Cleveland Has It.
The flrsl part of the programme at St.
Louis hns been carried out. Orovcr
Cleveland was yesterday ronomlnatod
by acclamation , with nil the acceswios
of demonstrative enthusiasm , as if the
convention had done some unexpected
thing of surpassing significance. It is
Fomcnvhat difllcult for most people to
bccomj ) greatly excited over the per
formance of n purely perfunctory task ,
but the democratic delegates at St.
Louis seem to hnvo had no trouble in
working themselves up into an ecstasy
of excitement over having done what
they were sent to do. Mr. Cleveland-
was placed in nomination by Mr. Dan
Dougherty , formerly known to fame as
the Philadelphia orntorbutnow , wobo-
liovo , a resident of Now York. Mr.
Dougherty made some heavy drafts on
his imagination , not the least sug
gestive of which was his declaration
that , "To-day determines that not of his
own choice , but by mandate of his coun
trymen nnd with the sanction of heaven ,
ho shall fill the presidency for four
years moro. " A great deal may bo
pardoned in the utterances of an orator
tor on nn occasion of this kind , but an
attempt to acquit Grover Cleveland of
having any choice in the matter of his
candidacy and to involve heaven in the
affair is going beyond the pardonable
point. Very likely none would bo more
ready than Mr. Cleveland himself to
relieve heaven of all responsibility ,
and to . claim what justly
belongs to him , the full credit
of having brought the democratic party
to his foot and trained it to respond , to
his ambition.
Few men in our history worked harder
to secure a renomination than hns Grover
Cleveland , or used moro freely the great
power and patronage at the command of
the executive in furtherance of this
purpose. So anxious has ho boon in
this matter that for months there has
been no restraint upon the political
activity of federal ofllcoholdors , who in
every state of the union have been con
spicuous in the management of caucuses
and conventions where the interests of
Mr. Cleveland were involved. Ho has
himself in the most unprecedented
manner interfered in the poli
tical affairs of states , nota
bly in Now York and Massachu
setts , while a member of his cabinet has
boon operating in Michigan in his in
terest , and elsewhere his emissaries
have been continually busy. For a year
past every move of Mr. Cleveland has
plainly shown that ho was most anxious
to bo ronominated , and that all the
political skill and ingenuity of which
ho was possessed was being directed to
that end. Give Mr. Cleveland all the
credit that belongs to him for his suc
cess in subjugating the democratic
party to his will , but tlo not make
heaven nn accessory to this business ,
which has involved an amount of turpi
tude and stultification hardly paralleled
in our political history.
The convention adjourned after nomi
nating Cleveland , and it is expected
that to-day's session will develop some
interest. The probabilities strongly
favor the nomination of Thurman for
vice president , but the next tiling in
order will bo the platform. There is re
ported to have been some hot and stormy
discussion in the committee Tuesday
night and yesterday , and there is likely
to ho a great deal moro of this when the
platform is submitted to the convention ,
whatever its character may he. The
probability is that the convention will
finally ngrco to an explicit and unequi
vocal endorsement of the president's
tariff policy as presented in his last
message , nnd oven if nothing bo said
in reference to the bill now before con
gress the endorsement of the president's
views would ho in effect an approval of
the most unfortunate features of the
bill. It would seem that this course is
absolutely necessary to consistency , and
thaf aiijPcompromise or "straddle" will
stultify both the candidate and the
party. Undoubtedly the managers for
the president in the convention will in
sist tlmt his position on the tariff bo
fully approved , and doubtless they will
bo nblo to convince the convention thnt
nothing lobs than this will bo satisfac
tory to Mr. Cleveland or wise for the
party. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Omalm and tlio Union Pixel lie.
Senator Manderson has presented tc
the senate of the United States the pe
tition of the Omaha board of trade in
favor of the Union Pacilic funding bill.
In Washington this will bo taken as
the expression of a commercial body
representing the mercantile interest :
of the Nebraska metropolis. In Omaha
it is known to bo a transparent sham.
The Omaha board of trade is com
posed of 230 members. There were
just fourteen members present when
the resolutions instructing the
secretary to forward the petition wore
adopted. The whole proceeding was a
farce so far ua it pretended tc
represent the sentiments of the
board of trade or of the citizens
of Omaha generally. But it will
servo the purpose for which it was
gotten up just the same by affording an
excuse to our representatives in congress -
gross for supporting the Union Pacifk
bill.

Tlio only return which wo nro prom
ised for favoring this bill to continue the
exorbitant trans-Missouri tolls for lift )
years longer is the construction of nc\\

Where those brancncsvill bo built is

monts. Posslblj borne of them will be
built on the Pacific eoast , If the Omalm
board of trade had exacted some tan
gible guarantee from the Union Pacific
that it would carry into effect some o
its long standing promises of Improved
transfer nnd depot facilities , there
might bo u shadow of excuse for allow
ing itself to bo used ns a decoy to om
senators nnd representatives , io in

Tlip Voice or Oregon.
There was no encouragement for the
democracy in the result of the Oregon
election. The party had undoubtedly
expected a different outcome. The cam
paign was made on national issues , and
.ho influence of the administration was
, hrown into the scale to the fullest ox-
, ent practicable. No rest/vain t was put
upon the political activity of the federal
officeholders in the state , outside talent
was imported to stimulate democratic
zeal , the duty of endorsing the policy of
the administration was vigorously
urged for the impression it would make
upon the country at the opening
of the national campaign , the im
portance of scouring a demo
cratic senator , which would tie
the two parties in the United States
senate , wasearnestly presented , andHn
short every possible effort was made to
place Oregon in the democratic column.
The result is a republican victory by an
increased majority. The first expres
sion nt the ballot box on the policy of
Lho administration is condemnatory.
Whether it bo ascribed to the proposi
tion to make wool free , or to that and
other causes , the repudiation is unmis
takable , and it removes nil question ns
to where Oregon will ho found in No
vember if the republicans make no
mistake at Chicago.
There is a moral influence in this re
publican victory , by an increased ma
jority , at thia juncture , which is
of very substantial value. Its
effect upon republicans everywhere
will bo reassuring. It proves that the
influence of the administration , exerted
through federal ofllcoholdors nnd by
every moans known to political manipu
lation , may bo less formidable than has
been feared. It shows that the people
are very much alive to the issues that
will ho most conspicuous in the national
campaign , and that their action will bo
largely determined by what they be
lieve to bo their interests. The Oregon
figures give evidence that a great many
democrats deserted the party. Why
may it not reasonably bo supposed that
there will bo a similar experience in
other states ? All is not serene and har
monious at St. Louis. It is inevitable
that the completed work of the national
convention will disappoint many and
embitter some. There are demo
crats in every state who will sacrifice
party to personal interest. The in
fluences that swelled the republican
vote in Oregon will not bo absent else
where , nnd they will bo nowhere moro
strongly operative than in the doubtful
states of Now York , Now Jersey and
Connecticut. There is great encourage
ment to republican confidence in the
Oregon victory.
J. STERLING MOUTON , by far the
ablest and most prominent of the Ne
braska delegation to the St. Louis con
vention , was deliberately snubbed by
Mr. Boyd's packing-house gang and
purposely ignored in the division of
honors bestowed by the delegation. Jim
North , who knows a great deal moro
about mules than ho does about plat
forms , was given the most prominent
position on the committees. Ho was
made a member of the committee on
resolutions , for which J. Sterling Mor
ton is so eminently fitted. Jim North
making a platform for the national
democracy is enough to make a horse
laugh. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
WIIILB Mr. Morton was calmly lay
ing out n park in Nebraska City his

getically laying out Morton ns a politi

in the St. Louis convention , the high
water of his enthusiasm has again
widened the breach between the slaughterhouse
ter-house and packing-house states
men. The now Oimtha bridge would not
span the breach.

case.WOOng OS TRIAL.
The case of the state against William
Woods , charged with assault with Intent to
kill James Milton Kerns , was next called.
Woods made an assault upon ICcrns the
night of April C , last , with a pistol , and shot
him twice in the head and three times
in the hands and then beat him
over the head with the butt end of
the pistol. Ono of the shots struck
Kerns' cheek just below the right eye
nnd came out near the nose , The other struck
in the back of the head and made a scalp
wound. The shooting took plnco on South
Thirteenth street , near Murphy's brick yard
Mr. Kerns was the first witness put on the
stand for the state. Ho testified that ho had
had n few words with Woods and his wife
the night before the shooting about their
treatment of their child. There was noth
ing said about the child until the next night ,
when Kerns was going homo from being up
town and Woods met him ou the street and
began shooting nt him.
On cross-examination the defense en
deavored to show that Kerns had been living
with the Woods family and was interfering
with their family affairs and endeavoring to
got their child from them.
It would socm from the testimony of
Kerns that the trouble between the two men
grew out of a supposed intimacy between
Kerns and Mrs. Woods. ICcrns was not
asked directly on this point , but nil the ques
tions asked would indicate that this fact will
be brought out during the trial. The trouble
first originated when the Kerns family aud
Woods family lived in the same house in
Illinois.
City Physician Ralph was the next wit
ness called. Ho had dressed the wounds
that Kerns had received the night of the Oth
of April. Ho testified that the wounds on
the head face and hands of Kerns were made
by pistol shots and some blunt instrument
like a club or the butt end of a pistol.
Captain Cormlck , of the police force , was
the next witness called.

MACK.
7 ho. funeral of John Mack , the switchman ,
who was killed on Monday last , took place
yesterday morning , from his late residence
on South Tenth street. The funeral services
were iicid at St. Patrick's church. It was
attended by a largo number of friends in cur-
riages\vhllo the membersjof the switchmen's '
union turned out hi n largo and imposlngbody.
The procession was headed by the A. O , H.
band. By special request of the superintend
ent of the division , the funeral after leaving
the church took its line along Tenth street ,
where at the crossing four draped engines
were drawn up on either Bide , the bells of
which wore tolled as the procession filed be
tween the locomotives. A number of the
switchmen who were on duty stood near the
engines and baluted the remains of their
dead comrade. It was ono of the most touch
ing episodes In the history of funerals in the
city. The remains were interred in Holy
Sepulchre.
MUItUAV.
The remains of Frank Murray , whoever ho
happens to be , wcro buried yesterday after
noon in Holy Soputchio cemetery after
upvoral attempts were made to discover
where his relatives reside. The notii'O in
TUB BP.K pf the disappearance of the man
'O'Noill who claimed to bo a fricud of the.
dead man nnd who paid $15 of the lattof's
money to the undertaker , brought the miss
ing gentleman forward a few hours nftcr the
announcement was put on the streets. Ho
claims that ho cot the money lu question
from the sisters In the hospital , the nauio
having been given thorn by Murray -when ho
entered the institution. The ulster supposed
O'Noill was a frlond of the dead man and re
turned the money so that it might
eventually roach those who had the besUUlo
to it or that it might bo used In defraying Iho
expenses of Murray's burial.
O'Noill adheres to the story published ,
namely , that Murray had paid Dr. Smith $ )00 )
n short time before entering the hospital to
be cured of dropsy. In a card over that gen-
tlomfm'.s name , which appeared In TUB BKK ,
the physician says thnt Murray did not pay
him u penny for medical treatment. In ad
dition to free treatment , Dr. Smith wont to
St. Joseph's liospital and paid $10 out of his
own pocket for two weeks' board and attend
ance. Thus the matter stands. When tbo
mystery will bo unravelled nnd the Incon
sistent statements harmonized cannot bo
imagined ,

DOES IT MR AN TV D13POT ?
AVliy Hnvo U. i > . Olnclnls Formed ft
Ilcnl Estate Association ?
The talk of n union depot nnd a largo
freight depot for the Union 1'nclfic hns been
revived by the extension of the tracks of
that company westward from Twenty-fourth
street which , it is claimed , is being done because -
cause the read requires moro yard room nt
that place. There Is doubtless some truth in
this , but it is a well known fact that for
years the different managements of the com
pany have been considering various locations
In thnt part of the city for both
passenger and freight depots. Tills
move Is considered n larger ono than Is made
to appear on the surface , especially when
taken in connection with the Incorporation
which was filed n , few days ago , which tolls
of the organization , with n capital of fM.OOO ,
of an association to buy and soil land nnd
composed almost exclusively of Union Pa
cific officials , the leaders being T. L.Klmball ,
Erastus Young , C. J. Smith , John M. Thurs-
ton and T. M. Orr. It Is not at all likely
that the present engagements of these gentle
men would enable thorn to carry on n regu
lar real estate business. such as has been car
ried on hero during the past
few years. Neither would it bent
nt all likely that they would have others to
attend to the conduct of the business for
them. The most probable inference is thnt
thcso gentlemen have received n pointer ns
to the Intention of the company to build n
freight or passenger depot in a certain lo
cality and that accordingly , they intend to
purchase in the neighborhood before the an
nouncement of the location Is made and then
secure n good return upon the investment
when the proposed improvement shall have
enhanced the value of their purchase. The
gentlemen nre nulet about the matter b"t so
la nearly everybody who Is working a quiet
deal.
