The democracy hold a mild-mar

of Masonic hall last ovoning. Thor
was quite a largo and respectable at
tendauco present.
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. Mr. Birch , of Sarpy , w.ic
lominated , but couldn't bo found
and Amos Gates , of Sarpy , respectful
y declined Finally M. A. Iliirtigan
* f Can" , was induced to preside. On
assuming the cluiir ho said that aboul
all the honor in store for the democ
racy of Nebraska waa this. AriatotK
of old , day after day , taught a class ol
hrco persons. When nxkcd why In
lid so he said : "If the number if
mall I am talking to the biains ol

hey did not hope to Bccuru the loavcn

( ) ught for the principle.

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. They

government was that when ono parly
* as too lone ; in power it became cor
rupt. 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. Sterling Morton was called foi

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-

The following WOT the vote

The names of Rcdick and Hartignn
wore withdrawn.
On the formal ballot Munger re
ceived 100 votes nnd Crawford 08.

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. These latter are made by tin
company on the spot , whore tliej
