HUNTINGTON The republicans ot Omaha decreed the ronomlnatlon of Frank E. Moorea for mayor at their primaries Friday, and the city con vention registered that decree yesterday. Along with the renominatlon of Mayor Moorea the convention named the candi dates aa here given for the other city offl- cea to be Ailed at the coming election. The convention was one of the most ex citing known In republican annals, and the margin between tbe two contending factions so close that a fierce fight was kept up un til the nomination of Moorea was accom plished, whereupon the antls, with the ex ception ot one lone delegate from the Ninth ward, took their departure from the con vention hall, and refused to participate further In tbe proceedings. '-Notwithstanding the clear majority of Moorea -delegates, elected at the primaries against every possible opposition, notwith standing that the cntls had lost out under a. gerrymandered apportionment by which they thought they had made themselves la vincible; notwithstanding the fact that tbe entire' machinery of the primary . election Waa In the haada aaMoMUid notwith standing the further fact that all the cor porate boodle had been distributed tor their i benefit, the antl-Moorea men pretended that they had hot been fairly beaten, aud tesorted to every known device -to snatch victory out of defeat. Boue;ht One Moorea Man. The entire morning had been apent by the anti-leaders trying to capture delegatea elected for Moores by holding out to them tempting bribes of money and promises of positions. They succeeded in finding only one sell out, an Eighth ward delegate .named Lind quest, whose treachery created the sensa tion of the convention. Llndquest was doped with liquor and abducted so aa to prevent him from being brought to his senses by hia friends In the convention hall. They kept him In the middle of the Sixth ward delegation, Instead of allowing him to alt with hla fellow delegatea from tho Eighth ward, tor fear they might not be able to force htm to deliver the goods, and when the walkout came, headed by Burbank, Ooss and Weatberg, they carried poor Llndquest with them. It waa not tbs fault of the antl-puriflera that they were not able to buy more of the Moores men. The corruption operatlona were conduoted from room 330 ot the Millard hotel. In which Police Commissioner Broatch and the notorious Walter Mnise were the prom inent flgutes. Ex-Polloe Officer Sam Mor ris, on the Second ward delegation, waa offered reinstatement on tbe police force If he would turn traitor, and a similar offer waa made to ex-Sergeant Shoup on the Third ward delegation. A cash propo sition waa made up In four fig urea by Vlo Walker, as agent for the vote-purchasing ayndlcate, for three of the colored men ea the Third ward delegation, and the bid waa run aa high aa $500 for a poor Jew on the Eighth ward delegation. Ia one of these cases, however, except that of Llndquest. waa tbe corporation boodle able to score. Herrlaare Hlarh-Handed Work. The feature of the convention, aside from the boodle operations of tbe antta. was ths high-handed and coarse work of Chair man Horrtng of the city committee, who had taken the contract to steal tbe organ isation away from the majority and put Ralph Breckenrldge In as chairman with out regard ti the wlshea of the delegates. Herring tried to make a ruling that would exclude from participation in tbe tempo, rary organisation the delegations from tbe Third and Eighth wards, who had un questioned credentials, on the plea that objectlona bad been entered againat them, although It waa shown that such a ruling waa absolutely unprecedented and would logically destroy tho convention. Every one of the antla, on appeal trora the deci sion, voted to sustain tho chair, who yet waa overruled by the teat vote of T2 to 7L Thla test vote put Robert Cowell, the candidate of the Moorea men. Into the chair, and be staid there through the con-, ventlop, .ruling with coolness and eminent fairness. Seised Slender Pretext. Finding thcmaclvca In the minority, the antla looked for an excuse tor a Walkout, which had been prearranged. They pre tended to find it to tbe action of Chairman Cowell refusing to poll the Second ward in the middle of a roll call on the demand ot Ninth ward delegates, who declined to vote until their demand waa granted. Tbe anils forgot that only a few momenta be fore Chairman Herring had refused a de mand for a poll of the Fifth ward undr similar elrcumstsnces, holding t'jat a poll was admissible only when demanded by a delegate who clat'.red bis vole bad bceu wrongfully recordio. No member cf the Second wsrd dflegatlon asked for a poll at any time, and the vote on mayor was announced wtthout te Ninth ward, yst giving Frank K- Moorea a clear majority REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Cornish moved that the vote be by warda, with no proxtea al lowed, and thoae of a delegation present to cast the vote of any absentees. Robert Smith moved, amidst hisses from the Moorea faction, that only such dele gations aa had no protest filed against them be allowed to vote. Cornish raised the point of order - that those delegatea holding certificates from the primary elec tion boards had prima facie evidence ot being entitled to vote and must be ac cepted. Appeala from Herring Ruling. The chair overruled the point of order and Cornish appealed, calling for a vote by warda. Herring responded that Cornish must wait until after a viva voce vote, and called for an aye and nay vote on sus taining the chair. The nay chorus and the aye chorus were so nearly equal In volume that distinction waa Impossible. Roll call waa again demanded and waa made after Secretary Nathan P. Dodge, jr., ot tbe city central committee had read the list of the delegates who had filed cer tificates from the board. It waa on this first roll call that the strength of the factions waa tested and tbe treachery of a Moorea delegate dis closed. The First ward's ten votes, tbe Second ward's fourteen, tbe Third ward'a twelve and the Fourth ward'a twenty went against the chair. The Fifth ward'a tblr teen, the Sixth ward's twenty-six anrt the Seventh ward'a fifteen went to sustain him. Poll of the Eighth begau aud proceeded as against the chair until It reached the naiue of J. G. E. Llndquest, a tailor at 1U02H Webster atreet, rooming at 71!) North Seventeenth street. Llndquest voted "aye" and tbe atorin broke! Crowd Jeers the Deserter. Traitor!" waa called from a doien dif ferent parte ot the house, and as the con vention came to realize that the man had deserted the Interests he had been elected to support the anger became general and the contempt not to be auppresied. "Boodler!" "Bought!" "How much did you get?" These and other oneera were Interspersed with the constant crlee of "Traitor!" that wore yelled at him from delegates and from apectators alike. Llndquest, a young Swede, had been sitting not with his own delegation, but with tbe anti-Moorra delegation from the Sixth and directly tn front of John N. Westberg. When the jeers and sneers be came ao furious as to amount to a wild roar Llndquest cowered and shrank down between the shoulders tf two stalwart pro tectors of the Sixth ward purity faction He looked neither to right nor left, but stared vacantly at the wail 'n front ot him aud had not voice to respond even to the encouragements whispered In bis ear by Westberg. Herrlar ftnew Him. Finally, to divert attention. Burbank of tbe antl faction called upon toe chair to have all except delegatea put outside tho ropes. But the crowd continued to cry "Traitor!" and to demand that he be mido to stand up tbst alt mtgnt aee ntin. Finally Munro. leader cf tho Eighth word delegation, thouted above the' roar: "We object to that ma a voting as a member of our delegation. We haven't aeen bis face and don't know who be is." "Well, we know and that Is sufficient." rejoined the naivety fiank chairman, who had in his opening remarks avowed a hi!y purpese 'o be, aa he hid been sincu a little ih Id, "whtlly fair." This trazeo ccnfiS;lou of purpose, sdd-t to the excitement crested by tbe discovery of treachery, sa lncenned the convention that it was just elgh cen minutes before tli polling rouid bs renumed.

KlRhth Ward Ninth Ward 1. J. O'BRIEN ...GEORGE W. SMITH E. P. BERRYMAN THOMAS FAIX-ONETt K. L. ROBERTSON Six ballots were required to nominate Ed ward E. Howell for mayor at the demo cratic city convention held la Oermanla hall lust night. It wss close work, but starting in with forty-nine votes, he pulled gradu ally ahead and on the sixth ballot there came a stampede to him that landed sixty nine votes, or eleven more than necessary to nominate. Then his selection waa made unanimous. For a time things looked bad for Howell, although he had carried the primaries by a clean majority of six dele gates. Not the least of the disturbing elements was the information assiduously circulated that the bolting republicans had decided to support any democratic nominee other than Howell. Thla Information waa ac cepted with credence at the democratic convention hall, where W. J. Broatch and Walter Mol.se aat aa much interested spec tators. Howell sympathizers had packed the gal leries and the first floor to the chaira re served for delegatea. The people were jammed In o thick and made ao much noise that on aeverat occasions the chair- n'aiT "4etlared he " would order the hall cleared of apectators If there waa not lass disturbance. - Opposition Not United, The antl-Howell forcea lost because they could not unite upon a candidate. In the caucusing preceding the convention many ' suggestions were tried In vain. It waa too lore and the superior organization ot the Howell forcea told and won the victory.' Had It been posstblo tor the men who op posed, him to have arranged their early atrength for any single man, they would have beaten him, but It waa not. The other candidates, with the exception of Thomas Falconer for the council in the Eighth ward, were nominated easily and most of them by acclamation. There was no dissent over the platform. It selected three Fifth warders, M. P, O'Conner, C' ft T.rhar,1r mnA William Vl.w,ln In. tw W Mwwn ' ,, i ii ih i.l - . i villi iig . vi v. i clerk, comptroller and tax commissioner,' respectively, by acclamation, and In the aame manner nominated Carl C. Wright of the Ninth ward for city attorney, Charlej ' Wlthnell ot the Eighth ward for building Inspector and J. H. Schtuidt ot the Ninth ward for treasurer. After the strenuous mayoralty fight there waa a lull that lasted until candidatea for Eighth ward councilman were presented. The delegation elected, with the exception of one-half of a vote owned by I. J. Dunn. was antl-Howell. They wanted Thomaa Falconer nominated for councilman, claim. Ing the votera had expressed a preference for him on tbe ballots. I. J, Dunn and a. good part of the convention wanted Harry MitVm nominated. Threateaa to Bolt. On the first ballot the vote atood a tie. or o7',4 for each man. On the second Fal coner won, 64 votes to SI. During the time consumed In this Joseph P. Butler, who led the Eighth ward delegation, had made a fiery speech, In which ho declared that if Falconer waa not nominated the delegatea would leave the convention and do their utmost to defeat McVra. Henry Rohlff attempted to verbally chastise him. Dr. A. H. Hippie was chosen temporary chairman and A. A. Arter temporary sec retary. Thia organlrvion waa made per manent without opposition and John T. Hart named aa aadtstant secretary. It waa agreed that the majority of delegations would cast tbe vote of absenteee and the chairman would announce the vote, sub ject to change only by challenge of a mem ber of the delegation. On the motion ot C. S. Montgomery a committee of five waa appointed by the chair to prepare a platform. The plat form committee waa: I. J. Dunn, C J. 8myth. Lysie I. Abbott, George W. Shields and R. J. Aitchison. Tbe warda were called for nominations. rlkt for Mayor. The Third ward nominated Howell, the Fourth Ed Strteler and Jau.ee E. Boyd, the Sixth "Ed P. Smith and the Eighth James P. Connolly. J. J. O'Connor's prop osition to dispense with nominating speeches had been toted down. Among the assertions duriDg tbe nominations waa that of C. S. Montgomery, wb'J declared the democracy did not want any candidate who would be acceptable to the bolting repub licans, but what is most desired to make .victory secure is two republican tickets. Pat Ford declared that if Howell were comlnati d he Aould be elected "In spite of tell f.nd high water." The first ballot gave Howell 49 -votes, Staitb 27. Htrreter -S-. Connolly 1SV and M. S.
