wished he was dead. At that time he said that W. J Bryan's female editorial assistant was upon the stage describing the personal appearance of Mr. Bryan, who had the ambrosial locks. The lady, Mr. Thurston said, described M Bryan as a man with “the front of Jove,™ but how she knew, he could not imagine, as she was looking at Mr. Bryan from the rear. (Applause.) Mr. Thurston declared fliat it he went to Washington as a senator he would not go there riding. two horses. There never was a day when the republicans were In power that a man could not sell a dollar's worth of property for 100 cents, but then a man could not get.something for nothing This country was large enough to take care of every ounce ofsilver thal it had in Its possession, but before being coined. Mr TPhurston sald that he would have that dollar just as good as any dollar on earth The free silver people say, “let's open up the mines to all the world.” This means, said Mr. Thurston, Ithat 100 _cemts .of labor or 100 cents worthi ‘of wheat for fifty cents worth of foreign. silver, Two years ago the democrats said: *“Turn the ropublicans out and the price of wheat will go up,’ but it went down; two years ago the democrats said rn the republicans out and the factories will open,” but they closed. Two years ago the democrats safd urn the republicans out and the country will boom,"” but it bursted. HE 1S ENTHUSIASTIC, Republican victory could. no mere .be stopped this fall than Nisgara Falls could be dammed up. with mosquitoes. It was a republican year, and there was going to be victory all along the line.

Three weeks ago Mr. Wi the author of the Wilson bill, was banqueted In Lon- don, but Willlam MeKinley recelved his ovation from the people of his own country. Mr. Whson had re celved two _ great ovations in his life, the first when the bill passed the house The day wher the vote was taken his colleagues gathered arourid him and raised him bodily upon their shouldefs; and, amid a | coln; the shouts, carried him from the chamber, but impartial history recorded the fact that W.

At 7 o'clock the rotunda of thy Lineotn was dotted with Omaha and Lincoln “administration demo erats.”” This unusual sight caused consider- able comment, but this was explained shortly after 8 o'clock, when the entire combination disappeared into a smal) room on the ground floor of the hotel and proceeded to unbottle the oratory. Aside from seven or eight fiery specches the asfembly appeared to be all at sea. Nothing definite was decided upon ana no resolutions passed. It was expected that some kind of a_political roorback would be hatehed, but nothing of the sort transpired. Among the demoorats present were Lee Spratlin, Buclid Martii, George B. Haines Charles B.

It was explained that Nebraska democrats must make a showing for the benefit of Washington crities, W. J. Bryan was vigorously denounced by nearly overy speaker. This evoked enthusiastic applause from the republicans, but was greeted with grim silence by the democrats. Candidates for the legislature on the independent ticket came in for rather mild treatment and the sentiment of the meeting appeared to be kindly toward them. Euclid Martin was the king pin of the event and his friendly hob- nobbing with the republicans was a new and interesting element in Nebraska polities. ~ Altogether the results of this meeting were decidedly tame. No particular object seemed to have been accomplished, ex- cept to pledge the few stray dmocrats pres- ent to vote for Tom Majors on election day. This pledge was glven with a will that smacked strongly of {ypical soreheadism. NO DEFENDING MAJORS. Leader of the Lincol Ringsters Not ¢ un Ovation at Wahoo.
