UE.UOCKATIC STATE CONVENTION.
A delegate convention of the demo
crats of the state of Nebraska is here
by called to meet in Lincoln on Wed
nesday, April 22, 18D6, at 2 p. m., for
the pui pose of selecting sixteen dele
gates to the national demociatic con
vention, which will meet in Chicago on
the 7th day of July, 1896, and for the
transaction of such other business as
may properly come before it.
We invite all democratic citizens of
the state, without respect to past po
litical associations or differences, to
unite in sending delegates to this con
vention. The basis of representation is one
delegate for each 100 votes, or mjor
fraction thereof, cast for Hon. W. J.
Bryan for United States senator at the
general election of 1894, each county,
however, have at least one delegate.
(Here follows the list of the counties
with their number of delegates. On
this basis Cas county is entitled to
twenty-one delegates, and the whole
number of delegates to the convention
is 813).
B? order of the democratic state
central committee.
C.J Smytti, Chairman.
Lee IIerdmx. Secretary.
Those republicans who are shouting
for McKinley forget that the bill which
bears bis name had no reciprocity
clause in it, and but for Mr. Blaine's
tragic declaration that in that form
the bill would utterly destroy the re
publican party, the reciprocity clause
would have been left out. That was
the saving clause of that bill, for the
manufacturers and not McKinley, had
dictated the rates, as stated by Senator
Hoar, so there is no honor due Mc
Kinley at all, except that it bears his
name.
The Nebraska City Press professes

j side issue. In the times of long ago
when the slavery question came into
prominence, there were hosts of peo
ple in the old whig and democratic
parties who did the same thing they
wanted to make their allegiance to
the anti-slavery cause subsidiary to
their party allegiance, but it wouldn't
do, and the whig party finally went
to the wall, and the republican party
grew up to tight slavery. The silver
question is as much the issue today as
the slavery question was then, and the
freedom of the masses is as much at
stake in its success or failure, and it
is no time for a man to subordinate
that issue to his party's allegiance.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
Henry Hemple is conGned to his bed
with a severe attack ot la grippe.
Miss Minnie Iloyer of Elm wood was
in the city today, enroute for a visit
to friends in Iowa.
Henry F. Schleter, aged 47, and

Will Hayes, a son of Commissioner
llaes, is building a nice, new house
out at Elmwood, and a visit to the
county judge's cffice by that young

II. C. McMaken & Son yesterday

Wants A Divorce.
Ada Bunker vs. David Bunker is the
title of a proceeding for a divorce filed
in the district clerk's office Monday.
The plaintiff alleges that she was mar
ried to David on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, 1891, in Platismouth. and that
on the fourteenth day of July, same
$ ear, her husband deserted her and
has since failed to render an support
whatever to herself or child. Ada
wants a divorce, the custody of Abra

Dress Goods Department.
300 Fine Dress Patterns, no two alike, selected
by a visa to the drebs goods departments of six of the
largest wholesalers, ana taking a pattern each and
one pattern only of their choicest and best novelties,
llns will insure ihe ladies making a purchase of a
dress pattern that there will not be another like it m
town. The designs were never more unique or eye
pleasinz, colors are safe, winning, and values are
down as never before. Can you tell what magic it is
that brings you such excellent fabrics for so little
money?
Shoe Sale.
$3,000 worth of shoe bought at auction while in
St. Louis at one-half value, they are too many to
enumerate intelligently, but when you need shoes,
and buy elsewhere, 'you'll be sorry when you see" the
bargains that we are offering. Other dealers are not
"in it" when it comes to shoe values. We carry the
largest shoe stock in Cass county and sell more than
anyone. Why? Because we have the best assort
ment, and sell them at smaller profit than asked by
regular shoe dealers.
Dress Trimmings.
Fishion decrees that buttons will be very popu
lar thi season. We have a lot of the prettiest we
could find in the market in Rinestone, Jet, Miniature,
Pearl and all the very latest effects.
