Prp.slilont Thomas' Address.
Gentlemen of the Congress : I am not Inson-
Blblo to the distinguished honor you have con
ferred on both myself and the state I repre
sent bv solojtina inn as you rnermtinont pro-
nldlng o Ilk or. I would fuu | more at Home ,
liuwovor , on the lioor than In the ohalr as thu
director ever u deliberative body , I wo'uld
Imvo proforioil that you had selected a man
Well In the councils of thu concress and of
national rouutution to rule upon thu ques
tions you aiu about to consider.
It Is said that this body represents
a now empire , and you do , and all
thnt Is IniMiiloil In that comprohon-
Bivo term. Scarcely a half century has passed
Hincu that unequalled statesman and erudite
pchiilar , Daniel Webster , nuulo the Initial
speech in behalf nf a postal route between tbo
Missouri anil thu far oil Columbia , and in his
braphlu picture of this vast country
ho referred to It as an Inhosplta-
| ilt > desert. unlnliabltablo to olvlllrod
tnnn ; composed of shiftllug Rands
nnd Know-clad and Inaccessible mountains ,
tenanted only by the wild beust and wilder
jnnn : that the Pnolllo coast from the llrltlsh
possessions to South America contained noth
ing In thoshnpoof a harbor ; wn.s but an In
terminable waste of barren and rooky high
lands. Hut a western Httiteaimin , trom his
koine In St. l.oula , promised something far
flllferent from what was to bo oxpeolod from
'Vobslor'u uncanny dosorlutlnn. Ho saw to the
west a road and n pathway to a new
timplro. wnaro the fuluro generations ,
in their transactions with oriental ooirtmoreo.
AvonUl thrive and prosper as no people on
earth. Today , including To.ias and the la-
Icotus. there uro twelve states unit two terri
tories , with a population of IMXM.MX ) nf people ,
null IIO.OUU miles of railroad in this tninsmlss-
isslppl domain ; It Is the seat of the brawn and
the brain , of the sturdy resolution and unit 1s-
tnuyod ambition of an enlightened and glor-
Jous country , whoso Indomitable eltl/ens have
developed UH wonderful le.sourcci until they
Ovcced thu credulity of ordinary man , and
given us an era of prosperity unexampled In
the history of thu world.
In the soaroh for precious metal , miners
Imvo been attracted from every quarter of
the Klotm ; they buvu crossed thu desert ,
braved the hostility of truculent savages ,
climbed thu mountain slopes , and penetrated
thu gloomy canyons In nuest ot this auriferous
treasure : It waa the rucgod spirits who IIrat
planted the banner of this new empire aloiu
thil 1'aelllo const nnd the Itocky mountains
the bravo and sturdy spirits who opened the
> vuy to a new and a higher civilization. The
domain wo represent embraces thu entire
wldili of the north temperate rene , wherein Is
found every precious metal that Is potent
enough to tempt mini , every product
that brings reward , nnd us constant
intor-commurelal progress passes through
UH channels , oaah stuto sees just
Low dependent It Is on the other , and the
necessity of u common cause and common
purpose. The 11 rut Irrlsutlim congress was
Iio.il In ' 81 , but since that time thousands and
thousand ? of acres of land Imvo been re-
.deemed , and this work culminated In thu deep
water conventions In which our Toxua
neighbors are Interested : but u glance ut the
panorama they hu > o bore land
the speaker pointed to a huge map

that there no longer exists thu phantom of

tories to statehood.
Mr. Kclloy of ICr.nsns introduced a resolu

for newspaper publication und have them
printed upon slips convenient to mall to the
newspapers of the country.
Mr. Cochrano of Missouri Introduced a resolution
elution looking toward the consolidation of
the Western Commercial congress , which
mot In Kansas City , with the Transmissis
sippi Commercial congress.
Kor and A alnnt Free Silver.
Mr. Crows of Kansas offoroa a resolution
oiiDOslng the free nnd unlimited coinage of
silver as boln ? calculated to unsettle tho.
finances of the country. The resolution was
received with applause from the anti-free
silver men.
Mr. Bushnell of Nebraska introduced a

mississinpi states , asking that a representa
tive citizen of the trans mississtppi states be
appointed upon the Interstate Commerce

Mr. Buchinan of Colorado then introduced

ot applause then , and right vigorously did

lion. T. J. Mnhoncy Talks.
The order of the day having boon disposed
of , the chairman then asked the delegates
their further pleasure.
Dr. Miller asked the privilege of Intro
ducing a citizen of Omaha to address the
congress. The request was irrauted and Dr.
Miller escorted Hon. T. J. Mahoney to the
static nnd Introduced him to the chairman.
President Thomas then introduced Mr. Ma
honey to the assembly and he spoke for half
nn hour upon the uuestion of production and
overproduction.
Mr. Mahoney hold that the cry of over
production bringing hard times was nil moon
shine. There has boon no such thing as over
production. A bounteous production of the
uocossurlos and luxuries simply maiia it pos
sible for moro people to enjoy to a greater ex
tent the good things of life. What pcoplo
called overproduction was simply unequal
production. Ex-Sonator Ingalls said that
there was no law which had prevented
him from becoming as wealthy and in-
iluontial as Jay Gould. Mr. Mahoney
thought thcro were laws that had been Inim
ical to the prosperity of certain classes. The
opportunities had boon made unequal by
laws which souilit to manage tbo business
of the people when thay should have been
permitted to manage their own affairs. Ho
bellovud In the repeal of these laws which
pressed heavily upon sorno cl.isses.
Ex-Governor Hubbard of Texas was called
for , but excused himself by saying ttiat ho
expoctd to say something Inter upon some of
the topics that were expected to bo pre
sented.
Colonel Martin McGInnls of Montana was
called out. Ho was pleased , ho said , to moot
will : so many of the representative men of
tha great wost.
Vnlco from Montana.
Colonel McGiunls said ho could , ho believed -
lioved , claim a place among the frontiersmen
of the trans.-alsslsslppl slates , nnd ho was
proud to bo Included in tbelr ranks. Ho had
come west after the war and cast his lot with
Montana. Ho had helped lo light Icdians
und hal helped to defend the horolo men. who
made it possible to llvo iu the west against
the morbid utlacks of the nllorod philanthro
pists of the east who were always ready to
condemn the killing of an Indian. Ho said
the dawn of a great and glorious day for the
west had Just begun. Ttio time was not fur
distaitt when the great valley of the Mis
souri would bo the very center of population
and the coaler of wealth la these United
Slates.
The sprakor Ihon spoke of the Interest
that , nil the central und woslorn siaioa bad
in the dcnp water harbor movement ou the
shores of Iho Gulf of Mexico. Ho hoped to
sco the great Missouri river Improved so
thnt U should bear upon its ample bosom the
vessels that carry the wealth of the land to
the gro.it markets of the world.
Tlion turning to the question ot free silver
coinage , Colonel McGinnls made a vigorous
speech of llvo minutes , in which ho declared
that silver should be placed side by sldo with
gold as the circulating medium of the land.
Ho touched the irrigation question and In a
general way condemned unjust taxation and
unjust laws. Colonel McGinnU closed hi an
eloquent eulogy upon the lives of the great
frontiersmen of tbo country , and was heart
ily applauded. +
Uollovcs III Silver Coinage.
Colonel Cochrauo of Missouri , wns then
called to the stage. Ho began bv sketching
graphically the great resources of tbo states
represented by the delegates present. Ho
hold that there wiw no clashing of Interests
batwcett the east and tha wast. It waa only
a misunderstanding.
The speaker then took up the silver ques
tion. Ho held that the United States had
nothing to fear In adapting free silver coin
age. "Tho United States , ' ' ho sold , "put
moro silver Into a dollar than any country on
earth. " Looking to Europe for argu
ment In favor of the double
standard , Colonel Cochrano took
up to the relative strength , lluanclnlly , of
Franco nnd England and said that Franco
was the most substantial money center ot
the earth. When the Baring Bros , failed ,
where did the Bank ot England go for goldi
To franco , a country where slver wns
recognized as money ou an equal footing
with gold. According to the arguments ad
vanced bv thow ) who or/poso tha free roluaga
of allvor England should have gouo to Ger
tunny or the United States wboro the .single
gold standard prevailed. But England
turned to a double standard country to bor
row gold.
Coming back to the United States , the
speaker sola that the pcoplo had prospered
detplto the wretched laws that Imd boon
enacted. Th > ) financial policy of. the United
States slnco the war had boon ruinous nnd
oppressive to the pcoplo. Thcro was plenty
of money Immediately after the war , but
when , reconstruction cnmo the money In cir
culation had to bo ulvldcd up with the south
ern states , and It was not sufllciont for the
whole country. The circulation per capita
had shrunk so that there was not money
enough In the country for the transaction of
business. The dull times In the west were
very largely attributable to the fact that
there was nol enough money in circulation.
lie hoped to sen the convention adopt resolu
tions upon thu free silver problem that would
carry no uncertain sound to the eastern
states.
Colonel Cochrano thoii turned to the subJect -
Ject of protection. He doctored that what
was called protection wns robbery. The
manufacturers of the cast seemed to think
that they were the masters of the pcoplo.
Ho denounced the cry of help for Infant In
dustries as being only a subterfueo for con
tinued oppression upon the part of the manu
facturers.
Committee on Constitution.
When Colonel Cochrano had ilnlshod his
speech the chairman appointed the following
commlttoo on constitution and by-laws :
Walter Grcsham of Texas , J. II. Koalloy of
Iowa , tlowell Jones of Kansas , J. L. Blttcn-
gor of Missouri and Aaron Wall of Ne

The con press then adjourned to moot nt 10

The Omaha lynching still furnishes ma

editors. Hespcctlng the testimony of tbo
deputy coroner who swora that Joe Coo the
negro , died , not from hanging but from
fright , Chicago doctors admit that fright
might cause death.
Dr. Davis of 75 Madison street saldt "If
you want to know whether It Is possible to
frighten a person to death , I would say cer
tainly , for I have soon several such coses my

was hanged. I don't undertake to glvo an
opinion on tbo merits of ibis peculiar case ,
but If you want to know whether a man muy
die from fright , 1 sayyos. My grandfather
had a comrade iu the war of 1313 who was
killed with the spent air from a cannon ball
on the Hold of battle. Ho felt the force of
tha air and dropped lllco a shot. That man
was frlghtonod to death. "
Dr. Hayes and several others also expressed
their belief In the fright theory.
Commenting on the case the Post says :
Surely since the river mentioned by Ham-
lot's uravodizgorcumo to the unhappy victim
of melancholy nnd drowned him there has
been nosneh case ot accounting for something
by a cause nn more connected with It than a
moon with green cheese. Dr. Alison , assistant
head of the erownor's quest dcparlmont in
Omuha , should have been christened Daniel.
The News says :
Omaha's deputy coroner has testified that
the negro whom they hanged out there the
other day died of fright. Of cotirio this will
simplify things for the Ivnchors. for a man
has no business todlo of fright , oven If sev
eral hundred men are tramulti ! ! on him while
M'veral hundred others uro pulling onaiopo
that's fastened around Ills nock. Under all
circumstances the Omnhalaii is supposed to
preserve his courage. The negro's back was
broken In three phicos and the deputy core
ner's theory Is that ho died of the fear that ho
was to rocolvo bodily harm.

! Whatever may bo the cause , the western
roads running 'into Chicago are just now
having n lull in their business. Six weeks
ago tnor expected by this time , to have such
a blockade of freight on their resDcctivo
lines as would drive them almost to distrac
tion to eel it raised and to keep tbo trafllc
moving wilhout friction'dr delay. Instead of
tnis they find Ihemsolves able lo lake care of
nil Ihe business Ihoy can secure quilo com
fortably. No freight car.liynitio has yet ma
terialized , nor has any otucr event happened
to cause Inem anxioly on'h'ccount ' of super
abundance of business The fact is that

"Baron" Henry Hach of the defunct Min
neapolis club is In tbo city to attend a moot
ing of the American association Thursday.
On his return ho will begin work toward re
organizing tbo Western Base Ball associa
tion. Ho Is confident that a. league can bo
made to succeed In the northwest
If properly conducted. Ho ox-
jK'cts Kansas City to break Into the
American association , butls rather glad of It ,
as the city on the ICiuv , with Its fancy salar
ies , established n standard too high for the
Western entirely. Hach expects Milwaukee
to go buck Into tbo Western. Its experience
in the American association has been a costly
one and it is now unable to pay Its players.
Mr. Hnch thinks a circuit to comprise Den
ver. Lincoln , Sioux City , St. Paul , Minne
apolis , Milwaukee , Duluth and some
other city would bu a winning one. The
salaries , however , must coma down , and n
regular system of retrenchment bo practiced.

In accordance with nn opinion londorod by

commissioners has issued Instructions to
clerks and Judges in thu coming election for
county olllcors to the effect that "only such
women as have received a certificate of nat
uralization from some court of record in this
state prior to January 1 , 18"0 , are entitled to
register. " The now Australian ballot law ,
under which the election la to bo hold , pro
vides that women may vote for superintend
ent of schools , but its working is such as to
admit of the construction given it. Under
this ruling the women are disfranchised , as
there uro not In all probability a half dozen
women in the city and county who can cast
their ballots under the ruling mado. Some
of the women have already organized to fight
for their rights under the law.
