POYNTER'S MOTIVE APPEARS
Reasons why the Governor vetoed
the Court Commission Bill
Are Out.

LINCOLN, May 23.-(Special) 1.-The mo-
tive of the governor for attaching his veto
to the supreme court commission bill, to-
gether with the price that was demanded
for allowing the bill to become law, has
at last come to light. 1t seems that the su-
preme court was crippled simply because a
certain popocrat could not be provided with
place on the commission.
The story dates back to the day when the
senate was about to take vote on the bill.
The governor sent up word that he would
like to have action deferred until he could
hold a conference with the judiciary COM
mittee and on this request he was waited
upon by the republican members of this
committee. The governor in this conference
produced a substitute or amendment to the
original bill, which provided that each mem
ber of the court should have the nomina-
tion of a commissioner and that the man
thus selected should be appointed by the
court Under his amendment the term of
the commissioner should end with the term
of the Judge who nominated him.
The amendment offered by Poynter was
clearly to make the office of court commits
siCner a political office with the immediate
effect of allowing Sullivan to reward one
OF the political strikers. The judiciary COM
ElLtee did not accept the suggestions made
by the governor and the senate soon after
passed the bill in its original form.
1t was we'll understood that Ed P. Smith
was tc receive the appointment if the gov
ernor's plan had been adopted and at the
same time summary action was to have
been taken on Frank Irvine. The last move
in the deal was made after the governor
! bad vetoed the bill. Ed Smith hurried to
the telegraph office ana sent a nessag2 TO
| a prominent man in Seward county. In this
! lnl sage he told of the veto and notified the
Seward man that in case of an agreement
to appoint himself (Smith) as one of the
commissioners the bill would be passed over
the veto Of the governor. The Seward man
told the republican senator's of the offer
and the impression was that 1t was made
with tie knowledge of Poynter and that the
executive influence was to be cyert"A on
the fusion voters in favor of the bill in
case Smiths demands were agreed to. The
republican members refused the compromise
and the bill failed to pass over the veto.
After this attempt to club the court and the
Legislature into submission the reasons ad-
vanced by the governor in his veto message
appeared especially ludicrous to the large
number of M mbers who had personal
knowledge of all the facts.

WYMORE, Neb,, May 23.-(special.) Just
eighteen years ago Sunday the little village

is still enjoying a healthy growth and it is
hard TO predict the proportions to which it

462 claims, and during his second term there
were allowed 47,359 claims, and during
President Hayes term, from 1877 to 1880,
39,945 claims were allowed. During the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, 52,64S

Missourian who is described by one
of the Manila correspondents as being

of fun as F'lannigan's bull pup At

fighting was lat its fiercest, gun of
one of the batteries came tearing
down the road behind four big mules
and rider who was getting hide at
every crack of the whip. As every
body knows, a gun carriage with Gals
son attached looks very much like a
wagon, minus the box, and when the
flying outfit passed the Twentieth
Kansas the big Missourian shouted:
Hello. farmer, goin' aftersa load of

rider without turning his head, ego
in down to neighbor Aggie's to see if
