Mr.. Allen thought it especially inn
portant to repeal the law exempting
certain persons from jury duty. A
large proportion of the very best men
in the State. he said. escaped Jury ser
vice by means of these special acts. He
thought there ought to be very few cx-
emptions.
Mr.. Rountree. of New Hanover, was es-
pecially anxious TO have all exemptions
wiped out. and he was now preparing n
bill with that end in view. 1--WE have
been suffering from negro domination at
Wilmington, until the other day we got
tired and quit, all except with our ju-
res. AT least one-third of our juries
are negroes, and this is in great part
due to the fact that so many of our
white people escape under exemption
laws. -

ton of bill to regulate the juries of
the State was referred to a sub-com-
mittcc composed of Messrs Gattis,

THE CONFEDERATE BAZAAR.
The Biggest Thing of the Kind Ever
Held in The City

The Confederate bazaar, which viii be
held in this city week after next, is GO
ing to be the biggest thing of the kind
ever held in the city. Its success has
already been assured by the great inter-
est that is being manifested, not only
within The limits of the State, but from
distant States. The idea was a happy
one. and its is meeting with the greatest
encouragement. The question now is, to
how great an extent its success win
reach. The cause for which it is held is
a most worthy one, and every one should
put his shoulder to the wheel.
There will be an importan meeting of
the Confederate Bazaar Association this
morning ut IL o'clock at the Supreme
Court building. 1t is earnestly desired
that as many as possible be present, as
the time is short before the opening of

APPRAISERS REPORT COMING

Central boulevard NOrthward
Being Completed.

The report OF the appraisers OF property
condemned for the Central boulevard will
be filed with the city clerk today or Satur-
day. The proceedings to appropriate the
land in question have been delayed several
times. Once the appralsement was above
the limit allowed to the park commissioners
to eXpend without a submission of the quee-
tioa to the voters, and the second appraise-
ment has been a long process because OF
the large number of persons interested,
about 200 pieces of property being affected.
Most OF 1t is in the gulch running north
and south through the western part of the
city, and its exact value is difficult to
judge.
When the appraisement has been COM
pleted and the adjustments made with the
prCperty-owners, the city will acquire by
dedication from public-spirited citizens a
large amount OF property which, when i'm
proved and beautifed, will be a valuable

PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE SITUATION

Most OF the delegates who participated in
the republican state convention left on the
morning trains The scenes of activity around
headquarters have given place TO the every
day monotony. but the enthusiastic cheers
chat punctuated the work of the convention
have been succeeded by no less enthusiastic
determination to carry the ticket TO victory.
1t is noticeable that the convention has left
behind II an atmosphere of confidence seldom
born OF political contests. There are no sore
spots 10 heal and not voice Is raised except
in the most loyal commentator of the candi-
dates who have been placed at the head OF the
army that proposes to storm the popocratlc
battlements. The scenes that accompanied
the leave takings Of the delegates were
scarcely second in significance to those which
made the convention notable. Every one
was jubiant, and every delegate went home
TO voice the confidence with which his days
work had inspired him. The effect was just
as though every man in the convention had
come with an earnest wish to secure the nom
ination OF the very candidates who were
named and gone away feeling that everything
had gone his way, II was the unanimity Of
opinion that the party has put up the very
strongest ticket that could be named and
that II can now enter the campaign in a con-
dition that assures success.

ment prevails 1t is the general expression
that the convention has done its work as well
as it could possibly be done, and that its
nominees will be trfumphantly elected. The
situation is peculiarly satisfactory to the
candidates on the local ticket. who declare
that the action of the convention and the ex-
ceptonal harmony that prevails in the state
will have tendency materially to strengthen
the party in it's local campaign. The demo-
cratic and populist leaders admit that Judge
Reese will be hard man to beat and the
comparison of his record with that OF their

Hayward was deputed to interview Judge
Reese by telephone, secure his presence, IL
possible, or at least ascertain his wishes.
Judge Reese could not come to Omaha on
account of the Illness of Mrs. Reese, and he
also declined to have anything to say in re-
gard to the organization OF the committee.
"You fellows seem to be running things
in pretty high handed manner up there"
he humorously answered Senator Hayward,
"and / am willing that you should go ahead
and fix it up to suit yourselves. Anything
that the committee wants to do Is what |
want" he continued 81 want you 20 en-
dorse for me whatever the committee de-
cdes as for the best interests of the party"
In reply to direct questions as to where he
would like to have the headquarters located
and who he wanted for chairman of the
committee, Judge Reese returned similar
answers. He declared that he had un-
bounded confidence in the committee and
was ready to concur enthusiastically in its
action. When this was reported to the COM
mittee the liberality OF the candidates at
titude was generally appreciated, and it in
spred determination all around to make
the campaign a winner.

The candidacy of Judge Reese had local
significance in that he oficiated at the lay

OF Omaha's big Office buildings. When the
Board of Trade building was in course of
construction Judge Reese was grand master
Of the Nebraska Masons and in that capac-
ity he laid the cornerstone OF the hand

While politics has become very practical
does not include an element of superstition
is a rarity. In this connection the candi-
dacy of Judge Reese gives birth TO a senti-
ment that is being largely commented on
in political circles. 1t is a matter of po-
litical history that the disasters that have
been experienced by the republican party
of Nebraska had their beginning in the an
tagonism developed when the party refused
to renominate Judge Reese for the supreme
bench twelve years ago. With this in mind
the belief is emphasized that the logic Of
political events has brought him back to
lead the campaign that is to redeem the
prestige that has been lost.
The convention at which Judge Reese was
defeated for denomination is well remem-
bered by most OF the older members of the
party. 1t was held at Hastings in 1887.
During his first term on the bench Judge
Reese had incurred the hostility of the rail-
road managers by some OF his decisions,
notably those which referred to the power
of the state commission 10 regulate the
affairs OF the roads Still no open opposi-
tion TO his denomination had developed and
when the convention met the friends of
Judge Reese believed his denomination a
foregOne conclusion. But in the meantime
the railroads were secretly but effectively
incubating a plan to turn him down. In
| those days proxies were allowed in repub-
