cil's committee on viaducts and railroads , re
ceived the following letter yesterday from
General Manager Holdrego of the B. & M , :
OMAHA. Fob. 10 , 1892. Mr. Hoi I'rlnoo : Un
derstanding that von uro chairman nf u com
mittee of the elty council on viaducts , I bee to
call your attention to u contract made uo.
twuen the city of Omaha , the Union I'uelflo
and the Hurllnxton Kallroait companies nt the
tlmo the Sixteenth street viaduct was Inillt ,
( luted 1'ohriinry 1 , leMl. You will notlco that
this contract places certain restrictions upon
the proposed ulans relative to Kirteuntli
street , and Unit the Sixteenth street , vltuiuut
wii8 constrnotud on plans and hpcolfloutlonii
agreed to by the elty. It Is our understand
ing that the railroad compnnlcN shoulu not bo
expected In the future to pay any part of re
pairing , nuUiitiilnlnu' or constructing a via-
uuet on Sixteenth street. Yours truly ,
. U. W , Hoi.iniKOB.
The apreement of Fobruay 1 , 18SO , pro
vides for the building of viaducts ou Elev
enth and Sixteenth streets , and tbo rltv
binds Itself to close Sixth , Twelfth and Fif
teenth streets. The contract makes no pro
vision for the maintenance or reconstruction
of the viaducts , and Mr. Holdrogo argues
that the railroads uro not holdcn for such ex
pense. He says tbo railroads faithfully ful
filled the terms of tbo contract , and ha holds
that when the viaducts were turned over to
the city the latter assumed their mainten
ance the sumo as though they wora ordinary
streets.
The OIVMKlit Lecture.
Mr. T , W < Blackburn spoke at the Young
Men's Christian association last ulgnt upon
the topic "What Is to Become of the In-
dluul" Tbo audience was not large , but the
talk was interesting and the bearers were ap
preciative. Mr. Blackburn does not accept
tbo theory that the Indian race is to become
extinct. He thinks it will be absorbed into
our civilization , and tbo red. man will iu a
generation or so be as proud of his American
citizenship us the old chiefs now are of their
traditions. Education In the English lan
guage and in the industries of civilization
will bring about this result.

headquarters ana the delegates , aspiring can

began to arrive early In the day. In fact a
score of lologatos anil other party leaders
had come in Friday ovoninc and camped on
the spot.
Lieutenant Governor Majors , in a bran
new blue shirt and a Simla that vas child
like and'bland was on the ground Friday
evening. Walt Soeloy , secretary of the com
mittee , also drifted in FrUay evening and
becan talking.
F. A. Uorrington of Alliance , one of the
aspirants for nomination on the republican
ticket for congress iu the Sixth district , soon
became the center of a group and inado
friends as the shining houw sped away.
M. E. Cotter know several things that
others wore glad to learn and tuny gathered
about him to hoar his opinion of the approach
ing campaign ,
James Whltehead , ho of the silver voice
and hearty grasp of the hand from Ouster
county , drifted in at early dawn and his con
gressional aspirations became tbo topic of
conversation among several of the delegates.
Kearney \\V1I ltepre enled.
The citizens of Koarnny and particularly
tbo republicans of that vigorous young city ,
came In companies and platoons , They
wanted to take the state convention home
with them , and from' the very outset they
appeared to moot with' very little opposition ,
The majority of the delegates favored the
Idea of holding the ilm state convention at
Kearney. The calling of this convention
and its location were ronlly the two main
points to bo attended to at this mooting of
the committee. Tno first convention will beheld
hold for the purpose of selecting four dole-
gatos-at-largo to tho" > natlonol convention
at Minneapolis. Thfe'following gentlemen

Some l > lltef llc& of Opinion ,
It became evldenVsomo weeks ago that
there would bo a' difference of opinion
among tbo delegate * JR J to the basis ot re
presentation in BolccUiin.tlio delegates to the
state conventions , i , On.e of the very first
things that the flalegatos began talking
about was tbo baslap.trftl > roentation. Homo
wanted to go back to.fthe vote on Hustings
In 1690. nxj'
They argued that thaivotc of Judge Post
was hardly a fair test of tbo republican vote
in all parts of the state because ho bad no
competitor running against .him on tbo dem
ocratic ticket. The same argument \vus
urged against making thovoto upon.Marplo
the basis of representation. Others held
that tbo vote upon Judge Post was a fair test
ot tbo republican strength throughout the
siato and the delegates to the state conven
tion should be selected upon that basis.
Touching the question of choice for presi
dential timber there seemed to ba but ono
sentiment , everybody was for Harrison.
Senator Bouthorland , P , J , Hall , T. C.
Calahan and others thought there could ba no
doubt of too complexion of , the Nebraska
delegation. It would go solid for
Harrison.
J. T. McPheoley of Mindea and wife ar-
rived omtho morning1 train. Mr. MoPhooloy
was looking after nis chances for the congres
sional nomination in the Fifth district.

On motion of Mr. Simmons of Seward the
committee voted to take up'first all business
of a public nature and then go Into executive
session , excluding all who were not members
of tbo committee.
Several communications from republican
leagues and from republicans of Kearney and
Buffalo county were road , asking and urging
th2 committee to name Kearney as tbo place
for holding the state convention , nt which
delegates at largo to the Minneapolis convcn-
'
tlou'shall bo nominated.
J'liifi ! mill Time Fixed.
Mr. George O'Brien of Omaha moved that
Kearney bo named as the place for holding
the convention.
Mr. Pierce of Lincoln heartily seconded
the motion.
Malor Brown of the Kearney Hub also
seconded the motion. Ho supplemented the
second by saylne that , with the state conven
tion held In the central part of the state , the
republican party could win back tbo thou
sands of voters who had gone off after false
.gods . ,
Captain McArdlo of Lancaster county
seconded the motion in a vigorous manner.
Tbo motion was carded by a unanimous vote
and was followed by applause.
The committee then took up the matter of
llxliig the limo for holding the convention.
Mr. P. I. Hull moved that the convention
bo hold on the last Wednesday in April ut 11
o'clock. The motion was seconded ,
I Mr. Brown of Kearney suggested that
preparations bo made for a grand republican
love toast and rally on tbo evening of tbo
convention day , lie hoped to see the central
committee secure some man or men
of national reputation to speak to
the people. Kearney would put
on campaign pulnt , would bo In gnlti attire ,
would furnish muslu and banners and onthu-
siutmi enough to make the occasion a hum
mer , mid it would scare tbo democrats and
Independents out of a year's growth and on-
tbuso the whole republican party in Ne
braska.
The motion fixing tha data for the state
convention on Wednesday , April 7 , wns car
ried , und then the executive committee and
tboBuiIalo county central committee were
requested to secure speakers of national
reputation to address tbo grand mass moot
ing to bo hold tha same day as tbo conven
tion.
Ill Kxocutiva Session. '
The committee then went Into executive
session and the reporters and others who
were not commlttoetnon retired ,
Tbo first matter taken uu was to decldo
tha basis upon which delegates ) were to bo
selected to attend tbo state convention.
There was but very little discussion upon
the matter as the majority of the committee
favored the vote on Attorney General Hast
ings as a basis , A motion to this effect was
passed with practically no opposition.
Then Mr. Brad U. Slaughter , who is a
member of the committee by reason of bis
being secretary of .tho Stuto Republican
league , offered a resolution to recommend to
tbo state convention that the now state cen
tral committee bo elected at tbo Kearney con-
volition. This resolution created a greatdeal
of discussion , lasting for more than an hour.
Those who opposed It held that it was not
within tbo province of the central committee
to take u hand iu the creation 01 a new cen
tral committee. That was a work that prop
erly belonged to the state convention.
The supportersjof the resolution hold that
tbo sooner the now state central committee
was elected the better , and that to wait until
the second state convention ooloro electing
this new committee would endanger the
work of the campaign. Tbo resolution was
defeated.
Another resolution was oflered and passed
which shut out all proxies at the state con
vention. None but the elected delegates or
their alternates will be allowed to vote in the
convention.
County central committees were urged by
another resolution to bestir themselves iu
coltln ? good republican literature circulated
in larger quantities among tbo roadcrs , both
in the towns and In the country.
