{ THE OMAHA DA \—————————————————————————————————————————————————- ILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 5 i DEEP CHASN STILL TAWS| 8plit in the Demoeratio Party of Nebraska Bhows No Bign of Olosing. STRAIGHT OUTS DENOUNCE THE BOLTERS Brands Several Members Traitor and Calls & Convention to Meet in Omaha Next Month. “1'1) vote for a republican, a populist or anything outside of h—, but I won't vote for a holting democrat.” That was the sentiment expressed more forcibly than elegantly by Colonel C. D. Casper of David City at the meeting of the | democratic state central ¢ ymmittee last night, and it was adopted by the committe after a discussion that lasted several hours. Al ante-meeting talk of coneilia tion nd efforts to get t ygether with the rump democrats were thrown to the wind, and the messenger of peace was glven a vacation until after the next election, with chanees strongly In favor of her being per- | manently out of a job in the camp of Ne braska democracy. The administration democrats have calle their convention to meet on September The silverites allege that the other fellows hope to get in carly and have thelr candi dates entered upon the ballots as the siraight democrats of Nebraska. This move was checkmated by the silverites, who will hold their convention on August 22 in Omaha, and now the fight is on. The meeting of the committee was called to order by Chalrman Smyth at the Pax- ton cafe. He stated that he was gratified to see %0 many members of the com- mittee present, especially in view ot the diffculties touching the trans- portation problem that had been in the way of the committee since its organization Since the last meeting the committee had gone through a campaign and had elected a governor of Nebraska. He Is nota democrat fn name, but is In fact. His vetoes have commended him as a democrat and justified the action of the democratic convention in nominating him. His nomination was a necessity, In view of the choice of the re- publican convention last year, and no true demderat could regret the action of the party in selecting h HINT TO THE POPULISTS. The chairman hoped that an early con- vention would be cal court. Then if ( rnor Holcomb's party felt like reciprocating for past favors and join- ing with the democrats in the coming fight, well and good. If it did not, the democrats would carry the fight on alone. The financial report of the committee was received and showed that the receipts and ex penditures since the last convention balanced to a cent, and the report was adopte Edwin Falloon of Falls City moved that th vacancy in the committee’ caused by the death of Hon. Robert Clegg of Falls City be filled by the appointmert of W. H. Crook of Falls City. A delegation of Falls City dem ocrats presentel a petition asking for Falloon's appointment, but he positively de clined to serve, and Mr. Crook was selected to fill the vacancy. Then came the slaughter of the “traitors.” It was announced that Judge J. C. Crawford of West Point, Dan Cook of Beatrice, and several other men who had been named as members of the state central committee had gone over to the bolters, and a desire was expressed that the committee ‘ecide upon the manner of Inflicting the political death pen- alty. Mr. Falloon moved that in all cases where members of the committe had refused to serve, or had written letters to the chalr. man denying any allegiance to the committee that their places be d vacancies filled by th ommittee. Mr. Thompson of Grand Island offered an amendment that no actlon be taken in such cases. In support of his amendment Mr. Thompson urged that the members of the committee had been selected by the last state convention, and that unless they resigned, dled, or moved out of the state, their places could not be filled except by the coming state convention. SE NTIMENTS OF CASPER. Colonel Casper of David City was very em- phatic in his declarations in favor of the im- mediate decapitation of the bolters. He sald the members of the rump convention had Ig: nored the mandates of the supreme court, which had held that they had no rights to the name of democrats in Nebraska. “I will he exclaimed, “for a republican, a -11, but 1 at.” Mr. Cas- wo years he had y In Nebraska, and during that time many of the alleged leaders vote, populist, or anything outside of I won't vote for a bolting demo per sald that for twenty. been fighting for democrac of the party had been trafficking with the dem acratic vote. He had been asked as a mem ber of the legislature to vote for a republican candidate for senator, because the monopoly democrats wanted a republican elected. F had not done so, and he'd be d—d if he Wi golng to sell out to that Kind of cattle this time. Mr. Burke of Omaha son would get delegat s chosen to the con- vention from the counties in which the mem- bers of the committee had gone over to the bolters. Mr. Thompson replied that he would have the loyil members of the county commit tees call conventions and send delegates re- gardless of the action of the bolters and their sympathizers. Then some one ask to show that Judge Crawford had refused to act with the committee. In reply the chairman read a letter from the judge in which it was stated that he owed no allegiance to the com mittee headed by Mr. Smyth, and would act with the simon pures, headed by Mr. Martin “Expulsion is what he deserves, shouted Mr. Kelligar of Auburn, and the declaration’ was cheered. Mr. Rittenhouse of McCook sald that the refusal of Judge Crawford to act was, in fact, a resignation, and created a vacancy. He wanted to see full delegations at the con- vention and wanted the committee to take steps to secure such a result. Mr. Hollenbeck of Fremont declared that the positions of Judge Crawford and his ik Were as certainly vacant as though the men had gone into the opposition party openly, in- stead of by the side door. NOT ENTITLED TO RECOGNITION. Mr. Falloon sald that party discipline was as necessary as school or army diseipline, When men like Judge Crawford and Dan ulted the chairman and tee they had no right to recognition by the committee or a part in fts makeup. The committee had ample au- Cook openly Ing members of the comm thority to pass upon the qualification of its members. He said he had been told by a member of the rump committee that that committee had decided at its meeting last fall to every effort to have the demo- cratic vote thrown to Tom Majors for gov- ernor, and to elect republican members of the legislature, He was not in favor of hav ing membe running a republican sideshow John Stevens of Hastings said that the bolters were worse than the common enemy. with the committee and at the same time declare his fealty to the bolters, Dr. Edwards of Lincoln was tired of the conciliatory plan. It had been tried and did not work. One reason for the lack of suc- cess in the democratic campalgns was that too many of the -alleged leaders of the party were really republican allies. Now was a good time to clean them out, and he wanted all the bolters to get out of the committee and make room for honest democrats. Frank M Davis of Beatrice told how the real democrats of Gage county had been hool- winked into selecting delegates to the rump | conventton to be held on September 5. Dan Cook had helped engineer the deal, and now the true blue boys wanted authority to call another couvention to select delegates to the convention to be called by the only recognized state committee that has the 16 to 1 trade | mark Mr. Thompson's substitute was voted down and the motion to fire the bolters went through with a whoop. HARD TO NAME THE SUSPECTS Chairman Smyth was asked for the list of the members of the committee Who had placed themselves outside the pale of the party under the motion that had just been ndopted. It was not an easy list to furnish | Koehle Meeting of Mr. Smyth's Central Committee | of the | men who were “on the list” the d and that a good man would be named for justice of the supreme clared vacant and the sked how Mr. Thomp- 1 if there was anything s on the committee Who were | authorities for herding cattle on Ind Some of the members of the committee had | been guilty of sins of commission and others of sine of omission. One of the cases of prima facie evidence was the call recently issued by the bolters which was signed by | four or five members of the silverites' com- | mittee. The list of suspects, as finally read by the secretary, was as follows: Judge { Crawford of the Seventh district, M. Doolit {tle of the Thirteenth, Dan Cook of the | Twenty-first, J. | third, C. 3. !, Kesterson of the Twenty- urer of the Twenty-fifth, John D. Corson of the Twenty-fourth, H. J. of the Twenty-sixth, J. J. Melntosh Chirtieth, and J. W. Farrell of Platte | Wh it came to the mater of bouncing the | o a fow hitches, John D. Corson of the Twenty- fourth district had been going a little sidling, but had sent a democrat of the right brand as | bis proxy to the committee meeting, and so | | he was passed up for future referétce. C. J. Furer of Fairfiell was also open to suspi- clon, but ho had sent his proxy down by Judge Ong's brother, and so he's all right | during continued good behavior, Jerry I rell, the new secretary of the Board of Trans- | portation, was accuzed of having accepted | office under a republican body, but that was condoned. It was tacitly admitted that a fellow who could get an office should not be particular about whose administration he was under, and It he was a democrat and was % down an office that would otherwise filled by a republican, the fact should not count against his democracy. Jerry will be | considered chalked “O. K. till further notice, This ended the exemptions, and the other fellows on the proscribed list walked the plank in a body, and the committee filled the vacancies as follows Ira Thomas of Oakland, to suce Crawford; W. D. Forbes of Butte, to succeed M. Doolittle; Frank M. Davis of Beatrice, to succeed Dan Cook. Chairman Smyth was authorized to select successors to H. J. Koehler and J. J. McIntosh, and to il any other vacancies that may occur in the ranks of the comm:tteo hefore the state convention. T TO ROBERT CLEGG. On motlon of Mr. Falloon the following re lution, touching death of the late Rob- ert Clegg of Falls City, was adopted: Whereas, Since last meeting of this committ rt Clegg, one of its members, and exgate to the last national convention, departed this in February last at his home in Falls City; therefore, be Re the democratic state com- mitte aska, That in the death of Robert Clegg the state has lost one of its mest useful and enterprising citizens; the democracy of the state one of its ‘most active and able members, who, during a residence of over twenty years in Nebraska, testified (o his constant and unfaltering faith in democratic principles by attend- ing, almost without exception, the ings of this committee and state ¢ tions. Robert Clegg always did his whole duty to his party as state committee from the Iirst district. He was ge ins, wise in counsel, h time to the organization of his p Therefore, as a mark of re- spe > the memory of this benevolent, able and faithful democrat, the secretary of this committee fs hereby Instructed to spread these resolutions upon the minutes of this meeting, and send coples of them to his family at Falls City, and furnish copies of the same to the press of that and this city for publication. The date of the state convention was fixed for Thursday, August 22, at 2 o'clock p. m., and Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings and Nebraska City put in bids for the location. There was the usual amount of promises of entertain- ment and democratic enthusiasm by the members from the cities seeking the loca- tion of the convention. Omaha won the meet- ing on the first ballot, the vote being, Omaha 13, Hastings 5, Lincoln 5, Nebraska City 1 and Norfolk 1. BASED ON THE BRYAN VOTE. Counties will be entitled to representation In the convention as follows: One delegate for every 100 votes or major fraction thereof cast for Hon. William J. Bryan for United States senator at the last election, no county to have less than one vote. An effort was made to allow Omaha and Lincoln to have an extra allowance in the matter of delegates, but as some opposition was manifested to the proposition the mo- tion was withdrawn. Chalrman Smyth was Instructed to notify Hon. J. G, Carlisle that it was the wish of the state committge that he visit Omaha at the time of the holding of the convention and discuss the silver question with Mr. Bryan. The chairman was also authorized to secure the services of other speakers of national re- pute to visit Nebraska during the coming campalgn.

STRUCK A BIG LEGAL SYAC Irrigation Oempanies Mast Pay for Echool Lands Orowed by Ditches. VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM PRESENTED Had Constracted Fxtensive Works on the Theory that State Lands Could Be Utilized for Right of Way Without Compensation. LINCOLN, July 16.—(Special.)—The big Ir- | rigation diteh companies up west have run against a legal snag, which is just now caus- | n 40 of ng them considerable trouble. Sec the general irrigation law provides that ““All persons, companies, corporations or as- sociations being desirous of constructing any of the works provided for in the preceding ht to occupy state sections, shall have the ri lands and to obtain right of way over and through any highway in any county in this state for such purposes without any com- penzation therefor.'” Under this clause the ditch companies claim the right to dig through school land without first going through the formality of an ap praisement and i king arrangements to pay for the same. The projectors argue that the ditch is a ben It to the surrounding country and, in reality, Increases the worth the land. However true this may be, s 18, article iii, of the constitution of says “Lands under control of the state shall never be donated to railroad companies, pri vate corporations or individuals This clause is the ditch companies. At present it is not clearly shown how they are to avold paymen' for school land traversed by their canals, a some of these long ditches traverse hundrs of acres of the most valuable school land in the state INSPECTING NEBRASKA MILITIA. Adjutant Goneral Barry leff Lincoln today at 3:35 for Fairbury. Here he will meet Major Fechet. Together they will inspect company D, Second regiment, leaving there after for Nelson, where they will inspect com- pany H, First regiment. According to the returns of the Lincoln assessor there is but one bicycle in the city, and that one is owned by Dr. Simmons. The real number of wheels in the limits of the 000, and their average cost price $100 each. It fs quite possible that the descrepancy between this fact and the assessor's returns lies in the condition of the bikes. As is well known a majority of bicyeles are purchased on time, and the would-be owner, having never made the final payment, does not hold that the title cle dealer, on the con- trary, in giving in the list of his personal rty, would not readily return a wheel, or wheels, that he had every reason to believe assessor's bailiwick is put down as is in him. The bic prop were sold. Thus the bike becomes lost in the shufile.

LINCOLN, July 16.—(Special.)—The State Board of Equalization, consisting of Governor Holcomb, Auditor Moore and Treasurer Bart- ley, has commenced Its annual labors. Ab- stracts of assessments from every county in the state, except Boyd, have been received and the figures representing the total assessed valuation of Nebraska show a startling de. crease. This year the total is $171,238,520, Last year it was $183,717,498. In 1803 the total was $194,733,1 Thus the decrease in the assessed valuation of the state over two years ago amounts to $23,494,604. The worst feature of the low assessment is the fact that it will not meot the expenditures of the state as authorized by the last legislature Talking BEAVER CIT Telegram.)—The republican county central committee met today and issued a call for the county convantion, to be held August 20 Candidates for county office are very numer. ous and a hot campaign has already com- menced pecial Steinkamp's Condition Critie:l.

WESTERN ROADS MAY TOGETHER Effort Being Made to Revive the Western Lines Pnssenger Aswocintion. CHICAGO, July 16.—It is highly probable that a meeting_ will be called for next week at the office of Chairman Caldwell to at- tempt once more the reorganization of the Western Lines Passenger association. There is the feeling now that the work can be car- ried through without a great deal of trouble. The Union Pacifie, which was compelled to remain out because of the uncertainty sur- rounding the affairs of the Oregon Short Line, is now free to act as it chooses, and it has sald that it has no objection to joining the assoclation. The Rio Grande, which was the one which had objections of various kinds to be overcome at the last meeting, is under- stood to have a few less of them at the pre: ent time, and the old fight between the Wabash and Alton over the 25 c s differ- ence at St. Louis has been submitted to a board of arbitration. The chances for a su cessful attempt at reorganization seem greater now than for many months, and the roads are anxious to lose no time. It is not abso- lutely certain that the meeting will be held in Chicago, as both Denver and Omabha roads were after it, although the lines at the former place have practically given up the fight. ——————— srnment Given Leave to Appeal, SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.—Judge McKenna in the United States district court here has granted the government permission to appeal the Stanford case to the United States court of appeals for this circuit.
