DEMOCRACY'S DAY The Convention at Union Tuesday Was a Big Success. RAMSEY FOR DISTRICT JUDGE. lie Is ltecoinmenried for That Nomina tion and Will be Allowed to Select Hi Delegates to the Judi cial Convention. The democratic convention for the selection of twenty-one delegates to represent Cass county in the state con vention, to be held on the 2d inst, met at Union Tuesday, having a much larger representation than was expected. It was, too, a representa tive body, having names of the younger element within its ranks, showing that the young men are assertiug themselves, and taking the places of their elders in advocating principles of government on the lines laid down by Jefferson and Jackson. Of course, older heads were there, also, show ing that they had lost none of their ardor or enthusiasm for the canse of democracy. The discussions that took place on the convention floor were all carried on in excellent temper, and the best of humor prevailed, showing the party to be harmonious and united in a common purpose. The election of Frank Morgan for chairman was a graceful recognition of the merits of an enthusiastic young democrat who is always ready to assert his principles. The fact that Judge Ramsey was ac corded the privilege of selecting the delegates to the judicial convention was a compliment rarely paid by a democratic convention, and will no doubt have its effect in tending to se cure for him the nomination for dis trict judge. The convention was unanimous for free coinage and would not consent to the adoption of the unit rule unless it also meant in favor of a 10 to 1 plank. The convention was called to order by Judge M.Archer of Plattsmouth, chairman of the county central com mittee, who stated the object of the j meeting. The selection of a temporary chair-j man was next in order, and Frank J. Morgan was the unanimous choice of the delegates. Mr. Morgan accepted the honor in a neat speech. W. JJ. "Wise was then selected as secretary, and after reading the call, a committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Thorn. Walling and Phil Thierolf of Platts mouth, O. II. Allen of Wabash. Henry Baker of Fight Mile Grove and John Tromble of Avoca, was appointed to examine the credentials of the dele gates. The report showed all the pre cincts represented except Weeping Water, Greenwood and Salt Creek. 2so contests beingmade the credentials were accepted and the committee dis charged. Upon motion the temporary organization was then made perma nent. A motion was thenmade and carried that each delegation be . accorded the privilege of selecting its. own rep resentative to the state convention at Omaha on Aug. 22. The following delegates were then selected: Plattsmouth, first ward T. Walling. Plattsmouth, second ward J. M. Patterson. Plattsmouth, third Trard F. J. Morgan. Plattsmouth, fourth ward Phil. Thierolf. Plattsmouth, fifth ward Judge Ramsey. Tipton Mark White. Elm wood O. II. Allen. South Bend C. J. Zaar. Weeping Water city F. Gorder. Weeping Water precinct John Newham. Center John Ferguson. Louisville T. Ilelm. Eight Mile Grove W. U. Heil. Avoca G. W. Harshman. Nehawka C. W. Banning. Mt. Pleasant Z. W. Shrader. Liberty J. C. Frank. Rock Bluffs, first district- Lee Oldham. Rock Bluffs, second district D. J. Pittinan. Plattsmouth precinct D. S. Draper and Wm. Gllllsple. It was then moved that the delegates to the state convention from Cass county vote as a unit, and cast the full vote of the county. This motion fur nished a topic for considerable discus sion, and some brief but lively speeches were made by D. S. Draper, Dr. Wal lace, Judge Ramsey, Judge Archer, C. W. Sherman and others. The motion was carried and the following resolu tion was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the democracy of Cass county stands committed irrevoca bly to the belief in and we demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold into primary or redemption money, at the ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the action or approval of any other nation. Judge Archer, having handed in his resignation as chairman of the county central committee, then arose and in a short and well-worded address pre sented the name of Harvey p. Travis for that position. Mr. Travis was the unanimous choice of the convention, and was accordingly declared elected. The following resolution was intro duced and unanimously adopted: Resolved, By the democrats in del egate convention assembled, that, hav ing implicit confidence in the integ rity and judicial ability of County Judge Ramsey, we hereby cordially and most earnestly recommend him for nomination by the forth-coming democratic judicial convention for dis trict judge for the counties of Cass and Otoe; and be it further Resolved, That he be empowered and authorized to select the delegation from Cais county to attend the conven tion. The date for holding the county nominating convention at Platts mouth was then changed to read Sept. 25. All business being properly trans acted, the convention adjourned. PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT. It took a vast capacity for gall for Col. Polk to attend and direct the course of the populist county conven tion, as. he did last year at Wabash, but that was nothing compared to the gall required for him to sit and vote in a democratic convention but t be man who was afraid to vote on the prohi bition question in the legislature was equal to do the latter act at Tuesday's democratic convention. After abus ing and villifying democrats as he has, he ought to be ashamed to be seen in their presence, to say nothing of aflili ating witli them. Col. Draper, the great Mvnard pie eater isn't as much of a cuckoo as some men we know of. He denounced the president and his two secretaries Carlisle and Morton as traitors to democratic principles in the conven tion Tuesday, and after the convention was over words seemed too feeble to express his indignation at their course in letting the Rothschilds dictate the policy of our government. Jacob Luft, the democratic fanner from Cullom, was in the city Tuesday attending to business and talking a few acres of politics. Jake lias dis covered one thing on which he cannot be fooled, at least Jim (trace says he has. The weekly crop report shows a marked improvement in the condition of corn in all but the. extreme western and northern counties of the state. Through the central and eastern coun ties the corn is putting out ears in Gelds that were supposed to bo dead, and is showing so much vigor that the yield will be considerably larger than has heretofore been estimated. Lin coln Journal. The republican judicial committee met at Nebraska City Tuesday and it was decided to hold the convention there on October 1st, at two o'clock p. m. The News of that city figures it out that Judge Chapman will receive the nomination, as Cass county will be represented by twenty-six delegates, while Otoe trails behind with twentv. The Palmyra Items says: Whining and repining are as catching as the itch and every whit as disgusting. Starvation is not confronting you. Look the devil squarelv in the face. The crops in all places are not what we anticipated, but in many places the small grain yield has been excellent, and some are confident of getting 30 to 100 bushels of corn per acre. I would of course like to have seen things nourishing like a green bay tree, but if my neighbors have an abundance they will not let me want, so I'll rejoice with the scores that have cause to rejoice. Dorft whine. It is as deadly as the upas tree and as in jurious as a southwest simoon. A Red Willow county farmer has a 200-acre field of alfalfa.

TnE democratic and republican can didates for governor of Kentcky Har din and Rradley have begun a joint canvass of the state, making their first speeches at Louisville on Monday. Mr. Hardin came out squarely for free coinage of goid and silver, and Bradley announced himself for the gold stan dard. It is a square fight from this out. There was no mistaking the tem per of the democratic county conven tion on the money question, and the man who thinks there is any lessening of the sentiment in behalf of siiver would butt his head against a brick wall with a dull, sickening thud. "TnE free coinage of silver in this country wilt do more to unite the west, south and north than lias been done since the declaration of independence." Ex.
