LINCOLN, June 30.-(Special )-Although
expressing great satisfaction with the
fusion state conventions the Nebraska In
dependent, the ~populist organ, does not re-
frain in its current issue from indulging
in some harsh criticism Of the leaders in
the so-called democratic recognizing move
ment. And 1t may be interesting to the
democrats Of Douglas county and else
where to know that Ed p. Smith. law part
ner Of C. J. Smyth. who was voted for SO
long In the democratic convention, is ac-
cused Of being one Of the principal agents
OF the Hill Cleveland democracy. The In
dependent says:
Both conventions met with the fixed de-
termination to have the candidate for gov
ernor. The truth was that the, populists
were astonished when they first heard that
supposed that thai matter was settled last
ocrat for the head of the ticket. Their de-
termination to insist that the governor
should be a populist was Increased when
the democrats proceeded to make a nominal
ton without consultation with the populists
and Ind before any G 4ht 20 MI :. had s
Is this: The Hill Cleveland democracy
formed a plan to defeat fusion in these
been working in almost every county in
Kansas, Nebraska, the .Dakotas and Min
nesota. In the democratic delegations there
were one or two and sometimes more OF
these men from each county. They did not
care VINO was nominated lot governor
Their object was to defeat fusion. They
had a very active and efficient leader in
Ed p. Smith of Omaha.
M. F. Harrington. who was given the
populist nomination so many times in the
long-drawn battle, is thus summarily dealt
with:
II the populists had had any candidate of
prominence there is no doubt that at sew
eral stages of the proceedings the dead
lock could have been broken. But there
was no prominent man in the populist
party who wanted the Office.
Closes Bank at Murdoch.
The German bank of Murdoch, Cass
county, has been ordered closed by Secre-
tary Royse Of the State Banking board be-
cause Of Irregularities in its management.
Its condition promises that all depositors
will be paid nearly in full. Mr.. Royse
was unable to say Just how serious the ir-
regularities are and refrained from speak
Ing OF their character. He says, however,
hat the trouble may be righted and that
the bank may resume business. The Ger
man bank Of Murdoch was organized eight
years ago and until recently has been in
a hourishing condition. Several days age
the state bank examiner visited the insti.
tuition and made discoveries which led tC
an investigation in which Secretary Royst
took part, with the result that the doors
were ordered closed. Bank Examiner w
D. Hartwell is temporarily in charge. The
banks liabilities amount to $43,573 81; de-
posits. $37, 052; loans and discounts, $34,
