n. t71Nus, Neb., Oct. 12.-[ Especial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Webster, Laws and
Harlan are here, They have established
their headquarters at the Bostwick and
posted their pickets. AS yet, however,
there is no shape to the preliminary contest,
and nothing definite can be ascertaned as to
the situation. But everybody anticipates
lively fight. Observing politicians predict
sharp turns and surprising outcome. Col.
onel Webster has developed unexpected
strength, and is the second, If not the first
choice Of the field. Local sports are posting
their money that Laws can't make it, An
even bet of $50 was made this
evening that Webster would poll
more votes on the third ballot than Laws.
1t is SAID that Hastings, McPheely, Jensen
and Baker will be on the ground in the
morning, and before the day closes it is
probable that fair estimate can be made
of the relative strength of each of the caudi-
dates.
Laws friends claim ninety-two votes for
him on the first ballot. The opposition con-
cede him seventy-five and confidently state
that he will never reach the minimum
claimed for him by his friends. Hastings
and Harlan will go into the convention with
the next most votes. Jensen, McPheely and
Baker are regarded as the lightning candi-
dates.
There is some talk tonight that Harlan
will go TO Laws on the temperance senti-
ment. Rumors are also current that Laws
recognizes the hopelessness of his canvass
and will go to Hastings. Laws is said to be
counseling his strikers to await the arrival
of Superintendent Campbell, of the Burling-
ton, before seeking their bed-fellows. An
effort will be made to establish an antl-Laws
caucus early Monday morning. and if it can
be accomplished the convention will prove
parrot affair. Otherwise the scenes of last
