Congressional Convention.
A WnrmFijFht fnrtTieTnmin;Hon

Ringing Resolutions Adopted
Amid Great Enthusiasm.
NO CHOICE UP TO 4 O'CLOCK.
Delegates from. 33 counties
embracing the Sixth congressional
district to the number of 160 ar-
rived last nirbt
and this
rnornmjr
to attend the congressional conven
tion. The usual quota of friends
ot tne several candidates accompa
nied the delejrates. The latter
were met at the depot by the recep
tion committee and assigned to the
several hotels. Many of the dele
tes had attended the state con
vention at Lincoln and were tired
out by the heat, travel and loss of
sleep. These retired to their rooms
at once and enjoyed rest and sleep.
The workers tor the candidates.
however, took little time for sleep
and were earlv at work this morn-
.t a few minutes before 10 o'clock
the members of the Gordon cornet
band, resplendent in their magnifi
cent uniforms, besran discoursing-
their most .harmonious strains on
the streets between the Pacific hotel
and the congressional committee's
headquarters in J. S. Hoagland's
office. After rendering a number
of selections an impromptu proces
sion was formed, and delegates who
had become tired of discussing- the
probable outcome of the convention
were escorted to the opera house.
Judge Hoagland then announced
that it would be a few minutes
until the congressional committee
would be ready to make its recom
mendations as to the temporary
officers of the convention, and dele-
gatesjpr.eseaken titled tpseats.
In ashort time chairman E. A
Cook, of Dawson county, appeared
on the stage and stated that a
number of the counties present had
failed to present their credentials,
and that secretary Lambert would
read a list of them. Some half a
dozen were in this category, which
in due course of time reached the
hall.
After the completion of this work
the chairman of the committee
called the convention to order, and
the call was read by the secretary.
The latter then stated that the list
of delegates presented to the com
mittee were all regular except in the
case of Grant and Logan counties
which had snbmitted proxies. On
motion the report of the comittee
was adopted with the exception of
j. ne committee tnen recommenaea
! Judjre F.
M. Morgan, of Rock coun-
ty, as temporary chairman, and W.
S T.onnnrrl nf flif RtrlnA-c Prn?nrrf
v. j - r
as temporary secretary. On motion
these recommendations were
adopted.
These officers then assumed their
stations, and Mr. Morgan then
made a neat little speech accepting
the position. Mayor Baker was
then Introduced and briefly tendered
the welcome of our people, typified
by a huge wooden key.
The meeting in its enthusiasm
then attempted to get ahead of
itself,by appointing a com mittee on
resolutions. C. F. Iddings then
arose to a point of order and stated
that no permanent organization had
yet been accomplished. On motion
of W. P. Miles. of Cheyenne county.
the temporary organization was
made permanent.
On motion the chairman was then
instructed to appoint a committee
of nine upon resolutions.
A motion was then made to have
the above committee report prior to
the naming of candidates which
was tabled.
On motion S. J. Weeks, of Holt
county, was chosen as assistant
secretary of the convention.
It was then ordered that all reso
lutions be submitted to the commit
tee of that name without reading
and without debate.
A motion was then made to pre
sent the names of candidates with
out nominating speeches. This
precipitated a wrangle by reason
of delegates Insisting upon various
other motions and counter motions.
For a time it seemed as if the con-i
vention would get away from the
chairman, but he finally wrought
order out of chaos.
The two counties which each had
oe proxy were afforded the oppor-
tnnity to appear before tlie conven
tion and present their cases. On
motion both proxies were seated.
A considerable contusion was

The convention had previously
decided to dispense with the calling
of the names of the .delegates, but
to accept the reportof the commit

The chairman theiSannounced the
toliowing as the committee upon
resolutions: Morris! Bergner, Jen-

A motion and an amendment to
r
adjourn until 1 and 1:30 o'clock re
spectively, were then made and
voted down.

iie next controversy was pre
cipitated by an attempt to have the
resolution committee, report before
the nomination was made. This
was nnally left in an unhnished
state, the chairman of the above
committee having announced where
it would meet.
Another attempt was made to
secure an adjournment until after-
"""" "uu 1J" "r
it was next orderea that the con
vention proceed to tne naming ot a
candidate without nominating
speeches, but merely by taking an
informal ballot- As many of the
delesrates present had put in the
greater part of this week in attend-
ing the state convention, this was
favorably received and adopted.
Some still insisted upon an ad-
iournment until after dinner, but
they were evidently In such a min
ority that it was decided, atter re
peated calls, to proceed to a poll of
the convention. The balloting

THS STATE CONVJiNTIOJi.
The republican state convention
jka - t - Lineohi' Wednesday-no minated a
ticket of which every member of the
party may well feel proud. The
ticket throughout is composed of
clean, able and efficient men, and
they were placed there by the dele
gates without the dictation of ma
chine politicians. Slates were made
but in every Instance they were
broken the professional politicians
were relegated to the rear and the
will of the delegates prevailed.
Particularly pleasing to the peo
ple of western Nebraska is the
selection of J. H. MacCotl tor gov
ernor. A man of strict integrity, a
successful business man, a man of
the people, "Jack" MacColI will
make a popular and efficient chiet
executive of this great common
wealth. The ticket nominated
Wednesday will be elected, no mat
ter what combinations the oppon
ents may form.
"WHAT "WTLL THEY DO?
From the east and the west, from
the north and the south, the claus
are gathering, and in little less
than a week, the greatest demo
cratic convention of the century
will be In session in the greatest
city on the American continent
Chicago. As the time ap
proaches for the great unwashed
to assemble, there is much conjec
ture as to the result of their delib
erations. It were folly to suppose
that only democrats are" interested
in their action, or that only demo
crats are watching with consider
able anxiety the outcome of what
promises to be one of the most ex
citing episodes In the history of a
party, which in the past has gone
on record for doing the most aston
ishing things in the most remark
able manner. There are many cir
cumstances surrounding the ap
proaching convention which will
cause the deepest interest to be
felt in their every movement. In
the past, conservative men of large
experience, firmly grounded in the
principles of Jefferson and Jackson,
after whom they claim to pattern,
have molded the opinions and form
ulated the platforms through
which they have expected to be
carried forward to ' victory, but
which since the war with but two
exceptions have lead to overwhelm
ing defeat. This time, however, if
we may judge anything from the!
signs of the times, a new order of
things will prevail- The careful,
conservative men, the men who
nave grown old in the service, the
men who have stood in the front
rank and nobly, and it may be said
conscientiously, battled" for the
party, will be turned, down, cast
.aside, driven from the helm, and a

Yours for
set of Inexperienced, croaking, theo
retical nincompoops will take their
places and dictate, to those posses
sing long years of experience, what
shalhbe donerfoirthe success-ot 'the
party, and what is best to improve
the present deplorable conditions
which exist in the country. It Is
quite natural therefore, for those
who are close observers of the move
ments of great parties on the eve of a
mighty political struggle, to ask the
question, 4 What will they do?r His
tory records of a certain king when
he came to the throne that he found
the people exceedingly restive under
a great grievance, and he consulted
the old men who had stood by his
father saying, "How do you advise
that I may answer this people?"
After the old men of judgment and
sense had advised him to adopt
pacific measures and strive to
lighten the burdens of the people,
he then consulted the young men of
his realm who told him to add to the
yoke which was even then heavy
upon the people. He was told by
these young ninnyhammers to say
to the people, "My father has
chastised you with' whips but I will
chastise you with scorpions." The
democratic party of to-day stands
in the same relation to the people
as this king of old did to his peo
ple. After four years of democratic
blundering and incapacity, having
scourged the people with the free
trade lash, the older men, anxious
to redeem their lost prestige, would
advise lightening the burden by
tariff measures at least high
enough to provide revenue to pay
current expenses; but the young
men say the people have been
lashed with a mongrel free trade
Gorman-Wilson bill, now we will
hasten to apply the scorpion of tree
silver. Unless something occurs
to give such men as Cleveland,
Whitney, Carlisle, Hill, Watterson
and others their former power to
lead the democratic procession,such
men as Bryan, Harvey, Tillman and
the anarchist Altgeld will dictate
the platform, and as foreshadowed
by a majority of the state conven
tions, that platform will contain a
free silver plank. Now the ques
tion arises whether the men who
oppose such a measure will bolt.
The probabilities are that they
will not, Several of these old war
horses had an experience in bolting
about thirty-five years ago. and as
a result of that experience, they
strenuously object to measures of
that character in the future. What,
then will they do? It is safe to
predict that thousands of good,
loyal democrats thoroughly dis
gusted with the actions of the
pseudo-leaders who at present are
in control, will drop a ballot on
November 3d which when counted

democratic party.
What will they do for a candidate
to lead them to the doom to which
their false doctrines has already
consigned thenr?wWiH they sttpl
outside the ranks and select "a bolt
ing Teller, a republican and a. high
tariff advocate, to be their stand
ard bearer? There are those ut
the party who secretly hope fbr
such a result, but they may as well
disabuse their minds of such fool
ish expectations, for no such
vain hope will ever be realtzed.
Shades of Andrew Jackson and"
.Calhoun r How are the mighty fal
len when they entertain even tfce
remotest thought of selecting as
their champion him who has stood!
for thirty years as an exponent oi
high protection to American indus
tries. Teller whe carries the scalp
of many a doughty democratic
warriorat his belt, parading as the
great sachem of these once hostile
chiefs! Teller, as oi old time, talk
ing tariff atone time, and free traj
and free silver the next! It can
never be. The tribes will never
consent to have hin of the forked
tongue whose heart is not white on
the tariff question lead them. But
what will thev do? Who wiH ther
nominate? We give it up. There
is no accounting for what the dem
ocrats will do in an emergency.
