candidates for state treasurer, pat in their
appearance aud will dwell in Lincoln until
after the state convention. These gentle
men are possibly going on the theory that
the early bird catches the worm. 1t is evil
dent that they intend to attempt the capture
of all Struggling votes, and TO make such
combinations as will enhance their chances
as the battle progresses. Speculation IS rife,
but these politicians arc too wary TO give
their intended moves on the political checker
board to the public. They are on a still hunt.
Large delegations are expected in on the
night trains, and the picket line Will be eX-
tended to every quarter that gives any assur-
ance of capturing a prisoner or killing avote.
1t will doubtless be red hot here to morrow.
There is considerable talk that Leese
will be rcnominatcd attorney general
by reclamation. But his best friends think
that this is doubtful, but they entertain no
doubt Of his ultilnat success. Einsel and
Yost Will play the skin game. That they are
ready for any collision that will down Ora
ham or Hill, no one entertains the rcmotest
doubt not a party to railroad schemes. And
they do not seek to conceal this fact in any
way. Some plays are apparent even now. 1t
is rumored that BARLEY, OF Holt, Will be on
the ground early tomorrow with a brass
band and a following in badge and regalia
that will swear by him until the end OF the
battle. This is said to be a scheme to knock
Graham out, or to divide the North Platte
boys on him as much as possible. Sutherland
says he is playing second fiddle to no music,
and is in the race to win the plum on merit.
But in the rotunda of the Capital or on
the streets, you find a Jolly crowd
and in universal good spirits.
In some respects it seems
that the political "bosses' of the state are
here and congregating simply to review q
body of men on dress parade, and not to par
ticipate in what every indication points to
the greatest and most exciting political con
test ever held in the state. The prominent
politicians will all be quartered at the Capital
lnt,l md tho tpngip will cOmmpnra tO-mpr-
row in earnest.
AN OPEN LETTER.
Under date Of August 20 the Hon. e. E
Brown has this to say:
/ see by a whereas preceding q resolu.
tion purporting to have been passed at the
recent county convention, held in Nemalia
county, it was stated that lone E. E. Brown
has in some manner unknown to this con-
vention secured the delegation from Ian.
caster county to the congressional
convention of the First district"
The name of the late republican nominee for
congressional honors heads both the state
and congressional delegations, and it clearly
appears that for all practical purposes he was
the convention. His manner of securing del
e~gations is so notorious that TO those &C
q~uainted with his history 1T is unnecessary to
speak. Knowlng him as / do j can truly say
that am not surprised to learn that to get
a delegation without the use of money or the
distribution of railroad passes, or the prom
Use of other railroad favors, is to secure one
in a manner entirely unknown to him.
