8 THE OMAITA DAILY UEUJ : : TIFTHSDAY , JITLY 0 , 1090. EVERYONE WAS FOR JIERCER Not a Dissenting Voice Raised in the Con vention Yesterday , BUSINESS TRANSACTED IN A HURRY Onl > - Itciinlri'il mi Hour for Si | lu- mill All CoiiKiTHKlonnl lvlKn < 'H liiMli-iH-lcil In Vote UN > ' it Cull. It took the republican county convention exactly an hour yesterday afternoon to se lect 112 delegates to the congressional con vention. They were unanimously Iti- utructcd to vote for the rcnomlnatlon of I ) . 11 , Mercer , The convention was one of the most harmonious and enthusiastic ever held In Douglas county. There was only one name mentioned In connection with the nomination and the uninitiated observer would never have Imagined that and different situation had previously obtained. If there were any dissatisfactions remaining from the contest at the primaries they were not perceptible and from first to Inst not an Inharmonious note was sounded. It was nn auspicious beginning of the congressional campaign and when the convention meets today Its proceedings will be a mere ratifica tion of the will of the three counties of the district , as expressed In the Instructions to the delegates. When the county convention met In Washington hall yesterday afternoon every delegate on thu floor was for 1) . II , Mercer. The Third ward delegates were the last to climb Into thu band wagon. Dur ing the forenoon they got together and de cided that It would bt > useless to oppose themselves , to the rest of the convention. Consequently they determined to cast their fujl vote In Mercer's ' Intel csts. During the Interval wlillu the delegates were arriving , the unsuccessful aspirants for .Mercer's Bhocs lingered around the cdgi's of the crowd and received the good humored chaf fing of their friends with as good grace as possible. Mercer's overwhelming victory at the primaries had settled all opposition and to hear thu conversations going on In various parts of the hall ono would think 110 such opposition had ever existed. The delegates consumed some time In ex changing felicitations and It was 2:20 : o'clock when Chairman John Lewis of the county central committee called the convention to order. Secretary hunt read the call , after which Chairman Lewis said : "Gentlemen of the Convention : The bat tle In the republican camp Is over. The overwhelming majority rolled up In the va rious wards of this city upon yesterday : the returns rom South Omaha and the country precincts , Indicate the way the wind blows and settle the congressional struggle In our party. Yesterday we fol lowed the several banners of our own par ticular candidates. Today , without regard to former allegiance , one and all , we gather about one banner , the banner of the re publican party , which has Inscribed upon It. the three mnslc names , MeKlnlcy , Mac- Cell and Mercer. Under this banner , united and loyal , the republican party In this county will march on to magnificent victory In November next. Out from the conflict of yesterday we come with no heartburnings , no enmities , with but one desire the success ot the entire republican ticket next fall. "I have the honor of presenting as your temporary chairman , Hon. Charles J. Greene of the Ninth ward. " The applause was renewed when Mr. Greene was Introduced and took the gavel. In thanking the convention for the honor conferred Mr. Oreeno remarked that while the great interest iu this campaign cen tered on the contest for the presidency , the composition of the next congress was even more Important. There had been a struggle In this county , but now that It was over all should be united and know no man except as a republican. Ho called attention to tlm great issues that were to be decided. "The democratic party was for free coinage , free trade and everything else that was free except free labor , lie arraigned the populist party and pointed to the riot and disaster that had followed Its assumption of power In Illinois , Kansas and Colorado. It had shown Itself incapable of governing a state and still It aspired to govern the nation. All these Interests meant war on the republican party , Its Institutions and Its policy. Thu repub lican party stood for protection to American labor and Industries and for the best finan cial policy that the world had ever known. It was the best friend Hllvcr had ever had. Up to 1873 there had been scarcely $3.000- 000 of silver coined in the United States. Since then the republican party had added nearly $000,000,000 to the silver coinage cf the country. MAINTAIN THE PIIRSENT SYSTEM. "Was that an act of an enemy to silver ? Tlio party was for bimetallism , but until that had been secured by International agreement It proposed to maintain the finan cial system under which we had prospered for thirty years. "What it meant was that every dollar of the vast volume of money that circulated today , whether gold or silver or certificates , should bo as good as any other dollar lu the jvorlcl. " The speaker followed with a strong portrayal trayal of the weakness of the position taken by the free and unlimited coinage advocates. Ho showed the unfairness of the proposition and Indicated the manner In which the exe cution of their views would contract the cur rency and bring disaster to every Interest of this country. "Work was what the pco- plo wanted. Was this to be provided by de- Htroylng the industries which afforded labor ? Would free silver , or free trade give work to the American people ? "This was no now situation. It had been confronted five times before In the history of this country and In each case had re sulted In disaster. The republican party bad always been true to the people. It had found the country In the midst of a civil war and had brought about peaces within and without Us borders. It had found It In Iliian. clut distress and left It In a condition of prosperity unparalleled In Its history , " At the end of the chairman's address , the organization was completed by the election of II , 0. Smith of thu Sixth ward and W. A , Sousscy of Clontarf as secretaries. On motion of T. K. Sudborough , the list of delegates as received by the secretary were declared seated. W. I ) . Taylor of the Fourth ward moved that a committee of seven be selected to name the delegates to the congressional convention. An amend ment to Increase thu committee to * Include ono member from each ward and precinct was voted down , and the original motion prevailed. The committee consisted of \ \ ' 11 , Taylor , T. S , Crocker , I. O. Hhoades Frank 1C. Darling , T. W. niackburn. 13. C. I * May-field , South Omaha ; W. It. Turner , Klk City. fr It. W. Ilreckcnrldgo of the Seventh ward offered the following resolution , which was received with rhecra : INSTIIUCT FOIl MRIJCKH. "Resolved , That thu delegates from Doug las county to the congressional convention to bo held July 9 , IS'Jii , be and are herebj Instructed to vote as u unit for the nomi nation of Hen , David II. Mercer for con- erc-Esman from the Second congressional district. " , John 0. Wharton said that In ono re spect he was like David I ) . Hill. Hill had a Bpcreh prepare ! to make at the Chicago convention , but had never got an oppor tunity to deliver It. HP , himself hail a resolution which Included Hurrj Drome's name , but It would have to be embalmed along with Hill's speech. He THE BEE'S ' ANNIVERSARY' NUMBER , A few copies of this excellent edition of The Bee are still to be had at the business office ol The Bee. Send a few copies of this souvenir number to your friends. 5 cents per copy , seconded the resolution offered by Mr. Urcck- cnrldgc. Tom McVItt of the Third ward erformcd the same oillco In behalf of Mr. 'ornl li. The resolution was adopted amid Ire * mrndotis enthusiasm and there wan a wild cry for Mercer s lie entered the linll. Mr. Mercer advanced to the jilatform , while the delegates ipplauded wildly. Congressman Mercer Bald that In his opinion n public office was not a irlvate snap. The people wanted an official who attended to his business and was not out on dress parade three-fourths of the time. It was not alwavs an easy matter for a man to do his du'y , but perseverance con quered nil things. He had endeavored to erase from his lexicon the word "fall" and Ills work was only commenced for the Second end congressional district. Ho stood on the republican platform now ns In the paat. With reciprocity , protection and sound money , prosperity would return to this country. If the tariff question was prop- > rly taken care of. the money question would take care of Itself. And with Me- Ktnley In the white hour the republican iarty proposed In accomplish that result. Continuing , tbu speaker referred to the sentiment of standing up for Omaha and Nebrabka that was becoming universal. Ho vigorously urged home patronage and a de termined effort to build up the Industries of Nebraska. As Mr. Mercer concluded there were gen eral calls for K. J. Cornish. Mr. Cornish somewhat humorously accepted his position. HP remarked that when a boy he had always wanted to see how a chicken looked after It had been through n eyclpne and ho pre sumed that that was the reason why the delegates were anxious to see him. Hw brlelly pledged his allegiance to Mr. Mercer and gave way to Mr. II. C. Drome. Mr. Drome responded , Raying : ' "I be long , like my friend. In the ranks. I have always been found fighting In the ranks. 1 recognize every one has a right to be a can didate , but should understand the majority should rule , and when the will of the majority Is determined to bow to Its will. The prosperity of the country Is bound up In the republican party and It Is due from us all to work for Its success and for the election of Its nominees. If Mr. Mercer will do as well In the next two years as he has In the past four , I will be satisfied. I do not say It In n spirit of Mattery , but I do say that no man can assert he has not per formed his duty. " Thu convention seemed to be disposed to listen to speechmaklng. and John L. Kennedy , W. F. din-ley. 1. H. Andrews , J.V. . Carr and II. G. Durbank were suc cessively called for. None of them re sponded , and a recess of live minutes was declared In which to wait for the report of the convention. DELEGATES SELECTED.

OBJECT TO THE BOND REQUIREMENT lnilliMitloiiH tlm ( til NYMiMIInK < .of ( In- County Hoard .Sonic 1'nvor- nllc AellnnVIII lie Taken In the Pri-mlxcM. The Southsldc Improvement club Is still making every effort to secure the grading of the Thirteenth street boulevard by the county commissioners and without the giv ing of an Indemnity bond by the property owners along that street , to protect the county against loss by damage suits. The commissioners have adjourned until June 25 , but In the meantime the southsldcrs nro losing no time. They are endeavoring to win n majority of the hoard over to their side and the Indications arc that when the board next convenes the resolution pro viding that the street shall be graded , pro viding a bond Is given , will bo reconsidered and the part referring to the bond stricken out. out.At At the time this resolution was passed some of the commissioners asked the county attorney for an opinion as to the legality of the bond which had been asked for. This question was turned over to Assistant County Attorney Dnv for investigation and Mr. Day mihmlttcd an opinion In which he stated that he oellovcd the requiring of a bond of that nature to be against public policy nnd void ; that the work was of a public nature , and such action would be delegating to private Individuals duties which devolved upon the commissioners asa ' a public body. This opinion 'was very care fully burled out of sight and another of the assistant attorneys was asked to draw up the bond. Commissioner Stcnbcrg , who has been the most ardent supporter of the move to re quire h bond to bo furnished to protect the county , admits that It is a' mere matter of form and that the county could never re cover a dollar on the bond In case property owners should win damage suits against the county on account of the grading. He con tends , however , that the moral Influence of the bond would be such as to prevent property owners with Imaginary damages from bringing damage suits. He argues that suits would be brought against the county by persons who' would not start a suit It they thought a few Individuals would have to stand the loss. The proposed grad ing being Inside the city limits of South Omaha , Mr. Stenbcrg says the , county has no right to appoint appraisers to fix the damages caused by the grading , whereas the law requires that appraisers shall be ap pointed before grading Is done. He cites the Taylor case on West Leavenworth street as an Instance of how It works. Tayjor was the owner of a lot on Leavenworth street , west of the Holt line railway , on the south side of the street. Inside the city limits of Omaha , The north side of the street is outside the city limits at that point. The street was graded by the county without expense to the property owners , but without appointing ap praisers because the commissioners had no power to do so. After the grading was done Taylor sued the city , the county and the Individual commissioners who were In office when the work was done. He recovered judgment In the sum of $000 against the county. Stcnberg's point Is that If the county had had an Indemnity bond In that case the moral Influence of such a bond would have prevented the suit being brought. Stenberg Is supported in this view by Commissioner Williams , who also favors the requirement of a bond. On the other hand , Commissioner Klcr- stcad takes the position that the work i Is a great public Improvement and that It is un reasonable to ask a few of the heavy prop erty holders In the city to assume all the responsibility of giving a bond for $10,000 when the whole city Is benefited , and he favors waiving the requirement of a bond nnd going ahead with the work as soon as possible. He says that It Is absurd to re quire the south side property owners to give a bond which Is admitted to be Illegal and that such tactics are simply obstructive and useless. Chairman Jenkins coincides with Mr. Klcr- stead and favors going ahead without a bond , owing to the Importance of the work. Mr. Hector also favors the work without requiring a bond and stated before he went to Chicago that ho would vote to recon sider the resolution requiring a bond 16 be given before anything was done.

This is the lime of the year when the stores that have been getting tenth story prices for fourth story goods are conjuring up all sorts of excuses to make people believe that the prices are now on the ground floor and that they arc practically giving the choice goods away. That's why you see so many "stock taking sales , " "inventory sales , " "alteration sales , " w overburdened sales , "enlargement sales" and mark clown sales under one guise or another , as if the public were a lot of blanked fools who like to pay double in April when they can get the w same goods for half in July. We never resort to such w tricks. We never charge two dollars for what we can sell for one. We never insult your intelligence by J trying to make believe that we are selling goods for W less than we paid for them and we never find any ? S necessity for fake sales cither in January or July.
