It was only a quarter of an hou later than the advertised time who : J. Sterling Morton ancendcd the plat term and called the convention to ot dor. Considerable diflicultv WDB experi cnccd in finding a man to serve n chairman , HO much so indeed that Mr Morton was tempted to request then to embnico the opportunity for get ling an office as they didn't often havi a chance. Jacob II. Ballory , of Oass was nominated and declined witl thanks. Mr. Crawford won tendered tin chair , but thought ho didn't want t < iresido. Mr. llalcomh , of Polk , do clined.

While the committee WHH absent , \IcDonngh \ , of the Watchman , ruiacd lia elurion voice and said that some upublicimu wanted to hear John I. tadick. That gcsitl oinan appeared in answer o -calls , and said no thought the upublicans inL'ht have eonie curiosity o hear him , coiiHidering ho had como 0 lately from their ranks. For six- eon ye irs he had been a republican , nit had lelt thu party a year ago. If 7od forgave him for having belonged 1 that party ho hud a sure thing on 10 hereafter when ho died. That vns the only thing ever slid -'niiist , him. Ho thought the brains t the btato , with its handsome men irown in , wore gathered about him , ud sovural in , thu audience seemed to link so too. Ho advised that tlivy ontinuo to stick to their principle nd the other party would soon bo < onio so weak Unit the people would oinand that thu democrats come orward. Every move of the rapub- cans was to keep themselves in > owcr. The party was being central- zed at Washington instead of among lie people. It had become. the fathoi f national banks , railroads and moti- polios. They passed laws the puo < ilo did not nant and put judgus on lie bench * o enforce them.

Mr. llediek then allowed his houghts to stray back to the Chicugc convention and finally bo grappled hie own. case and proved cunclvaiuolj that ho had always been a democrat. J.

Cuming , Ferguson , August Hall , Daniel Gantt and P. "Wl lituhcock , so thai in the halls of tin tatu capital their good deeds and scr ices to the state may bo remembered , This was taken in in Hections and discussed. Mr. Kittlo objected tc ho free trade feature as not express ng precisely what it meant. Ho fa ored a tariff for revenue , but not i uflicient tariff to crcato an embargo , Mr. Morton said the idea was to dc away with a' protective tariff whicl iOok the money from the many am ; ave it to the few. Mr. Doano confessed to somewha adical views on the subject of frei rade. Ho favored absolute frai radu heart and soul. The fine spin listinction as to kinds of protcctioi lad defeated the party. The demoo racy had always favored free trade. Mr. Calhoun , of Lancaster , opposec .ho entire repeal of the Slocumb law localise it would do away with run loles. Ho offered a ruaolntion ti that etfect merely. Mr. Connor expressed the aanu viowp. The resolution was lost , afto which the resolutions were adopted ai iresontcd. Mr. Doano then arose and present ed the following resolutions. Kesolvcd , That keeping in mint .he teachings of the fathers atu Sunders of the democratic party un dec which all its glorious vie tones ii iho past have been won , wo hereb ; ro.imrm a timo-honorcd principle o democracy that the protection of tin rights of the puoplo should be , and ia Lhu first and paramount duty of a republican publican government. I. That the arrpgitnt clnims of tin railroad inonopoliua of the exclusiv right to regulate the trnnsportatioi interests and business of that country is a cause for serious alarm , and i submitted to will result in unking th producers of our vast western domaii nicro hewers of wood nnd dmwora o \Mi'er for these exact ing masters. H. That it is the right and duty o the.lmv making power to provide b ; proper li'g'nlatiou for the regulation o the rates of transportation over th highway * which have boon built b ; thu aid of the peoplo'a treasure an < by governmental agencies nni for the protection of all whether ricl or poor , powerful or weak , againe discriminations , whereby one localit ; or individual is built up at thooxponsi of another. Mr. Doano said the democracy ha always boon A party of the people. I waa time it got back to first princi plus. They were in a hopeless mi nority in this atita. Why ? Bcciusi there waa an uncertain sound to tin platforms and organs , ho would nay , ut torinti false principles. Ho wanted th party placed right hero in Nebraska J. Sterling Morton took the oppo site shoot and advised that ns friend and Ooniumtsthoy considered thought fully what they were about to dc They were going back on the fro trudo plank in the resolution just cai riod to do just the opposite. Hate between Nebraska and Now York ha decreased steadily year by year. I ten years the rate between Chicag and New York had decreased GO po cunt. 'Otvnoni of railroad kno\ as muQh about managing their ail'uii as did thu farme tliuira. The rail roads in thia etato did not chaigo on toitioiiatu rates , The hajipy home which now appear on the former tree Ifm pmirio were duo to the rallroade The proof that railroad r.ites wer reasonable was evidenced by the on hauccd value of nroporty. ' Mr. Kitten at this point arose an Rlirddini ; his oveiooat made an ad drcws in which ho udviu'd tompr.it' ' consideintion but favored the prii ciplcs involved iu Judge Douno rua lutions. Mr. Wiggins nrono nt thin point .in slated n few facts in regard to tl Donne law. Ho said this law dro\ trade out of the ntato , Wheat froi the republican vatloy was shipped inl Kaunas on account of thin law nn nold lower than it could bo hero , H knew of cases where jmrties wcro con polled to send to St. .Too for goodi becuusa Iho railroads in this slat could inako no special lawn. Mr. Coiinor , of Cm , took the Bam grounds in regard to special rates. Judge Donno said ho had bee chairman of tlio committee which re ported thcDoano , law and in much th s.imo way' that Arthur bccamo pro HI dent ho hnd become father of the bill Still ho was willing to bear the re Bponsibility. But they wcro not dia cussing the Doano law which hnd n application there. Whnt was the fact What wo o thny driving nt ? It VA the assumption of the growing mil road monopoly to control the trans portation interest of the country in dupandont of legislatures. .They wen the power * behind the throne , grcate ; oveu than thu throne itself. Whoi the vratcr waya closed up went tin rates , because thuic waa DO compoti tion. Their iiucstion was always how much it would bear. IIo\v mud could they chnrgo the farmer st that it would pay him just a littlu better to ship thin to use lii- corn for fuel ? Judge Doano then ro-read the reno- lutions , | iatngr.iph ut a time , com menting as he went along. lie said they Were truths the democrats were not afraid to pronounce. It should not bo , DH Tlio Om.iha Herald had said , to nllow the railroads to do .as they saw fit. "Tho Omaha Ileruld never paid anything of the sort , " said Dr. Miller , hotly interrupting at this point. "Well , probably not in that pre cise language , " said Judge Douno , "but that w. s your idea. " "Tho Uerald novur said any such thing , reiterated the doctor , while the chairman nipped loudly with his gavel , nnd told the doctor he could have n chance when the judge got through. The jud o continued that nu as sumption of power didn't go back ward. In reply to tlm gentleman from the Rupubliuaii Valley ho said that no law could bo constructed BO its plouso everybody. The criminal lawd wcro good in their way , but many i' - caped. Now and then , though , somebody an hit on the head. All \risdoin didn't dwell in one IcBtslu- turo nnd the law could bo repealed. Furthermore , nil wisdom didn't dwell in one man. "Thank God for that/1 said Dr. Miller , in an audible tone. J. Sterling Morton attempted to reply. Ho closed by moving that the matter bo laid upon the tablo. He afterward qualified this to a lejcction of the rcsolutioi's. Then fol lowed a sort of running argu ment nn the subject of monopolies , during which Dr. Miller leaned forward and whispered some thing to Mr. Morton. That gentle man nt once nroso and pressed his motion 'to Iny on the table. Being put to a vote , the resolutions were tabled by a vote of C3 to 17. Nominations fur supreme judge were then opened. JndtjH Doano.nfen- tioned the name of Chas. U. Rcdick. The others mentioned were Win. H. Munger , of Fremont ; M. A. Harti- gan , of C\ss ; J" . H. Broady , of Ne- liamn ; Jii&go J. F.

The following WOT the vote on the informal ballot : Munger , 78 ; Redick , 22 ; Hartigan , 1C ; Craw ford , 31 , and Platte , 20 ; total , 167. The names of Rcdick and Hartignn wore withdrawn.

COMPLICATED PROCESS Some Sciontiflo Points on R aorvoir Building. A Tedious Job the Water Cert paiiy Has on Hand And Expect * , With Oood Luck , t Complete in December. The process of building a utorag reservoir is ft most interesting one , th labor on which in sc.ircely appreciate by tlio general public. In a chat wit ! Ohiof Engmoor Davw , of the wato works , that gentlomnn described th [ irocesH of coimtruciioii in detail. Th settling reservoir of the company i situated at the head of Cuining street | unt within the city limits , It ia a in elevation on a level with the open ing for a clock in thi high school tower and con Hcquontly all the pressure necesnary t < nupply the city will bo supplied In gravitation. The reitorroir consists i > two bnsitiH , rectangular in nhiipo witl the corners Mightly rounded. Them baaiim adjoin euch othur and arc sepa ratcly only by n bank of earth. The bottom of each Insiu measure * 1'JGby ICSfoet. The tops inside 2X ( by 200 feet , and each will be , whor completed , 24 feet in depth. The proccas of construction is quite ulnborato. The spot for placing the reservoir having lira ) been selected , the atrip oi ground wascarefully laid and the sur < face containing any vegetable mattci removed. This brought them down to Iho pure clay. By the aid of thu icrupura drawn by horaca this dirt won removed outside the line of the pro posed basins and placed upon thu iiinbnnkmunt. The clay inside the Imu waa then thoroughly jprinlclecl with water and layers ot' lift spread over to the depth of about six inches. Alter this a heavy roller tveighing uboutll,000 , pounds was run ) < rer the newly laid floil rendering it hard and compact. In this w.iy the iidcs were built. Firht sprinkled , , hon a thin layer of earth , ind then a careful rolling ; o milder it compact and thisprocesah repeated over and over again until the jmbunkniorit has reached the \uopor iei ht. It is almost boycmtl bsliof low hard the earth becomes after be ing Hprinklod and rolled. A nail can DO" driven into it like a board , and it s almost as hard to get it out again. The slopes of the sank on the inside are one and a half ; eet horizontal to one foot vertical. \fter the outside has been given the proper slope the eaith originally re- iioved from the aito of the reservoir 3 taken back and placed on the out- lido filopcs. The whole is then sodded ind made permanent as well as im pervious to the action of the weather. After the banks are brought up to ; rade the inside slope and the bottoms ) f the basins are brought to their ; rue condition by the careful removal ) f the surplus earth. Thou the pro- seas of puddling is begun This consists of sprinkling clay with > sufticiunt qu mtity of water to tem per it , when it is thoroughly mixed tip , and all the lumps removed , mak ing it a perfectly homogeneous mass in the form of paste. The bottoms md sides of the basiiiH are then : overcd to the depth of twelve inches with this "puddle. " After this the bottom receives a six inch It-posit of broken hard lime- itonc. These broken stones are all tamptd and rolled into the puddle , making an almost solid and viry firm bottom practically impervious 40 the action of water. The inside slopes of the basins , af ter being "puddled , " are paved with bi ick laid on edge HO as to break the joint vutli a horizontal luyer. Tlieao ure laid clear to the top of Lho bank. The spaces between the bi icks is tilled with fine sharp sand. The action of the sediment from the water on this sand soon renders the embankment perfectly water ti ht. The water luiving been pumped up from the river through a twenty-four inch mai n passes through the south cm- bunkmeut along the centre and the middle embankment to a valve well , from which are three lines of 20-inch pi DO leading directly into pach baein. Jiach of these liuoi of pipe is pro vided with a well with a. valro at tachment which regulates the How of water through it. With this arrangement the company is enabled to pump wattr into either or both the basum at the flame time , and at any elevation , the inlet pipes being placed at 8 , ID and 22 feet respectively below the top ol the well. Ono hundred and ton feet from the north side and in the contro ol the middle embankment ie placed the main well. From the bottom of this well lentb directly a twenty-inch into oicli ol the basins at its lowest point. The object of tlioeo pipes is to discharge the water from the b.isins when nee essary , and also to act as general drain ; through which the sediment viill pass when the basine are being cleaned out. Leading north from this well is a twenty-four- inch drain through which water passoi after being discharged into the well and by which the tluid is carried noy < oral hundred feet to the east where it is discharged into a ravine. A six-inch pipe is also laid into the inlet well to clean that out when nec essary. About 30,000 cubic yards of earth nro required in constructing the em < baukmonts ; G50 cubic yards of bro ken atone for thu bottoms and ( JflO.OOC brick.
