.Charles White appealed from the decision
of tlui chair.
A call of wards was had on the appeal.
When the First ward cast nine votes to sus
tain the ruling Joe Hutlcr demanded u poll
of the ward. It wns had anil only eight dele
gates were found present , although the other
came In later and the vote was cast us an
nounced. The chair wns sustained by n
strait-lit factional vote of 61 to 27.
Charles White then moved to adjourn un
til S p. m. , hut the chair held this BUb-
Etltute also out of order , while the County
Democracy leaders howled In derlslou nnd
.shouted their protest against gag rule and
rotten ruling.
When It came to the vote on the proposi
tion to adjourn until Saturday next Louis
Pmttl claimed the privilege of explaining
lile vote , the chair frequently calling him
.to order when he Bald that this was an
effort to sidetrack a man who had been en-
di-rtcd for mayor by the democrats ot
Oii.iilni , and that those who were- responsi
ble for It will have to answer to the demo-
ciatH for their failure to do the expressed
\ > lh of the party.
W. P. Wapplch , who was present on r.
pio.vy. said the democrats of Omaha hail
sent thu dolcgateH to the convention ex-
poctlng thum to do their duty "nnd not betray -
tray them an Judas did Christ. " Howls ot
( terlslon followed thU outburst , to which
Wapplch replied that they could howl
iiv.ay , "but I will not burn half as bad us
will the people when they get at yon. " He
sale' ' that n ring of Her | eight men waa
trying to overturn > ho will of the democ
racy as pledged nt the primaries.
Joe Ilutler , another proxy delegate , sought
to protest In casting his vote an a poll of
lib tuird , but howls made his remarks un >
liiielllgtbla nnd amid the deafening din Ed
O'Connor made himself heard when ho de
clared Hint If the majority would give ono
good reason for the adjournment he would
suuport It.

"You can carry It , " said he , "with your
f > l to 37 voles , but thcro must bo something
roltcn In It. It IK a cowardly trick and I
din opposed to It. "

Bame effect.
Seventh ward members of the minority
"Every Cloud Has
a Silver Lining"
The cloud ! of bad blood enveloping
hum&nity have a silver lining in the shape
of 4 specific to remove them , H is Hood's
SarsapjirillA , America's Greatest Medicine ,
iMch drives out all impurities from the
blood , of either sex or any age.
expressed themselves to the same effect In
explaining their votes. It was stated that
the majority was holding clubs over the
heads ot some of their own .delegates and
compelling them to vote for'this adjourn
ment when they did not favor It. H was
declared by John E. Regan that the ad
journment meant , the defeat ot the demo
cratic party and denounced the gag rule
that was being enforced by the majority.
"I understand that the third gentleman
on the front row dealres to vote against
this adjournment , " said Wapplch. His ref
erence was to Gcorgo Sautter , who occupied
the position indicated nnd who had been
voted as n part of the nine .votea of the i
First ward In the alllrmutlvo. A dozen men
were talking for each side at once and all
together , but the vote was carried through
and when the laet ward had been called
Chairman O'Neill asked If there were any
present who desired to change their votes.
"I desire to vote no , " shouted Sautter , and
the convention went wild with contending
excitement.
"I want to vote no also , " shouted Dele
gate Marr of the Fifth ward , and It became
apparent that the victory ot the Jncksonlan
chieftains over Colonel Molso In that ward
was not as pronounced as It would appear
from the returns of the primaries , for Dele
gates McKcnnn and Martin Tlghe followed
Marr'e example.
Majority Ovt'r ( iiK Ilclf.
Hut the majority was too strong , nnd the
motion to adjourn for n week carried by a
vote of fiO to 31. The convention Imme
diately broke up In great disorder , nnd most
of the Jncksonlnn delegates made them
selves Kcarco at once. A few remained and
engaged In angry altercation wlMi the ap
parently vanquished enemy , the Intercourse
hern and ( hero threatening personal vlo-
i lence.
After n quarter of an hour of recrimina
tion W. P. Wupplch mounted the platform
and astonished nearly everyone prctcnt by
declaring that the majority had overstepped
Itself. It had adjourned until 2 p. m. Satur
day , when , In fact , the law required that the
certificates ) of nomination bo filed with the
city clrrk by noon of that day. This an
nouncement fell like a bomb upon the few
Jacksonlans remaining within hailing dis
tance.
Ed O'Connor moved that the convention
reconvene and the motion met with approval.
Lists were at once started atoumt to secure
the signatures of delegates for nn Immedi
ate meeting und forty.four were secured ,
but before the completion of the llste Chair
man O'Neill disappeared. It had been unttd
that O'Neill had agreed lo call to order If
n majority of the delegated requested it. ]
Ilcdlam reigned In the hall during the work I
of securing thp signatures and O'Neill was
finally surrounded and brought back to thu
hall.

Ho rapped to order and gold that ho ap
peared In hid Individual capacity to buy that
If the mistake claimed had been commlttnd
It ought to bo corrected , but ho would novrr
iccall the convention until every delegate
I'ud ' been notified nud given n chance to
attend.
Louis Plattl reported that a conference
of both factions had derided that each should
appoint a committee of three to meet In the
evening and arrange n plan out of the di
lemma.
O'Neill refused to entertain any motion ,
nnd nsJ. . K. Ulley demanded nn Immediate
mcethiR the forty-four signatures were
thrust nt the chairman by Aselntnnt Secre
tary Unrtc. HP refused to look nt them ,
and u motion prevailed that on account of
his jefusal to preside the assistant secre
tary do so nnd the convention go on.
J. E. Hlley was made chairman. Plnttl
sought to curb the ardor of his p.irtlcnns
nnd induce them to nwalt n conference , but
without avail. Thomas Swift sought lo toll
the convention that Utirkley had told him
that ho absolutely would not accept n nomi
nation , but he Was howled down.
In the midst of the din someone moved
n reconsideration ot the motion to adjourn
until next Saturday and It prevailed with
n whoop.
Chairman Hllcy made nn ImpaselnneJ
speech In favor of action for the democratic
party , and James O'Connell from the silver
republican convention announced that the
silver republicans nnd populists proposed
to go ahead and nominate n ticket nnd "If
yon fellows want Into It send a conference
committee- over nt 7:30 : tonight. "
An adjournment was thereupon taken un
til 8 o'clock.
Stilt III 1'luhtliiK Humor.
When the hour for reconvening arrived
the Jacksonlana were about all present , nnd
nboentccs were represented by proxies. Some
of the best champions of the respective par-
tics were there on proxies , among them
being Ed P. Smith. Meantime Durkley had
Informed Fanning and othtrs that he would
not ncccpt the nomination It It were ten
dered him , but they did not announce It nnd
the fight went on as before , the county
democracy trying to force his nomination.
The Jacksonlans held n caucus and decided
to go ahead with the meeting to avoid -any
possible question ns to the certificates , al
though It waa contended that nuiple time
would be had after next Saturday to comply
with tte law.
O'Neill reappeared and was introduced by
Hlley In a conciliatory speech , which was
rccelvod with cheers. The motion to ad
journ wns again reconsidered.
Dr. Hippie of the conference committee
reported that his committee had conferred
with similar committees from populists and
silver republicans ) and had reached a unani
mous agreement whereby the populists were
to have the councllmen from the Fourth and
Sixth wards nnd one-third ot the nppolnt-
Ivo offices , the silver republicans the tax
commissioner nnd councilman from the Fifth
ward and the democrats all the rest. The
report was adopted on motion of Plattl.
Frank Uansom presented n suggestion of
the name of G. M. Hitchcock for mayor by
the sliver republicans , which received no
action , nnd also a suggestion for adjourn
ment until 2 p. m. Monday.
Delegatea were authorized to cast the
full vote of the respective wards , and nomi
nations for mayor began. Plattl nominated
Frank J. Ilurlclcy ns the nlmost unanimous
ohoico of the fusion forces , saying that
fifty-four of the delegates were practically
pledged for him.
Ed P. Smith placed In nomination W. S.
Poppleton , urging that the success ot the
party was moreimportnnt than that of any
club. He denounced James W. Carr for al
leged utterances of his In relation to Burk-
ley as quoted in the afternoon papers , and
said that such an utterance stamped Its
maker ns unworthy to affiliate with the
democratic party. Carr stood direatly In
front of him as he spoke.
Walter Brandos nominated E. S. Strecter.
.At tfcrf * moment John O. Yelser threw a.
bomb Into the convention by reporting from
the populist convention that it had failed to
endorse the action of Its conference commit
tee and had insisted on 'Stuht's' nomination
In the First ward and a declaration In favor
of cheaper telephone service.
I'opiileton \oinliiatcil. .
There were numerous seconds to the
nominations for mayor , and before taking a
vote on Dr. Hippie's motion that a commit
tee wait on Burkley wns opposed by the
County Democracy and defeated by an
amendment to proceed to roll call on the
nominations. In this vote It wan noted that
the Fifth ward voted with the County
Democracy. The amendment carried by 45
to 36.
The roll call on mayor was stormy with
eloquence , as most of the bitter partisans In
sisted on explaining their votes. On the
ballot the First ward divided Its vote , giving
Hurkley 2 , Poppleton 2 and Strecler 5.
Streoter also got one vote in the Ninth , the
other wards voting their factional prefer
ences straight. The vote stood 38 for Burk
ley , 37 for Popplelcm and 6 for Streeter.
The Burkley men demanded a poll of the
Jacksonlan wards and some of them were
polled , but when It came to the Fifth Joe
Sherry declared that there was no objection
from the delegation nnd the delegates would
never answer to their names. Ed Smith also
protested .and declared :
"You may demand the poll from now until
h 1 freezes over and you will never get It , "
While this controversy was raging Walter
Brandcs announced that the First ward
would change Us entire vote to Poppleton
nnd Dr. Hippie changed the ono vote In the
Ninth from Streeter lo Poppleton. This
gave the latter 45 to Burkley's 36 and he was
declared the nominee.
Plattl , Gunsaulua and Fanning all seconded
ended .the motion lo make Ihc nomination
unanimous and It was carried. A committee
was appointed to bring Popplcton to the
hall.

John D. Ware , Joseph Sherry and John E.

battle cry for the campaign.

Ernest Mortens and Harry P. Deuel wore
nominated for treasurer , the former repre
senting the County Democracy. Mcrtcns was
made the choice by a vote of 59 to 22.
A committee reported the nomination by
diver republicans of William Fleming for
tax commlEsloncr nnd C. O. Lobeck for
councilman for the Fifth ward and they were
unanimously endorsed.
Hurry P. Dcucl waa unanimously nomi
nated for comptroller and his efforts to
decline were Ignored.
Mark Goad and Thomas J. Flynn were
named for clerk nnd the former WBB chosen
by a vote of15 to 20 , which wan not a fac
tional vote.
A committee from the populists mihmlttod
a declaration that they would never nomi
nate Popplcton for mayor unless the dumo-
cratH conceded Stuht'a nomination nnd in
corporated the telephone plank In their plat
form. The communication was filed. The
committee albo reported the nomination of

The noisiest , 1f not the most Important ,
convention In the city yesterday was that of
the people's Independent party , which met
In the Peter Cooper -club rooms. The con
vention organized by the election of Elmer
E. Thomas as chairman and B. F. Morcarty
as secretary. A committee , of one member
from each ward , wan appointed to confer
with the democratic and free silver repub
lican conventions regarding a division of
offices. This committee included John 0.
Yelser , chairman , J. W. Barnett , B. I. Mor
row , Lou V. Guye , Dr. Peabody , Joseph Red
man , B. F. Rutherford , Hanilln Barnes and
George A. Maguey.
M. J. Q'Connell and A. W. TIdd were ap
pointed to Inform the democrats that the
populists were ready for business nnd J. 11.
Cchen and David. Robblns were Instructed to
perform a like service to the free silver re
publicans. A committee was appointed to
prepare resolutions nnd to submit them to
the other two parties to the fusion In order
that all parties might have one olatform and
to report their work to the convention as
soon an the Intentions of the other parties
could bo ascertained. This committee con
sisted of Herman Colin , Lauren Qulnby , B ,
Stoddard , Alfred Faulkner and F. K. Me
Guckln. When thcso committees had retired
the convention proceeded to the selection of
officers of the city central committee.
"Teddy" Morrow was chosen chairman by
acclamationL.V. Gnye , secretary , and August
Kline , who wan defeated for the latter office ,
was made treasurer. The convention then
adjourned to await the report of the con
ference committee.
About 4:30 : an emissary from the free sil
ver republicans announced that that con
vention had adopted a resolution calling
upon the democrats to nominate G. M.
Hitchcock for mayor , and that If the democrats , -
ocrats did not attend to business that they
would nominate a ticket and let the dem
ocrats cndoisc Ittif they desired. The re
port was receiver ! In. Hllence ,
Ii was C o'clock when some of the mem-
bcin of the conference committee returned
and the convention was called to order. The
chairman of the committee had not put In
nu appearance and , after waiting for so mo
time , Mr. Maguey was called upon to report
the result of the conference.
IHvlNlon of IMnmlcr.
Mr. Maguey wild that the only discordant
element ) n the conference was Ernest Stuht ;
that the democrats were willing to concedn
to the populists the offices of couucllmcn In
the Sixth and Fourth wards and onc-thlra
of the appointive offices , nnd to the free sil
ver republicans the office of tax commie *
sioncr and the councilman In the Fifth ward ;
that the popullstx had demanded the conn ,
cllman In the First ward In addition to
the otlicitj , but that the democrats would
not listen to It and that the contest had
grown iso warm that Allie McCann. the
democratic nominee In the First ward , had
offered to withdraw If Ernest Stuht would ,
and let the nomination go to John Drexel ,
nnd that with this understanding the con
vention had unanimously adopted the re.
porl submitted.
Joseph Iledman opposed thu report and
characterized the majority of the commit
tee as ofllcescckers who would sell the party
rait to the democrats. Maguey and others
defended the report , which was attacked by
Morearlty , Dcavcr and others. Then came
the sensation of the day.

He said : "Gentlemen , I could have xe-
cured the endorsement of the democrat * .
When I went up to the democratic conven
tion this afternoon I was approached by
lAllle .McCann. who nild that Walter Bran-
dw wanted to see mo In a hurry. I saw
Urandes and be told me that If I would

short time , nil of my nctlonw In the council
show that I hnvo brcn a popull.it for three
years , and I am wllllnn to run for office on
my record. "
The report of the committee on resolu
tions waa to the effect that It had made
connection with the free silver republicans
nnd had practically nrccd on n platform ,
bill that the democrats had Ignored them
and the members submitted the following
resolutions , which were adopted :
"We , the people's Independent parly of
Oniahn In convention assembled demand :
"First The Immediate purchase by the
city of the water works at a fair valuation ,
not to exceed $3,000,000 , nnd It thcycannot
bo obtained that the city shall then proceed
to build new worka or acquire said works
under Its right of eminent domain.
"Second Wo favor the acquisition by the
city of all municipal monopolies as rapidly
as possible and until such can be obtained
\\o demand n moro reasonable adjustment
of rates by these corporations now owning
these public utilities ; especially we demand
thnt telephone rates be reduced to the price
of $3 for business houses and $2 for resi
dences ,
"Third We promise to do nil In our power
to secure for the people of Omaha the Ini
tiative and referendum nnd imperative mandate
dateas the only means of securing to the
people pure self-government.
"Fourth Wo believe n more equitable
system of taxation should bo Inaugurated ,
Becking to remove the burden nf taxation
from the tolling masses that the burden
should more largely rest upon those who
rceelvo the largest benefits from the munici
pality.
"Fifth We believe that honest conduct ot
all public offices ! s essential to the city's

hazards. A resolution was adopted to stand

Numerous Investigating committees were
sent out to ascertain the progress of the
other conventions and during their absence
business was suspended and the dignity of
the convention was superseded by the levity
of sociability , to which Ernest Stuht con
tributed largely.

The nominations of the democrats and
populists for city offices were endorsed , with
the exception of the democratic nomination
of Drexel and the populist nomination of
