have, / am bound to admit that
free and untrammelled express
sion of the individual delegates
in both conventions would have
defeated it decisively. The
hardy warriors of ancient Gaul
compelled their captives to pass
beneath a yoke to denote their
submission to a power. If this
submission was at times sullen
and silent, it was none the less
absolute. In such mood did the
delegates of both conventions
accept the decree of their leaders,
and pass beneath political yoke
they wished, but lacked courage
to avoid.
"Four or five democrats and as
many populists outlined a pro-
gram and compelled its ratifica-
ton. Kindly indulge me if |
doubt the love of good govern
ment of those who on the one
side preferred republican success
to the acceptance of anything
less than the lions share of the
spoiles and question the wis
dom of those who on the other
side tamely submitted to the
humiliation of their party and
lifted never finger to prevent it.
Plenty of proof is available to
support the assertion that there
was an entire lack of Cancellation,
total disregard of the preferen-
ces and even the rights of dele
gates.
1.-The democratic convention
was the least creditable of any
ever held in the state. 1t was
the first time in the party's his
tory that a democrat was denied
an opportunity of voting for a
democrat in a democratic conven-
ton as his choice for governor.
Shallenberger would have been
the nominee. Boyd and Smyth
had supporters and Billy Thomp-
son had plenty of friends who in
tended to ignore his refusal to
run and vote for him. The &C
ceptance of Mike Harrington's
def disfiranchised every demo-
crat in his own convention, and
the day of reckoning may not be
long coming for the few men
who thwarted the laudable am
bition OF many men to at least
express a preference for one of
their own faith"

Fusion Democrat on Fusion.

Col. H. w. Risley, one of the
editors of the Grand Island
Democrat always a submissive
fusionist tor Bryan's sake, gives
his opinions of the late fusion
conventions in the following
language:
THE delegates to the demo-
cratic and populist state conven-
tions are leaving for home today
in far from good humor. An
afternoon and long night of vigil
necessary to carry out a bargain
has left its sting of bitterness.
The engagements OF commerce
sometimes produce this result.
1.-Two weeks ago, the bulk of
the democratic leaders of Ne
braska signed and sealed a COM
pact that populist should re-
ceive the fusion nomination for
governor, together with such
other places as populist leaders
should see fit to ask, and the
compact has been delivered.
The boys on the firing line were
not consulted and of course had
nothing to say.

The veteran Tibbles, whose
opposition to the fusion state
ticket was only suppressed when
the business interests" of the
Nebraska Independent appeared
to demand that he make a show
of supporting Berge and the rest
of EN- for the sake of retaining a
few Bryan democrats and pie
hunting populists upon the sub
scription list-this virile defend
er of the Populist faith is said to
be secretly arranging for the de-
feat of William j. Bryan, even
though the Legislature should go
fusion. A Lincoln Populist who
claims to speak advisedly states
positively that Mr.. Tibbles has
advised some of his closest
friends to work for the nominal
ton of populists who will agree
not to vote for any man for Unit
ed States Senator, who is a sup
porter of Judge Parker. Can
you think of any Nebraskan, say
boy orator for instance, who is
supporter of Judge Parker and
an aspirant for the United States
Senate? If you can, you know
a man who will feel somewhat
aggrieved when he learns the
trend of Mr.. Tibbles' mind, The
striking feature of the situation
is the extreme forethought of
Mr.. Tibbles in providing for such
remote contingency as the pos
sible election of a fusion legisla-
ture. 1t proves the careful
thoroughness of the man. 1t
proves other things, too, to Mr..
Bryan-but we will not dwell up
on that painful subject.

This lovely bud so young, so tair,

And babe it blossom there.

The democratic national COM
mittee has made several special
efforts since the st. Louis con-
vention to install enthusiasm
into their campaign, but thus far
every attempt has been a failure.
Realizing that theirs is a lost
cause in the west their whole at
tention has been turned to the
east and south. But even in
those localities only a lukeworm
support of Parkerism is seen.
The present indications are that
both New York and Indiana
which they had hoped to coun,
in the democratic column will
give handsome majorities for
Roosevelt and it is even predict
ed that Missouri and UMississippi
will give the republican candi-
dates their electral vote.

LINCOLN LETTER.

Mr.. Berge poses as a lifelong
friend of the farmer. Just what
he has done to deserve this title
no one takes the pains to explain,
but he says that he is the farm
er's friend, and of course he
ought to know. But it seems a
little queer that this farmers
friend who never has befriended
the farmer should open his cam
paign by firmly upholding the
right of municipalities to tax
railroad terminals, which of
course means that the rural dis
tricts would loose the benefit of
the railroad terminal values and
Omaha and Lincoln would profit
immensely thereby. The whole
proposition has been threshed
over so often of late that it is
scarcely worthy of mention, but
the remarkable fact that farm
er's friend should befriend only
the white-shirted farmers in Lin
coin and Omaha to the detriment
of the real farmers (who by the
way have a habit of selecting
their own friends) is novel
thing to encounter even in the
present somewhat ludicrous state
campaign. If Mr.. Berge keeps
on at his present gait he will
soon have him befriending the
working man by lowering his
wages. The proposition is no
more absurd than the one just
submitted to the people by Mr..
Berge.
Last week your correspondent
referred to the garbled, if not
deliberately falsiiied, report of
Warden Hopkins, keeper of the
state penitentiary under the adj
misistration of Governor Poynter.
1t will be remembered that by
reporting about one-seventh of
the actual cost of maintaining
his institution Warden Hopkins
was able to show a per capita
expense of about $4,000, for the
six months commencing Deem
Der l, 1899, and ending May 81,
1900. After revising aud cor
recting Warden Hopkins report
by adding the expenditures
which the auditors records prove
that he spent, we find that the
actual per capita cost of main
tainance was Sl13.73. Under
Governor Mickey, Warden BEEN
er reports per capita of $S7. 90
for corresponding period this
year, the saving to the state be-
ing $25.77 per capita or 81, OBS. 81
for the six months. This proves
the entire truth of the old say
ing: Figures won't lie, but a
smart man can make them lie"
and it proves also that economy
in state affairs is not always eff
fected by those who use the word
most frequently in their cam
paign speeches. The fusion
claim of economy is as leaky as
the roofs of the state buildings

A Miraculous Cure.

My daughter was afflicted with
a fever sore on her leg for over a
year, helpless in bed three or four
months, and the doctors wished
me to take her to a hospital. A
number of pieces of bone came out
of the sore, showing the bone was
badly affected, and it was thought
that the leg would have to be
opened and the bone scraped or
the leg amputated. Hearing Of
the cures Of San-Cura Ointment,
we applied it as directed and to
the great surprise Of all including
the four physiciasn who had at
tended her, the great sore healed
up in less than six weeks. San
Cura Ointment was worth five
hundred dollars to me and all my
neighbors will verify this state
ment.

SEE CORA BEcKw1TH,
The Most Famous Woman Swim
mer in the World.

The most instructive and prob
ably the most interesting feature
| of the carnival, is the perform
ance given at regular intervals
during the afternoon and evening
by Cora Beckwith, the champion
| lady swimmer of the world.
Miss Beckwith enjoys the dis
,tinction of being the only woman
who ever swan the English cham
incl. and this, in connection with
many other marvellous aquatic
feats, have made her the most
talked Of woman in the world.
Ever since she was child and
took to the water after her father,
who was a famous swimmer IN
his day, she has been before the
public attention, and well has she
merited all the fine things said OF
her.
Miss Beckwith's performance
can really be called artistic. With
the ease and grace of creature
native to the watery deeps, she
glides in and out of the large
tank constructed especially for
her in the carnival grounds. Her
dexterous movements, coupled
with the perfect ease which betok-
ems absolute mastery over the ele-
ments in which she lives from
twelve to fourteen hours a day, is
truly wonderful. Miss Beckwith
illustrates, for the delectation OF
her audience, the various propell-
ing strokes used by the different
nations, and quite a number OF
new strokes of her own design.
But what is most mystifying OF all
is the way in which she floats. She
simply lies on her back in the wa
ter as other people lie on their
beds. Not a muscle moves, her
body taking on the position OF
natural rest with every tendon re-
Taxed.
Aside from these test, Miss
Beckwith gives various limitations,
and her faithful reproduction of
the position in which drowned
men are found is so realistic that
it always sends shudder through
her audience.
Miss Beckwith was a star at
traction at the Pan-American ex-
position at Buffalo, and her work
there attracted worldwide atten-
ton.
The people of this city have an
opportunity to see the most re-
|markable woman before the public
today.
