Washington hall was densely crowded by
2 p. m. when the republican county conven
tion was called lo order by the chairman , O.
11 Mercer , who , after malting n few remarks
conccrnlnj ; Ihe Impending campaign , closed
his brief addro-s by tendering his resignation
ns chairman of the county central commltleo.
For nearly seven yonra ho had served Iho
parly In iho capacily of chairman of clly or
counly commlltco to the best of his ability
nnd w'lth unswerving lldollty to each and
every candidate whom the party had nom
inated. Ha thought. Ita filling time to sur
render the burden nnd paid n high compli
ment to the zeal nnd Integrity of' his co-
laborers on the committee , who were
actuated solely for Iho best InterosU of tbo
party and without mercenary motlvoj.
Secretary Jenkins then read the call and
tbo convention proceeded to the election of a
temporary chairman.
Savngo Temporary Chairman.
Mr. Christian Spocht nominated Mr. J. L.
Carr , und Mr , D. L. Johnson of West Omaha
nominated Colonel E. P. Savau-o of South
Omahn for temporary chairman.
The ballot for temporary chairman was
then taken by n call of Iho wards and pre
cincts. The country precincts wont almost
solid for Savage , but Iho wards of Omaha
polled a heavy vote for Carr. The ballot
Blood as follows : Savage , 11 ! ) ; Core , ! " . The
election of Colonel Savaco was made unan
imous upon motion of Mr : Slcnbcrg.
Colonel Savugo was escorted to the stand
nnd said :
( icntlrmcn , Friends and Follow Kopubll-
mins : This Is a surprise to mo. A man must
nocossiir.ly feel proud of Biich nn honor .is
this , and 1 am particularly pleased to see tlio
t-tcclul honor that you have bestowed unon
Himlh Umnlri. ti\pplanso ] . Now umtlemon ,
lot us piocced In an utderly and busincss-llkn
manner and show our friends , the enemy , that
we linow how lo conduct , onr business In a
manner alto-oilier superior to that adopted
nt their lute and notable convention In
Omaha.
Mr. Harry Counsman and Mr. Charles
Potter wcro elected ns temporary secretaries.
There being no contesting delegations It
was deemed unnecessary to have n cotnmit-
tco on credentials. Tbo secretary Was In.
Btructed to read the list of delegates as pro
, Bunted by the various delegations.
About Admitting I'roMc.s.
There was some discussion ever tuo quos
tlon of admltllng proxies. Mr. J. L. Web
ster moved that all proxies which were sat
isfactory to the remainder of the delegation
from those particular wards or precincts uo
admitted to scats in the convention.
Mr. Specht opposed the admission of
proxies under any consideration.
Mr. Ourley Ihought llml it would work a
hardship upon some of the wards. "Mr.
13echel of the Fourth Is out of the city , " said
Mr. CJurloy , "nnd ho has given his proxy to
ns { rood a republican us there Is m'Uouglas
county , Mr.-Prank E. Moores. He ought to
bo given n seat In thU convention. "
Mr. Sol Prince was opposed to the admls
sion of proxies. Several other delegates
wcro stoutly opposed lo the admission of any
proxies.
Mr. Buldrldeo moved that the delegates
elected nt the primaries as returned with
credentials to the secretary bo declared the
delegates entitled to scats In the convention.
The motion was carried nnd the secretary
proeoodod lo rend the list of delegates pro-
Kcnled bv the various ward ana precinct
delegation leaders.
And then the proxy question came up
again. There were something like dozen
proxies , and after a long wrangle It was
Dually decided to allow iho delegations hav
ing vacancies lo appoint proxies to llll these
vacancies.
Mr. ICuhn wanted the gentlemen who held
proxies to be seated ,
Mr. Stenbcrg was opposed to the Idea ol
permitting men who had secured proxies out
X of their own words to hnvb seats In the con
vention. Ho thought that the wholesale
business of buying proxies should bo sat
upon.
( jurloy thought that If the proxies were
tntisfactory to the ward delegations they
should be satisfactory to the convention.
Mr. Spocht s polio vigorously In opposition
to the wlml.islou of proxies in a wholesale
manner. His remarks were heartily ap
plaudcd.
Mr. Powell was opposed to seating men
who held proxies from ouuldu ot their
wards. Ho Ihought thai Iho dclogatlrns
should be allowed to select any proxies from
tholr'own wardc that were needed lo llll Iho
delegation , Mr. Powell moved nn amend
incut lo that etfect and It was carried. The
motion to allow the delegations to llll the
vacancies as amended was carried. All dele
gallons that could not ugroo upon thu proxies
necessary to llll tha vacancies wcro per
mitted to cast the full vote of the dologi ' .ion.
Frank E. Moores , C. A. Potter , K A
Phllloo , J. B. Wutkins , Fred M. Smith and
U. H. Armstrong wcro given seats in iho
convention as proxy holders.
I'riH-ci-illiiK' In Hii | nrss.
On motion of Mr. " .Vhltmoro the temporary
ary organization was made permanent.
Mr , Charles KlgntterAmoved thai the con
vention proccod to select n candidate for
( lolcgaio-at-lbrgo to be nominated ut the
state convention , and to have thu unanimous
support of thci Doticlas county delegation.
Mr. Eniist Stuht was opposed to the lat
ter clauseIn iho resolution , nnd in addition
to that ha thought the countyconvention had
no authority to select n delegate-nt-largo to
Iho national convention ,
GiU'ley offered an amendment to proceed
with a ballot simply expressing the preference
encenf the deli-pates In the convention for a
candidate for dclcgatc-at-largo bcforo thu
into convention , The amendment was ac
cepted by Mr. Elguttor and was adopted.
Ami then ihoro was a lllllo breeze. Mr.
J , W. Fiirnas of Iho Eighth ward said ho
would certainly oppcso any man for doli'cato
to the Minneapolis ccmvcntlo'n who did not
llrst como before the convention and agree to
use his Inlluonco and put forth his utmost
elTort to secure iho reiiomluallon of
President Harrison , Tlio word HarrUou
was not moro than half ivay out of Mr.
Furnas1 mouth when a shout of approval
rent the ulr that could have been hoard
blocks away. Some nf the delegates throw
up tliclr lints and three rousing cheers wcra
pivoii for the president. And then thu con
vention got ready to ballot upon Us cholco
for delegato-at-liuvc.
Mr. Kiwi-miter Culled 1'or.
Jiisl before the ballot for a preference was
taken Councilman Munro nrosoaml said that ,
inasmuch as U had been reported on the
s trout that Mr , Hosowattr had snid that ho
would not support the cholco of the conven
tion if that choice happened to bo Mr. Wob-
itcr , and that it had also been reported thai
Mr. Hoioivutur had said thai ho would not
tuvport the cholco of stuto or national con
ventions unless they nominated men to suit
hiir.i therefore ho thouphl thai Mr , Hoso-
water should bo requested to coice before iho
convention and rxplula whether or nottlicsa
things were true.
There WHS n general call for Mr. Hose-
water und ho soon cumo forward , and , taking
tt position In front ft the platfcrui upou u
chair , ho said :
Gentlemen of the Contention : 1 hare DC en

nend that the convention fond a delegation

ilnusc.l
Then .Mr. Webster was called out and ho
told iho convention that ho was In favor of
lomlnatlnp Mr. Harrison nnd Intended to
vote the republican ticket always and from
ho top to the bottom.
The balloting b2gan and . It was soon seen
that there was but two names In the race ,
hose o' John L. Webster and Mr , Edward
Hosowatcr.
Anl < cil Information nnd flot It.
t
When the Fifth ward was reached Mr.
Kynor arose and said that his delegation de
sired to have Mr. Hoaowater state to the
convention whether ho Intended to support
the whole republic. ticket , national ,
state , county and city , nnd whether or not
in would make a light on any ot the noml-
ices If they did not suit him. Mr. Hoscwator
was again called to the front anu mounting a
chrilr as bcforo ho said :
I have nnvcr been afraid to face any crowd
or U ) answer any iucslions | that have been
iskcd miI want , lo call your attention to
the fuel that In the convention which noinl-
uitcd James A. ( larlleld for president of Iho
United .States there was a resolution Intro-
luted to bind the Delegates to sup-
lort the nominee , no mutter whom
in mlzlit be. and that three
if as good republican * ns there were llvlna In
the United Stairs uro o nml said lhit : Ihev
would not tie bonnil by such a resolution. A
tremendous uproar arose In the convention ,
und Hoscoe ( 'unkllriK moved that they bo nx-
nollod from the convention. This motion pave
( Irtrllcld the opportunity for the grandest ef
fort of his Ilfo In thu defense of the right , ot
individual conscience of every delegate In
any convention , nnd the overwhelming senti
ment In support of this position Impelled
Conkllng to withdraw his motion , und the
three West Virginia delegates were permitted
10 remain in thu convention , notwithstanding
their refusal to pledge their support In ad
vance to uny man Whom the convention ml ht
iiotiilnnlo ,

111:111 : In the ( 'nuse of Justlee Ills
l nliigy nt Clcvchind The
Vote In the Senate.
WAIHIXOTOS , D. C. , April 22. It Is seldom
that a contested election case engrosses the
attention of the bouse , but the Noyos-Hock-
wcll cnso did so today. There was thought
.o bo concealed behind the local question n
democratic nomination for the presidency ,
was It to bo Hill or was It to bo Cleveland I
or was It to ba the much-spoken of weslerti
man ) The vote. In Iho house , It U said , Indi
cates that the \vojt may como to the front.
Air. Fallows made a line argument In favor
of Mr. Hockwell and ho was followed by Mr.
Cock ran with n brief speech similar to Iho.io
addresses for which ha Is famous. Neither
ono of these pontlomon roforrcd to tbo po-
lltlc.il Imbroglio except by innuendo , but
Mr. O'Ferroll of Virginia took the bull by
Iho horns. Ho announced himself as n stal
wart Cleveland man. Cleveland , la his
opinion , was a lion , whllo Hill was n fox.
His reference to Grovcr Cleveland as Iho
magnificent and grand man from Iho state of
New York was applauded , but ho failed lo
carry tbo house with him , but thlriy-nlno
members recorded themselves In favor of the
contestant and the chasm between Hill and
Cleveland seems to be moro than over with
out the prospect of a plank to brldeo it.
Cockmn's I'len for llockwcll.
Mr. Cockran , In the course of his remarks ,
said : "It , is not for a democrat that I ptoad.
It Is for the people of Iho United States ; It
is for the purity of the ballot box , not for
any ono person who claims here the bsnollt
of votes that were contained In It ; I spcalc
lor the sanctity of the altar of sovereignty
itself , and t say that the chair secured to
Mr. Hockwoll by the majority of Iho unpur
chased votes ot his district Is sacred m the
eyes of the law ; Is protected by every loiter
of our constitution and should bo demanded
by every honest impulse of our nature. I
spsalc for" the purity of elections , for tno
honesty of the expression of the popular will ,
for the Inviolability of the ballot Oox. I bo-
llovo that no partisan advantage would com
pensate any loss that would ba sustained by
tbo unfair exercise of judicial power In this
house. We bavo soon what the eiTcet of the
disregard of every principle of Justice has
been upon the minority. Wo have soon to
what proportions it has shrunk. I uopo be
fore this vote Is recorded there will bo found
some men on the republican sldo oC tbo house
to declare their belief that purchased votes
are not the expression of the popular will ;
nnd that no tltlo to a seat can bo found upon
the record tainted by this bribery and fraud
and which seeks to establish Itself only by
availing Itself of a technicality Injected in'o
the case by tbo report of the majority. [ Loud
applause. ]
O'l'errall Advocates tlio Cause of Justice.
Mr. O'Forrall of Virginia , in closing the
argument in favor of Mr. Noyos , said ho
hoped that n calm would succeed tho-hurrt-
cano which had Just passed over the house.
The speech of the gentleman from Now York
reminded him of a little story. A belated
traveler was Journoymarovcr a country in the
midst of a storm. Ills horse ho guided by
the flara ot the lightning. But , although the
storm was a fierce one , Iho llasnes were not
frequent , while the peals of thunder wore
Incessant. Finally the wayfarer sent up thq
Invocation : "Ob Lord , I would like to have
a liltlo moro light and not , qulto so much
noiso. " [ Loud laughter ) .
Ho ( O'l''errall ) did not have to go around
in his country wearing on the lapel ot his
coat a label with the words : . "I am a demo
crat , " [ Applause , laughter , cheers and
great confusion ! . It had boon charged that
ho was warped In his Judgment , because ho
preferred a certain gentleman for the next
democratic nomination for president. Ho
supposed as an American citizen ho had the
'
rig'ht to exorcise the privilege of expressing
his choice. Ills choice was iixcd. Every
body who know his conviction know what
his choicu was. And yet , ho was to bo as
sailed and criticised because he preferred a
certain distinguished gentleman for the
democratic nomination. It was true , ilo
did prefer a certain gentleman. Ho preferred
a great big man. [ Laughter and applause ! .
Ho preferred a man who was a lion and
not a fox. [ Cheers and utilisation. ] Ho pre
ferred a man who stood out. before the coun
try , head and sbouldori above every ether
living democrat of this ago t. man who Know
no north , no south , no cast and no wont. A
man who know no people , whoso homo was
the Unitol States the magnificent and grand
Orover Cleveland of the state of Now York.
[ Great applause. ]
IIuw They Voted.
At the conclusion of Mr. O'Forrall's speech
the previous question was ordered without
division. The question recurred on tbo reso
lutlons of the minority us a substitute for
the resolutions nf tbo majority , A separata

The bill as amended passed.
Chinese Kxicliialoii IU1I.
The Chinese exclusion bill was taken up
and Mr. Chandler pnftscedod to present testi
mony as to the continuous introduction of
Chinese from Canada and British Columbia
In order to show tno need 'of moro strinront
laws to prevent the lullux of Chinese over
tbo northern borders. . Ho favored the sev
enth section of tho.houso bill , providing the
penalty of imprisonment in a penitentiary for
Chinamen so introduced. In the course of
his remarks ho referred to the Soott act of
October 1 , 1SSS , as a , violation of tbo treaties
with China.
The term "violation. " did not suit Mr. Tel
ler , who suggested tbo ifto of the term abro
gation or "repeal , " hut Chandler said ho saw
no difference in the teita" ,
In reply to a quontlb.n by Mr. Hiscock , Mr.
Chandler said that * the- Chinese government
bad never asscntcd-td tllojpartial abrogation
of the treaty. It hud refused to receive the
now-uilnlstor of tbd .United States on iho
ground that congress ha.1 passed the Scott
law. He was free lo admit ha thought the
situation between tbo American eovcrnmenl
and China a bad one.
Heverung to the case of Mr. Blair , hn
remarked that senator was also ono who
made a vigorous light la the senate azainst
the Scott hill. Ho then wont on to road and
comment upon the correspondence between
tha State dcuartinont and China as to Mr.
Blair's rejection. Ho referred particularly ,
with much acidity of language , to the fact ,
that thn dispatchof the state ofllco
ot Iho Olhof October ( explaining and
defending the position of Mr. Blair ) had
not been communicate' } lo the Chinese gov
ernment , but had been buried In tbo
archives of the location , until Mr. Wharton ,
by bis dispatch of March 25 , 1802 , directed
It to bo done forthwith. Ho celled attention
to the fact that on July 0 Mr. Blair had ( for
reasons stutod In his memorial before the
senate- ) withdrawn bis letter of resignation
as follows : "I withdraw my resignation nnd
would thank you to inform the president. "
Mr. Wharton's response was : "I have
received your letter of the Oth Instant with
drawing your letter ot resignation , and in ac-
corJanco with your rciiuost I shall inform
the president of your action this afternoon. "
And yet , said Mr. Chandler , with much
earnestness of manner , on the Uth of October
the president accepted the resignation which
had boon withdrawn , and tboro Is Iho record.
Itupmllutlnn of Trinity Ilighta.
Mr. Davis , a member of the committoa on
foreign relation looked on Iho house bill as a
rani : , radical , unulushlnj * , unmitigated re
pudiation of every Iraaty obligation re
maining between the United States nnd
Chinu. Ho said that Iho Clilneso govern
ment was not anxious for Its pcoplo to como
to the United Statos. But how was It with
Ibo covcrntncni.3 of tbo western hemis
phere ! There was moro mutter for prudent
consideration , he thought , In the attempts of
Mr. Cabcnsly , who had submitted to the
pope last year a proposition tntendod to
nationalize American institutions and to
supplant tbnm by tbo institutions of ns
many nationalities as were to bo found in
America than there was In nil the Chlnoio
questions slnco 18SS. The gentlomnn , Air.
Cnhonsly , proposed \ / use the power of the
Catholic hierarchy \ bring about that great
political result. Ill , ( Davis ) rejoiced that ho
could speak of the matter without committing
'
ting th'n offense of treading on religious
ground because It was to the credit of Pope
Lee XIII , , the gfo.itost statesman who had
sat on the pontlDoal llirono for a quarter of a
century , thai Wi repelled the proposition ns
soon us made to him ,
"This Mr. Cahonsly , " Mr. Davis sold"was
not a priest , but u layman a member of the
Prussian Diet. In tlio memorial which ho
presented to Iho Vatican bo claimed that the
want of representation of the different na
tionalities ot emigrants. In the Episcopal dlo-
ewes was ono ol thacblof causes of desertion
on Iho part of iho Catholic force ? , and that
t'cnco ' It was dosiraolq | tbat every different
national group of emigrants should bo or an-
Ued into a dis'Uct parish , with a priest of Its
own nationality. It was by ono of those
many schemes that the various foreign lan
guages should bo perpetuated in the United
States by the distribution of people according
to nationality. However oblivious to the
fact thai ihcro U an , American nation
ality ant ) an American people , never
had there over oeen n moro Infamous attempt
to proitltuto iho religious powon tor political
purposes than was expressed ID that memor
ial. This man , bo said , " was no Inconsiderable -
able man. Ho was a maawbi could cotnblno
allies. It bad b on stated that Mr , Schlooecr ,
the German representative ut Homo , was in
hearty accord with him And backed tno mem
orial , and that American families of high
rank and royal nnd noble circles were Inter
ested in tbo scheme , but It was to the glory
ot thn American hierarchy thai It had fought
the proposition , Pt-rhnps I have gone out of
'
my way to bring up'tbls subject now , but it
so far dwarfs by contrast the danger to bo
apprehended from tbo Chinese that I could
not rolralu from it. "
At the close of Mr. Davis * spoccn without
any action the senate went into executive
session and soou after adjourned until to

tion , his soldiers comprising C , E and II ot
tlio Sixth cavulry. Tuo major , Ulunt and
outspoken , had little sympathy for his pris
oners , and has on dlvora occasions said so.
When Hearing Ogalalla ranch last night ,
W. O. Irvln , Its manager , who Is ono ot the
prisoners , invltod the major to bo his guest
tliat night , tendering grain and feed for the
horses free of chnnro.
"Not by n d d sight , " replied the major.
"We pay you for every oat anil whlsp of liny
wo get , Just llkj any other person. "
Ttio soldiers nro not in love with their trip.
A very important feature of the expedition is
a HotchKlss gun carried uy nn army wat-on.
It more tliun any other thing uomnmndcd the
respect of the rustlers.
It Is related 0,11 good authority that whllo
the cattlemen were besieged at the T A
much , Booby Ford , a wealthy merchant of
Buffalo , ottered the commanding ollloor at
Fort MclClnnoy M.OCKJ for u cannon.
When the cavalcnao left the fort , Sunday
morning cowmen nil nrmod with six-shootora
and rillos were circling nround. Major
Fechet did not lllco the looks of the crowd ,
and ordered all strangers out of camp. Down
a hill to Clear croon wont the procession.
There were wagons and buggies , oven car
riages \vitli women , and men on horseback
wcro so' numerous that a blooltiulo was
almost causou. This made the major mad ,
and n few orders hastily given and Just as
hastily executed , baa tuo desired effect and
the road was once more clear.
A half mile further on two dozen cowboys
began circling nround , acting as though try
ing to cut out cattle from n uunch. Tlioy cot
so daiiccrously near the prisoners that , the
order was given to nmko ready to repel an
attack , and the gleaming barrels of the car
bines were ready for action.
Standing at a small bridge some llttlo dis
tance ahead were thrco men with rillcs lo
thsir shoulders , apparently ready to lire.
They thought bolter of it when the troops
were brought lo a halt , and Ualf n dozen
sharp spoolers pointed their guns in that
direction.
After the bridco was passed the trail led
through a bunch of willows , and lucre the
major expected trouble. The willows arc so
thick that it was impossible to march oven
two abreast , and so the guard was with
drawn from the side of the cattlemen , and
single Die was the order of march. This
would have boon an excellent spot for nn
ambush , , and the major know It , but his
fears were groundless. As his command
dashed into ihocloar , beyond , Sheriff Angus
rounded up his eoxvboys , and bunched ou u
knoll they watched the troops pass out of
sight ; warding the men they were having in
charge. As the cattlemen came opposite the
bunch , some ono shouted , "good bvo , White
Cap. "
Yell after yell rent the air , and wheeling
on their horses , "Hed" Angus slowly led his
followers back to Buffalo.

arrest of his brother by Ashland ofilcers ,
his cscnpo nnd the disclosure of circura-
stautial evidence that brands him as a crimi
nal equally as daring as bis brother.
Several weeks ago a man was arrested at
Phillips , a small town near Ashland , for
some potty offense. Ho was engaged as
clerk in ono of the hotels there1. The ofllcors
brought him to Ashlaud , and a preliminary
hearing was held In the municipal court , the
outcome being that ho was bound over to ap
pear at the next term of the circuit court ,
which convenes on Monday. Bonds were
placad at S3JO. Tbo criminal had no trouble
In procuring bondsman , Ithasboon rumored
since that ho advanced money to the latter in
order to secure his release.
The attention of the police ofllcluls was
attracted by the manner in which the stran
ger criminal took every precaution to conceal
his identity , nTld vhon a soKrch waj ordered
nothing whatever could bo found to t'-aco
him back of the time ho took the position of
clerk at the Phillips hotel. Within twelve
hours alter the bonds wcra signed the oftlcori
lost all tr&co of him. Chief of IJutectlvcB
Gun Schwartz wont to Phillips a foiv dnys
attor to further investigate tlio former rec

Missouri for the train robnary there , and
disclosed the fact that she was also ttiu
mother of this hotel cleric. In rhc same trunk
were found a Winchester rlllu , u cartridge
belt and a queorlv Rhapod dlrlc.
Detective Schwartz bullovcs ho has other
mdUputablo evidence thtit ttiU man is im
