Tlio Democratic Ticket ,
This tlmo it was the expected that
happened * Nearly a month ago Tin ?
BKR first announced to the countrfy that
Mr. Cleveland desired Judge Thurman ,
of Ohio , ag Iho candidate for vice presi
dent , nnd that n movement to that end
wns to bo nl once started , The move
ment did start , and the culmination was
reached yesterday at St. Louis In the
nomination of the veteran democratic
loader on the first ballot. AH wo have
before said , Cleveland and Thurman is
an incongruous arrangement. The
brains , the dignity and the character
are in the tall of tha ticket. The states
manship , the experience , the broad
knowledge of public affairs are
at the bottom. The contrast in the
ability of those two men , unfavorable to
the first of them , ia greater than has
over before been presented in n national
ticket , folk nndPlorco wore notgrcat
men , but they wore at least the equals
of the men who were associated with
thorn as candidates. The inferiority of
the head of the present democratic
ticket is so universally recognized that
it may bo expected that Thurman will
occupy far more of the attention of dem
ocratic orators in the campaign than
Cleveland , nnd that the rod bandana
will become the one insignia of demo
cratic liopo and fealty.
The nomination of Thurman was un
doubtedly the wisest in some respects
that could have boon made. ITo elves
the ticket a character which hardly
any other could have conferred upon it ,
nnd ho also gives it a certain strength
which might have been wanting with
out him. But it is quite possible to
overestimate his strength. The veter
ans of the party will rally to him with
cal and enthusiasm , .but the younger ole-
montcanfcol no such Interest in his can-
illdncy , nor can ho attract those who for
the llrst time are to identify themselves
with one of the political parties. It is a
mistake to suppose , also , that Mr.
Thurmnu has no enemies in the demo
cratic party. In his own state ho has
boon bitterly fought , and it is
not probable that his nomination
will make a difference of a
thousand votes there in favor of the de
mocracy. There is no reason why ho
should bo especially acceptable to the
democrats of Now York , since his finan
cial views for the past twenty-five years
have always boon hostile to theirs.
What effect may bo produced in Indiana
by bis crowding Gray oil the track re
mains to be seen , but it Will not bo sur
prising .if the disappointed democracy
of that state show a lack of enthusiasm
in the cause , The Pacific coast dolo-
atcs wore especially earnest in urging
the nomination of Mis Thurman , but
when they come to soberly roilqct that
a feeble man seventy-five years old could
be of very little service if elected they
may find it difficult to maintain their
enthusiasm.
Nevertheless , it wilir not bo wise for
republicans to underestimate ) the
strength of the democratic tickot. The
safer way will bo to assume that Cleve
land and Thurman will command the
full party support , and to recognize tbo
necessity of opposing thorn with candi
dates who can got tbo entire republican
veto nnd draw from the ranks of those
who are outside the lines of both par
ties. The advantage of position is with
the democracy , in so far as they are in
possession of the means to stimulate po
litical activity and reward political ser
vice , and nothing is more certain than
that these will bo unsparingly used.
The party is getting back to earnest po
litical work , and its ono national suc
cess in a quarter of a century has given
it confidence. Its throe years of power
and control of the spoils has developed
a most vigorous appetite for more , and
it will omit no effort to keep its hold. It
may as well bo confessed and understood
that it will be no easy task to defeat it ,
and that the republican party cannot
afford to go into the campaign with any
mistakes to bo explained away or apolo
gized for.
The Platform.
After nearly throe days of wrangling
in committee the democratic platform
makers at last arrived at what they
were certain at the outset to reach , an
unequivocal endorsement of the policy
laid down for the party by the presi
dent. The members of .the committee
who were opposed to doing this showed
themselves possessed of good staying
qualities in the long fight they made ,
but they must have seen from the first
that their cause was hopeless. It was
absolutely necessary , on every account ,
to make the platform to fit the candi
date , and those who would not admit
this were so small n minority as to bo
almost powerless. It would seem , how
ever , from the reading of the
platform that they were cnablei
to have introduced a few dec
larations which are in the na
ture of a compromise , but still the
endorsement of the president's policy
'stands ' out with sufficient boldness to
satisfy oven Mr. Cleveland.
The platform is understood to have
been chiefly the work of Mr. Walter-
son , which will account for its being
largely a discussion , in editorial style
of the tariff and revenue questions. I
may account , also , for the fact thai
there is not a word of reference to civil
service reform , a policy regarding
which Mr. Wattorson and Mr. Gorman
are in complete accord , though diffor-
iug as to the tatill. Itis to little pur
pose to discuss the claims and assump
lions set forth in a party platform
though some of these in the S
Louis production are so palpably vul
ncrable as to invite discussion , These
things are expected in parly platforms
however , and they pass for no more
than they are worth as political bun
combe , The only question of concert
was whether the convention would fully
and squarely endorse the turiit policy
of the president and of the democratic
majority in congress , and this it did.
The attitude of the party is thus clearly
and irrevocably defined on what is to be
the chief issue in the national cam
paign. . . .
Our Tra lo In South America. > " i
A careful and detailed report has jus
bean issued by the department of btato
from Mr. John K. Bacon , consul a
Montevidlo , concerning our trade witl
the South American republics. He
points out that it is to the disgrace of
our merchants that but a fraction of the
.70Q,000OOOof . annual commerce ( exports
nnd imports ) of the twenty "American
ndins" comes to the United Stales.
While England and Germany are strain-
ng every nerve tp secure more than
heir share of the commercial ex
changes the United States looks on
vith indifferonco. This should not bo
o. The South. American countries ,
> y reason of their geographical
ocation , are in climate , production ,
supply nnd demand the reverse of the
United States. They are our most
mtural customers as wo are their buy
ers. Their principal products nro
sugar , coffee , cocoa , hard 'woods , dye
stuffs , hides and wool , all of which are
raw materials in great demand in the
[ lulled States. In return for which the
United States would return the raw
materials converted into manufactures.
Wo would send them cotton goodsagri
cultural machinery and mechanical im
plements , shoos , hats , watches , clocks ,
Hardware , also wheat , corn , flour ,
jacon , tobacco , kerosene , oil , etc. But
despite the commercial reciprocity of
trade which ought to flow naturally bo-
, woon North nnd South America , the
[ Jnltod States controls only one-fifth
of the annual trade of these
countries , aud supplies only
one-seventh of the imports.
Ono remarkable feature that ought to
encourage a close business connection
with South America is that the raw
material sent from there to the United
States when manufactured and sent
back to the Spanish republics com
mands a price two or three timcshighor
than in the "states. " England , France ,
Germany , Italy and Spain rccognlzo
the profitableness of that trade which
the United States makes no effort to
invite. It is evident/ that the trade of
South America is worth having , in
view of the continued and energetic
efforts made by some European coun
tries. With a little energy the United
States can regain the prestige in
South America which obtained before
the war , and can monopolize fully
two-thirds of the business in that
country. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A WASHINGTON paper figures that
Judge Gresham will go into the na
tional republican convention with three
hundred and thirty-three votes. The
Chicago Tribune believes that ho will
have three hundred aud fifty-five to
start with , or within fifty-four of a nom
ination. If either of these calculations
shall prove to bo correct it is almost
certain that Groshaui will bo the candi
date. It is moro than probable" , however -
over , that the least of the in will bo
found to bo an overestimate. For ex
ample , the Washington paper gives
Gresham six votes from Nebraska , Wo
are not- aware upon what authority it
docs this , and the nucuracy of its fig
ures in this instance is cer
tainly questionable. Very likely
the same is true as to other states.
Nevertheless , the present indications
are that Grobham will load on the first
ballot , and thereafter a great deal will
depend upon the constancy of his sup
porters. Meantime it will bo well to
consider what influence the nomination
of Thurman is likely to bavo in promot
ing the chances of Senator Sherman.
Undoubtedly the supporters of the Ohio
senator will strenuously urjro the ne
cessity of arraying him against the
other Ohio man , and it is to bo expected
with sorao effect. At this time it looks
ns if the race for the prize would bo
narrowed down to Gresham and Sher
man , after other aspirants have received
complimentary votes.
! has been organized in Chicago
a company of coal consumers for the
purpose of securing their supply of fuel
without having to pay the profits of
dealers and middlemen. The company
will purchase at the mines the amount
of coal required by its members , nnd the
supply called for by each member will
bo delivered as ordered with only the
cost of transportation aud handling
added to the first price. The saving
will bo from ono dollar to ono dollar and
a half a ton. The company expects no
difficulty in securing all the coal it may
require , on ns favorable terms as are
given to other largo buyers. Why can
not something of this sort bo done by
the consumers of Omaha ? If the Chicago
cage company has found the plan to bo
ont'roly ' practicable , why may it not
also bo hero'/ All grades of coal
used for domestic purposes are very
much higher in Omaha than in Chicago ,
bo that there is a stronger reason why
consumers hero should make some offorl
to protect themselves in this important
matter. Wo believe that the organiza
tion of ono or more companies , similar
to that in Chicago , would not only
benefit the members , but have an in
fluence that would bo of general ad
vantage. The matter is worthy of at
tention and now is the time to think
about it ,
EVJDKNCH is already beginning to
coino in that the better class of Ne
braska democrats those members o !
the party who have some regard for
what is fair and straightforward , even
in politics are sorely displeased at the
discourtesy shown Mr. Morton by the
majority of the delegation to the St.
Louis convention. Wo print a com
munication from ono of those demo
crats , roundly condemning the action
of Boyd and the men who allowed them
selves to bo used by them , nnd un
doubtedly thousands ot democrats in the
state are in full accord with the writer.
They respect the ability of Mr. Morton
and they realize that a serious blow
was struck at the character of Nebraska
democracy when ho was ignored and
Boyd , North nnd Castor pushed to
the front. But the question is , what
will they do about itV They may pro
test , but of what consequence will their
protest bo if they continue to practically
acknowledge the leadership of these
men by voting with them1 ; And nobody
supposes that ono of them will fail to
respond when the demand is inudoupon
him.
Tim number of confidence men in

Almost an accident : When Fred Fisher ,
a lad working for Mr. A. Ilenrieh , at Colum-
ous , was harrowing near the a road , a couple
of school children passed with an open um
brella and scored his horses so that they ,
though very gentle , kicked the boy in the
head and on thu leg. Parents should instruct
their children if requested to do so , as lu this
case.

Tlio corn crop throughout the country
looks very poor in places whcro the lay of
the land is Inclined to be level , while upon
the rolling lands the corn crop looks very
bright and promising. Too much rain has
about demoralized the corn crop in level dis
tricts. Cool weather , too , has made itself
felt wonderfully on the corn everywhere ,
yet the crop will ho better than last year.
Iowa is going to have a prosperous year.
The small grain crops are practically as
sured , and the hay and pasture yield will no
far better than for the past two summers ,
and new grass roots nro .filling the spaces in
the meadows burnt out by liibt Hummer's fer
vent heat. The season is n little late for
corn , but not too lato. In short , the prospect
is most flattering. Thcro will be no selling
short of pigs and calves by Iowa farmers
this year.
It is amusing tn note , says the DCS Molncs
News , how thu railroad authorities at Chicago
cage , in discussing nurthwestoin ratrs , ig
nore the Iowa commission and its coming ac
tion on the question of freight rates and as-
Humes that Iowa rates are still to bo what
ever the roads determine. Thny take it for
granted that Iowa rates cannot como down
unless rates between Chicago and St. Paul
are first reduced. Whether they are playing
a double part in this matter , or whether they
have failed to grasp the situation as affected
by the new Iowa law , < \pes \ not appear. Hut
it is certain that Iowa" rates are going to
como down whether the advaneo on ship
ments from Chicago to St. Paul is main
tallied or not.

The Mnlu idea Uclng the Material
Advancement ufthq Territory
Mr. H. W , Sloan , manager of the SftU
Lake City Herald , Is In the city , nnd was
yesterday Interviewed by a ItnR rcporton
Mr. Sloan has been n resident of Salt Lake
City for the past twonty-threo yonrs , and Is
fully posted nnd conversant with Vho history
nnd past nnd present affairs of that place.
"What , are the present general conditions
ot Salt Lukot" asked the reporter.
"Tho main Idea now scorns to bo the mn
torlal advancement ot the territory , " was
the response"To this end there is a unan
imity of snntimont which I do not recollect
ever having seen thcro boforo. Something
over a year ago a chamber ot commerce was
organized , and Its membership to-day In com-
Dosed both of Mormons and Gontllos , who
act Jointly aud harmoniously on all subjects
looking to the advancement Ot Salt Lake aud
the territory generally. As evidenced , a
fund has recently been raised to sot forth ns
widely as possible throughout the country
the very many advantages onjoyoil by Utah
and to this fund both Mormon nnd pontllo
names have been found running sldo by side
ia amounts rivalling each othor. "
"What are Uio natural resources ot Salt
Lake and the territory ) "
"They would rnnko anrotty lengthy list. I
prosurno lam Justified In saying there lane
country of the same area that combines us
many natural advantages as are to bo found
in the territory of Utah these comprise
equability of climate , rarltlod ntmosuhoro ,
finest sea bathing in the world , mountain
ccnory and. retreats , warm and in in oral
springs , the lost thrco being within fifty
minutes' walk of each othor. Besides these
the soil Is wonderfully prolific and there is
nn abundance of wntor. All vegetables and
fruits that can bo rnlsod In a temperate cli
mate find n singularly luxuriant growth.
Then the mountains teem with minerals of
nil kinds lead , silver , gold , copper , bound
less iron mountains , limitless coal measures ,
the llncst sulphur known , finest nnd largest
asphaltum claims In the world , building rock
without any mineral waste , petroleum and
in digging for water , wells of natural pis
have been struck in such volumes that com
panies have been formed to drill deeper for
it. From the water of the lake no less than
fourteen distinct substances nro pro-duped by
the local chemical works , each of which is
nn essential principle in some manufacture.
In the hot springs water nineteen different
Ingredients have been discovered , all of
them having a medicinal character , and
some remarkable cures have been effected
atrioug invalids who have been treated at
the springs. You see , wo have an altitude
in our Xorrltor.v which ranges In different
valleys from two thousand to eight thousand
feet. In the south wo can grow cotton ,
oranges and ilgs , and In tome parts of thu
north nothing can bo grown , it U so cold.
Wo can have winter and summer , and sum
mer and winter. Of course , the moro pro-
ductlvo valleys are in the main like Salt
Lake vnlloy , which is about four thousand
two hundred foot above ho sea lovol. This
glvos us a good agricultural nnd
fruit basis , which , together with
our mineral resources anil opportun
ities for establishing manufactories ,
begets a confidence in the future growth of
Salt Lake City. In this anticipated growth
and the material advantages expected to accrue -
cruo to the community and individuals from
it , I imagine may bo found a very good rea
son for the remarkable change In public
sentiment that has taken place within tha
last twelve months. "
"What nro these changes in public senti
ment you speak of 1"
"I pa\\co \ \ it In a disposition on the part of
early all eit&iu ? to yield to some extent to
the opinions of others. Men meCtnml nsso-
clato In business undertakings , who affliiP.i
t\gonistio : in their religious nnd political
opinions. This was thought some tlmo ago
to bo impossible so far an Mormons wcro
concerned , but it is n fact to-day. Perhaps
the best evidence- bo had of this is found in
the contributions to the fund collected for
advertising Salt Lalco City. Seven mou are
being sent out on Mormon and Gentile money
to make known to the United States what I
have in brief already rotated. An exposition
car has boon fitted up which
will make its llrst stand in Omaha , and will
arrive in a day or two. The car is filled with
manufactured and raw products , aud is do-
sinned to teach by object lesson the romark-
aulc manner in which Utah has. been blessed
by nature. "
"What deduction do you make from this
movement ? "
"This. If the plan for advertising Utab ,
and to 'which botli Mormons ana Gentiles
have loaned willing hands Uo successful , its
effect will bo to Induce a heavy influx of pop
ulation and capital into Utah. This will bo
composed of non-Mormon elements. This
fact is known naturally enough to Mormons.
It Is not , therefore , probable that they are
opposed to thu material advancement of the
territory , when they themselves are con
tributing to the in-bringing of an element
which will not certainly bo favorable. "
"No , I do not think Mormons look for
statehood just now , though they would bo
glad enough to got it. "
Mr. Sloan is on his way oast.

The waterworks case of Fairbanks against

The hearing of the case of the state against
William Woods waslrosumcd yesterday morn
ing before Judge Groff. Captain Cormlck was
put ou the stand again for the stato. There
was an objection to his evidence
ns to what ho heard when Woods
surrendered himself to the police , nnd Chief
Scavoy was placed ou the stand , Ho was
allowed to testify from notes made during his
conversation with Woods. Ho stated that
Woods' story as told to him was about as fol
lows : "Davis procured the pistol and gave
it to mo to shoot Kerns. I met Kerns ou
South Thirteenth street nnd fired a shot at
him and ho grabbed mo and knocked mo
down. I kept shooting after I was down. I
then loft the city by the n , & M. railroad
and went to Denver , I worked thcro awhile ,
and thinking that my wife might get into
trouble over the affair I rotuincd to this
city . "
The statement made by Woods to Chief
Scavcy showed that Davis and ICerns each
had a lover's interest in Mrs. Woods , and
that Davis was the hotter friend of WooJs
and they wcro cauh interested in disposing of
ICerns. Woods also stated that when ho re
turned ho did not know whether Kerns was
living or not.
Captain Cormlck was put on the stand
again to corroborate the statements of Woods
us made before the chief ami him.
George Kingston was next put on the stand
and testified that ho was within aboiittwenty
feet of the men when the shouting began.
Ho heard ICerns call to Woods to not murder
him and found Kerns in the street and bent
for the patrol wagon to takohim homo.
City Jailer Johnson was the last witness
called before court adjourned at noon. Ho
testified that Woods suid to him the next
morning in the Jail that ho did not return
homo after ho shot ICorns and did not know
whothcr ho killed him or not but that ho in
tended to kill him. The remainder
of hU testimony WIIH itbout ttm same as that

A Democratic ) Protest Aitnlnst Mor

II ISTINOSI , Nob. , Juno 7. To the Editor of
TIIK 13iu : The notion of the Nebraska
delegation at St. Louis not recognizing the
Hon. J. Sterling Morton in the appointment
of their committees , Is denounced by demo
crats In this city as unjust to the party ,
cowardly m principle , and In direct opposition
"to the resolution adopted by the state con
vention , proposed by Frank U. Morrissey in
favor of Hoyd , Morton and Harmony. To
take advantage of Mr. Morton's absence was
not only an insult to him , but nn insult to the
democratic paity of the state. If Mr. Boyd
would have the democrats of Nebiaska bo-
llovu that ho Is acting for the good ot the
party , ho should have placed Mr. Morton on
the committee on resolutions , then the demo
crats of Nebraska would have had confidence
that there was going to bo harmony between
the democratic leaders iu tha state. The
plea that Mr. North is an able man will not
satisfy thu democrats of Nebraska , because
this is the year that wo want unqualifiedly
the best men in the most responsible places.
There Is no comparison in point of ability
between Mr. North and Mr. Morton. Mr.
Korth is a man of average ability uo moro.
Mr. Morton is a giant mentally aud the
father of tariff reform in Nebraska.
Ho has a national reputation us an orator ami
writer upon the vital issues that aio before
the democratic party to-day ; his council upon
that committee would bo valuable to tlio con
vention ; it would bo listened to by our load
ers in national ) x > litics , and bo of almost in
calculable benefit to tua douiocratio party in
pcnser of federal patronage , the rule or ruin
man of Nebraska democracy willed it other
wise , defeated what ho know to bo the desire
of the party , nnd repudiated n rosolutJon-of
his own adopted by the state convention. Mr.
Boyd caino so near being defeated In the
state convention at tor the delegates got on to
his game , that bo was afraid to trust his
chances to a full delegation , but took the del-
ogata that ho owns by the nose and said ,
"Walk up and vote for mo , lot us defeat the
party , and that popular man with the people
Morton and put mo , the great ( pork )
packer , at the head of Nebraska democracy , "

Both Scorn to Bo Getting Together
Encouragingly.
The announcement in yesterday's papers
that the Omalia bridge bill had .passed both
houses of congress was received with much
satisfaction by all leading citizens. The an
nouncement would have been more grateful
had not the clause been attached requiring
tnat the bridge bo not built less than onc-
thlrdofa milo away from any bridge now
spanning the Missouri. That clause was at
tached because of the opposition of the Union
Pacific which , not satisfied with controlling
the river front with a pair of bridges , thought
to discourage the scheme of u third structure
by sending it to u site where it would cost a
great deal to build. Senator Mandorson ,
however , made no attempt to have the
amendment killed , feeling that thu people
hero wanted the charter witli the amend
ment rather than that the bill should bo de
feated. Tlio passage of the bill has aroused
a great deal of commendation for the efforts
of Mr. MeShauo ami Mr. Mandorson , with
the former of whom the bill originated in
tlio houso. The bill authorizes Iho Nebraska
Central company to construct the bridge for
railroads , wagons and pedestrians ; that if It
shall bo made with unbroken spans it shall
not bo loss than fifty feet above high water
mark ; and if of draw pattern , the spans
shall not bo loss than 230 feet in
length on each side of tlio pivot , that
all railroads desiring BO to do , shall have a
right to cross the structure and that it shall
bo commenced inside of two and finished Inside -
side of four years.
