Outside of the usual musical attraction nt
the exposition Tuesday the races drew the
largest crowd , In fact the largest attendance
that has been had since the races were put
on , came out and enjoyed a good program.
The weather being cooler for one thing ,
wade It more comfortable on the bleach
ers. There Is complaint that It Is too hot
to alt with no cover overhead , and an at
tempt will be made to have a roof of some
sort put Up over the grandstand In order
to afford a more comfortable place for slght-
eccrs.
The most Important race was the pice
and trot of the 2 20 class. This was run
in two heats , a mile each * 1 proved an
attractive and Interesting t 3l of speed.
Kony won first place In each heat , D'Ojley
nccond and Kate Shelly third. Time , first
heat , 2:291/4 : ; second heat , 2 30. In the last
heat Kate Shelly made a pretty spurt In the
first half , but eho was unable to hold her
own and fell back to third place on the
homo-stretch.
The hnlt-mllc dash was won by Tidal
Wave ; time , 0:50. North Hose was second
and Lotd Howard came In last. It was a
hard matter to get the horses off properly ,
but the race was a pretty one when they
got under way.
Tidal Wave came out best In the seven-
sixteenths of a. mile dash also , making the
distance In 0:44H- : North Hose came In
necond and Little Girl third. The race was
one of the mrtu exciting of the afternoon
and the horses made a clean race , finishing
In elegant shape.
The three-eighths of a mile dash was ex
citing , four entries being made. Dandy Jim
won first place , Mary I ) second , Brandy-
wlno third and Omaha Boy , an Indian pony
and a now horse on the track , took last
place , although bo did some good work.
Time : 0-30 % .
Two Indian pony races made lots of fun
for the people on the grandstand. The first
one was won by Little Wound , Feather-
man coming second and Shout For third.
The squaw race was the funniest of all , the
women sitting on their ponies as though
they wore giown fast to them , their plg-
- / tails of hair flying out behind and their
queer trappings streaming In the breczo
made n ludicrous sight. Lucy Hcd Cloud
won the race and Stella Yellow Shirt , Her
Good Road and Julia Lone Elk followed in
a procession.
A foot race between three Indians who
were about naked was a little diversion In
terpolated near the middle of the after
noon. Felix Slow Bear , whoso speed belled
his name , won the race , Thomas American
Horse second and Ground Spider third.
Time : 0:11 : % .
Tor Saturday afternoon Mr. Russell has
arranged a line program of running races
end a novelty Is to be Introduced which will
doubtless prove eminently a drawing card.
The , first thing on the program will be a
match race between Miss Marie LaBlanche ,
the fastest lady bicyclist In the world , and
Hastings Boy , one of the best horses on the
track. Miss LaBlanche's record Is 2:15. A
purse of $50 Is up on the race ,
Nc\t week a good program will bo given
and It Is now the plan to have the races
toy electric light In the evening. It Is
thought that this will bo more attractive to
visitors. The weeds are being mowed down
in the flcldInside the track and other im
provements are being made to the track and
surroundings.

Several republican cluba met Tuesday
night and took up the work of the fall cam
paign with much enthusiasm. Candidates
for the different offices In the county made
speeches , which were liberally appteudcd ,
and every Indication was to the effect that
a vigorous and successful battle Is to bo
waged.
A meeting that was brimful of Interest
and enthusiasm from start to finish was the
ono held by the members of the Fifth Ward
Republican club at Sherman avenue and
U > cust street. About the first thing to stir
up the Interest was the adoption of resolu
tions In the nature of a welcome home to
the Thurston Rifles by the club. The resolu
tions were ringing In tone , and not only
welcomed home the brave bojs , but
eulogized their bravery and good work on
behalf of tbo nation and also extended the
sympathy of the club to those who hod been
bereaved by reason of the Toss of loved ones
In ibattlo or by disease. After the few mat
ters of business had been , transacted "the
good of the order" was taken up , and ( sev
eral speeches were made. Among thoeo who
spoke were P. B. Bryant , candidate for
county treasurer ; E. J. Bodwcll , candidate
for county superintendent , and W. A. Saun-
dere , candidate for county Judge. R. W.
Richardson , made ono of the strongest
speeches of the evening and he was rewarded
with vociferous and piolonged applause ,
The Eighth Ward Republican club held a
rousing meeting In the hall at the corner of
Twenty-eecond and Cumlng streets , and
among other things speeches were listened
"to from several candidates. There was a
large attendance at the meeting and en
thusiasm ran high. Among those who epoke
were Messrs. Hclinrod , Bcvens , Burkett and
Ho ! nice. Twenty-five now members were
added to the club and the prospects for as
many more at the next meeting are more
than rosy.
0. C. Wolcott , candidate from the Sixth
ward for county Judge , addressed a well at
tended meeting of the Ninth Ward Repub
lican club His subject was , "The Repub
lican Party , " the address being a brief , but
Interesting review ofthe party's history.
The special topics touched upon were the
reconstruction period , the resumption of
speclo payments , and the sound financial
system of the present administration. No
reference won made ito local politics.
At a meeting of Swedish-American
Garflcld club Dr. N. I' . Swanson was en

COUNCIL CONCEDES TO ROADS
Votes to Enter Into tka Agreement to Gain
Viaducts.
INJUNCTION THREATENED BY VIERLING
Snjn < Iic Only IlrxiiU Will tic < n Tic
( lie Mnttrr Up In Court for
Two or Thrrc Yciir
More.
The city council reversed Us position on
the viaduct matter Tuesday night and after
having previously gone on record several
11 nice as oppcecd to the closing of Seven
teenth street to obtain the bulldlnc of tlio
Sixteenth street and other viaducts within
specified tlmpfl , voted to withdraw Us ob
jections and enter Into the agreement pio-
posed by the roads.
This course was recommended by the
committee on street Improvements and via
ducts In a report reciting the various
reasons why the proposition should bo ac
cepted , which have been Rene over several
times In previous meetings. In addition
the action of the Fifth Ward , Southwest
and other Improvement clubs In demanding
the acceptance of the agreement waa cited.
The committee said It had gene over all the
consideration ! ) carefully and had como to
the conclusion that further refusal to ac
cept the conditions laid down by the roads
would rcoult disastrously to the interests of
the city.
ningham arraigned the committee for not
having brought up the matter In general
committee the day before. He said the
committee used queer reasoning and wanted
to know what the long fight In the courts
had been for If the roads were still to
dtctAto to the city. If It was right to rob
one man to benefit another , then the com
mittee won right. Months ago the council
had ordered the city attorney to proceed
against the roads and make them build
the viaduct , but nothing had been done.
The Fifth warders might have an Interest
In the south side of the city , but the motive
of their action was well known. The coun
cil , Blngham charged , had not had from the
city attorney the assistance It was en
titled to.
Stuht replied that the matter had not
been brought up the day before because It
had been before the council for two years.
Ho declared his only desire In bringing In
such a report from the committee was to
build up the city and not keep It at a stand
still.
AttncUn the Union Pnclllc.
A. J. Vlerllng asked permission to nd-
dress the council. He said the fight on
the part of the Union Pacific had been like
the Spanish side of the last war. Presi
dent Burt had asked the property owners
of Seventeenth street Into consultation and
had then smarted his ward heelers to workIng -
Ing up sentiment In the clubs In favor of
the proposition. He warned the council
that any attempt on the part of he council
to enter Into ho proposed agreement with
the roads would simply tlo up proceedings
In the courts , the end the roads were seek
ing as a temporary makeshift. It would
afford them a respite of two or three years.
By this Mr. Vlerllng meant , as he explained
later In the evening , that his company
would In all probability try to enjoin the
city from entering Into the contract with
tl'o roads.
President Green of the Southwest Im
provement club was called for by Stuht. He
made a plea for the Interests of Twenty-
fourth street as against those of Sixteenth
street. In reply Mr , Vlerllng said that
his company had told the roads that It they
wanted to buy their property they would
sell and move away. He asked whether the
city wanted to keep pay rolls or drive them
away.
City Attorney Connell replied to the state
ments of Blngham that he had not done
all he might have done In the matter. Hd
said that until the ordinance had been
passed there was nothing the attorney could
do. He had believed it was necessary for
the growth of Omaha that the entry of roads
should be favored and he believed In the
present case that the valuable public Im
provements which the roads offered should
bo obtained by reasonable concessions. The
council was confronted with a condition and
not a theory. The victory won In the
courts was not worthless , but on the con
trary was worth 11,000,000 to the city. It
would bring the city viaducts which would
connect It with South Omaha and make
the two one compact city. He asserted that
no court with any self-respect would enjoin
the city from entering Into the agreement ,
because Mr Vlerllng and his associates Ind
as jet no cause In court Ho regretted that
the president of. the council had seen fit
to take him to task , but there had been
no delay which could have been avoided
but that of the council In failing to adopt
the agieement. Ho admitted being n prop
erty owner In Twenty-fourth street , but
was not swayed by that consideration.
"ow the Vittf Stood.
The matter was discussed with consid
erable heat and the members of the council ,
the city attorney and Mr. Vlerllng dis
played more feeling than has been shown
In the council chamber for a long time.
Upon the adoption of the committee report
the vote was as follows :
Ayes Karr , Lobeck , Mercer , Mount ,
Stuht. Nays Burkley , Burmester , Bins-
ham. Absent Bechcl
A resolution Instructing the city attorney
to notify the two roads that the city's
repudiation of the clause In Its proposition
relating to tbo closing of Seventeenth street
was wlthlrawn and Inviting the roads to
submit a slgnod agreement , was Introduced
by Stuht. It was passed without a division
after Burmester had Insisted that a proviso
bo attached on requiring the payment of the
city's claims against the roads for \laduct
repairs anil ugiuing ueroro mo signing or.
the agreement.
Other MnttrrN.
Mayor Moores submitted his veto of a
resolution parord at 'tho last meeting , re
quiring all electric power and light com
panies < o send linemen to every tire and
ordering a fire gong placed In every electric
power house In the city. His reasons were
that a subject so nerlous should not bo
hastily passed over In a mere resolution and
that tbo arrangement was not a good or
permanent one. The vote was sustained.
A protest from a largo number of licensed
hotel runners against special permits to
other runners , was read. The protestants
claimed that the runners operating under
the so-called "special permits" were In no
way different from those who had to pay
$30 per year for a license and that many of
them were no less able to pay the regular
llenso fee. They claimed there had been
discrimination. A resolution Instructing tbo
chief of police to arrest an runners for all
kinds of lodging houses and restaurants
operating without a badge and llcenso was
passed.
An ordinance to repeal the bicycle lamp
ordinance , by Blngham by request , was read
twice.
The council refused to make any allowance
for the expenses of the city veterinarian and
city phjBlclan In attending the national
veterinarian's convention In New York.
An Invitation from the committee In
charge of the welcome to Company L to par
ticipate In the parade was accepted.
Ordinances passed ; Creating sewer dis
trict No. 239 ; to Improve Chicago street
from Sixteenth to Twenty-second.
SlromrrN Juiiiii Their lloinl ,
Mr. and Mrs Slromer , the couple brought
Into police court a day or two ago for beatIng -
Ing their young daughter , have fled to parts
unknown , leaving their bondsman and their
attorney holding the sack. When Attorney
Holmes cot out an attachment on their
hou chold goods for his fees they had nome
presentiment of what was coming , so that
when Constable Hardy went to servo the at
tachment ho found that the family hid
packed up and left at 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning. An expressman was finally found
who admitted hauling the goods over the
river Into Iowa. The constable Is fltlll nt

the courts arc not done with the Stromcrs

IMntform IN Adopted ,
When , as the reading was completed ,
Kdgar Howard moved tha-t an "amendment bo
added providing that no nominee of the con
vention should accept a railroad pace , and
thereby ho let loose the dogs of war. Matt
Gerlus moved that the amendment bo re
ferred to the committee on resolutons , and
Howard decided to withdraw his amend
ment "for the present. " The platform as
recommended was then unanimously adoptod.
The anti-pass amendment was then offered
in the form of a resolution and a reference
to the committee on resolutions was promptly
moved. This motion was Ignored at the
suggestion of W. H. Thompson , who urged
that the resolution too adopted without a
dissenting vote. The resolution was put on
Its passage and about n dozen delegates
voted "ayo" The negative cllclid an
equally reluctant response and the chair de
clared the resolution adopted.
An Invitation to Mr. Bryan to address the
populist convention was rend by the chair
man nml Matt Gerintr moved , by way of
reciprocity , thai W. V. Allen bo requested
to speak to the democrats. It vvns carried
and Goring and Allen of Lancaster were
designated to convey the Invitation to Sena
tor Allen and to escort him before the con
vention.
> A resolution by W. H. Thompson , en-
dorslnc 'tho ' work of W. H. Harvey was
adopted without debate.
The report of the conference committee ,
which provided that the conventions proceed
to ballot for judge of the supreme court ,
until some oerson should be declared the
nominee in all three conventions , and that
each of the two conventions that did not
geit the supreme Judgeshlp should have a
regent , was read and adopted.
Allen Talk * for Fnnloit.
At tills Juncture Senator Allen appeared
and proceeded to declare most forcibly for
fusion by the Holcomb route. Ho said that
this was an emergency In which men could
not consider their personal prejudices and
win. Ho appealed to tiho delegates not to
Jose the opportunity to carry the banner
of reform to victory on account of dissen
sions and personal bitterness. If the demo
crats would unite with the oormllsts and
silver republicans they could carry the state
In November by from 10.000 to 20.000 ma
jority.
lAfter Senator Allen had resumed his seat
W. S. Shoemaker of Omaha moved his nomi
nation for supreme judge by acclimation ,
but the Incipient bocrn was nipped by an
emphatic declaration from the senator that
he would not accept Bunder any circum
stances. Shoemaker refused to subside and
continued to talk In the midst of an uproar
that overwhelmed his voice.
Mimliimloii of llolcomli.
The report of the first ballot In the popu
list convention , which gave Holcomb 839 of
Its 1,049 votes , was then read and Matt
Gerlng moved that , Inasmuch as Holcomb
had received a practically unanimous nomi
nation In the populist convention he be de
clared the democratic nominee by acclama
tion. There was an Immediate and deafen
ing commotion In which cheers , groans and
cat calls were promiscuously Intermingled.
Edgar Howard raised the point of order
that the convention had already determined
to proceed to the nomination of a Judge of
the supreme court and demanded a roll
call. He was accommodated , and the roll
was called on Gerlns'fi motion to nominate
Holcomb by acclamation. Through a mls-
appiehenslon the delegations announced
their votes by candidates and the ballot
resulted : Holcomb , M7 , Ed P. Smith , 173 ;
Samuel Maxwell. 22 , Harvey D. Tropp , 23 ;
Kretslnger , 33 ; Allen , 29 , W II. Thomp
son , 12.
The nomination was then made unanimous
and the result of the ballot was not even an
nounced
Smith's vote came largely from Buffalo ,
Sounders. Richardson , Washington , Nemoha ,
Xuekols , Polk and Cumlng counties.
Tropp's twcnty-tbice votes came from Cafes
and Thompson's vote from Harlan. Kret
slnger received the solid Gage county vote
and Maxwell got Dodge and Keya Paha. The
Douglas county vote was Holcomb , 38 ;
Allen , 23 , and Smith , 1. Ltncaster county
cast tin ce for Smith and the balance for
Holcomb.
llrj mi HrNiiomln to Call for Speech.
After Holcmnb's nomination was accom
plished there was n renewed demand for
Bryan , who spoke at some length In favor
of harmony In the campaign. Ho aroutcd
marked enthusiasm by declaring that there
la now only one kind of democrat In Ne
braska , and that Is a Chicago platform dem
ocrat. There Is not a plank in that plat
form that Is not stronger today than It was
before it was written nnd every principle
It enunciated will eventually bo engrafted
Into law. Ho declared that this country Is
governed by Curopo and the people will
never drop the money question as long as
the finances of the United States are domi
nated by the money power ot England.
Mr. Bryan then paid his respects to tlio
trusts and declared that when a law Is
patsod that will pi event every corporation
from dolrg business outsldo the state In
which It is organized without a license
from the federal government the trusts can
bo effectively regulated.
In Ilvhnlf of the rillplnon.
Continuing , Mr. Brjan said that the people
of this country believe 1n a citizen boldlery
and not a hired , professional soldiery In
soldiers who fight when there Is fighting to
be done and who come homo when the fight
ing Is over. He asserted once more that
if the same assurance of Independence had
been clven to the Flllnlnos that was gven
to tbo Cubans they would bo our friends
today Instead of our enemies. We spent
hundreds of thousands of lives and hundreds
of millions of money to establish the doc
trine that one man cannot own another ,
and now bo protested uealnst sacrificing
more lives and spending more money to es
tablish 'thn ' doctrine that ono nation can
cross tlio ocean and own another.
Mr. Brjan spoke at length and with much
earnestness nlonz the line thus outlined.
Ho tainted an eloquent picture of liberty
as applied to the Philippine archipelago and
denounced the policy of an administration
that , ho declared , is trampling on the
Declaration of Independence , He contended
that It Is not yet too late to terminate the
controversy by reraovlnc our armies and
permitting the Filipino ito be free , nnd
that If President McKlnley is afraid to as
sume the responsibility of such a step he
should call congresa together and throw the

The committee previously appointed tn

above the confusion and Jones ot Ltucastor
made a hit by moving to adopt the report
without rending. It was carried and Henry

pointed as a committee to escort the candi

tion.

Mr. Holcomb spoke briefly ami referred to
the fact that It was his onn candidacy for
governor that had been the first result efFusion
Fusion In Nebraska. Ho said that he was
the more gratified that the nomination for
the supreme bosich came to him unsolicited.
His friends had been active , but ho had
not sought the honor. Ho did not want It
now unlcf It was the iintrammelcd wish of
a largo majority of the fusion party of Ne
braska. Ho caught the crowd by address-
Ins It In conclusion ns "Fellow Democrats"
and then declared It was not his baltlr
but the battle ot the fusion pary. On the
pass question he Intimated that ho was thu
only original opponent of free transportation
tn connection with a judicial position. He
did not deny that he had used pisscb while
bo was governor , but declared that ho had
never been swerved from his duty by any
such consideration. If bo was elected supreme
premo Judge ho would not accept favors
of that kind from any corporation.
The report ot the committee on club or
ganization contemplated the organization ot
the fusion voters Into "Young Men's Amer
ican" clubs and provided a common consti
tution and by-laws.
By this time the vote on regents was an
nounced and , as there was no choice , a
second ballot was ordered. The Douglas
county delecatlon had been busily cutting
ice durlni : Holcomb's epccch and the re
sult was apparent dn a general movement
otolcs in Rich's direction. Blackburn at
tempted to withdraw , but his friends would
not have it that way , and the trouble pro
ceeded. Every time a county failed to respond
spend some Douclas county delegate voted
It for iRlch and it ivvent. This developed
some acidity as the roll call continued , but
Rloh rolled up 431 votes to 373 for Black
burn. A Holt county delegate moved that
Inasmuch as Douglas county had voted every
county In its nelchborhood , the ballot be
sot aside as fraudulent. It was announced
that the lights would bo turned out In Ilvo
minutes and the mctlon was voted down.
The convention adjourned Just before mid
night.

Numerically the silver republican state
convention , which was called to order In
Mornnd's hall by Chairman J. N. Lyman of
Adams county , yesterday afternoon at 2:30 : ,
was but a small proportion of the fusion
forces gathered In the city , but what was
lacking In numbers wae more than made up
In the enthusiasm of the delegates present ,
who have acquired , In the time elapsing be
tween their desertion of the republican
party and the present , their full share of
wind , for which the average fuslonlst Is
noted.
W. M. Maupln of Douglas county was se
lected as temporary chairman , and later
was succeeded by H. D. Kelley of Madison
county , who was elected permanent chair
man. P. J. Blrss of Thayer comity , th *
temporary secretary , was made the perma
nent secretary.
The convention had hardly been organ
ized when the mooted pass question was
brought in ns an Issue by a resolution Intro
duced by Robert Armstrong of York County.
The resolution demanded that no one should
bo considered as a candidate for any office
until he had first pledged himself to ono ( it
the thieo conventions not to accept free
transportation of any kind. It provoked a
lively discussion , although it * wns apparent
fiom the stall that there was no opposition
to the sentiment of 'hp resolution , but It
was oppcusd by several far the reason that
the phraseology was not satisfactory tn
them. Lieutenant-Governor Gilbert en
dorsed thu resolution In the strongest terms
nnd recommended Us passige before the
regular rosolutlonn committee hud furnished
its report In order that candidates , who
ever they might be , would bo served with
notice In advance of their nomination that
there was to be no middle ground on tne
pass question.
Mr. Armstrong's resolution was first
adopted and then , upon reconsideration ,
turned down , whereupon a committee con
sisting of J. N. Ljman of Adams , E. A.
Gilbert of York , and E. E Brown of Lan
caster , was appointed to draft a similar
resolution , which was unanimously adopted
as followb * ,
Resolved , by the silver republicans of the
state of Nebraska tn convention assembled ,
That the reform forces of this state are op
posed to the persons nominated and elected
by them for any public olllco receiving or
using free transportation from any railroad
company or any transportation furnished
to them nt a lower rate than that accorded
to the geneial public.
Resolved , That the nominees of the fusion
convention now In session bo nnd they are
hereby requested to appear before ono or

that they wlir not during the campaign or
