Egan, Thurs'.on, Heist and Norval Are the Brilliant Men Selected to Represent Nebraska. A Mooting of Harmony and Great Enthusiasm. There were 071 delegates in the conven tion at Omaha last night from all parts of the statu aud a most enthusiastic meeting wa9 had, and after some discussion and the different delegates were put in nomi nation the vote was t.iken which was as follows: Adams county led off by casting 4 votrn fr Thurston, 7 for Ktn, 14 for Heist, 3 for Hoggs, 14 for Norval and 14 for Palmer. Antelope and Arthur fell in by casting their entire vote for Thurston, Llgan, Heist and Norval. Blaino county gave the first three named and Boggs it entire count. Cheyenne followed suit except that Noryal got the last 11 votes iustead of Boggs. Douglas county cast 38 votes for Thurston. ? for Egan, 22 for Heist, $ for Bogg9, bt for Norval, a for Palmer and 17 for Martman. Gage gave Thurston 18, Boggs 1, and Egan, Norval and Palmer 19 each. Hall cast II forThuifcton, 11 for Egan, 11 for Heist, and 1 1 for Palmer. Lancaster gave Thurston 20, Egan 2.1, Heist 1, Boggs G, Norval 22, Palmer 5, and Hartman 2. At the conclusion of the vote the secre tary of the convention asked for a little time to compile the figures, and while waiting Colonel W. P. Hepburn, of Iowa, made a speech in which he reviewed with alarm the course the democratic party was taking in regard to protection, rail road monopolies and trusts, and pointed with pridd to the brilliant record the re publican party had succc-eded in piling up a grand aud glorious record. Tha republican party hail increased the wealth of the nation from $14,000,000,000, in 18G0 to $48,000,000,000 in 1830. He severely criticised all reformers and said he did not believe in reforms any way. The secretary then announced the vote as follows: Egan ij94 Norval , . , . 5Q8 Thurston '. 449 Heist 399 Palmer 291 Boggs I 270 Hartmui 150 Amid tremendous cheering Mr. Thurs ton came on the platform and thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him in electing him for the second time a delegate to the national conven tion. His heart beat in sympathy with the republicans of the state and nation, and his only hope was that the national convention would be deliberate in it ac tion and would nominate James G. Blaine great applause, vrho was honestiy clect ed'in 1S34. With a promise to honestly represent th-3 party in the convention, Mr. Thurston closed, and was followed by Mr. Egan, who promised to vote for a man whom the party would not be ashamed of. Judge Norval made a short speech, in whic h he pledged his hearty support to the ticket. The chair asked thnt the convention excuse the non-appearance of Judge Heist, who was unabie to attend, and then announced the report of the com mittee oa resolutiens. Mr. Irwin of Douglas then read A PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES AND PLEDGES ADOPTED OK WHICH WE STAND, We, the representatives of the republi can party oi the state of Nebraska, in convention assemblycd, do hereby con demn aud a'raign the democratic party and its administration of public affairs for its failure to keep the promises it III ide in its platform and by its leaders of the campaign of 18S4; for denying to the people of Dakota the right of state hood: for its failure to reduce the sur plus by reduction of taxes and proper and necessary expenditures of public im provements; for the effort it is now mak ing to tear clown the American system of protection, fostered and built up by the republican party around the farm anel factories of America, As the luiiiness of the country now de mands revision the republican party, alive to the demands of every material int ret, will see to it that such revision shall be made at the earliest practical day. We condemn the action of the democratic majority ju congress, that after repeated pledges of tanir. rerorn), it h is utterly Tailed, while iaiug lrge majority in the house of representatives where tariff bills must originate to bring about such reform which must come from the patty that has ever been fhe freptl qf the American laborc-F and producer. We denounce the Mills bill as an at tempt to force free trade upon the farms and manufactories snd worklngmen. of the north while giving protection to the sii 2a r and cotton planter of the south. Under democratic administration great corporations have formed trusts, and no attempt has been mide ly the democrney in power to check their growth. We condemn President Cleveland in the use he has made of the veto power and in ordering the return of the rebel flags, thereby disgracing an office that ha been honored by Washington and sanctified by the blood of Lincoln. We pledge ourselves to place in con trol of the nation men who will carry out the great mission of the republican party a free ballot ami a fair count. Protection to each citizen everywhere, at home and abroad. Protection to manufacturers and far mers, that this nation may keep her pro per place as the grandest nation amidst the nations and the ages. The enactment of such laws ns will destroy trusts and prevent corporations from controlling the commerce of this nation. The enforcement of the civil service laws. The enactment of such laws as will compel corporations to listen to the voice of labor and submit to arbitration any cliff rence of opinion, to the end that labor, while ever careful of propoity rights, aud holding no sympathy with those who would with the communist divide, or with the anarchist destroy, re asserts its determination that the great railway corporations of this state which hold relation of closest interests to t lie people shall be the fairly paid servants of the state and not its masters. The work of legislative contrgl in the state and nation shall contirti until all cause for complaint of exorbitant rates and un just discrimination in favor of individ uals or localities shall cease to exit, Assuming the responsibility which fairly belongs to it uf having originated all legislation lookiug to railroad control and the creation of those tribunals aud commissions which have been enabled to grapple with eorporate power, the repub lican party will see to it that by all need ed enlargements of power these commis sions, national and state, shall be armed for battle and victory. While favoring such change in the constitution of this state as will permit the railroad commis sioners to be elected by the people, it hereby voices its confidence in the exist ing board of transportation, and com mends its efforts ta obtain for Nebraska the same tariff of rates for freight and carriage of passengers as is accorded neighboring states similarly circum stanced. It is grossly unjust and a griev ous wrong that Nebraska should pay more for the transportation of her pro ducts and the carriage of her supplies then her neighbors, Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota, and the republicans of this state, with its 300Q miles of easily constructed 0.nd cheaply maintained lines of railroad, will not cease their efforts until all wrongs be righted. We renew our pledge made in the platform of the last state republican con vention in the following words: Sympathy for the wronged and op pressed ef every land is avowed, and at this crisis in the affairs of the people of Ireland, hearty encouragement is ex pressed to them in their struggle for lib erty and self government. Liberal ptnsions to disabled and needy veterans of the uniou army are recom mended to congress; but jobbery .and favoritism, such as were exposed by President Cleveland's veto measures are emphatically condemned. For the best interests of all the people of the United States, and their more har monious comentiug into a fraternal nation sectional issues and the keeping alive of the hatreds of the late civil war arc rep rehended and denounced. A motion was then made by a delegate from Cass that Messrs. Palmer, Boggs, Hartman and Likes, the latter of Hayes county, be elected alternantes by accla mation, which was carried.. Delegate Gurlev, of Douglas, arose in his seat and kicked against the proceed ing and was supported by Judge Hascall, but both were promptly "squelched" by the chair. After an announcement by the secre tary to the effect that all desirous of at tending the Chicago convention should meet at the Millard at 10;30 this morn ing to make arrangements, the conven tion adjourned sine die. A better set of delegates could not be had anywhere and they g uninstructcd but favor the Plumed Knights. Clerks from St Louis Palestine, Tex., May 15. Thirty clerks of the International and Great Northern headquarters force arriyed here frqm St. Loviis last night anil are row engaged at their posta in the general of fice buildiag. Some apprehension has been felt on the part of citizens that the change of the road headquarters from Ht, Louis to Palestine was only a tem porary move by Mr. Gould to effect some design of his own in connection with the settlement of the present differences between himelf and other systems, but the belief is now pretty well settled that the chance to be permanent- The change Will tidd greatly tci .he financial status of Palestine, bringing, it is expected, a large increase in the shop force as well as in that of the general office - The Tangier Trouble Settled. Washington, P. C, May 16.-r-Actiug Secretary Rives received ft cablegram from Uuited States Consul Lewis, at Tangier, this morning, saying that all questions of disagreement between Mo rocco and the United States had lecn settled and that he had gained all the points contended for. d:dn't mind the bite. An Old t Lap in ArUaiotu Who Wuin't Afraid of Hydrophobic. A Georgia man, uiiilo standing in front of a blacksmith's shop, was bitten by a ilo. "Gracious alivel" exclaimed the blueksinitli, "run home and pray for the salvation of your 01U, for your body is lost," "How suf the old fellow aked as Le rubbed the place where the dog had bitten hiilL "Why, that dog i3 mad Look how he foauis nt the inoutli. That's the Uoy the neighbors have Leen looking fori" A puir of smoke came from the Lushes near by, the "bang'' of a gnu waa heard and the dog fell dead in the rouil. "Neighbors beeu lookin' fur him, eh!" s:id the old fellow who bad been bitten. "Wall, I ain't been lookin' fur him, but it 'pears sorter liko he's been lookin' fur me." "Ktm to a doctor, man." "Is'o, 1 kuin't airord it.

A Russian jiny oHicer wlu was con demned to "kartoga" for an assault com mitted in a moment of excitoment, and w ho was pardoned by the czar after several years' detention, describes the Onega prison, where he was confined, as follows: "For smoking and minor offenses of that sort, a prisoner could be made to kneel Tor two hours on the bare, frozen frig. The next punishment for tfa same minor offense was the black hole the 'karzer' the warm one and the cold one, underground, w ith a temperature ut. freezing joint. In both prisoners slept on the stones, and the term of durance depended on the wilt of the director. Several were kept there for a fortnight, after which they were literally dragged out into daylight and then dismissed to the laud where pain and suffering are not. During the four years of my confinement the aver age mortality in the prison was 30 per cent, per annum. It must not be thought, that those on whom penalties of this kind were in flicted were hardened desperadoes. Wo in curred them if we saved a morsel of bread from dinner for the supper, or if a match was found on a prisoner. Tho 'desperate characters' were treated after another fiish ion. One, far instance, was kept for nine mouths in solitary confinement in one of the dark cells, and came out blind and insane. "In the evening the director went his rounds, and usuaily began hie favorite occu pationflogging. A very narrow bench was brought out, and soon the place resounded with shrieks, while the director looked on and counted the lashes, smoking a cigar. Ths birch rods were of exceptional size, and when not in use they were kept immersed ii water so as to make them more pliant. Aft. the tenth lash tho shrieking ceased, and nothing was heard but groans. Flogging was usually applied in batches, to five, ten men, or more, and when the torture was over a great pool of blood would remain to mark the spot. After every such scene we had two or three: days of comparative peace the flogging had a soothing influence 011 the director's nerves. Soon, however, he would become himself again. When he was drunk and his leSt mustacho w-as drooping and limp, or when lie went out shooting and came home with an empty bag, we knew that the same evening tho rod would he set nt work." Michael llalkoff in Chicago News. Why CiiiU Eat Candy. "American girls eat more candy than the girls of any other nation," anid an observing traveler recently to a reporter. "They com mence on New Year's day and then continue until New Year's eve. Always candy; some times because it is a birthday, sometimes be cause they meet a friend, sometimes because it was sent to them. They have as many ex cuses for eating candy as a man has for drinking whisky." "Don't foreign girls eat candy" "Jh, yes; and they are U-aming very fast to foXow the example of the fair sex on this Eide of the w-ater. In this country the Yan kee girls w ere the first to start the fashion, or habit, as it should be more properly called, and from the east it has spread all over the Country. Now I think tbs western girls can bold their own against all comers. In En rope Germans, Italians and Spaniards are great eaters of pralines, chocolates a la creme, sugared almonds and crystallized fruits. French women eat fondants, and there a man, when he escorts a lady to the theatre, must cars with him a packet of doueeui-s. In EngUind candy eating started with sucking caramels or nibbling cremes. &qw the wcH to do Briton eats sweets with (lis wine after dinner. They are fond p fondants, nougat, candied mandarins or tangerines and other kinds. Butter Scotch, barley sugar and chocolate are the ordinary, pvery day candies. Soldiers suck almond rock while doing sentry duty, the pchoemaii pn his beat usually has a bud's eye or brandy ball in his mouth, and the British tar chews an American caramel instead of the quid of pigtail that used to distend his swarthy cheek in the good old days of England's "wooden walls.'
