Partisan activity has abated some since
the results Of the election have been made
known The crowds OF party workers that
have haunted the respective headquarters FOR
weeks past have sought other avenues of EN-
ployment or entertainment, and most OF the
headquarters are closed, But one person
was found at republican headquarters,
young lady stenographer, the rooms Of the
democratic county committee are closed and
the democratic state headquarters in the
Karbach block are locked up. All demo-

were populist county headquarters, are still
open and the same crowd appears to be
camping there that could be found there be-

Proof of the Trcachcry.

The most striking proof Of the treachery
OF this alleged republican organization comes
from South Omaha through pictorial edi-
ton of the South Omaha Sun, VIGOROUSLY the
organ of the South Omaha grafters and which
IL especially backed by Councilman Kelly,
league committeeman. This paper prints
tho pictures of few of the candidates who
were elected, together with hearse under
the headlines Funeral Pageant. Republican
loyalty unable to eat Rosewater crow and
ha pet candidates arc defeated" 1t goes
on to say that the notorious methods en-
p1oyed in the republican primaries were too
much for the strongest feelings of party
loyalty to stand and the defeat Of the spe-
cial favorites OF the city hall gang followed.
II adds: This is not a dreamy statement"
and to show that the treachery did not stop
al tho candidates on tho county ticket, but
included the delivering of the traitors votes

While the fusion machine has been trying
to lead the people to believe that great sums
of money were being sent into the state to
enable the republicans to carry it the cleo
tiou demonstrated how thorough was the
organization maintained by the fusion COM
mittees an organization that could not have
been maintained without heavy expense Of
somebody's money. 1t is generally acknowl-
edged by managers OF the fusion campaign
that the organization this year was far bet
te, than during any former year in this
state, and they declare that next year the
organization will be perfected.
1t is known that in every country precinct
precautions had been taken to have at least
four teams at work, each with two men In
charge, to get out the full fusion strength.
These men were instructed that any fusion
voter who had not cast hiG ballot at noon
wai to be deemed a stay at home and was
to be rounded up by the precinct workers
withou! delay. Canvassers were employed
who were to list every voter in their re-
spective precincts, learning not only his gem
eral political predictions, but how he had
been talking during tho weeks preceding
election and wherever one was found who
waa approachabls an effort was to be made
to induce him to vote the fusion ticket.
Great numbers of personal letters were
sent out from the democratic headquarters
in this city and the popuist state head
quarters in Lincoln directed to the leaders of
both factions of the fusonists in every coun-
try precinct calling attention to the import
aDce OF the campaign and suggest
ing that If every partisan worker
naturally favorable to the fusion cause
would take off his coat and exert every
effort for success It was sure to come. The
great Importance of the campaign to de
mocracy's great leader was pointed out
vividly to the strong men OF the community;
they were eXhorted to get their party
workers together locally map out plans of
campaign and try to show a gain for the
ticket. Each was assured that other leaders
were doing the same in other precincts. They
were also eXhorted to line up the weak
kneed Of their respective parties, so that the
candidate for supreme Judge would not be
defeated by indifference. "as Senator Allen
was defeated last year" The party WORKERS o
were each assured that the state committee
desired him ito share in the glory of the
victory" and was led to believe that such a
victory would certainly have something good
In 1t for him other than partisan satisfaction
or course 1t took money to carry on such
campaign, and at times the exchequer was
bankrupt, but windfalls came in at opportune
moments from parties outside of the state
interested in seeing the fusion forces win in
Nebraska and the work went on uninter-
ruptedly.

Their Troubles Hegin.

There is a prospect that, while the cleo
tion is over and they have won out, the
troubles of John Power and Broadwell have
therefore only just begun Fusionist heel
ors are gathering their forces for an on
slaught upon these two officers for appoint
ment as aids in conducting the county bus
mess. The woods are said to be full of as
pirants for positions under Power, but none
of the democratic leaders felt competent to
predict the personnel of the force of depu-
ties. 1t has been a matter of common
knowledge that Albyn Frank expects to re-
main as deputy district clerk under Broad
we'll, but some prominent democrats were
today declaring that such an arrangement
will never be permitted. 1t is considered
more probable that the present deputy will
be retained at least until the new clerk ac-
auires an idea as TO the routine duties Of
tho office.
One thing Is, however, certain. Lee Herd
man will be candidate for the clerkship
of the supreme court. 1t has been under
stood that either Herdman or Benton Marot
would be after this place il Holcomb should
be elected. Considerable perplexity has
been expressed as to which would put for
ward the claim to this office, probably the
best paying office in the state. Herdman
now declares that he is after the place and
that Maret is not candidate. AS Herdman
has for years officiated as secretary of the
democratic state committee, his claims will
doubtless receive first consideration. This
will leave Maret to become secretary of the
committee, to await the next fat appontiye
office that may lie within tn bestowal Of the
pcpocratic machine in Nebraska. With
Herdman clerk OF the supreme court and
Dahlman drawing the salary of a secretary
of the Board of Transportation. the demo-
cratic state committee will be provided for,
