THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1S96. Calllfor Congressional Convention. The democratic convention for the First district of Nebraska is herebj called to meet at .Lincoln, Nebraska,on the 22d day of April, 1S9C, at eleven o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nomi nating two delegates to the dem ocratic national convention to be held in Chicago on the 7th day of July, said nominations to be ratified by the democratic state convention to beheld in Lincoln on the 22d day of April, 1S96, at two o'clock p. m. The basU of representation sballbeone del egate for every 100 votes, or major fraction thereof, cast for Hon. W. J. Bryan for United States senator in 1895. The several counties shall be en titled to representation as follows: Cass 21!Otoe 20 Johnson 13 Pawnee.. .. Lancaster 4C Richardson Nemaha 10 Total A non-partisan free coinage league should be organized in every precinct in Cass county. After Oregon and Washington dem ocrats declared for free coinage, and following these two western coast states, Colorado and Missouri have followed, being, if possible, more em phatic in their declarations, and the trend of events is altogether in that direction. The News has gracefully come down from its perch in ridicule of the silver movement in the democratic party and admits that the silver wing of the party will control the democratic national convention. Silver isn't so "dead" an issue as it was a few months ago. - The democrats cf Missouri held the biggest convention of the party's his ..Crescent.

Bland, the great silver coinage advocate, for president Gov. Stone making the nominating speech. A full delegation of free coinage advocates were elected delegates to the national convention. Wall street financiers stood no show in that gathering, but a strong 1G to 1 platform was adopted. The president has sent to the senate the nomination of Fitz Hugh Lee to be consul general at Havanna, Cuba, vice Ramon O. Williams, resigned. McKialej's Ambiguity Is Mr. McKinley's financial platform clean and logical ? To me it seems as ambiguous as a Delphic oracle. lie says "We want good money, made of the two metals, gold and silver, both of the same value in debt paying and purchasing power." This is fine talk, but how is Mr. McKinley going to make the two dollars have the same commercial value? Will he put enough silver into the silver dollar, to make its commercial value equal to the present gold dollar, or will he steal from the populists their fiat and put it onto the silver dollar, to make it and the gold dollar at parity ? Which ? J. F. D. Urn la Not a Holier. The following, from the World-Herald, explains itself: "To the editor of theWorld-Herald: I notice my name among the list of those selected to at tend the bolters' convention, which meets at Lincoln on the 29th instant. This is without my authority. I am a democrat, and believe in submitting to the decisions of the rightfully con stituted conventions qf my party. John II. Grossman. JJidn't Like Nebraska City. Officer Fitzpatrick captnred three boys up in the B. & M. railroad yards on Tuesday. They gave their names as Joe O'Brien, Frank Hall and Chas. Hall. Joseph was apparently about twelve years old, the other two about fourteen, and they gave their home as Nebraska City. It seems that the boys came up from the City last night on the Iowa side of the river, crossed here, and got as far as La Flatte on their way to Omaha, when they were put off by a heartless brakeman, and decided to return home via the " Walk'er" route. They were very re pentent and tearful when overhauled by the officer, and begged to be al lowed to continue their stroll toward the sunny south, and were accorded the privilege.

Lancaster and Cass made the tie-up and Bud Lindsay represents the re publicans of those two counties at St. Louis. He does not represent the dis trict or the people. Col. Druesdow was a good guesser when he predicted yesterday that Lindsay and Dovey would be the dele gates to the republican national con vention from this congressional dis trict. The republican firm of Lindsay & Dovey may do business for the repub licans of this congressional district, but the respectable portion of the re publican party vow that it will cost Congressman Strode and other re publican candidates that come up this fall many votes. The republicans everywhere in this section of the state are a decidedly sick lot over Bud Lindsay being crowded down their neck: as a dele gate to the national republican conven tion. They would not perhaps have gagged so had it been a half way de cent negro, but this reneeade makes them decidedly nauseated. They promise to make it warm for any can didate that may come up for office from either Cass or Lancaster county. New Murine- Footwear. From reliable makers.

Alford, a resident of Plattsmouth for nearly twenty yt-ars, died, at his home on West Granite street, of consump tion. Deceased was about fifty-two years of age and leaves a wife and three children, the eldest being about fourteen years old. Until several years ago, he was employed in the 13. & M. blacksmith shop, but failing health compelled him to seek outside work, and since then he has been do ing carpenter worn until several months ago, when the dread malady commenced its final work, and he took to his bed. Mr. Alford was well known and liked for his honesty and industrious ways, and his death will be sincerely mourned by a large circle of friends, besides by his family. The funeral will occur tomorrow af ternoon at two o'clock, from the M. E. church. .V stock Herd.

J. A. Pavies was lubbling over with disappointment. He, no doubt, thought he was the man to go to St. Louis, but then everybody couldn'tgo John was good natured, however, and prone to fun making. He remarked after Lindsey's nomination that the First district was now pledged to Mc Kinley beyond any further doubt. "Why ?" asked someone. "Why with Lindsey and Dovey its in 'Black and White,' all right enough isn't it ? and we'll have to stay by it." Lincoln Call.
