WASHINGTON Juno 12. II. 0. Havc-
meycr , president of the American Sugar
refinery , has responded to the summons of
Bcnator Gray's Invcstlgallng cotnmlllce and
npcparcd before the committee today ; to
give testimony.
Mr. Havemoyer denied the published state
ments upon which .tho Ivestlbatlon Is based
both ns to contributions to campaign funds
nnd the demands of the trust that It should
have protection In the tariff for past favors.
Ho talked quite freely about his visit to
Washington while the tariff bill was pending
before the finance commltlco and
eald that ho had talked with sev
eral senators In the Interest of
the proper protection of the refining In
terests , among them Senators Hill , Gorman
nnd Smith. The two latter , he said , had
promised to help him , but Senator Hill had
given him no satisfaction nt nil. Ho snld
the present tariff bill was an unsatisfactory
ono to the refiners , because the differential
of one-ellh of a cent was not sufficient to
afford all the protection wh ch their Inter
est should have received. He confessed that
he had ndvccaled the ad valorem syslcrn , and
was grallfied lhat It had been adopted to
the extent that It was , but even with this
concession he declared the schedule was fur
from BOllsfactory.
Mr. Havemeyer denied all knowledge of
speculation In sugar stocks by United States
ecnutors.
NEVER SAW MR. CLEVELAND.
Mr. Havemeyer was asked about the pub
lished stalcment that he had either on Mr.
E. H. Benedict's yacht or at Greenwich ,
Conn. , been In consultallon with Mr. Cleve
land and Mr. Benedict In 1892 , after Mr.
Cleveland's election for the presidency , about
the sugar Interests a $ affected by the
Hawaiian treaty. To this Mr. Havemeyer
Bald Ihero was "not ono word -of truth. " Ho
also declared no such consultation had ever
occurred at any time or place. He added
that ho did not know Mr. Cleveland and had
never seen him. Furthermore , he hail
never exhanged a word with Mr. Benedict on
the subject or any other business
matter. He said ho had como
to Washington early In March
after the tariff bill had passed the house ,
with the hope of getting a hearing betoor
the finance committee and had gone to Sen
ator Vest to ask If It would not be possible
to secure a hearing. Mr. Vest Eald no , but
agreed to allow him to explain the sugar
question to him ( Vest ) Individually , nnd he
had done so. He then explained his inter
view with Senator Jones at Senator Cam-
den's rooms and with Senator Cattery at
Senator Brlce's house. He had talked with
Jones about three-quarters of nn hour about
the different systems of levying duty and
about the cost of refining sugar In this nnd
other countries. He snld ho had been In
vited to Senator Brlco's nnd asked by the
senator to meet Senator Ceftery , nnd when
lie met him merely went over the argument
for an ad valorem duly. Mr , Havermeyer
Bald he had gone-io the capital with Terrel ,
but tiot for the purpose of seeing senators
or representatives.
"We were Idling around , " ho said , "sort
of spectators. "
MADS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
Mr. Havcnleyer made some startling statc-
mcnts-toward the close of his testimony. Ho
wns asked about the contribution of the
Sugar trust to the campaign funds of po
litical parties , nnd snld the records of the
trust showed that such contributions were
made , but they were made to the state com
mittees.
Ho wns asked It the contributions of the
wore given to both parties In the same state
and replied : "Oh , no. "
"How do you arrange It ? " he was asked.
I fcf * "Well , New York Is a democratic state
r v nnd wo glvo to the democrats there and to
the republicans In Massachusetts. Wo never
glvo to the minority. "
"Did you contribute to the anti-snappers ? "
asked Senator Lodge.
"Oh , no ; I am quite sure on that point ;
nothing to the antl-snanpers. "
Mr. Havemeyer could not remember the
contributions by the Sugar trust to the dif
ferent campaign funds , but ho promised to
furnish them If ho could got them.
Cordmoyer was called after Mr. Havemoych
had finished. Ho gave llttlo or no Informa
tion. _

WASHINGTON , Juno 12. There Is some
prospect of Important changei In the In
ternal revenue part of the tariff bill and of
further modifications of the Income tax fea
ture. The finance committee has been con
sidering a suggestion looking to the drop
ping cf nil the administrative part of the
bill , wh'ch would result In leaving the pres
ent administrative low on the stalute books.
The question has been In further considera
tion today , the long speeches made on the
floor of the senate rendering It unnecessary
for the members ot the committee lo bo

The committee Is also undecided what , It
any changes , will be made In the Income

Hoimtor Hour A kH to Itavo the Present
Duty Kntiilncd.
WASHINGTON , June 12. At the opening
of the senate today Mr. Chandler , republican ,
of New Hampshire made some brief observa
tions In support of the resolution ho Intro
duced Just before adjournment last night ,
calling on Iho secretary of the treasury for
all Information In his possession rcpurdlng
the extent to which the "padrone" system
prevails. Mr. Chandler expressed the opinion
lhat ono of the most potent , agencies In the
nnnlhllatlon of the padrone system would be
the enlistment ot a scnllincnt adverse to It
among the heller and wealthier classes of
Italians. The resolution was adopted.
Several bills of minor Importance were
taken up from the calendar and passed , In
cluding ono to provide for the fees and com
pensations of the circuit and district courls
of Ihe judicial districts of North Dakota and
to amend the act dividing that Judicial dis
trict.
The consideration ot schedule K , wool and
manufactures of wool , of the tariff bill ,
which was reached when the senate adjourned
last night , was taken up. Mr. Peffer offered
an amendment transferring wool , hair of
the camel , goat , alpaca and other like ani
mals on- the free list In the bill to the duti
able list , restoring the Mcjdnley bill classi
fication , but scaling down the rates prac
tically one-half.
After Mr. Peffer had offered his amend
ment , under an agreement made yesterday ,
the senate went back to paragraph 98 , Impos
ing a duty of ' 10 per cent on spectacles , gog
gles , opera glasses and other optical Instru-
mcnls , which was passed over at the re
quest of Mr. Hoar.
Mr. Hoar moved to Increase Ihe rale lo CO
per cent ( the present rate ) and took the
floor In advocacy ot his amendment.
After some general remarks Mr. Hoar de
scribed the economic condlllons cf the town
ot Southbrldgc , Mass. , whose 8,000 Inhabit
ants are for the most part dependent upon
the large works there of the United Stales
American Opllcal company. Speaking of
Iho operatives In this town , he snld that
they received twice the wages and consumed
twice as much as persons performing the
same labor abroad. "I do not claim , ho
" for South-
said "any special pre-eminence
bridge. H Is a fair typo of an American
community. Massachusetls has slxly-tour
others much like her. What I say of her I
say of all. She has her national banks , her
savings banks , her town hall , the state
house of her llttlo republic. I cannot con
ceive nny good reason why American stales-
manshlp should not be directed toward fos
tering and encouraging communities like
this. ' The junior senator from Texas vis
ited that neighborhood two or three years
ago and promised to be the Moses that
should lead them Into the promised land of
paradise flowing with milk , honey and free
coal.
coal."The senator from Texas professes to be
personally In favor ot keeping his promise.
Rut ho tells us ho Is between the devil and
the deep sea , I suppose the devil of democ
racy and the deep sen of popular Indignation.
I do not think ho Is In any danger of drown
ing. I think , from the wall of anger and
rage which he uttered when the word 'sugar'
-was pronounced the other day In his enrs
that it Is qulto manifest who is gelling him
nnd that all tha use ho will be able to make
of his good Intentions is to make a pavement
for his future dwelling place. "
" " continued the senator
"You promised , ,
"that" as a partial equivalent for the damage
which .you would do you would glvo them
frco coal , free wool , free lumber and free
sugar. I do not understand that this premIse -
Iso Is to bo kept. Senators wlp ) have been
profuse in th'elr promises for frea raw ma
terial tell us that they cannot keep their
promise to put coal on the tree list because
they cannot pass the bill If they do. Why
not ? Do you pretend that the bill would
not pass the house ? It has como over from
that body with coal on the free list and the
party majority unanimous In Its support.
Are you going to lose any democratic' votes
here ? If HO , who arc they ? Both the
senators from West Virginia , n great coal-
producing state , the senators from Alabama
and I think both senators from old Virginia
have almost Indignantly disclaimed this im-
putntlon. Who Is It that Is constraining the
somewhat ostentatious virtue of the senator
from Texas , the senator trim Arkansas and
the senalor from MUsourl ? The true rea
son Is not that you arc afraid ot losing the
measure hero tor which you say a majority
of the American people declared Itself in
1892 , but because you are afraid ot losing the
votes of West Virginia at the pells hereafter
If you keep your promise. I wish lo call
allenlton to the facl that these democratic
principles are not violated , the democratic
pledges broken , the alleged command ot the
American people not dUcbeyed for want of
democratic votes In the senate. It Is for
fear of public Indignation expressed In the
elections. You are ready enough to strike
at the Industry of any northern state from
which democracy has no hopes in the
future. "
In conclusion the senator said : "Tho power
which Is to pass thh bill Is a coalition be
tween the aristocrat and the populist ; but
the spirit Is lhat of the ether slave master
and Iho spirit which would make war on
property , on frugality , on honest labor , on
lionost , moderate earnings. The alliance Is
botwcrm Ihc t-plrlt ef sectlonallim of the
south and that spirit nt Die north which
never has known Ihe Impulse of n true na
tionality. It prolects by enormous duties ,
upon which It piles enormous bounties , Ihe
Industry of Iho houtU and the Ill-gotten gains
of the trust. IUarfarii Is upon the tav-
Ings banks , upon the Ufa Insurance , upon tlio
yeoman , upon the farm nnd upon the work
man In Ihe mill. The power which Is be
hind it may seem to secure for Itself a brief
victory , but the men who are wlcldfnt ; It
know well that It Is doomed. Its success
will bo us bhort-llvcd us It U mischievous.
It may List for a day , a year and perhaps for
a presidential term. But In the end the
Issue ot this contest cannot bt > doubtful. Tito
stars In their courses fight against It. The
spirit of the American people U against It.
The spirit of honest labor , Iho spirit of
American liberty , arc on our side. And In
the future , as In the past , God gives to lib
erty nothing but the victory. "

Many operators who opposed the compromise
say they will not abldo by the result , but
It Is the general opinion among friendly
operators that the agreement will put an
end to the Importation of nonunion men by
the operators In the thick vein district for
the reason that the hiring of deputies will
bo too expensive when coal begins to de
cline In price.
Organizer Harris says the settlement Is a
disappointment to the miners , and , whllo
ho does not expect them to refuse work at

Immediately call on President Cleveland tor

"Tho story Is utterly without foundation.

LINCOLN , June 12. ( Special to The Bee. )
Although the program said 10 o'clock , It
was not until nearly 11 o'clock that Presi
dent Lansing of the Nebraska State Lcagua
of Republican clubs called the l.GOO dele
gates to the state convention to order. The
Lansing theatre was packed , even the stnge
being crowded with several hundred dele
gates. Rev. Byron Bcall of the Third Pres
byterian church of Lincoln asked divine
blot-sing for the deliberations of the conven
tion , nnd then the big gathering set up a
cheer as President Lnnslng stepped forward
and delivered nn address of welcome. It
was full of enthusiasm , sprinkled with splco
nnd frequently Interrupted by cheers nnd
laughter. In closing President Lansing made
n most pertinent suggestion in regard to the
deliberations of the convention. "This con-
vei.tlon Is called for but two distinct pur
poses , " said he. "First , we ore to renew
our allegiance to the undying principles of
the republican party. Second , wo are to se
lect delegates to ono of the grandest aggre
gations of republicans this country has ever
seen , Wo propose to send a delegation to
Colorado that will simply paralyze the part
of the state that Governor Walte has neg
lected to paralyze.
"But farther than this I hope and trust
that this convention will not seek to go. I
hope no Ism or schism will arise , or that no
question will be brought hero that properly
belor.gs to another convention. We arc not
In the platform making business. We are
not hero for the purpose of suggesting planks
or making resolutions for the nominating
convention. Wo should have It understood
that any republican who now wants to sur
render to the opposition or who wants to
adopt the principles of either of the other
parties must be ready to confess that as n
republican he has been wrong for the past
thirty years. "
There was no mistaking the quality of the
enthusiasm which greeted the appearance of
Hon. John M. Thurston , who was to respond
to the address of welcome.
Mr. Thurston's address was frequency In
terrupted with cheers , but the culminating
point In the Interest In his remarks was
not reached until he nearcd the point where
ho took up the financial discussion. After
declaring that he was in favor of an honest ,
candid , courageous expression of the sent !
ments of the convention on the silver ques
tion , he said :
MR. THURSTON ON DEMOCRACY.
"There Is something grander nnd greater
In politics than success. I would rather go
down to defeat with the flag representing
my principles nailed to the masthead than
to sail triumphantly Into the tiarbor of suc
cess under falte colors or under the com
mand of a demagogue. I attended a pre
liminary gathering of republicans In Omaha
a few weeks slnca and In the course of a
few remarks which I made upon that occa
sion I made the assertion that the demo
cratic party had Rone-lnto czjnp fifteen miles
'away from the knosveldgo of God. That as
sertion has been denied "by"n prominent
democratic editor of this state and upon
further ' investigation I find that I was mis
taken. The democratic party did go Into
camp fifteen miles from the knowledge of
God , but they soon found that even there
their position was unsafe nnd so they broke
camp and have taken to the woods. Four
years ago the country turned over to a dem
ocratic administration this country , which
had enjoyed nn unparalleled era of pros
perity , a prosperity that had excited the
wonder , the admiration and the surprise of
the civilized world. Today that prosperity
Is shattered by the very mpn who had prom
ised to cherish It.
Men talk about prosperity. That country
only Is prosperous In which every' honest
man who desires to work can find a day's
work for every day In the year at a fair
price for his labor. The sole nnd only ques
tion which Is to bo settled In this country
In the future Is how to provide within the
United States the opportunity to labor. It
Is not the opportunity to buy things cheap
tl-at makes a country prosperous. Tlio dem
ocratic party In 1892 told us that they would
make the country prosperous by making
things cheap , forgetting that China wns the
cheapest nation on the face of , tlie earth ,
nnd that In China were to bo found the
cheapest men. The price of men depends
upon the price of things. The cheaper you
get the price of the pair of pants the blggsr
the patch you arc compelled to sew upon
the seat of those worn by the man who has
voted to make himself rich by making things
cheap.
"I will admit that wo are hero simply to
send delegates to the national convention
and to testify to the fact that Nebraska Is
cured of her Ills and redeemed from her
errors and Is ready to again roll up the old
time republican victories. Hero In Nebraska
wo believe In the republican party nnd have
never wavered from her principles. We be-
llevo that the republican party possesses
within Its ranks the genius of statcmanshlp ,
the capacity to grapple with every Issue , the
nerve to moot every emergency , and by leg
islation Inspired by republican thought and
republican action to again restore the ma
terial prosperity of this grand country. We
arc republicans because every act now upon
the statute books of the United States for
the protection of the Individual , for the up
building of homo , for the freedom of men ,
and for the protection of labor Is the result
of republican thought , republican courage
and republican action. The republican pai ty
has contributed the great names that thrill
the hearts of men and lend luster to his
tory. 'I ho genesis of American liberty Is to
be found In the declaration of Independence ,
but the theme of the now testament of free
dom was written by Abraham Lincoln , and
the inngna chartu of that liberty reaffirmed
by Ulysses S. Grant under the slmdo of a
Virginia apple tree. * * *
ON THE EAST AND WEST ISSUE.
"In the present times the man who seeks
to array the producing west against the
manufacturing east or to array the gold
standard cast against the bimetallic utand-
nrd west Is a traitor to his party and his
people. The great produclnR west cannnt
llvo without the seaboard east. The sea
board needs the great producing west.
Neither can stand without the other. Just
so long as the cast , with Ha extreme vlewa ,
finds Itself arrayed by the democrats and
populists of the west , all attempts to restore
the prosperity of the whole country by
needed legislation will cease. Relief from
existing conditions can only como when the
republican cast binds Itself to a republican
west In a grand majority In congress. In
the present emergency I will stand where
Abraham Lincoln stood In the dark days ot
the war. Then there were two classes of
patriots. Ono class wanted to save the
union and keep the negroes In slavery and
the other class wanted to save the 'union
and ( rco the slaves. Lincoln said ho would
frco none of the slaves and save the
union. Ho would free some of
the slaves , but ho would save
the union. So say I today. Let's save the
country first from the blight of the present
administration , which I arraign for Its
treason to American Interests , for Its Ha
waiian policy , for Its treachery to the hon
ored union veteran and the widows and or
phans of his dead comrades. No country
ought to live and prosper which forgets the
debt of gratitude It owes to the folOler who
naves Its existence. As republicans we stand
upoit this platform : First , the fact of en-
Hutment IK prlma facie evidence that the
soldier wns able to fight for hlu country.
Second , helplessness and necessity today are
absolute proof that this great and grand
government should take care of the noldler
"And now , finally , thin convention
not attempt to make n platform for the state
convention , But where three , six or a hun
dred republicans nro gathered together they
should not hesitate to express their courage ,
aggressiveness nnd progress. For my part ,
speaking for myself nlono and with no desire -
sire to force my views upon this convention ,
I do not hesitate to declare my own senti
ments. Wo are face to face today with a
great , unreasoning demand In the United
States to male _ this country the dumping
ground for all "tho silver nations ot the
world. Wo must meet nnd resist this dc-
mnnd In some wny or other. For one I be
lieve that wo must provide for the coinage
of nil money with equal debt paying nnd
purchasing powers. This country should
not loan the Goddess of Liberty nnd the
American englo to Increase the valno of the
product ot foreign mines , but I nm In favoi-
of such legislation an wilt protect American
farms , American mines and American fao-
tcrlcs from the pauper labor of all the rest
of the world. "
At the close of Mr. Thurston's address
the Davis City Glee club entertained the
audlenco with several amusing selection ! ' ,
over which the crowd fairly went wild. Then
the list of delegates prepared by the execu
tive committee during the morning wns
adopted an the regularly accredited list of
delegates entitled to scats In the convention.
GOT DOWN TO BUSINESS.
The first practical business of the day
came when A. E. Cady of St. Paul moved
that n committee of seven bo appointed to
which nit resolutions should be referred
without debate.
Ben linker of Omaha moved nn nmomlment
to the effect thnt Hon. John M. Thurston bu
made chairman of the committee. This
amendment proved satisfactory to Mr. Cady
and It was made n part of the original
motion.
II. M. Bushncll of Lincoln then arose
with n copy of the Ohio platform sticking
out of his vest pocket and warned the con
vention that the appointment of the com
mittee proposed by Cady might possibly be
a trap Into which nil resolutions might bo
cat ght and held. Ho wanted the committee
Instructed by the convention to not only 10-
celvo the resolutions , but to prepare from
tl.em a report lo be presented back to tlio
convention. Mr. BushncU's .remarks were
made In an earnest tour * of voice , but be
fore the convention could applaud 0. W. n.
Dorsey of Fremont got up and moved th.it
each congressional district be entitled lo a
member on the committee. This the com
mittee agreed to without dissent. In the
mcnntlme Mr. BushneU's warning had been
forgotlen.
The convention then took a rccss until 3
o'clock In order to give the delegations fiom
each , congressional district time to meet
and select their representatives to the na
tional convention.
The recess was not entirely uneventful.
Nebraska Is entitled to but thirty dctcgales
to the big. national convention at Denver ,
but something like 300 men are willing to
sacrifice their time and go. Piobably the
most exciting session was held by the. dele
gates from the First congressional district.
The caucus chamber \\ns packed with hot
and excited delegates and for nearly two
hours the contest waged with wavering
energy.
The first scrap was Inauguraled by Bud
Llndscy nnd olhcrs of his friends , who
sought to force Tom Bcnlon ns the delegate-
at-large. At no time was Bcnton In Iho
race , but his backers made an ugly fight In
his interest. His name was withdrawn and
that of John C. Watson of Otoe county sub
stituted. Lancaster county put up S. E.
Low , and after a hot fight Low was elected.
Church Howe was named as one of the dele
gates , and after that there was no trouble
In selecting the others.
Douglas county had an equally exciting
time nnd the selection ot delegates was not
exactly In the nature of a harmonious" pro
ceeding. Henry D. Estabrook had Avlred
his friends from California that It selected
ns dclegate-at-large ho would Attend the
Denver convention , but he was "not chosen ,
John L. Webster being the lucky man. Jim
Kynor nnd Dick Smith both drew prizes nnd
the other nominations went to Herman
Tlmme of Douglas county nnd L. W.
Osborne of Blair. The other congressional
caucuses had nol much difficulty in selecting
their represontallves. The convention reas
sembled shortly afler 3 o'clock In Ihe ntler-
noou. Vlco President Robinson , who Jias
been called upon to preside In the nbsenco
of President Lansing , announced the follow
ing committee : John M. Thurston of
Omaha , C. A. Atkinson of Lincoln , L. W.
Osboroo of Blair , R. D. Schneider of Kre-
mont , W. H. Edgar of Beatrice , W. J. Dolan
of Red Willow and A. E. Cady.
The announcement of the committee caused
a large number of delegates to breathe a
sigh of relief , for a mnjorlty of Iho mem
bers were known lo be opposed lo nny reso
lution touching the silver question at the
present' ' convention. There wns no disposi
tion on the part of any of the delegates to
shirk a discussion of the sllvci question nr
to avoid nn expression , but It wns pertl-
ncnlly urged lhat the present convention
represented hardly one-eighth of the repubt
llcans of the state , nnd that It would be
manifestly unfair for the ilclegatcs at this
convention to attempt to decide an Issue
which properly belongs lo the delegates who
will represent ull the republicans In Ihe
convention which Is to assemble- Omaha
next August.
GROSVENOR ON THE SITUATION.
Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio was then
Introduced and for nearly two hours he dls-
cussed the Issues cf the campaign Iti the
clear , concise and eloquent manner for which
ho has long been reputed. The general
theme of his address was the prevailing In-
duslrlal distress. His strictures upon the
administration were especially severe and
they excited the most enthusiastic iipplaitEo
of his hearers ,
"On November 2 , 1892 , " said Mr. Grosve
nor , "this country was In a better condition
financially , commercially and Industrially
than It had over been before In Its cntiro
history. Its foreign commerce In thnt year
reached the enormous sum of $2,000.000.000 ,
greater than In any year In the history ot
the country. There was a balance of trade
In favor'of this country of $200,000,000.
There was not a dollar of unemployed capital
In the United Stales. There was not on
Idle man In the United States who wanted
to work. In 1892 the d-mocrats mot In
Chicago and demanded the repeal of
the Shermcn act and denounced the McKln-
ley bill as the conccnlraled essence of vil
lainy. The counlry elected n democratic ad
ministration and then cimc the crash. Some
of the largest manufacturing companies In
the cast reduced wages 10 per cent within
forty-eight hours after Cleveland had been
elected. NtW the music of the spindle had
become a rcmlni-cence , the chimneys of the
factory nro the lumes of the owl nnd the
but , and the only Industry that Is flourishing
Is the frco public soup houses. "
Mr. Grosvenor denied that the Sherman
act was rcuponslblo for the financial panic
of last year , and claimed that thu demo
cratic Jugglery with the tariff was responsi
ble for the Indn.trial depression. Ho was
especially eovero upon the Nebraska popu
lists In congress who voted to strike down
the sugar Industry In this state on the mis
erable pretense that they were benefiting
thu people of the whole country , denouncing
the action of Congressman Bryan as the
"cowardly , sneaking act cf an assassin. " U
was 5 o'clock when Congressman Grosvenor
completed his address.
The following delegates to the national
convention at Denver wqro elected.

TOPRKA , Juno 12. The 010 delegates to
the populist state convention appeared to bo
on hand this morning ready for the opening
session. The antl-Lcwclling clement seems
to be confined to those cutsldc of the list ot
delegates except the delegation from Wynn-
dotto county. Lowolllng will head the
ticket unless some new deal Is agreed upon.
It Is being stated today , though , that Con
gressman Harris may possibly bu mimed for
governor and Levelling given the nomina
tion for congressman-ut-large.
But the conditions point to the rcnomltm-
tlon of the entire ticket with the exception
of Lieutenant Governor Daniels , who Is not a
candidate , and Secretary of State Osborne ,
who It was understood would decline a nom
ination but now expresses a willingness to
accept.
Governor Lowelllng said In an Interview
todjy : "I do not yet know whether I shall
accept the nomination or not. but If It cornea
to mo with enthusiasm nnd the utmost
unanimity I shall accept. If 1 find that the
opposition Is serious and that It will Injure
the chances of the party at the election In
November 1 shall decline the nomination. "
When the convention met nt 11 o'clock :
temporary organization was perfected by the
selection of Bun S. Henderson of Wlnlleld
as temporary chairman and Charles S. Davis
of Junction City as secretary.
After the reading of n telegram from Mrs.
Jerry Simpson , saying Jerry would bo on
deck when needed , the convention took a
recess until 2 p. in.
The afternoon session was taken up with
the Eflectlon of the various committees , and
addresses by M'ss Susan B. Anthony nnd
Mr.s. Chipman Catt In behalf of a woman
suffrage plank In the state platform. At
the conclusion of Miss Anthony's address a.
delegate demanded to know whether she
would take the stump and urge nil friends
of woman suffrage to vote the populist
ticket. Miss Anthony's response was In the
alllrmatlvu , and was greeted with prolonged
applause.
The committee on permanent organization
reported amid great applause the nnmo of
J. M. Dunsmore as permanent chairman and
Ben Rich as secretary. Dunsmorevaa' '
speaker and Rich clerk ot the populist house ,
declared to be Illegal by the supreme court
at tlio * time of the legislative trouble In the
winter of 1SD2-93. The report of the com
mittee was adopted.
There was considerable sparring between
the woman suffrage and anti-suffrage forces
over a motion to refer all resolutions to the
committee on resolutions , Ex-Speaker Elder
wns the leader of the null-suffrage forces
and Judge Doster of the suffragists. Thcro
was much enthiitju-m whenever the ques
tion of extending the franchise to womeU
was mentioned. /
At 0 o'clock the convention took a recess
untir7:30 : p. m.
The , night session was devoted to raising :
money for the campaign and the transac
tion Of rputUiij buslneEa until 10 o'clock. ,
when the convention adjpurncd without
reaching any nomination. <
The committee on resolutions made a re
port rcaflrmlng the Omaha platform , en
dorsing the populist state officers and con
gressmen , and declares the evils predicted
by their party were now upon the country.
