figuratively snubbed the democratic p.irty in
a most refreshing in minor , and completely
ignored tlio notion of the latter in conven
tion hold hero Tuesday , when they
nominated throe ofllclals and left the rest
of the ticket blank. Ex-Ucpresentativo W.
II. Waldrou was made chairman , and noth
ing except the routine business was trans
acted until the afternoon. Then the court
room was paeucd , a largo number of demo
crats and republicans being present. The
report of the committee on resolutions was
presented , and when Dryan was praised for
his recent change in party the convention
turned itself into bedlam fora few moments.
Another resolution which was carried
with a whoop was as follows , and was sup
posed to refer to the county treasury scandal
of two years ago :

a vloiv to uniting thorn , The initiative was
taken at Cincinnati , a committee , of which
Uov. Father Carroll of Omaha is a member ,

committee from the Pacillo Jurisdiction.
The Joint lueoting will bo hold In San Fran
cisco early next spring.

The German day festivities in South
Omaha dlu not begin In earnest until about
8 o'clock last night. During the day the city
had a gala nppcar.incc , but not until evening
did the crown.5 begin to congregate on the
principal streets. Twenty-fourth street and
Is street were alive with humanity anxiously
wailing to witness the parade , which began
to niovo shortly after 8 o'clock. 'J ho mar
shals wore mounted on spirited steeds and
went charging about thu sheets gutting the
different divisions in line. The affair was
excellently managed throughout , and everyone
ono said that it was ono of the largest and
most imposing parades that was over given
in tliiH city. There were fully
1,000 persons in line , the procession being
about a mile long. The line of march was
from iwontv-lluhund w streets out I vvcnty-
fifth to M , then circling the principal streets
of the city , returning to Uauor's concert
hall whore the balance of the program was
fulfilled.
Mayor Walker and the city ofllci.ils were
In carriages. Tlio South Omaha Brewing
company hail four carriagcs/and one float ,
all elegantly lilted out in colors. In tlio do n
was Uncle Sam and a dolcgato from lh6
Fatherland. Jaskulok , thu cigar manufac
turer , had a float with his workmen aboard
makiiifrjiinlon label cigars as the wagon rolled
alonif. .lust buforo the parade started all tlio
decorations ! on tlio lloat burned off , destroy
ing the artistic work , but the damage was
slight.
The city baicory had a lloat with work
men making broad and pics. Henry Melss ,

prettiest carriages In the procession. There
were several loads of children from the
German schools. The broom factory was
represented .with an appropriate lloat. .luo
KggiUM was chief marshal of thu evening ,
and was ably assisted by Christ Tolmun ,
John Buggo , Gus Wareinau and Frank
Sehuelcr.
Chief Beckett and Captain Austin were
out with a platoon of police , and did splendid
work in protecting the crowd from nccl-
donts. The Seventh Ward Military band of
Omaha and the South Omaha National band
furnished the music. German societies
from both Omaha and Council Bluffs were
in the procession.
Bauer's concert hall was decorated from
the floor to the celling. Banners und llags ,
representing all thu German societies In
South Omaha and several from Omahawere
hung In profusion from every nook and cor
ner. The stugo was set with plants and
flowers and presented a sccno that was
beautiful.
Mayor Walker delivered the address of
welcome nnd turned the keys of the city
over to the Germans in a very neat speech.
The German spanker of thu evening was Mr.
F. J. Froltag of this city. Ills words were
greeted with applause.
Following the address was ft concert pro
gram , after which the celebration was con
cluded with a ball. It can aufuly be suld
