PRI6B FIVH GENTS, I 1 DEPRESSION Tho norrifcwhnt rnmnrkublo rain of Monday and Tuesday hml n torn- Iporarlly depressing effect on the rotnU 'trade In thto city; but it won followed by 'it feeling of onso and greater conlldonco in tho crop prospect that qulto nuido up fcr tHo loss of two day's busineBB. Tho rain, which ncemcd to bo pretty general 'Ctoflt -of Hastings, camo in tiiuo to save many a corn Hold. It could havo dono more-good if it had como a couplo of ' weeks" Boonor, but as it was, it was of in- 'caTctllnblo bonoilt. It is very generally admitted now, ex- 'cept by a few chronic croakora who 'woiild grumble In paradise and Jlnd fault 'wlih perfection, that tho crops this year 'will avcrago up very well. There arc 'some bad siotfl, it is true; but there always are. In tho eastern part of tho state, for instance between Lincoln and Omaha there are a good many corn Holds that presented a sickly appcaranco be fore tho rain, and it is doubtful if tho worst of theso were helped any by the downpour. But oven in this region, which suffered moro from drouth than any other portion of tho Htato, there are many very good Holds observable, and pome of the corn will givo u big crop. In tho west and in thoso sections which are tho main dopondonco of tho state, agriculturally, there has been more rain, and cropB are in fair condition, with hero and there a bad 'spot. Hut all things considered tho crop in tho aggre gate will bo good. It Is believed it will bo up to tho average. There is moro land under cultivation than ever before, tho acrcago of corn being specially large. Oats, contrary to expectation, yielded fairly well; in somo favored sections there wbb what might bo called a very good "crop. But If Nebraska Is assured a good crop, there is another condition that confronts us that at thiB moment ap pears qulto formidable, namely, tho in adequacy of tho supply of monoy to move tho crop. It will bo somo timo, however, boforo tho crop is ready to movo, and with monoy loosening every day, tho , prospect is not nearly so bad ub it was. Those peplo who must complain ubout something are now putting inthoir spare tlmo bemoaning prospective low prices, and it niust bo confessed, not without t- somo reason. Pork and iork products havo been high for a long time, but there has lwen a big fall, and prices will prob ably go upward very slowly. Wheat is . always depressed concurrently with tho mnnnv market. Tho small cron of corn hvmofltof tho states ought to raise tho . prico of that staphs, and it undoubtedly will havo u wholesome intluonce. There ris timo for a material change for the bettor Id prices boforo tho crop is mar keted, ' moreover. Local 'merchants continuo to take a i hopeful viowofi tho situation. Business is, gradually improving, 'and there is . reason to look forward to a fair Septem ber trade. A gooddeul-depends on tho state fair. ..If thofalr is a success it will open up i..fall trado several weeks earlier than would bo tho cbbo otherwise. Merchants i are 'beginning to look forward to tho annual agricultural show with much . genuine interest. What is tho prospect hero? So many things atfect tho at tendance at tho state fair that it is manifestly difficult to form a Butisfactory estimate. Tho fair draws its supjiort from tho farming class, and it is a fact that this class has been tho least alleoted by tho financial depression. Tho crop will bo fairly good, and there is no tcason -why tho farmers should not turn out in round numbers. Of course there is tho world's fair. But it is not believed that it will affect tho Btato exhibition as much as was at Hrst feared. A vory largo per- ccntago of peoplo havo by this time reconciled themselves to uon-uttondanco ,upon tho Chicago fair, und or thoso who intend going in tho fall, many will ur- range their trip so as to includo a day or two at tho stato fair. Secretary Furnas, in a lettorto tho editor of Tur.Couitir.it, says that unusual, oaro has boon taken in tho protwration for tho annual fair, . and that this' year's exhibition will, in his opinion, bo most successful. Ho says but'ono thing ouu- prevont a good attendance rain, and it in notorious that theolcmonta lmvo always boon ravoraoiy 'disposed toward tho fair. . All things i considered, tho attendance will probably lo'a llttlo ituulor tho uverago, but it will Ijo big enough to havo a salutary otTect on business in.' Lincoln. Tho fair is worth a big 'pot of monoy to this city, , and now that there is only one more year of tho'allotted llvo left, tho tner- chants are beginning to realize It. " Tho feeling in Lincoln can bo said to be much -improved. Tho banks are 'all fooling tho beneficial effects of returning conlldonco.- In somo cases there has been a heavy . increase in deposits. It seems to bo only uques- ' tion of-a short time when -tho. patrons of tho savings banks will como back with their monoy, as tho tide has certainly turned. Iteal estate dealers think they see In tho present depression and snore an opportunity to attract purchasers, par ticularly that class that withdrew money from tho savings banks, and as noon an things ease up again it in quite possible that there will bo considerable activity in real estate, particularly in cheap lots sold on tho Instalment plan. Tiir Couiiir.it takes pleasure in pre senting below tho opinions of many noted men, in different walks of life, on tho Hnnncial depression. Many dlvorso opinions are expressed, and the articles will bo found to bo an interesting con tribution on a subject that is just now of vital interest: From the Governor of Colorndu. In answer to your recent favor asking what Is my opinion of tbo cuutto of tho present depression and the remedy I state: The can so Is a money famine brought on by a contraction of the currency in withdraw ing greenbacks and treasury notes from circulation ami tho demonetization of sti ver, thereby enhancing tbo value of gold and reducing the value of all commodities, including silver, which ht-cume. a mere com modity from tbo tiuiu England passed through congress tliu act of IbTil, demone tising silver (yea, hi Ihemaluth straying it). reducing the aggregate of money to onc Imlf of wlmt it lind been, making the labor and merchandise of this country tributary to England. The .Sherman law, which tho eastern gold barons, capitalists and plutocrats are anx ious to repeal, cuts no figure in the present jianic, except that the. amount of silver cer tificates Utiied in purmiancu (hereof relieves tho depression In the ratio Mich amount bears to the volume of circulating money. I have no doubt that the primary cause of tho enormous shrinkage In values is due to the vicious destruction of silver by the act of 1873, which was tho entering wedge to tho panic of 1873, commencing tu thu sum mer of that year, which panic wiw rome what relieved by the Bland act of 1878 and by the Sherman act of ItW), but tho viola tion of the Sherman net in piling up silver bullion In tho treasury and not tanning sil ver certificates as required by law broke open tho healed sore, and tho increasing population and votumuof business requited to keep pace with a growing population for want of an increased money circulation compelled thu debtor and general business class, including the banks, to go into liauk ruptcy. The remedy In: First An net of congress re-estubllshlng free and linlimltcd coinage of silver at thu present legal ratio of 10 to 1. Second The abolition of all national nnd statu banks. Third Increasing tho circulation of mon ey to not less than W) per capita. Fourth All money to bo Issued by the notional government only, and in the eveut J that gold and silver obtained shall not bu sufficient to establish a circulation of mon ey to tho full nmoiiutof $S0 per rapita then issuo treasury notes or green lucks, or both, to such nn amount that gold ami silver treasury notes and greenbacks added to gether shall aggregatu tlm fuH sum of $.7) per capita, and that such sum sliull be in creased (if found necessary) to enable a growing population nnd volume of trade to do business on a cash basis. Tbo Sherman act of 181)0 should not be repealed without an net for tho free find uiiliinlt.il rnlnnirn of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 be substituted In Its place. DAVIS II. Waitk. Executive Chamber, Denver. From K. Ilrnjamln Amiruurt, President of Ilrown Unheralty and Delegate to the Itranele Confcrenee. Probably each of tho causes to which tho present depression has been referred (threat of tariff reduction, speculation and silver purchases) has had some effect, but these things, whether singly or together, do not in my judgment so much as hint At the true explanation. The real difficulty is the scarcity of nltimate or exportable money in tho world, owing to tho exclusion of sil ver from this office in Kuropo and North America. Growth, of population and busi ness tmnuhsely increases tho demand for such mony, while tho supply, limited to gold alono, does not much if any increase. The result Is the Intermittent but relent less fall in general prices, which we have been suffering ever since 1873, when the de monetization of silver began. The reason why the trouble is acute just at this moment Is the actiou of thu British government in arranging to put India on a gold basis, which will require about W5, 000,000 of gold, mi Immense uciudeniaiid on the world's already too slender supply. The change iu India has not depressed merely tho gold price of silver, but the gold prices of things in general. People are amazed that wheat and wool, e. g., are the lowest they havo over been, but it is just what we ought to expect and what tho writer did expect. The now Indian policy has lowered the gold price of sliver, but not its Vdluc, Other things have fallen hi relatlou to gold quite us much, to that silver still has as high a general purchasing power as over. Tho essential change appertains to gold, consists in an appreciation of gold. I wish people could bear iu mlud the elementary prlnclplu that "fall In general prices" 13 nothing elsu In tho world but another name for "appreciation of gold." An in crease In tho value of gold is thu bottom reality of what is now causing misery. Credit shrinks. Thu average piece of prop erty means less In dollars day by day. Second mortgages become worthless, and first mortgages lose value. What has been good becurlty ceases to be such, and whoso cannot offer tho very best cannot get ao comniodatlon and falls. Assets realize but little, so that nearly every failure Involves several more. Permanent improvement can come only from an enlargement of thin world's stock of full money by thu addi tion thereto of silver, as before 1873. I would repeal tho Sherman law, because it hinders nick lemonutizatlon of silver, though I believe It not to havo been influ ential, save In a remote and subordinate degiee, lu producing thu present crisis. Its repeal by Itself will bring no real relief, and should It Ihj repealed w Ithoitt. any pro vision whatever for the rehabilitation of liver gold would take another btg leap Continued on Seventh Jyi) YAR'EMISS ED Wahiiinoton, Aug. 15, 18D.'l. Special CouuiKit CorrcsjKindenct'. One of tho familiar figures which will be missed at the cnpitol at this session of congress is that of General Ben Butler. For a quarter of a century before his death ho mado periodical visits to Washington at short Intervals. Ho had a great deal of business before tho supremo court and a great deal of personal business to attend to as well. For many years he was In terested In Belling to tho government the big block of greystonobulldingsopiioslto tho houso wing of tho cupitol on Now Jersey avenue, now occupied by tho marine hospital and the coast survey, Congress higgled over tho price for many years, meantime renting tho build IngB at a fat price for tho use of tho committees of tho house. When Gen eral Butlersold thu buildings to congress there was a mortgage of $00,000 on thorn, and it was said that ho had used this money in his campaign for the presi dency, This is probably a great deal more than any other presidential candi date over spent in the canvass. Butler had many enemies in his own state, and ono of tho bitterest of theso was Judge Ilockwood Hoar, Senator Hoar's brother, who served as attorney general In the cabinet of President Grant. Judge Hoar was walking with a stranger ono day, when Butler'a block was pointed out. Tho stranger expressed some interest in the building. "It's worth a quarter of a million,'' said tho man who had pointed to it. The st ranger looked at it with growing interest. Probably ho did not know that General Butler had the reputation of muking 8100,000 a year in his law business. -Turning to Judge Hoar the stranger said: "And did General Butler uuiko all of that by his practice?" "No," growlod Judgo Hour; "by his practices." This remark was repeated to General Butler not long ufterward by ono who had heard it mado. General Butler was ono of those who would rather be abused than ignored. Ho was inclined to bo philosophical about abuse; ho loved notoriety of any kind. Ho only laughed at Judge Hoar's remark. "It was Ilko him," ho said. "Do you know that when Hoar was on tho Buprcpio bench of MuHHiichusetts ho was themost unhappy man in tho world? It mado him per fectly miserable to havo to decide In favor of either tho plaintiff or tho defendant. Ho would havo liked to render his decisions against both of them." Speaking of Butler's cumpalgn ex penses suggests tho fact that'll great many rich men havo tried Mo buy their way into thu presidential office, but never with success. Alger wus tho last of these, and his immediate predecessor was John Sherman. Now Senator Brlce, of Ohio und Now York, is setting his cap at thu democratic party. A well known republican, who was several times a guest of Senutor Brico last winter, and who saw the lavlshness of tho entertain ment at tho Corcoran house, said with gtent emphasis that there was no doubt of tho object of all this, and ho did not hesitate to express his opinion to Mr. Brico himself. Thu senator only smiled. If Senator Brico's expenditure for enter tainment in Washington could bo counted as one of tho preliminary ex penses of his campaign for thu presi dency, ho will exceed General Butler's limit long before the national convention of the democratic party is held. The impression that John Sherman spent any very largo amount Iu li'm last canvass is a mistake. Popsihly if ho had spent moro Mr. Alger would not havo found it so easy to take tho dele gates away from him. A man who is in Mr. Sherman's confidence told me, not long ago, that the story that Mr. Alger had taken Chauncey I. Filloy and his Missouri followors awuy from Mr. Bheri man by bidding over him was an error. Tho story, which was freely circulated at thu time of tho convention of 1888, wus that Filloy had como to Washington and obtained a sum of money from Mr. Sherman, promising tho votes of a cer tain number of Missouri delegates iu return. Then, accoidiug to this well accepted tale, Mr. Filloy received it larger sum from Mr. Alger, and turned tho votes of thedelegatestothoMichlgaii man. Hut thu fact is that Filloy re ceived mi money from Mr. Sherman. Ho camo to Wnshington to consult Mr. Sherman at tho suggestion of tho nn - tlonal committed from Ohio, who told him that Mr. Sherman was unwilling to put up tho money necessary to influence he purchasable Missourlans. But this WMtlonu without consultation with Mr. Sherman, When Filloy got to Wash ington he found that ho had como on a fooP errand. Mr. Sherman refused to contribute a cent. Filloy felt that ho had been Ill-treated, and (hough ho pro fessed to bo Sherman's friend ho nnd his followers voted for Alger for reasons which they kept to themselves. Mr. Sherman has always felt that Filloy did not treat him fairly, But Sherman held on tu his dollars and Alger got tho votes. Another Massachusetts man who will be very much missed is Senator Dawes. Mr. Dawes camo to Washington iu 1857 us Htniembcr of tho houso, and ho had beepln tho senate eighteen years iu March last, when his term expired, Ho wHa'ionly two years behind Senator Morrill, who holds tho record for con grcMlonul oxiwricnco. To how many hundreds of thousands of visitors to Washington has Mr. Dawes been pointed out from tho galleries of houso or senate! Ho was ono of tho congressional land marks, now fast disappearing. Tho hottest place In Washington is at the copltol. This may sound a llttlo odd in view of tho fact that congress has spent a great many thousand dollars on ventilating apparatus, with a view to make the capltol cool lu warm weather. Bui tho hottest place iu Washington is not frequented by senators or members of tho house. Occasionally a luckless employe is compelled to visit it, but this does' not happen very often. This very hot place is the space between tho cell ing of tho senato chamlier ami the capltol roof. It is hot enough ordinarily beculioe tho hot air from tho senate chamber finds its outlet through tho ceiling. But when tho gas jots are turned on for a night session tho tem perature sometimes runs up to 18(1 degrees. Theru Is a high pressure thor- moiputer in this place, which keeps the reeord of tho top notch of tho tomiorn turq, No ono goes up to inspect this thermometer unless ho has to do bo, while the lights are burning. Thoro uro beffw'een 000 und 1,000 gas jets used in tlio'fuMimiriation of the senato chamber. Tho senate uses tho electric light iu ovcry other part of the building. An experiment was mado with a view to re ducing tho temperature, and electric lights wcro put in abovo tho glass coll ing of tho chamber. They did not seem to givo tho illumination which was given by tho gas jets and bo they were tuken out. NOT A ROMANTIC BRIDE. I'eimtli- Miitrlmoiiliil CiitiilhliitrN nre no Longer Tltiilil. The phrase "a blushing bride" has como to bo a mere figurative expression totally inapplicable to tho serenely self possessed young woman who forms the center of attraction at the modern fash ionable wedding, remarks Kate Field. Her grand mother, iu order to bchnvo becomingly, cultivated tho utmost possible shyness of demeanor, but a couplo of generations havo changed all that, and thu modem bride exhibits a placid composure that would havo been frowned upon unmercifully a hulf cen tury ago. At a recent wedding in Washington the bride showed moro than tho usual luck of trepidation. Tho church was tilled with a brilliant company, ami from tho moment of her entrance she knew herself to bo the cynosure of every eyo, but sho went through tho ceremony as it being married were tin everyday occurrence, to bo regarded with iu difference, if not with positivo disdain. The climax was reached when, lean ing on her husband's arm, sho passed through the doorway leading to the vestibule. Just itisido tho door stood a group of friends joung women who had arrived too late to be accommoda ted with seats beyond the ribbon. Paus ing on the threshold, knowing full well that every eye in tho church was bent upon her, tho bride deliberately leaned toward her friends and whispered loud enough to bo heard by tho bystanders: "I'll chaperon you girls next season." A Cm reel Ion. A few weeks ago u statement was made In Tiik Couiiikk to effect that a man is employed in the governor's otlico at a snlry glOOO per year who cannot lead or write. It was subse quently learned that the sutement was an injustice to tho employe in question, Mr. John Wlngo, and Tiik Coumku is pleased to acknowledge Its error. Dentil iif.Mr. NtirHi.

Ill) north Thirteenth street near the LiinsinO is the popular icsort for stylish garments. PO I TiikCouiiikii last week, In tho most rcHK'0tful manner Imaginable, ventured to express an opinion on the Mculiar course pursued by an esteemed content, porury in seeking to convoy tholmpres sioti that all of tho candidates for office except its own are blackguards. It was remarked that theso same blackguard candidates wero charged by tho afore Bald contemporary with concocting con spltncles, etc., which led TiikCouiiikii to nay that this year's crop of candidates Is not a whit worso than usual, A part of tho language used, was as follows: "In fact there Is, it anything, a slight Improvement, and as far an conspiracies are concerned, ovory candidate for.olllco is a conspirator, Politics is ulno-tenths conspiracy. And our contemporary's candidate, an excellent gentleman, by tho way, Is just as busy conspiring to get Into olllco as any of his adversaries." WliflratiiMin, that estimable democrat who writes tho republican editorials iu tho Kveninu AVtr, and who as a reward for his able services has been apiotntod private secretary to Congressman Bryan, takes a flyer In a somewhat fanciful und not altogether lucid sketch on tho gen eral nobility of politics, with particular refeienco to tho rascality of the can dldates for olllco who, unfortunately, have not been brought out uuder the auspices or tho AIbhw. "It Ib to bo re gretted," sayH tho democratic editorial writer of the BupMscddo-bo-repiibllcau i vu'h, "iiiui some people lmvo no higher conception of isilitics than to enunciate the doctrine that it is nine tenths conspiracy. Webster dellues conspiracy as a combination of men for an ovil purpose; an agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime in concert." Tho evening paper ullows Its enthusiasm to run awuy with its reason. Tub Couimkk enunciated no doctrine; it simply stated a fact. Tho A'cir quotes We-bator -properly, bo faritfl it gocB. It does not state, however, that this eminent authority gives another meaning for tho word conspiracy, namely: "a concurrence; a general tendency of two or moro causes to ono event." And when Tiik Couiiikk, using thu word broadly, said that (stlltlcs is ninu-tcnths conspiracy, and that every candidate Is a conspirator, It advanced no now theory or doctrine. It simply stated what all rational persons know to bo true. And if tho AVuvt is dissatisfied .-- i.l a a with thu condition of isilitics iu Lan caster county and thinks it ought to bu elovutcd, let It essay the task. Tho AYim modestly asserts that "it lias dono sev end remurkuhle. things under its present management." Lot it then continuo iu the good work and make politics us pure iib tho democracy of the man who writes its republican leaders; but, to Imi success ful it must depart from its peculiar coiirw) to which reference has been made. There is most unquestionably a "con currence between tho A'etra und Mr. Hoaglaud, a candidate for the republi can nomination for sheriff, a "general tendency," iib it were, on tho part of the Ncwh and Mr. Hoaglaud toward tho office of sheriff, mid Mr. Hoaglund is rertainly to bo congratulated on having such a zealous champion, notwithstanding the champion's disiosition to cut peculiar cajKirs in tho jMilitleal are mi. The con spiracy between tho newspaper und the candidate is entirely legitimate.or would bo entirely legitimate if it wero simply a disinterested attempt to help forward a good man, as Mr. Hoagland clearly is; but the Nrwn, In its zeal for its preferred candidate, and jsissibly intoxicated by visions of largo bunches of sheriffs no tices for publication, goes farther than this. Itself in a conspiracy it violently attacks tho other candidates and makes all manner of charges against them for tho manifest purpose of advancing the interests of Its own candidate. Iu all candor, does the AVim think it is scud lug Militics on the upgrade by such u IKilicy? Is It purifying olitics in Lan caster by calling other candidates naiiies for doing precisely what it and its chosen candidate are doing, namely, conspiring for preferment "What it lias endeavored In several previous editorials on this matter to elucidate, not very clearly, It may be, Is its unalterable oiqsisltiou ton conspiracy which had for its object tho placing iu office a man with whom it has no per sonal quarrel," siijb tho AVira, "but who Is being pushed forward by a cllquu that has not the Interests of the party, but its own private and personal interests at heart." Friendsof other candidates might reply to this grandiloquent sentiment by oxprcHslng their horror at a conspiracy which linn for its object tho placing In, office si man who Is pushed forward, not In tho Interests of tho party, as might unfeelingly bo alleged, but In tho prl vato and personal Interest of tho pusher tho New, iu advertising and other favors from tho shorlff's office. Tho New' efforts tu clean und ulovntu poll Men are, to say tho least, decidedly plctur-csquo, Tho AVirn thou branches off Into a homily on tho Iraimtyof unlnstructod delegations. It nays that that practice of naming an candidates tho men who aro the purty'Hreal choice wanrocognlaod as a good and trim ono In tho caucus of tho republicans of tho Fifth ward last spring lu tho action refusing to send a delegation to thu city convention in st nutted for anyone for olllco. ''Tim avowed object of this procedure," say tho AVic, "was to allow tho dolvgatca to express their untrummolod choice for mayor, us woll as tho other offices to bo lllled." This may havo been tho avowed purioso of tho memorable action of tho Fifth ward caucus; but tho real reason was a "conspiracy" on tho part of an other candidate for city treasurer from another ward, and his friends, to turn down Mart Altkon. If there was any high resolve to purify and beautify isilltlcs in that Fifth ward caucus, par ticularly lu thu scheme to prevont pledging iho delegation to Altkon, it wasn't discovered at tho timo. Concerning Congressman Bryan and his recent speech In Des Moines, tho Sutiirdau Ih'i'ietr, of that city saya: "Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, drew an enor mous crowd to the court houso on Mon day evening last. His speech upon tho tariff, iu thin city two years ago, had , established his reputation among our poo plo as an orator above tho ordinary, and this, with tho fact that he has a panacea for the present financial ailment, drew forth a crowd to see and hear him on Monday night. Only a limited portion of his audience wub entirely in sympathy with his vIowb concerning tho monoy question. Mr. Bryun sided with Bland in tho last congress, but was not consid ered n nllvor lender. It wnB'hln 'nrt term In congress, and, like many others, It.was thought ho favored free coinage be cause of a supposed strong sentiment among his constituents favorable to that legislation. A great many things uro overlooked during a legislator novitiate, and errors of judgement owing to lack of experience uro forgotten, but with tho now congress Mr. Bryan will havo no, claim to charitable consideration, and his record cannot escape critical review. Mr. Bryan's brilliancy would seem to in sure him a great future, but tho silver cloud may casta shadow over his promis ing career. Tho youthful Nebrnskarvls approaching a crisis, just such a one ub. had carried many a budding statesman into obscurity." There is certuinly a vast amount 'of room for improvement iu politics, und especially in Lancaster county wlitlcsf and tho AVics is capable of accomplish ing much good in this direction, but it must keep in tho middle of tho roud if it really expects to measure up to its, lofty expressions. C. H. Alexander, or tho Third ward, Is a candidate for the republican nomina tion for constable. Mr. Alexander is ono of the most enthusiastic and hard work ing republicans iu the city. Ho Ib qualified for a much better phico than that of constable, ami thoso republicans whom he has assisted in the past will no doubt do all Iu their power to aid his candidacy. It is said that Gran Ensign is a candi date for sheriff. It Is also said that ho is not a candidate. Tiik Colmiikh violates no conlldeuco in stating that Mr. Knsign would not decline a nomination. Of course joii can't tell so tur ahead; but jiiht now to looks like Trompen or Hoaglaud for sheriff, and Griffith or Harnip for register. Thu prohibitionists nominated u county ticket this week, not for election, but merely as an evidence of good faith. Incidentally it may bo said that Univer sity Place was strictly in it. There will bo a meeting of tho repub lican state central committee at tho Lin coln hotel Wednesday, August li'l at 8 o'clock p. in. for thu purposu of culling u state convention. o The democratic state central commit te.) at a meeting held in Omaha on Thutsday, decided to hold tho stuto convention in Lincoln, October 1.
