LINCOLN. Dec. I.-(Special.) while re-
publican members of the state legislature
are figuring out a program and discussing
the selection Of officials to serve during
the session, the report comes to Lincoln
that the democrats are not idle, but are
also getting very busy on a program, and
their program is being arranged with an
eye TO the future. The report is that the
aemocrats intend to offer bills as soon
possible after the session begins covering
practically every plank in the republican
platform. BY this plan they hope to either
force. the majority to vote for minority
bills or for the majority to kill the bills
IN the miIup, however, they hope to get
the republicans to fighting among them
selves and thus prevent any important
tegisiaeon now demanded by the people.
Should the republican majority pass a
minority measure, the democrats two years
from now, would claim the credit OF any
good measure passed, OF should the ma
sority kill a democratic measure that is
sound, and then fail to pass a bill equally
as good, the democrats again would have
good campaign thunder
1t has been suggested the only way to
head of this contemplated action of the
democrats is for the republicans to stand
together and select joint committee to
get Mp the bills desired and then to kill the
democratic measures should the two parties
Introduce measures Of the same character.
Inasmuch as the people have voted con-
ndence In the republicans and have selected
republicans to carry out the reforms de-
manded, a well known republican has
suggested that sincere democrats will work
with the republicans, appearing before the
committees and making suggestions, but
that they will not try to formulate any
legislation which the republicans have been
selected to enact
Senators visit Capital
Senator Saunders was in Lincoln today,
not on any particular business, he said. but
merely because he has the habit of coming
often. Mr.. Saunders said he is making
no active or strenuous campaign to be
president pro tenn. of the senate, but is
willing to leave his case to the senators
when they get here. He called at the state
house and visited number of the offices.
Standardized Sackett Of Gage county was
q Lincoln visitor today. MIR. Sackett has
been mentioned as candidate for president
of the senate and was mixing with some
OF the Lincoln politicians. He is dead set
to carry out the republican platform
pledges and believes there will be little
trouble in passing measures conforming to
every plank in the platform.
Two vouchers have been filed with the
secretary of the State Board of Public
Lands and Buildings which will need some
explanation before warrants are issued.
one was fled by H. c, Haverly of the
Hastings asylum and endorsed by Superin-
, tendent Kern for $26O13, with the following
statement:
Expenses for II. C. Haverly and assistant
In taking Andrew simmons ana joe
Selarmo, discharged patients to Utica N.
Y, and Scranton, Pa.
The other voucher is in favor Of DR.. Kern
and reads as folows
= For returning Edward Cushing. inmate
Of this hospital. TO Chicago, S6l4O.
In this voucher the word former" ap-
pears before tho word inmate" but it is
crossed out by a lead pencil mark.
BY what authority the asylum sent EN-
ployes with former patients, or discharged
patients at the expense of the state is not
shown, though the secretary of state said,
Il may be possible It would be a saving
proposition to the state to get some of the
patients out Of the hospital by taking them
TO some of their relatives. However, the
claims will not be allowed until proper eX-
PLANTATION is made.
Talk of Inaugural Ball.
Covernor-elect George l.. Sheldon is liable
60 have to undergo some pressure from
the society people of Lincoln, who, some
time ago got into politics far enough TO be
on good terms with state officers, about an
inaugural ball. Governor Mickey, IT will
be remembered, refused TO permit himself
20 be danced into office, as a good Meth
Odist governor naturally would refuse. The
second Inauguration of this governor was
marked by grand march which came
pretty close to turning into dance. Gov
ernor Sheldon, however, so It is reported by
his friends who used to attend the uni
