SO NO CONFIRMATION CAME.
City Council Takes Another Whack at Voting
ing for Furay's Successor.
GIBBON AND FURAY PUT ON FILE ,
Questions of IjIcIitliiK nml City Hall
Furniture Given n FcwlJrief
Moments Then the
Fireworks.
The council held a special mcotlnc last
evening and Major Furay is still a member
'of the Hoard of Public Works. IIo Is simply a
uoldovor , however , despite the exertions of
seven republicans nnd President Lowry ,
who aid their level best to
confirm hU appointment by the mayor , but
eight democrats kiid Mr. Ilruncr outvoted
thc'm , nun the appointment was finally
placed on tllo alongside that of W. A. L.
Glubou. According to the president , a now
appointment of Mr. Gibbon will now bo
forthcoming , and when It docs como well ,
uncertain things ) aro'cspcclally doubtful in
those ontl-olectlon days.
Seventeen members were in their Reals
when President Lowry rapped the special
session to order to tuko another whirl at tbo
clectrla light question and the matter of fur-
nlsblng now furniture and tlxturos for the
city tiull.
At the start Mr. Elsassor was Imbued with
the idea that there was fSO.OOO on hand to pay
for street lighting , but Mr. Davis informed
him that onlv $3UUO was available for estab
lishing now lights this year.
Mr , Chuffco declared that the city was too
stingy toward tlio outlying portions. The
residents of tuo suburbs ouuht at
least to got plenty of ligbt.
Ho moved that the location of now electric
llgbUs In place of the old gasoltno lights bo
left to the gas inspector , and the motion pre
vailed.
The commlttco on public buildings ana
property sent in the following tabu
lated report on bids for supplying
new furniture for the city ball :
Ketcham Furniture company , Toledo , fJI-
72I.M1 ; A. H. Andrews & Co. , Chicago , $27-
tM ! ; Conant Hros. Furniture company , To-
Jedo , Sll.orS.SO : Jobu F. Coots , Omaha.
$ -8,707.
Mr Davis thought the bids had not boon
correctly opened nor had the commlttco done
its work right , as there was so nitioli dllTcr-
cnco botwecn the highest and lowest bidder.
Mr. Osthoff Insisted that all was rlcht , but
explained that the Conant company had not
planned for the entire building. Ho snld that
the furniture would bo suen before the con
tract was let.
Mr. licchol was positive that the city
would have to stand by any contract made by
the council , and there would bo funds to nay
for It.
Mr. Moroarty had a llttlo roast cooked
up for the bonollt of Mr. ChalTeo , unU un
loaded it.
Mr. Davis gave his positive opinion that
not onu ot the bidders would nccopt a condi
tional contract ami wanted the matter
deferred until the bonds were voted.
Mr. OstholT moved to refer the whole matter -
tor , bids , plans and all , to tbo commlttca of
the whole to examine next Monday morning
nt 0 o'clock.
Mr. Davis was sure that tlio bonds would
carry If people only thought to vote on tbo
question , but feared that they would forget
It , and under tbo Australian ballot law auon-
vote counted uguinst the question.
Mr. Dechol said Unit If they fulled to carry
n special election could bo called In fourdays.
That settled the matter , nnd tlo question
wont to the committee of the wbolo.
The rules governing special meetings wnro
suspended and the council proceeded to other
business , after President Lowry bad an
nounced that the council would moot at the
clerk's oftlco Monday morning and take the
plans aud tubulated bids uud start out on
Ibolr perigrlnatlons among the furniture
wen loaded for bear.
The commlttco which was appointed to
confer with the county commissioners ro-
portca that the county oflleials would pay
$0,1411 , or ono-half of the cost of oigbtv-two
election booths , the city and school district
to pay each one-fourth. Tbo report was
adopted after the councilmcn baa individ
ually and collectively expressed their con-
lldcnco in the commissioners to do the square
thing when it was found that it would bo
necessary to purchase eighty-eight booths
instead of eighty-two.
Mr. Davis denied that the Iron booths con-
ractod for by the council were Incomplete as
had been published. Mr. Osthoff gave it out
as bis four-ply opinion that the report was a
newspaper fake , and Mr. Spccht said that
there were seven windows to each booth and
they were complete in every detail.
Mr. Donnelly reported that tbo committee
to whom was referred the mayor's ' appoint
ment of W. A. L. Gibbon and Major Furay
as members of the Board of Public Works
was ucablo to make any report owiug to
unsettled points of law.
It was moved to place the appointments on
file , but Mr. Morearty wanted them sent back
to the mayor.
Mr. Chuffco raised the point of order that
Major Furay bad been confirmed , and could
not bo removed by the council or mayor un
less charges were preferred , but President
Lowry couldn't ' see it that way.
Mr. Gibbons' appointment was placed on
fllo.
fllo.Mr.
Mr. Davis moved to confirm the appoint
ment of Major Fumy , and the motion was
seconded by Moroarty and Elsassor , just
to bring it before the house.1'
On tlio call of nyos and nays both voted
against it , however , aud the confirmation
wus snowed under to the tune of 'J to s.
Chaffeo , Davis und Beohel changed their
votes before the announcement wns made ,
so as to baontitlcd to move a reconsideration ,
which they did in short order , Mr. Chaffoo
stating that us a republican ho wanted the
democrats to persevere In their course , but
ho wanted to clinch the thing so that there
could bo no mistake.
The voting wns responsible for an epidemic
of explanations , nnd the president declared
that ho would hnvo to Iteop in style. Ho
snld ho know that the mayor wanted the ap
pointment of Major Furay rejected so that
ho could again send In the name of Mr. Gib
bon. Ho thought it very small on the part
of the mayor to plead tbo baby
act und want tbo council to
reject n man whom bo had
appointed slmplv to splto the council. So far
as ho was personally concerned , ho was not
elected by democrats , not by a long shot , but
ho had gene Into u caucus \\ltli the demo
cratic members to plan for democratic up-
polutinonts. Ho bad declined to promise ,
however , to hold out for thouppointmcnt of cer
tain individuals , Ho know thatthomayorhad
promised to notify the democratic members
before sending In uppolntmonts , out had not
done .so , nnd had sent In the names of reputa
ble gentleman just to ship the council nnd had
scon them rolectod. Ho did not like tha
mayor's way of doing business and would
therefore vote to conllrm Major Furay ,
Mr. Donnollv voted the other way simply
because ho had signed an agreement to do BO ,
and would stick to It as long us the sun con
tinued to glvo torth Its rays by dav or the
electric lights to slzzlo by night , The vote
stood :
Ayes nochol , lUutner , Chaffeo , Davis ,
McLoarlo , Olson , Spocht , Mr. Prosldont b.
Nays Urunor , Hurdlsb , Cooper , Conway ,
Donnelly , EUassor , Moroarty , OstholT.'Tul-
tlo U.
Tlio meeting then adjourned , and the jubi
lant democrats slapped cacti other on the
shoulder aud declared that they had lirunor
dead sure and didn't cara n continental
whether Lowry persisted In his determina
tion to buck the mayor or not.

Ho Will Sign ChcokH.
Dotcctivos Savage aud Dempsey gathered
their old friend and regular customer ,
Thomas Johnson , into the fold aguln yester
day afternoon.
Johnson has been absent for about six
mouths , but Immediately upon his arrival
commenced bis old trick of obtalntcg money
and- goods under false pretenses.
His plun is to go into a store , make a pur
chase and offer bis own check in payment.
The check is never good , and Johnson's
mania for signing them has kept him in
prison n crcat deal of the time. Tbe prisoner
served a term in the Iowa penitentiary for
forgery and has been in prison hero 3113' num
ber of times.
COliUY ON CANDIDATES.
Wlmtthc Assistant Attorney General
Hits to Say.
"Edgprton will bo a very weak candidate
for the supreme court In Gage nnd adjoining
counties , " said Hon. W. L. Colby , assistant
attorney general , last night to a reporter for
Tin : BIB. : "Ho will not poll the local
strength of the alliance ticket down thoro.
The people know him aud they consider him
incompetent for the high nnd responsible
position he aspires to occupy. "
Speaking of the gentlemen who are promi
nently mentioned us the coming candidates
on the republican ticket for the position of
supreme judge , Mr. Colby said : "Mr. Heeso
would run well. Ho has a great many
friends In our part of the stato. Judge Post
of Columbus Is a good man. but ho is not
well known in Gage and adjoining counties.
Ho would not run so well as some other men
I could mention simply because the people
down In the southeastern part of the state do
not know him. "
With reference to the chances for . [ mlgo
Cobb , Mr. Colby snld : "Judge Cobb is well
known , particularly among tlio old soldiers ,
and ho would catch a great many farmers'
votes. "

tion , county commissioner , county surveyor
mid tor clerk of the district court.
Long before the Hour appointed for the
convention to begin its worit the hulls and
stairways leading to Gate City hull we're lined
with prominent independent workers. John
Joffeout , chulrman ot the county central com
mittee , was there with the usual supply of
earnestness and convincing argument.
Dr. Cram walked uptlio stairs under a now
silk Hat and llrmly asserted that ho would not
bo a candidate for coroner , but his friends
declared that ho was altogether too modest.
Attorney V. O. Strlo'.iler bjundoJ up the
stairs early in the game and inform 3J the re
porter that ho was simply trying to catch on
to the drift of opinion and had not hoard a
thing about the prouablo candidates.
.lames IClnnoy was busy arraugine the
seatH in the hall and prolodaod the blankest
hortof innocence with regard to thaprobablo
action of the nioctluir.
"Klnnoy Is a candidate for sheriff , " sold
one of the country ilologates as lie watched
the labor leadtir patiently lugging some
chairs into the hall , >
It was generally conceded Unit the county
precincts would bo p'ormltted ' to select the
candidate for countyjoiimlssionor. ;
Shortly before the convention was called
to order the name of Dan llurr of Omaha was
being tnllced of for the olllcoof commissioner.
John Qulnn , Mr. Easton and other promi
nent labor loaders \vcl-u engaged In earnest
tcto-a-tcto in one cot'mir of the room for some
tlmo prior to the call of order.
The hall was llllou With delegates and pol
iticians , with u lar ' 0'sprlnkllng of interested
farmers and mechanics.
Allan Itouf tin Finance.
The convention wa * called to order nt 2flO :
by J. Joffcoat , chairman of the con city central
committee. Anson 1C. lilgclow , the secretary ,
road the call for the convention.
S. U. Hrowster of Unlo-i product was
elected as. temporary chairman , Mr. Brows-
ter was nominated us "a man with but ouo
arm , but mightier with that one arm than
many other men with two arms. "
Mr. Hrowster said upon being chosen as
chairman that ho believed that old party tlos
were In a condition to bo easily savored ana
just ut this tlmo the Independents should
take advantage of the situation to make
friends and outtd uu a strong und effective
organization.
On motion of J. Jeff coat a committee of five
on credentials was appointed.
The following gentlemen were appointed :
Lewis Ihms , 'A. I > . Hedges. Mr. SVllcott ,
George McUuffy and Anson R Blgolow.
\Vhllo the convention was waiting for the
committee on credentials to do Us work
Allen Root was called upon for a speech.
" 1 presume you nco.t no doctrinal sermons
about the Independent party , " said Mr. Hoot ,
"but I want to say that every man in this
party should buclclo on the harness for a
long aicgo. It will take us u long tlmo to un
learn wnat wo hnvo been tuueht amiss. Wo
have been educated , as a people , erroneously ,
upon the question of taxation. The poor man
pays nn unequal share of the taxes. Then
there is another question that wo have been
educated wrong on. Wo hnvo boon led astray
for over twenty years upon financial legisla
tion. No man could save himself from bank
ruptcy if ho should follow the example of the
government.
"As n nation wo have boon
paying interest , on what , wo owe ,
and the people Uavo boon paying Interest on
the Currency Issued to tho'national banks be-
aldos. Thcso banks make money by accumu
lating interest upon what they owe the gov
ernment. Wo have boon educated up to the
idea that loaning money is n logiti.nato . busi
ness , but it is u mistake. Every man in a
community is personally interested in the
payment of the interest that any ouo man in
the community has to pay for borrowed
tnonoy. Wo are skinning the farms of the
state of Nebraska for the purpose of piling
up largo sums of money in Lombard street.
"
Then those capitalists" come over hero and
buy up the very farms that you and I have
paid for In the interest wo have boon obliged
to pay for the money wo have borrowed. "
Tlio rural old Roman was frequently in
terrupted by applause. Ho declared that
the only legitimate uo for money was in
triulo and commerce and the loaning of
money nt hiijh rates of interest was a high
handed system of robbery.
Hoisting the KallrnndH.
Then touching upon the state board ot
transportation Mr. Hoot .said : " L'hoso men
on that board remind mo of three old setting
hens with no eggs. Look at the unties they
have cut before the people ot Nabriskii.
They have made consummate asics of thorn-
solves. The independent party wants
nothing to do with the outlit , only to sit on
them good and hard , "
The speaker then rambled along over a
variety of subjects , declaring that all the
railroads and telegraph wires should bo
owned by the government. Ho said that
\vhilu the superintendent of tin ) Halumoro &
Ohio road got JIOO.OOO a year , the engineers
who handled the trains got but $ l,5'U ' , and
yet the engineers were of vastly more im
portance to the public than the superintend
ent.
ent."If all the railroad presidents In the United
States should din tonight , " said the speaker ,
"tho consequence would simply bo u lot of
funerals , and the roads would move on Just
tlio same : uut if the engineers should nil die.
ovary1 train would stop ut once and stund
there until competent men could bo found to
man the engines. "
Getting Down ( o Hiisineis.
The commlttco on credentials cnmo In at
that moment and the How of oratory was
shut off.
Mr. Hibbard from Waterloo nmdo a , vigor
ous kick for u more liberal recognition of the
count IT precincts. Delegates Irom the coun
try precincts were given the power to cast
the full vote of ull the delegates from the
country.
Jamas Klnnoy offered a resolution intended
to cut off ull effort at fusion with the two old
parties In making the nominations. The rot-
oiutlon further stated that no man who had
over hold ofllco by reason of the sntfrago of
either of the old parties should bo recognized
or nominated by the convention.
T. H. Mlnnhan , Allan Hoot and others
were enthusiastically In favor of the senti
ment contained in the resolution but Mr.
Hoot thought the resolution win entirely un
necessary.
V. O. Strlcklor was also opposed to the
passage of the resolution.
Anson K. lilirelow undo n ringing speech
In opposition to the resolution , saying that it
was n trick and u gag uud should bo Ulckod
out of the window. The resolution was Ingloriously -
gloriously defeated.
Just n Kipplc.
A committee on resolutions consisting of
Denver , Hrlghatn , Joft'coixt. Hoot and Hibbard
was appointed.
And then the elephant broke loose. Some
of the delegates wanted to hear from the
committee on resolution ? before any nomina
tions were mado. Mr. T. II. Mlnlhan made
n ringing speech In which ho claimed that
there was no need of having anything to do
with the old parties. They should bo utterly
Ignored ,
Mr. Strlckler said : " 1 would llko to ask
wliat wo came hero for ! If wo liavo not
como ticro to nomlauto candidates , what did
wo como fort"
Mr. llnscull llriiiarkctl.
During the recess Isaac Hnscall was called
to the platform , audhoharrangucd the crowd
for half an hour upon the financial problem.
Ho smashed the bankers several times for
the alleged robbery that ho claimed thov
were Interested In. lie annihilated the load
ers of the democratic and republican parties
along the lines of silver coinage and the na
tional bank system. Ho said that the thrco
departments of the state government luid
boon boiled down Into the judiciary. The
Judiciary of the supreme court had
gotten to the point wnero they would
decide that if was but and but was shall ,
anil they would wheedle the larmors and the
laboring people out of nil their rights.
lie advised the independents to get the
farmers and laboring men united upon all the
great questions and then they would sweep
the country.
Finally the committee on resolutions came
in and reported the following as a platform :
The resolutions adopted nt the district
judicial convention a few weeks ego were
adopted in full and In addition the lollowlnir
resolutions were passed : That all candi
dates should bo required to endorse unequiv
ocally the national platform adopted at Cin
cinnati by the people's party.
The action of nil persons wno had tried to
enforce the eight hour law and of the independent
pendent members of the legislature who were
instrumental in the passage of the law was
endorsed.
And Thou They \oinliiiitoil.
Nominations then being declared In order ,
Mr. D. G. Denverot Omaha and Samuel I' .

The resolution brought Mr. Sudborougn to
his lout with a protest against its adoption.
Ho wus proud that lie worked for u corpora
tion , ami kicked because he hud been fre
quently churned with doing political work la
corporate behalf. IIo declared that Ins com
pany had never been mixed up In any political
lobbying. Ho was positive that the resolu
tions were drawn In favor of u certain caudl-
date , and ho wus opposed to them for that
reason. He thought the matter should prop
erly go before the county convention.
Mr. Van Dorn nrgucd that Inasmuch as the
committee win to appoint the dclccutos to
the state convention und therefore do away
with a county convention to bo hold for that
purpose , the resolutions were properly la
pliico before the county central committee.
JR.Mr , hudborough perused the resolutions
again and said Una ho found only two ot
throe lines objectionable and wanted tha fol.
lowing ciuuso Htr'cken ' out : "and whoso
past career is the best proof of his abaoluto
freedom from taint or suggestion uf bins ia
favor of corporation ! ) , "
The motion to adopt the resolutions as road
was amended by him so us to strike out that
clause , and the amended motion curried , the
chairman remarking that ttio resolutions
woie bread enough to cover u good man with
out thu olTotifilng clause.
The matter ol llxlng n date for holding the
county convention then came up. but tbo
members decided that thera need bo no hurry
about It , as they were In favor of a latu con
vention , so It wan allowed to go over , und th
committee adjourned for ono week.
