TJJward P. lloggon , the republican

If ho ia to bo disciplined for oppoting

The republican ttato convention hna
cotno and gone , and thoco who have
read the routine report of the pro
ceedings am still in the dark aa to
some of the exciting incidents and
deep down ( scheming that took place
during the two eventful days uf itu
session.
These who are not veracd in the
mynterioB ol convention packing are
still Mrondccinc why the opera house
was engaged for a troupe on the night
when , the convention was to luvu
been hulclin it , but those who were in
Lincoln sir yfl.ira | jn , whan .1. 0. Cow-
in watt beaten for congress , remember a
trick or two played by the railroad
gauy , who hold the convention four
days bocautu they needed the nighta
for Ing-rolling , button-holing and fix
ing the dolegates.
On Y/udnosday night when the convention -
vontion tint , ovurjthine ; wtia clisoa ,
as THE BKB reported , uid no combi
nation or slnto WIIH vheu pnwiblii
But on Thursday niorniiij ; thti worn-
out pruiiguni , who looked , like they
lutil been pulled through knot-holuti ,
were mellowed down into a tmnafer-
nbln condition. Thn thunblo-rixgors
of the 15. & M. and U. P. had otyan-
JEod a pool and mapped out the work
tor thadifferent atrikcta and hunch-
men. To make BUCCCZI certain many
iKimiisea had to bo made that were
bound to bo broken and the candi
date who wcro to be left out had to
ho duped , up to the last moment , so
that there should bo no kick.
Before the bolls rang for the race
for governor to begin , Dorsey , Alex
ander Dtnamore and Clark , were all
confident they could hold their forces
against Diwes and wear him out after
u > few ballotp. "My intm are stayers
and don't you furnnt it ! " oiid Alex
ander. " 1 bplifvo : I can hold all my
support , " mid Djraey , ' 'but Thuratou
and the U. P. have pone back on
mo and I expect to win on uiy own
hook. "
The break came from the B , & M.
nido of the pool , whoii Copt. Phillips ,
the B. & 31. totvnnite nviu , announced
Lancaster solid for Dawes and 2,000
majority ; The other B. & M. ahucp
followed over the fence in a hurry and
the follows on the Union Pacific line
broke last and made it unanimous.
Although the roilrovl managers had
agreed to couibino us against any r.uti-
monojjoliat , there was deep down a
sohemo on foot in thu U. P. camp to
have Drives , Porsoy and Aloxauder
beat their brains out against each
othnrjtnd upring u now man who wan
a goofl.doal moro on the inside with
the U. jP. than the B. & M. Thura-
tou nud Hcecall purposely scattered
the ODquglun county vote to Chase ,
Hall and Clark , with the design of
tuskinf ; the break at the right mo
ment , But the B & M. crew were
too ouarp , and thyy were out-
thnkod. DJIWOS was tiominatod
long bi/oro Djughs county oould
change her voto. A confidante of
Hr.BixH's , who was very indignant be-
cauao Pouglai coanty was loft out on
governor , let the cat out of the bat'
about Thurston'a deep down plot to
name a governor of his own.
A aorious break in the machine
stale pcourrod in the fight over the
lieutenant governor. Thu U. P. cap
tains hid vl dHad bolh ' .C Cuuicn
Howe and Moreo. But Church llowo
ws to bo thj winning man ,
as they WflOVed that 25,000 innjority
was margin enough even for Church
luwo , But a dark horse by the name
f Ageo jumped from under the cover
and cariiod oft" thu HUta'pUakes.
Jlitirch Ilowo waa shearing mad and
iluraa was decidedly indignant over
ho troacliory of Thuretrm & Co. , who
md led him into an umbutcado to bo
ilaughlcrod.
The Lancaster troop scored another
brilliant victory by c.Mryiug llus-gen
through , over Vftl'n preferred candi
date , C.ipt. Butler. These little con
flicts within the railroad pool got up o
ooddoalofbadbloodandnhenthouoon
ccoas oarao on Thursday a truce was
called by the bossea and an order waa
jl ven that no more cross-tiring wai to
Uo allotted.
The convention re-assembled at
2:30 : and the bugle Bounded for the
< lit over the Btato treaaury. In this
tight all the energy of the U. P. striken
and bulUlccera was concentrated upon
Loran Clark. There wrro also on hand
the moat notorious legislative jobber *
and money sharks. They all wanted
u hand in the etato treasury and no
body could bo used well as Loran
Clark. Way in the back-grounc
were aliu the confidential
men of the great political bank thai
wants to tend Jo , Millard to the U ,
8. senate , At the outset there wen
half a dcaan competitors in this contes
but it narrowed down toward the cm
toV. . B. Whitt' , o ! Burt cjunty , an'
Loran Clark. By that time the ex
citouu'iit lira * inteneii. 1.e hoiui
had neon packed by a U. P. and Na
tioual bank lobby , who scamped thei
feet , yelled and shouted so that then
was a perfect pandemonium.
During the morninu balloting , thi
regular secretary , Michael , callei
back urery volu and the count wa
k pt pretty straight , but in tin
afternoon the con pirator , who wen
bound to foist the monopoly tool
upon the party , had Brad Slaughte
put in as teller , Brad has achieved i
good deal of reputation as a falaiGci
of roords and ballots and was fit foi
the work ho was called upon to per
form. Wl'on the chances from Tom
lln , Fisher and 0. 0. WJiite were or
dorod to W. B. White , of Burt , and
i became evident thar White had the
nomination , the Loran OUrk crowd
became perfectly furious. They stamp
ed , hooted , ytlled nnd hissed ,

cotisunmi.utd. In epito of protest
OUrk was declared duly nominated
No decent or honest m.m would ac
ccpt a nomination obtained through
suchshamefultrickerr. Those who w * re
present during this exciting scramble
sny it waa the most disgraceful thing
that ever took placj at any political
convention in Nebraska.
The struggle over the oflico of attor
ney general was a repetition of the
same tactics. There isn't the shadow
of n doubt in the mind of any un
biased person that FrAiik Hansom was
nominated , but Griggs without an
nouncing the vote and while the
chaugen were still going on , declarer !
Isaic Powers nominated , and the
crowd of bull-dozers whooped and
yelled , without giving a charicu oven
to uncertain the result of the ballot.
By this time it was dusk. A re
quest from Mr. Box d was rosd that
the operahouao bo vacated at once
for the evening perform tnce. A
largo number of delegates , mixioun to
got home , had alnudy Ittt their
ueatii.
Auiidul the general disorder of the
jamming nnd pushing crowd , the nee-
retary was aktd to read the resolu
tions , which had been concoclud by
Church Howe , C.vspor Yost , Charles
Gere and four or five other railroad
henchmen. The restlutions wcru
read in haste and voted throughunder
whip and spur.
Thu tail end of the resolutions in
cluded an endorsement ot Weaver and
Valentine , which were tacked on as a
pjrt of thu platfoun in spite of a live
ly protest from delegates whoso voices
were drowned by the jolla nnd ehoutf >
of the rowdies on the floor and in the
lobby.
The fraud and the farce concluded
by throwing a eop to Unisaybyap
pointing him chairman of tlio btate
central cammittee , thus compelling
him to organise victory for the treach
erous crowd that had sold him out
This closed the so-crflied republican
Btato convention , which in reality wts
a rnob composed in great part of rail
road attorneys , and hired bulldozers
for whom proxies had been bought
from delegates who couldn't afford to
go. This was literally trub oven o {
the Djuglas county delegation where
Thurston , Yost , Charlie G e n and
aaveral others held proxies. E R.
