THE OMAHA DAILY B% FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1804. should be ready for dlstribution on the Wednesday before election, and that was the ast day upon which a judiclal order con- cerning the ballots could Issue. Mr. Shoomaker replied that that difficulty had been obviated, for the reason that the order of the court was issued Wednesday night, and within the required time. Mr. Sheehan insisted thal there had been no fraud, surprise or deception and that the plaintift should not have waited until last day before bringing his action Shoemaker had won such victories on Wednesday, and with this idea he was of the opinion that he could take the earth away | ‘with him The nominees of both the convention and | the petition should go on the ticket “That's true, but is it not a fact,” sald Judge Keysor, “that Judge Holcomb was the regular democratic nominee by the conven tlon and entitled to the des at of demo crat?”’ Mr. Shechan thought o, but Insisted V’L”‘ the petition cindidates were entitied to the | party name, as they were known to be democrats. Part of the democrats had left | tho eonvention and had held another conven tion that was democratic From what he had read Judge K sald that he had been led to believe that Judge Holcomb had been nominated by the regular vention and Sturdevant by a boiting faction of that same convention TESTIMONY AS TO NGS. Deputy County Clerk Redfield was called as a witness and testified that the certificate of nomination of state officers was filed in his | office on October 29 There had been no ob. | Jection, to his knowledge, filcd against designating certain candidates thercin as | straight democrats. Mr. Shoemaker argued county clerk was not the proper place where the objections, if an: hould be filed. The petiton which was filed was regular, but the secretary of state had no authority to desig- nate that the nominees were straight demo- orats. There was but one duty devolving upon the secretary of state, and that was to decide upon the regularity or irregularity of the nominations, his authority ending there, He did not object to the certificate, but he @ object to the principle which would designate one man as a democrat and another as a straight democrat. The men who were contending against the Issuance of the mandamus, Mr. Shoemaker declared, wore not fighting for Sturdevant, but were doing their work in the interest of another man, Tom Majors; they did not care for Sturdevant and had no hopes of electing him thelr idea being to confuse and misead yoters, thereby hoping to help the man whe had been nominated by the corporations and tho railroad politicians. TOO LATE TO INTERFERE. In passing upon the case Judge Keysor held that the policy and the objects of the Australian ballot law were to proteet the in- terests of the voter on one hand and the candidate on the other. He said that it was true that the order had been issued on Wednesday, but to his mind it was not | such an order as was contemplated by the law, as the law apparently meant an affirma- tive order commanding the county clerk to do some certain thing concerning the ticket The legislature evidently intended that ob Jections should be filed to the ticket not later than the Wednesday before the election, so that after that time the clerk could go on with making up the ticket without inter- ference. The court said that it appeared that the certificate had been duly filed with the secretary of state on October 26, at which time the candidates objected to had been des- ignated as straight democrts. From that ate until Wednesday there had been no ob- Jections filed to the form of the certificate, though there had been plenty of time. On the whole, Judge Keysor was of the opinion that the court was without jurisdiction, owing to the fact that the time for filing objections to the ticket had expired. Hav- ing reached this conclusion, the writ of mandamus was denfed and the action dis- missed. 81M Mr. sor | that the office of LAR CASE IN LANCASTER. Little Probality of Anything Being Ac- o plished Befors Election. LINCOLN, Nov. 1.—(Special.)—James Mc- Nerney, chairman of the Lancaster county central committee of the people’s independent party, at 3 o'clock this afternoon applied to the district court for a Writ of mandamus @gainst County Clerk J. D. Woods to com- pel him o print the county ballots with the bracket, and also to compel him to follow the name of Candidate Sturdevant with the party designatbn ‘“democrat by petition.” The petition sets up that Silas A. Holcomb and other candidates on the ticket were nom- inated by two distinct political conventions; that there is no such organization known a democrat and people’s independent, and that the. defendant, Woods, refuses and intends to refuse to print the names of the aforesaid candidates according to law. The petition contends that the action on the part of plaintiff is in violation of the order of the Lancaster county district court, “heretofore made in an_action pending in this court herein the State of Nebraska ex rel, James C. McNerney was plaintiff and J. D. Woods, county clerk of Lancaster county, Nebraska, defendant, and contrary to the law as in- dicated and laid down by said court in said action, and has actually printed the official and sample ballot containing the names o the aforesaid candidates followed by the worda, ‘democrat and people’s independent,’ in violation of law—one of which ballots as printed is heretofore attached and marked “Exhibit A’ The plaintiff prays that a peremptory writ | briefly in regard to the | known | confirmed was circulated. of mandamus may lssue commanding the de- fendant to print the ballots with the bracket and with the words following Sturdevant’s name on the ticket, ‘‘democrat by petition.” ‘The case is set for hearing at 9 o'clock to- morrow morning. BOME INTERESTING ELEMENTS. County Clerk Woods was seen today by a representative of The Bee. He sald that the ballots w all printed and that he did not se0 how another set could be got out in time to comply with the provisions of the law relating to the time in which the ballots must be in the hands of the judges prior to election. Interest in the ballot form s wan- Ing, owing to the near approach of election and the further fact that it is quite certain that the intent of the voter will be protectea by the courts after he has deposited his bal- Iot. It appears that there will be three forms of ballot used in the state, one with the bracket, one with the word “and” and another with the hyphen between the words “democrat and people’s independent.”” There will also be a fourth variation in York county, where the form of the bellot, as authorized by the court of that district, will be as* follows: “'Silas A. Holcomb, Democrat-People’s Independent.” , This form brings the name of the candidate and the party designation on two the case whers the bracket Is used. If a motion is made to punish the county clerk for contempt a peculiar point is likely to be raised. Last year Mr. Woods refused to place party designations in three separate lines. ~ Mandamus proceedings were begun, but the court did not hand down its decision untll after election. The decision was that each designation should go on a separate line. The recent decision in the Edgerton-Allen case reaffirmed this. It is likely that the writ will issue tomorrow., The county clerk SERIES NO. 43-44 THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY. 4 200 Pages, 260,000 Words INSTRUCTIVE AND USEFUL. 4 Wwme of Xnowledgn and o Mintop Usefuiness There are more thi; tustruet v fay entertainiug tn that it ool meriean Eneyclopedic Dictmary > ihas 1y I“I‘ml:r ‘F\Ih“"k‘“::ll':'\'r" Im;,ul-\t’.i " greal work, now for the firsh placed ‘within the reach of everyone, 158 umique publication, for 1 15 a1 he swne g %fiwl dictionary and a complote encyelos that number of the Book eorrospond- With the series nwmber of the soupoa qu]‘lflbd.?filllfl;l. g nday v nd Throo Week - coupoan, -, h Ifli:\nll 1 ;uhlu v‘vl:‘l‘btyumn:ul‘i Tho American Eueselopedia Diod ary.

BRYAN AT SOUTH OMAHA, Urges the Voters to Vote as Real usiness Men Next Taesdny. Sam Gosney, congressional committeeman from South Omaha, presided at a democratic meeting in Bauer’s hall last night at which Congressman Bryan was the speaker. D. 8.

He simply stated that he was for anything in general would benefit Nebraska, and particularly South Omaha, and was for Bryan for United senator, Judge M. B.

He could make arrangements to get rid of all the paper Nebraska had if it was for sale. When W. J. Bryan stood up the bouse gave him hearty applause. He opened his remarks by saying that he had come to uth Omaha for the purpose of organizing “‘Business Men's assoclation The audienco howled, and then the speaker went ahead to state in a serious manner that all business men should organize, but that he was opposed to a few getting together and organizing a A8 a business men’s association. /ith reference to the Australian ballot m Mr. Bryan said that under the old law the laboring men had been practically held a8 slave Under the Australian system every Individual could vote as he pleased He urged that the men who had the legal right to vote go to tho polls on election day and quietly vote as their honest convic- tions dictated, and not be influen or coerced by any suggestions made to them by men who might hold a position over them. Judges und Clerks Will Serve. A call for a special council meeting at 4 ‘clock yesterday afternoon was signed by five councilmen yesterday, but as Mayor Bemis refused to add his signature the meet- ing did not materalize, The effort to ob- tain a special meeting was the result of the dsmocratic dissatisfaction with the list or Jndges and clerks of election as submitted by the mayor. At the meet'ng Tuesday night the democratic members, with the exception ot Burkley, voted against the confirmation of e appointments, but they were unable to uncover enough votes to carry their point Yesterday Burkley declared that he voted with the mayor under a misapprehension, and the call for a special meeting to reconsider the action by which the appointments were It was signed by Councilmen Burkley, Cahn, Hascall, Bechel and Howell, but when the mayor wa ke sign it ho said he had spent a great dea of time in making up the list and he believed of aving a populist g | that it was the best that had ever been ap- pointad. It had been once confirmed, and it the members desired to reconsider their action next Tuesday night would be time cnough to do it. This knocked the recon- sideration movement in the head and the election officials will serve as appointed. For the City's Klection. The force in the office of the city clerk Is making the final preparations for the elec- tion, and the office is half filled with the ballot boxes and supplies. These will not be distributed until the morning of the elec- tlon, when a lot of expressmen will be on hand bright and early to provide each vot- Ing booth with the necessary articles. Bach load will be in charge of an officer, who will be detailed for the purpose of seelng that the supplies go into the hands of the elec tion officials just as they leave the city clerk's office. There is a good deal of inquiry on the part of judges and clerks as to the manner In which they shall qualify. Many of them seem to have got it into thelr heads that they must qualify at the office of the city clerk or mayor, ‘but this is not necessary. They can do all the qualifying that is neces. sary at the booth on election morning. The law provides that one of the judges shall Swear in the other judges and the clerks, and that one of the other jud, swear him in in turn. ] Entortalned Three Hundred Voters.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A letter has just been received at the ofMce of the quartermaster general, stating that bids for the construction of tho two buildings at Fort Crook, consisting of a set of bachelor officers' quarters for cight officers and a barrack wing for four con panies, wero opened at Omaha on Tuesday, October 31. Unless there is an unusually large number of bidders and the proposals are somewhat complicated, it is very likely that a telegram will be sent to the quarto master general naming the lowest bidders and asking for authority to award the contract without waiting to send the papers and having the award made here. But even should such a telegram be received within the next two or three days, asking for this authority, it is not now prob- able that such permission will be given, as the quartermaster general and his assistants are anxious to have the matter looked into here and have the contract awarded from head- quarters. Captain Crosby P. Miller, who is one of the assistants to the quartermaster general, today said to the Bee correspondent, that as soon as the preliminary arrangements have been concluded and the bids have been received here, the maiter will be immediately taken into consideration and the contract for constructing the two bubldings be awarded as soon thereafter as possible. iy Pl aiing Omaha Does Not Want Branoan. A letter was received yesterday by the police from the thief of police of Harrisburg, Pa, asking if I F. Brannon was wanted here. Brannon, it will be remembered, was arrested on April 22 for obtaining money un- der false pretenses. He represented himself as the chaplain of Kelly's army, which was encamped in Council Bluffs at the time. He stopped at the old Pullman hotel and so worked upon the sympathy of the pro- prietress that he = obtained not only a week's ‘board, but also a suit of clothes and some money. He also obtained money from other parties on the strength of his representations. His scheme = was finally uncovered and he was arrested. He was convicted and sentenced to sixty days in Jail. On the conclusion of his sentence he put up at the Union Pacific hotel, and after aying there for a week he skipped out ithout paying his bill. The oftense is not big enough to warrant bringing him to Omaha and he will be left to the mercy of the Harrisburg police. He was arrested there for swindling hotel keepe e e Reception to Rov. J.

Fight Amohg Candidates for Legislative Honors Attraeting Attention. CHADRON, Neb,, Nov. 1.—(Special)—If any one thinks Dawes county politicians are not at work they are greatly mistaken. Out- side of the great fight on the head of the state ticket, the state senatorial and repre- sentative candidates are the most discussed H. G. Stewart, the present incumbent, is again before the people on the populist ticket He will not have the large following he' had before among the democrats and many popu- lists on account of his avowed opposition to Bryan. He declares that as long as there is any show of electing a populist senator he will never vote for any one else.’ This fact Is going to throw many votes to the genial and well known republican candidate, J. A. Scamahorn of Gordon. Scamahorn is well known throughout this entire sectlon, having been one of its carliest settlers, and his personal friends are numbered by the hundreds. His faculty of making friends and the straightforward way in which he states his platform, make his election as- sured, although he has an adverse majority to_overcome. Hon. James W.
