..EL Q. M'GILTON, Douglas County

Neb. (Special.) Shutting Its
wrwm to its action of just ten yean ago,
ths republican state convention nomi
nated for Judge of the supreme court.
- f " n. Keese of Lancaster and
prevailed on that gentleman to stand
for the office in the- campaign of 189.
It will be remembered that ten years
ago the republicans were in practically
undisputed control in Nebraska and a
nomination in a republican convention
was equivalent to an election. Under
those circumstances Judge Reese asked
tor an indorsement of his official ac
tios by a nomination for a second term
and after a struggle In the Hastings
invention that will long be memorable
la Nebraska politics he was defeated
aad T. L. Norval was elevated to the
supreme benrch of the state.
Of late years republican candidates
aave not been blooming in rich profu
sion in Nebraska, and the party mana
gers decided that it might be wise to
resurrect a relic of the days of but re
publican majorities. In casting about
for a promising subject them stumbled
apon Judge Reese, and he was told that
be was It He protested against being
maae a victim, and said that he was
ao better now in the days of his par
ty's adversity than he had been In the
days of Its prosperity, but the party
managers insisted that he had Improv
ed wonderfully, and that he was, in
deed, a political Moses. Still be demur,
red, bat the siren song was sung in
saaay a key and finally Judge Reese
"viewed the situation la its proper
light," as oae of the delegates express
ad It, and consented to stand as the re
publican stalking horse for ISM.
EXPOSES THEIR HAND.
The convention was a notable affair
ki more respects than one. It uncov
ered the proposed plan for a hurrah
Campaign under the guise of simulated
patriotism, backed by brass bands and
Bags to carry the thing through. The
sort to play the soldiers for all they
were worth was one of the most con
spicuous features of the convention.
Everything in that direction was care
fully concocted beforehand, even to the
minutest details necessary to the pro
duction of a successful spectacle. Even
the arrangement for the appearance of
Major J. N. Klllian on the stage was to
the extent of placing a note on the
table of the presiding officer, directing
him to "Be sure and call Major Klllian
op to sit on the stage if he Is In the
hall, and put him right up in front."
A side Issue of the convention, in
connection with the speech made by
Chaplain Maliley of the First Nebraska,
was unobserved, except by the parties
curectiy interested and a reporter.
About ten minutes before the name of
Chaplain Maliley was called by a dele
gate In the rear of the room Judge
Post hurried up to Senator Haywctrd
and said that "the man who was the
-saaweahs-at -tfca First Nebraaka wants

Omaha, Neb., Sept 24. The railroad
pass must go. This is the edict which
has been promulgated by the execu
tive officers of a majority of railroads
operating in the United States. Even

CATECHISING THE CHAPLAIN.
Judge Post hastened away and shortly
afterward the name of Chaplain Mall
ley was called. Cheers greeted the de
mand, but the delegate who made the
first call was compelled to announce
that Chaplain Maliley "had Just step
ped outside but would return in a few
minues. " The "stepping outside" was
- caused by the discretion committee
withdrawing the chaplain to examine
him as to whether or not his speech
would be of a sufficiently Imperialistic
nature to warrant its production at a
republican convention.
When it came to the work of swing

ter, and it may be accepted as the fun
damental plan of the campaign. The
speeches of the temporary chairman

same line.

of thanks to the First Nebraska volun

islands, as unkind, un-American and
unpatriotic and we particularly resent
the implication contained in the gov
ernor's words, when he says: 'I can not
stultify myself and the calm Judgment
of the thinking people of this com
monwealth by giving official sanction to
the statement that the war now car
ried on In the far-away Philippines is
in defense of the principles of our gov
ernment and is adding more glory to
our flag.'
"We denounce the attempt of the
fuslonlsts to fraudulently count an
amendment to the constitution as rati
fied which had been rejected by a de
cisive majority of the electors, and we
regard as a confession of guilt the re
fusal of former state officers implicated
in the conspiracy to rape the ballot
box to appear before a legislative In
vestigating committee.

hand, will enjoy such a marked Increase
in revenue that their earnings will be
swelled by many millions of dollars.
A committee, representing six of the
largest railroad systems in the west,
has been at work on this proposition
for the past six months. They have
canvassed the field thoroughly. To the
executive officers of every railroad In
the United States this committee sent a
letter of Inquiry early in June asking
them their opinion on the abolishment
of free transportation. Of 200,000 miles
of road In the United States, 120,000
were voted in favor of the proposition.
Managers of the other 80,000 have either
not replied or remained non-committal,
so that the proposition practically
meets with the unanimous approval of
railroad men everywhere. .
The committee which has had tills
matter In charge is composed of Vice
President Earling of the Milwaukee,
Vice President Morton of the Santa Fe,
President Burt of the Union Pacific,
Vice President Harahan of the Illinois
Central, Vice President Ramsey of the
Wabash and Vice President Johnson of
the Rock Island. It held a meeting In
Chicago last week and tts action '
taken in accordance with the expressed
preference of the railroad corporations
who are vitally interested In the matter
and whose Intention to abolish the
railroad pass Is one of the most radical
and sweeping measures ever decided
upon. The committee has made a rec

William Wllmotte, a bachelor farmer
living five miles west of Hemlngford,
received a sound thrashing at the hands
of Mrs. Luke Phillips, a neighbor's
wife. The cause of the trouble seems
to be that Wlllmotte's stock were tres
passing on the Phillips' farm and after
bearing the annoyance for several days
Mrs. Phillips penned up the stock, Mr.
Phillips being away from borne. This
aroused Mr. Wlllmotte's Ire and when
he came after the stock he commenced
to call Mrs. Phillips vile names, where
upon she proceeded to give him a good
lashing with a strap which had a buckle
t the end. Wlllmotte made no resist
ance, but when he made good his es
cape he again abused Mrs. Phillips.
She fears further violence from Wlll

having him placed under arrest. Wlll

October 10.
From the expression of opinion re
celved from the railroad managers It If
possible that at this St. Louis meeting
the recommendation of the committee
will be adopted and the railroad past
will then be a thing of the psst In
some quarters, however, doubt Is en
tertained as to whether the railroad
managers will agree to this plan after
they have given it further considers
tlon. It may be more of a difficult
matter than Is anticipated to do away
with the old-established custom of Is
suing passes to those who are consld
ered worthy to receive them. It will
be remembered that the question was
considered by officers of western roadt
at a meeting held In St Louis last year.
It was considered by many to be a wise
course to pursue the abolishment ol
the pass but no sctlon In this direction
was taken, further than the establish
ment of bureaus at different points
to restrict the issuance of free trans
portation. Such a bureau Is located
la Omaha, and so for as known Its op
eration nas oeen very satisfactory.
