Ghtcago. July S. Onlv a'tevr hsnrs
remain, be fere the Democratic nniional
convention is called to order, and tTere
is the intense strain,, the bounding
enthusiasm, the surging of the crowds,
and the hurried arraignment of details
which mark the near approach of the
crisis. Convention -week opened auspi
cicusrr in point of weather, and the
veterans of the national gatherings do
not recall a time when clear skies and
cool breezes contributed to the conifer s .
of the convention hosts.
Earlv in the day the full strength of
the convention crowd began to assert
itself; every train, braughi political uni
formed cmbs, bands of music and fifes
and drum corps. They came in the full
regaTia of conventions, with that indi
viduality which the silver movement
has given to its advocates. Some of the
clubs were uniformed in light crash
cTtirc -with rnll irmv hats, others bore
fiamienK- rnanv carried horns and
other instruments of discord, and all
seemed bent on noise and demonstration-
The third section of the "Dick
Bland Marching club" put in an ap
pearance at? o'clock, reinforcing the
2,500 already here- They made an at
tack on the hotels and aroused the oc
cupants from their slumbers. The Ne-,
braska silver train arrived with a blaze-
of bunting and unloaded 1,000 silver j
shout ers. The Boies people- were
cheered by the coming of a big delega-'
Hon from the heart of Iowa. Louis- i
ville contributed the stylish Blackburn
club.
Settle Ahobj Candidates.
Thp battle among the candidates is
TfwTirn'r its critical stase. A telecram
from "Vice President- Stevenson, stating '
that iris election to congress in 187S was ,
Ine result of fife advocacy of the retnon- j
ptbarhm of sHver is attracting much, at- '
tendon. It came last night in answer
toxrtingtnry from ex-Congressman T. j
"W. McXealy, and is regarded as hav

is said he coses at the suggestion of

who believe none of the candidates now
in the field has demoastrated ability to

the Sxaetk CaraKfla delegation, which is

PBQG-BAM SOLD ME.
WMtsey Advises Them to Stand Toother
and Act SelMlj" In CoRveatioa.
Chicago, July 6. The program of
the gold men has begun to assume
Ehape, though: It has not been entirelj
agreed udon, nor has it been submitted
to but very1 few leaders of the anti-silvei
forces. During the gold conferences
Mr. Whitney, who is the. recognizee
leader of the gold forces, has counselled
the anti-silver men to stand togethei
and be ready to act in a solid bodj
when occasion requires. He has not in
dicated what action is to be taken, bul
refers to it as something that is to be
decided upon later. It is understood,
as the matter stands, the course is nol
to walk out of the convention, but tt
remain until the dose.
Then, when the silver men have fin
ished and adjourned, a conference wit
be held and arrangements made for s
convention some weeks later of antisit
ver Democrats for the purpose of put
ting in nomination a man whom thej
can support.
Of course, if the E2ver men go to tht
extreme of turning out the gold dele
gates in "MTcMfTan and capturing thai
states bolt may be immediately precip
itated, but the convention to be held tc
select a gold candidate is not likely tc
be hastened by an actual bolting
convention- There are a number
of gold men who are very much
opposed tq, this. They would prefer that
no candidate be put up so that they
could remain within the organization
and vote against the ticket named by
the silver men. This course is pre
ferred by the western men, who feel
that the silver organization will be very
strong in their states, and bolters would
get a cold shoulder in the future. It is
understood that the eastern men feel
that the best way to withhold votes
from the silver ticket is by putting up. a
candidate.
AEGUUTG- THE OASE FOB TELLEE.
CeBgresaaiaa Skafralli Believe Me Xs the
Only Logical -Candidate.
Chicago,. July (J. Congressman Shaf
roth of Colorado, when asked what was
the political situation today, said: "It
seems to me that it is becoming more
apparent each, day that the logical can
didate of the situation Is Senator Teller
aifdrtef he is"niost" the only man uporr
whom all the silver forces can unite.
'The reason the Populist-party, repre
senting a silver strength, of 2,0t)0,00G
votes, will not indorse a Democrat, nom
inated by a Democratic convention, is
very apparent- It is not because a Dem
ocrat is any less loyal to the silver cause
than a number of their own party nor
on account of any objection to the can
didate. It is because an indorsement of
a straight Democratic ticket would work
a dissolution of the People's party. It
would mean the absorption of that party
by the Democratic party. The Populists,
through their leaders, say that although
they are willing to make silver the issue
this year, they are not willing to aban
don the other principle? of their party,
and hence must make a nomination of
their own unless this candidate is agreed
upon.
Democrats cannot expect that the
great mass of the political opponents
will in one leap land into their party.
The Democratic party has not enough
votes to win at this election without the
Populis s and silver Republicans and it
is unquestionably to the interest of the
silver cause to agree upon a man that
all the silver forces will support."
California Kill road Finnic-
Chicago, July R, The California rail
way issue is to play its part in the con
vention. A plank, which indorses the
action of the 53d congress in defeating
the BetUy Pacific railroad refunding
bill, will be presented to the committee
on resolutions and it3 incorporation in
the platform asked for. There was talk of
a plank committing the party against
any plan for funding the Pacific railroad
debts to the government, but the Cali
fornia men concluded tit t the chances
of securing such a plank were smaller
than for the less comprehensive expres
sion. Speaking- of Mr. Cadys speech, in
this city last Friday evening; the
Kearney Hub says: "
There was a "whirlwind of ap
plause when Mr. Cady mounted the
stage of the convention hall to
make acknowledgement of the nom
ination, which, soon developed into
a hurricane of yells and cheers,
which eddied, and whirled until it
became a cyclone of enthusiasm.
Mr. CadyTs reputation as a speaker
and debater was established long
since, but his speech of last Friday
evening- was one of the greatest
ever listened to In Nebraska, no
matter by whom delivered, and one
that would give him a front place in
any political assemblage in the
country. It bristled with, facts. It
was forceful in style and deliverr.
It snarkled with, erjip-ram ?nrf
phrases that were as sharp as
needle points. Its parables con
veyed intelligence to the under
standing- witri the penetrating
power of an X ray. And withal,
while lacking- in invective, and show
ing; an absence of spleen, contained
throughout a. Tent of humor that
was irresistible while not in the
least exuberant. For three quar
ters of an hour the applause was
continuous and at times extrav
agant. The only disappoirrtmert
was the close. Everyone wanted
rcqre. And the ovation that fol
lowed was something- to be remem
bered for a lifetime.
CUT COUJfCIL 2XGCESBI5iiS.
The city legislature held a pro
longed session last evening; all the
members but Senate being present-
After the usual routine werk had
been performed, fire chief Graves
appeared before the council and
stated that O. "W. Slzemore had
made a propositiott to put up a
telephone line between his shop
and the waterworks plant for the
benefit of the fire department, he to
supply the necessary instruments.
This proposition was promptly
accepted and the marshal was in
structed to .assist in .stringinir the
wires. The line will prove of great
convenience during- a fire-
A communication from Mrs. W.
F. Cody was read m which she
complained of the condition ot the
slough, just west of her residence.
This slough, it seems, becomes
filled with water from the Irriga
tion laterals, and as there is no
outlet, the water becomes stag
nant and produces a very bad odor.
B. L Hinman was present and ex
plained where the water came from
and why ft became stagnant-
Messrs. Cody and Buckworts bad
filled up the slough, which is "a
natural waterwa-v. and as a result
the water which accumulated from
the ditches and from rainfalls had
no outlet. He doubted the right of
anyone to fill up the slough, withottt
providing- an ontlet for the water.
The matter was referred to the
committee.
Mrs. Mary J. Uance, mother of
Mrs. T. F. Redmond, presented a
claim for S250 for injuries sustained
by falling- on a defective sidewalk.
The accident occurred on the 5th
of June on the sidewalk along- the
east side of the Episcopal church
property- The claim was referred
to the proper commitiee.
The council then Indulged in a
lengthy discussion of the street
lamp question, and concluded by
instructing- the clerk: to make three
plats of the city showing- the street
corners upon which the lamps
should be located In the residence
portion of the city.? These plats
will be jiiven to theentlemea whe
are soliciting- funds with which to
purchase lamps, and by the aid of
said plats subscribers can be shown
the exact location ot each lamp.
The warrant drawn a year ar
in favor of the Inter State Fire
Alarm Co. was ordered cancelled in
the presence of the mayor and coun
cil. The annual levy of tea in life for
the general fund was then made,
and after nearly an hour's discus
sion a seven mill levy for the water
fund was ordered- The point in
debate was whether the levy should
be five or seven mills, and Tiiom-
son made a strong- fifbt
against
the latter levy, but he failed to con
vert any of the council men who
held for the seven mills
After .ordering- a warrant drawn
for S440 in favor of Snpt. Coleman,
of the water company, the council
adjourned to meet to-night when
claims against the city will be ap
proved. GABY EOHISATEI.
The long drawn out
contest
for
the congressional nomination at
the convention held in this city last
Friday resulted in the selection of
A. E- Cady, of St. Paal, as the
nominee. Thirty-seven ballots
were taken prior to adjournment at
5:30, but at no time did the candi
date having- the highest vote come
within twenty votes of having- a
majority. After supper five more
ballots were taken, and on the
forty-third ballot Dawson and Cus
ter counties threw their full
strength to Cady, thus making- him
the nominee. The announcement
of this result was greeted with en
thusiastic and prolonged applause
by the Cady men. Hats and coats
were thrown in the air. men
mounted chairs and yelled, and for
a few minutes pandemonium
reigned.
Loud cries for Cady brought that
gentleman before the audience, and
he delivered what many consider
the best political speech ever de
livered In North Platte. His re
marks were to the point and ac
companied by a dry humor, made
them the more effective. He ar
raigned the democratic party for its
incompetency and denounced the
fallacy of the free silver craze
Speeches were also made bv
Judge Wall. Frank Beam an and
Captain Akers. who contested the
nomination with. Cady.- each of
whom pledged their earnest and
and hearty support to the nomi
nee of the convention.

kind words upon those
who are not deserving-:
The re
publicans of the Sixth district are
to be congratulated upon the selec
tion they have made in their candi
date for congress. Hon. A. E. Cady
.is in every respect qualified to rep
resent the district and state credit
ably in the national legislature
He has experience as a lawmaker,
and ranks among- the best parlia
mentarians in the state. His leg
islative record Is unassailable and
commends him to popular confi
dence. While always an ardent re
publican, he has been outspoken
for reform within as well as with
out the party. He has been a con
sistent and uncompromising op
ponent of jobbery and dishonest
political methods and may fee de
pended on to sustain at Washing
ton the reputation he has already
estabKshed.
Mr. Cady is an earnest, forcible
and losricai speaker, who- wIt ore-
sent and discsss the vital issaes of
the campaign in a. manner that will
be instructive and convincing-. 2So
frnan in the Sixth district is as well
equipped to make a methodical and
aggressive campaign. As chair
