The gcneinl opinion li that vhen the Ninth congrestlonnl district convention re assembles thin afternoon tlio deadlock will bo broken .vnd that n nomination will bo effected. The belief > esturda ) ' wan that the .nomination . would 'fall 'to ' either Myers or Mcl'herson , the supporters of both these candidates being equally confident of win ning out before the convention would take another adjournment. Speaker Byers , who spent Sunday nt home , arrived from Har- Inn yesterday morning nnd put In the greater part of the day with his lieutenants and the leading members of the Pottawnt- j T' ; tamlo delegation. Byers nnd his friends feel ) exceptionally sanguine and say there Is no doubt now but ho will be nominated. 13. D. Brown , who has been one of the most active of Mr. Myers' supporters , stated yes terday that he expected the candidate from Shelby county to be nominated on the second end ballot. Although ho declined to give his reasons It Is understood ho bases his expectation on the assurance that since the adjournment Saturday Byers has secured n number of proxies from Hager delegates who do not expect to bo back when the convention reassembles. Hnger men say the Hnger delegations will be In attend ance to a man. The Byers men claim four teen of the Hnger delegates , whose second choice has been McPherson , will , when the break from Hager takes place , go to Byers Instead of to the candidate from Montgom- eiy county nnd they will give him the nomination nnd leave him votes to spare. This Is denied both by the Hager and Mc Pherson men. Since the adjournment the McPherson and Curtis forces have adjusted their little dif ferences and on the first ballot this after noon the delegates from Cass county will cast their votes for the Red Oak man. There Is also strong talk of Hager throwing his strength to McPherson nnd If he does the reinitiation of the Montgomery candidate Is assured. A strong effort has been made to Induce tht > Pottawattamle delegation to agree to go to McPherson In the event Bytrs cannot be nominated this afternoon , but it is understood no assurances could be got. Since the adjournment Saturday consider able discussion has been gains on as to how long delegates are bound by their In structions. Old newspaper files containing the reports of former conventions have been diligently searched and It appears that on July 30 , 1880 , the Pottawattamlo county republican convention unanimously adopted the following resolution : "Re solved , That the delegates from Pottawat tamlo county to the congressional conven tion bo and arc hereby Instructed to vote flist , last and all the Jmo for Colonel W. F. Sapp ns our candidate for representa tive and that they use all honorable means to secure his nomination. " It appears that notwithstanding these In structions on August 17 , 1880 , * at the con gressional convention on the 243d ballot , John W. Chapman , Spencer Smith and Major E. A. Conslgney , chairman of the Potta- wattamle delegation In the present conven tion , left Colonel Sapp , although he had at the time. If they voted for him , fifty-three votcfa , of which thirty-eight were from outside - side this county , nnd he was then within four votes of the nomination. The advocates of a break In the local delegation nro good naturedly Insisting that f the genial major from the east end should bo satisfied with the precedent established by himself nnd not continue to hold the club of "Instructions" over the heads of other members of the delegation who are ready to climb Into the band wagon of the man from Montgomery county. Major H. G. Curtis of Atlanta and several - eral of the Cass county delegates arrived lust night , as did Major E. A. Conslgney of Avoca , chairman of the Pottawattamle county delegation. Among the rumors floating around last night was one that the name of C. M. Harl would be presented to the convention after a few ballots had been cast this afternoon , by the Harrison county delegates. Anotheri iwas that Hon. John N. Baldwin of this city might possibly be sprung as a dork horse. . , Although It Is generally 'believed that the convention will moke a nomination today , no definite Information was obtain- nblo last night as to any particular deal In this direction having been made. MEKTIMi OF Till : CITY COUNCIL. PrtltloiiM nml ItoNoliitloiiH on .MiiUrrx Arc I.nlil Over. The city council met In adjourned session last evening for the express purpose of tak ing action on the resolution providing for the paving of u number of streets nnd ave nues. Since the publication of the resolu tion a largo number of petitions and re monstrances from Interested property own ers had been received and the matter was. after considerable discussion , laid over to next Monday night. The petitions nnd re monstrances were all referred to the com mittee of the whole , which will meet Wednesday evening and listen to whatever any of the property owners affected by the resolution have to say. The committee will then report at the meeting next Monday night. The following communication from Hon. J. E. E. Markley of the Iowa Exposition commission and chairman of the committee on ceremonies for Iowa day at the Trans- mlsslsslppl Exposition was referred to a special committee of the maor and Alder men Shubert , Casper and Mctcnlf : "Dear Sir : The Omaha exposition Is a pronounced success , second only in beauty and size to the World's Columbian exposi tion. All Iowa people will desire to pay a visit to tbe fair before It closes In October. The different states participating In the ex position have selected das as state days , when they expect to have a program of ex ercises devoted to the exfoliation of the ad vantages of the particular state. The Iowa commission has selected September 21 as Iowa day at the exposition. As Iowa Is the llrst in Importance of nil the transmlssls- slppl states , auil as the exposition Is held 'upon bluffs overlooking Iowa soil , at our Immediate western boundary , Iowa day should be , and will be , the greatest day , in point of attendance , of any of the state days. "You are doubtless aware that tbe legis lature , feeling impelled by the condition of the state finances , appropriated but a small sum for the purpose of exhibiting Inua's Industries nnd products at the exposition. Th ' commission has aimed to make the best possible showing with tbo money at its command , but it will be Impossible for tbo commission to devote more than $2,000 to the expenses of the day. The commission boa decided that It would appeal to the state and local pride of tbo various communities , cities , towns and counties In the atato to assist It In making Iowa day the great orcut that It should bo. "The plan agreed on by the commission Is to Invite each city and county In the state to get up an excursion to bo In Omaha on Iowa day and take part In the Iowa day parade. Wo also wish those cities and counties having uniformed bands to arrange to take the band with them on the excur sion and have it march In the procession with a banner designating the town or county from which It comes. Each county can readily do this with little or no expense above railroad faro of the persons who go and take part In the parade. Civic so cieties , , city officers , county officers , com mercial or business men's clubs or other marching organizations can bo had from every county In the state , It the citizens of the towns and counties In the state will take a little Interest and present It to the taP people. "Tho parade from the down town districts of Omaha to the exposition grounds will consist of the Crocker brigade , a cavalry company from Des Molncs , the Agricultural cadets , the governor and his staff , state officers , United States senators and repre sentatives , the ex-governors and ex-senators of the state nnd the marching organizations which may come from the different towns and counties of the state. These will bo arranged by congressional districts , each congressional district forming a division of the parade and subdivided In to'counties and towns having uniformed bands. "All uniformed bands will bo admitted free to the exposition grounds and wo are now endeavoring to make arrangements with the rallioad companies of the state to carry bonds In uniform free to Omaha on that day , where a certain number of ex cursion tickets are sold. Wo are already assured of some fifteen brass bands nnd If the people will take an Interest In the mat ter we feel sure that there will be not less than fifty uniformed bands in the parade. Hon. R. O. Cousins , congressman from the Fifth district , the most noted Iowa orator , will deliver the oration. Governor Shaw will also deliver an address. "I think It would be well for you to call n meeting of the Business Men's organiza tion , or , if jou have no commercial club , then a meeting of the business men of the city nnd lay the matter before them. I sincerely | hope that every county In the state will bo able to send a uniformed band to Omaha and a marching contingent of citi zens or civic societies and carry a banner with the name of their town or county upon It. It Is quite probable that we will be able to arrange for a rate of 1 cent a mile for Iowa day , which will afford the people an opportunity to see the great exposition without too much expense. Very truly yours , J. E.'E. MARKLEY. "Chairman of Committee on Ceremonies for Iowa Day at Exposition.

Sammla of Lemurs Is quoted as de claring that he has assurances of tbo solid support of the Dubuque convention in the Eleventh congressional district. The Burlington Gazette sadly remarks that the Sixth district convention saw fit to turn down so stalwart a democrat as James R. Burgess and nominate Hon. James B. Weaver In his place , and that If this be democracy , then the veteran democrats of Iowa have not been sulllclently instructed In the meaning of the word. Cedar Rapids Republican : No one seems to desire nomination at the bands of th'e popccratlc state convention ; neither Is there any one holding out his hands for congres sional nominations. And It Is said ten men have refused the office of state chairman. The vindication which these patriots de clared would come In the future must be sidetracked somewhere. After many years of devotion to the principles of the democratic party the Charles City Citizen announces Its con version to the opposition and in renouncing Us faith of the past the Citizen quotes that saying of President Lincoln : "Stand with anbody that's right , stand with him while he Is right and part with him when ho goes wrong.

Adjutant General Bjcra , when nskcd this morning how soon n new national guard would'bo organl/ed for Iowa said he could not tell certainly but a movement In this direction would bo made in the near fu- ture. "We nro very likely to wait , " General - oral Dyers said , "until the low a regiments nro Rent north and mustered out , for we nro going to give the members of the four Iowa reslmcnts who were sent out to war this jear the first opportunity to enlist In the new national guard.

" Each In turn was greeted by a relative or friend and as he extended his hand to meet that of his friends a smile stole over his face that told of the strife that was going on within to appear strong and brave. The * car left Chlckomouga last Wednesday night with fifty-two aboard. They were put ofl nt tbo railway connection that would get them home quickest.
