upon, and he is not willing to admit that the
action of the democratic state central com
mittee on Thursday evening Is opeu to that
construction. It grieves him, furthermore,
to have the situation thus presented TO the
people of the state.
He came up from the capital city Friday
evening to witness tie antics of Patti Rosa 10
the thespian palace that bears the gu uberna-
torial name, and between the acts he found
time TO express his views on the political
situation, both as connected with the action
of the committee and aside from it. He
said that he had not been barred out from
the committee meeting, and that on the CON
trary he had received several invitations
from the members of the committee to be
present and participate in their delibera-
tions. He would say, however, that no in
vitation had been extended TO him by Mr..
Martin. How he could have gotten into the
meeting without that invitation, in view OF
the order issued by Mr. Martin denying ad
mittance TO all except on invitation of the
committeeman from their district, the gov
ernor did not explain, He did say that 1t
was not his intention or desire to be present,
as he had another engagement and left the
hotel before the meeting of the committee
was called to order
ae could not agree with the published re-
port of the proceedings in another particu-
lar, as he was certain that So far from being
opposed to him and the plan of political pro-
cedure that he had mapped out, the commit
tee was "wid i'm" The whole plan as
being followed out by the committee and the
party generally throughout the state. he de-
clared to be exactly as laid out by him
months ago and along the line that he was
still working and along which he had ad-
vised the Jmmittee and all other democ rats
to work.
Harmonious Beyond Expression.
He said that he had been consulted by
nearly every member of the committee as to
the action that should be pursued at Thurs
day evenings meeting, and that the result oil
their deli lioerations was in strict accordance
| in every particular with what he had ad-
| vised. He denied that there was any ma.
| terial opposition to him within the party. and
insisted that the intensity Of democratic
harmony in this state at the present time Is
| something well nigh uuspeakaole.
| He discussed the relative strength OF the
| parties in Nebraska and said that there was
| no question but that the repu blicans had a
| clean plurality of from 5000 to soon. He
| thought that the repu blican state ticket mad
| a little the best Of the outlook at the presen,
| time. He was willing to go Oh record as
| stating that the Weaver electoral ticket

that he had paid no attention to the con
gressional fight in any Of the districts, as he
| was devotino himself TO the electoral and
| legislative fights. He was certain thai
! neither party would have majority in tbs
next legislature on joint ballot, and that the
| democrats would have the largest following
| and the republicans the least.
He called attention to the fact that neithe
| Martin nor Castor could speak with an!
authority regarding the wishes OF the ma
| tional committee, and explained it on the
| ground that the authority was delegated i,
| himself So far as the distribution o
patronage was concerned, he said that b
| did not want any of it, as it was a than Kles
| honor at best, and created an endless amour
Of ll-feeling and enmity.
Proud of His Prophecy.
| One thing to which he could point witt
pride" was a copy of his letter to Cleveland
written two years ago, stating that Neorask
would not cast her vote for the repuolica
nominee at this presidential election. ii
wrote that while it will be impossible t
throw the vote OF the state to the democrati
| nominee we will take Nebraska out of th
| repu bIcan column" and he wanted credi
| for being the most sagaclous politlca
prophet in this part of the country.
He congratulated himself because he wa
| out of the list of political aspirant:
| and asserted that there was not
thing in the political world that he wautei
| hut not word did he say as to why he con
| sidered himself fortunate in wanting moth
ing at the hands of Nebraska democrats thi
