Omaha, Nebt, Sept. Ii7.—The demo
cratic state convention met in this city
yesterday, being called to order by
Euclid Martin, chairman of the state
central committee.
Ed Smith of Douglas was made tem
porary chairman.
The various committees having been
appointed the convention took a recess
for one hour.
On reassembling. Chairman McMani
gal from the committee on credentials
presented his report. The committee
reported but three contests, from
Otoe, Thayer and Madison counties.
The Bryan delegates from the last two
named counties were admitted without
controversy.
As to Otoe county, the committee
recommended that each faction be
given nine delegates. The convention
adopted the report, but everything was
not satisfactory to the delegates from
Otoe. 1). 1*. ltolf, as chuirman of the
administration delegates from that
county, said that he and his colleagues
would not accept the terms of the com
promise. lie said they were either en
titled to the full representation or none
at all, and consequently he for one did
not propose to stand it. Whereupon
Holt and the administration delegates
walked out of the hall.
The committee on permanent organ
ization recommended the election of
W. 11. Oldham of Buffalo as the perma
nent chairman of the convention, with
D. B. lionin of Douglas, F. J. Morgan
of Cass and C. E. Apgar of Adams as
secretaries. The recommendation was
adopted and the permanent chairman
took the platform.
Robert Clegg of Richardson moved
the appointment of a committee of
seven on resolutions. The chair ap
pointed as such Clegg of Richardson,
Smyth of Douglas, Thomsen of Dodge,
Dahlman of Dawes, Kellager of Ne
maha, Stevens of Adams and Marvin of
Gage.
Edwards of Lancaster moved that W.
J. Bryan be nominated for. United
States senator and a roll call was de
manded, which proceeded for a while,
whereupon VV. H. Thompson of Hall
county claimed that there was no op
position and he moved that the roll call
be dispensed with and that Bryan be
made the democratic candidate for
United States senator by acclamation.
Every county represented cast its vote
for Bryan, and Kitchen of Douglas,
Pahlman of Dawes and Thompson of
Hau were delegated to conduct the
nominee to the platform. Mr. Bryan,
however, had temporarily withdrawn
from the convention.
C. J. Smyth offered the following
resolution:
We fully endorse the course of Hon.
W. J. Bryan in congress, and we com
pliment Senator Allen and Congressmen
McKeighen and Kem on the work done
by them in behalf of the people of Ne
braska.
The resolution was adopted after a
spirited debate.
The next business in order being
nominations the ticket given at the
head of this column was chosen. Five
of the nominees are those of the popu
list state ticket. For the offices or sec
retary of state, state treasurer and state
auditor the convention nominated
democrats.
THE PLATFORM.
We, the rank and and file of the de
mocracy of Nebraska, at last in conven
tion assembled, send greeting to the
common people who constitute the
Strength of the democracy of the na
tion.
We renew our allegiance to the prin
ciples taught by Thomas Jefferson and
courageously defended by Andrew
Jackson; and we demand that th?
great political problems of today be
solved by the application of these prin
ciples to present conditions.
Believing that a public official is a
public servant and deserving of praise
or censure according to his acts, we
commend President Cleveland for his
honest and economical administration
of the government, and dissent from
such of his financial views as are repug
nant to the teachings of the fathers
and opposed to the welfare of our
people.
Believing that “all men are created
equal," and that all are alike entitled
to the consideration of government, we
denounce as unjust and unjustifiable
the protective tariff system which,
through the instrumentality of class
legislation, robs the many for the ben
efit of the few. We demand a tariff
for revenue only, and point to the Wil
son bill as it passed the house of repre
sentatives as a reasonable fulfillment
of the promises made by the democratic
party in the campaign of 1892. While
we do not condone the acts of those
democratic senators who modified the
Wilson bill in the senate, we accept
the bill as it finally passed as the best
measure attainable under the circum
stances, and as a great improvement
over the McKinley law.
We especially approve of the income
tax and favor its retention as a perma
nent part of our revenue system.
We endorse the language used by
lion. John G. Carlisle in 1878, when he
denounced the “conspiracy" to destroy
silver money as “the most gigantic
crime ot this or any other a^e " and
we agree with him that “the°consum
motion of such a scheme would ulti
mately entail more misery upon the hu
man race than all the wars, pestilences
an:, famines that ever occurred in the
history of the world.” We are not
willir.r- to be parties to such a crime
and in order lo undue the wrom- al
re: dv done and to prevent the further
appreciation of money, we favor the
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver at
the present ratio of 16 to 1, not waiting
for the aid or consent of any other na
tion on earth:
We regard the right to issue money
as an attribute of sovereignty and be
lieve that all money needed to supple
ment the gold and silver coinage of the
constitution, and to make the dollar so
stable in its purchasing power that it
will defraud neither debtor nor credi
tor, should be issued by the general
government as the greenbacks were
issued; that such money should be re
deemable in coin, the government to
exercise the option by redeeming in
gold or silver, whichever is most con
venient for the government. We be
lieve that all money issued by the gov
ernment, whether gold, silver or paper,
should be made a full legal tender for
all debts, public and private, and that
no citizeii should be permitted to de
monetize by contract that which the
government makes money by law.
We are in lavor of the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people, and in cuse the senate
refuses to allow an amendment which
will secure the direct election of sena
tor, we are in favor of calling a con
vention or states to submit such an
amendment for ratification by the
states.
we are in favor of a constitutional
amendment making the president inel
igible for re-election.
We are in favor of the operation of
the telegraph in connection with the
postal system.
We are in favor of a liberal pension
policy.
We are in favor of the arbitration of
differences between large corporate
employers and their numerous em
ployers.
We are in favor of the foreclosure, as
soon as due, of the liens of the govern
ment against the Union Pacific and
other Pacific railroads.
believing that the duty of the repre
sentative is to represent the will and in
terests of his constituents, we condemn
as undemocratic any attempt by cau
cus dictation to prevent the representa
tive from voicing the sentiments of his
people upon public questions.
We believe in the right of every indi
vidual to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience, and we
condemn as unAmeritan and contrary
to the spirit of our institutions any at
tempt to apply a religious test to the
citizen or to the official. We appeal to
all democrats who may have been led
into political hostility to the members
of any church to remember the prin
ciples of religious liberty promulgated
by Thomus Jefferson and defended by
the party which he organized.
We approve of the maximum rate bill
passed by the last legislature, and fa
vor its re-enactment if it is declared
void by the court on account of irregu
larities which can be remembered.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the platform George P. Marvin of Gage
county and editor of the Ueatrice Dem
ocrat, presented a minority report upon
the money plank. It was a follows:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver, without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mintage, but
the following unit of coinage of both
must be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value or be adjusted through in
ternational agreement, or by such safe
guards of legislation as shall insure the
maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power of every
dollar at times in the markets and in
the payment of debts.
the
ine resolution was tabled and
platform as before given adopted.

AXOTHER TICKET RECOMMENDED.
The democrats of Gage and Hall who
withdrew from the regular convention
met at the Paxton cafe.
A committee was appointed to name
a state ticket and the following was
recommended:
Governor—John A. McShane of Doug
las.
Lieutenant Governor—John D. Car
son of Fillmore.
Secretary of State—D. P. Rolfe of
Otoe.
Auditor—Otto Bauman of Cuming.
Treasurer—Lake Breidenthal of
Gage.
Attorney General—John II. Ames of
Lancaster.
Commissioner of Public Lands and
Buildings—Jacob Bigler of Chase.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
—Milton Doolittle of Holt
Mr. McShane promptly declined to
be candidate for governor and sug
gested P. D. Sturtevant of Fillmore in
his place. This was done and Mr Stur
tevant heads the ticket
John D. Carson was also anxious not
to run. He was excused and It E.
Dumphy of Seward was put on for lieu
tenant governor. Captain Alley moved
that the revised ticket be adopted, and
this was done.
1 he committee was authorized to fill

The following platform was adopted:

We reaffirm our allegiance to the prin
ciples of the democratic party as pro
mulgated by Thomas Jefferson, em
phasized by Andrew Jackson and ex
emplified in the wise, able and patri
otic administration of Grover Cleve
land.
We indorse the principles of faith as
set forth in the national democratic
platform adopted at Chicago in 1892,
including the money plank, and we ac
cept the construction placed upon that
plank by Grover Cleveland as a sound
interpretation, and insist that every
dollar issued or coined by the govern
ment shall be as good as every other
dollar. While the Wilson tariff bill
does not embrace the full measure of
tariff reform, we regard its passage as
a step in the right direction and we
heartily indorse its provisions, securing
cheaper and freer raw materials and
lower ia.\es.
We believe in and demand reasonable
and just railroad legislation.
We denounce the republican party of
this state for its extravagance and mis
management of public affairs. Believ
ing in the eternal principles of demo
cracy we are unalterably opposed to
fusion with any political party and pro
claim ourselves democrats in fact, as
well as in name.
THE PEARY EXPEDITION.
The Relief Party and Mrs. Peary and
Baby Reach Philadelphia*
Philadelphia, Sept. 27.—The little
steamer Falcon, with the Peary re
lief party and members of the expedi
tion on board, arrived yesterday after
noon. Long before the vessel reached
her moorings thousands of people
had gathered at the wharves in the
vicinity to welcome the explorers. As
soon as the Falcon was tied to the
dock, Mrs. Peary, with her baby and
an Esquimaux girl, whom Mrs. Peary
brought with her, were escorted
aboard a train for Washington, the
home of her mother. The brave little
woman showed plainly by her man
ner that she was much chagrined be
cause of her husband s determination
to remain in the Arctic regions. She
declares she is going north again
next summer and bring him back to
civilization if she has to drag him.
Commander Bryant, who had charge
of the relief party, says the expedi
tion was a great success.
“We made many valuable collec
tions, the ethnological specimens be
ing very rare. 1 think we have the
finest series of photographs of life
and scenes in the Arctic country that
were ever taken.”
All on board were very reticent. It
is said an embargo has been placed on
their lips for five days or longer, and
it will therefore be difficult to get in
formation about the trip. It was in
timated by one of the men with
Peary that several who came away
would have remained with the ex
plorer in the frozen North but for the
scarcity of food.
When asked if it was true the ex
plorer and his party had been com
pelled to eat whale blubber, the men
declined to either confirm or deny the
story.
It is believed, however, that Peary
is threatened with a lack of food that
may become serious. The Falcon will
load with coal here and return im
mediately to St. Johns.
REMAINS OF COLGATE FOUND.
A Leg and Thigh Bone All That Was
Left of the Deserted Cook*
Missoula, Mont., Sept 27.—The
Missoulan contains a sensational story
of the recovery and burial of the re
mains of George Colgate, deserted
cook of the notorous hunting party
headed by William A. Carlin, the sou
of General Carlin, late commander of
the department of the Columbia.
The discovery was made about
August 23 by Lieutenant Elliott, eight
miles below the spot where the de
sertion occurred on the Clearwater
river. All that remained of Colgate’s
body was a thigh bone and one leg,
and these were mangled and gnawed
by wild beasts infesting that region.
It is presumed the balance of the re
mains were carried away by the ani
mals into mountain fastnesses. At
the same spot also was found the
match box, fishing lines and other
articles identified as Colgate’s prop
erty.
The remains were interredin Lower
Hot Springs, on the Middle fork of
the Clearwater. Lientenant Elliott
was sent out on this mission by the
present commander of the depart
ment of the Columbia, to which of
ficial he will make a full report,
there being many points tending to
prove Colgate’s desertion was cow
ardly in the extreme.

estimated by the French statisticia
says Mr. Morss, that the crops of 1*
throughout the world will be 33 j
cent in excess of the world’s dema:
for consumption and seed. The annt
consumption of wheat in Franct
estimated at from 113,000.000 to I:
000,000 hectolitres, an amount in r
cess of, if equal to the probable t
mestic production for the cum
year. On July 31 the amount of i
ported wheat awaiting withdraw
for consumption from the custom r
trepots was 559,620 hectos, so i:
there will be a large surplus over m
probable demand for the next twe

that in Belgium, Holland and t
United Kingdom, which admit wb*
free, the current prices are less u.
in Paris.
