At 11 o’clock sharp Charles Ogden,
Airman of the state central commit*
A rapped for order and requested the
bretary to read the call. Mr. Ogden
hn announced that the state central
mmittee had decided to recommend
e names of Matt Gering of Casscoun
as temporary chairman and A. T.
aiewoou oi uawson county lor tera
»r:iry secretary. They were elected
ithout dissent.
Mr. Gering thanked the convention
ir the honor conferred upon him in a
rief but eloquent address. He con
raiulatea the democracy of Nebraska
pon the magnificent assemblage
efore him, and stated that he could
!e in the assemblage as in a mirror a
omplete refutation of the slanderous
latement that the democratic party of
ebraska was prepared to abandon its
riuciples for a policy of fusion with
iscordant .elements. He said that
lere was no occasion for this conven
on to adopt a policy or prepare a
ystem of campaign. The recent na
onai convention ut Chicago had al
eady done that.
A committee of five on credentials
as appointed ana then the committee
n permanent organization was an
ounced as foiiows: J. A. Connor of
lougias county: K. S. Bibb, Gage; J.
(. Patterson. Cass; J. M. Costello,
[olt, and Judge Wilbur of Dakota.
At this juncture a motion was made
o adjourn untii 2 o’clock, but it wag
ritbdrawn in order to permit Hon. J.
iterling Morton to read the following
ribute to Hon. A. J. Poppleton of
>maha:
••Thirty-eight years ago a democrat,
ust in the sunrise of a studious and
nanly career, began with others in
the first session of the legislative as
sembly of the territory, to lay the
foundations in Nebraska of civil gov
ernment. With othey abie and tem
perate. frugal and industrious pioneers,
he sought to establish on these plains
an educated and prosperous common
wealth. No man iaborea more faith
fully in the cause of democracy and
Tgood government, and Omaha and
iDouglas county often honored them
selves by honoring him. calling him
frequently to tne highest positions of
trust and responsility. and always with
■beneficent results to the community.
In 186t>. when the first state legisla
ture selected United States senator^
without a caucus and without solicita
tion on his part, the democrats, twenty
Iteven in number and only seven in the
minority, with hearty spontaneity,
gave every vote to Andrew Jackson
poppleton. Again, in 18ti8. Mr. Pop
plelon was called by the democracy of
the stale of Nebraska to make a cam.
paign for congress against Hon. John
TaiTe. and no one who heard Mr. Pop
pleton in that series of speeches will
ever forget his eloquence. His well
trained mind, his vast natural ability,
his tremendous acquirements, his
glowing earnestness which warmed
every word, and a presence which in
spired confidence, made him a master,
1 and the majesty of his oratory at that
! time has never been surpassed in the
state. Truthfully, ably, conscienti
ously. for more than thirty years, Mr.
Poppleton advocated the principles
and policies of a genuine democracy.
As a propagandist of the true economic
and civic faith, which can alone save
popular government from overthrow
and destruction, for nearly forty years'
Mr. Poppleton has stood pre-eminent
in the northwest and intellectually the
peer of any lawyer or publicist in the
American union.
“But, alas, in the early afternoon of
a most successful and useful life, Mr.
Poppleton is irrevocably bereft of the
sense of sight, stricken with absolute
and incurable blindness.
••Therefore, to Andrew J. Popple
ton. shut out from the dear ligh., of
day. this convention of the Nebraska
democracy sends greetings of grateful
remembrance. acknowledgement of
his valuable and long services, and
the assurance that the light of his
labors for justice ana popular govern
ment, like an unclouded sun. illumines
its march toward the overthrow of
class legislation and monopoly.”
Mr. Morton was visibly affected at
the conclusion of the reading of the
paper, and with a voice trembling with
•motion he moved the adoption of the
tribute. The motion was put and car
ried by a rising vote.
The convention then adjourned until
% o'clock.
On reassembling the committee on
credentials reported that every county
in the state was represented by n full

TIIE PLATFORM.
ine democracy or Nebraska in con
vention assembled hereby renew their
devotion and fealty to the principles
and policies of popular government as
exemplified by the record of the demo
cratic party sinct the days of Thomas
Jefferson.
We cordially indorse the democratic
platform adopted at the Chicago con
vention. emphasizing its utterances
upon the question of protection and
the passage of a force biiL
We congratulate the people of the
country on the nomination of Grover
Cleveland and Aalai Stevenson.
liailroad and all other corporations
of whatsoever kind must be held sub
servient to the law making power of
the state, and within constitutional
limitations railroads and all other cor
porations in Nebraska are and must
continue amenable to legislative re
strictions and regulations. And to
better effect a reconciliation between
popular and corporate interests in Ne
braska, and for the purpose of estab
lishing justice and maintaining an
identity of interests between the com
mon carriers and the people of this
state, between servants and masters,
we recommend the adoption of the
constitutional amendments now pend
ing creating a board of railway com
missioners elected by the people of
the state. We favor reasonable and
just laws regulating railroad charges.
We believe that senators of the
United States should be chosen by di
rect vote of the people, and we favor
the election of presidential electors by
congressional districts.
We denounce the republican party
for its system of contract convict labor
whereby it has given a single individ
ual the monopoly of all the cheap con
vict labor of the state, and brought it
in direct competition with the honest
toilers of the state, and not content
with fastening it upon the people for
ten years, have leased it for another
ten years before the expiration of the
first term.
We condemn the giving of bounties
and subsidies of any kind as a perver
sion of the taxing power.
Tne state of Nebraska has and exer
cises the right of regulating the sale
of intoxicating drinks in the interests
of good order throughout the entire
commonwealth. But the prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of such
drinks within the stale is contrary to
the fundamental principles of social
and moral conduct
We are in thorough sympathy with
the toiling interests of the country and
we observe with deep solicitude the
conflict between capital and labor, and
charge these conditions to the vicious
legislation enacted by the republican
parly, for the purpose of disbursing
taxes among the favored few and the
maintenance of privileged classes. We
denounce the employment of Pinker
ton hirelings as arbiters of the contest
between cmpltal and labor and are in
favor of a law making compulsory the
settlement by arbitration of all dis
putes between corporations and their
employes.
The democracy of Nebraska de
mand an open and fair discussion be
fore the public of all political ques
tions. and denounce as undemocratic
and un-American any attempt to de
prive our citizens of their political
rights or privileges as such because of
their race or religious faith.
We congratulate the people of the
state upon having secured the Austra
lian ballot, by means of whioh every
citizen is insured the right to cast his
vote according to his judgment, free
from intimidation and corruption.
The following resolutions were then
unanimously adopted:
llesolved. That we endorse the
course of Hon. W. J. Bryan in con
gress and point with pride to him as a
resolute champion of the masses
against the classes.
Resolved. That we endorse the
economy exercised by Governor James
E. Boyd in the management of the
public institutions under his control.
Resolved, That the splendid efforts
of the New York World and the
Omaha World-Herald in aid of the
western campaign are warmly appre
ciated by the democracy of the state
of Nebraska in convention assembled,
and we do cordially commend their
work in that behalf.
' LONDON IS IN DOUBT.
Many Believe Willie Other* Disbelieve
That Cholera I* In the Metropolis.
London. Aug. 31.—What with the
assertions and denials made regarding
the presence of cholera in England it
would be hard to decide whether or
not the cholerine cases that have oc
cured have been true Asiatic cholera
or not.
In some quarters it is positively as
serted that there is doubt that true
cholera has effected an entrance into
the country, while on the other hand
it is just as positively asserted that
the disease is nothing but simple chol
era from which no danger need be ap
prehended
Dr. Whitcomb, the sanitary officer
at Gravesend who inspected the steam
er Gemma, which arrived there from
Hamburg on Thursday last, and three
of whose passengers subsequently died
from what was said to be Asiatic
cholera, emphatically denies that the
disease was the dreaded eastern
scourge. He attended all three of the
victims in the hospital and says they
died from cholerine. He further says
that the emigrants on the Gemma
were not of the poorest class but were
greatly superior to the general run of
fdreign Jews who arrive here.
The London Evening News has re
opened the agitation against the entry
of pauper aliens. It demands that the
government issue an order to prevent
the entry of imports or immigrants
from cholera-infected ports. It adds
that several of the immigrants from
the steamer Portia have now gone to
the east end of London, where they
will probably develop the cholera in
the next few days and become centers
from which death will spread through
out the city.
WASHINGTON IS CHOSEN.
Knight* or Pythias Go Hast for Their
Kul lllennlal Conclave.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 31.—The
Supreme lodge has decided upon Wash
ington city as the place for the next
encampment of the Knights of Pyth
ias. The vote was a close one, and on
the final roll call Washington re
ceived 63, while Louisville followed
with 50. Indianapolis was not in the
contest after the preliminary skirm
ishing. No other business was con
sidered. The consideration of the pro
posed changes in the constitution were
made a special order for Wednesday.
WILL ARREST GREENHUT.
Litigation Soon to Ue lloanmad Against
the Whisky Trust.
' Boston, Mass., Aug. 31.—The whisky
trust litigation will soon be resumed.
President Grecnhut, who has been in
Europe for some time, is expected back
about the first of September, and the
capias sent out by the United States
court in Boston is in the hands of
officers in the West, who will arrest
Mr. Greenliut as soon as he returns. It
is stated that Information has'been re
ceived from the AVest by the defend
ants that when the cases are called in
Chicago, the judge, before whom the
matter is brought, will decline to go
into the question of the soundness of
the indictment, but will hold the de«
fepdants for appearance in Boston.
MnJ. McKinley Challenged.
Anderson, Ind., Aug. 31.—A chal

discussion with William McKinley at

TALT HALL HANDED
HI* Friend* Malta Mo Attempt to Hava
Ulm from tha Oalloara.
Norton,*Va., Sept 6.—Talt llall, the
| Kentucky desperado, was safely
hanged at Wise Court Hpuse at noon
yesterday. There wore fears of an at
tempt at rescue, tut none was mude.
The murderer, who had been kept con
stantly under the influence of liquor
the last few days, made a speech on
the scaffold. The drop fell at 13:34
p. ra. and life was pronounced extinct
seventeen minutes later. His neck
was broken by the fall.
The particular crime for which Hall
was sentenced was the shooting of
Special Policeman Enos B. Hylton, at
Norton, Va. Hylton was taking a pris
oner to jail, when Hall demanded that
ho release the man, and, upon the
officer's refusal, shot him in cola blood.
Hall had eloped with Hylton's sister
after murdering her husband, and
liylton is said to have sworn to kill the
man who murdered his brother-in-law,
and it is pretty certain that llall heard
of it and took advantage-of the fact of
Hylton having a prisoner under arrest
to pick a quarrel with him and kill
him. _
RIOT AT CLEVELAND.
A Thousand Clttsens Object to the Loca
tion of tha Soldiers' Mounment.
Ci.kvki.and, Sept. 0.—A crowd of
one thousand citizens attacked tho
stockade built by the monu
ment commission in the south
east section of the public
square yesterday, demolished one
of tho gates and compelled the men in
side to stop work. There is
great indignation over the at
tempt of the commissioners to locate
the new soldiers’ monument in that
part of tho square and remove the
old statue of Commodore Perry. The
city tried to stop the work through
courts, but failed. Thursday the
board of trade adopted resolutions
against the site and appointed a com
mittee to plead with the commissioners
to change the location. The commis
sioners declared that they would have
nothing to say to tho committee. To
l morrow night the Taxpayers’ league
will hold a protesting mass meeting on
the subject.
Ask for Troops to Protect the Mills.
Madison, Wis., Sept. 5.—A com
mittee of two mill-owners arrived from
[ Rhinelander, Wis., at an early hour
I yesterday morning to consult with
(iov. Peck upon the situation of the
strike in their mills, and if possiblo to
persuade him to call out the State
militia to help quiet the riotous strik
ers. The committee remained closeted
with the Governor until 5 o’clock, when
the Governor took the 5:10 train for
Milwaukee. As far as can be ascer
tained nothing definite resulted from
this consultation. Appearances indi
cate that the strike will be settled with
out the intervention of the troops.
Shot II Wire and Her Slater.
Dks Moinkb, Iowa, Sept. 5.—E. S.
Nixon, a traveling man, late last night
shot his wife and her sister, Mrs.
Joseph McArthur of Cedar Rapids. The
women were badly wounded, but not
fatally, and both are now in Cottage
hospital. Nixon was jealous of his
wife. In the evening he told her he
was going to leave the city, but in
stead bought a revolver and waited for
the male friends he supposed would
call. He says he saw two men enter
the house. The women deny there
were any men in the house. Nixon is
in jail.
Llula Borden In n Cell Once Mora.
Taunton, Mass., Sept. 5.—Lizzie Bor
den reached Taunton yesterday after
noon. She was calm and self-possessed,
and paid no attention to the staring
crowd at the station. She was taken
by carriage to the jail and installed in
her former quarters. In the Probate
court to-day Emma J. Borden was ap
pointed administratrix of the estate of
Andrew J. Borden with a bond of
$30,000. Her sureties arc Frank L.
Almy. Joseph A. Bowen of Fall River
and Frank S. Stevens of Swansea.
Will Desert the Canadian Marine.
Saui.t. Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept. S.—
It is believed that the new regulation
will freeze out many of the Canadian
boats. The Algonquin and other ves
sels are already on the way to Chicago
to go into the grain carrying trade.
This is taken as a sure indication that
the talk of the Canadian government
about refunding to vessel-owners all
the tolls collected by the United States
at the Soo was merely for effect.
Tlires Bodies Found.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Sept. 5.—
Dispatches from Newberry say that
but three bodies have been recovered
at the scene of the wreck of the West
ern Reserve. They are those of Capt.
Minch and a woman supposed to be

Wall-Planned Itobbary Frustrated by
Chance.
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 6.-—Plans worn
laid' for a big train robbery on tho Mis
souri Pacific railroad last night a short
distance this side of Kansas City, but
It was frustrated by a slight accident.
Tho train that was to have been robbed
was passenger No. 4 from the West.
It was ten minutes behind time,
and a fast freight was sent out
ahead of it. At a point called "Dead
Man’s Curve” the freight slowed up.
Suddenly two rod lanterns appeared on
each side of the track, and the en
gineer whistled for brakes. As the
train came to a standstill men rushed
down from the sides of the cut. All
were armed and muskod. One of the
gang shouted from the middle of the
train that it was a freight,
and ordered the engineer to go
ahead. Ho throw tho throttle wtdo
open, and made tho fastest possible
time to Pleasant Hill. At that point he
wired back to every station to head off
tho passenger. It was stopped at Lit
tle lilue. There was another freight
there, and It was decided to send It out
ahead of tho passenger to keep tho
robbers busy until an armed posse
could be sent on the passenger. The
freight was stopped at Dead Man’s
Curve by tho lanterns and stood still
for nearly tivo minutes, but none
of tho robbers showed themselves
on the track. The trainmen remained
on board, and, when ordered with an
oath to move on, tho engineer made
quick time to Pleasant Hill, whero he
telegraphed to the passenger at Little
lilue. When No. 4 moved out It had
ten armed men concealed in various
pirts of the train. When the train
reached Dead Man’s Curve it went
through creeping, as If challenging an
attack. There were no signs of rob
bers or any signal to stop.
