FENDER JUDGE IS NAMED DY THE FUSIONISTS. 18 LOVE FEAST THROUGHOUT The Populists Named Judge Graves In the Afternoon and the Democrats at Night He Made a Speech Attacking the Tariff Question. [ From Tucsdny'a Dally. ] Judge Guy T. Graves of 1'umlor was nominated by populists'and democrats of the Third congressional district In Nebraska in Norfolk lust night. The populists ut the city hull nominated him in the afternoon , and the demo crats at the Auditorium nominated htm at night. There was no opposition. It was a love feast. The name of Judge Graves was placed before the convention by Hon. P. E. McKHHp , the candidate of two years ago. Mr. McKllllp made a speech In which he eulogized Judge Graves as a square and able man , who has repeatedly carried a republican district in the Judicial race. The nomination was seconded by Attorney Moody of West Point. F. M. Carlton of Leigh , as a ropro- tentative of the populist congressional convention , announced that he came to announce that the populists had nominated Judge Graves. The nomination was then made by acclamation. Judge Graves was es corted to the platform amid cheers. In thanking the convention ho said he thought the time had come when the public corporations should be the ser vant of the people instead of the people ple servants. He said that he believed in railroad regulation which will reg ulate , and that if laws fall , he believes In government ownership. He at tacked the tariffs that protect lumber , salt and sugar trusts , especially the lumber trust. "It is time we reduce the tariff walls and let lumber pour in , " he said. He said he has never ridden on a pass and that he does not know that Judge Boyd has. The democratic congressional con vention met in the Auditorium at 2:30 : yesterday afternoon. After the dele gates had assembled , something less than 100 strong , and all In their shirt sleeves , the Hadar band , which had been engaged by the Norfolk Commer cial club for the occasion , played a selection. Chairman Dan V. Stephens of Fre mont called the convention to order and Secretary John B. Donovan read the call. Douglas Cones moved that the reading of the call be dispensed with , but one delegate said he had never seen a call , and wanted It read , so It was read. McKllllp Applauded. Hon. Patrick Emmett McKllllp of Humphrey , candidate two years ago , was introduced as the temporary chairman. Mr. McKlllip was received with cheers. "It is too hot to make or to hear a long speech , " he said. "So I shall be brief. But all I shall say , will be of good cheer. "During past months , democracy's future looked dark. But today we see the dawning light. The principles of democracy have been exonerated. Today republicans all over this nation are standing on principles put forth by democracy In years gone by. Refers to Bryan. Mr. McKilllp's reference to Bryan was applauded. "Today , " he said , "our leader is attracting more atten tion around the world than any other man. "Mr. Bryan , though twice defeated , has done more during the past two years to dominate American politics than any other man. And when the time comes that Bryan and his lieu tenants throughout the length and breadth of this land , shall rule , we will all be proud to be Nebraskans. " Mr. McKllllp thanked the democrats and populists of this district for their efforts in his behalf In 1904. He stat ed that It was a magnificent perform ance , in that it rolled back 10,000 votes for him over the head of the ticket. He declared that half the effort this year means victory. Neal H. Mnpes of Colfax was made temporary secretary , with A. W. Smith of Cumlng as assistant. Committees. The chair named the following com mittee on credentials : J. H. Johannes , Platte ; M. C. Garrett , Madison ; Jo seph LaMore , Thurston ; Chas. W. Reynolds , Wayne ; W. E. Powers , Pierce. The committee on resolutions was named as follows : Edgar Howard , Platte ; Dan V. Stephens , Dodge ; Douglas Cones , Pierce ; Harry Miller , Stanton ; John Wachter. Pierce. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Planks Upon Which Judge Graves Will Stand for Election. Following was the platform adopted last night by the democratic congres sional convention : The democracy of the Third congres sional district of Nebraska reaffirms the cardinal principles of thn party H3 enunciated by Jefferson , defended by Jackson and now championed by Wil liam J. Bryan. We voice a message of love to the great leader of democracy now upon the &eas and hono'\nrd bound and be speak for him at his Homecoming n welcome as warm as Ins own need heart wherever It extends for the cause of humanity. In the record of the last national congress we find no act worthy the commendation of American people , save only such legislation as was in harmony with the demand of a na tional democracy during recent years , and wo point to the fact that In every good work of the congress the uay was not only blazed by democratic platforms but the work was performed under direction of democratic leaders. Wo stand linn upon that govern mental foundation stone which Is an over present protest against every form of legalized theft under the name of a protective tariff. Wo nillnu that a protective tariff has never brought anything better than n llnanclal bur den to the people of this agricultural district ; and wo hero give pledge that the nominee of this convention shall bo armed by the people with it vote In congress , ho will use that vote In favor of free lumber , free coal , free barbed wire , free Iron and steel and all agricultural Implements. We are opposed to any and every effort look- ing toward any system or asset cur rency and Insist that the power * to Issue all lawful money IH Inherent In the national government. We applaud every intelligent effort to curb by law the greed of the public service corpo rations. Wo pledge the nominee of this convention to cast his vote , If elected , In favor of regulation of Inter , state freight and passenger charges , by railroads , telegraph , telephone , sleeping car and express companies. We particularly give pledge to the people of this district that the nomi nee of this convention will , if elected , work and vote for such legislation ns will drive out of business that greatest of all pirates upon the sea of agricul ture , the national grain trust , and drive to the penitentiary doors all members of that trust who have been instrumental In the spoliation of this grain producing people by grain trust methods. The democratic party Is the foe of fraud wherever found and re fuses to regard It less than fraud when committed within the party household. We endorse the demand of Mr. Bry- in for the resignation of the Illinois member of the democratic national committee on the ground that his elec tion was secured by a fraud so prob- iblo as to admit ot no controversy. We agree with Mr. Bryan that the democratic party can not successfully attack fraud while sheltering within Its folds a national commltteeman whoso certificate of election bears the sign and the seal of fraud. We believe the only true solution of the railroad rate problem lies through the ultimate ownership of railroads by the people. While favoring the regulation of freight and passenger rates by statute , we declare for the principle of public ownership at the earliest possible date , and specifically for the Immediate gov ernment ownership and operation of sulllclent railroad mileage , extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific , and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes , to enable the government to control the rate situation and to pre vent extoctlon and discrimination on the part of private owners of inter state railroads. The democracy of the Third congres sional district finds encouragement and inspiration in the work of the democratic state convention recently assembled in Lincoln. We congratu late the people of Nebraska on the opportunity offered to support at the polls the magnificent men named as candidates and the platform of true American principles proclaimed by that convention. The nominee of this convention is In himself a right sort of platform as touching the free pass evil. He takes the democratic position that there can Lie no difference between a pass bribe and a money bribe , and he has lived true to that position. During all the years of his service as judge of the district court his pocket has never been polluted by a political or other kind of free railroad pass a record In striking contrast with the record of liis republican opponent In the present campaign who brazenly prides himself upon the number of free passes which ho has solicited , procured and used while wearing the robes of the magis trate. POPULISTS IN CONVENTION. They Convened at the City Hall Fa vor Ownership of Utilities. The populists met at the city hall. Jacob Wooster was not there , because lie was across the street In the dem ocratic camp. Reading of the call was dispensed with. Mr. Carleton of Leigh was made tem porary chairman and D. J. Pointer of Albion temporary secretary. The tem porary organization was made perma nent. The following resolutions committee was named : Carleton , F. A. Bryant , Pointer , MacMahon and Bygland. . Fol lowing Is the platform adopted : We congratulate ourselves and the people at largo on the fact that popu list principles have become so pop ular and respectable that the old par ties are forced to Incorporate them in their platforms. The only question now is to nominate good men as most platforms are written alike. We still adhere to those principles known as the Omaha platform , which can never die. They have grown until they are received by all parties. Recognizing the fact that In the multitude of counsel there Is wisdom , wo deem the representatives of the people in congress as having more wis dom than a few supreme court judges. We therefore stamp our disapproval on declaring any law unconstitutional that Is not concurred in by the whole court. We favor an income tax. We favor a domestic parcels post. Wo favor a postal savings bank. We favor an anti-pass law making It a crime to give or receive a railroad pass or transportation except to em ployes and shippers of live stock on return from market. We favor a direct primary law. We favor the Initiative rind referen dum. dum.We We favor a law making It a crime for corporations to contribute to any political campaign fund. We demand of all public officers , who now hold a free pass over any railroad , that they nt once surrender the same. We favor government ownership of railroads , telegraph and all natural monopolies. Meanwhile , wo favor put ting lumber , Iron and steel on the free lift. lift.We We favor a two-cent per mile pas- scnger rate and n uniform freight rate without the present rebate system. Dr. Drynnt Speaks. Dr. F. A. tlrynnt of Norfolk made a speech before the convention In which he declared the government should own the trusts Instead of the trusts owning the government , and said the railroads should be owned especially the trunk lines , by the government. Dr. Bryant declared that It Is Im possible to curb or to control the trusts or railroads , and that govern ment ownership , alone , will solve the problem. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

FROM NORFOLKTO COLORADO _ Mrs. Matrau Describes Beautiful Spot in the Mountains. The following letter was received from Mrs. H. C. Matrau of Norfolk , who Is spending the summer in Colorado rado mountains : Slmwnee , Colo. , Aug. 18. A trip up the Platte canon Is one of the grand trips provided by the Colorado and Southern railroad for the summer tour ist. It is not as well known or as fa mous as the Silver Plume trip over the wonderful Georgetown Loup , or the Seven Falls or Garden of the Gods trip , yet It is beautiful and grand enough to almost equal them. Shawnee , where our little party Is camping , Is only sixty miles up the canon , but that is far enough to give a good Idea of the scenery. To reach Shawnee we take the Colorado and Southern railway at Denver. At first the country looks uninter esting but soon the mountains grow onger and before long we are winding around rocks with such sharp curves that the engine and all cars In front of us can be plainly seen. On the one side of us the Platte river rushes and roars at a fierce rate , while on the other side the rocks are so near that we could easily touch them by leaning from the car window. The little narrow guage engine puffs bravely along up , up , past numerous resorts a few miles apart until the sixty miles is covered and wo are at Shawnee , 8,125 feet above sea level and nearly 3,000 feet higher than Den ver. The train service is good and the officials and trainmen exceedingly obliging. Coming from Denver Mr. Michael , artist , and formerly of Norfolk , got on the train. Himself and family have been In this part of the country all summer , part of the time at George town and the remaining time at Platte canon. Shawnee has a fine modern hotel , owned , equipped and maintained by the C. & S. railroad. There are some l > eautiful cottages but they are owned by the wealthy people. A few little old ones are for rent. They are com fortable and well enough for a few weeks' outing. The hcenery is free and there arc enough mountains to keep an ordinary person climbing for months. I never enjoyed a vacation as much In my life and shall always carry with me the picture of the "everlasting hills , " wonderful beyond description. Mrs. H. C. Matrau. Drunk. A tramp , giving his name ns Albert Freek , was up before police court this morning on the charge of being rdunk and disorderly. He was assessed the usual fine of $2.00 and costs , amount ing In all to $7.10. NORTH NEDRA8KA HORSES ACT LIKE THEY HAD THE GRIP. AND ARE GETTING VACATIONS The Drivers are Walking , For Once , and Reducing Their Surplus Weight. The Contagion Hns Gone the Rounds Pretty Well. IH your horse troubled with a pair of sere oyeH , which are off color ami tilled with tears ? Does the animal act llko It had the grip , or a throe-ply jng , as a dentist would call It ? Why ? Well , If it does , It has the pink oyo. Whllo hay fever sufforerH among mankind are sneezing and rubbing their eyes , trying to find relief ami falling at It , the horse world through out north Nebraska towns , Is suffering equally as much and maybe more , from this exasperating pink eye. The plague has spread all about the town , and the horse that has escaped the contagion ought to bo drafted Into ser vice an a nurHo for the rest of the equine patients. Still that might make draft horses out of racers , and there's Lho rub. It Is not n dull day for the veterinary surgeons. They are In demand day and night to look after the pink eye victims , while the doctors of men are taking It easy through a lack of busi ness. The horses which have the pink eye are taking it easy , too. For the first time In many moons'Homo of them are taking enforced vacations , while their drivers are walking off surplus ! > ounds that have been accumulating through these years for lack of exer cise. cise.And And so , It Is said , there are compen sations , oven for the pink eye.
