LINCOLN, Neb., April 3O.--(special Tele-
gram Miss Beatrice McGinnis, mstron.
has been discharged by Superintendent
Woodward of the Lincoln Gsplum. and Miss
Beatrice McGinnis says she will not quit.
Thus begins the disorganization of the
Lincoln asylum under democratic rule, for
dissatisfaction is expressed by many of the
employees about the way things are running
and II is even said Assistant Superintendent
Weber covets the place of his chief, and
factionalism runs riot 10 such an extent
that no mans job is safe.
Miss McGinnis said notice of her dis
missal was the result of united effort to
get her out of the institution She IL a
relative of Arthur Mullen, overload to the
governor. and she is depending upon Mr..
Mullen to hold her In her place. At the
present time Mr.. Mullen Is out of the city
and so is the governor. Miss McGinnis ex-
poets to rcmain at the institution until the
case is passed upon by the governor and
his chief adviser.
This latest outbreak has caused several
of the employees to tsld. and it is reported
on good authority that the custodian of
the dlpso ward. Marshall of Franklin
county, whose wife is also employed at the
Institution. is doing work from from salts
factory, and It is also reported he gave
ous the information that he did not care
to come to Lincoln to work, but to simply
hold down job.
Several nights ago the governor was en-
tertained at dinner at the asylum and in
his honor flowers were brought from town
and the various wards decorated with them,
Notwithstanding the asylum supports a
greenhouse.

is likely that Mr. Guffy, who It will be re-
membered was the subject of a speech by
Mr.. Bryan last summer, is at the bottom
of It all. Anyhow, Governor Shallenberger
has been mentioned favorably as demo-
cratic presidential timber. The mention
was made in a Pennsylvania daily paper
OF some proportions, a marked copy OF
which was received at the office of the
governor this morning.
With Shsllenberger the presidential pos
slbillty and Metcalfe the senatorial possi-
bility there is some speculation as to where
MT. Bryan is going to get on during the
next few years.
While the outcome Of the Shallenberger
presidential boom Is not much In doubt, it
is now believed TO have been the inspira-
tion which brought forth the humble letter
from one Colonel Charles r. flaming, who
had an inside tip on the news.
Governor Shallenberger has thought that

observed republican Minnesota has been
carried three times by Swedish demo-
crat and perhaps this Pennsylvania paper
has hopes that republican Pennsylvania
might be carried by a Pennsylvania DUTCH
man.
