J. II. Kynor had the floor almost before anybody know It , and whispered n line or two to the convention In dulcet totios that drowned the lire Doll In the next block and Kent it from stampeding tlio crowd. Ho Bald : ' Two years , ago our connrcsslonal ticket wont down lo defeat simply because Douglas county was not in harmony with the rest of thu district. Wo can go ahead now nud nominate n candidate , but wo will have th I teal of the district acainst us , ror they will have nothing to sav In the mutter. It may bo a certain kind of politic ? to go nlmnd and do Just as you please , simply bo- canso you liuvo the power , but Is It sense !

If wo snub our neighbor counties In this wsv It will not only cost us votes in these counties for our congressional candi date , but will endanger our state ticket. If Duvo Mercer Is the uhoico of this county nud of this district , ho and his friends can wwt until tomorrow for that information. I bog the convention to go no further In this direc tion. Lot us stop right where we are. " "Veil , I kcss vou ton't know much npout dot , " vociferated Wlillum Alstodt , alias "Bismnrck , " of the Second ward.

" And what a torrillo racket that convention Old kick up tor the next few minutes. Alstodt tried to say something , but the crowd wouldn't let" him. The house be longed to Kynor Just then , and "Bismarck" cmildn't have talked It hu had ollcrod the convention $1,01)0 ) a minute. Tlioy llrnrkpiiail to Kynur. Kyncr's appeal won , and the announce ment of delegates by the wards was pro- eroded with. A row ut oucc developed in the Second , whore the two Mercer men insisted on naming a Mercer delegation , contrary to the wishes of the seven antl-Morcorites , trustlnc to Iho convention lo bnck thorn up Intl. For n whllo it threatened to disri.pt the convention , but 11 unify realizing that Uo was carrying things with too high a band , nnd fearing that Iho convention would rebel ncuinst it , Mercer ordered hK henchman to _ _ withdraw the obnoxious ilcliet and n com promise was finally agreed upon by Iho ward delegates. Ellor arose to remark , "Wo can avoid all thisi" "Thon don't try to run in any tnoro bulldozing - dozing tactics , " was tho"advcu ! promotly of fered by the chairman of the Second ward delegation , and Ellor once moro dropped into innocuous dcsuolude. FlKlit Hi tlio Ifirth Ward. Everything wont along lovely then until the Fifth ward was reached , when Iho old light botwoot Kyner and Nason manifested itself. Each had a ticket to present , nnd Kyuor declared : "Those other fellows boiled the caucus ticket and worked against it all duy long at the primaries. I like u tfbltor well onouub , but I don't want to get in bed with 'em.1 Nason appealed to the convention nnd said : "Tboy never gave a part of this delegation gationa chance to have niivlbins to bay about the makeup of that ticket. " Kynor wanted the convention to cheese be tween Nason and hinibolf. and it did so' in a hurry , the Mercer men fairly fulling over themselves In their hurry "to got back a whack at Kynor for. opposing their pet fichcmo a short tinio hutorn , nnd Nason's ticket was declared elected.

I was soon con firmed in ihU conclusion when Chairman Dave Mercer. Cnnlrman H'.cnnrd Smith and Treasurer Sudborouph mndo n demand on mo forlOUU to bo turned Into the treasury of the county committee. I positively re fused , lolling thorn of the plcdtro I had given and that Mr. Sudborough should go out and collect the assortment from tno county can didates. Mr. S. said ho had no tlnrj to nl- tend to It and hired Mr. liny wnrd nsnuub- sllluto lo do the workand | Mr. liayward was paid ? " . When the campaign ended a Joint session of the committee * wilt held nt tno 1'nxton. nnd It was shown that Mr. Sudborough still had outstanding SI , " 10. The nun tint. censured him for not maKIng the collections and n committee was appointed , consisting of Shot Iff Bennett , Judge Kllcr , Judge Ston- borg and one or two others , ID see the candi dates who had not pair ! . I do not know the results of tholr work , though I understand somn kind of n settlement has been made of the couuiv fund. But ibis is corlnln. the city central committee has never und any olllclal notice of ihe condition of the county fund. I liavo nsucd Chairman Smith to got mo ti statement of the county finances , but ho lofusud to do so. \VllllllK to Settle. TUB BKn',1 report states that ns far back ns last December I was "apparently anxious that no accounting should lake place. " On Ihc contrary , I assert that nt a Joint meeting of the committees nbovo referred to I pub- liclv notified iho members that 1 was ready for a ( Settlement ; 1 had the vouchers and chocks present , and showed them. Nothing moio was done until the early part of tins year , when the executive committee mot at ho Republican league headquarters. Atth.it mooting 1 had my vouchers and cheeks nnd notified tbo committee ihnt I was ready to sclilo , bul upon motion of Mr. Uoorgo fcjmlth iho mailer was referred lo iho auditing com- mlttco. The auditing committee never notified mete to nppear before tncm until a Icller from Mr. Wostberg wns forwarded to ma nt Lend City , S. L > . , notifying ino to appear Sunday , the 2Sth of August. I 'did , however , receive ono letter from Richard Smith several months before requesting mo to send the chocks to Iho atidlllng committee. I look no notice of his letter for several reasons. First , I met Mr. Wcstbergnnd Mr. Hedllold of ino com mitted ulmo.st every day. Again , 1 bad drawn checks in favor of Mr. Stmtti for J' j.fi'J ' , und subsequently when I demanded an accounting from him ho refused to give it , saying that ho had expended money In such a way that none of tbo commlltoo or public should know anything nbout It , whereas 1 had knowledge ihnt ho had Bquan- dercd tun funds at the Elks club nnd ether places mentioned in my remarks last Satur day evening to tbo central committee , nnd which ho did not dony. This fact and other circumstances hnvo led me to Icel that Mr. Smith in his aggresivo attitude toward mo was uiuleavorinir lo draw the lire oil' from himself. I liuvb always been ready to meet the auditing committee , but I do not consider that Mr. Smith had auy right to demand ray vouchers , as ho was not n member of that committee. -Not Out lor Tlinlr Ilviiltli. In Ihis conneclloa I may rolnlo Iho history of the demand for iho SI , QUO above referred lo , as it will Uo ot interest at this lime. I was Inviled lo Iho Elks club by ftUSmllb , to hnvo a game of high live with himself , Dave Mercer and Mr. Sud borough. I accepted the invitation 'and during the progress of the name Mr. Dave Mercer sitiijca c < l < li L I kliuuld etch , nac cli'dm tclth Mr. Sitilbi nniiili ; that they tveren t in pulilla forth tr health. Our festivities lasted lor about an hour , at tbo conclusion of which Mr. Sudborough drew a chccK for $10 < ut of Ih county fund In favor of Davo'Morcor , wlio paid the bills. JTbo following day . . .tbo demand , for 81,000 wns made upon me bv Dave Meacor , Dick Smith nnd T. 1C. Sudboroueh. I peremptorily re fused to pay the amount , which , vas llko nn Icoburg to our social and friendly relations , and from thai time on I received no further Invitations to the I'.lhs cluD. In regard lo Iho $5UO order in favor of Mr. Sudborouah , I hnvo this to say , ttiut it was turned over with n number of oilier orders ( not loss than fifty ) by Secretary Kelly soon after ibo election. I drew n check for that and all other orders in my hands on the 1-th of November , 1891 , and having drawn the checks I had a right to credit miself on the statement turned over to the auditing cotn- milloe. The signature of iho chairman on that order is similar to Hint on oilier orders. I will say that I had made up my mind not to deliver ihe $500 check If culled lor , but lo slate my reasons foe not doing so to the auditing committee. Thoru were some other cnecits which I nlso intended to treat in tbo same way until I know they were just claims. Hi ; CHmrgcB Snmn JMUtnkcH. TUB Bii's report says further that "Iho treasurer showed checks amounting to about $200 that had not been endorsed by the ' pnveos , " etc. , and "ho < ( Stuhl'wns ) unnulo lo account for Iho ramniuing amount of nearly ffiOO. and Iho cominillno was com pelled lo charpo it tip to him , " otc. The reporter who wrolo Iho foregoing slm- plv made a Plunder that Is self-evident on reading tbo report ol tbo auditing commit tee , daled September 1C , Ib'Jv ' , which states plainly , givlntr the. detailed figures that I showed un cashed checks for fSb'J , which with thu item of postage and the balance shown on my statement already In the hands ul the auditing commiilco , made the bnlnnco in mv Hands , us reported by the committee , of srsi.oo. Further on In the article of TUB BKK , the reporter draws another conclusion us fol- 14rs : "No ono pretends to believe that tbo chocks for payment of Urn claims nnlii t the cotnirutti'o ' have been allowed to remain in Stuht'H hands uncalled for uy Ibo creditors for nearly a year , the explanation being that tlio statesman has recently deposited Iho funds in iho bnnic to moot the bills and has drawn the chocks wllh the ancient date- marks to la 1(0 as much of thn CUI-MS as pos sible off hN record ns custodian of Iho cen tral eoimnlttcu'fl cash.

A resolution recommending tbo reopening of tbo training school was finally adopted by u majority of three , iu iho fuoo of exceed ingly bluer opposition , which developed the fact that Iho feeling ot unfriendliness to ward it was because of opposition to Iho man nor in which it tins been conducted in Iho past , ralhor than because of hostility to tbo school Itself.

Senator Hill prefaced his remarks by the assertion , "I am a democrat , " and then proceeded lo glvo his raasons for being one. The tariff question occupied the greatest part of Uls speech , nnd bo endeav ored to show wherein the democratic doc- trlno of "n tariff for revenue only , with in- cidonlul protection , " would provo n greater blessing to tbo country and Its poopio than Iho republican policy of prelection and reci procity. Ho quoted many nuthorllles to sus tain his position , among them G rover Cleveland. The existing tariff laws , ho declared , were oppressive nnd un just , and owed their existence to mis representation nnd fraud ; that they had Pecn enacted In the interest of a favored few to the detriment of Ibo many.

Ho next paid attenlion lo the "force bill , " declaring that the republican parly wns irrevocably commiltod to Its pasBage , and denounced it as a piece of political foolish ness only equaled by ills mendacity.

They know from whence Ihoir prosperity proceeds and are well couton ted lo sco it per- potualcd. "Now as for Ibo northwoslorn states , I don't believe tbo democrats will carry a single ono.

The speaker review od the history of the republican purl } ' , the principles of which , ho declared , nro us broad as the events of humanity and as im mortal as the uamos of Lincoln , Grant nnd Appomattox. Touching on the tariff Issues ho said that the prosperous condition of the country was duo to the protection that had been thrown about AmericansHo denounced the Inde pendent plank of a tariff for the expense of an economical management of tbe government - mont and said circumstances did not warrant a tariff for rcveuuo only nud followed the statement , up with a convincing argument. Mr.Vallehcnd referred to the history of the llnar.clal condition of the state aim Its rapid development lo twonty-livo yours and said it was duo to the wise policy of the re publican party by giving free homes to lls people. Ho said" : "Wo are on the verge of moral and material ruin I Such a statement. emanating from tno city of Omaha , twenty- live years of ago , with 1GS factories , the pro duct last year of which wns ? 5,000,000 , is a libal upon the prosperous business men of the stato. All iho industries of tbo country have revived , and Ino country has been the most prosperous of auy on earth. " What J'rotcctioii Una Done. Ho continued with historical evidences of the above statement. "Wo have created u market for our own products by protection , which built up industries in dolianco of cheap labor abroad , " ho said. "Forty-two tin manufactories are already the result of protection , whllo England , which bad a mo nopoly of the tin industrv , only had ninety- live. The republican party , by its legisla tion , has caused tbo enormous sum of Jl- 1240,847,017 to bo paid as pensions to union soldiers. " The money question wan handled in a masterly manner. On this subject hoxaid : "Thoro have been evils on hand from Adam down to tbo hour that Kom challenged me. The political party Jn power has been olatned for all tbo evils. In 1S9U tuo drouth brought into existence Iho people's party and secured a majority in both houses of the legislature. Taxes were bigb , tbo title to moat of the land In tao western counties was vested in the government , and expenses had to bo borne. Their first movement iu the state capital was to seek to obtain offices to which they had not boon elected , costing the people $9,700. When iho curtain dropped for Iho last tlmo on tbo scene of reform , a state senator made bis oscano from the avenging bands of bis constituents. "As a neighbor of Mr. Kom , I believe him to be a man of honor , out his public record was not such as secured any reform to gov ernment. His banking bill , had it become a law , would have aldod the capitalists of the country and his tree7 claim bill , had it become a law , would have been the means of many poor people losing their claims. " Ho continued to send coaler shots at Kom and iho audience roarod. Sir. lium'tt View of the Situation. Mr. Kom was introduced 'raid grea demonstrations. Tno statesman from Cus- tor county accepted Iho situation with a smile. Ho said it was not his purpose to condemn the country nor either of the par ties. Ho admitted the country had made great advancement , Put was not willing to accept the protective theory. It was due to thu energy of the American citizens and the great natural resources. Ho continued : "Wo are only on Iho verge of progress. Wo have developed wealth be yond any nation , but statisticians fail to say who owns it. Tlio dissatisfied are complain ing of this condition all over tbo land. If no wrong exists the people's party has no nils- Eion. So long us tbo evils of government exist I will bo a calamity howler. " Ho quoted the statement of Lincoln in the dark days of rebellion , in which ho said cor- portions were being ontbroiTed and tbo money power was being concentrated , Kern tickled Iho ox-soldlors by &aying that soldiers never received moro tuonoy than they deserved. "The Fifty-second congress , of which I was a member , made moro appro priations for the soldier than any other , " ho said. Hero ho dlgreisod and said mortgages bad got bold of the people and the bony fingers of tbo farmer were laboring to pro tect tbolr homos. Ho said mortgages were being canceled , but declared it was by shor- iuV sales. Ho reviewed the financial bltun- lion by figures that would make a voter fall back on bis nlgobru , Exclamations of "Give It to'em , " "Amun,1' "You bet , " etc. , came from the Independent part of the houso. Ho said it is a fact that wo are compelled to borrow a schema of tbo capitalists ts lllcb interest from tbo people and Intimated to his farmer friends that the low prico'of wheat is duo to the McKlnloy bill. Ropublicann gave tba railroad corpora tions land and did not enact laws to take It away from them as tboy did tbo farmer , ' Uotonclcd Ilia ICeconl. Ho said his record In congress was a matter - tor of official record and that ho would stander or fall by it. Heforrlng to the railroad bill ho said It could bo seen If desired. The crowd tiovvled , "Itoud it , " uut It came not , His banking bill he said would glvo the manage ment of tno people's money into tholr powor. Mr. ICom defined himself on the Picklor bill by saying ho objuctod to It because It pro vided that trco clulni holders could not acquire - quire a title after four years unless tboy were residents of tlui state. There were only nine independents in concress Uo faatd and if they had hud n majority they would have re duced taxation ono-third. Ho declared that u person could go into the balls of congress , talk about ibo American Jlng nnd get throuph any kind ot n steal nnd the tax payers would snltlo the bill. Thus Kern wandered for ono hour and fifteen mlu- utoi. utoi.Vvbltohcad closed the discussion in n short spocch nnd paralyzed the friends ot Mr. Kom , Ho ridiculed Koiu's statement that the government gave wild lands to homo- Moadors and then mndo n law to take it away from them nnd said that the action of the people's party hud driven capital out of the stnto , farmers could not borrdw money and Vho local land ofllco receivers wflro noti fied to rnrr.v such people over another year.

The mooting was hardly n compli ment to iho distinguished candidate , for Iho Ftinko opera bouso In which It was hold wu not full by any means. There was n cboerlois nrray ot empty scats In the front pnrt of the house , whllo the broad cir cling gnllorlnj contained but sixty-four men and boys. On the stagu when Ibo curtain rose were Mr. Morton , Mr , Sawyer undlhrcu reporters. Mr. Morton was Introduced by A. J , Sawyer , who unblustiliiKly predicted the trluuipbiint election of the man who was about to speak. Mr. Morton wns in good voice , nnd after n few casual remarks by way of Introduction bo launched Into bis well worn , tlmo honored frou trade spceob wllh which Iho people of Nebraska have been familiar ever slnco ho commenced to run for governor moro lhan a quarter ot n century ago. After expatiating upon the the blessings which would attend the adoption of free trade , Mr. Merion turned from fallacy to faot , nnd for upwards of an hour gave his uudlenuo ono of the clearest mid most logical discussions of Iho llnaucial Issues of Iho day llml h as bonu hoard In Lincoln fur perhaps many years. Ho slated at Ibo outset that whllo ho dif fered with tbo ropublicai.s on Ibo lurlff ho agreed with thorn upon ttio money question. Ho then oxprc.tscd his regret that ha wus compelled to ttiko issue with bis young friend. Congressman Brynu , but bo believed ho wns In line with his party. After this statement Mr. Morton exposed all tbo falla cies of Mr. Bryan on Ihosllvorauoalion. Allot' Iho beautiful slmcturos raised by Bryan were ruthlessly demolished by sledge ham mer blows. Holding up tbo bright pictures of Iho prosperity which Mr. Bryan tins promised should follow tlio free coinage - ago of silver , the bpoakei- scraped away Ibo paint and varnish and tore Iho canvas lo shreds. Ho assaulted every posl tlon , auswerod every argument , and exposed every fallacy ot the youug congressman , and the sumo fickle democratic audience that thrco wouksago in ihosamo house applauded Bryan's tree silver eloquence uulll Ihc roof was started , touighfapplaudcd Mr. Morton's to the echo. Of course Air. Bryan's ntuno was unmenttoned , but the audience appre ciated the fact all the moro. They were listening to ono half of a Joint detmto and they will await with oacer ex pectancy for Mr. Bryan to como forward with ibu other half. Mr. Morton denied that silver was secretly demonetized iu 1S7J I nnd quoted history and records to I provo that it was demonetised In 1S5U. Ho asserted that Iho free coimigo ol silver I would drive gold out of Iho United Stales nnd directly affect every farmer and labor ing man In the country. Ho denied that there was a demand for moro inonoy and as sorted that Iho people of Nebraska had 850- 000,000 on dcposll outside ot Ibocllies of Lin coln and Omaha. Free colnnco of silver , bo said , would Moxicanlzo the United States. But if Mr. Morton's roast of Bryan was severe his lashing of Gouoral Van Wyck and the people's indopanilont party was merci less. Ho asserted that the decline in the value of farm products In this counlry wna due lo Ibe workings of tbo homestead law , which had transformed the wilderness of western prairies inlo productive gurdatis , to the trebled urea of. farms- within the past quarter of -century , to the vast improvements in farm machinery by which one-man could now produce as much as six twonty-flvo years ago. The demand for products has not kept pace with the supply , and the values of farm products have de creased on account of thcso things. TUG profits have not disappeared , they have simply been transferred from the producer lo the consumer until today the world is hot ter fed and oftonnr than ever Pcforo in its history. / The success of Ibo alliance party this fal , asserted Mr. Morton , would drlvo eastern capital from the state und Irreparably injura thn credit of tbo state. It would mnan : tb. solute death to the best interests of the Unto. Mr. Merion also made a personal as sault on Senator Vnn Wyok , explain ing how the latter had secured bis land in Otoo county. Ho challenged any friends of Iho independent candidate ( o point to u single line of law lu- favor of tbo people that Had been supported t > y Vnn Wyclt. There was no word too severe In Mr. Morton's somewhat extrusive vocabu lary to apply lo Vnn Wyok and Iho parly of which ho is'lho leader. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Morton stated bis willingness to answer any question Ibat might bo asked him. Ono gentleman pro- pundod n scrloi of questions on the silver is sue nnd the answers were quick. docUlvo nnd convincing. Finally an excited individunl who claimed to have voted for Governor 13oyd two years ago , arose and asked Mr. Morton if ho would have vetoed the Nowberry bill. Mr. Morton endeavored to evade the question by saying that ho would do justice to tbo railroads and tbo poopla. The man refuted to accept Iho answer and persisted lit his pointed queries. Mr. Morton finally wi&ed eloquent nnd with swelling bosom an nounced that if nil Iho otllcos and salaries in Iho gift of the people of the state were rolled into ono and offered to him he would not ac cept them if by so doing bo hud to sacrifice his convictions of right. Ho would make no specific promises , ho said , oven if by so do ing ho could bo olccted tomorrow. 1'itrty I.oUni ; ( .round. BUTTON , Neb , , Sopt.,19.
