They were all tired after their long day's work , hut almost without exception tlme ) were unanimous in expressing - ing satisfaction with : the ticket , and de- dared that it was a winner from top to bottom , Each one seemed to be impressed with the harmony which characterized time proceedings. and interpreted that condition to presage a victory in November. John T. Dressier of Wayne , who was placed in nomination for state treasurer , but who withdrew his name , says it was time most harmonious convention ho ever attended - tended , and ho thinks the party is particularly - ticularly felicitious in time selection of candi- datcmi. Ho says the work of the convention moved along smoothly and rapidly , with nothing to Jar time good fehlag which pro- valled. G. W. Whiteaker of Kearney , another delegate , said : "It was a great convention , Everyone appeared to be imbued with a spirit which indicated confldenc In victory at the election and desired to put aside everything which might in any way embarrass - barrass the party during the campaign. The' went after the best inca for the oflices , and men Wile would strengthen the ticket , and I think they have succeeded well in that direction. " J. F. Nesbit , a delegate from Burt county , said : "It could not imavo been a better convention. I have never attended one where there was a better feling among time delegates. They were a most utbusiastic lot of inca , 1.Ji it made one feel good to be there. The harmony which characterized every action was not such as will hring joy to the enemy. They were determined to retrieve lost ground , and to do this desired to make a good start by nominating a ticket against whi i no complaint could he ninde. In this I tlmink the convention was a sue- I cesa. and I feel confident that a better lot of nominations could not have been made , no matter what the circumstances might be. The candidates are weli distributed over the state , and the important elements of strength In the party are each well repro- sented. " These men represented the views of ho ether delegates who canmo in last night , for wlmilo being Interviewed in a crowd , each sentence' was met with the indorscmcnt of othcfs who stood by.

( Copyrllmt , 189S , by Associated I'ress. ) MANILiA , Aug. 3-Vha ( lionig Kong , Aug. 10.-The ) rumor is current here that time insurgents , fearful that peace will be coin- eluded between Wnslmimngton and Madrid anti that the Americamms will withdraw ( remit the PhilippInes , are consequemitly the more Stremmumouts itt their desires and efforts to cabturo Manila. Sunday nigimt there was a imeavy bombardment with heavy modern shells. It is generally hollered in the city that the Americans assisted and the papers publish lists of Americans alleged to ima'e bcen killed , including sonic nannes of rank. There is also a report that. imni time Amen- caims mare succumbed to fever , and tlmis misstatement - statement , with others like it , encourages the Spaniards to maintain their suicidal no- slstanee. On Sunmday many simots entered the town , several reached the tltatlel Itself and it Is reported timnt. sonic wonton were kIlled. There was a frightful panic inside the wails , woman and ciiiidrcn shrieking and rayiing in their terror the whole nlghmt tlmrouglm. One shot caused twenty casualties at time Luneta battery ; another exploded at the Malato barracks , killing live , The troops turned out just in time to save Malate fort and the anagazine. The Insurgeats sinuwered large and small shots with such precision that the garrison believed the winolo Macri- can army and fleet were concentrating their fire. Many Spaniards had previously resolved to cease fighting the moment the Americans began , but tine Insurgents hmmivo subsided and time fort lmas been reinforced from a barracks. There has boon little fighting in other directions. The totni 'Spanish losscs are probably a liuntlred , but. many Imouses have been seriously damaged. On Monday evening there was a furious fusillade In every direction. Telepbonic in- guinea were sent out front headquarters to various outposts. No answer was received ( rota El Pace and accordingly a squad of horsememi hostenetl timither. In the dark- fleas and stornu the sentries fired and wounded two. Probably in the nanic lucy imagined that the horsemen were Anion- cii its , Cnnnot Snnd Mitch More. A few such flights would drive the Spaniards inside the citadel , and then there tvoUld be time ghastly prospect of prolonged devastation and a slaughter wIth the inevitable - evitable destruction of time town and its in- imabitants unless the Amcricnns hastened to chose in. On Sunday 1.500 houses at Tondo were burned and the flames , driven by a strong gale , threatened the whole of Manila , but they were finally extinguished , 'nmainly through the efforts of time fire brigade organized - ganized by the British merchants at Manila. The British consul here died of dysentery yesterday , but his remains cannot be buried in the Protestant cemetery on account of the insurgents. For four days a typhoon has raged. The suburbs have been flooded , time trenches swamped and the sand bags dissolved. Dls- ease is raging. Mere boys of 13 years of age are enlisting ; they become officers and fight in time trenches. Time newspapers imp- plaud what they should condenmn as a crime. Tine British vice consul , supported by the French consul , who is the dean of the foreign representatives here , took time in- ittativo in unofficial "feelers" looking to nn armistice , pending peace , but the Aamericans are not authorized to accept anything cx- cept a irrender and the Spaniards will never surrcmider. The latter mope to endure until peace is declared between Wasimington anti Madrid , The hardships of the situation are chiefly pressing upon the natives and the foreigners. The ofilcials and time military can monopolize time food supplies , and , though a quarter of a million of the population - lation starve , the fact goes practically unheeded - heeded , Time 10,000 Spaniards in Manila are confident of their safety. They believe that time strong m'alls of the city will resist for three months and they are resolved , no- gardless of time fate of the women and children , finally to sell their lives dearly in reeking their hatred upon the English , the Americans and time Filipinos. Time Spaniards are busy tanking mitrailleuses. This correspondent has seen natives eat- lag rats and nilco and it is reported that they are stealing food and murdering.
