BATTERY A HAS HOT FICHT Renewal of Oontest Over Whe is te Be Oap- tain of the Organisation. GUARDSMEN TO CELEBRATE THE FOULIH Limcoln Fusionista Have a Fa Alarm Over the Nomination of Price and Prepare to Re- ceive Him, (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 26.—~(Special.)—Ad- jutant General Colby has determined to again try his haud at a settlement of the trouble in the Wymore battery and he has tssued an order calling for an election of officers of the organization, which is offi- clally known as Battery A, Nebraska Na- tional guard, There was a similar order fssued on December 2 last, authorizing an election on December 14. At that time Captain O. M. Murdock w candidate for eaptain and there was so much feeling stirred up over his campaign that citizens of Wymore took sides and for a couple of weeks it was as warm as a fierce political battle. Neither Murdock mor his enemies won decisively, and First Lieutenant Alfred McKinney took command of the battery and, his commission having expired, Cap- tain Murdock became a private, which posi- tion he now occuples. The present order calls for an election on July 5 and as the late Captain Mur- dock 18 again a candidats and the oppos tion to him is as strong as ever, a lively fracus s anticipated. The battery will probably do more fighting over a com- mander than It will ever be called upon to do In defense of the commonwealth of Ne- braska. The order names a canvassing board to consist of Lieutenant Alfred MeKinney, Lieutenant Arthur A. Murdock and As- sistant Burgeon S. E. Yoder. At least two Nebraska towns will have the military to assiet the screaming eagle on the Fourth of July. Adjutant General Colby has given permission to Company E, Becond regiment, to go to Herman, while the Stanton Rifies are to go to Norfolk. The adjutant general has approved the election of Oliver G. Osborne first lleu- tenant of Company G, Second regiment, stationed at Omaba. Celebration Which Flashe During the afterncon it was reported about town that W. B. Price of Lincoln had been named by the fusionists for auditor. Immediately extensive preparations were made to recelve Price when he should re- turn from Grand Island. It was planned to g0 to the Burlington depot and inaugurate a parade that would have been unique, if not positively unlawful. A number of band Instruments were secured and. an equal number of people who could not perform on the same volunteered; & large banner with the words, ‘“We Have the Price,” was duly prepared, and other detalls were arranged, but the false alarm was righted before any parading was done. If Price had known of the nefarious plot he would have been glad he wasn't nominated.

EXCITEMENT MAY PROVE FATAL Delegate Returnin, from Po vention Taken Sick om the Train, AURORA, Neb., June 25.—(Special Tele- gram.)—F. Shipton of Geneva, a delegate from Fillmere county to the populist state convention, was stricken by congestion of the brain while riding homeward from 'Grand Island on a Burlington train tonight. At Aurora he was removed from the train in an ineensible cohdition. He was stricken just after the train left Phillips, about ten miles west of Aurora. Dr. Hay of Aurora was called and, after hasty examination, pronounced the man's condition serious, but not Immedftely alarming. C. Smrha and H. P. Wilson, members of the Filimore delegation, were with Mr. Shipton on the train and remained with him at Aurora. The physician says the attack was a di- rect outgrowth of the severe strain the man had been under at the conventlon. Shipton was formely county judge of Fillmore county. In 1899 he figured prom- inently in contempt proceedings before the Nebraska legislature, being cited for con- tempt for refusing to obey an order of the house in the Fillmore county contest.

KILLING CLIMAX OF FEU ~ Man Who Oommits the Murder Shoots Him- self, Probabjy Fatally, TROUBLE HAD BEEN EXPECTED LONG TIME Dead Man and His Slayer Meet on the street at Sew nd Shoot- ing Commences Without SEWARD, Neb., June 25 gram.)—One man dead and another dying 18 the result of an old quarrel. This even- ing at 6:45 as John Hand was coming up- town from pper he was met on the street near Callender's coal office by Alec Lange, who, drawing a revolver, shot Hand, kill- ing him almost instantly. The ball entered Just back of the right ear. Lapge then went to his home, about a block south, and, entering thé stable, shot himself twice, once behind the right ear and once through the stomach, and although he 1s still alive and able to talk, thero s no chance of his recovery. The tragedy was not a great surprise to the people here who are familiar with the circumstances and something of the kind has been expected for about two years. About two years ago, when both men were in the grotery business, Hand's name was mentioned quite frequently with that of Mrs. Lange, and about a year ago Lange attacked Hand with a club, but at that time the two men were separpted. The trouble was brought to a climax a few days ago, when Hand brovght an action in justice court to obtaln a judgment agalnst Lange for monmey claimed to have been furnished Mrs. Lange during the last year, and the case was set for trial to- morrow morning. FUSION AFTER FIGHT (Continued from First Page.) of the ticket, and have we not tood loyally by you?” “I did,” replled Harrl tions Were then different.’” ““Conditions are now different,” came the retore. “You agreed to be our candidate and we acted in good faith in insisting on your nomination, yet ydu, without consult- ing us or asking for a release from your pledge, nave conspired with the democrats and withdrawn your name. You bave not acted fairly by us.” Ready to Name Bry m, “but condi- The moment had now arrived, with the first rays of the morning peeping in at the windows, for Senator Allen’s promised coup for Mr. Bryan. It had evidently been care- fully planned. The fire was kindled by ex- Secretary of State Porter and fanned by Senator Allen and others who had been ad- mitted Into his counsel. Allen referred to Bryan as “the one democrat’” who comes so near belng a popullst that all popullsts, as well as democrats, can unite on him. The arguments used for weeks In Senator Al- len's paper were repeated and soon there wae a raging conflagration. Forgetting all that had been sald about the neceesity for & populist at the head of the ticket, Bryan ‘was halled as a paviour with grand acclaim and a committee was hurried off to the democrats to announce his nomination for governor by the populists, which was to prove the jimmediate and happy eolution. It was now nearly § a. m. Bryan Refuses the Proffer. ~ Instead of proving the solution the nom- ination of Bryan gave occasion for the ani- mated speech of Bryan, in which he sald once and for all time that he would not be & candidate for any office, but would devote himself to upholding the principles to which he was committed against the re- organizers of his own party. The scene and speech will bé memorable to all who wit- nessed it. All talk of Bryan immediately stopped. But the nomination of Bryan by the populists had alrgady proved thelr own undoing so far their resistance to the democrats was concerned. Having agreed to take Bryan, a democrat, to head the ticket they could mot oppose successtully the selection 6f some other democrat. In vain they tried to retrace the fatal step. The democrats had with quick recovery centered their votes on W. H. Thompson, and most wonderful of all, Harrington, who only a few hours before had been the hero of the popullst party, came back to retract what he had said about the nec ty of preserving the integrity of the party by nominating & populist for governor and to plead for the acceptance of Thompson, a H. Thompson as a personal concession to | him (Bryan) and as {n & measure part pay- ment for the efforts he had exerted In be- half of populist candidates in the past. Accept the Thompson Dose. All the barriers had now been broken down. The obstacle to yieldfog first place to a democrat had been removed when the nomination had been tendered to Bryan The most avallable populist material had falled when Harrington fell down so la- mentably. The delegates were tired and sleepy and hungry. More than a third of them had left the hall and the roll call, in which counties with from four to twenty votes were voted by a single delegate, gavé Thompeon 939 out of a nominal 1,104. The motion to make it' unanimous encountered plenty of lusty noes. Mr. Thompson was waiting to make his acknowledgemen “Stracge as it may seem,” he sald, “‘the nominations which I have sought the con- ventions have refused to give me, while the nominations I have nof sought have been given to me by almost dnanimous con- sent.” Professing hie bellef In populist princi- ples, although a democrat, he sald with reference to the two platforms, “no one would know which was which uniess the letters were written across the top of it.” Winding Up the Work. “It's a sorry day for populists,” sald one of the dejected leaders as he filed out of the hall without looking for the further business of the convention. The rest was easy. The conference committees recon- vened, agreed to divide the unfilled places according to the proposition previously made, but slightly modified, so that the populista got five of the minor nomina- tions and thg democrats but two besides the governor. That the fusfonists realize thelr desperate situation in the impending campalgn was forcibly shown at nearly every turn. Har- rington promised publicly to put in sixty days on the stump to explain the beauties of popullsm to the people and Bryan an- nounced that without regard to calls for lectures, banquet speeches or journalistic embassies, he would be at the command of the joint campaign committee from now until election. they could to take care of the conventions and the attending delegates and deserve credit for their good Intentions. It was not thelr fault that the factlities at thelr command were so inadequate. ‘No state convention ought to be held in Nebr: outside of Omaha or Lincoln,” was heard from hundreds of mouths, and if the lesson | of the Grand Island meeting is learned the mistake of locating a big party convention in ome of the interlor towns will not be soon repeated. Democrats Thoroughly Aroused. The stormiest perlod in the democratic convention ‘was between 4 and 5:30 this morning. The delegates had been tediously balloting and waiting for over eight hours, not including the afternoon session of yes- terday. Ballot after ballot had been taken, with C. J. Smyth always in the majority, but with precision each successive nomiua- tion had been rejected by the populists. At 3:30 a recess was taken and when the delegates reassembled fifteen minutes later many of them were in a condition border- ing on the hysterical. During the Intermission W. J. Bryan, C. J. Smyth, P. L. Hall, W. H. Thompson, Judge Duffe and several party leaders got together on the stage and held an ani- mated consultation, in which the situation was thoroughly canvassed and an effort made to determine upon some plan which would be acceptable to the “friendly al- Mes.” It was conceded that Smyth's prospects for a fusion nomination were fading. Every message or intimation from the allies’ camp was of a deflant, independent nature, and it seemed more than ever certaln that no democrat would be given the popu- list endorsement. While this conference was going on the delegates started up the appropriate “We Won't Go Home Till Morning,” and followed it with other fa- millar songs, the entire assemblage joining. Bryan and Smyth left the hall and con- tinued their conference In an ante-room in the rear of the buflding. Chalrman Hall of the state committee, who had relleved Travis as presiding officer, rapped for or- der at 4 o'clock. Instantly there was a changed expression on the countenances of the delegates. All seemed affected alike. A moment before they had been singing good-naturedly; now they were serious and determined, some one way, some another, but all intent upon accomplishing some- thing. Wouldn't Hear Roll Call. “The secretary will call the roll for an- other ballot for governor,” announced Mr. democrat. 3 . Destruction for Populists. The reaction was sudden and startling. In a scathing speech Judge Hpmer M. Sul- livan of Custer county declared that all hope of success had already been relin- quished. “To nominate a democrat at the head of our ticket,” he exclaimed, “m the destruction of our party. It means d feat at the polly, and if 1 am to go down to~certain defeat I would rather go down with my flag fiying, fighting for popullst principles behind a ticket made up of pop- ulists, than to go down behind a democrat forced on us by outside Influences. I want to say that mo democratic candidate for governor can poll within 25 per cent of the populist vote. That was seen out in my country last year when we submitted to Hollenbeck as the nominee for supreme judge. We have in Custer county 2,200 pop- ulist voters, but Hollenbeck fell short 700 of polling thelr full strength, and I say that just.as sure as we agree to a demo- crat at the head of the ticket this year we will not poll 1,200 votes in Custer county.” He went on further to protest against the sacrifice of the populist or- ganlzation for the purpose of stemming for Bryan the rising tide of the reorganizers in the democratic party. “If you have read the reports,” he added, “not a single democratic convention in any state it of the Mississippl this year re- asserted devotion tdé Bryan. Some of you talk of Bryan for president again in 1904, but I want to tell you that there is ne ces tginty that'Bryans friends will be in the majority two years hence. | want to pre- serve the popullst party so that he can come to it rather than to destroy the party tbat Bryan may use its prestige in his own Deficiency for cor. period 1901.....3.11 lackes Deficiency for cor. period 1%0.... 3,34 inches Heport tias mt T P, M. 1 party, on which he is losing his grip. e Brysn to the The volatile eharacter of the convention was' {llustrated by the’ vigorous applause Breach. Hall, but there came a vigorous storm of protest. Smyth was urged for another unanimous nomination and the names of Vifquain and Thompson were presented for similar endorsement. A discussion ensued, in which other questions came up for discussion and for the time being no fur- ther effort was made to unadimously nom- inate any candidate. Numerous motions providing ultimatums of one kind and an- other to be sent to the populists were of- fered and at Intervals the convention pre- sented & scene of wild confusion and ex- citement! In all parts of the hall men arose to plead for the nomination of an independent or stralght democratic ticket. The sentiment seemed to be growing and spreading in this direction. Each declar: tion favoring the nomimation of an inde- pendent ticket brought forth applause. While the discussion wae at/its height Bryan and Smyth Te-entered the hall and advanced to the stage. A consultation was held with the chairman and then Smyth was introduced. He spoke for fifteen min- utes, thanking the delegates for their loyal support, but assuring them that he did not wieh longer to remain in the way of a nomination. “I am confident Bryan is the only dem crat on whom the populists would agree, remarked the speaker. P ‘We don't want Bryan against his wishes,” shouted several delegates, and Smyth proceeded, copeluding his address by aying that he wos willing to withdraw it convention w14 indicate a wish in this direction. W. H. Thompson got the floor and made an emphatic appeal for fusion, urging that further efforts be made in behalf of Smyth or Vifquain and that in the event of a tallure a populist be endorsed. During all the discussion Bryan occupled The people of Grand Island did the best' prominent place 6n the stage and listened intently to all that was said. Thompsop was interrupted in his speak- ing by the information that Bryan had been nominated by the popullsts. He relin quished the floor immediately and Bryan, though not a delegate, was recognized In part Mr. Bryan said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the convention: I have been interested in some of the things I have seen and heard in this convention. I think I have labored long enough to con- vince you of my willingness to advance the cause which I have been so long promoting. 1 think I can do some good toward the ad- vancement of the principles we have been fighting for, without holding office, and 1 have told the people of the two parties who have been talking to me about this, and 1 repeat now that the work you propose Is not the best work I am fitted for. For twelve years I have had the united sup- port n! the democrats of Nebraska and in rpnigm\ the united support of the popullu 1 am sure there is no reason why any demograt mentioned here in con- nection with this office should not have the same support that has been offered me.” Rebnkes the Bolters. Mr. Bryan spoke of the qualifications of each of the three democratic candidates, C. J. Smyth, General Vifquain and W. H. Thompson, and continued: ‘“There is no Feason why any of these men should not be acceptable to the populists. But I have heard opinions expressed here in this con- vention that surprised me; opinions re- garding our friends, the popull And there have been harsh words spoken about them. I want to say that there are men here who voted for McKinley in 1896 and 1900. Let them not say anything against the popullsts. Let not these men drive the populists away from us and the party back into the slough of despond. “My friends, it seems to me that some of you have not comsidered the serfous side of this question. Do you kmow what it means? It-means that if we follow some of the advice that has been offered here that we will turn the state over to the rail- roads and the taxation into the hands of the corporations. I belleve great Issues are at stake. The party will have to de- clde the great issue of democracy or plu- tocracy, and we find the populists on the side of democracy. 1 belleve the populists have asked for more offices than they are entitled to, but we should remember that all the offices we have had in this state in recent years they helped us get. You are here representing the democracy of this ate, the democracy that has taken up this fight. I want you to hesitate before you turn your back on our allies and sur- render to the railroads. Wants to Stay in National Polities. “I cannot be a candidate for governor, because I belleve it would lgssen my ability to do that which I wish to do. I don't want to give my time to dividing officés in the governor's chair and attending to the de- tall dutles of governor. I want to stay in national politics, where I can accomplish more than in the office for which I have been suggested.” At the conclusion of Bryan's speech all pending motions wete tabled. Another one was offered, and recelved with some shouts of favor, providing for an acceptance of the populists’ proposition, by which that party was to take the governor, leaving the democrats to select two of the other offices of first importance, the rest to be divided alternately between the two parties. Sentiment now seemed drifting in the other direction. Benton Maret, who had up to this time stood strongly in favor of the nomination of a democrat for governor, offered an amendment providing for ac- ceptance of the terms only' on condition that Harrington be named for governor. The motion, however, was lost by & close vote. Slide Starts to Thompson, The secretary \started to call the roll again. After 'a few counties had voted Harrington gained recognition and permis- slon to speak. He reiterated that he was not a candidate and, referring to Thomp- son, sald: “If you can't do anything else, nominate ‘him and I'll try and shove it through the populist convention." This declaration met with an outburst of applaus®. Hats went into the air and cheer after cheer were given. After quiet was restored the calling of the roll was re- sumed. Thompson received a big majority. Douglas remained faithful to Smyth, but Lancaster went to Thompson. The noml- nation was made unanimous and Thompson was carried on the shoulders of admirers to the stage. He spoke briefly, giving thanks for tho action of esteem and con- fidence. At 5:45 a recess for ten minutes was taken and the democrats hastened to the populist convention to see Harrington “shove it through.” The ‘‘ten-minute” recess erminated at 10 o'clock. After the convention was called to order agaln several more ballots were taken, all resulting in favor of Thompson. Startled by False Alarm. At 9:50 a hurricane of excitement swept over the kall and was followed by a calm of distressing stillness. It was caused by the annountement that Thompson had been nominated by the populists. M. F. Har- rington started the report. He came over from the populist hall on the run, told everal people at the entrance of the news and rushed hastily into the democratic eon- vention hall. The cheers from the street, mingled with cries, ““Thompson has been nominated!” bad been heard in the mean- time and were taken up and re-echoed by the democrats. As Harrington appeared at the 'door he was lifted from the floor by several demo- crats and carried on their shoulders to the platform.
