TIBBLEN Keanxet, Neb.. Aug. 3.—[Special to the Omaha Bee.]—The itate con vention of the people'* party was held in a tent pitched out on the prairie a mile from town. The tent was a rem nant of a two-ring circus that stranded at Lincoln, and in the evening made a ! gratefully cooi auditorium. A bigpiat- ; form had been erected at one side of , the canvas and the delegates were : seated in semi-circular rows of chairs standing on the ground. Encircling the chairs were the regulation seats of a circus for spectators aua the big tent was packed to overflowing with a good natured, enthusiastic crowd. Arc elec- 1 trie lamps on thetwocenler-poiesgave a fairly good illumination, and gaso- i line lamps on the platform gave otfi- ; cers and reporters an extra circus flare. ; Tne delegates were seated in alpha- ' beticui order, beginning with Adams at the left of the semi-circle, an ar rangement which made it easy to lo- i cate them, expediting business. At 8 o'cIock Chairman Woife of the ! State Committee called the convention i to order. Chaplain Diffenbacher, d'e- \ iiverea a prayer. Among other things he said: "If, as in the past, the strong ' serpent of bribery shall intrude in the i fair garden of Nebraska, may both '■ giver and receiver rest under the curse ' of Thy vengeance.” j Judge Alien of Madison county was | made temporary chairman. i 11.

A call of the roll showed 2'„’9 federal and five confederate soldiers among the delegates. A call for the bankers showed they were scarce. Chaplain DilTenbauher presented the chair with a cherry gavel that he bought in the kitchen of Washing ton's old mansion at Mount Vernon. At 1 o’clock the committee on ere dentals reported. There were no con tests except in Douglas county. El mer Thomas, J. O. Yeiser and John Jetfcoat of Omaha went before tbe committee ana demanded the substi. tution of a Powers delegation from Douglas county in place of the silling delegates. Thomas and Yeiser were given leave to present their ease. The committee voted unanimously against them. The report of the committee was adopted and the temporary organization was made permanent. C.

Powers took the platform, and in reply to the reports of a Powers faction, he stated his life was devoted to the cause of the army of the people. He then announced that in the interest of that army and for the saxe of that urmy his name must not be presented to the convention for nny ofiice. Motions to nominate by acciamation were ruled out of order and the roll call was ordered for an informal bal lot. BulTalo county cast eight votes for Lecse, Butler one, Burt one, Cass two. Chase four, Cheyenne two and Clay three. Then Mr. I.eese arose to a question of privilege and announced that he was not a candidate. He said he was for Van YVvck for governor and he moved the nomination of the general be made by acclamation. There were objections from the Powers side and the motion was ruled out of order. Notwithstanding Leese's refusal to be a candidate some of the supporters of Powers continued to vote for him. The ballot resulted: Van Wyck, 552; Leese. 147; Poynter. 6. Van YVyck’s nomination was then made by acciamation. SYNOPSIS OK THE PLATKOltM. The commilte on resolutions re ported the following platform, which was adopted with little discussion: The rates for iike service in the slate of Iowa and in the enactment of such law und the regulations of freight charges. Railways in inis state snail be classified und rates adjusted in pro portion to the traffic, and to the end that exact justice may be done to ail. YY e are opposed to the restoration of the sugar bounty, in any form, by the state of Neoraska. - . \Yo demand of our next legislature passage of an act to prescribe the mode of payment of obligation* of debt contracted, to be paid in money, as follow*: Be it enacted, etc.. That from and after the passage of this act ail obli gation* contracted to be payable in money shall be payable in any money authorized by the United State* govern ment, and any stipulation to the con trary in said contract or obligation is hereby declared void. We demand the submission of an imecdment to the constitution of this itate providing that the permanent •chool fund may be loaned to citizens of Nebraska on first mortgage on pro ducing real e»tate at an interest of not more than 5 per cent as is now dons in many of tbe states of the union. We are opposed to a system of gov ernment that allows corporations ot individual* of tbe United Slates tc employ Pinkertons or any other armed force to intimidate and coerce organ ized labor. We favor such legislation as shall require all differences between em ployers to be submitted to a commit tee of arbitration and the enforcement of the decision of such committee. We demand the election of presi dent, vice president and United States sentaors by direct vote of the people. We favor equal pay for both men and women. We demand a more prompt delivery of independent mail matter, as we be lieve such mail matter is not always delivered promptly. We denounce the convict labor system as practiced in Nebraska. Several resolutions were reported by the committee without, recommenda tion. and the following were adopted: Kesoived, That, whereas, at the last session of the legislature f50,000 was appropriated as Nebraska’s contribu tion to the World's fair to be held in Chicago in 1893, we, the members of the state convention, recommend that no further appropriations from the different counties or state legislature either directly or indirectly, be made for this purpose, and further that we set our seal of condemnation against its managers for their refusal to recog nize the just claims of labor in the construction of the works and build ings. Kesoived, That inasmuch as the state militia Is only an expensive or nament fostered by that element who seems disposed to add to the already heavy burdens of taxation, to create an army in time of peace to protect capital and intimidate labor, we ask for its abolition nr a refusal to make an appropriation for it to continue its expensive folly or parade its arrogant menace. READY FOR IfNICHTS. Pnahlng I’reparutlona fur the Reception or the Templars* Denver, Col., Aug. 5.—This city fairly teems with good-natured rivalry on the part of interested citizens anxi ous to excel in decorating business blocks and homes in honor of the com ing Knights Templar conclave. Ar tists from the principal cities of the United States are on the ground and are rustling to fill orders. Already banners are flying, emblems are dis played in profusion, and the general colors of the order meets one's eye on every side. The hotel committee has been ac tively at work for nearly a year syste matically arranging every detail in an ticipation of the immense gathering. The committee divided the city into districts, and a house to house canvass has been made. A system of books was used. Ky Saturday every availa ble room and bed in the city will be taken and registered. Although some 0,000 Sir Knights and their friends have been located, there will be no trouble in placing 15,000 to 20,000 more. Among all the committees none have done more laborious or better work for the conclave. TROUBLE EXPECTED. Americans Reported to lie EMroachlng on tlie Three-Mile Limit. Halifax, N. S., Aug. 5.—The air is full of rumors of American vessels fish ing inside the three-mile limit. A re port was current that the cruiser Vigilant had captured a vessel fish ing in prohibited waters along the western coast of Halifax, but United States Counsel General Frye has no confirmation of the report. A special from Digby says mackerel have struck in along the shore of St. Mary’s Bay, and that traps and seines are taking from fifty to one hundred barrels ol No. 1 fish each tide. This a great temptation to American mackerel men, who are hovering sus piciously near the three-mile limit. In consequence the Dominion government has dispatched the cruiser Kingfisher to the scene of the alleged poaching, and some seizures may be looked for. , ROBERT PINKERTON NOTIFIED. Us Says He Can Be Found at Hie Desk and Will Not Run Away. New York, Aug. 5.—Robert Pinker ton was busy at his desk when told that informations had been lodged against him at Pittsburg for murder and warrants issued. "This is the first I have heard of it. But it won’t make any difference with me. I shall not run Sway and hide, like Mr. O’Don nell, nor shall I go scouring around the country like he did on pretended mis sions. When the officers come for mo they will find me right here at my desk. I have done nothing to be afraid of, nor has any one connected with this agency. We did our duty and pro tected the property and lives of our employers.” S?3iOOO S\%-lndler A rrt'Mted. New York.

The republicans of Nebraska in con vention assembled affirm their princi ples enunciated in the platform adopted by the national republican convention at Minneapolis, and most heartily en dorse the wise, clean, firm and truly American administratiou of President Harrison. The republican party is the friend of iabor in the factory, miil. mine and on the farm. It will at ail times stand ready to adopt any measure that may improve its condition or promote its We deplore the occurrence of any conflict between labor and capital. We denounce the agitation of demagogues designed to foment conflicts; and we most earnestly disapprove the use of private armed forces in any way to settle them. We believe that an ap peal to law and its officers is aniDie to protect property and preserve the peace and favor the establishment in some form of boards or tribunals of conciliation and arbitration for the peaceful settlement of aii disputes be tween capital and labor and such ques tions as pertain to the safety and physical and moral well being of the workingmen. We believe in protecting the labor ing men by ail necessary and judicious legislation, and to this end we favor the enactment of suitable laws to pro tect the health, life and limb of all employes of transportation, mining and manufacturing companies while engaged in the service of such com panies. The farmers of this state, who con stitute the chief element of our pro ductive wealth-creating population, are entitled to the cheapest and best facilities for storing, shipping and marketing their products, and to this end we favor such laws as will give them cheap, safe and easily obtainable elevator and warehouse facilities, and will furnish them promptly and with out discriminational just and equitable rates proper transportation facilities for all accessible markets. We demand the enactment of laws regulating the rate charged by express companies within this state to the end that such rates may be made reason able. We favor the adoption of the amend ment to the constitution providing for an elective railroad commission em powered to fix iocal passenger and freight rates. v We are in favor of the postal tele graph and postal savings banks sys tem ana rural free delivery. Trusts and combinations to control and unduly enhance the price of com modities are a great evil and we favor all proper legislation to eradicate and repress them. The revenue laws of this state should be carefully revised by a commission of competent persons representing the principal industries of the state to tne end that aii property rightfully subject to taxation may be made to cav its just proportion of the public revenues. The debt of this nation to the men who preserved it can never be paid lu dollars and cents. The republican ■ parly o' Nebraska cordially and ear* nestly favors a system of pensions so liberal as to properly provide for the living and tenderly protect from want the widows and orphans of the dead.
