THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , SEPTEMBER 2 , 1894. BOYD PLACED IN THE FIELD Democrats of Becnnd Ooagrarsipnal District Him Their Candidate. CHOICE EXPRESSED BY ACCLAMATION Mr. Ford fin Id tlmt WnsVlmt tlin Dele- gntcs Were Cliuncii 1'im Nominee's Speech of Acceptance Sketch of Hho Cnmllilatc. The democrats of the Second congressional district of Nebraska met In convention yesterday afternoon and nominated James E , Boyd as the opponent to the republican and populist candidates. The nomination of ex-Governor Boyd had been looked upon as a foregone conclusion far a w&ck past. It was brought about first by the action of the cot grcsslonal committee- selecting the del egates to the convention Instead of having each county In ttio district elect delegates. It leaked : out during the proceedings yester day afternoon that the committee made Us selections entirely In the Interest of Gover nor Boyd. This fact was brought out by Pat Ford , and whether he Intended to give It away or not , the revelation created some thing of a sensation. It simply showed that the spontaneous demand for the ex-gover nor's nomination , about which so much has been said and written for days past , was the result of n carefully prepared program. Prominent democrats representing both lac- tlcns of the democracy urged tlio nomination upon Governor Boyd during all last week. It was generally understood that ho would nccept the nomination. At 2 o'clock yester day afternoon Mr. Boyd called Judge Ogden to his residence and authorized him to state to the convention that circumstances would prevent his acc tance of a nomination. Judge Ogden < lld so , but In a tnnnner that left no doubt In the minds of the delegates that the nomination would be accepted. , A few doubters b'gan movements favorable to other candidates and the names of Judge Ogden , "W. J. Bryan and others were sug gested , but the delegates were there to nomInate - Inato Boyd , and nominate him they did. The convention was called to order by Chairman F , A. Brogan of the congressional committee. He look occasion to remark that th a democratic electors had called the con vention , believing that the Second district was and ought to bo a democratic district and that It an energetic campaign was waged the district would bo redeemed. It was for this reason that the convention had been called early in order that the cam paign might be long enough to glvo n full discussion of all the Issues of the campaign. The convention then made a start by se lecting J. Edgar Howard of Paptllton and "Lewis J. Plattl of Omaha as temporary chairman and secretary respectively. The list of delegates prepared by the cen tral committee was accepted and the tem porary organization made permanent. MR. OGDEN'S ' MESSAGE. After several dilatory motions had been disposed of and after the convention had voted to dispense with a committee on reso lutions. U was decided to nominate a candi date for congress and a motion that an In formal ballot be taken was entertained by the chair. Before the motion was put Judge Ogden arose to make a personal statement. He stated that he had called at tlie resi dence of Governor Boyd at 2 o'clock and Jiad there been shown a letter written to the ex-governor from Mexico. That letter proved that Governor Boyd's presence would bo re quired In Mexico for the ensuing six weeks. Tor that reason Judge Ogden sjld that it would be Impossible for Governor Boyd to accept the nomination. Judge Ogden stated , however , that ho had been told that Dan Honln liad been authorized to say that Governor Boyd had placed himself entirely al the disposal of his filends. This latter statement seemed to turn a new light upon the ex-governor's refusal to accepl a nomination. The delegates thought the ) saw a string loose somewhere and there wcro loud demands for Dan Honln. Mr , Honln arose and expressed himself a : lo the embarrassment under which he la bored. He wanted to say In language toe emphatic to be misunderstood that , notwith standing the words just spoken by Judge Ogden , he felt and believed that Governoi Boyd was the strongest man that could b < nominated. If. he was nominated he conk bo elected by 5,000 majority. He bellovet tlmt Governor Boyd would accept ant moved his nomination by acclamation. W. B , Shoemaker wanted the conventloi to make no mistake. Ho was In favor oDe Do yd'3 nomination , but he did not want thi democrats of the Second district to comml political harl karl by nominating a mat who might decline. He therefore moved n an amendment that a committee of three bi sent to secure Governor Boyd's final answer The amendment provoked a one-sided discus slon , all seeming to favor the nomination o the ex-governor , but some expressing som doubts as to Its acceptance. FORD EXPLAINS FULLY. It remained for Pat Ford to explain th unanimous sentiment In the convention fo Boyd. Ho made an Impassioned appeal fo the nomination of the ex-gdvernor , and , li the course of his remarks , ho said that h had bced ona of the committee that selecte- - the dclecatcs to the convention and tha the delegation had been chosen for the ex press purpose of nominating Boyd. The ful force'of tha statement dtd not strike th convention for several Instants , and then , a the delegates saw tlio true inwardness c the committee , they laughed long and u [ roarlously. In the general discussion W. S. Shoemaka Hi ted that the republican party was raplill disintegrating and that In this state thcr v.as nothing left of It but rallroadism an "that other Ism so well known and np ] > rec nted In Omaha. " The- amendment finally prevailed and tli chairman appointed Shoemaker of Dougla : Oroi'iileo of Washington and Chase of Sarp as the committee to wait upon Govcrnc Jlayd. At the expiration of a teu-mlnul recess the committee returned and Shot maker reported that Boyd had said th. although It would require lilm to sacrlflc his business , hoould accept the namlnatlc piovldcd that ho was the unanimous cholt of the convention. Boyd was then nominated by acclamntlc without a dissenting vote , and Messrs. 1)1 ) mlngliain , Shoemaker and Euclid Marti were- Instructed to Inform him of the fact , LOOKS FOR BRIGHTER DAYS. A few moments later Mr , Boyil appoarc In the hall , and after being Introduce us the next congr.ssman from the Secoi : district , said : Mr. Chairman nnd Gentlemen : I nrrsun that there is not n man present at this co : volition who docs not know that I acce ; this honor with tlio grenteat reluctance , nocepl It nt a sacrifice of my personal con foil. The campaign la entirely at vurlani with my business Interests and it In on for the sake of the democratic pnrty , which I liavo belonged all my life , tlmt do accept. Although I piefcrrctl tlmt you Rliou nliousu another candidate , nevertheless appreciate the honor which IIUH just bci ctmfeired upon me hy this convention , ai If vlectctl , and I have OIH assurance of t ! young democracy of Douglaa county th I will be elected , I shall ilevoti" inj- tin nnd ability to promote the Interests n only of thin district but of the whole sta iu > veil.

I have Been darker days for the democratic party than these , and yet the party carne Rafely through. The new tariff hill Is now n law , McKlnleylKtii In dead nnd business ] will Improve ! from this time on. I know the democratic party has been lilnnxxl for the business depression of the last year and a linlf , but I want lo nay to you that nil the troubles wo have Just pnnaeil through are culminating effects of republican legislation for tlif past twenty- five years. 1 ndmlt there Is much reason for distrust nnd illKconti-nt. There la some , thlntc wrong with n system which Impov erishes the many nnd permits the accumu lation ; ) of their toll to be shared only by the few. The republican party la responsi ble fur tills pysem , but the democratic party will right every existing wrong. This would have been accomplished nt the last session of congress but for the Interference of that Riant monopoly created ami fostered by the republican party , the Sugar trust. The democratic party lina always been the party of the people , nnd to that party the people must eventually turn for the preservation of their rights , for the protec tion of their property and for the safety of their liberty. HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGEUS. With the nomination of the candidate out of the way there was nothing to be done but to select a congressional committee and ndjourn. ' At first the convention voted to allow Mr. Boyd to name ) the committee , but ho protested so strongly against the responsi bility ( hat the delegates were constrained to follow his wishes ) and select the men themselves. A'ftcr no little tribulation tl < e committee was. agreed upon as follows From Douglas county , W. I. Wapplch , SatnUPi Oosney , G. W. Shields , D. L .Cartan , Leo Spratlln ; from Washington county , E. A. Stewart and W. H. Pruner ; from Sarpy county , Iluel Alford and J. Kdgar Howard. Hon. James E. Boyd , nominee for congress , came to Omaha , In August of 185G. and en gaged In the business of carpentering. Anyone ono well acquainted with the city can point out several old buildings still standing as monuments of his skill as a mechanic. In 1858 , soon after being married , lie went out to Wood river and near the town of Gibbon located on a ranch and for nine years busily Interested himself at the ve.ry lucrative pursuit ol stock raising. There Is where he laid the foundation and commenced to- build up a comfortable fortune. At the same time ho engaged In merchandising to some considerable extent In Kearney , In IBGfi he- took a contract and graded about 300 miles out In that country of the Union Pacific road. Two years later Mr. Boyd re turned to Omaha and In 1872 started the Boyd packing concern. In the meantime he held successfully several positions- trust , aucli as county clerk , councilman , mayor , representative and delegate to the constitu tional convention. Ho was a member of the first state legislature from Buffalo county , nnd In 1857 was elected clerk of DougVvs county. IJli first election as mayor was In the spring of 1881. nnd his administration of city affairs that time proved so acceptable that when the people desired to Inaugurate a great system of pub lic Improvement and boom Omaha , they , In 18SH , again put him to the front as the safist man for that ofllcc. In 1S90 ho was elected governor of Nebraska , defeating L. D. nichanls , the republican nominee , after ono of the hardest fought campaigns In the history of the state. He helped along the gaa company In Its struggling Infancy , as sisted In organizing the Omaha & North western railroad , was its first president nnd presided until the line reached Blair. Ho was one of the founders cf the Ne braska National bank , and has built two theaters In the city , one of which still stands as an 'honor to his name. Mr. Boyd has always been a democrat and Is one of the best known leaders of that party In the statei Mr. Boyd Is an Irishman , having been born on the "auld sod , " In County Tyrone , September 0 , 1S34. He came to America ' with his father In 1847 , settled at Zancsv'llle , O. , and resided there until the western faver brought him to Omaha.

Franklin MacVeagh , democratic candidate for United States sena tor , opened his campaign tonight before an audience which filled every part of CerUral Music hall. Deles H. Pholps. chairman ol the state committee , opened the meeting with a brief address , In which he Intro duced William T. Baker of Chicago , who acted as presiding officer. Mr. Baker , In a few happy remarks , brought forward Mr. MacVeagh. who was enthusiastically re ceived personally and whose speech was frequently Interrupted with cheers and ap plause. Mr. MacVeagh , In beginning his speech said the democratic plan of letting the people ple choose United States senators. Is not ap proved by the press and leaders of the re publican party. They dirt not use the Van- derbllt expressions about the people , but they evidently had It In mind. They havt retrograded since , the days of their populm enthusiasm In Lincoln's tlmo. The re sponslbllltyo f being the only people's part ] Is point by point being put upon the demo crats. The republican party , which In It ! earlj' days was famous In the line of liberal Ism , haa become a tory party of the moa pronounced kind. Mr. MacVeagh reviewed at great lengll the events of the past twcnty-flve years charging the republican party with the re Bponslblllly for all the business panics dur Ing that period. Coming down to the Issues Involved In th < present campaign , he said : "I am a tarll reformer , and know of no way left undo heaven , except through the democratic party to make fast what wo now have of tariff re form , and to get more. Republicans li GarOeld's time believed In protection whlcl loads ( o free trade. The democrats o Cleveland's tlmo believe In tariff reforn which leads to free trade , He claimed the delay In passing the tarll bill was duo to republican obstruction an the fact there was a protectionist majorlt ; In the senate , and that the only wonde was the bill ever got through that bodj It only emphasized ( ho necessity of mor tariff reformers In the senate. Ho wa doing his best to become one of them an asked the people to do the rest. f Ho declared himself in favor of b r mctalllsm. Trouble nt n 1'rlmnry , I SEATTLE , Wash. , Sept.

"I nm certainly not seeking any nomina tion from the convention. I have been ab sent from the country so long and so far away that no one can refer to the slightest movement on my part to cause a discussion of my name , -which has been used with the names of other republicans who nro de servedly honored throughout the state for their services and character. I have put myself In nobody's way nor have 1 suffered any ono to do that for me which I dis claim for myself , "And now , having been five days on Amer ican soil after twelve months absence , and having examined the situation as well as possible in the period , I beg to say that In the approaching councils of the party In , convention assembled I desire to be regarded as a soldier In the republican army , ready 'to receive the commands of my fellow citi zens of like pcisuasion In public polled with riyself , whether those commands Involve leadership or service In the ranks. "When 1 left the vice president's chair , and since , I have had no thought , much less desire , to re-enter public life.

Fourteen members of the newly organized Fourth Ward dcmocratlc'club Bryan assem bled at Washington hall last evening to dlbcuss ways and means , for furthering the political ambitions of the present congress man from the First congressional district. A few wire In favor of permitting populists to vote at the democratic primaries , but after some one ventured the assertion that the populists' allies would undoubtedly bo challenged by the administration agents the proposal wasdropped. . It vwas generally conceded thut all the preliminary work done by the county qontral committee. Including Iho location of the polling'booths and the appointment of judges and clerks of ejec tion , would be prejudicial to Bryan , "but all present felt confident of the election of the Bryan delegates.

C M' ( Copyrighted 1SJ < by the Araodated Press. ) LONDON , Sept. 1 Tlie theatrical week has been chiefly notable by the return to town of the last vacation stragglers , the re opening of Terry's theater and the Comedy theater and the sensational surprise of the day of the marrhigo on 'Wednesday ' at Edin burgh of Justin Huntlc7 McCarthy , the son of Justin McCarthy , M. P. , to Cissy Lotlus , the rising young actress , who has already miulo quite a name for herself as an Impersonator senator of leading actr'essos. The marriage of young Mr. McCarthy was A decided sur prise , although he has tor a long tlmo past been devoted to Cissy Loftus , escorting her to Ihe theaters , etc. A year ago it was an nounced ho was married to Ada Jenoure , but In the present case there seems to be no doubt that the young people are mar ried. People , however , are not able to under stand why ho did not marry Miss Loftus In London , especially as he was obliged to re- sldo twenty-one days In Edinburgh before ho could get the necessary license to marry. The marriage , naturally , Is the principal topic of chatter In theater circles generally , anil among friends and acquaintances of the two contracting parties In particular. The theatrical world. In addition to dis cussing the McCnrthy-Lottus marriage , Is also commenting upon the ball given at the Prince of Wales theater yesterday by George Edwards ' to his American "Gaiety" Girl" company. The Gaiety Girls sail today by the steamship Berlin from Southampton for New York. This ball completed a round ot gaiety which crowned a series of "at homes" at the theater last Thursday. At Waterloo station this morning the. Gaiety Girls were sent on their Journey fn grand style , the bearers of hundreds of farewell letters , tel egrams , bouquets , etc. Henry Irving confesses himself as despond ent as to the future ot English drama. He says : "The music halls are unduly over- tapping the theaters nnd many theaters are taking on tha vulgar ways of the halls. " STATE-AID FbRTHE , DRAMA. During his now finished vacitlon at Oalr- loch , Mr. Irving unbrtsofned himself on this subject. What Is wanted , he thinks. Is , state pr municipal aid and .recognition. The the- ata'r Is of might bo a gfeat educational and moral power and In different senses It slands greatly In need of munr6lpa | recognition , Mr. lrylng has repeatedly .discussed this propo sition With Mr. Gladstone who has often sat with him In the 'wing's ' of the Lyceum stage whilst the play proceeded. Ten years ago Mr. Gladstone didnnotf think the British nation would ever groiif such recognitionto the drama , but quite repntly , before the pres ent calamity overtook Kim , Ihe ex-premter expressed the view th.at the mind of the English electorate wak undergoing a great change In regard to th6 theater , and that "sooner than some * tff. 'them ' think It might become a national Institution. " . There are some causes' contributing to this end , Mr. Irving thinks1 ; among them be ing1 a growlhg-'tosto for11 % drama and dra matic literature , 'and tf tear , possibly , In the mind of thoughtful muh , that If pure , ele vating plays are not Joncouraged something of a very different kind' may usurp thslr place , for the public. Ifls'clalmed. must have lt halls of amusements Henry Irvlng's usual autwmnjtour begins shortly In Edinburgh utul-svlll occupy his time pretty well up tcKClirlstinaa. ' in January he opens the Lyceum season. . , with Comlns Carr's dramatic version of "King Arthur , " which , with Its wealth of Incident and striking per- Bonae , will , Mr. Irving thinks , provo a great success. Sir Arthur Sullivan Is still at work on the Incidental music and the scenry I : being designed by Eurno Jones. "King Arthur" will 'be followed each evening by a little piece from the pen of Conan Doyle , Ir which the principal part will be taken by Irving. He will depict nn old Waterloo vet eran who fought with Wellington and who many years after Wellington's death , sill thinks of nothing hut Waterloo and "the duke. " A key to the Idea will bo found in a lltth scene between the old hussar ( Irving ) ant his girl attendant , who , offering to read thi bible to the veteran , asks what part she shal chose. The soldier replies : "Oh , read the Oh Testament. Read Joshua. Head about thi battles. I llko to read about the bat ties. Parson says everything Is going ti end In a great battle , and I think he I ; right. When that battle comes I bet you thi Third Horse will be there , and , let me tel you , I should like to hear what the duk will have to say about It. " Last Thursday Messrs. Lestocq and Rob son produced "The Foundling" at Terry * theater , practically opening the autumn sea son.

CONGREGATION MUST NOT BE PREVENTED Scnnnoll Summoned for Contempt of Court uiul Denies Ho Has tlio Keys to SeaTey to Keep Hands Off. The strife which has waged for some time past among the members of St. Paul's ' Polish Catholic church Is In the courts under a new guise , and the present aspect of the situation promises that there -will be brimstone to spare In the neighborhood ot the church edifice at ( behdur of worship this morning. The dissenting members ot the congregation s were assured by Judge Scott yesterday that c they had a right to occupy the church for purposes of worship this morning , even It they had to tear down ( the walls In order to effect an entrance , and according to the Btatemcntii of the attorneys In the case they are In a state of mind to carry out the In structions literally It necessary. An attachment was Issued by Judge Cun ningham R. Scott yesterday morning by which Bishop Scannell of the diocese of Omaha was summoned to appear before tbe court at 3 o'clock In the afternoon to show cause why he should not be committed for con tempt for violating a restraining order re- cently Issued by the court , The order of attachment Is the latest de velopment In the St. Paul's church squabble which has been In the district court for sev eral wecVs. In a petition filed some time ago a certain portion of the church member ship , whch was alleged to Include- nearly 100 persons , declared that by reason of the fraudulent representations of tbe bishop , Yfcar General Cholia and the priests under them , the church society had been swindled [ ' out of Us property , which hail Neen appro- 'Q prlated by their religious superiors without any color of compensation. The petition related the wrongs of the petitioners in de tail , which occupied a dozen pages ot type written material. Upon Ihe shotting- made Judge Scott granted B temporary restrain ing order by which the bishop and his as sociates were restrained from Interfering with the church and from making nny dis position ot the church property. COMPLAINT AGAINST SCANNELL. Yesterday forenoon an affidavit was filed by John Kowsklen.3ka in which it was alleged that the bishop had refused to comply with the mandate of the court. According to the affidavit , the church society had appointed a committee to wait upon th ; bishop and de mand the keys ot the church. This commit tee called upon Bishop Scannell and stated that they had secured the services ot a priest and wished to open the edifice for religious service , At this time the bishop refused to deliver up the keys and also Informed the committee that no religious services should bo conducted at the cburcli unless It was by a , priest of his own choosing. Another allegation la the affidavit Is to the effect that some time ago tha members raised J100 with which to make come repairs about the church. This vaf turned over to on of the bishop's assistants named Tyiaca , who straightway disappeared , with the statement that he had turned the money over to Bishop I. tba committee ) Vailed upon th bishop and asked for the money .they ivero tersely Informed that he had no account to render. SMYTIIE ASKS FOU TIME. The order of attachment was Issued on the strength of this affidavit , and at the time appointed Bishop Scannell appeared at Judge Scott's odlce In the New York Life building with his attorney , Mr. Smythe. Mr. Smytho asked that the hearing on the attachment bo continued for a few days to give him an opportunity to make a showing In defense. Judge Baldwin , who represented the peti tioners. Insisted that there was nothing to be heard , as It was simply a question whether the retaining of the keys by the ilsliop was a violation of the order of the court. Incidentally Judge Baldwin remarked that some of the bishop's friends had been to 3hlcf Seavey for protection , representing that there would certainly be trouble If there was an effort made to open the church today. The congregation had secured the services of a priest from Cleveland , O. , and all trouble would be averted If the bishop would give up the keya. Mr. Smythe denied that the l > lshop had the keys , and also stated that no copy of the original restraining order had been served upon the bishop. It developed that the reason why no serv ice had been had on the restraining order was because the court hod written the order on the petition Instead of placing It on a separate paper , and the clerk of the court liad been unable to find It. WAUNS CHIEF SEAVEY. , In regard tp the statement that Chief Seavey had been appealed to , Judge Scott said : "It Chief Seavey goes down there tomorrow and Interferes In this matter there will soon be a new head to the police de partment of Omaha. These people have a right to tbe use of this church under the order Issued by tbe court and If Chief Seavey interleres I will fine him for contempt. " In explanation of the request for police assistance , Mr. Smythe said that several per sona had been to the bishop and assured him that Micro was liable to be bloodshed and murder at the church If the new priest attempted to conduct services today. On these representations he had appealed to the chief of police , who had told him that ho should not Interfere unless there was actual disturbance , when lie would see that the peace was maintained. On the final denial of the defendants that the keys w re In their possession Judge Scott remarked that In that case it would bo Impossible to get hold of the keys , and ad vised the petitioners to occupy tlie church anyway. NO INTBUFEUENCE TOLEIUTED. "Just as long as this restraining order ex ists , " continued the court , "It is not for the bishop , however eminent ho may be , nor for any one else to Interfere with Its operation. These people have a right to tear down tlmt church It necessary to get Into It , and this court will protect them In It. Judge Baldwin , If you can't get those doors open any other way you may tear them down , but do not commit bloodshed In doing It. if you are attacked , do not fight back but simply re port to this court the name * of any one who Interferes with you and I will see that everyone ono of them Is prosecuted for contempt , " Mr , Smythe endeavored to Induce the court to modify his language , on the plea that It might Incite tbe Poles , who were always hot headed , to riot and disturbance today. The court then repeated Its advice to the peti tioners without changing It In any way ex cept to lay stress on the Injunction that the church must be brokeu open without re sorting to bloodshed.

It la seldom that the manager of the Bar num & Bailey greatest show on earth haste to personally appear and caution his friends , the public , hut there would seem to bo a great necessity for It this year , It Is stated as a fact that , owing to the early opening of the exhibitions ot the .Bsrnum & Bailey show lit Madison Square garden. New York City , which usually takes place In March each year ( and , by the way , no other circus Is largo enough or good enough to venture before the critical audi ences assembled In that city ) , that such early opening gtvea an opportunity1 to all the managers of little shows , called circuses by courtesy , to sco the performance In Ne.tr York and then go back to their printers and order duplicate copies of all the plctoral printing used by the Barnum & Bailey cir cus. This haa been done for many seasons past , but this year the theft has assumed such glgantlo proportions that Mr. J. A. Bailey has , for the first tlmo In his life , to publicly warn all his patrons to bo on their guard , against gross Impositions ot this na ture. U Is only on paper , however , that tha wonderful attractions of the Unrnuin & Bailey show can be duplicated , for all the other shows combined have not capital enough to buy any of the great features In that Institution. It was the same atory with Jumbo every show was advertising a big i elephant , also with the baby elephant , also with the white elephant , and In the case of the latter some shows went BO far as to whiten an elephant and palm It off as genu ine. This year the public may expect to see a dozen shows advertise the possession , of a gorilla , because the Barnum & Bailey circus has tha only Iwo a male and female * In capt'vlly In the world. They nny ba advertised by other shows , but they cannot be exhibited , and the public will simply bo duped again If they should go to any show with the expectation at seeing these animals , except Barnum & Bailey's , Then they will also see a Irlpla circus In three rlngf , with sixteen champion equestrians , atugu per formances with only the greatest artlBts , races with only thoroughbred horses and trained Jockeys , aortal acts with only tin most daring performers , menageries with only the rjreit and finest specimens and more of them , and an cthnoloelcnl congreai of atrango human beluga from all tbe coun tries on tha globe.
