TRUE TO HIS PARTY.
CHAIRMAN PATTERSON FILES
CERTIFICATES OF NOMI-
NATION.
He Says the Populists Have Been Be-
trayed by the Democratic Gang
and That They Have Ceased to Be
Catspaws for the Osborne Outfit
This Settles 1t.

S AAAtkA "
the populist party, was in the city this
morning and went west on No. 3. To a
Republican representative Mr.. Patter-
son stated that he had just been to the
capital, where he filled with the secre-
tary Of state certificates of nomination
by petition Of three populist electors,
two OF which take the place of those
who recently resigned at the behest OF
the Bryan managers. The nominating
certificates bear the signatures of more
than 100 voters OF the state, and it is
the purpose Of the populists to make a
struggle for the maintenance of their
party principles.
The gentlemen whom Mr.. Patterson
has substituted for those who resigned
are Patrick J. NJ. Jordan of Sweetwa-
ter county and VIM. Simms of Uinta
county. both of whom are middle-of-
the-road populists, and it is their inten-
ton to make a red hot fight during the
remainder of the nvas of the state.
Mr.. Patterson says the democrats
have betrayed the populists in a man
ner most shameful and the latter do not
propose, if the a help themselves, to
be made tools of any longer. He says
that when Mr.. Tidball came down to
the democratic state convention at
Rock Springs it was the understanding
that fusion would be accomplished by
giving the populists the presidential
electors and the congressman, Mr..
Brown having already been nominated
by he populists for the latter position.
Mr.. Patterson and Mr.. Tidball thought
this arrangement would be eminently
fair to the democrats, as it would give
them the four district judges and the
supreme judge, and in many Of the
counties the populists were not de-
handing anything upon the county
tickets.
The democrats. however. thought diff
ferently and absolutely ignored the
proposition. placing a full electoral
ticket in the field and nominating o.
borne for congress. Since the adjourn
ment of their convention they have
used all sorts Of mean to secure the
withdrawal of the populist electors and
Nj. Brown, and finally succeeded in
having the designations Of two OF the
populists and n democrat filed, hop
ing that this trick would appease the
populists and that they would fall into
line. But Mr.. Patterson and his COL
leagues were obdurate. They had been
betrayed and they felt that their only
redress was retaliation; hence they set
about perfecting a petition for the nom
nation Of electors who could not be
bamboozled by Osborne and his CO.
horts.
This has been accomplished and there
will be three populist electors upon the
ticket. two democrats and three repub-
Leans. AS yesterday vas the last day
for making filings with the secretary of
state, this arrangement will now stand,
and the democratic attempt to
make catspaws out Of the populists has
proven d ulSIndl failure.
WON'T CHANGE RUNNING TIME.
General Passenger Agent Lomax of
the Union Pacific has just returned
from Chicago. Asked if his road would
make any change in the time schedule
Of it's Overland limited" from Omaha
to San Francisco when the Southern
Pacific and the Santa Fe roads resumed
their through train service next month,
he replied with an emphatic negative.
He said: I'VE do not need to make
any change. even though these two
roads establish fast service between
Chicago and the Pacific coast. We will
beat them to San Francisco running on
cur present schedule. We have no de-
sire to further reduce the time. We
made n change when these roads
abandoned their through trains, and
we shall make no change when they
put them on again."-Omaha Bee.
