The convention called by the union labor
party , and hold in the council chamber yes
terday afternoon , was 3 somewhat complex
affair. The wire-manipulating element of
both dominant parties was well represented ,
and before the convention assembled , Im
proved the opportunity of button-holeing
those present in the interest of their respec
tive constituency. When the body formally
assembled but twelve representatives of the
element fathering the call were present.
At 2:30 : o'clock Allen Uoot called the meet
ing to order. In addressing the nudleuco ho

Hedge was chosott secretary. A discussion
arose at this point regarding the object of the
meeting. Those who had come purposely to
further political schemes wore treated to a
sad rebuff by the chair announcing that all
who desired to participate in the deliberations
of the convention must sign the national
platform and a pledge to support the entire
labor ticket. Tills led to nn inquiry concern
ing who the nominees on the national and
state ticket were , but none of those present
could enlighten the inquisitor us regards
their names.
On motion , the chair * appointed Messrs.
Driglmm , Holland and Ebersold n committee
to draft resolutions. The committee reported

dent ; and the Nebraska Union labor party
platform adopted at Hastings September 4 ,
1888. And further declare that wo demand
the government shall issue all money or cir
culating , medium direct to the people and
make it a full legal tender.
That corporations are public Institutions
and uro amenable to the law and should bo

for services computed on the services per

the capital actually invested.
We demand immediate payment of the 4 %

Wo protest ugainst all convict labor laws ,
and denounce the Importation into the state
of foreiirn Pinkertons and other paid police

We denounce blacklisting as a crime against
the natural rights of man.

Cnllioun'H Dental.
In a special from Nebraska City to THE
I3KK some days ago , It was stated that S. II.
Calhouu , internal revenue collector for this
district , was fighting the nomination of J.
Sterling Morton for congress. In reply to
this , Mr. Calhoun forwards the following
loiter :
In your issue of the 24th I notice a com
munication from your Nebraska City correspondent
pendent stating that I had opposed Mr.
Morton's candidacy for congress , and had dis
charged clerks und employes who had re
fused to aid in defeating him.
Whoever originated this statement is a liar.
I have done nothing to aid. Mr. Morton's can
vas , but I htwo donu nothing to oppose it. I
have lot him and his canvas entirely alone ,
and no employe or clerk in my office has
been discharged for any cause whatever for
more than six uionthhs last past. Very re
spectfully , S. H. CAUIOUN.
