MERCER MAY SOLVE MYSTERY| , Beorecy Ooncerning Convention Which He Alone Oan Unravel. SOME METHODS THAT MAY BE PURSUED \kne-- Parsned in the Past and Con- ditions that Prevail at Present in the Secomd Congress sional Distriet. . The promised return of Congressman Mercer next week (o raise the interdict }nm has been holding back the call for & congressional convention In this distriet stimulated anew Inquiries as to the probable procedure In the selection of a republican candidate for congress The republicans in five of the six dis- fricts of Nebraska have already made thelr jominations, in each case according to the hobfluved custom of a general eall for a convention in which delegates are apportioned to the respective counties and . chosen by regularly called county conven- tions. Tn each of these distriots the dele- gates were named at the same time as the delegates to the late republican state con- vention and the apportionment made on a zphn similar to that rdopted by the state | committee, namely, of giving each county representation according to the vote cast {for the republican nominee at the last congressional election It 18 noteworthy that in this, the Second | district, Mr. Mercer's managers, who are in undisputed control of the party machine, because the congressional committee and /its officers were all named by Mr. Mercer himselt, have not for a moment discussed s convention called in the usual manner. Their misgiving of the result of such a convention has driven them to thelr wits' ends to devise a new scheme by which they might gain some advantage in the situation that would not accrue to them if ?they followed the regular precedents. ‘What May Be Done, Talk about a congressional convention to which the delegates sbould be chosen {directly by the voters in the different “wards and precincts throughout the three \counties comprising the congressional dis- trict recalls the fact that two years ago in their similar desperation a device was i formulated in the call issued by Chairman Blackburn, although rescinded later on a surance that opposition to Mr. Mercer's )renomination for a fifth term had been jchoked off. If Mr. Mercer should repeat his performance of two years ago he will ‘\lfl Mr. Blackburn convene himself as a 'congressional committee and vote himself ‘\(Irn or four times by proxy for the old ieall, which embodied the following fea- Mures: 2 1 It provided for a primary election held Miirectly under the congressional commit- \tee In the three ocounties of Washington, ,Douglas and Barpy. The congressional com. imittee, which was Mr. Blackburn, consti- {tuted itself the authority to appoint all dhe judges and clerks of election, to re- icelve the returns, to canvass the vote and /to 1ssue the credentials to the delegates. 3. The primary ballots were to contain ythe names not only of candidates for dele- tes to the convention, but also of a irants for congress. The petitions for egates were to be prepared in the usual yway and filed upon;payment of a fee of $1 jfor each name to the treasurer of the com- ymittes, who was also Mr. Blackburn. A ;"Il‘ ts for congress could ba their jnames placed on the official ballot on pe- {titlon signed by 250 republican electors and nt of a flling fee of $150 into the ‘hands of Mr. Blackburn. Apportionment of Delegates. 8. The apportionment of delegates to the convention was fixed as follows: For each ward {n the city of Omaha, Iten delegates. * For the city of South Omaha, sixteen .delegates. For each country precinct in Douglas ‘county, two delegates. . For Barpy county, elght delegat For Washington county, seventeen dele- JEates. + Making a total of 157 delegates, with seventy-nine constituting the majority | Becessary to nominat, An alternativé method of choosing thetr delegates was allowed to Washington and Barpy countles, although denled to Douglas county. Washington and_ Sarpy countles could choose delegates by convention, or by any other method adopted by thelr re- 'spective county committees—a discrimina- lon in favor of héme rule for Washington Sarpy counties and agalnst Douglas county, explained by the fact that at that time the county committee fn Douglas county was suspected of hostility to Mr. Mercer, while his friends controlled the county committees in Washington and rpy countles. 6. The returns from the primary were to be canvassed by the executive committee of the congregsional committee, which was Mr. Blackburn, and In case the expressions of preference for congress showed one candidate to have received a bomplete ma- fority of the vote, that fact was to be certified to the congressional convention, which, “after its permanent organization, should declare the nomination of candi- dates recelving & majority at the primary elections, and by formal resolution direct I Love is unequall oked, win o 4 but love unuz pain or relieve it. Many a man looks on at his wife's suffering will to do suything to aid her and able to do the chairman and secretary to provide the necessary service and credentials, as re- quired by law and precedent’’ Only in case Mr., Blackburn neglected to certity a majority for his candidate for congress was the convention empowered to choose a candidate for ftself. Conditions Now Pertaining. It Mr. Mercer and his committes felt bound by his self-promulgated scheme of two years ago he would, of course, have to recognize the delegates already selected by Washington and Sarpy counties, of which Sarpy county's quota are instructed for Mr. Cornish and against Mr. Mercer. The discovery that he had lost out in Sarpy county 1s, however, sald to have convinced Mr. Mercer that the action of the Sarpy and Washington county conventions in ad- vance of a congressional call is illegal and, therefore, to uphold that contention the old call will have to be modified, at least to that extent The congressional committee, as Ap< pointed by Mr. Mercer two years ago, con- sisted of nine members, as follows: T. W. Blackburn of Omaha, chairman; John L. Carson of South Omal Lew F. Etter, son of the South Omaha postmaster; George Sabine of Omaha, who holds a po- sition through Mr. Mercer in the congres- slonal library at Washington; D. H. Kirschner, the postmaster at Bennington; West Cook, the postmaster at Blal Wilson, county judge at Papiliion; C. B. Keyes ot Sarpy county and Fred Claridgoe of Blair. One or two of these places have become vacant by removal or resignation and Mr. Blackburn has taken it upon him- selt to fill the vacancies by appointment, but just who his appointees are will prob- ably be dlsclosed only when the committee meets, or when their proxies turn up out of Mr, Blackburn's pocket. Until that time, however, the conditions of the congressional contest in this district cannot be definitely known. MULLEN AT HIS NEW POST Arrives at Juneau and Talks of the Agricultural Resources of Alnska. The Daily Record-Miner of Juneau, Alaska, of June 20, notes the arrival in that city of P. M.

MESSENGER BOYS’ SICKNESS Epidemic Comes Without Advance Notice Every Fourth of July. ‘The evening of the Fourth found the man- ager of one of the local messenger compan- jes in a cold eweat and a high temper. Eight of his boys had not been near the ofice dur- ing the day. The Fourth {s a very busy day with the messenger companies, because during the afternoon a great many people order ice cream brought to their houses and in the parched evening & great many other peo; order something else brought out. on the rush came the manager found himself short-handed, for at various previous hours he had recelved word from eight of the lit- tle rough riders that they had been at- tacked by sudden f{ilness in various forms and were totally incapacitated.

One of the largest crowds in its history ‘was entertained at the Omaha Field club on the Fourth. All day there was some- Jhing doing, tennis, golf and bowling, and at night the holiday was concluded with the largest dance the club has yet given. Athletic interest centered chiefly in the golf links, where a three-cornered tourna- ment was in progress. There were twen- ty-elght entries In the first place, and they were first sent over eighteen holes at medal play in a qualifying round. The highest elght scores were then picked to play the first flight, the prize being a cup. In the first round for this, elght Sum- ney defeated Gllbert four up, Morrill de- feated Scott one up, Murphy defeated St. Clatr one up and Robb and Sherraden have not yet played off. The second elght best scores were the second fiight, and played their first round for a golf club prize as follows: Reynolds beat Rooney one up, Talmage beat Doane four up, Spencer beat Meire one up and McNaughton and Palmatier have not yet played. The third fiight, or third best elght scorea ofit of the twenty-elght, developed a bye for Prince, and Yost and Francis have not yet played. All the following rounds will be played off this afternoon. The first rounds were all over nine holes only, match play. At lawn tennis Pollard defeated Hill in the semi-finals of the second handicap tournament, and this leaves Pollard and Collett to play off in the finals for the victory this afternoon.

The beach, lake and adjacent grove were thronged. The Thurston Rifies, who had camped in the grove the night before, opened the day with & drill, and before they had finished pienic, parties began to arrive and select locations. The new imported merry-go< round was a center of attraction for the younger element, which turned out in great numbers. Later in the day the Thurston Rifles gave an exhibition drill, followed by a sham battle. Nordin's orchestra of twelve pleces gave a program of popular and patriotic irs and the Aherns appeared in two per- formances. The day was closed with a spectacular exbibition of the great naval battle between Monitor and Merrimac, fol- lowed by fireworks. Manager Griffiths re- ported the day a great financial success.

Enjoyable Time, Despite Late Tral: and Wet Grow The only excursion of any pretention that Jeft Omaba yesterday was that of branch No. 5, National Association of Letter Car- , which went to Waterloo for tendance at 800, but accurate figures can- not be given until the tickets are checked up. It was the thirteenth annual junket of the carriers and they took pains to sustain their reputation as liberal providers, shipping a truckload of special delicacles to the plenie grounds. One of the trains was to have left Omaha at 9: m. and the other at 12:80 p. m. The first section, made up of four cabooses, & chair car and a coach, left at 10:53. The second section, which was really the same train returned from Waterloo for another trip, left at 2 p. m. Thus the first ple- nickers, except a few who went on a reg- ular train early in the morning, did not reach Waterloo until after noon and the second load until after 3 o'clock. From 7 until 11 o'clock in the forenoon raln fell and the grounds were damp for a while, but dried before the contests came off. H. W. Bivans and Henry Lehman were first and second in the 100-yard free-for- all, Edna Burt and Mrs. J. A. Metealf in the women's race, M. Coffey and Frank Fogarty in the letter carriers’ race, Loulsl- ana Camp and R. E. Ford in the running broad jump. The retall grocery clerks' nine of Omaha was defeated by Waterloo, 3 to 2, Stribling and Faga battery for Omaba and Troby and Campbell for Water- loo. \ The oration was by Nelson C. Pratt, who dwelt om patriotio problem: ‘Waterloo at 8:15 and reaching Omaha about 9:30. For the success of the picalc the car- riers give the credit to the genmeral ar- rangements committhe, which included A. P. Brady, J. A. Metealf, C. A. Inlow, Charles E. Newton, Willlam Maher, N. A.

Yesterday's press report telling of the resignstion of C. F. Ressigue from the posi- tion of general erintendent of the east- ern division of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe caused more than ordinary in- terest among local raflroad men. Mr. Res- s'gue was at ome time superintendent of the Nebraska division of the Union Pa- cific, with headquarters in Omaha. This was about twelve years ago and his incum- bency covered a period of a year or two. Before and after coming to Omaha Mr. Ressigue’s rallroad career was familiar to officials in this city. He still has many friends here, all of whom expressed sur- prise when they learned of his resigna- tion, which, according to his statement In yesterday's papers, ‘“‘was requested by General Manager Mudge'” of the Santa Fe. The :fact of Mr. Ressigue’'s excellence as a raliroad man serves to increase the sur- prise in this conneotion. Mr. Ressigue was with the Burlington at two different times. He was secretary to T. J. Potter in Chicago when the latter wi general manager of the Burlington system and was superintendent of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern, the St. Paul-Minne- apolis division of the Burlington. He has been with the Santa Fe for eight or ten years, B. W. Grove.
