THE CONTEST FAIRLY BEGUN.
Chairman Clarkson and other mem
bers Of the national Republican commit.
tee arrived this morning. Delegates
from all parts Of the country are on
their way, and will soon begin to arrive.
So far the Minneapolis people have
avoided showing any preference as to
candidates.
The confession the nomination is fairly
begun. Both the Blaine and Harrison
parties now have headquarters in active
operation. Nearly hundred politicians
of more or less prominence are in the
city, taking part in the csucussing.
Clarkson reiterates the statement that
Blaine will be nominated on the first
ballot, and will accept. He declares
that the statement that Harrison has
$40 votes is "bit of Indiana poetry" I"
He says Blaine will have 600 and Harri-
son half as many.
New, on the other hand, stands on the
ground that Blaine meant 1t when he
declined to run for the place. He an
nounces that Harrison will be placed in
nomination by Chauncey M. Depew,
and that Hon. r. NJ. Thompson of Indi-
ana, ex-secretary Of the navy, will Sec
ond the nomination.
CHICAGO. June 2.-Senators Cullom,
Quay, FELTON,, Sawyer and 6tockbridge
arrived here this afternoon. Cullom is
an enthusiastic Harrison man, and
thinks the president is sure of renom-
ination. He says his judgment is based
generally upon what is right in the
premises, the conclusion being that Har-
rison ought to be nominated. He is OF
the opinion that Blaine will not allow
his name to be used as candidate, and
1t is 30 generally understood in Wash
ington. He said he understood the ma
tional committee had selected Horace
Porter Of New York for temporary chair
man. He said he bad given no authori-
ty for the use Of his own name as per-
manent chairman, but would regard it
as . great honor to be the presiding
officer.
Senator Quay declined to express an
opinion on the political situation, saying
he would be heard in the convention
hall.

LINCOlN'S GERRyMANDER.

The Republican Legislature has passed
the bill to redistrict the town of Lincoln,
and it is one OF the most abominable
political measures ever adopted by any
State Legislature. 1t was driven through
the Senate and House without halt and
under the party lash of Ellery Wilson. So
hurriedly was this done that the people OF
Lincoln arc not yet fully aware OF the
outrage that has been perpetrated.
First of all, it is a political measure,
pure and simple, and was passed to aid
the Republicans in keeping their hold
upon the town. That the town should
be districted, no one disputes, but In
forming the districts at least little grain
Of fairness should have been exercised.
To show how indecently hasty the
Republicans were, it is but necessary to
quote the words OF last evenings Tele-
gram: "The bill came Gown from the SEN
ate, was referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee, reported at once and put upon its
passage. All was done under the lash OF
the party leader, Mr.. Ellery Wilson, who
applied the methods OF party leadership
he has become quite noted for. He re-
fused to consider anything whatever ex-
cept that the bill must be pushed through
at once. II was suggested that the bill
might be unconstitutional, but he did not
care for that; his present purpose was to
pass the / i'll and the question OF its con-
stitutionality could be considered after
the mischief had been done"
Without intimidation or gerrymander-
ing, Lincoln is safely Democratic. Proof
Of this is given by the tactics OF the Re-
publican Legislature One OF the prlnci-
pal objections to the present bill is that
while the Democrats now have the mod
orators and clerks in both districts, the
new bill gives the present acting Town
Council the appointment OF these officers,
which, OF course, means that the election
officers will all be Republicans.
The Saylesville district, which has less
than one hundred voters, could easily be
taken care OF by the Lonsdale district,
but no, the bill is framed to give the Re-
publcans control Of the machinery OF the
election in April in particular, and to
bring Democratic voters into the pocket
boroughs owned by Republican mill
owners.
n we do not mistake the temper OF the
people of Lincoln they will resent this
outrage.
