THE OMAMA DAILY BEE: READY FOR THE CONVENTION Bome of the Republican Oandidates Reach Linooln and Open Headquarters. LANCASTER FUSIONISTS DEMORALIZED Governor Savage Expresses His Views the Quest of Rallroad Taz- and j» Glad the Man. mus Was Brought. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) immediate signs of the approach of the re- publican state convention were visible at the hotels today. Some of the candidates have arrived and prepared to open headquar- ters Monday and others are expected to- morrow. Chairman Lindsay bhas beefi at the committee headquarters making the necessary arrangements for the meeting. “I look for & big convention, in fact, an unusually big one” said Mr. Lindsay “There are 1,084 delegates and I have re- celved assurances that mearly all of them will be here.” The committee has arranged to give each delegation one-half as many spectators’ tickets as there are members of the deleg: tion. These tickets bave already been ap- portioned and are at the state headquar- | ters, where they will be given out when demand is made for them. Fusionists Demoralized. * The demoralization of the fusionists of Tancaster county was painfully apparent this afternoon, when a few of the faithful got together in the Auditorium to nominate candidates for county offices and for the Jegisiature They elected delegates to the | state conventions, adopted a few resolutions | and discussed a few miscellaneous matters, but nom d po candidates The democrats met in one side of the hall end the populists in the other. Each little gathering was presided over by a “chair- man,” and a permanent organization in miniature was effected. In the populist crowd a resolution was introduced by A. E. Sheldon, declaring against a continuance of the fusion arrahge- | The dele- | ment, bup was speedily tabled gation named by the populists structed. The democrats authorized General Victor Viquain to name the party. delegation to is unin- represent the county at the state conven- | tion. General Vifquain is an avowed can- didate for governor and the action af the county convention means that he will have the entire Lancaster county vote pledged to his support. A little interest injected into the proceedings by J. A. McNerney, who pro- duced a resolution directing attention to the fact that the presiding officer of the United States senate, by directing Sepator Dietrich to sit down prevented the senator from “standing up for Nebraska." Regolutions were carried in both conven- tions to meet again on September 12, when, it is understood, avother effort will be made to nominate a set of candidates. Governor Renews Objection. Governor Savage has renewed his objec- tions to the prison labor comtract recently made with the Lee Broom and Duster com- < pany by the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings and has informed a member of the board that If the agreement is not withdrawn the warden will be instructed to discontinue the service. The governor and Secretary Marsh dis- cussed the case this morning and the for- mer asserted vehemently that he was not satisfied to let the Mmatter rest. He sald “the same thing, however, two weeks ago, but hevertheless no steps have been taken to either withdraw the contract or sub- Ject it to a legal test. The Board of Public Lands and Bulldings will probably allow the govermor to take the initiative. With the exception of the governor all of the members voted for and signed the contract amd thus far bave shown no disposition to bave it annuled. Savage on Rallroa ment. Governor Savage this afternoon gave out & prepared interview in which he dis- cusses and defends his position on the rail- road assessment matter. Among other things he says ““To be frank about it T was much better satisfied with the original answer of the Board of Equalization in the Rosewater mandamus case than with the amended one. My position on railroad tazation is pretty well known to the people of Ne- braska. 1 believe that every interest in the state should pay its just proportion of the taxes and the more I study the ques- tion, and I have studied it many long, weary bours, the more I am satisfied that some of the rafiroads of Nebraska are not and bave not since 1558 been paying their full share of the taxes. “1 €id not agree with the assessment this year. I contended that it the railroads were paying their just proportion of taxes n 1890, which was about onme-sixth of the total for the state, and I have reason to believe that they were then satisfied, al- Jowing this to be true and that Al otber property of the state has increased in pro- portion to the rallroads and the fact that the total assessment has been decreased Hair - Eood Falling hair, thin hair, gray hair — starved hair.

Again, with the prospect that the assessment of other property in the state wil' be increased some millions of dollars this year, as it should be, I believe that the board would bave been justified in Increasing the rail- road assessment st least $1,700,000 and so expressed myself at the board meeting and 1 still think that when the returns are all in they will prove the justness of my pos tion. In the face of the fact that our state indebtedness is now about twenty times our comstitutional limit and still incres ing, even with economical administration it is very evident that there is something radically wromg and that some classes or all are mot paying state tax enough. The mandamus sult is all right, as it will most likely settle a much disputed question. I did not at the time of the meeting of the board and do not now belleve that the statutes of Nebraska provide any way for ascertalning the value tranchises. 1 am in favor of taxing franchises the same as any other property of value, but the question is, how is the board to find out the value of them? Our first answer stated the fact that we did not assess the rallroad franchises and we asked the court to place a construction | upon the constitution and laws and lay | down a reasonable rule for following them. I belleve the board did ite duty as far as the franchises are concerned, as far as it understood the laws and as far as the laws ' Value of the Rallroa “According to the latest reports on file the railroads of Nebraska are worth $253,- 000,000, whieh, I understand, includes the value of the franchises. My understand- Ing of a franchise is this: Suppose a cer- tain railroad company bas a line 100 miles long, and that it would require $2,000,000 to duplicate it. Now, supposing that roal bas issued bonds to the amount of $1,750, 000 and stock to the amount of $1,600,000 more, and that the stocks and bonds are selling on the market at par. That rai]- road is worth $3,250,000, yet it could be The addi- | tional $1,250,000 is the value of the fran- | mon carrier, chise, an Intangible something, but never- theless a valuable something because peo- ple will pay their money for it. It is the railroad’s right to do business as a com- to occupy a certain narrow strip of1and for the railroad right-of-way. Of course, this franchise is not worth anything unless thesroad s making money, but whenever you find a road paying inter- est on its bonds and declaring a dividend of about 4 per cent a year you can depend on it that it is not losing mone; The governor concludes his statement with the following: “As governor I have tried earnestly and conscientiously to do y duty. 1 have kept close watch on the arious matters which come under my su- pervision and I believe there was never a time in the history of the state when the institutions were better managed and at 80 little cost as at present. In a few in- stances I have been harshly criticised for doing what in my judgment I considered just and right and time will perhaps briag & kindlier comstruction on this phase of my administration, feeling that no matter what others may say, my conscience is clear.” Reward for Murderer. Governor Savage this afternoon issued a proclamation offering a reward of $200 for the arrest of the murder of 15-year-old Waltermer Harbold. The boy was killed on the morning of Jume 12 while passing along the road just south of Grand Island. He resided in Campbell. Acwgg under Instructions from the board of directors of the Union Cgmmercial club, Judge Tibbets today prepared and filed with the council, sitting as a boardof equaliza- tion, complaints against the assessed val- uations of $300,000 against the Lincoln Traction company and the Lincoln G Electric company. One was also filed against the Nebraska Telephone company, assessed at $100,000. His instructions were to look into the matter and make such complaint desirable and proper. Sixty teachers from various parts of the state have been enrolled for the summer school to be held at the State university.

Tomorrow and Monday more teachers are expected and a spirited rush in registrafion is anticipated at the beginning of the week. Prof. George A.

It was evident the small gathering of democrats was & side show compared with the populist gathering. A portion of the precincts were not repre- sexited and but few bad a full representa- | tion. The populists appointed & committee to confer with the democrats and after the committees on resolutions and creden- tials reported, delegates were elected to attend the state, congressional, senatorial and representative conventions. The dele- gates go uninstructed, but it is understood the congressienal delegates are in favor of returning Shallenberger. John Powers, & former candidate for governor, is men- tioned for representative. The resolutions | denounced the present administration, re- announced their party allegiafice and adopted the platform lald down at'the Sioux Falls, 8 D., convention. The conference committee reported a nominee must be- lieve in the principles of the democratic and populist parties. After some wrang- ling and changing the word * to “or," the prescription was taken. C. W. Shurt- left of Stratton was the unanimous choice for county attorney. Shurtlefl was formerly county judge of this county for two terms. J. N. Balding of Trenton was the cholce for commissioper. Just before adjourn- ment some of the democrats brought in a kick that unless a nominee was standing on their platform he would Dot be sup- ported. After some speeches the protest was thrown out and not acted upom.
