Nomination Filed

BY piece of dispicable political chica-
merry the Democrats of tho fourth voting
district of Lincoln were deprived for a
time of a representative on the official bal
lot, and the wrong was righted only after
energetic work by Frank Il. Fitzsimmons
of the Town Committee who appeared be-
fore Town Clerk Charles II. Easton yester-
day afternoon and fled the nomination OF
Joseph j. Manning as q candidate for the
vacancy. Mr.. Corey resigned from the
ticket owing to the undue influence
brought TO bear upon him by two town
officials, and Mr.. Fitzsimmons contended
that the Town Clerk was morally Obliged
to notify the Chairman of tho Democratic
Town Committee of the vacancy In order
that they might fill the place. After con-
siderable discussion the name of Mr..
Manning was placed upon the official bal
lot. The Democrats are not satisfied with
the working of the Town Clerks Office,
and according TO the statement OF one OF
the members OF the Democratic Town
Committee. they propose TO ask for
thorough investigation OF the affairs ap-
pertaining to II.

@Mr. Mckinley is grateful, and
Iavishes his marks of consideration
on Demas. 1t is said that when the
latter went to Canton Mr.. Mckln-
lev showed him all over his resi-
dence, invited him to dinner with his
family and took him out driving in
the afternoon. To-day when the
sable politician from st. John called
at the white house, although it was
cabinet day, the president laid aside
the cares Of stete to receive his vlsi-
tor while men Of distinction In the
party and OF wide repute waited on
the outside. Il is said that the cilleI
executive assured the Louisiana
leader that he would never forget
his services and would reward him
generously when the time came to
distribute the official plums. But
this was not all. Shortly after De-
mas left the white house and pro-

promised much. If be redeems these
