NEBRASKA COLD DEMOCRATS u1x.
They Can Use the Party DeaIenation on
the Omeini BnIiot-An Appeal.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Oct. l7.-Secretary of State
Piper this evening handed down his decision on
the protest of the silver Democrats against per-
uniting Palmer and Buckner electors and tho
sound-money Democratic state and Congress
tional candidates to use the party designation
The sound-money men demanded to be per-
mitted to use Democrat" only, and the Secre-
tary sustained them In their contention, tho
silver mems protest being sus, aimed only as
against the sound-money candidate In the
Third Congress district, who had practically
withdrawn. The silver Democrats gave imme-
dlato notice that they would appeal to the Su-
preme Court for decision on the question. The
case 10 expected to como up Tuesday.
The Secretary sustained the protest of the reg
ular Republican organization against the ap.
pearance on the ofhcial ballot OF the elootoral
State and Congressional nom ices OF tho Abra-
ham Lincoln Republicans. an organization com
posed Of fres-slver Bryan Repu ublicans on the
ground that 1t had held no regularly called or
organized Convention, and was evidently a de-
vice to confuse the voter.

Decision by tho County Clerk OF Hadson
County Against the Machine.


County Against the Machine.
County Clerk John E. Fisher Of Hudson
county. N. j.. gave . decision yesterday against
the machine Democrats. Tho sound.money
Democrats of the county have effected O COM
plete and strong orgahization. under the name
Of the. \ National Democratic party.
They sent delegates to the National Conven-
ton In Indianapolis and afterward decided to
nominate a complete local ticket. That meant
serious injury to the candidates of the Demo-
cratic machine who had already been nomi-
mated at the primary.
Some tricky politician suggested that the
National Democrats could bs shut out by iling
petition in the name of the National Demo-
cratic party containing the names of the cand-
dates who had been nominated By the Demo-
cratic machine The suggestion was adopted
and the petition was filed Sept. %. before
the genuine National Democrats had completed
their ticket.
The latter filed a protest with tine County
Clerk aga nst the theft of their name and on Oct
9 filed a petition with the names OF the candl-
dates they had selected. Mr.. Fisher recognized
the fact that the petition filed by the machine
Democrats of which Bob Davis Is the boss was
q bold ATTEMPT to steal tho name of the genuine
National Democrats and decided accordingly.
