prcvnilcd. Root came forvvurd and was
rectal vlth npplnuso. Ho suld that It was
true that the eyes of tha United SUites cro
turned upon the convention. Ho said he ro-
rnrdcd this as the Concord nnd Lu iii 'toii { of
the political revolution that was soon to
cpino , thut they wcro hew today representing
drawing < i uud 4-pci/.cent
three main causes of distress * "word in'pnoy
transportation combines and their own inuo-
tlvity In securing rcsuljs to which'their labor
entitles them. 'Jho farmers were the pro
ducers of all wealth , and they had n right to
nnmo the men who make the laws. Ho
urged the convention not to make a mistake.
Ho hiild the tariff wosMiiliiultoui , and should
bo largely revised.
On the money question Mr. Root salil that
It wiw broad and comprehensive , and that
God had undo moro fools than Ho had
money. lie doubted the vci-.iclty of
John Shermim , ana thought that An-
iinnUs was u novice In the art
of Ij lug , compared with the Uuclcoyo sena

In Omaha the board of. transportation has
charged but ifl ,000 a inllo for tiaeh nad roll
ing stock. An aero or ground of the railroads
is taxed at iiS ) per cent le.ss thnn Individuals
warc. taxed , and showed why the transporta
tion boaiil should bo honest nml or the people
Instead of the rall\vayn.
Nuybcrry thanked the convention.
On tlio chairman asking what was the
pleasure of the meeting half a dozen roio to
nmko various motions , the first being that n
coininlttco of live bo appointed on cicdcntlnls ,
IJeforo the chairman could put this motion
another was made that a commlttoo of ten bo
appointed on resolution1) . Other motions
weio tired at the chairman. An attempt was
made by Burrows to straighten out mutters ,
and he rose to ajiolntof order. There was an
attempt to mltlo the chair , but the chair
Knew what ho was doing , and the bu'inoss
proceeded.
The chairman then chose the followlnc ns n
committee on credentials ; .1. N. Thompson
of Lancaster , J. AI. Holier of Ulrich , J. C.
Ileathcrington of Gale , J. Clink of Cass and
H. B. Ann-tin of Ouster.
A motion was made that a comniittco of
tea bo appointed on platform.
Another motion wns mudo tlmt the conven
tion adjourn for naif an hour.
The chalunan then said ho would suggest
something better than either motion , Ho
thought it would bo a good thing to let some
of the orators present got up on the platform
and get riiloj their superfluous wind.
A motion was offered that smoking bo not
allowed. The chair would not consider such
n motion , and told them percuiptoilly not to
smoke.
Wlillo the committee ou credentials wuro
out O. II. "Vim Wyclt was lustily called for.
Ilo came to the stage and wai met with tre
mendous choow. ilo said that ho could not
speak , but that they were here for business.
"Equal Justice to nil special privileges to
none , " was the platform nnd their religion.
Ho talked about ttio g. o. p. ship leaking and
Said that the old ship was covered with b.ir-
uncles , and that the old shin should bo over
turned and the old tilekslcrs drowned out.
'I he new party had no water to pump-it was
] ubt launching'on a ( treat open sea a now ship
u magnificent vessel , and If the people wcro
in earnest they would hind in a sato harbor In
November , whllu tbo old leaking hulk foundered -
dorod and was lost.
Horjasted In a vigorous manner the board
of transportation , mid said thut after the
members pleaded guilty to seiviiiK the rall-
roadi , the republican party threw two
of thcift overboard and saved the other ,
lie wanted a legislature and state govern
ment that would wring the water out of rail
road stocks. Ilo was willing tbo railroads '
should make n good ntto of Interest , but rob-
bi'i-y , as It had been practiced in thU. htute ,
must .ccaso. The Uay of special privilege
must cud ,
Power * was called for and responded Mr.
Powers was greeted with three cheers. He
bald ho could not como uofoi-o them with the
eloquence of a Van Wyck. Ho was Just u
working man. Ho came before the conven
tion as ono of flio pooplo. When tbo govern
ment wtis established It was a people's ROV-
iTnmoiit. Hut designing men ilnally Inaugu
rated another system und that was that , ] x > o-
plo bo governed by paitlcs. Ho proposed to
trv to show that jicoplo Jiad been bled by un
principled men. The plan adopt ot wits to
divide the people Into two Rival sections thnt
this iHionlq might bo arrayed against each
other. Tlio people had had no chance to gov
ern themselves , but had been
plunged In dosi > crate political llflits ,
and whllu the tight was going
on , the sharks plundered them. Then Mr.
Powers reviewed the ihianclal question and
nil of the question ! ! that Imvo confronted the
poonlc slnco Adam was a boy. Ho said the
toltllers had been treated iu mendicants. Mr ,
I'ou'cw talked about railroads , but fulled to
make any proposition that ho could sustain ,
or that had nnv connection. Ho said that
ho homes of Nebraska had no stability , that
.hey were Imperilled , and ho regretted that
loclld not have lungs strong enough to shout
-ho proposition so loud that the whole civil-
zed world could hear his rumbling utter
ances. A leading newspaper In Lincoln wns
misted because It had advised the farmers to
stay nthomonnd attend tothclrown business
I'lils was for the Lincoln Journal and
-ho farmer * applauded it. Powon said that
; ho fight was on ami that if the battle this
fall should provo u Diill Itun or a grand
victory , the light must bo contlnucdt and
fought out on that line I fit took all of snvoral
summers. Ho was not In favor of blood
spilling , ns I. n. Chainbctlaln had advocated
at Columbus. Ho didn't know much about
finance , because ho was n farmer , and farm
ers , because of recent nrrangenionts , did not
get much of the money. After talking a"bout
nn hour , ho win reminded that ho should bo
brief , and then concluded thnt ho would.talk
a few minutes.
The commlttoo on credentials then re
ported thnt seventy-seven counties were en
titled to n representation of SOS delegate1) ) .
Tbo temporary oigaiii/utlon was nt this
time made permanent. J. J.I. Crathlock was

A motion was mudo that a plunk bo
adopted dccKu-iiif ; tlmt eight hours

A Hlcliardson county rn.m wanted to

uves nml nays wcro called. Halden of
Kearney said that there must Lie no misunder
standing on the vote ; that tbo Knights of
Labor wanted the eight-hour law in cities ,
but old not refer to farmers. Van Wyck
moved at this place thata comniittco of three

An objection was made about visitors
crowding Into the nlsles and boats and voting
as though they were delegates.
A motion wns made by a delegate from
Frontier county that all porsoaa not delegates
ho requested to withdraw from the floor of
the house.
They wcro told to no.
A motion was made that all nominating
speeches bo squelched. This was modlllcd to
rend that nil nominating speeches bo limited
to three minutes , anil prevailed.
There hod been so much confusion caused
by irresponsible delegates Jumping upon Iho
chairs and yelling "Mr. .Chairman" that n
motion wns made that no person mounting u
chair should be recognized. This carried
with a shout.
Next a motion was made that only ono
speech bo made in the nomination of each
candidate. This prevailed , although every
man having a ready mndo speech yelled no
when It was put to a voto.
A motion was made that only two speeches
bo allowed for cacti candidate in seconding
nominations. A long debate followed , in
which a colored man from Omaha doc
dared that It was an outrage to suppress the
speeches. Ho like 1 to listen to thoin. ho do-
cured , and said that this was the only
means of Slndlng out which was the best
man. This created a pjrfect uproar , and the
chairman attempted In vain to make himself
heard.- . Finally a dclogato from Flllinoro up-
paled to the delegates to keep quiet und was
applauded.
Then the chairman called upon every old
soldier present to rlso , and amid deafening
cheers veterans arose to their feet. In order
to nmko It accurate the chairman of each
delegation counted the number mid presented
the biiine to the hecrot.iry.
Again the chaiiman had to anneal to the
noisy delegates to bo quiet , lie then ap
pointed the chairman of caclulelcg.ition tenet
net as a policeman for his delegation.
The report of the fommlttoi ) o-i reiolutlons
was then read , Jay Burrows acting as spokes-
man

to vote the motion for adjournment ,
The chair was hi doubt ns to whether the
ayes or nays had carried , but admitted that

The outburst of shouts and gesticulations
that followed this was perfectly maddening' ,
In vain the chairman pounded the table like
u blacksmith welding iron. ITor several min
utes the convention was buyond his control.
Jay Burrows llnally had to eoino to the res
cue ' and with his my.stlo wand and treble
