Egan, Thurston, Heist and Norval Are the Brilliant Men Selected to Represent Nebraska. A Meeting of Harmony and Great Enthusiasm. TIktc vereG71 delegates in the conven tion at Omalia Inst night from all parts of tlio state and a mont enthusiastic inectiDg ws 1iu1, and after some discussion and the different delegates were put in nomi nation the vote wu taken which was as follows: Adams county led off ly casting 4 votes for Thurston, 7 for Egan, 14 for Heist, 3 for Hoggs, 14 for Norval and 14 for Palmer. Antelope and Arthur fell in ly casting their entire vote for Thurston, J-gan, Heist and Xorval. lilaino county give the first three- named and Boggs its entire count. Cheyenne followed suit except that Norval tfot the last 11 rotes instead of Hoggs. Douglas county cast 3 yotes for Thurston, for Egan, 22 for Heist, for Hoggs, 31 for Norval, y for Palmer and 17 for Uartman. Gage gave Thurston 18, Hoggs 1, and Egan, Norval and Palmer 19 each. Hall cast 11 for Thurston, 11 for Egan, 11 for Heist, and 11 for Palmer. Lancaster gave Thurston 20, Egau 25, Heist 10, Hoggs 6, Norval 22, Palmer 5, and Hart man 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, m ule 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 pride to the brilliant record the re publican party had succ-.eded in piling up :i grand and glorieus record. TIvo republican party had increased the wealth of the nation from $14,000,000,000, in lKtfO to $13,000,000,000 in 1880. He severely criticised all reformers and said he did not believe in reforms any: wtv. The secretary then announced the vc te is follows: Egan Norval Thurston Heist f . Palmer ; Hoggs H-ii imiu 394 508 440 89? 291 270 150 Amid tremendous cheering fr. 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, in.l his enly hope was that the national convention would be deliberate in its ac tion and would nominate James G. Blaine great applause, who was honestiy elect ed in ISSf. "With a promise to honestly represent the party in the convention, .Mr. Thurston closed, and was followed by .Mr. Egan, who protrised to vote for a man whom the party would not bo ashamed of. Judge Norval made a short speech, in which he pledged his hearty support to the ticket. The chair asked that the convention excuse the non-appearance of Judge Heist, who was unable to attend, and then announced tho report of the com- mittee on resolutions. Mr. Irwin of Douglas then read A PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES AND PLEDGES ADOPTED OX WHICH WE STAND. We, the veprcjentatives of the republi can party ol the state cf Nebraska, in convention assetnblyed, do hereby con demn and araign the democratic party and its administration of public affairs for its failure to keep the promises it made in its platform and by its leaders of the campaign of 1884; for denying to the people of I) ikota the rights 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 dou r. iLe American system of protection, fostered and'buiii up bjr Jhe republican party around the farm and factories of Amziic.i. As the buiiness of the country now de mands r.:vi?on the republican party, alive to the neiaiida of every material int rest, will see to it thai i;ch revision shall be made at thj earliest practic&i day. We condemn the action of the democratic majority in congress, that after related pledges of tariff reform, it has utterly faded, V.l"e having a large majority in the house of repietet&ijea where tariff bills must originate to bring about such reform which must come from the party iLut Jjas cycr been the frienU of the American laboret &iZ producer. We denounce the Mills bill as a at tempt to force free trade upon the farms and manufactories and workingmen of the hoUh lyhile giving protection to the suzar and cotton pitsjer of the south. Cnder democratic administratis crsat corporations have formed trusts, and no attenj Las been made by the democracy in power to ctie their growth. We condsnm President Cleveland iu the- ess be lias made of the veto power and in ordering the return of the rebel flags, thereby disgracing an uflice that hat been honored by Washington . and sanctified by the blood of Linceln. 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 and a fair count. Protection to each citizen everywhere, at borne 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 as will destroy trusts and prevent corporations from controllins the commerce of this nation. 1 he enforcement of the civil service laws. The enactment of such laws as will compel corporations to listen to the voice of lab'tf and submit to arbitration any difference of opinion, to the end that labor, while ever careful of property rights, and holding no sympathy with those who would with the communist divide, or with the anarchist destroy, re assert its determination that the great railway corporations of this state which hold relations of closest interests to the people shall be the fairly paid servants of the state and not its masters. The work of legislative control in the state and nation shall continue until all cause for complaint of exorbitant rates and un just discrimination in favor of individ uals or localities shall cease to exist. Assuming the responsibility which fairly belongs to it of having originated all legislation looking to railroad control and the creation of those tribunals aud commissions which have been enabled to grapple with corporate power, the repub lican party will see to it that by all need ed enlargements of power thcte commis sions, national and state, shall be armed for battle and victory. While favorinsr 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 at transportation, ana com mends its efforts to obtain for Nebraska the same tariff of rates for freight and carriage of passengers as is accorded neighboring slates similarly circum stanced. It is grossly unjust and a griev ous wrong that Nebraska should pay more ?or me transportation oi ner pro ducts and the carriage cf her supplies than her neighbors, Iowa, Minnesota and Dakola, and the republicans of this state with its 3,000 miles of easily constructed and cheaply maintained lines of railroad will not c-ase their efforts until all wrongs be righted. We rtucw our pledge made in the platform of the last state republican con vention in the following words: ympatny tor the wronged and o: pressed of 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 pensions to disabled and needy veterans of the union army are recom mended to congress; but jobberv and favoritism, such as were exposed bv President Cleveland's veto measures are mphatically condemned. For the best interests of all the people of the United States, and their more har monious comenting into a fraternal nation sectional issues aud the keeping alive of the hatreds of the late civil war are rep rehended and denounced. A motion was then made by a delegate from Cass that Messrs. Palmer, Boggs, I but man and Likes, the latter of Hayes County, be elected alternantcs by accla- tnation, which was carried. Deleeate Gurlev. of Douelas. arose in his seat and kicked against the proceed ing and was supported by Judee Hascall, but both were promptly "squelched" by the chair. After an announcement by the secre- tary te the effect that all desirous of at tending the Chicasro convention should meet at the Millard at 10:30 this morn- incr to make arran cements, the conven tion adjourned sine die. A better set of delegates could not be had anvwhere aad they go uniustructed but favor the Plumed Knights. Clerks from St- Louis P4LESTISE, Tex., May 15. Thirty clerks of the International and Great Northern headquarters force arriyed here from St. Louis last nizut and are now engaged at their posts in the general of fice building. Some apprehension has been felt on the part of citizens that the chunr-e cf the road headquarters from ".it r i - - . St. Louis to Palestine was only a tem porary move by Mr. Gould to effect some design of his own in connection with o the settlement of the present differences 3 etroeen bimielf and other systems, but the belief is uow pretty sU scr!e4 fhat the change to be permanent. The change will add greatly to the financial status of Palestine, bringing, it is expected, a iaifit. increase ? the shop force as well as in that of the general oitices. The Tangier Trouble Settled. 7i8t'Ti OTON. D. C, May 1C. Acting Secretary hives received a C3l1!gF,1i1 from United States Consul Lewis, at Tangier, this morning, saying that all questions of disagreement between 3Io rocco and the Uifd 5ite; hd Iees settled and that he h id gained all the points contended for.

A Russian army officer wb. was con demned to "kartoga" for an assault .com mitted in a moment of excitement, and who was pardoned by the czar after several years' detention, describes the Onega prison, where he was confined, ns follows; "For smoking and minor offenses of that sort, a prisoner could bo mado to kneel for two hours on the bare, frozen Hags. Tha next punishment for the same minor offense was the black hole tho 'karzer' the warm one and tho cold one, underground, w ith a temperature at freezins ,oint. In both prisoners slept on the stones, and tho term of durance depended on tho wiliof the director Several were kept there for a fortnightafter which they were literally dragged out into daylight and then dismissed to the land where ain and suffering are not. During the four years of my confinement the avei" age mortality in the prison was i!0 per cent. er annum, it must not be thought that those an whom penalties of this kind were in flicted were hardened de.s)eiadoe.s. We in curred them if we saved a morsel of bread from dinner for the supper, or if a match was found on a prisoner. The 'desuerr.to characters' were treated after another fash ion. Que, for instauce, was kept for nine months in solitary ooulmement in one of the dark cells, and came out blind and iiisnnn In the evening the director went his rounds, and usually began hk favorite occu pation (logging. A very narrow bench was brought out, and soon tho place resounded with shrieks, while tho director looked on and counted the lashes, smokin? a cirrn,. The birch rods were of exceptional size, and when not in use they were kept immersed ii water so as to make them more pliant. Aflev the tenth lash the shrieking ceased, nothing was Lc-ai.l but eroans. Flo and jmg as usuany j;ppnea m oatcttes, to live, ten men, or more, and when tho 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 on tho director's nerve.s. Soon, however, he would become himself again. When he was drunk aud his leit mustache was drooping and limp, or when he went out shooting and came homo with an empty bag, we knew that tho same evening the rod would be set at work." Michael Malkoff in Chicago News. Why Girls Kat Candy. "American girls eat more candy than the girls of any other nation," said 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 frimd, sometime beeaus-j it was sent to them. They have as many ex cuses for eating can-by a3 a man has fV drinking whisky." "Pon't foreign girls eat candy?" "Oh, yes; and they are learning verv fast to foSow the example of the fair sex on this side of the water. In thi3 country the Yan kee girls were tho 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 the western girls can hold their own against all comers. In Eu rope GorniaDj, Italians acu Spaniards are great eaters cf 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 cart with him a packet of douceurs. In England candy eatiug started with Euckin caramels or ribblinj premes. Now tha weH to do Briton eats sweets with his wine after dinner. They are fond of fondants, nougat, candied mandarins or taugertnes and other kinds. Butter Scotch. barley sugar and chocolate are the ordinary. every d3y candies, boldiers suck ntmond l-oek'whiie doing sentry iity, the policeman on his beat usually lias a bull's eye or brandy ' ball in his mouth, and the British tar chews an American caramel instead of the quid of pigtail that lined to distend his swarthy theei? in tho good old itays or Enelajida 'wooden walls.'
