Work of tlio Convention. The Douglas county .republican con vention , which was held at the city coun cil chamber yesterday , was , in point of numbers , the largest of any local conven tion ever hold by the party in this city. While its make-up wns principally from the ranks of the professional ward poli ticians , it cannot be said that it was packed in any interest or absolutely con trolled by any faction. The council combine , as it is known , held the key to the position through Hechel , who , as chairman of the committee , was able to exert quite an influence in moulding the outcome. The call fixed the hour at 1 o'clock for the meeting , but It was a quar ter past a before IJcchel , who had evi dently held a private caucus with hs ! lieutenants , put in an appearance at the desk of the president of the council. Ho struck the gavel , culled the convention to order , and hid barely spoken ton words when Connell Interrupted him , evidently by agreement , and nominated Bechcl as temporary chairman , put the question and declared it carried before anybody could say Jack Hobinson. Bechel didn't appear sur prised in the least at this , but tersely asked , "Gentlemen , what will you have what's your pleasure ? " Then the hubbub began within and without the enclosure , and the swarm of candidates commenced a free distribu tion of printed slius and tickets for the gift enterprise drawing in which most were doomed to draw blanks while but the elect few carried oft' the prizes. Throughout the session , which lasted over eight hours , with a recess for sup per , the interest was unflagging and the excitement often intense1. Helow is given the proceedings of the convention in detail : Called to Orilor. The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock by William F. Hechel , chair man of the countv central committee , and on motion of W. J. Council , ho was elected temporary chairma.i. On motion of Judge HawcP , Miles llauck was elected secretary John Hush moved that a committee of seven on credentials bo appointed. T. W. Blackburn stated that there seemed to bo no contest in the delegations , and therefore time would be saved if the delegations handed their names in to the secretary. This was made as an amendment and it prevailed. The chair thun read the names of the delegates , lit ) in number , the names of the majority of whom appeared iu yes terday's Bm : . On motion of Mr. 'Blackburn , John C. Thompson , of the Seventh ward , was elected assistant secretary. After the delegates had been seated , John Hush moved that the temporary organisation bo made permanent. The motion prevailed. 1. S. llascall moved that nine delegates from the city and three from the county be appointed to select the delegates to the state republican convention. Tliis was opposed by Judge Brown , who hold that the project was tinropub > liean. He moved to amend that the delegates from each ward name two. and South Omaha two , each county pre cinct one , and the deficiency , which amounts to one , bo appointed at langc , to make the nomination. O. H. Hothacker moved tbat nomina tions bo miufo by three men from each ward and live from the county precincts , which would leave no discrepancy. Upon a motion presented by Judge Hawos the matter was laid on the table until the close of the nominations. Mr. Webster , of lliu 1-ourth ward , in troduced the following resolution , wnscu WAS adopted : > Vhoreus.

Cadet Taylor said that the motion nominating Mr. Coburn was an honor desired by the representatives of Mr Coburn's own ward , whereupon Mr , Marrow withdsow the motion. Mr. llutliold thereupon put Mr. Co burn's name before the convention. .Mr. Marrow recommended the nomi nation and moved that it bo made bj acclamation. The motion prevailed. Mr. Coburn was then called and said that ho desired to give expression to the feeling of thankfulness for the kindnos- which the convention had extended u him in ronominating him for one of tin county ollices. During the present tern ho had tried as far as his ability wouli enable him , to do his duty , am if elected , as ho expected to bi and would bo , ho would no only to do his diitr as ho hud In the past but also give his hearty support to tlii entire ticket. Mr. Coburn's remarks were greetet with ciiecrs.

Mr. Van Uorn nominated 1) ) . C. Mercer. J. H. Webster , of the Fourth ward. nominated Moses } . ' . O'Brien , u splendid specimen of the young Irish-American , who Inherited all the sterling qualities of his deceased father' ; a staunch republican of strength and intelligence at the bar , who would also bring u strength to the ticket , which It would' bo well to con sider. Fred W. Gray seconded the nomina tion and said that Mr. O'Brien's ' nomina tion would give a sweeping Impetus to the ticket which would insure its election. O. H. Hotlmckor said Lee Helsloy was a man who was lit for the ollico , tt staunch republican and n young man who was worthy of the position. The nominations wore then closed. The chair appointed ns tellers A. J. Iloben and H. T. Lcavltt. James Allan moved the first ballot bo informal. T. M. Blackburn moved to amend that all the ballots bo formal. The motion prevailed. The same delegate moved that the name of each ward and precinct repre sented in the convention no called and as it was named that each delegation de posit its vote. The motion prevailed. Thu first ballot resulted as follows : O'Brien . 11 JleWey . 17 McCulloch . : Meicor . -14 Total . W There wore 111) ) delegates present. A majority of the votes cast , huving been for no candidates , another ballot was ordered and resulted in 113 votes , three more than the number of delegates in the convention. On motion of O. II Hothacker , the ballot was declared informal. William Marrow moralised and hoped hat such an error , which showed a rep- ohousiblc disposition , would not again occur. Cadet Taylor said he thought the mac- curaco was the result of an accident , r. ouplo of votes having dropped in the lat while somebody attracted his atten tion. tion.D , II. Mercer said if he received the lominaliou ho wanted lo get it honoslly and above suspicion. In behalf of Judge McCullooh , Mr. Me- ntosli said that that gentleman would not think of accept a nomination which lid not in an honorable and equitable manner. The third ballot contained only 107 ballots , which were distributed as fol' 'ows : lulsluy . 1 McCtillocli . 4S Mercer . C8 Tlio last mentioned having received more than a majority was declared the nominee of the convenlion. Mtke Lcahoy moved that his nomina- Ion bo made unanimous. Judge Hawcs followed with a similar notion and the subject prevailed. Mr. Mercer , in rosponsc to calls , made lis appeal ance and remarked that when ic was in his youthful yours lie was trilled at the feel of a democratic father who , although of. that political taitli , was still a loyal soldier iwho had tramped with Hilly Sherman to the sea. He is still u democrat. When I wont to the state university I used my mind to earn those thiims'whiuh ' 1 could not be fore appreciate concerning the history of my country , and at the age of nineteen years 1 was stumping Lancaster county. Ever binco 1 have been a republican , and the proudest moment of my life was when 1 cast my first presidential vote for James A. Garfibld. I feel proud of the honor you have conferred upon me , especially in view of the men with whom I have had to contend. There is J.H ftlcCulloch , who : in done horor to hit position ; there is : ilso Moses O'Urion , : young man of a nationality which I have always admired ; also Leo Ilelsley , who would do credit to the position : to all these , it either of them had been nominated , I would have extended my right hand and gone to work for his election. 1 bhall work heartily now , not alone for myself , but also the rest of the ticket. Judge McCulloch was called and made mosl careful and sensible address , lie said lhal il was meet that ho should come bcforo Iho convenlion having but lately engaged in it in a spirit of contenlion to the close , to receive its endorsement. lie appeared as one who had cast his lot with others , and though he had not been rewarded with the nomination , he would do his utmost to help elect tlie man who hud been ntmumUed tot h.n position which [ ti'ic SndgeJ now held. HG had known nolluug except republicanism , nnd he did not feel that because he had not been nominated that ho had deemed worthy of condemnation. When he stopped down from Ins position in January ho hoped it would be with the feeling that the convention had ex pressed to him in permitting him to ap pear before them. CLKHK5 Ol1 TUB PISTltlCT COUUT. John Hush nominated Frank Moores , as a man whom ho had known for eigh teen yeai'fl.a man who had novcr switched into a byitrack or a by-bsue , who was not a crunk and who steadfastly , earn- cslly and faithfully .supported every re publican lickel from president to consta ble a man , too , whoso poekot was open to every campaign. Indeed , there was not in O'maha a gentleman who , accord ing to his moans , contributed so liberally as Frank K.

Hntoro a vote was taken Mr. Whitmorc , of Valley , who , notwithstanding that nominating speeches had boon tabooed , rose to a uuostion of privilege and was granted the lloor. Ho saul that his pre cinct had had a candidate whom the del egates had decided nnon supporting and that his name was Thomas , and further , that within the last live niiniiros Thomas , for reasons bolter known to the laUcr than to the speaker , had unexpectedly withdrawn , notwithstanding that tickets with Ins name had been printed and cir culated.'Ho was not in favor of any kind of .skulduggery and his associates had de cided upon pre-onling another name , that of O. L Woolcott , of Elkhorn. Ho therefore asked that Thomas' tiokots bo permitted to count for Wooleott , in view of the diiliculty under which the speaker and his associates suddenly found thorn- solves laboring.

Another ballot was called for. for.It It was then announced that McArdlo had withdrawn in favor of Savage , of South Omaha. Walsh then took the lloor and said that it Savage were nominated it meant the slaughtering of Coburn. ( .This remark was based upon a deal which is known to have been arranged by which Boyd , superintendent of the stockyards and democrat candidate tor .shortu" might , in the event of Savage's nomination , tratlo votus with tlio Jnt- tor in return for republican votes vhom ho might give to Boyd , thus dc- > rmng Coburn of votes which ho would ) thorwisc receive. ] The second ballot discovered a vote vhich was marked for three votes.

Ho ( Savage ) did not know how lis candidacy could interfere with Mr. Joburn in any way , shape or manner. f he could bo told liow it could injure Joburn in any way , shape or manner , he would perhaps have something to say iu he matter. Mi' . Vv'alsli then said that Colonel Sav- ige was living in disputed territory and nrthcr that ho heard that Savage's can- lidacy was in the interest ot a democrat. Colonel Savage replied that such was lot the case. It had further been charged that ho was a democrat and the > ostmastor at South Omaha.

Has- jail introduced a resolution as follows : That U is the sunso ot this coiupntion that JwK'tisVakely , llnpewull and ( JrolT lie sup ported tor judges in this judicial distilct : t the coming election. Judge Ilawcs opposed the resolution because it forestalled the delegates to the convention. Ho did not believe in sending v delegate to the convention and then han- .licapping them with instructions. There wore young luwyurs , intelligent , active and ambitions who wore capable of mak ing just as good lawyers us Judges Hope- wall and ( SrolV. Itastruo that batons tluiy had supported Jndiro Wakoly but that was when the democrats supported Judgn Js'ovillo. Mr. Council favored the resolution. It rollectod the sentiments ot the bar of tno district , and also the soiiti'mont of the ppople of the district as well. With regard to Judge Wuktduy , ho came before the convention not o a democrat , but as a non-partisan. He was generally admitted to bo ths Nester , not alone of Us city , but also of tiio stato. It was no reflection to the legal minds of the state to say ho was perhaps the brightest among them all , and that ho was without a poor , certainly in the stato. Judges ( JrolVand Hopewnll wore republicans and all udmitlod that they hud made a record in so fur as they had been able to make one. because it WHH true as had boon said , that they hud not been on the bench long. Ho favored thn takini : the judiciary out of the whirlpool of politic. " , ami the plans proposed would do that Riid at the same time leave the fourth place free to other uttonioys , es pecially from other parts of the district. Mr. Unit , of the Ninth ward , opposed the plan and Judge Brown thought that the introduction of the resolution \\us somewhat inexpedient at this conven- Mr Haseall Hum made a strong si > eech in support of the re-olution. Upon a suggestion from .loo Hodman , Mr. lias- call called for a division of the question and the taking of the vote upon Judge Wukoloy alone. Pending this disposition of the re = olu tlon a motion to table was made and cur ried. 1IKI.KOATKS. udge llawes then moved each ward and South Omaha be empowered tonam two delegates and two alternates , each county precinct one doloirato and emi alternate , with one at large to be nomi noted by the convention , as delegates ta the republican state convention.

Samuel Maxwell as justlca ot the supreme court of the stnto and use all honorable mi'.ins to ull'oct his election. The resolution was tabled. On motion of Judge llawes the game method of selected delegates to the judi cial convention as that employed iu the case of the state convention was adopted.
