He ridiculed the statement of an ul'imatum having been drawn up by the United States, and said he could not serlously discuss the matter. The fact, however, remains that since the diplo matic break between Great Britain and Ve ezuela, some years ago, the United States had been endeavoring to bring about a peaceful ttlement of the question. The same situa tion continues at present, and the longer the matter was allowed to drift the more anxious 1d the United States become to see it definitely settled.

Dickinson, Bsq, Candidate for District Judge, Tekamah, Neb.: My Dear Sir—You being now engaged in an effort to be elected to an office for which you have been nominated, and in the conduct of the canvass with your chosen com- panfon, Cunningham R ott, 1 take the liberty of reminding you of a few things “I owe my defeat for renomination to you, and 1 desire to leave nothing undone in’ the payment of my political debt. Being indebted to you for this condition of things, you cans not blame me for desiring to repiy you in | full in the gold coin of the realm. For this purpose 1 am a single standard man “Irom your own personal assurances prior to the meeting of the convention, as well as from my own knowledge of the feeling of the delegation elected from your county, I had | no reason to believe but that I should recefve | the vote of your delegation. You had said to { mo at least upon two occasions in my cham- | bers at Omaha, in the presence of one or | more of the present occupants of the district | bench, that the delegation from your county | was for me. You had assured me that under no circumstances would you enter any com- | bination with any set of individuals in rela- | tion to the choice of the convention for dis [ trict judges; you were of the opinion that | no combination was necessary, and that any | man who went Into a combination to defeat | the nomination of the then present judges would meet with ultimate defeat. Your nom- ination you considered assured from the fact of your locality, and of:the two counties which were supporting you. For this you had good ground. You were aware, as was I, that in view of the two delegations already instructed for you in Washington and Burt countles, that Douglas county had conceded your nomination. As late as 10 o'cleck on the morning of the convention you assurcd one or more of my friends that I would receive the votes of the delegation of Burt county. You assured me in private conversation that C. R. cott had no votes in your county, unless it was necessary for your nomination, when they would be willing to swallow him. You 150 assured me that he had not to exceed two votes in Washington cou 1 confess that upon the announcement of tae vote of Burt county, which vote was the first to be announced in the convention, that I was com- pletely paralyzed when the chairman of your delegation announced the entire vote for other gentiemen than myselr, “Are you aw why this was done? If not, let ‘me advise you that it was because of a combination made by you and Cunning- ham R. Scott and his friends, whereby you considered it necessary to defeat myself and Judga Blair in order to appease the wrath of the head and front of the Clan-na-Giaels in Douglas county. Why did you do this, Judge? Because you thought that C. R. Scott had be- come, all of a sudden, a fit and proper man to be renominated for the office which he now holds? If %0, what has changed your views? No man knows better than yourself the feel- ing of the entire bar of Burt county in rela- tion to that gentleman. How often you have expressed to me your uiter abhorrence of him as a judge; how you have characterized his fitness for that position; and you know better than any one else that he was not tha choice of your delegation; but still, notwith- standing your oft-repeated opinion to me of him, you saw fit to enter into a combination, not only to nominate him, but at his request to beat Judge Blair as well as myself for res nomination “There are a class of individuals compose ing a portion of society of the Chinese popus lation in th try known as highbinders, hey are assassins for booty. Mr. Scoit, with his “lieutenants in Douglas county, Messrs, Slabaugh, Macleod & Co., occupy the samd lation as do the Chineso assassins, excepl hese gentlemen are political assassing tead of | With them you have seen fit to make your bed. Tn my judgment you have violated every principle ‘of hono and manhood, every principle of concedeq friendship; violated every promise, and vios lated the faith which the peopls of Burt county had placed in you, when you went intg a combination, not only to nominate Scott, but to defeat nominution of others at hig dictation. “These to me are not pleasant sentiments, Judge Dickinson. I had rather leave them unsaid than to say them. For you persons ally T have never entertained anything buf the warmest friendship, and I had reason td believe that you entertained the same fof me. You had often extolled my conduef upon the bench, not only to myself personall but to others; not only orally, but in wr ing; and to be (hus slaughtered in the hous of my friends, and for such a cause, has lefl me but one alternative, and that s to pay my political debts.
