LI.NTOI.X , Neb. , Sept. 2'- ) [ Special Tele-
giamlo the Uiu.l The long continued two
clays' lobby , the gieatest gathering of ihe
kind ever lei mud befoic a state convention ,
came to a close at 7 o'clock to-night , the
hour appointed for the convention to assem
ble. Through the oiitito daj Iho woik went
on , unceasing lobbjing foi the favoi lies and
ever and anon the call fora county would be
heaid to uo Into caucus. Uuttho uncertainty
neverceased , and at the time of the conven-
tlon's assembling doubt hovered over the at-
mosplieio of tlio gathering and the pool that
could sweep the Held had been foi meet to the
knowledge of any one. During the clay the
Douglas county dolet-atlcin met to oicani/e ,
and an Illustrious lot ot pioxles bobbed up
and theiallioad ciovvd thought llmv had It.
Chailes . ) . ( Jiccn , a delegate by proxy ,
wanted to be ( .huh mini of the delegation and
was sit down upon. The same objections
that cleleated Creen defeated 'Ihurston ten
the place , and the delegation then selected
Dr. Mercei as its clialimin , who was accep.a-
bio to the anti-monopoly lepubllcans on
tl.o delegation , who did not want
their votes cast tin ough a inlhoad attotnej.
In the Lincaslercountj delegation an organ
ization was made bj selecting C. O. Whecdon
as chaliumn of the delegation , couliaij to
the plans ol the lluilingtou AMIssouil , who
weie in politics lor Captain Phillips lei that
position. Several othei plans of like callbie
weio Knocked in tlio head , but the iailio.ul
vyoio In politics all the day notwithstanding.
Unbof tiiQMtrprlscsof tliolobh } vv.us to find
, that Valley umnty had sent a delegaflon
against Auditor Habcock , and no little btee/e
was occasioned theicby foi a tlmo. Hut very
actlvo woik was al once inaugurated to iiuoll
the riot In the ranks.
The convention was called to orclci at 7SC :
o'clock , p. in. , by C. E. Yost , than man of the
state ccntial committee , and on motion ol
Hon. John M. Thurston , of Douglas , lion ,
James Laltd , of Hastings , was elected tem
porary chairman. Mr. Laird , on
taking the chair , thanked the convention foi
tlio honor of presiding for a shoit tlmo over
the republican party of Nebiaska. Mi.
Laird compared Iho luauguiatlon of the pies
ent democratic president with the first repub
llcan president. He was glad to say that the
lopubllcan patty vvub a law-abiding p.nty ,
The promises of the democratic party had
not been carried out. Its legislation was
against tlio soldlei and the common people ,
Its legislation was for the mlllloiialic.
Mr. Morse , of Merrlck , nominated Frank
11. Wilson , of Cass , ( i. W. Urewster , ol
Blalne , and Walt M. Seoley , ol Lancastu ,
for secretaries of the convention.
James Laird then said that In passing to n
pcimanentoigaiiUitlon ho desired to noml
unto for the position of chalimaii his col-
leaquc , Congressman A. .1. Wcavei. Mr
Weaver was elected unanimously.
On lakliiB the platform , Mi. Weaver said
that the domoctatlc party was In povvei and
happy , except lu Its matilmonlal connec
tions. 'Iho democratic paity , ho btated , vvat
the common enemy of Hits silver dollar. The
admlnistiatlon of the demociatlo partv was
a constant attempt to thiovv a cloud over the
silver dollar that was doing the business.
Mho democratic paity has madon iccoid in
vetoes. One bundled and ono old soldlcis
had be en vetoed out of that which they had
eai lied and paid for jearsugo. 'iho iepub-
llcan jiaity had fiiriilshed the sinews ot w at
on its Intci pertatlon of the constitution
aualnst bbito lights. The lepubllcan party
wasMroiiu'ertoday than over and It would
allow no democrat to lepiesent Nebiaska.
