COLUMBUS. Neb., Aug. 26.-:(SpeclaI Tel
gram. The democrats of Nebraska, In
convention here tonight, nominated this
ticket, adopted a platform, heard speeches
from "parry-' leaders -ami passed 'numerous
rotes of Xhaaks to the people of CMumbus.
Edgar Howard, who was introduced as
''Mayor Bee," welcomed the delegates to
.the democratic state, convention after It
was called to order, by. Chairman Hall of
the state committee this evening. This
peech followed a prayer, by Father Cash
and the announcement',, by Mr. Hall that
Judge Sullivan had been nominated by the
Grand Island convention! It was 9 o'clock
before Judge Loomls, temporary chairman,
began his speech. He said:
Hon. George L, Loomls, the temporary
chairman, said In part: . ,
In democracy the. individual; man stands

we are now on the eve of another na-'

the United State. He who has been our
leader In the lust two campaigns nnd has

There are many able and cnslstent demo

them, the next battle will be fought.

will "be safe from all manner of assault,
whether open or insidious.
Conditions sre fast ripening for a grand
national victory. The party In power, evi
dently mistaking Its success In the past
few elections to mean an Irrevocable vote

Bryan Assails Hrarnlsra.
While the resolution committee, which
was appointed Immediately after Mr. Lomls'
address, was out speeches wefe made by
M. W. Wyball of New York and W. J.
Bryan. Th latter disclaimed that he was
longer the boy orator of the Platte and
then proceeded to make a thlrty-mlnute
talk In which he pleaded for a high Ideal
for the democratic party, attacked the re
publican administration and the .reorgan
izes. "I have been accused of. rpeaklng
harshly of the reorganizes," he said. "I
would forgive them for the evil work that
was dona if I were sure that they were not
ready to repeat It, but when I see those
who have , heaped humiliation and odium
upon the party stand ready to repeat their
work I would be an enemy of my country
If I did not. cry out, If they think two de
feats have destroyed the party, they are
mistaken. The fight between plutocracy
and democracy has only just begun. I
would rather try to win honest republican
than to retain dishonest democrats."
Mr.' Bryan then made light of President
Roosevelt's settlement of tha coal strike by
saying the democrats had been working for
a board of arbitrators for years,. He held
In discussing Imperialism there could be
no reconciliation between a colony and a
republic.

The resolutions committee was composed
of W. H. Thompson, C. C. Wright, W. If.
Kelllger. F. H. Tlbhetts, W. D. Oldham,
Edgar Howard. P. H. Kohl, C. J. Bowlby,
B. S. Littlefleld.
Then came speeches from Dr. Hall, Judge
Oldham and the convention wna over. It
wa noticeable only for Its length and the
manner In which W. J. Bryan dictated the
platform. The convention was held In the
opera house upon the stage of which were
many decorations. Over the front of the
stage was a large picture of Bryan and to
the side the pictures of Washington and
Lincoln. Each banner locating the coun
ties was decorated with A small American
flag. An orchestra furnished the music.
Reed Talks Early.
James Reed of Kansas City addressed
the delegates this afternoon. The speak
ing, had been arranged to occur tonight,
but owing to an engagement In Missouri
tbe hour was advanced. A special train
from Lincoln, carrying the delegates from
the Southeast part of the state, was all
that saved the speaker from talking to
empty seats. These delegates filled the
opera house. Mayor Reed was. Introduced
by W. J. Bryan, who paid a tribute to him
and to the democracy of Missouri. Mayor
Reed's speech was a - regular democratic
Missouri talk and It had the Missouri ring
to it. It was full of fire and brimstone
for the republican party, and It was an
Indorsement of all things democratic. He
told the history of hi state under repub
lican rule, when he said a $23,000,000 debt
was saddled on the people for railroads
that were never built, and he kept on the
soft pedal when he came to Missouri of
Just recent date. He threw bouquets at
the farmer In counties numbers, and
lambasted trust and high tariff. He gave
the democratic party credit for all good
things ' done and scored the republican
party for all bad thing , that were ever
done. He likened the latter party to a rud
derless, chartless craft, drifting before a
shifting breeze. HI speech was heartily
applauded. '
Omaha Delegate Balks.
3. P. Butler, who wa named a one of
the Eighth ward member of the Douglas
cqunty delegation to the Columttua con
vention, did not attend the gathering.
I could not go to Columbus," said Mr.
Butler last night, "for the reason that I
consider th manner In which the delega
tion was chosen a irregular in the ex
treme. I am always glad to serve my
tuarty. jn any way, but I cannot counten
ance Such usurpation oi tn)' party's func
tion by the committee as that witnessed in
Omaha last -Saturday, when a cbnventlon
chosen by the committee met to select
delegates ..to, tbe stat convention. Why
didn't the, co-nmlttee select the delegates
to the'state convention? It wouldn't have
been harder than to choose them for a
county convention, and no more Irregular.
I believe the committee Is the servant of
the party, and not Its master. Th prece
dent set is subversion of democratic doe
trine, and as a' believer in the principles
from which the democratic party derives
it existence, I could not go to the conven
tion under the circumstances."
WRIGHT FOR TAFT'S PLACE

OTSTER BAT, Aug. 28. General Luke
E. Wright of Memphis, Minn., will succeed
Judge Taft aa governor ' general of the
Philippines whei the latter becomes sec
retary of war next January, in succes

make the announcement that the post had
been offered to General Wright and. that
he bad accepted It. "
General Wright is now a member of the
Philippines commission and vie governor
of the islands. He is a life-long demo
crat. President Roosovelt spoke In term
of high praise of General Wright's ability
and fitness for the position of governor
general. He entertains a sincere regard for
him both personally and officially. Both
the president and Secretary Root regard
General Wright as a man of proved execu
tive ability.
During Governor Taft' extended sojourn
In this country General Wright was acting
governor general and his conduct of the of
fice was a source of congratulation to 'he
administration.
General Wright Is popular not only with
the Americans In the Philippines, but also
with th Filipinos, who hold Jilm only sec

The resignation was accepted by th
president, with the understanding that Mr.

until January L'
Governor General William H. Taft of the
Philippines will succeed Secretary Root a

President Authorise Statement.
President Roosevelt today authorised ths
following statement;
The president some months ago tendered
the secretaryship of war to Judge Taft, and
at that time it was arranged that he would
succeed Hecretary Root. Secretary Root
will get out of office some time In Jsnuary
snd Judge Taft will assume the duties of
the office shortly afterwards.
The president also authorized the publi
cation of the correspondence between hlm
solf and Secretary ' Root concerning the
latter's resignation. In full the correspond
ence follows:
Dear Mr. President: Tou have been good
to assent td the tifflcleney of the reasons
for which I have wished to retire to pri
vet life as soon as practicable after tha
establishment of -the general staff of the
army and the completion of my . full four
years of service as secretary of war.
While ft Is understood that you will prob
ably not arrange to fill th office as you
wish before the end of the year, and that
I am to remain In office in the meantime,
It is probable that you will be ready to
send a name to the senate In November or
December, and before you do so my resig
nation should be In your hands.
I find myself on the eve of sailing for a
foreign land, to attend th session of the
Alaska boundary tribunal, quite unable to
Judge how many months I shall be kept
away from this country, and I therefore
now tender my resignation of the office of
secretary of war, to take effect upon the
appointment and qualification of my suc
cessor. Loyal to Administration.
I shall carry with me unabated loyalty to
your administration, confidence in the pa
triotism and unsethshness of your policy,
and enduring gratitude for the kindness
snd consideration with which your friend
ship has honored m.
I shall not cease to apprecat.e the sym
pathy and loyalty to President McKinley
with which you took and carried on his
work and I shall always he happy to have
been a part of the administration directed
by your sincere and rugged adherence to
right and devotion to the true Interest of
the country.
I am, with great respect and esteem, Al
ways faithfully yours, ELIHU ROOT.
To th President. - .
President Regrets Assignation.
OTSTER BAT, Aug. -Hon. Ellhu Root,
Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.i My
Dear Mr. hoot It Is hard indeed for me to
accept your resignation, and I ao so not
only with keen personal regret, but with a
lively understanding of the gap your with
drawal will create In public lit.
My sens of personal loss is very great,
and yet my sense of the loss to the nation
ss a whole is even greater. Cou have been
four years secretary of war. I wonder if
you yourself realize now much you have ac
complished during that period If you will
turn to your first reports and will read
therein the recommendations you made in
order that the army might be put on an ef
fective basis you cannot but be pleased at
the way these recommendations nave been
adopted by cpngreea, aa well as by the ad
ministration, and have become enacted Into
law or crystallised into custom.
We have never had public servant of
the government Who has worked harder
than you hriV yrrked during these four
years nnd a hnXya-nd not merely in point
of line,, but abo,ve nil. In point or intensity,
and your succes"has been equal to your
labor. ! -V t
Knowledge .ojt Socceaaful Work,
The only reward you have had, or can
have, . Is ..the knowledge of successful
achievement, of the performance In fullest
fashion of a great nubile duty, the doing of
which was of vital anportanc to the na
tion's welfare.
Your duties have included more than
merely the r.dmlnlstratlon of the depart
ment, and the leorganizatlon of the army
on an effective basis. You hav also been
the head of a department which dealt with
the vast and delicate p-oblems Involved In
our possession ot the Philippine Islands,
snd your success in dealing with this part
of your work haa been as signal as your
success In dealing with the purely military
problems.
To very few statesmen, Indeed, In any
eountry has It been given at one and the
same time to achieve signal and striking
triumph In the administration and reform
of the military branch of the government
in the administration of what was In effect
a department or insular lepenaencies,
where the problems wero new to ourpeople
and were (n themselves of great difficulty.
Appreciate Invaluable Service.
Moreover, aside from your work in these
two divisions of the government, service, I
appreciate moat keenly th Invaluable ad
vice snd ssslstance you have rendered me
in Innumerable matters of weight not com
I oar oirectlv In rour departmental province.
but In which I sought your aid with the cer
tainty ot not being disappointed.
Your position on the Alaskan Boundary
commission at the present minute Is an
Illustration of these services.
May all good fortuns sttend you wherever
you are; the American people wish you well
and appreciate to the full the debt due you
for all that you have done In their behalf.
Faithfully yours.

RELIANCE AGAIN WINS
(Continued from First Page.)
green-grey squall out of the northwest,
raising a curtain ot spray aa It came,
truck the fleet, bringing grief to many
excursionists and carrying away yacht and
steamer awnings and top hampers gener
ally. It wa a hard day for the newspaper
reporters. There are three recognised
methods for reporting a yacht race, the
wireless telegraph system, the fleet of
small boats carrying the news from the
course to the shore nd a ' line of shore
observers along the Jersey and Long Island
coast. This was a day on which all three
systems proved a failure.
At th Start of th Race.
When the yachts reached tha starting
point at about 10 a. ra. th wind waa about
four knots an hour, not enough to send
them over the course within the time limit,
but there were indications that there would
be enough of It later. The preparatory
signal waa fired at 10:45, the warning gun
at 10:56 and the starting gun at 11:10. Th
navigator signalled that the race would be
over a triangular course ten mile to a
leg, th first leg south, the second north
east by east half east, the third northwest
by west half west. The wind at that time
was due south and had begun to freshen.
In the preliminary Jockeying Captain
Barr of Reliance got tha windward po
sition, blanketing Shamrock III, and clung
to it through various maneuvers until th
warning gun had been fired, when Captain
Wring fought clear ot Reliance.
At th sound of the gun Shamrock HI
bore off to leeward and away from Re
liance, while Captain Barr tacked under
th stern of Navigator, a the starting gun
Was fired and crossed th line only thirty
six seconds behind th gun. Shamrock III
kept away from the line almost until the
handicap gun, and crossed It handicapped
by nineteen seconds, for which no allowance
was mad to It.
The nineteen seconds ws dead loss.
Th starting time was: Reliu&re. 11:00:3;
Shamrock HI. 11:03:00. The actual starting
time of Shamrock was 11:02:1. Both went
across ths line on th starboard tack, but
held that tack for not more than a minute
and thsn headed for the Jersey coast.
Onoa fairly away Captain Wrlnge of
Bhamrook III resumed his tactlcsof pre
vious races gave his boat a good rap
full, sailed through Rellnnce s lea and got
under Its loe bow, while Captain Barr
pinched Reliance ctos Into th wind and
began to cover th distance to the wind
ward mark. Captain Wrings' maneuver
gave him a wind clear of Interference, and
when one satisfied that Rellanc could
not blanket his boat he flattened In his
sheet and began to point closer to th
wind.
Captain Barr, however, waa nursing Re
liance up to windward In masterly fashion.
Half an hour after the tart th gap be
tween the two boats had widened ma
terially, Reliance pointing higher and
Shamrock footing faster. They were half
a mile apart when they tacked off High
land Beach At 11:42.
Reliance) Ueglna to Gain.-
Reliance was th fist to go about. When
both yacht were Ailed away it wa clear
that Rellanc was gaining. Shamrock III
wa far astern and very little to windward
of Reliance' course. Meantime the wind
had been Increasing and waa now blowing
at the rate of seven knots. Shamrock HI
was heeling prettily, moving at a fast
clip ' and making considerably more fus
under Its bows than the American, boat.
Captain Barr was pinching Reliance Into
the wind until Its little baby Jibtop sail
fluttered. The race was being fought out
on th same linen aa the previous one. Re
liance sought to make Its gain by outpoint
ing the British boat, while the latter en
deavored to make up for What It lost In
pointing by footing faster with a rap
full.
At noon the wind had Increased to ten
knots and halted about a point to west
ward, so that both yachts could lay a
straight course to the turning mark, nit
more than two miles distant. They were
heeling hard, dragging their lee rails
through a lather of froth, sending It spurt
ing from under their bows In a f.ishion
that Indicated that they were making at
least twelve knots, and there was little
danger that the race would not be finished
within the time limit. ,
' Turn at First Mark,
Without making another tack both boat
made the turn of the first mark as follows:
Reliance, 12:21:80; Shamrock, 12:24:45.
Though Reliance had a lead of three min
ute and fifteen seconds. It still lacked
Ix seconds of making up the time allow
ance and the difference of one minute and
twenty-four seconds at the start.
Officially Shamrock III was still six sec
ond ahead of the slippery Tankee craft,
but it was evident that the latter had won
the race, barring accidents. In a brrezi
varying from four to ten knots art hour,
it practically had made good the time al
lowance In a ten-mllo thrash to windward,
and ther was every reason to believe that
In reaching and running which are Its two
trongest points of sailing It would soon
overcome that official six seconds. Both
captains broke out balloon Jib sails when
they squared for the second turn.
Sllarht Chang In Plana,
The wind was so far astern that they
quickly decided that Instead of being a
broad reach as intended, the tfourse to tho
turn was a run. Spinnaker booms were
guyed out and the great sails added to the
tall reaches of canvas. Staysails were
taken In and With spinnaker booms guyed
well forward, the yachts ran well for the
turn.
Both were heading off their course a bit
kn order to make their spinnakers draw
well, and they ran that way for half an
hour, when Reliance cmothered Its spin
naker and began to set its stay sail. Dur
ing .that time It did not appear to have
rained an Inch, but immediately on lay
ing. lu.irue oourse tt beeanto draw away.
Ten minutes after . Reliance, Shamrock
III also took In Its spinnaker, set it stay
sail and headed for the mark. With the
wind over three quarters both yacht made
fast time ot ft, but it waa apparent that
Reliance was gaining. They made the sec
ond turn, aa .follows: Reliance, 1:17:50;
Shamrock, 1:21:46.
Reliance Lead at Second Mark
Reliance was leading by three minute
and fifty-five seconds, having gained forty
Seconds In the run across from the first
to tho second mark. It had overcome the
time allowance, made good th difference
at the start, and established a margin to
Ita credit of thirty-four seconds. With a
close reach still to be made there was faint
hop for the challenger,
Reliance whirled about the mark, gybed
over, trimmed In Its sheets and romped
away on a close reach towards Sandy Hook
lightship and the finish line. It was three
quarters of a mile away before Shamrock
III rounded the mark. Both were heeling
before a twelve-knot wind from south by
West and were sailing at least one mile and
a half faster thHn tho wind was blowing.
Their sheets were eased Just enough to put
them on their best point of sailing and
upon which Reliance has often demonstrat
ed that it I faster than any racing craft
ever built. It was ltceled just enough to
bring its longeoverhangs to bear and give
It th benefit of It great sailing length.
Passe th Galde Vessel.
Tha veaael fo-iatwlae. was scurry
ing along ahead at full speed, but Rellunc
was overhauling it inch by Inch and when
th lightship hov fair in sight about two
mile away was not more than a quarter
of a mil astern of the guide vessel. A mile
further on Coastwise sheered off and gave
Rellanc a clear course to me nmsn.
As th wind softened Reliance first set a
baby Jib topsail which Shamrock had been
carrying since turning the second mark,
and then exchanged It for a big reaching
Jib topsail, In which Shamrock promptly
followed suit. The two yachts held their
relative positions for about a mile. When
Reliance waa a quarter of a mile from the
finish lin the wind died away conalder
ably, but Shamrock III came booming
along carrying a splendid -breez and fast
overhauling the leader. It looked as
though the British boat was going to get
within its time limit, but the finish wss too
close, and Reliance slipped across th Jine
with one minute and nineteen seconds to
spare. Shamrock III finished In 4 soften
ing wind and both boat wera taken in tow
to Bandy Hook.

JOHNSON MAKES PRECEDENT
Friend, on Stati Committee Arrange to
Gite Him Contested Delegat'ons.
ZIMMERMAN WILL PUSH THE FIGHT
Promlaca to Carry Contest Into Each
Congressional District Meeting;
and I'pon Floor ot Mtnt
Convention.
COLVMBrS, O., Aug. 25-Th prelim
inary meetings this afternoon and evening
of the democratic state convention resulted
In favor .of Mayor Tom L. Johnson of
Cleveland In his contest with John L.
Zimmerman of Springfield for the guber
natorial nomination. Mayor Johnson had
uncontested control of the democratic stat
committee last year at Sandusky and the
committee selected then, In its call for this
convention, provided that the credential
from all th counties were to be first sub
mitted to the state central committee.
Pursuant to hls new acquirement th stat
central committee selected at Sandusky last
year met tooy and passed upon the con
testa, that " a fleet 145 of the 0 delegates.
In favor of the Johnson men, who thus hid
the odds In their favor when the delegate
met later by congressional districts to se
lects mrmberW of the-'ommlttees on cre
dentials, resolutions, etc. Tho Johnson
men secured most' of the members of ths
new state central committee which holds
over to call the state- convention next year,
when delegates at large to tho democratic
national convention will be selected nnd
an Indorsement be made for the presi
dency. Johnson corea a Point.
The state central committee in consider
ing the contests from counties In alpha
betical order first decided to rrpirt to the
committee on credentials by viva voce vote
that there was no contest from Cuyahoga
county (Cleveland) and then oh a demand
for a roll call It was decided by a vote
of fourteen to seven that there was a
contest from Hamilton county (Cincinnati).
The result of this actl m was that the first
and second districts at Cincinnati, which
are anti-Johnson, were prevented from vot
ing In the organization of the committees,
while the Twentieth and Twenty-flrat dis
tricts at Cleveland were enabled to take
part.
The state central committee referred ths
contests in four other counties to the com
mittee on credentials without lecommend.t
tlon. These counties are in different con
gressional districts and those districts pro
ceeded to select members of the committee
without the contested counties taking part,
the result being thus favorable to the
Johnson men. The Zimmerman men car
ried the fight Into the meetings of aU the
committees tonight and Insist that they
will carry It into tho convention tomor
row. The most bitter feeling 1 expresfed
s.g.iinst the action of the old state central
committee thla afternoon In paslng on
contested cases, which Is said to be with
out precedent in the history of the party.
Xrw Committee Organised.
. The new state central committee organ
ised tonight with W. L. Flnley of Kenton
as chairman and E. C. Mudlgan of Cleve
land as secretary, both Johnson men. ' Ths
Johnson men controlled all the committee
meetings tonight, as they did afternoon
meetings, but the Zimmerman men fought
every, point and will present minority re
ports to the convention tomorrow on every
thing. .While Johnson still advocates Jonn
H. Clarke of Cleveland for senator,- It Is
believed that the names of Q. M. SalU-
gaber, tho temporary chairman' or the con
vention, former Congressman Lent and
others will be presented, and there Is much
talk about nominating Bookwalter not
withstanding his withdrawal. Charles W.
Constantlne, the close friend of Bookwal
ter, late tonight issued another statement
that Bookwalter would decline If h was
named for senator.
Johnson Offers Olive Branch.
C. c. Philhrlck. one of the close counsel
ors of Johnson, culled on Zimmerman to
night and offered htm the Indorsement for
senator if he would withdraw and make
th nomination of Johnson unanimous.
Zimmerman would not entertain the propo
sition.
The committee on credentials tonight fol
lowed th action of the old state central
committee in disposing of contracts.
Tha committee on resolutions had an all
night session, although printed copies of
ihA nlatform were brought here by tho
Johnson men from Cleveland. The John
son members of this commli'.ee were not
unanimous on several issues but it was
considered that th platform Would finally
be In accord with Johnson's well known
views.
