THE OMAHA D AILY BEE: RUNDAY UGUST 16, 190: POYNTER REPLIES TO BRYAN Thinks Demoorats Hava Forfeited Right to Lecture the Populists WOMAN’'S ATTORNEY |ILES PATHETICPLEA Lameaster County Men Assafl Law Which Makes County Surveyor Ex- Ofeclo County Engineer to (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 15.—Special)—The cur- rent issue of tne Nebraska Independent contains the following reply by ex-Gov- ernor Poynter to the deliverance of W. J Bryan on the recent popullst meeting in Denve: Last week's Commoner contains a lengthy article from the pen of its distinguished editor upon the Denver conference. There is no disposition on my part to review that article, but as a member of the committee which formulated the “manifesto” as M Bryan is pleased to call the addr out by the Denver conference, I permitted to say a few words. Im the first place the Denver conference had neither authority nor disposition to formulate a new platform for the populist party. nor to speak fur the party upon any of the new issues that may have arisen since its last Rational convention. The party has st no time been divided upon any of the principles announced in its platforms and the con- ference was cailed solely for the purpose of unifying the party upon matiers of na- tional political policy. Would not Mr. Hryan himselt be well pleased should. a conference of democrats Tepresenting both wings of his party meet and ugree to bury pust differences, and go forward u united patty upon the peincipl of the Kansas City platform? Doubtle he would even record no protest, should one condition of such agreement be that there should be no national fusion with either_the republican or populist party in 1904 democratic party with what the Denver conterence did for the populist party, Willing to Be Falr. It is true the populists were in favor of national_fusion both at the St. Louis and Sloux Falls conventions. They were fo much in earnest about it at Bioux Falls they 4id not even ask for representation upon the national ticket, but were content to meet the democrats upon a middle ground, nominating a democrat for the Presidency and a silver republican for vice president. The democrats refused to con- sider the matter of fusion at all, but nom! nated straight democratic ficket, and called upon populists to support it'as a fusion proposition. They generally did, so. t rotesting agains! 4 A 616 “Sas"a political sin. for the Denver conference to repudiate national fusion, the democrats are greater sinners because in both national conventions in which Mr. Bryan recelved the nomination the dis- approval of fusion made most_em- phatic by their refusal beept Tom Wat- Son for vice president in the first and the selection of a relict of the Cieveland ad- ministration in preference to Towne in the e as two kicks should at least be deomed sufficient hint to the populists that the democrats will not support national fusion. The Denver conference promulgated no new doctrinss, but left the matter of a list platform to the next national popu- fiat ‘convention. Not a single principle was sacrificed to bring about a union of the Aiscontented elements of the party. What policy populists shall adopt in matters of state politics is left entirely to their own Judgment in each state. This conference, com) as it was of representative popu- lists, had the right to declare for national independent political action in 1904, and with the present outlook it is pertectly safe to fof that the ‘rank and flie” of th 'y will endorse the action of the Denver conference. Makes Pathetic Plea. “Some twelve years ago our client while traveling by rail encountered a wreck. The wrecked train took fire and while rescuing herself and assisting in rescuing helpless children pinioned in the burning wreck she was maimed, disfigured and disabled for life. Her life was saved atter many weeks spent in & hospital. After her restoration the _ eorporation voluntarily paid her $,00 on of her injurtes and in mfifim ~$hrbr¢amwnnm ot ‘Others. Of the money thus veceived she ! saved $4,000 and loaned it on lot 1% block @ of the city of Lincoln, being the lot now in controversy. The money thus loaned comprises all her material wealth. If a court of equity can afford this un- fortunate girl no relief it ought to hide its face for very shame. The character of the fund, the helplessness of the client, coupled with the fact that her former ap- plication for rellef was denied because of & mistake in drafting her answer, will ex- plain our deep solicitude in the matter. Such is the somewhat remarkable and pathetic paragraph taken from & briet filed today in supreme court By counsel for Sarah Gruninger In a sult involving title to one of the lots on which stands the splendld city lbrary building donated to the city of Lincoln by Andrew Carnegle. The lot was formerly part of the residence property of A. C. Zeimer, formerly Bur- lington city ticket agent here, but now a Christian Science healer and lecturer. Miss Qruninger is a relative of Zeimer and for- merly at times made her heme in his fam- oy In 1896 Charles W. Oakes brought suit 10 foreclose a certificate of tax sale upon this lot, which is a corner lot. The amount of the lien claimed by reason of the al- Jeged certificate of tax sale and taxes paid in pursuance thereof is something over $400, being the taxes on the lot for two years Sarah Gruninger, who was & nonresident, was made & party to the sult; service of notice of the suit was by publication and .she claims never to have been cognizant of the proceedings. It was upon this lot that she had the mortgage for her $4.000 sbove alluded to. After Judgment had been Back from your vaca- tion, eh? And glad to be back in dear old Omaha? And with your wardrobe having got the worst of bard vacation wear? How handy this Sum- mer Price Slicing Sale is for you!

This is lfin te Lakeaide LB R This would be exactly in line for the | taken in May, 1900, she claims to have dis- covered the situation and immediately ap- plied to have the decree opened so that she might be allowed to plead. The court denled the application on the ground that the answer she filed tendered ng issue. No opportunity was given her to amend her answer and the only recourse she had was appeal, and the supreme court affirmed the finding of the lower court on the ground that the answer was insufficlent because the denial she made was alleged on in- formation and beilet. Miss Gruninger then renewed her appli- cation in the district court to have the judgment opened and to be let In to de- fend, accompanying the application with what she deemed to be & full answer. The library board, which had meantime pu chased by quit claim from Oukes, interposed the objection that the denial of the former application was a bar, and the district court so held. To reverse this holding an- other appeal is now being prosecuted. It is stated in the brief that the library board | bought a quit-claim deed to the lot for $1.000 from Oakes, while it pald $3,400_ for two other adjoining inside lots. The low price paid for the lot is explained by the fact that the city cancelled a large sum that stood against it in taxes. Engineer in the Way. Attorney General Prout has been re- quested by the county commissioners uf Lancaster county to bring suit In quo war- | ranto to test the right of County Surveyor | Bcott to act as county engineer under an | act passed at tbe last session of the leg- | inature. Lancaster has had & number of bridge scandais in past years, and last year the courts were asked to and did construe the | contract entered into by the commisioners with C. G. Sheely of Lincoln as fllegal. | In revenge Sheely and his friends defeated the commissioner who brought the action and elected a democrat. This new officer, together with Sheely's old friends on the board, combined in giving him the con- tract for this year. Mr. Scott, who fur- nished a part of the evidence upon which the court's decision of last year was based, together with the county attorney, assisted in getting through the legislature a bill constituting the surveyor the engineer of the county and providing that he should have the right to inspect all bridges. Scott has been acting under this law and has filed severa' reports charging that Sheely has not been buflding bridges according to contract, that he has used piling that was rotten at the heart, that he charged for material not used and that he had been using county lumber. Sheely admitted the latter and claimed that it was under an agreement with the county commissioners. The commissioners sald this was true, but there was nothing on the records to show that this had been done. Sheely has since paid over the sum found upon an account- ing to be due for the lumber used. The commissioners have refused to act on Scott’s other reports, claiming that the law he is acting under is unconstitutional, because on its face it shows that it was intended to apply only to Douglas and Lan- caster counties, declaring that it applied only to counties having more than 50,000 population according to the census of 1900. Sheely’s attorney has demanded of the county attorney that he begin proceedings to test the law, but before he had time to reply the commissioners, on the ground that Mr. Caldwell prefers to defend the law, bave asked the attorney general to act. Mr. Prout sald today that he would take no action until Mr. Caldwell returns, and rather Intimated that he thought the county had all the necessary machinery to use in the matter. Can Get No Redress. A general merchant at Haigler named Porter came to the city today to lodge complaint against the Burlington. The dapol“: Halgler burned some six months ag0 & box car has been utllized ever since. He says that his shipments of per- ‘skable freight must stay out in the sun and sre badly damaged. The gentleman ‘ntimated to some of the state officials that he had directed the at- tention of General Manager Holdrege to the situstion without substantial result and that he was now In town to see Mr. Calvert, who is absent and will not be home until Monday. To one of the representatives of the state he divulged a morsel of interesting infor- ‘mation in something of & penitent way. He sald that he was probably responsible for ihe fatal taking-off of the late board of transportation, for he had lcdged a com- plaint before it against the company which had resylted in his having secured better rates, and that the company immedistely thereafter got mad about it and had the board knocked out by the courts, New Imcorporations. The Loup Valley Agricultural soclety filed articles of incorporation with the sec- retary of state today. Its avowed purpose 18 to hold fairs at Ord. The capital stock is 5,00, and the incorporators are A. J. Fir- kins, J. A. Ollis, jr., J. C. Meese, N. J. Peterson, W. J. Hather. ‘The Farmers' Elevator company of Wau- #a also incorporated today. The authorized capltal stock is $30,00 and the men behind it are A. H. Banks, Claus Johnson, Joseph Hall, C. P. Johnson, L. Schmits, John A. B Carison, C. O. Johnson, C. B Lundgren and W. E. Anderson. Brooks Resigns. Adjutant General Culver sald today that the resignation of Captain Brooks of Fre- mont from the signal corps had been In his hands for some time. Lack of time is given as the captain's reason for with- drawing, although be expresses a desire to remain with the guard. Orders are going out to the companies of the guards directing them to return all of the Springfield rifies with which they have been equipped. These will be turned over to the government. The new Krags have been unioaded and are now In the basement of the capitol Equipments for each company will be issued as fast as the various companies are able to file their applications, accompanied by the 32,00 bond for safe keeping. This bond is required of the captains of the company, and an indisposition to give it has developed on the part of some of these officers. They have intimated rather \ poiutedly that rather than be personally | responsible they will resign their positions. A third of the guns still lie in the base- ment awaiting the adjustment of this mat- ter. Seeking & Rehearing. The Dixon National bank of Dixon, T, which has been trying for ten years to reach enough property of C. W. Mosher, president of the broken Capital National bank, to settle its claim of $5.000 originally borrowed from it by Mosher, filed a brief today asking for a rehearing of the recent division, which ve it but half what it desires. In this suit it is joined by the People’s National bank of Rock Island, another vietim. At s meeting this afterncon the state board of public lands and bulldings iet a contract to Joe Bums to run the standpipe At the soldiers’ home at Milford up ten feet higher for 340. It also let contracts to Paul Witsky of Beatrice to reset the bollers at the asylum for feeble minded children for $423 and make neoded repeirs upon, the smoke stack for $250. Burglars Rob a Store.
