O.1IUIA , Neb. , Sept. 27.-The democratic -
cratic state convention met in this city
yesterday , being called to order by
Euclid Martin , chairman of the state
central committee.
Ed Smith of Douglas was made tern-
porary chairman.
The various committees having been
appointed the convention took a recess
for one hour.
On reassembling , Chairman MeMani-
gal from the committee on credentials
presented his report. The committee
reported but three contests , from
Otoe , Thayer and Madison counties.
The Bryan delegates from the last two
named counties were admitted without
controversy.
As to Otoe county , the committee
recommended that each faction be
given nine delegates. The convention
adopted the report , but everything was
not satisfactory to the delegates from
Otoe. D. P. Roll' , as chairman of the
administration delegates from that
county , said that he and his colleagues
would not accept the terms of the corn-
promise. He said they were either entitled -
titled to the full representation or none
at all , and consequently he for one did.
not propose to stand it. Whereupon
Rolf and the administration delegates
walked out of the haiL
The committee on permanent organization -
ization recommended the election of
W. H. Oldham of Buffalo as the permanent -
nent chairman of the convention , with
D. B. Honin of Douglas , F. J. Morgan
o Cass and C. E. Apgar of Adams as
secretaries. The recommendation was
adopted and the permanent chairman
took the platform.
Robert Clcgg of Richardson moved
the appointment of a committee of
seven on resolutions. The chair appointed -
pointed as such Clegg of Richardson ,
Smyth of Douglas , Thomson of Dodge ,
Dahlman of Dawes , Kellager of Ne-
maha , Stevens of Adams and Marvin of
Oage.
Edwards of Lancaster moved that W.
.
3. . Bryan be nominated for. United
States senator and a roll call was demanded -
manded , which proceeded for a while ,
whereupon WT. H. Thompson of Hall
county claimed that there was no opposition -
position and he moved that the roll call
be dispensed with and that Bryan be
made the democratic candidate for
United States senator by acclamation.
Every county represented cast its vote
for Bryan , and Kitchen of Douglas ,
Dahlman of Dawes and Thompson of
Hall were delegated to conduct the
nominee to the platform. Mr. Bryan ,
however , had temporarily withdrawn
from the convention.
C. J. Sinyth offered the following
resolution :
We fully endorse the course of Hon.
W. J. Bryan in congress , and we corn-
pliment Senator Allen and Congressmen
McKeighen and Kern on the work done
by them in behalf of the people of Ne-
braska.
The resolution was adopted after a
spirited debate.
The next business in order being
nominations the ticket given at the
head of this column was chosen. Five
of the nominees are those of the populist -
list state ticket. For the offices or see-
retary of state , state treasurer and state
auditor the convention nominated
democrats.
TIlE PLATFORM.
We , the rank and and file of the democracy -
mocracy of Nebraska , at last in convention -
tion assembled , send greeting to the
common people 'who constitute the
strength of the democracy of the na-
tion.
tion.We renew our allegiance to the principles -
ciples taught by Thomas Jefferson and
courageously defended by Andrew
Jackson ; and we demand that the
great political problems of today be
solved by theapplication of these principles -
ciples to present conditions.
Believing that a public official is a
public servant and deserving of praise
or censure according to his acts. we
commend President Cleveland for his
honest and economical administration
of the government , and dissent from
such of his financial views as are repugnant -
nant to the teachings of the fathers
and opposed to the welfare of our
people.
Believing that "all men are created
equal , " and that all are alike entitled
to the consideration of government , we
denounce as unjust and unjustifiable
the protective tariff system which ,
through the instrumentality of class
legislation , robs the many for the benefit -
efit of the few. We demand a tariff
for revenue only , and point to the Wilson -
son bill as it passed the house of representatives -
sentatives as a reasonable fulfillment
of the promises made by the democratic
party in the campaign of 1S92. While
we do not condone the acts of those
democratic senators who modified the
Wilson bill in the senate , we accept
the bill as it finally passed as the best
measure attainable under the circumstances -
stances , cud as a great improvement
over the McKinley law.
We especialy ] approve of the income
tax and favor its retention as a permanent -
nent part of our revenue system.
We endorse the language used by
Hon. John U. Carlisle in 1S7S , when he
denounced the "conspiracy" to destroy
silver money as "the most gigantic
crime of this or any other age. " and
we agree witj him that "the consummation -
mation of such a scheme would ultimately -
mately entail more miseryupon the human -
man race than all the wars , pestilenees
and famines that ever occurred in the
history of the world. " We are nc
willing to be parties to such a crime.
and in order to undue the wrong already -
ready done and to prevent the further
appreciation of money , we favor the
immediate restorationof the free and
- .
'
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the presentratio of 16 to 1 , not waiting
for the aid or consent of any other nation -
tion on earth :
We regard the right to issue money
as an attribute of sovereignty and believe -
lieve that all money needed to supplement -
ment the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution , and to make the dollar so
stable in its purchasing power that it
will defraud neither debtor nor crdi-
tor , should be issued by the general
government as the greenbacks were
iss.ied ; that such money should be redeemable -
deemable in coin , the government to
exercise the option by redeeming in
gold or silver , whichever is most convenient -
venient for the government. We believe -
lieve that all money issued by the government -
ernment , whether gold , silver or paper ,
should 'be made a full legal tender for
all debts , public and private , and that
no citizen should be permitted to demonetize -
monetize by contract that which the
government makes money by law.
We are in favor of the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people , and in case the senate
refuses to allow an amendment which
will secure the dfrect election of senator -
tor , we are in favor of calling acon-
vention oi states to submit such an
amendment for ratification by the
states.
' \Te are in favor of a constitutional
amendment making the president mel-
igible for re-election.
We are in favor of the operation of
the telegraph in connection with the
postal system.
We are in favor of a liberal pension
policy.
We are in favor of the arbitration of
differences between large corporate
employers and their numerous cm-
ployers.
We are in favor of the foreclonire , as
soon as due , of the liens of the government -
mont against the Union Pacific aid
other Pacific railroads.
Believing that the duty of the representative -
sentative is to represent the will and interests -
terests of his constituents , we condemn
as undemocratic any attempt by can-
cus dictation to prevent the representative -
tive from voicing the sentiments of his
people upon public questions.
We believe in the rightof every mdi-
vidual to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience , and we
condemn as unAinerh.an and contrary
to the spirit of our institutions any attempt -
tempt to apply a religious test to the
citizen or to the official. We appeal. to
all democrats who may have been led
into political hostility to the members
of any church to remember the priri-
ciples of religious liberty promulgated
by Thomas Jefferson and defended by
the party which he organized.
We approve of the maximum rate bill
passed by the last legislature , and a-
vol. its re-enactment if it is de lared
void by the court on accoun t of irregularities -
larities which can be remembered.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the platform George P. Marvin of Gage
county and editor of the Beatrice Dein-
ocrat , presented a minority report upon
the money plank. It was a follows :
WTe hold to the use of both gold and
silver , without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage , but
the following unit of coinage of both
must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable -
able value or be adjusted through international -
ternational agreement , or by such safeguards -
guards of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power of every
dollar at times in the markets and in
the payment of debts.
The resolution was tabled and the
platform as before given adopted.

We indorse the principles of faith as

platform adopted at Chicago in 1892 ,
including the money plank , and we accept -

plank by Grover CIevelan as a sound
interpretation , and insist that every
dollar issued or coined by the government -
ment shall be as good as every other
dollar. While. the Wilson tariff bill

THE PEAR' ! EXPEDITION.
The Relief Party and Mrs. Peary and
Baby iteach rhuladelphi.t.
PnILADELPUIA , Sept. 27.-Tile little
steamer Falcon , with the Poary relief -
lief party and members ofthe expedition -
tion on board , arrived yesterday after-
noon. Long before. the vessel reached
her moorings thousands of people
had gathered at tile wharves ji the
vicinity to welcome the explorers. As
soon as the Falcon was tied to the
dock , Mrs. Peary , with her baby and
an Esquimaux girl , whom Mrs. Peary
brought with her , were eseorted
aboard a train for Washington , the
home of her mother. The brave little
WOtIiafl showed plainly by her man-
ncr that She was much chagrined because -
cause of her husband's determination
to remain in the Arctic regions. She
declares she is going north again
next summer and bring him back to
civilization if she has to drag him.
Commander Bryantwho had charge
of tile relief partY , says the expedition -
tion was a great success.
"We made many valuable collections -
tions , the ethnological specimens being -
ing very rare. I think we have the
finest series of photographs of life
auth scenes in the Arctic country that
were ever taken. "
All on board were very reticent. It
is said an embargo has been placed on
their lips for live ( lays or longer , and
it will therefore be difficult to get information -
formation about tile trip. It was intimated -
timated by one of the men with
Peary that several who came away
would have remained with the cx-
plorer in the frozen North but for the
scarcity of food.
When asked if it was true the cx-
plorer and his party had been corn-
pelled to eat whale blubber , the men
declined to either confirm or deny the
story.
It is believed , however , that Peary
is threatened with a lack of food that
may become serious. The Falcon will
itiad with coal here and return un-
mediately to St. Johns.
REMAINS OF COLGATE FOUND.
A Leg and Thigh Bono Alt That Was
Left of the Deserted Cook.
MISSOULA , Mont , Sept. 27.-The
Missoulan contains a sensational story
of the recovery and burial of the remains -
mains of George Colgate , deserted
cook of tile notorous hunting party
headed by William A. Carlin , the son
of General Carlin , late commander of
the department of the Columbia.
Tile discovery was made about
August 23 by Lieutenant Elliott , eight
miles below the spot where the desertion -
sertion occurred on the Clearwater
river. All that remained of Colgate's
body was a thigh bone and one leg ,
and these were mangled and gnawed
by wild beasts infesting that region.
It is presumed the balance of the remains -
mains were carried away by the animals -
mals into mountain fastnesses. At
the same spot also was found the
match box , fishing lines and other
articles identified as Colgate's prop-
erty.
The remains were interred in Lower
Hot Springs , on the Middle fork of
the Clearwater. Lieutenant Elliott
was sent out on this mission by the
present commander of the department -
ment of tile Columbia , to which official -
ficial he will make a full report ,
there being many points tending to
prove Colgate's desertion was cowardly -
ardly in the extreme.
IMPERIAL EDICT ISSUED.
ilie Emperor of China Expresses Regret -

token of this regret tile emperor has
ordered that posthumous honors be

favors have been bestowed upon his
family. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

BUSINESS REVIEW.
What Bradstreet's Agency Has to Make
Public.
NEw YoRK , Oct. 1.-Bradstreet's
says : Tile feature of general trada
throughout the country is found in
nioderate reaction during the veek ,
more particularly in the volumes of
purchases of staples W'est , where
trade has been quite active and at
Eastern points in the course of prices ,
the week failing to show any upward
movement of note in this line ,
and. in the check to business -
ness South , together with damage -
age to the rice and orange crops.
Leading jobbers at distributing points
which for a mouth past have reported
relatively most favorably concerning
the course of business-Baltimore , St.
Louis , Nashville and Chicago-send
modified advices as to activity and
the bright outlook. Wheat has made
another "lowest price" and Indian
corn and oats have both declined.
Sugar and coffee record lower figures ,
and another lowest price for cotton
has had an unfavorable influence on
the tone of business at important
Southern markets , particula.ily in
view of the activity of the receipts of
that staple.
London wool sales have proved disappointing -
appointing to those who predicted or
anticipated heavy purchasing for the
American market and rapid advances
in prices. On this side quotations are
off one cent , fleeces particularly being
weak. There is better trade in terri
tories and Australia.
HER DRESS BULLET PROOF.
Captain Maunrl Fires Shots at Ills Sister
In the Presence of 1toportar.
CHICAGO , Oct -Captain Manard ,
the English marksman , last night
gave a prIvate exhibition to
newspaper men of his new bullet
proof dress. Tie used a Martin-henry
rifle. Tile first test was at a piece of
steel about one-ei'ltth of an inch in
thickness. The cartridges which the
captain intended to use were handed
to the members of the press for safe-
keeping. The first of these was fired
at tile steel plate and the result was
a jagged hole.
"Shall I fire at tile plate or the
lady this tune ? " asked Captain Man-
ard , and there was a chorus of "At
the plate. " Again the bullet plowed.
its way through tile steel.
Those present rdfused a second time
to ask the young lady , viio was Man-
ard's sister , to Iose as a mark , but
the captain told her to step forward
and she did so without hesi-
tation. his sister held a pack
of white cards in front
of her body and Manard fired. Miss
1anard moved just a trifle as a result
of the shock , but the smile never left
her face that had come to it at the re-
lusal of those present to ask her to
stand in front of tile rifle.
Other tests were made with the
regulation Springfield rifle in use in
the American army and with the
same result.
