world, but it is rapidly dying, and the own

thousands as remarkable illustration OF
California's productiveness. The old vine

Democrats Favor Hitchcock and Pop.
ulists Want Allen.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 6.-Ever since the
late Senator Hayward was taken sick and
it was known that the chances were
against his recovery, there has been con-
siderable talk to whom Governor Poyn-
ter would appoint to the vacancy. The only
ones prominently mentioned are ex-senator
Alien and G. NJ. Hitchcock, editor OF the
Omaha World Herald. The Democrats are
urging the appointment of the latter on
the ground that they have not received
their proportion of the offices under the fu-
sion deals Of the past few years. They also
urge that the next Legislature. which must
permanently fill the vacancy. will have two
senators to elect, the Hayward successor
and one to succeed Senator Thurston.
whose term expires one year from next
March The Populists insist on the paming
CT ex-senator Allen. 1t was reported that
Allen had stated he did not desire the ap-
pointment, but telegram from him denies
this. The Populist members Of Congress
from Nebraska have telegraphed Governor
Poynter. urging Aliens appointment and
this has been supplemented by kilograms
from the Populist and free-silver senators
from other States and some of the con-
gressmen. Governor Poynter refuses TO
after the funeral Of Senator Hayward.
