Itrsnlii.lons Ailnpteil,
Tho resolutions adopted by the convention
were brief and to tho point as follows:
AVo, thn republicans of Pottawattamie
county Iowa, in delegate convention as
sembled, do hereby resolve:
T ' I .. . . . '1' I. . .
. . " ,l WD rcamrm our iiliegiance to
i;iiiivuniiou iieui ill ues .Mollies. In
Heeond That we. henrtllv niwl ii,in..il
fledly indorse the broad, patriotic and dis
creet administration of President William
McKlnley, and tho conduct In otllce of
Governor Kesllo M. Slmw; and we bcllcvo
'"-ests oucmfo.wHM best
noiu and win put in practice In our gov
ernment thoso principles which have in
inn nisi rnur years worked such unex
nmpieci prosperity in our commonwealth.
Third That from an intimate acriualnt
nnco with lion. Walter I. Smith, extend
ing through a number of years, we have
formed nnd hold the highest opinion of his
honor and ability, and we commend him
to the republican congressional convention
with tho fullest eiinlldence that Ills nomi
nation and election as congressman will
do honor to tho district; and we herebv
Instruct our delegates in the congressional
convention to use all honorable means to
forward his candidacy.
Resolved, That we recognize the learn
ing, ability and high character of Hon.
Jacob Sims, and as citizens of Pottawatta
mie county, where so many years of his
active llfo have been passed, wo takn pride
In tho standing that he has obtained In
his profession, us ono of tlie leaders of tho
bar of Iowa, and wo earnestly and unani
mously Indorse his c.indldaev for tlie linsl.
tlon of attorney general of the state, and
without reserve commend his candidacy
: 1 t,,n republican state convention. Through
of .acquaintance with li s public and
irivato llfo wo have absolute confidence,
11 his fitness and abllttv to illsehnrcn ilm
duties of that otllce and believe that his
nomination and election will do credit to
me party ami mo state.
Resolved. That the delegate In the re.
publican state convention from this county
are hereby Instructed to uso nil honorable
means to secure ins nomination, and that
Mr. Sims be invited to select the delegates
to the state convention from this county.
nnd he Is hereby authorized to till any
vacancies that may occur In the delegation
wiicn mo state convention shall meet.
A resolution waB also adopted endorsing
the ronominatlon of Judge N. W. Macy for
the district bench and after a trial of
strength between the supporters of N, M.
Pusey and O. D, Wheeler, candidates from
this county to till the vacancy that will bo
caused on the district bench by the reslgna
Hon of Judge Walter I. Smith, the con
ventlon voted to sunport Wheeler,
Only One l.l.tlr ('uiiltal.
Had It not been for tho contests over
tho nominations of two members of the
Board of County Supervisors the convention
would havo gone down Into history as a
veritable lovefcast, Tho greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and dcsplto tho Intense heat
which compelled the delegates to discard
their coats and lu many Instances even
their vests, the attendance was the largest
at any similar gathorlng In many years
The resolution endorsing tho candidacy of
Judge Smith for congress wob received with
a burst of vociferous applause and but for
the fact that ho was holding court across th
hall he would have been compelled to ad
dres the convention. The work ot tho con
ventlou waa conducted In a most thorough
businesslike manner and little or no time
was wasted with speeches.
The convention was called to order shortly
ner 11 o'clock, the hour named In tho rail
by County Chairman Frank Everett, who
,.- .,.,. ... r. i. ........ t.. r tii.i.-ri
named It. V. Battey of Aruca ns temporary ,
chalrman nnd Charles A. Atwood of this city
as temporary secretary. Mr. tlatley, on as-
suralng the g.ivol, was uccordod an en-
thuslastlc reception and he made a short,
stirring address, suylng In part:

report was adopted and tho officers having
taken their places and tho committee on
redentlalK having reported no contests, tno
convention got down to work. As tho com
mittees on delegates and resolutions wero
not ready with their reports, on motion of
Delegate J. J. Hitw, It was decided to pro
ceed with tho naming of a county ticket.
Dr. Snauldlng of Avoca prcHOntcd the name
of Freeman V. Reed for clerk of tho district
court and there being no other nominations

The committees on resolutions and dele
gates then made their reports, which wero
adopted and a resolution endorsing Jmlgu
Macy's candidacy was Introduce! and
adopted amidst much cheorlng.
Then ensued tho liveliest tilt ot the day.
Colonel C. Q. Saunders submitted a resolu
tion to tho effect that O. D. Wheeler bo the
choice ot the republicans ot Pottawattamie
county for district Judge to Jill tho vacancy
canted by tho resignation of Judge Walter
I. Smith. This brought Attorney II. J.
Chambors to his feet with a vigorous pro
test on behalf of ex-State Senator N. M.
Tusey, whom ho said It was well understood
was lfn a candidate. He made a lengthy
and heated argument In oppialilon to the
adoption of such n resolution and was re-
plied to by Colonel Sounders, who offered
to leave It with the deltgatlon. In order
to close the controversy Delegate Canning

t SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, i ,
Tonight the directors of the South Omaha
Commercial club will meet In the narlors of
the South Omaha club for tho purposo cf
considering a number of matters of Im
portance. Secretary Walking said yesterday
that he hoped every member of the directory
would be present In order that a considerable,
amount of accumulated business might be
disposed of.
In connection with propositions now boforo
the club Mr. Watklns says that tho South
Omaha Commercial club stands ready to
ncgotlato with the Union Paclllc Railroad
company or uny other company or corpora
tion for public improvements. Particular
stress was laid by Secretary Watklns on tho
appeal of the Union Pacific for trackage
facilities In the northern part of the city
Ho asserts that tho application of this rail
road company had no sooner been read to I
tho city council and referred to the com
mittee on streets and alleys than tho mu
nicipal body was enjoined from taking any
action. This action, Secretary Watklns as
serts, was taken by an Individual nnd not
by the majority of those who own property
In the locality to bo benefited. Mr. Watklm
Is emphatic In his assertion that the legal
steps taken by this one property owner In
nowise represents the feeling of tho South
Omaha Commercial club or the views of
progressive residents of thp city.
"We are willing," said Mr. Watklns, "to
assist any railroad or corporation that de
sires to mako Improvements here."
At a recent meeting of the club Messrs.
Freltng nnd King were named as a com
mittee to call on ' President Burt of the
Union Pacific in connection with tho vaca
tion of certain Btreets and alleys, nnd It is
posslhle that a report may bo made to the
directors tonight.
It Is nsscrted by members of tho club and
property owners Interested that tho stub
ends of streets which the Union Pacific de
sires vacated arc of no value to the city or
anyono else, but tho portion on Railroad
avenuo between F and I streets, which Is
desired by thn railroad, has a value. In
return for this concession tho club wants
the Union Pacific to Improve Hcllovuo av
enuo along tho line of its right-of-way In
the southern portion of tho city. This street
Is In a very bad condition and nothing but
... . . ,,, . I...,.,.. ,
n solid pavement will mako a suitable road -
way for tho farmers from Sarpy county, who
continually visit this city nnd tho livestock
market.
With the hearty support of the club, which
has been promised, It Is expected that the
amended proposition of the Union Pacific
lill be favorably received by the mayor
and council.
