The whole was a graud succeed. For VoBgram Iitrict 3. Delpgafes to the Congressional con vention begau to arrive at Fremont ou the 6th, and by noon of the 7th, the town was alive with candidates, dele gates and spectators. At about eleven o'clock the following printed notice had been circulated : NOTICE. All delegates to the republican congres sional convention of the Third district will band their credentials to the chair man of the republican congressional con vention committee in order that their names may he entered on the roll for temporary organization. Rooms over postoffice. L. Crounse, Chairman Congressional Central Com. M. Whitmoyer, Sec. Cong. Cent. Com. Frkmont, September 7, 1882. Though not unusual in form, the notice evidently troubled the Valen tine delegates, and Valentine called in person to know by what authority the call had been issued, and was answered that the same authority, (the State Central Committee) which had issned a call for the convention had constituted Crounsechairmau and Whitmoyer secretary, and that the notice was the usual method pursued by the state central committee, so that the roll of delegates accredited and undisputed, conld be made op. In a short time the following print ed circular appeared : WHKKKA9,The state central committee at its meeting for that purpose duly pass ed a resolution authorizing and empow ering the resident member of the state central committee to call the congression al convention of the Third congressional district to order, and Whkreas, S. B. Colson, of Fremont, Nebraska, is said member, and is there fore the proper person to call such con vention to order, I will therefore call such to order at 2 o'clock P. M.. of this day. Dated, September 7th, 1882. S. H. Colson, Resident Member ot Republican State Central Committee. We, the members of the republican state central committee, certify that the above action was taken by the republican state central committee, and endorse the above call. W. D. Mathews, John a. Ehrhardt, B. J. "Wyman, G. W. E. Dorsky, Proxy for S. B. Colson. O. B. WlLLARD, Members of Republican State Central Committee. The facts are that no resolution of the sort was adopted by the com mittee, and we are told that some of the pretended signers were not pres ent at Fremont during the convention, that one of them is not & resident of the 3d district, and that Mr. Dorsey did not affix his signature to the cir cular. The whole affair was plainly an afterthought, concocted to get the temporary organization of the conven tion into the possession of the Valen tine forces, and those of the anti Valentine delegates who were deceiv ed by the pretended authority of Colson went with the avowed Valen tine delegations, and the delegations which had been selected for shadow candidates, and constituted the Valen tine convention, while those who rec ognized the authority of the chairman and secretary of the central committee formed a convention by themselves, and confidently claim not only to be the regular convention of the Repub lican party in the third district, but to be in sentiment and character, in speech and conduct on the occasion, the better exponent of republican principles aud conduct. Promptly at 2 o'clock the convention was called to order by Hon. Lorenzo Crounse, chairman of the district con gressional central committee. Hon. Wm. F. Goodwill of Lincoln county was elected temporary chair man and Hon. H. W. McClure of Holf, secretary. Committee on credentials: E. C. Calkins of Buffalo; P. Hagerty of Holt ; E A. Fry of Knox; S. P. Par ker of Pierce and D. L. Bruen of Platte. The committee reported the follow ing persons as entitled to seats : Custer County J. D Ream. Knox-Will Felbnr, O. W. Rice, Albert Pavelka, T.J. Buckmaster, Ed. A. Fry and Oliver Jackson. Platte Leauder Gerrard, D. L. Uruen, Robert Wiley, A. Heinrich, S. .1. Wheeler aud W. H. Selsor. Lincoln H. C. Col burn, W. F. Goodwill, F. C. Patterson and C. S. Grover. Pierce S. P. Parker and E. P. Holmes. Holt Patrick Haggertv. S. M. .Brenner, H. W. McClure, C. B. Her man and G. M. Cleveland. Buffalo A. H. Connor. Jos. Block. A. D. Randall, H. C. Andrews, E. C. Call. ins, F. G. Hamer, James Jenkins, W. C. Holden, B. H. Goulding aud Rice Eaton. Washington Charles Sellek. The committee recommended that C. D. Jenkins be admitted to repre sent Madison county, and J. XV. Riley Boone county. The report was adopted, the tem porary organization made permanent and the following committee appoint ed on resolutions: G. M Cleveland, J. D. Ream, Leauder Gerrard aud A. H. Connor. The committee reported the following PLATFORM. We, the republicans of the Third congressional district, hereby affirm onr loyalty to the cardinal principles of the republican party as enunciated through the national republican con vention that nominated Garfield and Arthur; Whereas, The republican party h s ever siuce its organization been fore most in adopting measures beneficial to the laboring and producing classes Resolved, That the question of trans portation is one of the most import ant problems now before the people for solution, and that the republican party of Nebraska should voice the sentiments of the people thereon in no uncertain sound; that all trans portation routes should be so con trolled by the state and general gov ernment as to prevent extortion, unjust charges and discrimination in any form or manner; that the action of the different railroad companies throughout the United States in con solidating and pooling otherwise competing lines and issuing free pass es to public officers is contrary to a sound puhlic policy, and should be prevented by proper legislation. Resolved, That we are in favor of reducing all railroad fares for travel in this slate to a minimum charge of three cents t er mile. Resolved, That we are in favor of abolishing the state board of eqnnli zition so that all the property or rail 1 oad, nod ' corporations shall be a-se'psed and taxed in the same man ner s the property n! Jpdividuals. Resolved, That we are heartily in iavor of the bill recently introduced in congress to compel land grant rail roads to take out patents on their lands, so that the same may be taxed, as lauds owned by individuals are taxed. Resolved, That we, the republicans of the Third congressional district of Nebraska, are in favor of a careful, honest and economic expenditure of public moneys in county, state and nation ; that we heartily endorse the action of President Arthur in vetoing the river and harbor appropriation bill recently passed by congress, whereby millions of dollars of the public monies were recklessly squan dered ; that we condemn the action of members of congress and senators who voted to pass said bill over the veto. Resolved, That we pledge the re publican party of the Third district to an earnest endeavor to carry out these resolutions. A. H. Connor. G. M. Cleveland. L Gerrard. Will Felber. I. D. Ream. A congressional district committee was appointed, consisting of twelve members. Hon. Leander Gerrard then nomi nated M. K. Turner of Platte as rep resentative in Congress. The nomi nation was seconded by several mem bers of the convention, and, ou motion of Gen. Connor was made by accla mation. Mr. Turner, being called for, re quested to hear the platform, and in a short speech endorsed its principles and accepted the nomination. After several earnest speeches by delegates and the transaction of some business pertaining to the campaign, the convention adjourned. CONVENTION NO. 2. The delegates who did not recog nise the authority of the Chairman and Secretary of the central commit tee met at the Opera House in Fre mont, Thursday, Sept. 7lb, and wore called to order by S. B. Colson, resi dent member of state central commit tee. Abbott of Hall was elected temporary chairman and C. L. Lamb and N. D. Jackson, secretaries. Clark son of Colfax, Reinsell of Merrick and Hopewell of Burt were appointed to proceeed to the post-office hall and request the convention there assem bled to come to their meeting. The following response was made : To the Gentlemen assembled at the Opera House: In response to yonr message, we have toaay that the regular republi can convention for the Third con gressional district of Nebraska is brgauized and in working order, hav ing been called together by the chair man of the ceutral committee. We are sorry that the gentlemen assem bled in the opera house have rebelled against the lawful authority of the chairman of the congressional cen tral committee and its secretary, and have refused to hand their credentials to the chairman of said committee, in order that their names might be en tered on the roll for temporary or ganization. We cannot but depre cate the hasty and unauthorized action of the body of men there assembled, who have been misled as to their duties as republicans, and have sece ded from the lawful control of the authorized officers of the party. Postoffice Hall, Fremont, Sept. 7. The regular republican convention of the Third congressional district, now in session, requests me to trans mit to your body the foregoing message. (Signed), W. F. Goodwill, Chairman. Committees on credentials, resolu tions and permanent organization were then appointed. The committee on resolutions reported the following PLATFORM. Resolved, By the republican con vention of the Third congressional district: First We reaffirm the fundamen tal principles of the republican party aud pledge fidelity to the organiza tion which has so long carried the ship of .tate through attacks by foes within and enemies without. Second That we pledge ourselves to ever protect the interests of the people as opposed to extortion or monopolies of whatever character. Third That we pledge ourselves to continue the soutid finacial policy which has ever characterized the management of the national finances by the republican party. Fourth That we pledge ourselves to use every honorable means to se cure a pure ballot and a fair count in every state in the union. Fifth That in the chief executive of the nation we have an official worthy of the confidence and support of the republican party. The nominations was then pro ceeded with, delegates present being authorized to cast the full vote of absent delegations. The result was Valentine 98, Hopewell 21, Crounse 3, Persinger 7, Taffe 9. Valeutine was declared nominated. The War. A recent reconnoisance made on the south and 'left bank of Sweetwater catial showed that the enemy were hard at work strengthening their position. Col. Hart narrowly escaped being captured. The news from Alexandria states that recent observations show there are seven distinct lines of defense be tween Arabi's front and Damanhour. The Egyptians keep a close watch all about the English camp. Numer ous Bedouin horsemen are prowling in the vicinity, rendering it unsafe to venture far out. The other night one of the Life Guards was killed. His body was recovered aud found muti lated. Arabi Pasha has an excellent position. He is in direct communi cation by rail with Ztgnzig and Sali hich, and water for his forces is brought up by rail and canal. His active cavalry succeed in masking his movements aud keeping thrm secret. The fire of the English infantry in the last engagement appears to have inflicted very slight damage upon the enemy. From Alexandria we learn tho Mon itonr was shelling the rebel Hues, be cause of the threatening demonstra tions made by the enemy from Madara. Judge Weavkr was nominated by the Republican convention held in the First congressional district on the 7th. Judge Weaver is held in the highest estimation as a man of ability and integrity. Just such a man as the people want to manage and conduct their public and official busiuess. No doubt i entertained of bis election. Will John W Eirlv ixpl-iin o the Republican ot (Joluiiihu-i ::t Platte county why it as that kiilm going upon 11 delegation from thi precinct to the county convention, pledged to support Turner for con gross and Ehi'Iv for state treasurer, he went to Fremont last week in answer to a telegram from Mi. Val entine, having a free railroad pass for Early and six, aud that while there, he and some portion of "the 'ix" worked agaiust the nomination 0 the aforesaid Turner, doing what he could to discourage the same, and to encourage the nomination of Mr, Valentine? And that since riding home on the samo free pass he has been berating the men that worked for Turner's nomination? The col umns of the Journal are open for remarks. This is not a personal mat ter that concerns us a particle, but some of the political friends of the aforesaid Turner in this county are desirous of knowing tho inward facts of the situation. The Valentine crowd at Fremont, as touching the authority of the chairman and secretary of the cen tral committee, claimed 1st, that the committee after having agreed upon the call, was dead; 2d, that all the members of the committee present should get together, have a meeting, aud decide upon a course of action ; and 3d, actually proceeded to call members together to act and did act without giving all members present notice. Ot course, if the committee, as such, was dead; each member of that commltte was dead also. If a portion of the number of the com mittee were alive enough to act (as they must assume to be the case be cause they did act) then the com mittee was itself alive, and its regularly constituted chairman and secretary were the proper author ities to proceed for arranging for temporary organization, aud when the Valentine delegations chose to disregard their authority they were stepping aside from party precedents. XiAND seekers now form a large pro portion of the daily arrivals in Ne braska, and they aro but the forerun ners of the great army that propose visiting this state the ensuiug three months. With a crop last year not excelled by any of the western states and a yield the present season nowhere surpassed, the disposition to explore this great country is widespread and promises to result iu a large immi gration within the next twelve months. Thousands of agriculturists in eastern and southern states desire to change their base of operation, and all eyes are turned in the direction of Nebraska, a state which offers induce ments beyond all others. Not 0110 ont of ten who visit Nebraska for the pur pose of spying out land will go back without determination to return, for the simple reason that cheaper or bet ter soil is nowhere to be obtained. Omaha Republican. Tub truth about the alleged con spiracy of the negroes of Choctaw county, Alabama, to murder all the whites in the county, and for alleged complicity in which Jack Turner was hung, has just come to light. The conspiracy was a pure invention. Jack Turner was a peaceable, indus trious black man, and possessed of some property. His real offence was appearing in the United Stales courts against a brute in Choctaw county who had whipped two of his black employes for refusing to vote the democratic ticket. Choctaw county is in the "black belt," and joins Sum ter county, Alabama, which joins Kemper county, Mississippi, the scene of the Chisbolm murder. The hang ing of Turner adds another to the black catalogue of political murders which have made Alabama and Mis sissippi infamous. Omaha Rep. Here is what a democratic ob server, the candid and able editor of the Fremont Herald, Mr. N. W. Smails, has to say of the Valentine convention at Fremont: "They ought to publish those 'speeches' with the proceedings of the Opera House convention! Wc repeat now what we said in a dispatch to the Omaha Herald (which its editor suppressed for unaccountable reasons) that some of those speeches would have l.een a disgrace to a bawdy house aud we will name particularly those of Geo. H. Roberts and Olarkson, of Colfax. Every gentleman and every man of refinement in the hall was ashamed of it. And yet they were cheered to the echo. Dare they publish those speeches?' George Whitmorf. met with a ead accident the other day near Pawnee City, while engaged in oiling a threshing machine, his right hand caught between two cog wheels on the end of the cylinder, crushing it almost to the wrist. It was a ten horse power machine, aud the catch ing of the hand brought It to a sud den stop. His hand bad to be taken off near the wrist. A fight was reported in progress on the 9th, and that the Egyptians had been repulsed, but the Action etill con tinued all along the front, a distance of three miles. The wounded are being brought in, but the total casual ties are not yet known, and the Brit ish Iors is roughly estimated at 1,000 killed and wounded. Many shell fell within the British camp before the enemy were repulsed. Frkdfrick Douglass after the death of his wife wrote to a friend : "The main pillar in my house has fal leu. Four and forty years have passed away since our union. Life cannot hold much for me, now that she has gone. Still I feel that the les son taught by this death, as by all such, is silence, resignation, humility and hope. We are all stranger and sojourners." A HEi'ORT comes trom the Crow agency, Montana, of a recent date which denies the report that the Crows have been depredating. The report says they were never more peaceable than now. They are well fed and clothed and have no cause of complaint, and believes the next j generation will take to farming. . "- .. . .Mil The Democrat s..;enis to think that one of its par-y tunrtion ' dern ci'ition of ils ojip men Is, whether or no. As for instariC': in commenting upon the recent republican Platte county convention, it says suits wore a silly platform, "the re a weal ticket and a credit to no one." It would seem to be more in accorr with the dictates of common sense ind common honesty to show where in the platform is silly, just how the ticket is a weak one, and why there U no credit to any one. The Dem ocrat uses a blunderbu.ss, aud fires at blank space. We learn from Panama that the damage done by tho earthquake turn out greater than was at first thought. The cathedral aud many of the lar gest building were badly injured. The loss in the city is estimated at several hundred thousand dollars. Several lives wero lost. There is no communication with Aspiuwall either by rail or telegram. p n O VI AW A'MO.V Whereas a joint resolution was adopt ed ty the Legislature of Nebraska at the sixteenth session thereof, and approved February 2fi, 18SI, proposini; an amend ment to section one (1). article seven ( T), nf the Constitution of said State, and that said section as amended liall read 11 s fol lows, to-uit: "Skc. 1.
