Orpheum theatre in Dui.iIia Wednesday to select delegates to tlm national oonvontion and transact urh other otliof business ns might cunic brfoio it. Tim convention was large ly atlendt-d mid tho result of it pi H codings moat 'satisfactory to all. llicu was an tuitito absence of tho sjntit of conflict and wrangle bo loudly uiuphesied by the Republican pioss ui J in fact tho good will that provnilcd liai put the opposition to thinking that thev knew little of the stiong unity that pic-vails in tho ranks of democracy in Nebraska." If the' dtlicr states of the Union piosont Mich a solid front as do the democrats of this commonwealth, then will bo no doubt of complete vie tory in the coming campaign. Dt. 1', L. Hall of Lincoln, chairman of the state connnitto, called the con enlion to order at 2:35. The call was read b G. W. Phillips of Columbus, soctctary of the committee. II. II Hanks of Otoe county, 0110 of the Btorling 0u11g democrats of Ne braska, was introduced as temporaty chaiiman. He cloiiucntly and forcibly dibCusscd tho political situation, bis speech buing punctuated with frequent bursts of applause. J, B, Donovan of Madiscn was placed in nomination for tcmpoiary secretary by Edgar Howard and elected. W. II. Green of Crcightuu and John M. Lcyda of Plattsmouth were named for assis tant secretaries. On motion the temporary organiza tion was made permanent. A motion also prevailed to tho effect that a com mittee of seven, with Mr. Bryan as chairman, be haracd as a committee on resolutions to prepare the platform. Chairman Hanks designated V. J. Bryan, A. C. Shallenbcrger of Harlan, J. II. Miles of Richaidson, Joseph Oberfelder of Keith, I. J. Dunn of Dpuglas,- Weiss of Thayer and Ed gar Howard of Platte. There were several rousing apccchcs delivered, marked with the earnest elo quence for which democratic conven tion oratory in Nebraska lias become famous. Mr. Bryan spoke twice, and his cverv hcntence or two was punctu ated with applause that swelled 11101 e than once into prolonged cheering. Congressman C, F. Cochran of St. Joseph, Mo., delivered a speech of almost an hour's duration, and it was commented on as a model of impas biofied eloquence particularly suitable to the time and occasion. Mr. Coch ran's speech was an Earnest plea for the democracy of state and nation to stand firm against the insidious aggres sions of the trusts and corporations, and continue to bo the unswerving and undaunted champion of the common people. .Repeated cheering greeted Mr. Bry an when, as chairman"bf the resolu tions committee, ho appeared on the stage to read the platform, which was unanimously adopted and which will appear in full in next week's Herald. the time being too short to give it in full in this issue, However the leading points thereof are the endoisement of tho Kansas City platform, opposition to all pi ivato monopolies, war against the menace of tmlitnryism ami tho republican tendency to imperialism. Tho restoration of the tariff to a reve nue basis and not for the piotection of tho trusts. Administration of the national treasury department in behalf of the people, not, us now, in the interr tot of Wall street and, secure a volume of standard money sufficient to keep pace with the demand thcieof, etc., etc. Demand of an income tax and eoual taxation, regulation of the rail roads, establishing of the eight hour system for the wage earner and opposi tion to government by injunction, the election of senators by popular vote, construction of an isthmian canal with out violation of treaty obligations, etc. When Mr. Bryan had concluded the reading of the platform there was a storm of applause and demands of speech from all over the house. The man who has twice led the grand old party of the common people in national campaigns was visibly affected and ho spoke in a manner that reached the lvearts of his audience and it was evi dent the old warrior had lost soue of his popularity among the democrats of Nebraska. His speech will be printed next week. Many other honored ,and trusted leaders were present and received the plaudits of the convention. The four delegates-at-largo were elected without opposition and by accla mation, there being no other candidate in the field. A similar honor was accorded James C. Dahlman for nation al committeeman.

The democrats of B6x Butte county con vened at the court house last Saturdn) afternoon for the purpose of selecting dele gate to tho various conventions to be hold this year Tho attendance was good and tho bout of fooling prevailed There was'a spirit of confidence at this gathering and the delegates wtjin to work with a spirit that signified a desire lb put up a strong campaign nnd leae nothing undone to as sure eotnplste democratic victory all along the Jins, The convention organized by s!scting County Attorney Mitchell chair man and Dr. I..

Zobol and I. A. Hall. The committee on resolutions, composed of Robert Graham, James Devlin and F. II. Mollring, reported as follows "We, the democrats cf Box Butte county, in convention assembled, renew our fealty to the principles of democracy as enunciat ed in the Kansas City platform. We favor the nomination by the St. Louis conven tion of men for president and vice presi dent who are in sympathy with these prin ciples and who gave loval support to the candidates representing them in tho two last campaigns. "We welcome back into the ranks of democracy all democrats who for conscien tious reasons saw fit to differ with us In the past and we invite all such to partici pate with us in the nobel work of strength ening the bulwarks of democracy." But to all egotistical traitors who were recreant to democracy in the davs of her tribulation and who fawned at the feet of her enemies- to such we can only say their presence in ourcotfneils would make the name of dem, ocrat a stench to the nostrils and a byword among nonest men. "We favor the unit rulo by the delegates of this convention in voting for candidates at the state convention. "We recognize the importance of placing tried and loyal democrats in places of honor and trust, men who have stood faithfully by tho democracy in storm and in calm; therefore, it is with pleasure we subn.it the name of Thomas J. O'Keefe as n gentleman who fills thesu requirements and ask that he be chosen as a delegate to the democratic national convention by the democracy of the Sixth congressional dis trict, and wo pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure his election," The question of holding another con vention for the nomination of county can didates also came before the meeting. Af ter expression, it was moved and carried that the county central com mittee select the date for holding the said conyention, which shall not be later than the first of August. With this question settled the convention adjourned. The Times in its last issue attempts to mako it appear that the democrats of Box Buttecounty are in as disorgan ized condition as the republicans. Well, it's an old saying that misery loves company, and this is an instance of it, without the company. Had not the editor of the Times, who was a candi date for delegate to the state conven tion, been turned down and refused to bo recognized by the recent convention lie wouldn't be in such ' humiliating miscty, and bis dream of democratic dissension might prove true. But as it is, Mr. Ellis is courting solace in cheap gossip having no foundation. The truth is that the democratic paity of this county vvas never more harmonious than at the present time and no one will deny the fact that the republican paity in this ccunty was never so badly disorganized than at tho present time. The last election and late convention demonstrated this fact. Northeast Allinncc. . Baby Walden is on sick list. Mrs. McDougal has the finest garden in this vicinity. C. K.
