Nebraska Grain Dealers Organize
for Mutual Benefit.
N%EBRASKA'S BIG CORN CROP
They Absolutely Refuse to Give
Farmers Information About
the Organization.

$3.50
number of seventy representing
about 100 houses and elevators, met
at the Commercial club rooms Sat-
urday Oct. 10th, and formed a Sc
cret organization for their ''protec-
ton and benefit
After the meeting was over a re-
quest for permission to copy the
roll of members present for publ
cation met with a fat refusal from
the president, Mr.. Hayes of Hast
ings, and Secretary Clark, the lat
ter saying: IF we give the names
every farmer in the state will know
all about it tomorrow" J. A. Con
nor of Omaha was very energetic in
warning the members from outside
the city that there was a newspaper
man waiting for a report and to be
careful not to give out anything,
After the request for the names had
been made Mr.. Conner advised the
officers against giving out the list,
saying the meeting was a secret
one, that the association was a Sc
cret one, it was nobody's business
what they did, they did not want
the farmers to know what was being
done, who was in the organization,
or anything about it.
No other reason was given for
the absolute secrets sought to be
maintained regarding everything
connected with the meeting. One
of the members, when asked if it
vas not on account of the federal
law prohibiting, and providing pen
alties for violation of it, combina-
tions or trusts to depress or con-
troll the price of any necessity, ETC.,
and also on account of the Nebraska
state law framed on the same lines,
said he did not know anything
about it and did not want to.
The enormous O crop in Ne
braska this year, and the fact that
it is the first time for several years
that the elevator men have had a
big crop to work on, was discussed.
According to the government esti-
mate, the corn crop this year is
over 300, 600, 600 bushels, but &C
cording to some of the estimates
submitted yesterday it is from $780,
000, 900 to $50, 600, 900 bushels. On
these estimates, allowing that all
over 300, 600, 900 bushels are fed or
consumed ir the state, it will leave
COG, 900 carloads to be shipped out.
This would mean 100 trains Of
twenty cars each for every working
day for a year. It would require
over 5000 miles of trains to move
it all at once. At 10c a bUshel the
farmers would receive $50, O0O. 900
for the crop, the railroads a con-
~siderably larger amount, even at
their lowest rates. With such an
enormous crop the amount received
by the elevator men depends on cir
cumstances, it being pointed out
that even a cent or a fraction of a
cent on such a crop would amount
to a large sum: and that "circum-
stances" could be better controlled
by forming a strong and secret or
g%anization, each member binding
himself to live up to the agreements
made, than by the different eleva-
tor men, as expressed by one of
them, "scrapping among ourselv es. "
After the appointment of several
committees, the association ad-
journed to meet in Lincoln, We'd

The question has been raised al
to whether the State committee
should call one or two convention;
this year. 1t seems to us that there
is only one side to this question.
There should be two conventions
The first should choose delegates
to the national convention and in,
struct them. The delegates chosen
should all be men whose known
views on public questions are in har-
mony with those held by majority
of Tennessee democrats, and they
should further be bound by explicit
instructions as to how their votes
should be cast. We do not believe
that even the electors should be
nominated at the convention, but
that their choice should be commit
ted to the gubernatorial conven-
ton, to be called and held after the
national convention has acted. 1t
seems to us mere fOolishness to run
the risk of conducting the next cam
paign on two conflicting platforms.
Upon which of these platforms
would the candidate for governor
stand? Upon which would the can
didates for electors stand? Or should
we have, on the supposition made, a
double barreled plan of campaign,
adjusted to fit the different necessi-
les of the gubernatorial and the
contests? Let US sup
pose, for instance, that the State
should declare unequiv-
,cally for the free coinage of silver
md the national convention should
axe the Cleveland Carlisle view and
Ieclare for gold monOmetalism. In
UGH a case 1t seems to us that the
roper thing for the silver men to
10 would be to step down, invite
he gold men to take the gubernato-
ial convention and run it, choose
heir own candidate for governor,
lake their own platform and name
leir own electors, their own COM
littee, and in general to have ex- ,
Iusive control and management of {
ne party machinery. This does

Neither of the editors OF
this paper ever heired one
dollar. They are by no
means wealthy, but are worth
more now than when they at
tanned their majority. Since
the present management OF
this paper assumed charge,
it has at all times been pre-
pared to meet its current eX-
penses. Although the edi-
tor of the Free Press was so
fortunate as to heir much of
this worlds goods, neveIthe-
less the current expenses of
the Free Press have not been
paid. Instead of the BULLE-
TIN being a beggar it is pay
ing its debts and competing
with a paper that has not
paid its debts. The BULLE-
TIN is more than willing to
enter into a contract with the
Free Press, conditioned that
the paper first failing tc
meet its obligatiuns will sus-
pend publication. Now either
sign the contract with the
BULLETIN or admit that you
prefer to live "by serving the
people of the good old coun-
ty of Hardeman" in your
usual way.

SENATOR BLACKBURN was
selected by the Kentucky
democratic caucus for United

equal number Of democrats
and republicans, until the re-
cent death Of one of the dem
ocratic Legislators. As there
are two peoples party men,

The success of democracy
in this state depends to a
great extent upon the action
of the State Executive COM
mittee. The peculiar cOndi-
ton of affairs makes it very
necessary that judgment and
discretion be exercised, and
that the spirit of conserva-
tism be in the ascendancy in
all matters pertaining to the
selection of a standard bear
er. Already there is by far
too much disaffection in the
ranks of the democratic party
in this state. There are two
factions, and neither can be
successful if irretrivably d.
vided. The Executive Com.
mittee has the power to con-
ciliate, but if it be true that
the Committee has decided
to hold one convention in.
stead of two, the result viii
be a fermentation of strife anC
the paving of the way to in
evitable defeat. In presi
dental years it has been the
custom in this state to hole
two conventions, one for the
selection of delegates to the
National Convention, and the
other to nominate a candi'
date for Governor. This is
a most inopportune time fol
the breaking away from
precedents and the establish
ment Of methods to secure
undue advantage. 1t will be
readily seen that if a state
platform is adopted declaring
in favor of the free coinage o.
silver, and the national plat
form should be opposed tt
the declarations of the state
platform on the financial
question, that the democracy
of this state would be placed
in very unenviable and in
applicable position. In OF.
der to prevent such an en-
tanglement, the BULLETIN
is in favor of the state plat
form being confined to stat'
matters. With such a plat
form we see no reason why
the democracy Of the Volun
teer State should not be vic
torious in the coming cleo
ton.
