SPECIAL TO DENVER.
Third District Democrats Will Travel
In Exclusive Fashion ,
Fremont Herald : Third district
democrats will have a special train to
the national democratic convention In
Denver next July 7.
The train will comprise standard
sleepers , and will bo made up at Fre
mont. The train will leave Fremont
July 5 , at C p , m. , and arrive In Denver -
ver July C , at 7:30 : In the morning.
Dan V. Stephens , chairman of the
Third congressional committee , and ,
Incidentally , chairman of the Ne-
liraskn delegation , will have olllcliil
charge of the train , although the per
sonal charge will be given to railroad
men. Probably Agent II. B. Idler of
this city will accompany the train to
Don ver.
Wives and daughters of the demo
' ' a1 * will be welcome. According to
present plans , the special will he
made up of standard sleepers , with
diner attached , and all modern ac
commodations.
Any county from which as many an
eighteen persons go , will bo entitled
to a special car of the train If the or
der Is forwarded to Mr. Stephens or
to the agent In time. Many will
doubtless take advantage of thin so
that neighbors and friends may be
together better.
The plan proposed will cheat the
Denver hotels out of a small fortune.
The Third district Hpeclal will bo
switched Into the yards nearest a
street car line , and there left during
the entire convention three days.
Thus , those who fall to make previous
hotel arrangements or find themselves
without a place to sloop may return
to their berth at the train. When It
Is considered that a bed at any of the
hotels will run from $2 to $ G , it can
bo readily seen that the special train
Idea will be a great saving.
The fare for the round trip will bo
$16.75. The sleeper accommodations
will be $2 per day extra. Thus , It Is
plain that those who take the special
train will save money good nnd plenty.
Berths and tickets should bo en
gaged at an early date , so that Agent
Eller may know what to depend upon.
Cumlng and Stanton counties have
each engaged a special car In this
train for their parties , nnd It Is hoped
that every county in the district will
muster as many as eighteen people to
have a car of their own. In that
event , at least eighteen cars would
make up the train.
Chairman Stephens , in reply to a
question as to the right of those out
side the district to go on this train ,
said :
"It Is certain that many outsldo the
Third district will go on our train ,
for the reason that each congressional
district is not so situated with rail-
