The democratic county convention held in
Oermanla hall yesterday afternoon put In
the field the slut outlined above. For the
pltlons of county Judge, sheriff and as
sessor there wera spirited fls:hts, but In
the other nominations lltt Interest wss
shown, Iouls J. Plattl beat out XV. M.
Oilier and II. K. Burnam In what looked at
the (art like a cloee content, while Thomas
Boyd had a close ehave with South
Omaha's favorite son, Thomas O'Connor,
for the honor he coveted.
Lylse I. Abbott, as had been arranged,
vas chairman of the convention, John T.
Morlarty acting as secretary and James
I. Ford fts nstt-itant secretary.
Den of Diaoritrr,
Mr. Abbott had his hands full handling
the convention. lie reduced a huge slab
of wood to fragments endeavoring to make
It serve as a gavel. Most of the disorder
was stirred up by Bouth Omahans who had
set their hearts on nominating Tom Flynn
for sheriff and Tom O'Connor for assessor.
There' was no trouble about sealing the
delegates. A soon as the temporary or
ganization was made permanent Frank A.
Brondwell was renominated with a whoop
for clerk of the district court. Like the
other successful candidates, he was called
forward, and make the usual rock-ribbed
neech of thanks.
John C. Prexrl was named for county
clerk, the position he now holds, as easy
s Urondwell, but with a few more cheers.
Otto Baumitn of the Fifth ward, a young
man who has never held public office, was
handed the treasurershlp nomination with
other vocal sunbursts. He had some dif
ficulty In getting rid f his speech of ac
ceptance, which he had committed to mem
ory, but he did not faint on the stage.
Xomlnatioaa Thick and Fast.
Nominations had been t Issuing at the
rate of about one In five minutes, butat
this juncture the horn of plenty got choked
and the aspirants and their friends had to
dig for the good things. B'or sheriff, John
Power was placed In line for renominatlon
by the First ward, Thomas J. Flynn was
championed by the Third, while the Sev
enth ward called attention to the merits of
Edward Walsh. The first ballot showed
7wer to the good with 1 ft votes against
Flynn's 84 and Walsh's Is from the Seventh.
The nomination of Power was then made
uranlmbus and he stirred up much enthus
iasm when he told the convention that he
wim as good a arty worker as ever, even
though he hud Indulged two terms In the
sheriffs office. Mr. Flynn, alio, came for
ward and said he had no hard feelings.
rFoIlowIng close on this brush came the
skirmish for the Judgeship nomination,
with numerous speeches and seconds to
each nomination from all parts of the
house. XV. O. Gilbert of the Fourth put
W. M. GUler in the Held after a peroration
thnt would have done any breakfast food
good; R. F. Williams of the First turned
a similar friendly deed for Harry Burnam,
while the Second ward shoved Louis PiatU
off for the prlie. The vote, after much Jug
gling and changing from the original cast,
stood Plattl. 158; Oilier, 68; Burnam, 15.
The convention then became unanimous
for Mr. Plattl.
Glsh for Coroner.
For coroner Dr. Jacob Glsh defeated
James A. Taggart by 129 votes to 117, while
J. E. House won out for county surveyor
over M. J. Lacev bv 191 votes to 50. John
V Speedy, principal of the Benson schools,
bad no opposition and was nominated for
superintendent of schools without formality,
although a 'friend" tried to tell the con
vention that Mr. Speedy had no desire for
the honor.
The main fray of the day followed.
Henry C. Richmond, a South, Omaha newt
paper man with a white vest and a Chauucy
l.epew delivery, spoke glowing words for
Thomas O'Connor of that vale, for the new
Job of county assessor; Carl C. Wright
mentioned Fred Elsabscr; John C. Rcasan,
was the other Richmond In the field, be
cause he nominated Thomas Boyd; Ed.
Mahnney projected a-favorite son of the
Seventh. C. R. RuMin. Into the battle, while
Patrick Ford nominated Thomas Harring
ton of -the Third ward.
During the roll call Rustiu and 11. n ring
ton were eliminated and linuily Klaser's
strength was thrown to Ioyd and the solid
forty-six votes from South Ointha availed
rot. There was so much changing of votes
that the tliat ballot was declared Informal
and another taken which nominated Boyd
by 131' votes to
Hitchcock Is Naaaalne.
About this time It was discovered that
Congressman llltoln-ock was In the room

SELECTED OVER SEVERAL OTHER CITIES
Order W ill F.nter I on Msiironi Cam

ext Tear. !
i Omaha has been made the official head
quarters of the International Association of
Stationary Firemen as was reported by The
llee some weeks ago It would be. The
general office have been transferred from
Toledo, O. A number of western cities
were candidates for this important post,
but none was able to offer as attractive
conditions as Omaha, which has become
nationally prominent as the center of or
Canlzed labor.
Lnralyi through the efforts of C. L.
Hchamp, International secretnry and treas
urer of this order, who formerly was a res
ident of Omaha, did this city secure this
concession. Mr. Schamp Is in tho city now,
selecting a headquarters building and a
private home for his family.
The advent of the general headquarters
In Omaha will mean much to the printers
of the city, as like all other such institu
tions the international requires an enor
mous amount of printing every year. An
other very importunt feature of the affair
Is tho large staff of elerkt and employes
which the order will bring here, all of
whom must become residents.
To Knlarae Order.
The prime object In removing the head
quarters further west was to better fa
cilitate the movement for the increase ill
membership, which will now be carried on
with unceasing Industry. This will neces
sitate a larger number of employes than
before. Severn I buildings for a headquar
ters ore under conalderalloti and ono will
be decldei on In a few days.
In addition to tho removnl.of this inter
national to Omaha the city has been se
lected its tho next annual meeting place of
the International Association cf Stationary
Kcgrlnccrs, September, lltvi. A report was
circulated that these two orders contem
plated an amalgamation, but this is of
ficiary denied.
Omaha local lodge No. ."., of engineers,
is ono of the strongest In the association, I
having 173 members, and has been In exist
ence three and a half years. Tho local of
ficers are C. L. Hustln. president, and C.

ways and means has been appointed by tho
local lodge, and has already begun hustling
In preparation for the coming Interna
tional meeting. It is expected that thert,
will be between 300 and WW delegates pres
ent at the meeting next year.
