Three excursion tr&lnle&ds of eutbueiastt
with irttSEled votcef nnd eouutleas physical
dtstemiHirs have returned from the Kansas
City conventions and were bury yenterday
telling tbelr frlendt Jum bow It happened
and what influence! they individually ex
erted to have It so happen The consensus
of their individual Intricate and varied re
jmrts is that each one of thotn played a part
of vital tmortanee in shaping the action of
the convention nnd every one of them im
agines that he bore a part that will com
mend hi tn to his progeny lor generations
as a mun of genius and inQuulire. Every
one brought heme a score or more souvenirs
to be added to tbe family nrchitef and
treasures, among which however, will not
be treasured the souvenir bodily ailments
that are susceptible of cure by tbe liberal
use of physics and mineral waters.
The County Democracy excursion party
was the first to tear Itself away Irom the
turmoil ol the oenveution. It started back
at i 30 p. m. Friday, some hour boforc the
vice presidential nomination was made,
reaching home about midnight Tbe tram
bore homeward at that time only a bare ma
jority of tbe excursionists who had gone
down with It On the down trip it reached
Kansas City with stx coaches, but It brought
buck but lour, many ol the leaders remain
ing to see the finish.
The Jucksonian train reached Omaha about
f. o'clock yesterday, bringing seven of the
ten conches it took down with it. The
party left Kansut City at 8 p m., nfte 'bf
nomination had been complete It rame
via Lincoln, but did not. as 'had been ex
pected, r.top to see Mr Bryan as It passe 1
through Lincoln at a very early hou'
The silver republican excursion, or nbou:
12f members of it. reached home at 1 4f.
a m.. having left Kansas City a little hi
fore midnight Friduy. With this party
were many democrats, populist and norar
republicans who had gone down to witness
the feuui of democracy.
NelirasLoui. Much in evidence.
Nebraska's contingent wu promttfently in
evidence everywhere In and out ol the con
vention There were probably i.000 of them
in nttendanrr and tn spit? of tbe fact that
each delegate was allowed but lour ticke'.F
for his friends under the rules the prewure
upon the Nebraska delegation was eo strjug
that every Btrategy wa rmorted to in ' e
rurtnc admission lor Nebraskan Thett
was a cordon nf p:licemen stationed around
the building nnd the diflicultv war experi
enced in pushing this of&cia! deadline Tom
Worrall of Lincoln and Tred Coagrove of
Omaha were Nebraska's representative in
the force of doorkeepers and any Nebraskan
who could get past tbe police found no ob
structions placod in hit way when he
reached either of tht doore guarded by thest
two men
The ingenuity of the gang was taxed In
passing the police, but it was effective in se
curing the admission ol the entlrt Nebraska
crowd at nearly cory session. Three or
lour Nebraskans would po in together and
when they wore once Inside one would go out
with the tickets ol the entire party. He
would use these tickets In getting another
block ol live or Btx past the police and
Werrnll or Cosgrove would pubs them Into
the hall. In this way one active man
could get Irom 100 to 100 into tbe convf ntioa
Once inside, some of them were fortunate
enough to find seats, while others stood up
In the uisles. It Is remarkable that with
the limitations placed upon the issue of
tickets so many gained admission, but great
consideration was shown Nubrnsl.nns by
most of the gatekeepers In the pursuance
of this method of figuratively creeping under
the canvas, however, some of the prominent
members of the Nebraska crowd encountered
some ombarrasstng and threatening experi
ences with the police
In tbe many demonstrations that marked
the convention the County Democra-.y alwny.
took a part, following the processions ol the
guidons about through tbe crowded floor
with Its banner waving tilnft and its plug
huts winning attention. Tbe big Jucksonian
ol) painting ol Bryan was in readiness with
decorations In the national colors nnd was
sprung as a part of the mechunica) demon
stration that followed the nomination by
Oldham In Fplte of its greut size it was
borne uround the hall In the noisy purade
that followed the nominating speech M C
Harrington ol North Platte took the picture
to Kansas Ctty with him and arranged lor
Its timely appearance tn the hall.
Hnrriiicton'k I'rimiliient Part.
Mr. Harrington was nlBO one of the chief
Instigators of the plan to have Bryan's nomi
nation seconded by Senator Hill. The plan
was originated by Messrs Oldham, Harring
ton and Tibbets, in consultation with Mc
Lean of thi New York delegation
Hardly had the plan been started to
ward execution before Croker heard of It
and at once Indicated his disapproval He
Insisted that Hill should rn: second Bryan's
nomination, unlew a like privilege oi
granted to Senator Grady, representing tb
Croker crowd. There wns a pclev of
Brynnltes held at ouue. ut which McLean
represented Hill. Oldham, W H. Thompsoi
Charles W. Brynn. T. S Allen. Judge Tib
bets and other close representatives of
Bryan met McLean. It was not desired te
affront Croker by giving Hill undue prom
inence and Croker Insisted that Grat!
should npeak lor New York This bitter
ness was probably a relic uf the row over
tbe New York membership of the vefo'utions
oommltioe The Nebraskans at on; went
to work to secure for Hill the pr:v.lrf of
cpeaking upon the time allotteu some tuber
state Alabama refused to yield '0 li:.: :n -cause
that state hnd a repreeentttm whe
desired to be heard having nlreafl'- yielded
for Bryau s nomination Others down the
line of the call of states refused for vari
ous roasous until Connecticut was reached
That state yielded Harrington Bat beside
Hill until Connecticut was culled nnd es
corted bim to the platform, where Ins ap
penrancc was something ol a surjuise to me
New York delegation
Those who knew ol this controversy wore
therefore somewhat surprised when Senator
Grad. later in the convention, placed Hill
In nomination for tbe vice presidency nnd
Insisted upon giving htm the support ol
New York solid In spite of his protest
AsMtclutlou of OMeopnf life.
