the thousands who witnessed the ar

volunteers is engraven a picture nover
to bo forgotten These Nebraska veter
ans have passed through hardships ill
most beyond belief They are calloused
to many things They nru hard hearted
perhaps It is nothing for them to kill
men and war caused them to grimly
and unflinchingly perforin that duty
lint when their hands met those of their
loved ones when their lips pressed ten
der kisses on sweet faeeil mothers and
their strong arms drew sister or sweet
heart to their breasts love and tender
ness touched those grim faced fol
lows and tears trickled down their
cheeks Hut they wero tears of joy
Tears which were quickly followed
by cheers cheers for having safely re
turned to loved ones cheers for their
success in war cheers in answer to tho
grand outburst of patriotism of tho peo
ple of tholr beloved state As tho trains
rolled into tho towns thousands
crowded the platforms and roadways
and never was there offered to any men
u more royal greeting and heart felt
OX THE WAV TO OMAHA
romo home All through tho state tho
people of tho towns gathered to shout a
welcome homo to many a soldier it
0ined worth the suffering he had en
dured in that far off land Those who
heard those mighty shouts of greeting
will nover forget the vibration of it
those who helped make it will bo better
men and women and better patriots for
all time to come Yesterday and today
left an impression on many lives in it
tho lovo of country touched high water
mark
Tho trains bearing tho volunteers wero
away behind time duo mostly to tho de
mands of the people along the way to
offer some evidence of their happiness
for the return of tho regiment From
the moment tho first section left San
Fruusciseo press and people have
watched and waited their coming All
across tho continent there wero greet
ings to the famous lighters and at every
station where a stop was made men
and women and children were there to
cheer a welcome and offer all sorts of
hospitalities As tho trains thundered
by the smaller stations cheers went up
backed by all tho force of vigorous Ne
braska lungs hats went into the air
and women waved their handkerchiefs
An answering shout from the men ou
tho train ami it was all over until tho
next town was reached Anxious as
wero tho soldier boys to reach their in
dividual homes a large major
ity tlesireu to tlrst go as a regiment
to Omaha where a grand reception had
been planned for them ami then to tho
homes of tho various companies where

further demonstration and entertain
ment It was in the early hours of tho
morning that the various trains steamed
into Oniaka It had been planned for
Omahas thousands to meet the volun
teers Tuesday evening but tho trains
wero so delayed that the committees
ai ranged for the regiment to arrive early
in the morning that tho soldiers might
secure a fair nights rent before enter
ing on tho reception and pleasures ten
dered them
It was G15 oclock Wednesday morn
ing when tho siren whistlo of tho Hemis
13ag company uwakened soldiers and
people aroused Omaha to tho fact that
tho regiment of which sho is so proud
was within her gates By daylight
fctraggling visitors had arrived at tho
depot ami as the moments went by the
crowd increased till an enormous throng
w is pressing for sight of tho brave vol

marred by tho long delay in tho arrival
of tho regiment yet nothing was left
undone that would show tho Fighting
First how well their services for their
country in a foreign land wero appre
ciated by tho residents of their stnto
Tho only thing possibly lacking in
making tho day ouo of supremo happi

work they undertook and who had led

Zancsvilik O Aug U The Dem
ocrat iu state convention closed last night
after a day of dramatic politics Whilo
theru were a half dozen other candi
dates for governor tho McLean men
claimed everything with such confi
dence that they undertook to bo mag
nanimous in minor parts although they
wero at the same time careful that tho
star candidate was not eclipsed They
stated early in the day that tho llrst bal
lot would havo none of the second
choice vote for McLean that none of
the reserves would be called out till tho
second ballot and that all tho candi
dates would havo their respective votes
on the first ballot In this play Mc
Lean was nominated on tho llrst ballot
by a half vote and tho liguriug was so
close that tho dramatic scene of changes
on tho second ballot with second
choice reserves flocking to McLeans
standard did not take place It is
claimed that McLean could havo had
478 votes out of tho 802 on the llrst bal
lot instead of and that ho would
havo had over 500 on the second ballot
At any rato tho delegates all voted for
their local favorites on tho first ballot
and thus the program of complimenting
them was carried out without the leader
drawing from any of his competitors
Among tho shrewdest plays in tho
drama was the motion to amend tho ro
port on permanent organization so as to
continue the temporary organization
Judge Mooney made such u good im
pression that all wanted him for perma
nent chairman
Tho convention much of the time was
beyond the control of tho sergeant-at-arms
and his assistants Tho conven
tion was properly represented in its
platform and the keynote speech of
Judge Mooney Tho iiiinio of Bryan
was cheered whenever it was men
tioned The convention showed demon
strations over lreo silver and imperial
ism unti bossism and all the indict
ments in thu speech of Judge Mooney
and in the platform The recess from 3
to 1 p m was taken to confer with
Colonel James Kilbourno for second
place on tho ticket and tho recess was
continued in vain till 5 p m for that
purpose When the convention reas
sembled there wero attempts to noiiii
nato Kilbourno notwithstanding his
repeated declinations and his friends
withdrew his name as fast us thu Mc
Lean men presented it
Tho resolutions reaflirm the Chicago
platform especially tho financial plank
favor tho nomination of Bryan in 1100
declaro opposition to imperialism and
tho war in thu Philippines denounce
trusts favor the initiative and referen
dum and election of president vice
president and senators by direct vote

feature is tho elimination of John P
