Surprise Gathering on Eve of
Starting for the Democratic
National Convention.
From Wednesday's Dally.
Some few days ago a number of
W. I). Wheeler's friends in Mur
ray decided to pull olT a little sur
prise gathering at his beautiful
farm home south of Plaflsnioulh
in honor of his being elected arid
on the eve of his departure to at
tend the democratic convention at
Haltiinore. The date set Tor the
occasion was last evening, and
the friends of Mr. Wheeler, the
invited number being limited
were present from far and near
all of whom gathered in auto
mobiles at Murray and proceeded
to the Wheeler home. There were
something like twenty-five autos
in the procession, and as they
pulled up to the Wheeler home
the horns tooling on all sides,
there was a feeling of good fel
lowship passed over every man in
the big crowd and he was sure
glad thai he was there. As Mr.
Wheeler came from the house o
greet the crowd one could even
from a distance that Ihe oc
casion was going lo he a genuine
success from a surprise stand
point. Mr. Wheeler had not the
slightest idea of any such a
gathering, and he was still attired
in his Held day clothing.
For the first thirty minutes af
ter the arrival was spent m con
gratulating and greeting Mr.
Wheeler, also the meeting and
handshaking of the many friends
from the entire eastern half of
Cass county, who do not meet
every day. (Seorge Tartsch of
Plattsmouth and L. I). Hiatl-, the
merchant prince of Murray, were
present, and a number of selec
tions on the guitar and mandolin,
with a few vocal numbers was the
first thing on the program. These
numbers were sure well received

county. Also a feeling of con
fldence that be would cast his vote
in the democratic national con
vention at Baltimore next week
for the man that be thought was
for the best interests of the pen
pie.
W. B. Banning, democratic can
didate for state senator, from
Union, was also present and call
ed upon by the crowd for a few
remarks, which were delivered in
his usual very pleasing manner
Following Mr. Banning Mr.
Wheeler took the position before
his visitors to express bis ap
preciation of their attendance;
also to assure them that he would
represent them in the great na
tional convention lo the best of
his ability and would certainly
cast his vote for the man of their
choice, who was Hon. Champ
Clark of Missouri. He also staled
that be would like to cast his vol1
for Hon. W. J. Bryan of Ne
hraska should he become a can
didate and his delegation so de
sire.
An effort was made to secure
Ihe names of those in attendance,
by requesting them to give their
names to the recorder nt the lunch
table as they came up for lunch,
but this announcement was made
too late and many names were
missed, but below we publish
those secured by the recorder,
which m believe to be fully 25
per cent short:
