He believed thas the party had » hard campaign before it. He said demo- crats had to dofest the republican pirty and not its nominees, for no matter what cbjections can be raised wgainst them, they will command the vote of the republican party. The usual committees were then appointed. 1lliols for Sevmour. Bpecial Dispatch to The Bee. SpriNarieL, [Lis , Juvell, 1a. m. At the afterncon session McGoudy, of Chicago, cffred the following resolu- tion, which had been previously adopted by delezaves of the let, 7th, 91h, 10th, 13th and 14th districts Resolved, That the democrats of Illinois faver the nomination ot Horatio Seymour for president of the United States, and the delegates and alternates to the national convention be and are_heroby requested to use their best efforts to secure the nomi- pation of Horatio Soymou. A scene of the wildest enthusiasm followed, the delegates rising up ina body cheering and waving bats. Whia the applases;hed puctisily veb- rsided Mr. Bowman, of St. Clair coun- ty, moved that it be referred to the committes on resolution.s In the ‘midst of a great deal of confusion the friends of the other candidates, Davis, Palmer, and Morrison, made speeches in favor of the motion to refer. ‘Whenever the name of Seymour was ‘mentioned the convention burst out in wild applause. Davis' name was recived with faint cheers and cries of “no, no.” The delegates of twelve Qistricts are for Seymour, six for Mor- rison and one for Palmer. Hon..Iiyman Trumbull wes nowi- nated for governor and Gen. Lew Parsons for lieutenant governor. Gonvention Echoes. Spodal digpatet o The Ber New Yok, June 11:—1 8. m.— Echoes of the great struggle at Chi- cago still continue to reverberate, and they gather new strength as the ex- ulting anti-Grant delegates return to the city whence they started outa foritight ago on what was generally considered & hopeless enterprise. The choice of a standard-besrer having been made the next thing thing in order is to organize, drilcand arm for the coming campaign, and a corps of Garfield clabs may be looked for in & few days. The views of reprasentative people on the republican nomination will scareely give place to any fixed politi- cal interest until the Cincinnati con- vention shall have completedits labors. The defeat of the third-term faction seems to give general satisfaction in some business circles where it was thonght the nomination of Grant would have a disastrous effect on the interests of trade, as the policy of Becretary Sherman would, in such an event, have received a rude shock. BORROWING TROUBLE. Some of the republiean rank and file cannot yet be brought to regard the presidential team as likely to pull well together in barness. In their opinion it is absurd to msintain that a proud, overbearing man like Conkling uch a terrible blow with equanimity and in a forgiving apirit, and that such & cgeuy crumb of comfort as giving his henchman asecond place ca_the ticket would suffice io console him. They even go 80 far as to assert that the baffled syn- dieate of Cogkling, Cameron and Lo- «gan would rather see the democratic candidate elected than to be obliged to follow inthe conquerer's train to the capital, and to witness the triumph of the present admivistration with which Garfield is 8o entirely in sccord.

Caicaco, June 11, 1 a. m.—The session of the greenback convention yesterday atternoon was devoted to the ment of two things, to- wit: The adoption of the majority re- port of the committee on_credentials, and the admiesion of socialistic, labor and _union-greenback delegates It was 7 o'clock before this was accom- ished, and the celegates from the Iting convention eutered the hall. Their entrance was the signal for scene of wild excitement, which, rivalling in originality of the demon. s'ration of i?:‘:;d not in amount of noise with the tumult which the re- publican convention indnlg:’;n;h.m had boen very warm, air ::,thp mnufin? hall was almost in- tolerable. Half the delegates were in their shirt-sloeves, and yet the heat seemed to have no depressing effect upon the enthusiaem of delegates. ‘There was cheering, shouting and yelling until tongues were tired and voices lost. Men mounted on men’s shoulders in their efforts to raise the bauners of their states higher than ptheir neighbors’, and, . TO CAP THE CLIMAX, Miss Spencer, of Washington, a_tall, thin, aogular woman, and & leader in the delegation of woman suffragists, here mounted a reporters’ table, and supported on_either side by men, soatched her bonnet from her head and placed it en_top of a pole and waved it frantically, round and round, high above the heads of the audicnce. The effort was electrical ; shouted and howled agam like mad. A delegate from Wyoming, where women have been granted -suffrage rushed forward with the baoner of that territory in a twinkling was be- side Miss Spencer waving it 2a & com- panion to the ladies’ bonnet. The din continued for nearly batf an hour, and it waa not until physical endur- ance was exhausted that the conven- tion could be induced to take a recess until 8 o'clock for supper. The committee on resolutions is un- derstood to be ready to report_imme- diately after recess, and an effort will be made to make the nomination to- night. THE PLATFORM. At the evening session the following latform was adopted, omitting the fenglby preamble: 1. That the right to make and issue | money is a sovercign power, to be maintained by the people for their common benefit, Tte delegation of this rignt to corporationsis a surren- der of the central attribute of sover- eignty, void of constitutional sanction, conferring upon & subordinate, irre- sponsible power absolute d miinion over industry and commere. Al money, whether metallic or paper, should be issued and its volume con- trolled by the governwent, and uot by or through banxing corporations, and when so_issued should be a full legal tender for all debts, public. and private. 5 2. That the bonds of the United States be nut refunded, but paid as rapidly ss_practicable, according to contract. To enable the government to meet these obligations, legal tender currency should be substituted for the notes of the national banks, the na- tional banking system abolished, and the unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold established by law. 3. "hat labor should be so pro- taoted by national and state suthority a8 to equalize its burdens and insure & just distribution of its results. The eight-hour law of congreus should bo enforced ; the saitary condition of industris] establishments placed under rigid control; the competition of con- the crowd | WASHINGTON. A Desperate Scramble for Person- al Gain Commenced by Congress. All Necessary Campaign Lit- erature to be Manufact- ured Before Adjourn- ment. The House Already Wrestling With Political Bills. The River and Harbor Appro- priation Harmoniously Patched and Passed. SCRAMBLE FOR PLUNDER. Spacial Dispatch to The Bee. Caicaco, June 10—4 p. m.—The Journal's Washington special says: Congress having fixed the 16th as the date of adjournment, there can be no reconsideration, and a most desperate scramble to pars bills affecting individ- ual intarests and tomake political cap- ital will now Lo witnessed in ! both houscs. In the house particu- larly the Democrats are resolved to make all ths political speeches possi- ble, and several have indicated their purpos to reprint in the nature of & spocch some voluminous reports of former congresses, which they think mayin some way affzct the ropublican cause. THE MARSRALS BILL. The democr: n the houss com- menced their effrts t> pass political bills. Aftsr a long wrangle it was sgrecd that the marshals bill should be postponed until to morrow, when three hours’ Jebate should be allowed upon it. There will bo a determined effort on the part of the ropublicans to defeat this. FREE SALT. The senate parsed a bill which looks like the beginniog of a move- ment for free salt. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. WasarNarox, June10.—4 p. m.— In the House Reagan submitied a re- port znnouncing that the conference committee on the river atd harbor ap- tract convict labor abolished. A bu. reau of labor statistics should be es- tablished; factories, mines snd work- shops should be ivspected. The em- ployment of children under 14 years of age should be forbidden, and wages paid in cash. % 4. Slavery being simply cheap labor, and cheap labor being simply slavery, the importation and presence of Chi- nese serfs necessarily tends to brutal- ize aud degrade American lbor. Therefora, immediate steps should be taken to abrogate the Burlingame treaty. 5. Railroad land grants forfeited by reason_of non-fulfillment should be immediately reclaimed by the govern- ment, and henceforth the public do- main be resersed exclsively as homes for actuslsettlers. 6 All lines of communication snd transportation should be brought un- dersuch legislative control as shall se cure moderate, fair and uviform ratss for passenger snd freight traffic. Itis the duty of coogress to regulate inter- state c-mmerce. 7. We-denounce as dulru\:tllvba" to rosperity and dangerous to liberty. B Ttk o ool partics i fodey ingand sustaining gigantic land, rail- road and money corporations and ‘monopolies invested with and exercis- ingpower belonging to the govern- ment and yet not responsible to it for the manner of this exercise. 8. That the _conslitution, iu giving congress the power to borrow money, to declare war, to raise and support ar- mies, to provide and myintain a navy never intended that the men who loaned their money for an interest consideration should be preferred to the soldiery and soldiers who periled their lives and shed blood on land seain defense of their country, and wecondemn the cruel c'ass legislation of the repablican party, which, while professing great gratitude to the sol- dier, isfmost unjustly discriminating against him and in favor of the bond- holder. 5 9. All property shall bear its just proportion of taxation, sod. we de- mand a gradusted income tax. 10. We denoanceas most dangerous the efforts everywhere manifest to re- strict the right of suffcage. 11. We are opposed toan increase of the standing army in times of peace and the it us scheme to establish ilitary power under the guise of militia laws. 12. We demand absolute democrat- icrales for the government of con- gress, placicy, all representatives of the people upon an equal footing and taking away from the committees a veto power greater than that of the president, 13. Weo demand a government of the people by the people and for the people, instead of a government of the bondholder and for the bondholder, and we denounce the attempt to stir up sectional strife as an effort to con- ceal monstrous crimes against the people. 14. In the furtherance of these ends we ask the co-operation of all fair minded people. We haveno quarrel with individuals, wage no war upon classes, bat are against vicious insti- tutions. We are not content to en- dure further discipline from our pres- ent actual rulers, who, having domin- fon over money, over transportatton, over land and labor and largely over: the press and the machinery of the goveroment, wield unwarrantable wer over our institutions and our E:u and property. The convention consumed the re- ‘mainder of the evening util midnight discussing the woman's suffrage resolu- tions. It was referred tothe several states for their favorable action. BOLTING SOCIALISTS. Thesocialists lett the hall because their declaration that land, air and ‘water are free to all, was not acted Spom and iacorporat=d in. their plat- form.

Hartranft for collector of customs for the district of Philadelphie. COKGRESS:ONAL. HOUSE. ‘WasHINGTON, Juve 11—1 a. m.— The joint rule for_counting the votes of electors for president and vice pres- ident was taken up, and Mr. Bicknell addressed the house n favor of the adoptiou of the rule, showing tho ne- ceasity for some action on the subject. The basis upon which the joint rule rests is, first, the theory that the right to count involves the right to say what ave lawful votes; that the right to de- termine the validity of the certificates belongs of & necessity to the two houses of congress, and can not be safely abandoned ; that it will put sn end to many of the uncertsinties and embarrassments of presidential elec- tions. Mr. Robsson—Ia the absence of any report upon this eubject, I deny the power of congress to make lawa or do acts to affct the government of the country for all future time. It is in- disputable that if ihe two houses of congress assemble in obedience to the constitution, and have power to re- ceive the electoral vote, it then fol- lows that the two houses may by pre- vious action prescribe rules to govern them in that proceeding. Heo argued that if the two houses can not receive and declare the result in such a man- ne a3 to bind the whola country, then the two houses can not by any provi- ous rale prescribe a method for ascer- taining the result; but if the two houses can raceive votes and declare the rerult, they can in advance of that procoeding declare the mode and method of proceedings. Mr. Updegeall, of Iowa, opposed the rule, arguing that it was unconsti- tutional, because it took away from the president of the senate power given by the constitution to count the electoral vote. He opposed it also because he denied the right of con- -o88 to determine who were electors. Fhat was a question for states them- selves t determine, and congress conld not sst aside ths verdict of states. Mr. Hutchins said, under the law, Jefferson Davis was ineligibls to the office of prasident. Suppose a majority of elections should caet their votes for him. Must congrees accept that vote becauss it comes from states. - Mr. Updegraff ssid that congress had nothing to do with it, the presi- dent of the senate was ths person to count. Mr_Keifer #aid if the votes were for Jefferson Davis they must be counted, but by the proper authority; but still Davis would be ineligible un- der the law. M. Bright said that under the pro- visions of the constitution the house may proceed to the election of presi- dent under a contingency. Now, he waated to know, who was to deter- mine whether there had been an ele: tion or not and how it was to be de- termined. Mr. Updegraff said it would be de- termined primarily by the president of the senate, and if further proceed- ing was necessary, by the courts. . Lounsbury regarded some ac- tion as absoluteiy necessary in the view of the occurrence at the last presidential ¢lection. If he under- stood Mr. Robeson right that gentle- man did*not balieve thero was any wer of congress toact upon the sub- Ject, but it was all admitted to be de- terained by force. Mr. Robeson said he had been mis- joct of the constitution. He said con- gress could make laws to carry out ita. };mviaiuul, but a joiat rule was not a aw. Mr. Lounsbury ssid if the gentle- man held that it was a law to regulate this, then it follows thatit is a matter 10 be construed entirely of power, and might result shed. He then proceeded to atgue that it wes a proper role, and should be adopted, sud argued that the sen- ate and house were not present as mere spectators, but they were the factors by which the result must be declared. Pending further discussion of the Jjoint rule the house adjourned. SENATE. ALill to exompt lastical antiqui- ties from payment of import duties.

He also proposed to entirely abolish the malt tax, substi- tuting therefor a beer duty of six shil- lings per barrel, a consequent loas of £1,100,000. Mr. Gladstcne said that hie proposed to ssk in ycompensation the addition of one pence to the in- come tax, which, he estimated, would produce £1,425,000.

The Beardless Beauties Hire a Hallto Celebrate the Begin- ning of the End of the Term, And Air Their Aspiration ‘Through the Medium of an Essay. How the Thing Was Done. Correspondence of The Bee. LiNcory, June 9.—The State Uni- versity has not only become the most conspicuous and important among the s putlic inatitutions of the state, but 73 | ““commencement week” is the crown- 1hg event in the li'e sryand social life of Lincoln. On Sunday evening the spacious and # [ elegant opera house was filied to the last foot of available spacer, by citi- zens of the place and visitors from abroad, to lsten to the Bacalau- reate sermom by Chancellor Fairfield. Whatevor the justics avd Fmprlely of the numerous criticisms aunched against the chancellor by newspapers and the public dariag th» past year, this remarkable address went far to establish more firmly than ever befure Chancellor Fairfield’s po- sition in the confidenca of the pe pls of the state. His subject, “Physical, Moral and Spiritusl Dyaamics ” handled in » manner that com: the closest attention of every individ- ual in the vast audience. THE ANNUAL ADDRESS to graduates by Chancellor Hammond of the Iowa university, notwithstand- ing a threatening thunder stoim, was weil attended on Tuesday evening, To say that this address utterly failed to meet the expectations of the audi- ence, is puttioga very cautious esti- wmate uponit. It was a closely connect= ed but not a bri ment in fa vor of higher educ tion at the exponse of thestate. Nebraskaand Iowa not only need, but have in large numbers better champions ¢f that great princi- ple. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES proper were held at the opera house Yyesterday morning. There waa a full attendance of the board of regents with the exception of Hon. N. R Persinger, of Central City. A pro- cession was formed, headed by the college band and cadets under com- mand of Lieut. Isaac T. Webster, of the regalar army, who has had charge of military tactics ard civil engineer- ing since 1876. The hall was well filled, and each speaker proved com- petent in_ability and training to com- pletely master and hold the a'teation of the audience. After invecation and music, by a talonted and thoroughly trained quartette, THE OPENING ADDRESS was pronounced by Howard W. Cald- well of Lincoln. The positions of the members of the class were assigned alphabetically, hence both _salutatory and valedictory contained mnothing ‘more than the regular staple substance of the graduating orations. Mr. Cald- well's oratton was entitled “The Scholar's Mission.” 1t was a well considered production, and was a model in style of delivery. It portrayed the work of the true scholar in guiding the weyward tendencies of the masses of the p pulace. THE SECOND ORATION on the list, by S. D. Cox,was entitled, “The Extreme endencies of the Age.” He combatted the theory that extreme thought had passed its day, and discussed the revolutions which Tave at times changed the relations of capital and production, the “‘some- what premature enfranchisement of the colored racs” and tho unseemly wrangls of woman to change her po- sition in the social econom The speaker said that the prevailing tend- ency to communism of the present time grew out of the too exclusive de- votion ot the scholar to the study of the physical sciences. Mr. Cox proved himself an original thinker, who has ewrly become biased by the atmos- phere of the old-time college. Warren Loree, of Lincoln, next dis- cussed NINGS OF HISTORY. P led in ous manner the value of the s relics of past erss, as found in ge cal research and in the dim, andgin this day, apparent'y absurd vagaries nt mythology. Mr. Loree isa thoughtful, sincere and earncst orator and occupied an honored place ia the lst. “S0CIAL FORCES” was the subject of the cration of Mr. David H. Morcor, of Browaville. This speaker appealed manfly (o the American publicto provide “‘educa tion for woman as well as for man, and education for all classes and not for casto only.” Whilelfully realizing the value of ancient classice, he doem- ed life tco short to consume such imo as of cld, inthe mastery of th-se classics, whil> Shakspesro Milton should be held co-ordi rank. The strifes of pel precipitate conflicts of races, the ob- literation of the supreme law of sup- ply and demand by a mania for med- dldsome legislation were each de- nounced. He would nurture liberal- ism, but never mittake literalism for sensationalism, as is done by so many clergymen of the present time who claim high salaries and applause at every turn. Mr. Mercer has in him the material for a commanding orator and an honest, usefal reformer. MISS EMMA PARKS, of Efucoln, the only lady member of the class, pronounced an oration en- “The Teudency of Modern Science.” She believes that slavery to science of the present day has “‘placed reason in a state of in- | surrection sgainst'the heart,” and that science with all her knowing reaches no farther than the old philosophy clear-minded self-possessed crator, with not a trace of the can’t prevalent among the strong-mioded women of the ‘malcontent ~conventions. She shows clearly what a scholarly woman and honored college graduate can te, and yet be characteristically woman. CHARLES K. STRATTOX, of Ashland, chose as his subjeot “The individuality of the citizen.” The keynots of the address was that “with individuality gone, all progress in society ceases.” Ths spesker in a positive manuer denounced the tendency of the college curricalum that seeks to mould all characters in- to a uniform mass. HARRY K. WOLFE, of Lineoln, spoke on *‘Philosophy and Christiarity.” He enunciated the thought very clearly, that no Chris- tianity was ever inculoated sucosss- fully unless preceded by civilized in- fluencee. Ho called attention to the evident fact that the culture of an- cient Greece snd Rome were the fit and necessary precursors of the rise of the Christian religion. He offered thesuggestion that the chasm between athelsm and thelsm was much wider than the chasm between Greek phi- losophy and Christianity. JAMES H. WORLEY, of Wahoo, pronouaced the closing ad- dress, entitled, *Freedom the Basis of History.” The spoaker maintsined that though freedom can choose mis- rule and demoralization it can also choose order, elevation and progress. This young man handled a novel line of thoughtin s most ingenious man- ner, and is evidently & student of rare ability. No formal valedictory was pronounced. THE CONFERRING OF DIPLOMAS by the chance'lor was accompanied by a brief, formal addrees to each, closing with a_brief general address to the whole class who had taken places below among the audience, He said that the student was apt to imagine when entering upon a college course that he and the faculty had little in common as & bond of sympathy. This, ho hoped, bad been thoroughly dis- pelled in the case of the class before him. He made a happy refetence to lh: class motto—*Palma, nol;” sine pulvere”—-which may perhaj e pressed thus Thenyilpe:o ;Fmt.h of victory without the clashing of oppos- ing forces. He also, in apt allusion to Mr. Stratton’s oration, hoped that no pulverizing had destroyed or curtailed the individuality and the freedom and positiveness of character of any student comprising the class before him. ‘The Union and Palladian literary societios have each held meritcrious exhibitior ing the week, and give unmistakable indications of abundant materials among the under gradustes to insure future graduating classes of high standing. A common sence, independent, thinking elements seems to exist among all the students who have become prominent during the anniversary exercises. A.C. S ——— The Killing of Curley. Deadwood Times, Jue €. Detective Liewellyn, who is at pre- sent in this city to answer to the charge of iliegally ridding our try of a road agent, is of the opi that the grand jury now in sesslon here will not tackle his case. It is be- lieved that tke territorial i court has no jurisdiction inthe The officer, at the time of killing “Curly,” was acting by the authority of a United States warrant, and besides, the kilung was done on a military reservation If the present grand jury take no action in the premises, Detective Llswellyn will return to Deadwood in Avgust and make a statement of the affair to the United States jurors who will be in session at that time. He has no sy prehensions of the outcome of ti killing, as he is satisfied the jury wi appreciate the merits of the case; but in the event they shouldn’t, we don’t believe that there *‘twelve good men and true” in this country who would condemn and Boone May for rid- ding this region of bandits.
