to the state convention , There wn no attempt -
p tempt to pn InStrUctIons. Of the three
Cllfldlilfttcg for governor none ltoemcl ( confident -
fident of enough strength to warrant him
In making the attempt to secUre the dcc-
gatlon , anti when , jutt before adjournment ,
ft motion was made that the delegation 1)0
unnatructeI , It WaR carried without a dIu-
lintI1g vote.
The committee on credentlnl8 (1Ipo8ed ( of
the Ninth vartl conteit by allowing the ten
men Iio ivoro tied to catt a hftlt vote
each on the understanding that two Yelser
men from the ward were to ho placeti on
the delegation to the state convention , When
it came to selecting these utt'legates V. 0.
Strlckler , one of the Niiith ward de1egnte ,
Id the two were to be chosen by the ward ,
VwhIio the other side contentled that Yelser's
friends on the de1tgatIon should make the
selection.
When this ward submitted its list of
( lelegates to the state convention , I' . S.
Condit and (1. Eubank were designated as
Yetser's men. Another report was made
naming ltawcllff nni 'Thomas for those
Places. E. F. Ilutlierforti of the Sixth coni-
. hatetl for the .econd report , while Strick-
V Icr hold that. the report matte by the ward
should bi' adopted , assuring tile convention
that Condit and Eubank would vote for
Yoiscr.Vhlo the debate was going eu
8On ) One lisked that Yelser express his
opinion upon the tpiestion ,
Yelser told the convention he did not
care who was put on the delegation so long
as they ivere selected by the few friends
lie had loft. on the representation from the
Ninth ward. This proposition caught the
convention. It cheered Yciser , and refused
1'p to ho quieted , causing Strickler to remark
that one might believe from the ( lemenstra-
tioii that it was a Yciser convention. The
( ' . $ proposition to substitute the names of flaw-
cliff and Thomas for those of Condit and
t Euhank carried with a whoop.
The only other evidence of enthusiasm
In a convention characterized by disorder
and contuiIoi was shown when Attorney
General Smyth appeared before tile (1010.
gates in response to their call and made
a short nddrcss.
' Henry Ilium , stenographer in the offlco
k ' of Governor lloicounb ; J. J. Everinghnzn ,
r cleric In the 0111cc of the state auditor ; J.
B. Jones , One of tile state grain inspectors ,
nnd Frank hUbbard , deputy oil inspector ,
were conspicuous on the hoar of the con-
ycntion during the entire proceedings.

The second act of the eolitliaibuncombo
Inaugurated by the farcical rImaries on
Friday was put on the boards yesterday
afternoon at tile so-called silver rehublican
county convention at Labor Temple , when
the delegates present appointed themselves'
to botil states and congressional nomInating
conventions.
In point of numbers , tile silver republIcan
convention was but little better than the
primaries , wiliell had shown only thirty-
two votes cast in the whole city. James
W. Carr presided as chaIrman of the county
comnmlttee and W. C. Kelly acted as see-
rotary. Frammk Ransom was V the V whole
Ninth ward himself. Dr. Savihlo anti \Vll-
llama Hayden represented the EIghth ward ,
Time First ward showed up three delegates
-It. F. Williams and Messrs. tlrucllert and
Gaynor. The Second ward was represented
by John II. Bell and BenjamIn Durham , in
addition to Secretary Kelly. 'rime Thlra bad
held no primaries and was not represented
at all. Fronl the Fourth ward there were
C. ( I. Sprague , B. M. Joimnson and S. It.
Towne. The Fifth ward alone had full
representation. From time Sixth ward there
responded J. M. Chambers , W , M. Maupmu
and T. I" . Sturgcss. By some process of
magic the mmames of five delegates from the
Seventil ward were handed to thmo secretary -
tary , thouglm no primary election hind been
lucid there. Of these only 1) . B. Gregory ,
J. U. Arthur nnd Graham Park appeared.
The whole country was wlttmolmt ropresenta-
tiomi with the exceptIon of Waterloo pre-
clmmct , In the nersoum of Dr. 11. C. W'lmeeler.
Cimalrmuaml Carr and Secrotnry ICehly acted
as botim temporary amid permnammemit organlza-
tion. There was no trouble about creden-
tiais , and there was not enoughm interest
taken to attempt to fill time numerous va-

by time representatives of time several wards ,
amid eleven vere cimosemi at large by ac-
clamation. It was wIth seine difilculty timat

Mr. lilatichard points out that time great
object of the exoosition Is to call time at-

around some loop which cami be made in a
day , then put the rate down to say 1 cemmt
Per mile , tile ticket being good only for the
( lay issued and for contimluous passage ,
vlilchm would do away with any trouble fromn
scalpers. Once a week one or more cars
could be rim over such a loop and mio doubt
the low rate would imlduce ninny Omaha
peoilo ) as well as visitors to take a day's
outing. It is suggested that a loop might
be made by going from Omaha to Norfolk ,
over the Sioux City road to Emersomi , and
home on tile St. Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha ,
Amiotimer jiossible trip would be Oniaima to
Freniont , theml to York and home over time
B. & M , The Missouri I'aciflc could make
a good loop by way of Plattaniouth , Ne.
braska City and Weeping Water.
Whatever loop was decided upomi it silould
be well advertised so that everyone would
know about it amid so that Omaha people
would advise visitors not to nilas that tea-
ture of their visit to the west. Mr.
Bianchiard says ( hint if a stranger goes to
Denver every person he talks with wIll
say , "you must go over the loop before
you return home. "
Lieutenant Colonel Johiui V. F'urey , known
iti this city as Major Fimrey , has been ap-
nolnted to l a coloneicy , the commission
dating from last % Veilmiesday. This will be
good news to tile friends of the armiiy oihi-
cer In this city , of whomn there are many
among the older resldemits. Mayor Moores
is one of hIs best and closest friends. Col-
end Furey was connected with the Depart-
memit of time Platte in this city for eight
years while General Crook was statIoned
hero and accompanIed the latter in his In-
diami campaigns. He was with the quarter-
master's department and establlsiietl the
supply depot now located here. From
Omaha he went to St. Paul , then to Washington -
ington and then to I'hiladeipbia , where he
is now stationed. He is deputy quarter.
master in charge of the depot at Phila-
delpimla , time second largest if not the largest -
est in the country. He lies been a coil-
sclentious and hardworking oflicer and has
incurred the Ire of mnamiy an unscrupulous
seller to the government by hIs insistence
that the goods sold to time United States
should be of the heat. lie owes his pro-
motiomi to these characteristIcs. He served
throughout time war tInder McClellan and
emitered the quartermaster's department at
the close of the robellloim ,
Ezra Emery , an old Omaha boy , who now
looks after Union PacIfic interests at Rock
Springs , Wyo. . stopped in to look at Time
flee's new press last milght. lie inspected
with some satisfaction and said : "Tlmo
great improvement in printIng nressea in the
last ton or fifteen years Is wonderful. A
great press like this that prints any miuniber
of pages , cuts , foids and counts ( lie papers
is imiteresting to any one , but to no one
more tiian to me. Twenty years ago I
worked in time press room of The Omaha Lice
and as I recall the machuimmery we worked
with imi tlmoso days and commtrast It vith this
big press time advance appears marvelous.
Our circuation then was about 1,900 papers
and my work was to told the papers. I was
aomnewhat of a success as a folder and had
a record of beIng able to fold thIrty-two
papers a mInute. That was the cimampion
record of the town. I remuember omico we
had a naner folding contest , the winner
being offered the position of having charge
of the old Herald's mailimmg room. It was
a pretty stiff competition among a number
of time Onialma boys , hut I nulied mit first ,
beating my own record , I remmienmber quite
well when the first folding maclilac was nut
in by any paper In these parts. It was
owned by The Bee , It was separate from time
press amid required a separate feeder , but
it was not altogether a success. The changes
frommi that day until this , when time paper
comes out folded as is desired and already
counted , cami best be appreciated by one
who actually folded time papers Ia time old
