Moith of January Each Year
Resolutions.
Seven Hundred Delegate.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
delegates to the state bimetallic con veu
tion began swurmiug into the Lansing
theatre, filling the house to the utmost
corner. The different county uelegai ions
were seated by themselves ami this
necessitated the loss of cousideruble time
in seating the audience.
John Jeffcoat of Omaha nulled the
convention to order and Chaplain
Mailley of the house of representatives
invoked divine blessing upon the
convention's deliberations aud the cause
of bimetallism.
Judge W. L. Greene wns nominated for
temporary chairman. Air. Jetfcoat an
nounced in a short speech that the com
mittee on arrangement and organization
had selected Hon. (). VV. lierge us tempor
ary chairman, aud after some littlediscim
siUn Mr. Berge assumed the duties of
that ofrice. He made a ringing speech
of acceptance that was well received by
the audience and delegates.
Mr. Manahan of this city in an elo
quent speech nominated II. C. Richmond
of Red Cloud for secretary, and he was
elected.
The counties reported the number of
their several delegations UU2 del
egates being present.
A quartette IromYork rendered a song
of considerable merit.
The committee on permanent organiz
ation reported thus: Chairman, Judge
Cunningham R. Scott of Omaha; Secre
tary. James Stockman of Kearney
county; first assistant, Charles B. Scott
of Buffalo county; second assistant, C.
D. Jenkins of Madison.
Judge Scott was conducted to the chair
and made an able speech ot asceptance,
closing by asking the convention to aid
him in harmoniously conducting the
meeting.
A committee of three from each con
gressional district was appointed to
draft resolutious.the districts suggesting
the names and the chair appointing the
first .three named in each instance as
follows: First district, George A.Abbott,
E. L. Fulton, J. M. Gilchrist; Second die
trict, E. It. Duffle, C. L. Sprague, J. W.

trict, 11. D. Smith, Richard Nightengale,
E. B. Daily. ;
While the committee on resolutions
was out Comrressman Willium Greene
made an address qf some length and
much force. He dwelt in a happy
strain upon the healthful condiiion of
bimetallism in the Sixth district, saying
that they had had a regular 'dehorn
ing" process in operation up there that
had left the people all docile end willing
to be housed together under one Head in
the cause of bimetallism.
Shortly after the close of Judge
Greene's address the resolutions commit
tee reported that i would be 8 or 9
o'clock before it would be able to report.
After some little talk on matters of
little importance the convention ad
journed until 7:.'50 in the evening.
The evening session was opened with a
song by the York double quartet and
short speeches by L. J. Stubbs of
Superior and A. C. Shellenbarger of

.Inrkwin' ntrthilMV Celebrated.
Chicago, III., Jan. 7. William J. Bryan
was the guest of the Bryan league at a
big banquet givia tonight at the Tre
mont house in celebration of the anni
versary of Andrew Jackson'sbirth. Four
hundred democrats assembled in the
large dining hall. With few exceptions
they were residents of Chicago. Their
entliusia-on, when the name of Mr. Bryan
was mentioned, was unbounded, aud a
flattering display of admiration fol
lowed his rising to speak to the .toast
"Andrew Jackson." To a man each
banqueter arose and waved anything
available, accompanying the demonstra
tion with vociferous cheers for "Bryan."
The late candidate of his party was fully
at his ease and, although tired from his
long travel nnd days work of receiving
friends, he met all expectations when he
spoke.
Mr. Bryan commenced speaking just
after miduight, the hour being thus ar
ranged to occur on the birthday of the
great man of the past.
The speech covered "meaning of dem
ocracy," touched on "majority should
rule," "work of national banks," "Wol
cott's bimetallic move," "duty of bi
metallists" and a word on corporations
und civil service.
Followiug are some extracts from the
address:
"Mr. Toastmuster and Gentlemen: In
view of the tact tuat tne ciud unoer
whose auspices we met has done me the
honor to take my name, I feel that it is
only just to the club and to myself to
repeat here what I have said elsewhere,
namely, that my judgment disap
proves of the use of my name in connec
tion with the democrat or silver clubs.
My objection is a two fold one. In the
first place, 1 believe that a cause is so
much greater than any individual that
it should not be burdened by any mis
takes which he may make. : While aman
lives he is liable to err and his errors are
apt to injure any cause with which he
is closely identified. During a cam
paign a cause must be identified, for the
tune being, with candidates tor public
ofiice, but when the campaign is over
and the candidate no longer stands in a
representative capacity, 1 believe it is
wise to disassociate him from the cause
as far as possible in order that public
attention may be centered upon prin
ciples and policies rather than upon men.
The other objection is a personal one. I
do not want to stand for four years in
the attitude of a candidate for the presi
dency. I do not want zealous friends to
be continually alarmed lest I should do
something to alienatesome of those who
gave me their confidence and support.
In the past 1 have spoken out upon pub
lic questions which in my judgment
needed to be discussed and I desire to
occupy the same position in the future.
When the next campaign opens it will
be time enough to select a candidate
suited to the conditions then existing
and fit for the work then to be done.
Fully appreciating the high, compliment
paid me aud duly grateful therefor, I
still repeat my suggestion that my name
be 110 longer couuected with the names
of clubs.
The Meaning of Democracy.
"As we are assembled upon this occa
sion to do honor to the memory of Au
drew Jackson, we may properly discuss
the relations which should exist between
the democrat who indorsed the Chicago
platform and the t,o-called democrats
who aided in the election of a republican
president. The democrats who controlled
the Chicago convention earned their
right to the party organization and the
party name by whatever rule their
claims may be measured. A democracy
is a government m which the people
rule. In other words, it is a government
such as Lincoln described: 'A govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people,' and a democrat in the
broadest sense is one who believes in tins
form of government.
When 1 say 1 believe in tins lorm ot
government, I mean actual, sincere,
heartfelt belief,uot a formal and enlorceil
submission to that form of govern
ment. Measured by this definition,
those who supported the Chicago plat
form are democrats because they assert
the right of the people to govern them
selves and the right of the American peo
ple to legislate for themselves upon all
questious regardless of the wishes of
those who live iu other lands. In a
technical seuse democracy is outlined aud
defined by the democratic party.
"If those who bolted the Chicago
uominees have a right to . call them
selves better democrats than those who
supported such nominees, then the bolt
ing democrats who bolted the bolting
ticket aud voted for the republican
nominees have a right to call them
selves better democrats than the bolters
who supported the bolting ticket. The
right to uarl.V organization belongs to
the majority and the right to the party
name must also belong to the majority.
"There should be no difficulty in un
derstanding the relations which should
exist between the democrats wtio re
mained in the party and those persons
who went out of the party. A party is
defined as an association of persons who
agree upon important question and
who unite to give effect to their ideas.
The money question became the tiara
mouut issue of the diy; thedemocrats in
convention took a position upou the
question and made a gallant tight in
defense of the platlorm adopted, it tne
monev question was now considered set
tied another issue could be taken up and
a new alignment made, but the
money question is not settled
The contest for the restoration
of the money of the constitution will go
on with renewed vigor. The people who
advocated free silver before the election,
advocate it now. The election has de
cided the presidency for lour yeurs and
it has determined the complexion ot con
gress for two years, but it has not over
thrown the convictions of those who be
lieve that the gold standard is a con
spiracy aganst the welfare of the pro
ducing masses nor has it changed the
convictions of those who believe that
trusts must be abolished and corpora
tions made to obey the law.
So Compromise Possible.
"This camDaigu has shown the impos
sibilitv of keeping bimetallism aud gold
staudard advocates in the same political
organizations, and it will be a uiore
difficult task in the future than it has
been this year, To use a common illus
tration, a' hen is always disturbed if she
has iu her brood a few ducks which insist
upon paddling in the water while the
chickens are content to scratch upon t k
I land. The democratic party will in like
' manner lie ill at ease if it has a few web
footej members who insist upon crossing
j the ocean lor their ideas while the great
. majority of the party are willing to find
j their political food upou American soil.
Not only is this separation
between th gold etandard
democrats and free silver democrats
a necessity, but it ought to be desirable
: to both sides. If the goUl, standard
democrats are as bad, politically, ns we
1 think they are, we ought not to care to
! affiliate with them, and if those who
i supported the Chicairo platform are
, half as bad as the goldbugs say they
ure, they are apt to contaminate all who
associate with them. In my opinion
1 there should be no compromise of the
issues involved m the late campaign,
and no terms short of absolutesurrender
offered those who have deserted us. If
any democrat becomes convinced that
! the gold standard fs necessary, or be
comes a defender of trusts, he can leave
i the party and join the bolting demo
crats or the republicans, If any bolting
democrat sees the error of his way, and
is willing to endorse the Chicago plat
form and labor with those who seek to
carry it into effect, we will welcome such
a democrat back into the fold."
In speaking of the work which bimetal
lic clubs should take up, Mr. Bryan said:
"Let me call attention to another
work which clubs can do. They can en
courage the support of those newspapers
which are opposed to thegold standard.
No newspaper can not long exist with
out readers, and unless the advocates of
free coinage are willing to support news
papers which represent their ideas they
must expect to be without newspapers."
Judge Ambrose and Governor Altgelt
also spoke.

FORTY THOUSAND.
First Natio al BaoK of Alma Goes Under
With Siate Funds.
The First National bank of "Alma was
closed Saturday by Bank Examiner H.
Whitmore.
Liabilities are $134,000. This includes
$46,000 deposits, $10,500 JJonging to
the state, and $1,600 to Harual county.
Assets are reported to be about the same
amount, but it cannot be told how good
they are as yet. Joel A. Piper, retiring
secretary of state.is understood to have
been connected with the institution. At
the time of the closing of the bank A. L.
Burr, the president of the bank, was in
Omaha, and professed to know no cause
for closing the institution. He said the
bank had assets of $160,000, half of
which were farmers' notes and uncollect-
able, while the deposits were $60,000.
PURSUING THE POOR.
Wair.rus Issued far a Lot of Imp;cu-
neous Draymen.
Officer Pound, acting under the direc
tion or authority of tho board of educa
tion, has preferred complaints in police
court against a largo number of people
or non-payment of license. Clerk Will
Baird was making out the warrants
today. There were twenHy-eight of them.
Among thf m are quite a number against.
people wno are very poor ana wno are
trying to make a living by operating
drays. Among these is a young man
named Fager, whose father was
sent to the penitentiary for
il'e and who has b'"en trying to support
the family by dra.yiug. The police say
that it is simply impossible for him to
pay his license, and that, if deprived of
this source of revenue the family must
be supported by the county. Another of
the victims is a one-legged colored man.
There are said to be several whose
families are dependent on the county
for aid.
Among the warrants also is one
against a well known firm of chattel
mortgage money Ion new, who are
charged with operating a pawn shop.

In 1S50 or i8"2 The Iky went to an
Other daine's school. It was kept
Miss KilpatrUk. on Franklin or Xortt
Moore street. From this, as he grew
In years, he was sent to the primary
deiartment of the North Moore street
public school at the corner of West
Broadway, wheie be remained three
weeks, and where he contracted a
whooping cough which lasted him foi
three months. The other bjs used tu
throw his hat upon an awning in the
neighborhood, and then throw their
own hats up under the awning in order
to bounce The Boy's hat oft an amuse
ment for which he never much cared.
They were not very nice boys anyway,
especially when they made fun of hi
matflnal grandfather, who was a trus
tee of the school and who sometimes
noticed The Boy after tho morning
prayers were said. The grandfather
was very popular at the school. He
came in every day, stepped up on the
raised platform at the principal's desk,
and said in his broad Scotch, "Good
morning, boys!" to which the entire
body of pupils at the top of their lungi
and with one voice, replied, "G-o-o-d
morning. Mr. Scott!" This was con
sidered a great feature in the school,
and strangers used to como from all
over the city to witness it. Somehow
It made The Boy a little bit aahamed,
he does not know why. He would
have liked it well enough and been
touched by it, too ,if It had been some
other boy's grandfather. The Boy's
father was present once The Boy's
first day; but when he discovered that
the president of the board of trustees
was going to call on him for a speech
he ran away; and The Boy would have
given all his little possession to have
run after him. The Boy knew theii as
well as he knows now how his father
felt, and he thinks of that occasion
every time he runs away from some
speech he himself is called upon to
make. "A Boy I Knew," by Laurence

Every Thursday evening a tourist
sleeping car for Salt Lake City, San
Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Oma
ha and Lincoln via the Burlington
route. It is carpeted, upholstered in
rattan; has spring seats and backs, and
is provided with curtains, bedding,
towels, soap, etc. An experienced ex
cursion conductor :nnd a uniformed
Pullman porter accompany it through
to the Pacific coast.
While neither an expensively furnished
nor ns fine to look at as a palace sleeper
it is just as good to ride in. Second
class tickets are honored, nnd the price
of a berth, wide enough and big enough
for two is only f 5.
For a folder giving full particulars call
at the B. & M. depot or city office, cor
