LONDON , September 2 4 p. m.
German military officers severely crit-
ici a the conduct of the English campaign
j
paign in Afghanistan , noting particu 1
larly the utter ab cnco of any inter ;
communication between Roberta and
Phayre , showing the very loose
and defective organization of Hioir
scouting system. Hessian officera are
unable to discover the merit of Gen.
Roberts' march of three hundred and
sixty miles in fifteen and a half days ,
notwithstanding all impediments of
the camp and the rugged nature of
the country.

AYOOB'S ANTICS.
rs Special Diapatch to The I ) e.
LOKDOV , September 2 , 10 p. m
A telegram from the viceroy this
morning confirm * yesterday's Afghan
news given in detailinthese dispatches.
Gen. Roberts thinks Ayoob Khan will
attempt to make a retreat in a north
ward direction into Khagrah , over ttie
ford already referred to , in case he
fears immediate attack. His camp on
the Orjandal is reported by mtivo
spies to be thoroughly intrenched , and
a position capable of being well de
fended in cue the Afghan leader is ,
ready to test hi i ability to repulse an
assault by the British. It is assumed j
that he will seek to avoid a pitched
battle. On the other hand , well in t
formed persons here affirm that Ayoob
is not nearly so cooped up aa repre- j
aented , and give as reasons for this !
opinion , first , that Ayoob's forces !
hare had constant accessions
ever since his retirement from before
Gandahar ; second , that neither Gen
ends Roberts nor Pbayre are in a con
dition to offer battle until their troops
recover from the effects of a long and
exhausting march , and third , that
Ayoob has no reason to apprehend interference - '
terference from the ameer , because
the evacuation of Cabul by Gen. Stew
art has left Abdur Rahman wholly
without British backing in the midst
of a disaffected population. The
story that Ayoob wrote apologetic let-
ten to Gen. Roberts , saying that ho
wu forced to tight by his followers ,
* " and expressing his regret for having
invaded the Oandahar district , is re
pented by the viceroy. General Rob
erts is said to have replied that Ayoob
must give up his prisoners and sub
mit unconditionally. Persons who
hare made a study of the typography
of the country which is nowr.ho thea
tre of operations siy thnt Ayoob's re
treat was wisely planned ard timed ,
aud that he cannot be attacked except
in a position o ? his o vn choosing ,
vhich position il pr iSably be the
ragged barrier opposite Atta Kareiz ,
a strategic point not equalled in Af
ghanistan , for purposes of defense.
Meanwhile the British forces must
risk winter in short supplies or retreat
in the direction of Quettah.

well there. The ameer is assiduous
in personally conducting public busi

John reports that Ayoob Khan's force
consists of 4,000 regulars , one-third
of whom have firearms , 2,000 cavalry
and twenty-eight guns.

The Convention.
Correspondence of the Bee.
LINCOLN , Neb. , September 2.
At 2 o'clock every ticket for seats
at the convention was exhausted , and
at 3 the opera house from pit to gal
lery was crowded with the largest
throng that ever met at a Nebraska
state convention.
THE MEN.
It cannot bo questioned that the
convention represents throughout
great ability , snap and go-ahead.
Eastern men wonder how a state ao
new SB Nebraska has such a body of
representative men , as it requires
time , experience and culture to pro
duce leaders. Tha secret is that the
settlers of a young state are nyide up
of the active , enterprising men of
brains and daring , and they step pt
once to the front. Most of this pres
ent body are men in their prime.
There are a few gray heads , but gen
erally the old folks and the old fogies
have staid behind. Comparing this
assembly with the one that met in this
same place four years ago , it is much
larger , but presents pretty ranch the
same features
At 4 o'clock J. W. Djwea called
the convention to order.
Hon. Chaa. A. Holmes , of Johnson
county , waa chosen temporary chair
man.
man.The Garfield glee club , of Omaha ,
then sang "Red , White and Blue , "
under the waving of the Stars and
Stripes.
Arthur Gibson , of Dodge , and A. E.
Cady , of Colfax , were chosen secre
taries. Tne officers were afterward
made permanent.
The membership was fixed by direct
action on the report of the chairman
of the state central committee , saving
much time.
Nance county presented a double
header. Both delegations were ad
mitted finally , each to cast half the
vote.
vote.At
At 5 p. m. , immediately after the
convention was permanently organ
ized , a rwoluti'in was ii.truduced and
adopted thttt a committee of fifteen be
appointed on resolutions. At this
juncture a move was made that brought
out the temper of the conven-inn ai.d
f > rced a division among its elements.
Mr. Calkins , of Buffilo , moved an
adjournment to 9 a. m. Thursday. He
called attention to the fact that tl.u
chair WHS about to appoint a commit
tee to frame a platform fur the par y ,
and he though : the cummitteu ought
to have ample time for this work.
This resolution brought Mr. Hob
ertgon to i is feet , in njjositinn.
B insisted the cor.V ; nii.Mt rhoui !
proceeJ with its business as other C-.TI-
ventiups had done in past years. He
didn't believe any cmdid < ito nomina

on the platform.
Mr. Eller rted
supp Mr Calkin t
warmly. He tli 11 11 , it time o set a
precedent and adept the platform be

Mr. LairJ made a very forcible
speech in far .r of adjournment. He
cited his experience of ten jears ago ,
when he waa wrejtling over the plat
form with t u rag-tag and bob-tail of

why all this haste ; were the candidates
afraid of the convention.
Mr. Post , of Platte , ably and fi.rci
bly argued in favor of adopting the
platform and placing candi 'atea upon
it. He thought it a disgrace to the
republicans of Nebraska that this was
the only state where men were exalted
above principles.
The previous question was ordered.
A great flutter and much excitement
was manifested -rniong the candidates
and the backers of the slate. It waa
evident that adjournment would
smash the slate. A vote by ci-nnnts
waa called and tha result was an
nounced aa 171 for the resolution aud
184 against it.
The state waa saved.
A motion waa then carried to ad
journ to 8 p. m.
The chair announced the following
committee on resolutions : E. h .
Brown , Lancaster ; Edward Whit-
comb , Saline ; E. E. Calkins , Buffalo ;

In the evening the opera house was
crowded to its utmost. Afttr the
Omaha Glee Club had entertained the
audience the convention proceeded at
once to nominations.
Thuraton , Collins and Laird were
nominated as presidential electors ,
Valentine as congressman , Thoa. Ma
jors as contingent congressman , and
the present state ticket by acclama
tion , until the name of Leidtke , au
ditor , was reached , when the follow
ing changes were made :
For Auditor John Wallicha , of
Hall county.
For Superintendent of Public In
struction W. W. Jones , of Lsncaa-
ter county.
For Commissioner of Public Lands
and Buildings A. G. Kendall , of
Howard county.
The convention then elected the
atato central committee , Jas. W.
Dawes being continued aa chairman.
At 2:30 : a. m. the convention took a
recess to 9.
During the evening the convention
was disturbed by a sort of bomb-shell.
BJcAlliato- Finite , moved to nomi
nate a United States Senator , backing
up his motion by sundry whereaaes.
On motion to lay on the table a call
of counties was aiked for , and the mo
tion was tabled by 95 votes against 77.
AN EPISODE.
Thursday morning while the con
vention was waiting for the committee
on resolutions , Mr. Clark , of Nance ,
was loudly called for , who cama for
ward and made a mock heroic speech
in imitation of several who presented
candidates to the convention. Clark
did the business to perfection and
nominated Jamei A. Garfield aa presi
dent of the Uni-ed Stitei. He brought
down the house in uproarous applause.
The committee on resolutions
brought in their report at 10 o'clock
a. m. The report contained a plat
form commendably brief , and a reso
lution of protest against railroad
abases.
As soon as they were offered , Judge
Thurston , in a few approving remarks ,
moved their acceptance and adoption ,
which motion , without remark or dis
cussion , prevailed.
At once a motion to adjonrn with
out a day waa made , and before you
could count ten the Nebraska republi
can atatu conventii n had vanished.
