Tho populist county convention met at
Washington hall simultaneously with that
of the democrats, but In u separate room,
and organized by tho election of 12. I. Mor
row as chairman and John W. Harnett
secretary. When this preliminary had been
finished the following resolution was In
troduced by Elmer K. Thomas and adopted
by a unanimous rising vote:
Tho president Is dead! With hearts
bowed down with grief, we assemble In
county convention to perform our duty as
citizens of the repub.lo, In this solemn
hour all men nro brothers. On till melan
choly occasion nil men everywhere grieve
because of tho loss of our chief magistrate.
William McKlnley gnvo mnny nml dl.
tlnguluhcd services to his country; llv d
beforo the people an example of the ChrH
tlan statesman, and died saying, "God's
will, not ourn, be done." Humbly we offer
this rcsoldtlou lis a trlbuto of our respect
for the memory of William .McKlnley, Into
president of the United States. We mourn
his death. We mourn the nation's deep
bereavement and we extend our (.ympnthy
to his faithful wife, much beloved of uh
nil, In tho "long wny that shu must tread
alone."
As there were no contests credentials
wero directed to be given to tho secretary,
who accspted them without question. Out
of tho clghty-ono delegates to which Omnha
wa3 entitled beventy from tho country and
twenty from South Omaha, n total of 171.
about thirty were present and tho romalndor
represented by proxies.
J. O. Jones, John O. Yclser. Elmer E.
Thomas, Gus Williams, II. Cohen, J. J.
Points nnd L. J. Qulnby were named as a
platform committee and presented n volu
minous report, which was adopted.
Tho platform declares that the parole of
Joseph Hartley was arranged by republican
leaders and ventures the prediction that
"Hartley will be unconditionally pardoned
during tho month of November. 1901." It
goes on to say: "Wo have no sympathy
with tho utterances of reform pnpors which
havo sanctioned Hartley's pardon." At this
point In tho reading of tho platform oc
curred tho only vigorous applause with
which tho document was greeted.
"Wo afllrm the declaration of tho lato re
publican stato convention, 'penned by E.
Roscwnter,' " says the platform, "calling
upon stato and county treasurers for state
ments of the whereabouts of the public
funds. Wo indorse tho action of the demo
cratic treasurer of Douglas county In mak
ing such a statement and are anxiously
awaiting the tlmo when State Treasurer
Stuefer will take the people Into his confi
dence and let them know where the state's
money Is deposited. Wo bellovo that Blank
was 'penned by E. Rosowater' for political
effect."
Tho representation In tho stato conven
tion was apportioned as follows: Omaha,
"2; South Omaha, 20; country precincts, 30:
a total of 128.
County Centrnl Committer.
Tho county ccntrul committee was or
ganized by tho election of E. I. Morrow as
chairman nnd P. Krewlz secretary. Throe
committeemen wero selected from each
Omaha ward and one each from tho South
Omaha wards and tho country precincts.
A committee composed of John O. Yclser,
Dr. J. II. Peabody and J. II. Taylor was
named to notify tho democratic convention
that tho populist convention was organized
and ready to hear any communication they
might dcslro to mako. They were also
Instructed to act as a conference commit
tee. After a wait that seomed Interminable
tho committeo returned nnd reported
through Dr. Peabody that Its mission had
been performed. Other members of tho
committeo Informed tho convention that
they had been received by hisses from tho
democrnts and that there was every Indica
tion that tho democrats did not caro
whether or not they fused with tho popu
lists. Tho dolgatcs wero angry because of tho
long delay and wero In no hurry to brook
Indifference, much less Insult, from tho
democrats. With ono accord they resolved
that tho democratic candidates would not
bo endorsed until the democratic convention
had recognized them In nn accoptablo man
ner. Dei-line to Stand for Miller.
After much lurid oratory, In tho courao
of which tho Douglas County Democracy
was roasted to a turn, It was decided to
nominate a full ticket. About this tlmo tho
news camo that tho democrats had put up
Harry Miller for county clerk, nnd tho Irato
pops opened the floodgates of their wrath
upon him. whnm they characterized as a
bitter ond open enemy of fusion. Flnnlly
a motion prevailed to placo candidates In
nomination for county clerk nnd two Justices
of tho peace. Francis W. Marsh was named
for the former placo and J. D. Jones and
J, W. Logan for tho latter.
When tho convention had completed Its
work nnd waa on tho polut of adjourning,
without having heard from the democrats
officially, Colonel Walter Molso rushed Into
tho hall and without watting for recognition
Informed tho populists that "you people
aro' doing wrong; you're mlstoV.kcn; you're
too hasty; you don't know what you are
doing. Just wait n minute while I tell
you nil nbout It nnd get things smoothed
up." Tho cotonel's sudden appearance and
his language stirred tho wrath of the pops
to even greater fdopths than had the pro
ceding events nud created a scene of wild
disorder.

above all could be heard tho deep voice of
Colonel Molse telling the pops Just what

Molso was permitted to speak with the
understanding that he represented himself
only and not the democratic convention.
The doughty colonel summoned tho pow
ers of his oily tongue and smooth volco
and endeavored to quiet the refractory ones
and restore harmony. Ho swore n great

At this time, when the democrats had
mado all their nominations except that for
commissioner of thp South Omaha district,
a committeo bearing tho olive branch of
peace was unnouuecd. A wordv war fol
lowed n statement by Dr. Hippie, tho
spokesman, who attempted to pour soap
suds upon tho troubled wafers. The pop
felt that they had been Insulted, kicked
nnd sat upon, as they expressed It, and
wanted no democratic salve.
After several Ineffectual attempts had
been made to adjourn the pop convention
while tho democratic committeo was pres
ent It wai decided to refer the differences
to tho conferenco committees for adjust
ment. The committees agreed upon a com
promise, which wns accepted by (he pop
ulist convention, The county cintral com
mitteo wns authorized to fill nil vncnnclos
on the ticket nnd empowered to transnct
any business that might bo legally done by
tho convention.
It Is tho understanding among the pop.
ullsts that If tho democrats do not carry
.out tho terms of tho compromise and ac
cord them either tho clerkship or tho
Judgeship, preferably tho former, together
with tho two candidates for Justice of tho
pence already nominated by them and one
third of the nppolntlvo offices, their central
committeo will refuse to Indorss tho demo

will put n separato tlckot Into tho Held.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 12. (Special.)
Our official train left unlou station, Omaha,
Saturday, September 7, over tho Northwest
cm, arriving In Cleveland Sunday nt 10
p. m. over the Lnko Shore. We had a
pleasant and profitable Journey and, though
weary, were repaid for nil discomforts by
tho royal welcome wo received here. Wo
wero met nt tho union station
by a largo delegation from the
reception committeo and taken to
our headquarters, where. nre also
tho national and soveral other states' head
quarters. Monday wo took In tho sights
and Monday evening tho grand electrical
display In Public square, which surely Is
grand beyond nny description of mine.
Tuesday wo witnessed tho grand naval
parado and that of the cx-prlsoncrs of
war. Tuesday night a grand campffro
was held in tho Central armory, where
10,000 people were assembled, nnd listened
to Hon. Tom Johnson, mayor of Clcvolund,
who gave to tho Orand Army of tho no
public and Woman's Relief corps tho keys
to tho Forest city. He was followed by
Governor nilss of Michigan and Hon.
John C. Illack of Illinois. Many lino
stcrcoptlcon views wero given of the drum
mer boy or "tow-headed boy of Anderson
vlllo," now General Stewart of Cleveland.
Wednesday of course was tho great day.
Tho grand parado of veterans of tho civil
wnr, numbering 350,000, marched by tho
grandhtand, eight abreast, for four solid
hours. They wero reviewed by Senator
Mark Hanna, assisted In tho grandstand
by Commandcr-ln-Chlcf Loon Rasslcur,
Gnneral Sickles, General Stewart, Colonel
Qoorgo of Nebraska and others. We counted
150 bands and drum corps and 275 differ
ent posts, with ono from far-away Alaska,
Of course Ohio took tho lend, as far as
numbers were concerned, tt taking ono hour
nnd n half for that state's delegation to
pnss tho grandstand.
Major Wilcox of Omaha carried tho ban
ner for his delegation.
Pennsylvania led the way with tho Lamb
brigade, oven to the three white lnmhs that
were decorated nnd led by llttlo girls In
white. South Dakota displayed hugo cars
of corn, North Dakota sheaves of wheat,
Ohio buckeyes. Chicago showed tho
goose hanging high. New York tho largest
number of tattered war flags, Texas a
wealth of cotton bales.
The sight that most cheered the veter
ans in their long march and brought tears
to the eyes of many was "tho living
human flag," represented by 4,000 school
children, dressed In red, whlto and blue
and seated on 100 stops, ono raised above
the other, nnd led by Prof. Stewart, mu
sical director of tho city schools. As each
delegation passed by this Immense throng
they greeted them cither with patriotic
songs or tremendous cheers. It was a
grand sight.
Wednesday evening nnother grant public
reception nnd campffro were given to tho
Woman's Relief corps nnd tho Daughters
of Veterans. Thero wero speeches by Gov
ernor Nash of Ohio, "tho bugler boy of
Tennessee," Commandcr-ln-Chlef Rasslcur
ond others.
Thursday opened tho two great conven
tions, tho Woman's Relief corps In tho First
Methodist Episcopal church, with over 600
delegates nnd over 800 visiting members;
the Grand Army of the Republic, with
twlco this number, met In thd Grand opera
house on Euclid avenue. Thursday after
noon a great thanksgiving service was held
In the armory over the posstblo recovory

a prayer by Rev. Alfred Andrews and a
scripture lesson by McKlnley's old pastor
of Canton, O. Governor Nash then made
a lino speech.
In behalf of Nebraska's delegation, as
well as all delegations, 1 can say wo hnvo

loyal and most hospitable peoplo of this
city. Hoping tho Ak-Sar-Renfcstlvltlcs, In

Although there was only one stubbornly
contested nomination the democratic countv
convention nt Wnshltigtnn hall yesterday
afternoon was extremely noisy and somi-
what disorderly. Tho chairman wora a
goodly-sized club almost down to a tooth
pick In pounding for order during tho after
noon.
I'luht for Coiiiiiilftnlniir-rnlilp.
Tho big fight of tho convention was for
tho nomination for county commissioner in
tho Fourth district, but other wnrllko spots
wero put upon tho record of the proceed
ings. Frequently seven or eight delegates
attempted to address tho convention at the
same tlmo nnd It wns with difficulty that
tho chairman straightened out the resulting
parliamentary tangles.
There was no thought of tho populists,
who wero In county convention on the floor
below, until a committee from tho third
party, hended by Dr. J. H. I'cabody. stole
silently Into tho democratic powwow and
begged for n hearing. After tho populist
committee had expressed Its readiness lo
"do business" the democrats appointed n
committee, consisting of Dr. A. H. Hippie,
iohn Llddcll nnd E. P. nerryman. to con
fer with the men below. Then thero was no
further thought of the populists nnd fusion
until tho Hlpplo committee reported, which
happened to bo after a straight democratic
ticket had been almost completed and it was
too lato for tho convention to give the pops
nny placo on their ticket.
l'oim nine In n Illot.
This seeming lack of attention caused the
temperature to rlso about tho collar buttons
of tho populists nnd they proceeded to Issue
nn ultimatum, which now rests with tbo
democratic county committee for considera
tion and reply. Tho ultimatum is that tho
democrats must tako down their candldato
for cither county clerk or county Judge ond
two of their candidates for Justice of tho
peace and glvo three places on their ticket
to tho populists; otherwise the populists
will go to tho polls with the candidate thev
havo already named for county clerk nnd
the two candidates they have nominated
for Justlco of the peace. This is practically
a demand for thrco places on the demo
cratic ticket which have already been
filled with thrco democrats, who aro likely
to display adhesive qualities.
As soon as Chairman Ed Howell called
tho convention to order C. J. Smyth se
cured tho floor nnd said:
"It may bo well before proceeding to tho
business of this convention to pause for a
moment to note that wo assemble under n
great pall of grief. The president of tho
republic has Just expired nnd the whole na
tion Is with bowed head In mourning. In
the presence of such a calamity wo forgot
our partisanship and remember only our
patriotism."
Mr. Smyth then proceeded to pay high
trlbuto to tho dead president as a patriotic
citizen and a Christian gentleman, and
concluded his remarks by Introducing tho
following resolution:
Resolved. Thnt wo, the representatives
of tho democrats of Douglas county, ex
press profound sorrow at tho death of our
president, William McKlnley. With bowed
headH we stand. In spirit, with nil our
fellow citizens nt his bier, nnd deeply mourn
the sad ending of his distinguished earner.
The dastardly deed of an assassin has
robbed us of n president, und n loving wife
of n devoted husband. We record our ad
miration of tho beautiful homo life of the
two wno nave ueen cruelly parted, never
to meet again In this life, and In this
moment of her awful crlef our hearts i?n
out In tender sympathy to Mrs. McKlnley,
whoso heart Is breaking tinder Its loud of
woe. nn,d from the depths of our souls wo
pray tho Almighty Ono that Ho mny lighten
her terrible burden.
Ed P. Smith, C. S. Montgomery, John E.
Reagan, S. P. Wilson, Jolin Ltddcll, I. J.
Dunn nnrt Thomas Fleharty spoko briefly
and eloquently of tho sterling qualities of
resident McKlnley and of the despicable
methods of anarchy, and then tho resolu
tion was adopted by a rising vote.
.Sin) th for Cliiilrmiin,
Chairman Howell suscestcd C. J. Smvth
for temporary chairman, nnd tho selection
wbb made unanimously. Henry Oest wns
similarly chosen for secretary, and Hnrrv
C. Hnwtry for assistant secretary.
In taking tho chair. Mr. Smvth remarked
that for obvious reasons It would be out nf
place to mako n partisan sneech. and hn
thcrefc.ro called for the pleasure of tho
convention nt once. John J. Mahoney moved
that n committeo of flvo on credential.! be
appointed, but W. H. Weeks offered as a
substitute a motion that tho convention
Itself hoar and decide the single contest on
credentials. Tho substitute prevailed by a
vote of 127 to 59,

John Zeller of the First ward nominated
John Power for sherllT und a motion to
mako tho nomination by acclamation pre
vailed with a howl. Tho sheriff appoared
on tho platform nnd thanked tho delegates
for his renomlnatlon.
At this Juncture of the proceedings, Chair
man Smyth announced that a committee
from the populist convention was asking
for a hearing, whereat there wero hisses
loud nnd prolonged. Smyth wore a quarter
of an Inch eft his club by pounding a table
In a vain endeavor to drown the filming
sound. When order was partially restore!
Dr. Peabody of tho populist committee
stated that his party was In convention In
the hall below and ready "to coalesce"
with tho democrats. "Wo are not demand
ing any places on your ticket," continued
tbo doctor, "but of course, If you see tit
to confer with us nnd give us a place or two
we would be pleased."
Tho convention Ignored Dr. Peobody's
gentlo hint nnd proceeded with the nomlnn
Hon of a straight democratic ticket.
Ed P. Smith nominated Harry C. Miller
for county clerk nnd J. J. Mahoney moved
tho nomination be made by acclamation.
Harry O'Neill, who Is tnld to cherlst a per
sonal grievance agnlnst Miller, demanded a
roll call. Tom McGovcrn of tho Fourth
ward remarked that It was no time or plncc
for tho ventilation of personal grievances.
The roll wns called nnd Miller wns nomi
nated by a voto of 1774 to 154.

enthusiastically carried.

Only one bnllnt was required, Mr. Gross,
man tnklug the nomination with 127V4 votes
to 644 for Oilier.
James A. Taggart was nominated for
coroner and was about to slide through
when Dr. Hippie surprised the convention
by naming Dr. C. F. Croley. P. C. Heafcy,
with an cyo to business, gavo Croley quite
a boost by declaring that Tnggart was a
republican. A ballot was taken and Croley
was nominated by a voto of 126 to CCS.
Thomas Shaw ond M. J. Lacy of Omnha
nnd E. M. Rohrbnugh of South Omaha were
put up for surveyor nnd the South Omaha

Whllo the balloting for county commis
sioner was under way Dr. Hlpplo reminded
the convention that It had paid no heed to
tho invitation to confer with tho populists.
Then, nftcr tho straight democratic tlckot
had been almost completed, tho convention
qppolnted n conferenco committee. Thl3
committee soon reported that tho pops had
becomo enraged by tho delay of the demo
crats In conferring with them and had al

clerk nnd two candldntcs for Justlco of
