that were cast against lilm.
On the second day of last May, when you
nominated me for your stanilarillicarer, I
told you that there would be biiilded a re
publican ureli that should reach from ocean
to ocean, founded upon Lincoln nnd liberty,
Mc Kin Icy and prosjierlly; and that deeply
engraved In tho Keystone of that aron
would be Nebraska redeemed In the year of

gratulale yo.i on I lis ay s nroeecil ngs. It
has been a lung and weary struggle; the
clouds have hong dark around us. It
seemed to me as though we were In a mid

lightning, affording a sudden gleam of
light, a ray of hope; then the clouds
closed in around us deeper and darker,
denser than before. Hut the clouds have
lifted and tho sunshine of success is again
upon us. " t.
I congrat ilate yon today tliul wo lire:
enabled to elect two republican' Culled'
States senators. When 1 dime hero three
months ugo It was suggested that a man
living in the sand hills of our slate, In a
back county, ought not to expect to be a
candidate for I'nlted Stales senator. My
reply to that was this, that the ambition of
representing Hie statu of Nebraska in the
I'nlted States sennte had no constitutional
or statutory bars, apd-1 declined my right
us up American cltr.un,"aiidati a citizen of.
our glorious state, to be a caudldato.
I further stated, ladles allfl gedtleinCn,
that before the close of this canvass the
people of tho state' of Nebraska, would
know that the sand hills were on tho map.
Ladles and gtaelemeii, we have demon
strated that to you, and I call your atten
tion to the fact that a cowpitucher of the
sand hills Is now governor ot your state.

that such was not the case in spile of tho

The nelloii of the senate yesterday III

In my Judgment is a grave mistake 'tins

your vote of vesterda lie reconsidered und
that the department remain. as It ts nt

Snliirli'M i'o I iniMldereit,
The greater part of the afternoon was
devoted to tho consideration of the sal
aries bill by the sennto sitting as a com
mittee of the whole, with Hansom of Doug
Ins In the chair.
Tor two hours nnd tt half the salaries
of various state employes were discussed
and numerous changes recommended. The
amendment providing an appropriation for
tho protection ot fish and game was knockid
out, but later a compromise was effected
by allowing for two deputies and the neces
sary wardens.
After the committee had arisen It non
concurred In the notion of tho committee
In striking out the nppropriatlou for the
ortko of labor commissioner, except that
tho position of clerk In this olllco was
abolished.
The senate, at 5:30, proceeded to the
house for the purpose ol receiving Senator
elect milliard, who came down Irom Omaha
this nlternoou.
Somite' i:enliiti .Srltui.
The senate convened at S o'clock after a
recess of two hours, going Into committee
of tho whole to consider the claims bill.
ICdgar moved to Insert in the bill an Item
of $15,871 due the Oxnard lleet Sugar com
pany and J31.1!'."' tine the Norfolk company
for sugar bounties due from the state. Tho
question was thoroughly discussed, nearly
every member speaking for or against tho
amendment. The claim was made that the
debt was an honest one and should be paid,
while opponents of tho measure contorded
tho claim should have been presented to
the cIuIiiih committee.
Owens wanted an appropriation made to
pay the bounty deficiency on scalps of wild
animals. The amendment received support
from membeis of the western halt ot tho
state. Both amendments were defeated.
The claims of Dr. Towno of Omaha for
$l,20u for services rendered In visiting
smallpox casos throughout the btnio was
iltrlckcn out altogctlnr.
At 10 o'clock tho republican members,
tired nnd sleepy from an attendance at last

J. II. Millard cxelalumd yesterday us ho
gtnsped tho hand of Milton T. llnrlow, who
headed the advance guard of enthusiasts
who crowded Into the Omaha National bank
to shako the hand of Nebraska's new semi
tor. Congratulations poured hi upon Mr. Mil
Inrd from nil parts of the United States. A
steady stream ot messenger boy-i wound
their way through the crowds that were
bearing personal messages to the new
senator. The private telephone, in Mr. Mil
lard's olllce was ringing umstnnty. Oe
caMonally the man upon whom the sena
torial mantel fell so unexpectedly deserted
the crowds who stood In waiting und re
eolved messages from friends who could
not pay lilm a purounnl visit.
Mr. Mil III id In llaii.
Thero was no a'tempt on the part of Mr,
Millard to conceal Ills Joy nt being hon
ored with tho scuatori.hlo. He wns happy
nnd took delight In tho well-wishes of his
visitors. Ills face beumed ns he tore open
congratulatory messages. He was as happy
its a boy on July .
The itowiIr did not bore Mr. Miltatd. lie
welcomed them eagerly and had something
to say to every man who saw lit to stop
Into his prhate otllce. Scores of peoplo
enme Into the bank nnd left after catching
a glimpse of tho new senator
I'hotographers and newspaper men waited
in Mr. MIllaidH olllce for on opportunity to
get a few minutes in private with him.
Finally the telephone was disconnected and
tho new senator allowed the artists to
photograph lilm and outlined his biography
brlelly to tho teporters.
"My pictures arc moro In demand than
those of Lily Lniigtry," Mr. Mtllnnl ex
claimed, laughingly, nu ho picked up tt pile
of telegrams from eastern pupers which
want his pictures.
He I (i really Siirprieil,
"It was tho biggest surprise of my life
and tho most agreeable," said Mr. Millard
as an artist twisted him around In hl chair
nnd urged lilm to hold his chin a little
higher. It wns not necessary to repeat the
traditional "look pleasant." for the now
Ffiin tor's face bore an agreeable smile that
would hnve delighted the henrt uf tho most
exacting photographer.
"I was not a candidate for the olllce and
tho fact that I was elected without any
felicitation on my part makes tho honor
seem nil tho greater to me. It Is almost
impossible to realize that the otllce has
come without nnv effort on my part. It
seems too casv," the new hcnator continued.
"Hurry up with your pictures and inter
views, becatiso I have so much correspond
ence to attend to and so many people to see
that I'm afraid I won't get dono In time to
catch an nfternoon train for Lincoln."
WHO THE SENATORS ARE
lllouriiiihlcitl Dutn llelntlvc to the
-Veiv ll'irraiitntlvrn uf
elirnnlia.
'Joseph H. 'Millard was born In Hamilton,
Canndui'ln April of 1S3C. Ills parents wero1
natives of tho United States, but wero' re
siding In Canada nt tho time of their son's
birth. When the boy was still a youngster
his family removed to Iowa nnd settled on
a farm In Jnckson county near tho town of
Sabuln.
When Joseph Millard was 18 years old ho
left tho farm and went to Dubuque, la.,
where ho was employed as clerk In a store
for two years. Then he camo to Omaha
nnd has lived here ever since.
Mr. Millard engaged In the land business
when ho first came to Nebraska. He was
in the employ of eastern capitalists who
wero buying land In Nebraska and making
loans to settlers. He afterward engaged
In tho banking business. In July of 1800 he
was elected a member of tho board of di
rectors of tho Omaha National bank. Jan
uary 1, 1SC7. ho tiecamo president and cash
ier of that Institution. Ho still retains tho
olllco of president of the bank.
Mr. Millard's family consists of two chil
dren, Miss Jcsslo H. nnd Wllhird 11. His
son Is married nnd resides in Omaha. Tho
now senator's wlfo died several months ago
and his daughter has charge of his homo at
Twenty-fourth and Harney streets,
Mr. Millard served ono term as mayor of
Omaha and wus for six years ono of tho
government directors of the Union Pacific
railroad. Ho has held no other public olllce.
Ho was a director of tho Union Pacific rail
road for seven years, but 13 not connected
with tho company at present.
Mr Millard Is of medium height and
rather Inclines to portliness. His hair la
white nnd thin enough to Indlcato the. ago
that tradition requires of senators. lie
wears short gray whiskers. His eyes are
black and dark eyelashes and eyebrows
nro In striking contrast to his silvery heard.
A stranger glancing at Mr. Millard would
guess that ho Is a bishop or a chief Justice
rather than a banker.
Ciii'Vcn 1 1 1 k linn I'ortiine.
Charles Henry Dietrich, United States
senator-elect, who last fall was elected
governor of Nebraska, Is essentially a self
made mnn. Of (Jerman parentage, he has
the sturdy traits of character peculiar to
that race, and these, with tho fact that ho
was early thrown upon his own resources,
are largoly accountable for his successes
both in tucrcuntllo pursuits and in affairs nt
state.
In ISIS (lovernor Dietrich's father, having
espoused certain political principles dis
tasteful to tho reigning powers of (lermany,
was compelled to lenvo the fatherland. Ho
camo to America, landing at Quebec. A
short tlmo afterward his wlfo followed lilm
and disembarked ut Now Orleans. Several
months of diligent search on tho part of
both were necessary befoio they could find
each other.
November lit). 1S5:1. Charles Henry Diet
rich was born In Chicago.
At the age ot P he left the parental roof
und from that tlmo forward earned his own
living. Ills first steady Job was nn n farm
In Illinois, whore he worked for throe years.
Then lie went to St. Joseph, Mo., and en
gaged himself as clerk in a hardware store.
Later he served In tho same capacity In a
nmall retail establishment in Chicago and
thero succeeded in saving $120 his first
capital. '
From Chicago he went to (he lumber
camps of ArLmib.it, nnd thero homowln
augmented ills savings by ehopping eypusf
logs. It was while heic. In the early spring
of 1ST.',, that ho was set upon ono dark nlgtit
by highwaymen, robbed of all the money
he had and left beside ihe road for dead.
I'ndatinted in spirit, lie immediately lefi
for tho lllack Hills to recoup his fortunes
In the gold digging. Ho took an active
part in the nllnlrs or this now community,
helping to chop tho lagi that built tho pio
neer store building of Deadwood. helping
to found the town of Hpearllsh and Inciden
tally working, hard with his shovel, pick
and ciadlo lo depurate the gold from the
sand. Fortune smiled upon his elforts und,
when he met and fell In love with Mlii
KlUabclh Ulaker of uroru. his coni-

was enabled to m.ury her nt once. Their
nuptials were solemnized In Mity, 1S73.
Immediately after their wedding Mr. und
Mrs. Dietrich settled In Hastings. Neb..

ELECTING TWO SENATORS
(Continued from First P.igc.l
Into cnucus early nnd settle their differ
ences. To reach a caucus ngrcemen' n
series of conferences were held between
tho principal candidates during the second
week of the legislature, but no concord of
action could be had. One set of c.indldntes
wanted to nominate one senator at a time,
while the others wanted simultaneous nom
ination, nnd tbtio was alto disagreement
ns to the number required to nominate
This forced the balloting to begin In Joint
session with caucus .-rearrangement. In
tho meantime nn organization was formed
of n few of the extreme opponents of Mr.
Thompson, who later en tne to be known as
the so-called "untls" or Insurgents, or so
(.odcrs. who insisted that they would go
Into no caucus In which the name of 1). K
Thompson would be consldeted. glslng as
their reason that they did not regard him
ns a loynl republican entitled to the votes
of ropublicnn legislators. With these con
ditions no caucus seemed practicable be
cause different elements of the icpublirnu
majority had each signed dlflerent caucus
calls. The only call the so-called antls
could be induced to subscribe to was that
which finally resulted In tin- original cau
cus, providing for slxty-sevtu signers to
muke It effective, fifty votes to nominate
und a roll call ballot, a s)iuultanous nomi
nation and the famous fifth article, "only
republicans ot unquestioned loynlty shall
bo eligible to nomination."
Call Came In a Hurry.
On Mondny. February 11. after a month
of fruitless balloting In the open, this cnui us
call was suddenly and quickly signed by the
followers ot nil the candidates and Its meet
ing announced by the speaker for the next
evening. This was tho only caucus ngroe
tnent that watt- ever signed by sixty-seven
republicans, tho number necessary to put
its edicts Into operation. The llrsl night's
caucus was eventful for its sciisntlonnl
walk-out by nine secedcts. who at tho same
tlmo united In a proclamation explaining
their reasons and expressing Implacable op
position to Mr. Thompson's candidacy. Not
withstanding that it was short in its mem
bership, this caucus continued to ballot on
successive nights without concentrating the
requisite fifty votes on any two candidates.
Tho failure of an effort to change tho rules
to reduce tho number necessary to nominate
forced the conclusion that It wus futile to
continue und efforts were immediately re
newed to construct a new caucus on lines
promising better results. Throe or four
conflicting caucus calls wcru presented, but
that known an tho Wilkinson call, provid
ing for forty-live to sign and forty-live to
nominate, tlio first to run out with con
tinued balloting for the second, but neither
to ho binding until both nominations were
effected, was adopted. Tho highest number
that went Into this caucus at any one tlmo
was tlfty-slx, which gave It the name ot
short caucus.
.NoillllllllioilN l'liiall Itcaclicil.
On tho eighth ballot I). U. Thompson re
ceived more than the requisite number of
votes as the short term iSouth Platte can
didate and was declared nominated subject
to tho rules, whllo n new deadlock was
sprung in caucus on tho North Platte can
didate. Mr. Itosewutor received constantly
: majority of thosu in the caucus, but al
though from twenty-five to hevcuty ballots
wore tuken each evening, at his highest he
wus eleven tJiorl ot ti nomination. It wn
this caucus nono the less which finally, yc.v
tciduy morning, on the last day of the ses
sion, a few hours before tho culminating
ballot in joint session, nominated ns the
party's choice Charles II. Dietrich and Jo
seph 11. Millard, after D. K. Thompson,
ltosewiiter, Melklejohn nnd Currle and all
the leading candidates except CrouiiHe, had
subordinated their personal ambitious by
withdrawing from tlio race. The forms
provided In the call wero duly followed
r.nd tho two men agreed on wcro declared
the caucus nominees. As one member re
marked, which was typical for all, "I am
glad It's over; It's tlio best we could do
oral wos necessary for the party prestige,
even though wo had to pass by all tho men
who did tho work to make the legislature
republican, nnd who had rightful claims fur
consideration.''
