Hull of the state committee appeared
on tho stage at 2M0 and called the con

lulnmia, who had been nominated' by the
cbminltfce for temporary secretary, read
the official call and Chairman Hall tlieq
announced tho committee's uomlnttlon or
tho temporary chairman, W. II. Thompson
of Grand Island, nnd It was unanimously
approved by n voto of the convention. Mr.
Thompson was escorted to tho stage by
C. J. Ilowlby of' Saline and Denton Marat
of Dawson, who were appointed for this
duty by Chairman Hall. Ho spoko for
fifteen mlnutcu, beginning with n reference
to the anarchistic deed In Iluffuto. Ills
remarks wero frequently Interrupted by
applause and in brief were as follows:
Wo meet today with feelings ot mingled
Joy nnd sadness. Through this gloom we
i he more closciy ceo how wo ure united us

wero more of us; that llioso who left us In
the last two naminilgns were of us. Why
should they not roturn? 'ohold the ruin
which followed In the wnke of their illt
loyalty to party. Through their usslstnnos
tho Declaration of Independence Is mad'
(i mockery, the Mouroo doctrine crippled, If
not robbed of much of its virtue; a colonial
system fastened upon us. with Its wars itnd
rumors of w'rirs; a menacing standing tirmy,
witn its increased buruens; an inoomo tax
swopt uway uml u prohibitory tariff in Kh
place, fostering trusts und stlfllnj? cdmpe
tltlon. TK.!o uf'o iomo of tho wn'eks tint

nnd all for what? That a gold dollar might
uc sunt to uo uio unit or value instead or
tho historic silver dollar.
I he cm ml old democrat c tiurtv Is w 11 nir
to bo rocognlzeil. If need be, by democrati',
loyal and true, but those Who have been
beating the snare drum In tho rctiubhcjtn
band are not the fellows who'should huudle
tho cornet In tho democratic procession.
May I ask why all thin talk of reorgan
ization? If wo nro to reorganize, on what
line?
Is a democratic nrlnclolo to be deserted
simply liecuUso It has met defeat' at the
tiolls? If a nlatform Is tho convcnHhs of
opinion of thn mijorlty of n party, ami If
tuc minority snouiu yield to tnc will ot tne
majority, so expressed, can there be u
question as to where the democracy stands
toiiuy :
.Now. I'll tell you how I would reorganize
tho democratic pnrty. I would Just let It
remain as It Is nnd ask every voter In tho
nation who Is opposed to the imperialistic
nnd extravagant policy ot tho present ad
ministration to voto with tliosp. bpl e.vtiiir

ment was ndoptcd Including nil news

before ho was recognized a voto. was taken
and thc resolution, .adopted r.s amended.
Again a demand was mndo for a roll call,
but was declared out ot order because the

One of the surprises of the Ak-Sar-Bcn
cornhal was tho street pdrade nnd sham
battlo ot the Nebraska National guard yes
tcrday afternoon. It was n surprlso In
more ways than one. The chief of police
was surprised. Tho mayor of Omaha was
bui prised. The members of tho board of
governors of he Knights of Ak-Sar-Ucn
wero surprised nnd not the lenst surprised
uiau was the brigadier general command
ing tho First brigade of tho National guard
who headed tho forces as they marched In
battlo array through tho streets, while
tho lesser officers and tho privates who slni
ply obey orders utidcr tho clrcunistaucc3
did not knov whether they were sent to
tho city In conformity with tho original or
dcrs or if a mistake had been made.
Tho riot drill and sham battlo had been
onco declared off. That was -done nt noon
yesterday by Brigadier General Barry. It
wai declared effective again about 3 o'clock
by Adjutant General Colby.
Tho reason tho sham battle was declared
off wan told ycaterday. The mayor, after
talking with General harry upon tlto sub
Jeet, decided that (he force of tho con
cussion of the heavy guns of the artillery
would damage tho window panes along tho
streets where the shooting would Inke place
and that thero would probably bo frlghteiiW
horses which would Injure tho people who
always crowd around surh scenes. The
inntter wus taken up with tho board of gov
ernors of tho Knights of Ak-Sar-Bcn, who
cnmmunlcf.ted with Ilrlgndlcr General
Barry. The general was perfectly willing
to glvo 'pp tho riot drill. At tho police
station every mnn on tho force had been
ordctcd to report at 3 o'clock and every pOs
slblo precaution had been taken (o prevent
accident. The men were sent homo with the
exception of tposo on duty. nnd announce
ments' wero sent out by tho board of gov
ernors and the mayor to the effect that
thero would be no soldiers upon tho streets
In the afternoon.
General Iliiri'y'n Order.
At Camp Omaha General Barry had Is
sued an order to tho effect that, the march
to tho city would not bo held, but that the
entire forco would tako part In n sham
battle to be held at. tho parade grounds In
camp at 5:30 p. m. The mayor, the general
and tho board of govornqra nil requested the
newspapers to nnnouuee, that the riot drill
would Lot be held.
Then something the,, happened. General
Colby, tho commander of tho guard under
tho governor, had not been consulted. When
the time came for the troops to prepnro
for tho march to tho city thero was no
evldenco that they wero going and the ad
jutant general Inquired why tho troops wero
not Oh tho move. When ho found out thcr.i
was another order IsbuciI arid this order
e'emmunded all soldiers to get ready for' the
march and riot drill on the streets of
Omuha. Tho troops came to town, but they
did not arrive until n llttlo after 4 o'clock,
when they were to have been on tho
grounds at 3. Thero w.ib a hurry call at
tho police station nnd all of the available
men,who. could be reached were .sent out to
fteept tho .crowd .In check, but they wero
not needed as tho guard wero perfectly .able
to take care of themselves.
CJnve Their 1,11 tin SIhmv.
The troops left camp Bhortly after 3
o'clock, marching in brigade formation
down the- boulevard, to. Chicago street,
V-hero they were divided Into battalions.
Xhf first battalion of tho Second regiment,
under command of Lieutenant Colonel
Tracy, swung into Sixteenth street: the
fecond battalion of the same reglmont.. nn
tier Major McDonnell, moved to Fifteenth
street; the third battalion, commanded on
a marnh for tho Ilrst tlmo by Major Bal
shaw, marched to Fourteenth street. Tho
flMt battalion ofy tho First regiment, under
command of Lieutenant Colonel Talbot,
marched to Thirteenth street, whllo (he
second and third baUnllons of that regi
ment, commanded respectively by Majors.
Mooro and Vlckers, moved' down T.welfth
and Eleventh streets," Trje troop of cavajry
followed tho third battalion of tho FJrst
regiment and tho battery followed the sc
ond battalion of thn same regiment. Tho
men marched In company formation, clear
ing Jim streets beforo them until thov
reached Dpuglas street, whero nil compa
nies east of Sixteenth marched to tho west,
Tho brlgadlor general and his staff took
(holr station at Klftocnth nnd Douglas
streets, where, they werc soon Joined, hy
Governor Savagcr.and thn adjutant general
of"(he7 'fstuyds with tho governor's staff,
modntod. Cnptan Kllfari of tho United
States army also Joined tho reviewing
party .at this place.
Tho Infantry formed hollow squares by
companies on Douglas street between Fif
teenth and Sixteenth streets and flred by
volleys nt tho unseen enemy, who was
treated ns though located In the (all build
ings nlong tho Btrecl. Tho now Gatllng
gun of tho Thurston Rlflqs was given Its
maiden Volco In Omaha air and belched
forth - nf number of imaginary bullets nt
tho crowd- which filled the entrance to (he
carnival grounds. Tho nrtlllery wns
hrou;ht along to look at, .for It was feared
that tho .-oncusflotia of those guns would
create damage. Tho cavalry acted ns renr
'Ktinrd for Infa'ntry. but tho crowds pre
cluded rnnnntivcrs on the part of this nrm
ot the sorvice. At Fifteenth and Dodge
streets, nfter pe'sslnp In review bofore tho
governor and generals, tho troops were Ills,
missed by companies and the soldiers took
tho first ears to camp.
ienernl Colli- Hxplnlnx,
Speaking about 'the apparent conflict In
orders nnd tho marching of the troops to
the city nfter the riot drill had been de
clared off. General Colby said: "I novor
know anything a,bout tho desire of 'the
mayor and )hn board of governors (o have
Ihe demonstration stopped, This Is not a
display wholly for tho benefit of tho public,
tt Is 'a part oMho work of tho National
guard and this-march and drill Is pirt of
the pructlcq they should recolvc. It was
not given primarily to give the peoplo
pleasure, but to glvo the troops experience
In work In a city. Wo aro always pleased
to have tho people out on these occa
sions, but their presence Is not the occa
sion for It.
"The people need lo know more about
Hie state troops. 1 am glad the police
forco was not out In Its full strength, for.
wo nave been, able tu show tno public lh.t
tlH Lroops-.of t)o stato oanmarch through
a crowded . city and perform their qvqIu
tlons without damaging either llfo or prop.
crty.s There need have been no cause for
fear r.s to the use of the artillery, for wo
would always havo seep. hat nothing was
dono to ilamago the property of the cltl
ions. Wo havo come dawn here und gone
through our practice drills and no ono Is
thn worse off for It."
Tho troops on returning lo the camp re
sumed their usual routlno, with no dreou
parade, ami today will bo on hand for
the civic and military parade. "
