THAYER AND BOYD.
The Republican Usurper Cannot
Hold Over.
THERE MUST BE AN ELECTION
Such Is the Opinion of the Best Legal Ability
of Nebraska The Republican Chairman
Throws Political Bombshell.

OMAHA, July Especial telegram TO
THE HERALD. "A veritable bomb was ex-
ploded in Nebraska state politics today by
the announcement of Hon. John {. Wat
son, chairman of the Republican central
committee, that General Thayer, who was
declared governor after the failure OF
James Z. Boyd TO qualify for the position,
could not hold over and that the committee
would shortly be called together for the
purpose of considering the nomination.
The chairman states that he is confident
Tbayer can not hold over and says that the
ablest lawyers in the state have taken
similar position. The matter has been sub
mitted to the attorney general.
This announcement peculiarly compli-
Gates matters in view of the fact that the
Republican supreme court rather intimated
in the decisions rendered in the quo war
ranto proceedings against Boyd that
Thayer would hold over until 1892. This
idea is in line, however, with the Alliance
and Democratic ideas, and it is now quite
certain that Nebraska will be disturbed by
q fierce political contest at the approaching
election.

French Opinion of the McKlnIsv BiII

PARIS, July %. An Associated Press
correspondent here has been making in
quiries of chambers of commerce in France
as to the present feeling concerning the
Mckinley tariff and as TO whether the feel
ing will affect the French exhibit at
Chicago. The vlce-p president Of tae cham
Der OF commerce OF Alglers said that the
chamber passed a resolution not long ago
declaring the new tariff law tended TO rem
der very difficult, if not impossible, all
trade between France and tee United
States.
The secretary of the chamber OF com
merce OF Rheims said: 'For the present
at least the Mckinley bill is an obstacle TO
the participation OF our manufacturers in
the Chicago exhibition, but if within a
reasonable length OF time friendlier spirit
IS SHOWN by the American epuolic for our
productions, the chamber will then be
ready to second the minister's efrortsn
The president of the chamber OF COM
merce OF Roabaix writes that the Mckinley
tariff has produced most unfortunate i'm
pressions and it is feared the Chicago ex-
hibition will not have the reception here 1t
would otherwise have had. Stetienne and
Marseiiles write to the same effect.
The president OF the Bordeaux chamber
says considering the unjust prohibition OF
American salt meats for years past they
are not surprised at the retaliatory Nc
kinley bill.

THE PEOPLES PARTY
They Insert Too Many Questions
in Their Platform.
That Is Stanford's Idea-He Has Made up his
Mind Not to be Candi-
date.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
ST. LOUIS, July 22.-Colonel Joseph h.
Hickey has received letter from Leland
Stanford in reply to one sent by the colonel.
The letter is dated Menlo Park, Cal, July L.
The Senator, among other things, says:
1T seems to me the Peoples party are
making a mistake in inserting SO many
questions in their platform. People may
agree upon one or two great issues and diff
fer upon others not so essential. In the
platform adopted at the recent Cincinnati
convention, the people might all agree upon
the money plank and entirely differ on the
railroad plank. The latter is a momentous
question. | can readily appreciate that the
consolidation of all the railroads Of the
country under one management would
render their operation less expensive. The
burden OF transportation ultimately falls
upon the producer and ii is plain that IL
the government could substitute, say, per
cent. bonds in exchange for the existing
bonded Indebtedness of the railroad con-
panies, the benefit TO patrons OF the road
would be the difference between per
cent and the per cent interest generally
borne by railroad bonds Then again, if
the government was content TO operate the
railroads without profit, the amount now
paid to stockholders in dividends would be
saved to the patrons OF the road.
80 far j believe government control Of
railroads has not been success any where.
Whatever might be the advantage Of gov
eminent ownership, great many people
would hesitate to favor it on account of the
vast political influence that might be ex-
erted through its means by an administra-
ton desiring to perpetuate itself in power.

an aAmerican Girl Who sarries
Title Instead Of a Man

Especial TO THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch /
subsequent marriage at Milwaukee of Miss
Alma Loeb, of Brooklyn, and Count Fer
dinand Franz Gebhart Sebereich Won Blu
cher has had an unhappy termination.
Miss Loeb is the daughter Of Phillip Loeb,
of Brooklyn. Another daughter married
some time ago Moritz Fichten berg, of Mil
waukee, where they reside. Miss Loco is
an attractive and accomplished sirl and IL
was a case OF love at first sight when Count
Won Butcher was introduced. Within two
weeks the count asked ner TO be his wife.
Miss Loeb's family did not object, but it
was understood the ceremony should not
take place till fall. Mr.. and Mrs. Loeb
were consequently very much surprised on
receiving telegram Monday stating their
daughter had been secretly married at
Milwaukee
The latest report is that Countess Won
Butcher, tue bride Of day, has since been
taken home by her relatives Friends of
the count had intimated that his fathers
anger would know no bounds on learning
of such an alliance with the proud name of
Butcher. Brother-in-law Eitchtenberg is
reported to have weighed the situation and
found that the elder Won Butcher would
disown his son ami cut OF his allowance OF
$3.50 a month. According to dispatch from
Milwaukee a stormy interview is said to
have taken place between the count and
Mrs. Fichtenberg. The bride, after con-
siderable argument, agreed to return to her
sisters home and prepare for trip to
Brooklyn. The count at this suggestion
threatened to obtain a writ of haoeas cor
pus.
This is not the first time q Brooklyn
girl has married a noblemsn. Miss Louiss
Corbin, daughter of ID. G.. Corbin and niece
of Austin Corbin, in 1855 became the wife
of Captain Robert Horace Walpole, heir Of
the fourth Earl of Oxford, and a descend
ant Of the late Robert Walpole, prime
minister OF England.

Cleveland viii Aid the Ohio Democrats.

PITTsBURG, July 22.-Govornor Campbell,
of Ohio. attended the annual Fete Cham
petre OF the Randall club at Silver Lake
to-day. Fully ten thousand people at
tended the fete, which was success in
every respect. In speaking of the political
outlook in Ohio, Governor Campbell said :
The Democrats of Ohio are thoroughly
aroused and we are going to win. The
Hamilton county dissatisfaction Is fast
dying out Yes i expect ex-President
Cleveland will lend a helping hand in Ohio
this time. He will be invited 10 make six
speeches. Governor Hill will also take q
hand in our campaign as will also Con-
gresham Jerry SIml son, of Kansas, and
Senator Pfeffer, who was elected to sue
coed Ingalls,. The two former gentlemen
will be invited 10 speak by the Democratic
party, while the two latter will be brought
into the state by the Farmers alliance.
The latter party is very strong with us
now and they are hand in hand with the
Democrats. They will nominate no ticket
this year. The farmers throughout gener-
ally favor free coinage.

PEACE In ST. PAUL
The Governor Prevented the
Hall-Fitzsimmons Fight.
MITCHELL BAFTERS UP SLAvIN
The Australian was Drunk - Governor
Buchanan Will Csnvene the Legislature
TO Consider the Convict Labor Troubles.

ST. PAUL, July 22-The Hall-Fitzsim-
mons fight will not take place tonight. In
view of the positive stand taken by Gov
ernor Merriam the management this after
noon formally decided TO postpone the fight
indefinitely, fearing a riot should an effort
be made to carry out the programme.
The declaration of the Minnesota Ath-
letic club that there would be no fight was
final so far as that CLUB is concerned, and
the many wild rumors to the contrary are
entirely unfounded. As stated by Presi-
dent COLES Of the club, there has been
great expense and there would be a direct
loss to them of ST., 900, but they submitted
to the legal authorities rather than precip
itate trouble, and would pay back the
money received for tickets. 1t is certain
the fight will not take place in this state,
but no one now knows whether it will
come OFF in another state. 1t is reported
the Wisconsin Central road has a train in
readiness to take the fighters and as many
OF their friends as can be brought together
over into Wisconsin, where the fight will
be had on the turf, but the report is not
confirmed.
AT late hour to- night Hall was playing
billiards at the hotel and enjoying life gen.
orally, apparently with no thought of any
impending conflict. Fitzsimmons was also
resting. Parson Davies, Halls hacker
and trainer, says they will remain here
until to- morrow TO give the club a chance
of saving the forfeit, but the chances were
that there would be no fight. This state
ment was practically reiterated by Frank
Shaw Clark, who backed Fitzsimmons, and
others. Mayor Smith, who emphatically
refused to prevent the fight, tonight says
the fight should take place and the gov
ernor had no right TO call out the militia
for q misdemeanor. The same view is
taken by Attorney McCafferty. who has
charge of the defense of Fitzsimmons and
his trainers before the municipal court
A martial air pervades the atmosphere

Colonel Bend, commanding. The colonel
laughingly remarked he would much rather
be somewhere else, but that his orders
were to guard the amphitheatre and allow

Governor Merriam late this evening
said: 1.-The fight will not be allowed to
take place in Ramsey county, and further

This is accepted by the management of
the club and has put quietus on the whole
affair.
