HOU'AHD , Ninth Ward. The republican city convention met last night in Washington hall and placed in nomination a candidate for the ofllce ot police judge and flva candidates _ for the Board of Education. B. F. Thomas , who has been picked for the winner ever since .ho candidates appeared , had everything his > wn way In regard to the Judgcshlp nomlnn- lon , though his opponent can. Into tlio con vention with more than merely the votes of his own ward. After the question had been decided , Major Miller responded to calls for speech and said that although ho had had his aspirations , he would accept the result n a cheerful spirit. The race for the echool board wan a per plexing study of combinations , In which the winners could not bo picked with the least degree of certainty until the voting had be gun. The Third ward made a resolute stand for Rev. J. C. C. Owens , the nominating speech of Dr. Rlcketts being exceptionally well received. The contests were warm while they lasted , but the convention ad journed with not a sorehead In sight. Tlio solution of all the difficulties which had como ip incidentally before nnd during the pri maries , to the mtlsfactlon of nil , was made easy by the perfect freedom accorded every delegate at every stage to express his opin ions. Chairman Troup of the city central com mittee called the convention to order with a few forcible remarks regarding the im portance of the position of member ot the school board and the necessity of nominat ing none but men well qualified for It. Ho asked for nominations for temporary chair man. John C. Whnrton of the Fourth ward was at once elected by acclamation. Ho made a brief address , touching upon the attitude of President McKlnloy toward the educa tional establishments of the country nnd up on the necessity of upholding his efforts to sustain the flag ot the country. S. T. Wiggins of the Ninth ward and W. B. Whltehorn of the Fourth were nominated for temporary secretary. Mr , Wiggins with drawing Mr. Whltehorn waa chosen. There being no contest in any ward but the Third , the credentials of all other dele gations were accepted. There being but four of the delegates from the Third subject to protest , Nate Brown , William Gerke , Frank Heacock and William Nagel , the others were accepted. A committee consisting of Powers , Mites nnd Hanchctt , on motion , wore ap pointed to settle the contest. Palmer Blukca a Speech. While the committee on contest was out Captain H. B. Palmer responded to an Invi tation to epeak and took occasion to contra dict the baseless sensational reports spread concerning the meeting held Thursday night at the Mlllard hotel. Ho explained that it was simply a conference to organize more effectively the forces of Douglas county In the interest of the entire republican ticket. He declared , moreover , that never before had there been so much enthusiasm throughout the state and euch a disposition to uphold the patriotism of the president. Judge Reese , the speaker said , bad friends all over the state , they were each and every one put ting their shoulders to the wheel and their nominee's election was assured beyond a doubt. This statement was greeted with out bursts of applause. A. W. Jefferis was called upon and re sponded with an appeal to the convention to distribute the representation on tbo echool board ticket among the unrepresented wards , eo that the voters could rally around their personal friends. Ho predicted republican success and delarcd thmt Douglas county would lead the state In republican votes. The committee on contest reported upon the situation it had found In the Third , that the judges tad erroneously refused to count scratched ballots , and asked that it bo given authority to count the ballots. Its request was compiled with. When the canvass of Uio vo < tes had been made the committee reported that out of the 1C3 votes cast seven 'had ' boon thrown out for Irregu larities , and of the remaining 1GC tlio four contesting delegates had received vctes varying from forty-six to fifty-nine. The regular delegates having a clear majority tha committee declared them entitled to seats. The report was adopted. A motion was made by Jefferis that the convention proceed 1otlio nomination of the members ot the board before ) nominating a police judge , contrary to the call. This motion waa defeated by an amendment and Uio roll was called on policejudge. . It rosuitca as louows : Thomas.

The democrats of the Eighth ward organ ized a campaign club last night and elected the following ofllcers : Prosldont , Joseph Butler ; vlco president , Henry Farmer ; etc- rotary , Ed Smith ; treasurer , J. K , Fltz- patrlck. When speakers wcro called for W. S. Folkor remarked that ho felt called upon to say a few things. Mr. Tolker talked fully an hour. Ho discussed nil the political Issues from the < tlmo of the free sellers down t the present day. Ho predicted dis astrous things if the republicans continue In power , going so far as to Intimate the destruction cf the republic by war. This destruction , ho opined , will bo brought about by the manipulators ot trusts and combines , Grovcr Cleveland was roasted tea a turn , and wns characterized ns a man who "was not a democrat not enough ot a democrat to make a patch upon one side of a respectable democrat. " Why Cleveland was not and Is not n democrat was not explained. The war itox was designated as a plan to rob itho people. The speaker de clared that ho had been robbed by the gov ernment. The robbery occurred at the tlmo when silver waa demonetized. Ho owned some lots at Twenty-fourth and BInnoy streets. The property was mortgaged and because the debt could not bo pnlil In silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 the mortgage took the land. Mr. Felker declared the Filipino war a failure and held President McKlnley re- sixmslblo for the deaths that resulted from the blowing up of the Maine , the war with Spain and Uio deaths ot both American and Filipino eoldlers. PULL LANGDON OUT OK THE U.VCR , Pnpiillnt Coniiiy Coininlttre Dl cover Vacancy In Nomination fur JnriKC , By a decisive vote the populist county central committee Saturday ulght declared a vacancy In the office ot county judge , thus throwing Martin Langdon overboard. The meeting of the committee was well at tended. Immediately after Chairman Kenney called it to order the report of the execu tive committees of the populist , democratic and free silver republican parties , adopted Thursday night , was read. This report was In the shape ot a resolution and declared that Martin Langdon was not nominated for county Judge for the reason that the popu list and free silver republican conventions held last month resolved that no candidate bo declared the nominee unless he should bo nominated by two of tha three wings of the fusion combine. Neither Langdon nor Burman , the latter being the free silver nominee for county judge , received the nomination of more than ono convention. This being the case , the executive commit tee considered that no nomination had been made nnd recommended that the county cen tral committees of the three parties place James W. Carr upon the ticket for county judge. The report was signed by the fol lowing members of the executive commit tees : I. J. Dunn , democrat ; J. M. Kenney , populist ; J. G. Arthur , free silver repub lican. It was adopted "by the county central committee recommendation favoring Carr and all by a viva voce vote , but little op position heing manifest. J. R. Jones then Introduced a resolution Instructing John 0. Yelser and W. W. El liott , respectively chairman and secretary of Uio late populist county central commit tee , not to sign the certificate of nomination of any candidate for county Judge until authorized to do so by the county central committee. It was during the discussion or this resolution that Judge Langdon put In an appearance at the meeting. He was much wrought when he learned of the effort which was being made to oust him and expressed his convictions In no uncertain terms. He hurled defiance nt all those who were op posing him , denouncing them as traitors and announced that ho had toeen nominated by the populists and would Insist upon con tinuing as their candidate until the mil lennium , it necessary. Then came a cat and parrot time for a continued period. The populist brethren were far from dwelling In peace and harmony and Judge Langdon was Informed by certain members of the committee that they would not vote for him under any circumstances. As n parting shot ho told his opponents that despite the Jones resolution ho would get the signatures ot the officers of the county convention It he had to resort to law In order to do so. Th resolution was adopted on a roll call by a vote of 12 to 7 nnd soon thereafter Judge Langdon sorrowfully loft the hall. The committee- endorsed the democratic nominees for assessors nnd other minor of fices , except In the Sixth ward , whore P. W. Manville , the democratic nominee for assessor , was turned down. Ho was charged with being a republican renegade who had been cast aside by the republicans and a motion to endorse Mr. McCoy , the rentib- llcan nominee , was mado. This was after ward withdrawn , but not until two or throe of the members of the committee , who wore upon the lapels of their coat a Grand Army button , asserted that they -wxiuld support him. One old soldier said ho didn't think that McCoy , being a republican nnd an old soldier , would accept a populist nomination , so Charles Johnson was nominated. The "Plow Boy Preacher. " Rev. J.
