While this committee was out , the conven

uut of place for any man to inako a speech.
Ho said that Ilarluu would bo the next con
gressman from the second district and tmit
Hi > spirit that was manifest ton.ight would
triumph iu November. Ho was sure that

November. Governor Thuyer said tliat he

a speech , but wanted the party to work for
Biu-cess.
- CharlioTanner , the man who always makes
n fuss , tried to inako a speech , butwus hooted
off the floor.
A moiioa was tnado that the convention

Bter , A. Higby ; York , A. J. Nownnm.
Hnrlan was llnally found and spoke ns fol
lows : "While it Is with gratitude that I no-
cent , allow mo to say that in tbo coming cam
paign I will do all within my power for sue-
cobs. If I should bo elected 1 will do nil I can
do to represent the people of Nebraska nnd
especially the people of the Second ilistrict.
My Idea of a congressman is that bo should
represent the people and not himself. I will
not go into detail tonight.'o look over our
land ami Hud discontent , dissatisfaction. Wo
look across the waters nnd llnd in Russia , In
Germany , in Uugl.ind that the wcakerclnss is
buttling against the stronger. In this coun
try wo llnd thosiimo thing. Thopoorapilnst
the rich , A contest Ixjtwccu the people nnd
the corporations is going on and our own
pnrtv is In danger. I do not deserve the rep
utation of Doing for tbo people if It lias been
gained as a mountohnn ! ; . 1 have been against
colpomtlons from principle and will always
insist that they bo abridged and allowed to
only enrn their share. In tbo house of 1SS7
was u bill ugninst railroads nnd my vote
on that showed where I stood. 1 think the
interstate commcrco law would end nil this
discussion on general votes nnd that on local
rates the legislation could nml would ivgulato
' -rfctMmitler. On the question of the tariff I
believe I urn in accord with the people of thu
west. In the IMcIvinloy bill there aai things
I would not vote for. As to IHMI&IOIIH and
soldlors I urn with the platform and think
the soldiers Imvo nuver been paid for the
work they have done. "
Nottlclon said In substance : "It's not cus
tomary to preach one's own funeral sermon.
GentUmon , you have chosen wisely. I know
him to bo tried and true. 1 shall do my slmro
of the work to elect him. Lot us return to
\ our homes and next November wo will semi
our nominee to the hall of ropresontntlvos. "

HASTIXCI * , Noh. , July ! 50. [ Special Tele
gram to Tim BKI-Thisis : n yro.it country ,
this America , for tbo making and manufac
ture of statesmen. Your correspondent left
Lincoln nt ! 5 o'clock this morning , Just after
the people's convention had finished Its long
all night struggle , leaving statesmen happy
and statesmen disappointed , and at 8 o'clock
ho arrived at Hastings 100 miles west of
Lincoln , There scorned to bo no'surceasa of
sorrow , no letting up hi the matter of am
bitious politicians. As I entered the Hotel
Hoslwlck , named after that eminent heavy
weight statesman , 13oss Bostwick , I saw a
crowd of hungry statesmen , each ono having
n ravenous look.
H. lioitwlck came Into the hotel onlco nml
took possession of a barber chair mid had his
cheok.shaved , and yet loft an nnnlo : supply
of it. Ho talked of "tbo situation" with all
his old time confidence ; admitted that ho was
in the light for bload , and with a knowing
wink said that n man mi'ht ( bo a chump who
wou Id bellcvo nil the rumors he heard con
cerning Harbin's unanimity. In thu Ian-
cungo of Mr. Byron , the poet , Air. Uo.stwick
is us mild a mannered man as ever cut a
throat or scuttled a ship. The lloss
never did either of these two things , but
ho is something of a politician all the same.
James W. U.uvos of Crete , ex-governor
of this state , and in tbo Held against Foss
for everything , was another patriot who met
me , and who assured mo that Ilarlan was to
bo tbo man. Yet bo had u niystnrlous air
about him , and ho talked moro mysteriously
than ho acted.
Smith Caldwell , oiu-o himself and tlio
world for Laws against the earth , has said
that Laws is not in thu race , and ho is fnuK-
Ing oil for tbo lucky fallow with all bis might
and main.
Colonel E. T ) . Webster came in on the flyer
this morning from Lincoln , nml hois uuknii ;
liny frjuia few different standpoints , but
vou cannot tell Just what is running through
his bend.
J. W. Johnson of Sutton , who was ivcontly
received by a crowd of hoodlums upon bit
rot arn from Lincoln , and treated in a manner
not highly edifying , is another ubrubt poli
tician who is dipping his our r.ithur deeply.
Senator Kicktoy of York Is hero doing all
that ho can do for Ilarlan , as is aba Tim
Soilswick ot the York Times. These two
penllomen feel confident that Ilarlnn will be.
chosen by acclamation.
D.IU Nottletoa of Clay Is hero nnd has
opened out headquarters , and this morning
feels that bo is lo bo tlio chosen ono to go la
the r.ico to dofc.it Ali'Kolglmui. 1 talked
with Dan and ho is hopeful.
G. W. lloston , the Orleansbinkei--wtio was
snowed under for governor In the state con
vention last week , is on tlio ground , anil ho
reviews "tho situation" In a manner that Is
highly and gaily gratifying to all of tuojo
who know Air. Boston host.
H. G. Stewart and Colonel D. H. AIllls of
Republican City , politician * from the time

open for pre-omptlon , are wendlnit their way

A Nashville Man Nominated for Gov
ernor by Acuhunatloii ,
NAfiiviu.K , Tenn. , July 80. The republi
can state convention was called to order by
John Walker of tbo state committee , and
Xach Taylor of Shelby county u as selected as
tcmparary chairman. After the appointment
of various committees the convent ion took n
recess until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
At the afternoon session Congressman
Houk was made permanent chairman. The
platform was adopted with great applause.
It reafilrrns allegiance to the principles of the
last national platform and endorses
the administration of President Harrison ,
also the action of thq republican representa
tives in congress , especially their effort to
enact a protective tariff law that will restore
and mnintain confidence in the busi
ness policy of the republican party ,
build up homo industries , afford
convenient nnd profitable employment
to the people nnd a homo market for the sur
plus products of our farms and at the same
time yield a sufficient revenue for the needs
of the government. It recognizes the right
and duty of congress to P.ISS nn elfeetivo
election law and expresses confidence in the
wisdom and patriotism of the republican
party that it will not pass any law
which would unsettle the business
Interests of any section of the country. The
country is congratulated upon the wise solu
tion of the silver question in congress. Strong
opposition is expressed to trusts and the bill
recently passed by congress against such
combines is heartily approved. The demo
cratic administration of the state of Tennessee
is denounced ns weak , short-sighted , non-pro
gressive and unpatriotic.
Hon. Lewis T. Baxter of Davidson county ,
president of tlio Nashville Commercial club ,
was nominated for governor by acclamation.

putting aside of all heart burnings anil per

George 1' . Marvin of Gage county was
chosen temporary secretary. Harry G. Itaco
of Casi was made assistant secretary.
- On motion of Mr. Montgomery the several
delegations were ijircetcd to , hand their cre
dentials to the secretary , who was instructed
to make up the list of delegates while- the
convention took n ten minute recess.
On reassembling the list prepared by the
secretary was accepted.
On motion of Frank Morrissey of Douglas
the temporary organization was inndo perma
nent.
On motion of C. .T. Smytli of Douglas the
chair named the following committee on res
olutions , one member being from each county
C. J. Smyth , Douglas ; S. B. IligRS , Gage ;
Charles Pool , Johnson ; John II. Ames , Lan
caster ; II. D. Travis , Cnss ; J , W. liariilmrt ,
Nomnhii ; Harry Boydston , Otoo ; KV. .
Story , Puwneo ; Kd Falloon , Uiehardson ; J.
E , Campbell , Harpy ; T. \Vorrall \ , Sautidors ,
All resolutions wore ordered read and re
ferred to the committee \vithoutdobato.
Mr. Morrissey moved that the convention
suspend further business . until after the
committee on resolutions reported.
This brought W. K. Vuuiflinto his feet and
a lively scrap ofwoiufp followed. Ho said
the nominee of the convention would lie on
the ticket with the eanflldatcs for state
oftlees and would stnni ! 'on the plntfin'in
adopted lay the state fcouvantlon. Wliat 13
the sense of passing resolutions beret It Is
a farce. [ Applause. ) AVho ever hoard of a
candidate standing on two platforms i This
convention might as well p.iss resolutions
against raising tobacco in Nebraska and
against conductors eating onions just before
takinsr out their trains , i lie moved as un
amendment that the resolutions drafted by
the committee bo referred to the state con
vention and that the .cougi-essional conven
tion go on with its business. ca
Mr. Morrisscy regretted that it became his
duty to educate the editor of "tho only demo
crat lo daily in Nebraska" to the dlffcrcnco
hot ween n state and a federal question , A
congressman has nothing to do with state
questions , This convention represents the
First congressional dlstiict nnd not the state.
Air. Vaughn nsked Air. Morrisscy to point
out an instance where n candidate wan voted
for on two platforms. Whether the conven
tion represents the First ; .Second or Third
district , it means democracy , and the stnto
platform will express the wishes of the
democracy for the congressional districts as
well as for the state.
( J. W. Sticrnmn of Cnss called Mr. Vaughn's
attention to the fact that a platform was
adopted four years ago for the special use of
John A. MeSliano.
Mr. Alorrisscy also assured Air , "Vaughn
that never in the history of the state had n
congressional convention met without mak
ing a platform , This ilistrict may believe in
policies that do not commend themselves to
tuc democrats of other districts. For one ho
wanted to express his horror at the usurpa
tions of Speaker Heed.
The convention sat down on 2NIi' " "Vaughn
and carried Aiorrissov's motion to suspend
business.
On motion of Mr. Montgomery each dele
gation was empowered to cast the full vote of
its county. ,
After repeated efforts the convention sue-
ccccdedln adjourning for Uventy-livo min
utes , nnd the whole body tnado u rush by the
lonesome lomoimdo stands out into the street.
The onlv resolution handed up and read
was tlio following from a Sarpy delegate :
YIlllo cxpiussliu ° r uiiMturiiblo opposi

known as tliu original pickmu ; ; iledbloii.
On re.tsscmhling , Chairman Smyth of the
committee read the platform , which was long
and verbose.
W. S. Shoemaker of Douglas mndo an ex
cited speech opposing the plank favoring the
putting of sugar on tlio free list , and moved
to strike the word "sugar" from the resolu
tion.
tion.Then
Then Mr. Morrlssey got in another round
of talk In support of the committee's tvport ,
and Adam Strenglcin made several efforts to
get In an amendment to strike out "lumber"
also. The convention tried in vain to call
him down , but ho said Ilia say and took his
seat amid applause , although , there was a
unanimous failure to second his motion.
After n noisy , disorderly debate , -which the
chair made only an occasional feeble , f utllo
olVort to control , Mr. Montgomery shut elf
tlio How of talk by moving the previous ques
tion.
tion.Shoemaker's
Shoemaker's motion was lost by n vote ol
r > 0 ayes to 101 nays. Di > ufjis ! county voted U7
ayes and 17 navs.
After a wordy squabble about the correct
ness of the count , the plntfdrm as reported b }
the committee was adopted.
J P. Culhoun of Lancaster offered the fol
lowing resolution , not , be'said , to bo a part
of the platform to bo telegraphed to the New
Yorlt papers :
