DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES. First and Second Words Meet and Select Delegates. Though it camo near raining pitchforks Tuesday evening when a storm burst over Alliance that was terrific enough to arouse terror in the hearts of the brave, the, un swerving discjples of Jefferson feared not and at tho Appointed hour were promptly on hand to see that tho ship of state was saloly manned and the people's interests properly lookd after. Although the rain was enough to take the starch out of most political enthusiasts, there were good representations at the caucuses. The first ward caucus was held at the office of Wm. Mitchell. By unanimous consent of those present, A. Triplctt was chosen chairman and S. M. Smyser secre tary. Then followed the selection of dele gates to the county convention, which re sulted as follows: Wm. Mitchell, John O'Keefe, T. J. O'Keefe, Robt. Graham, A. Triplctt, A. D. Now, L. Bucchsenstein, H. K. Scham, Ed. Reardon, At the second ward democratic caucus, held at The Hbralp office, Lee Edwards was chosen as chairman of the meeting. The genial "Doctor" thanked the caucus for the "unmerited recognition," stating that he considered it a great honor to pre side over a body of men who represented the principles of the common people. Mr. McGraw was selected secretary of the caucus and incidentally remarked that it seemed quite an honor to bo so recognized after being taken for a delegate to the republican county convention. The cau cus then resolved itself into a committee of the whole and elected thev following named delegates to represent the Second ward in the county convention to be held at the court house next Saturday: Lee Edwards, L. A. Berry, B. V. Reeves. W. S. Ridgell, S". A. Miller, James Graham, C. W. Brennan, F. J. Bitzold, John Hill. People's Independent Caucuses. Like the democrats of Alliance, the pop ulists are not afraid of water. This fact was demonstrated Tuesday night in the good attendance at the caucus held to select delegates to the county convention, which is to take place tomorrow in this city. Though there was discord and con tention between the elements of the at mosphere all afternoon and evening, peace prevailed at the caucus and there was complete unity and brotherly love. The following delegates were selected to rep resent the first ward: A. M. Da,ke, F. J. Culver, J. E. White, A. D. 'Kodgers, B. W. Young, T. W. McClain, J. A. Wolverton, F. A. Hood, Robt. May. A. D. Rodgers was elected chairman and F. J. Culver secretary. , The second ward caucus was held at the court home. J. P. Hazard was chosen chairman and C. W. Jeffers secretary and the following list of delegates was elected: D. K. Spacht, C. W. Jeffers, J. W. Miller, Lee Safford, O. Neff, J. P. Hazard, A. C. Johnson, 'Eranest Lemke, Orville Owens, The State Convention. The democratic state convention held at Columbus Wednesday evening was well attended and proved a brilliant and har monious affair. J. J. Sullivan was re nominated for supreme judge and M. A. Jones of Hastings and Dr. Earnest O. Weber of Valparaiso for regents. Mr. Sullivan's as well as the'regent candidates' nominations were made by acclamation. The populists state convention, held at Grand Island the same day, endorsed these nominees amid great applause. The men placed in nomination are worthy the honor conferred on them and the voters of the state of Nebraska can find in them men who are deserving of the votes of every citizen who decides upon a candidate's qualification by his past record. The committee on resolutions at the democratic convention drew up the follow ing resolutions, which were passed by that body amid great applause: We, the democrats of Nebraska, in con vention assembled, reaffirm our faith in the principles of the party as enunqiatcd in the last national platform adopted at Kansas City. We denounce the national republican administration for its failure to carry out its promises heretofore made and its sub servience to special interest at the expense of and detriment of the public at large. We are unalterably opposed to any form of asset currency legislation and to any legislation of the character of the Aldrich bill. We believe the judiciary to be the cornerstope of American government, both state and national. Upon its ability, in dependence and integrity rests the future of American institutions. We therefore demand that the judiciary of this state be kept free from partisan bias and the undue influence of special and corporate interests. We commend to the voters of Nebraska the record of John J. Sullivan as embody ing our ideas of the high character the judiciary ought toentertain. Ohio for Tom Johnson.. Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, was nominated for governor of Ohio at the convention at Columbus Wednesday. The honorable Tom and the democrats of the Buckeye state are to be congratulated upon the stand taken in adopting the prin ciples of democracy as enunciated by the Kansas City platform, and the action of those brave and fearless democrats should be a lesson to the weak-kneed party men of Iowa who failed to sustain the convic tions of their principles at their late state convention. Let the fearless stand taken by Ohio and Nebraska democrats give them courage to stand by the principles of J eff erson. The Lord always did hate a coward, political or otherwise.

ADVERTffEiENTSARE NEWS. Represent the Intelligent Effort of Successful Business Men. The New York Journal says that there are some people who have tho impression that the information to be gleaned from a newspaper is found only in its news columns. Let such people read carefully the ad vertising columns of a newspaper. Let them take as an object lesson the advertising pages in just one issue of their local newspaper. This object lesson will prove a revelation to them. They will find not only many matters of interest to them, but they will by reading advertise ments find that .they can keep in touch with the business pulse of the community. The business man will find an inspiration in reading his own uds. and those of his business neighbors, He will become, en thusiastic and his efforts in his business will be doubled. It is tho enthusiastic effort of the business men of a community that makes that community grow from a town to a city. The want ads are an index to not only small possibilities, but to tho largest trans actions. The businessman can keep post ed on the values of real estate by reading these little ads. Advertisements are business news, and this news is just as important as telegraph or local news. The biggest advertiser has the biggest store. Legal No. Ice. H, S.
