MILLEE, editor of The Omsha Hersld, and a member of tho nationsl democratic committee, told a reporter to-night that the Nebraska delegation was solid for Tilden. He thinks Tilden will be the nomines at Ciacinnati. ““I have a very familiar acquaintance,” be con- tinued, “with my part of the coun- try, and I can eay there is a strong feeling that Tilden EMDODIES A GRIEVANCE. We know he made a_brilliant and sucoessful canvass in 1876; we know he was elected to. the_presidency and cheated out of #t. Our people ‘think him a statesman ¢f the higher order.” Dr. Miller further satd he had no doubt Tilden would be nominated on the first ballot. Mr. Canavan and E. B. Stonehill, delegates to the Oincinnati conyention, are in town. Canavan says Ne men will voto SOLID ¥OR TILDEN. He had a lovg talk with Tilden to- day and ssya his impression is that he has no overflowing desire to be acan- didate, but that he will feel compelled to come forward and vindicats him- self.

A Rich Agricultural Region, Well Watered and Timbered. The Towns of Hebron, Alexan- drie, Belviders, Curloton and Davenport. ‘Correspondence of The Bee.. Hzznox, Thayer Co., June 15.— ‘Thayer county is the fifth west of the Missourl river, situsted upon the Kansas line, and consists entirely of gradually undulating fine agricultural 1aud, supplied with a gocd share of water and timber and an abuadance of nutritious grastes. The Big'Sandy and Little Blue rivers croes the conn- ty from west to east, and have numer- ous tributaries, all of which have more os less timber ekirling their baoks. Lezs than twenty per cent. of the Jand Eas been subject to the plow, but statistics show that tho soil is very productive, and the crops present a very flattering appearance at the pres- ent writing for this scason. The population of the county is 6,000, and of these 4,200 are engaged in agricultural pursuits. The rest are congregated in five small towns, all of which are located upon the rail- road except Hebron. The R. V. rail- road is nearly completed through the southern part of the county. Hebron expects communication with the out- side world to be furnished by anorth and south road this summer. Hebron is the county seat and larg- est town in the county. It has built some fine residences, and takes much care in decorating yards with trees and ehrubbery. Great interest bas boen faken in the echool, and it has acquired considerable reputation as a high school. A dezen stores do a considerable trade, and represent all the various lines of merchandising A eplendid water power on the Blue river is utilized by a large flour- ing mill. Last Saturday, during the fierce gals that accompanied the storm, & part of the roof was blown from the mill. Only the edge of the hurricane struck the building, and as the walls sre of heavy stone, no other damsge was dove. Mr. Hendershot, editor of The Sentiuel, hss one of the finest green- houses in the state. Alexandria, the homs of our pres- ent secretary of state, is a flourishing little city in the northeastern part of the county. e town sustamas an excellent trade and huilding progresses rapidly. The population is five hun- dred, one-third of whom are foreign- ers. * Belvidere, the next town west on the St. Joseph & Westorn railroad, is the entrepot for the business of Heb- ron, and the country surrounding gives promise of a fine crop. An av- erage yield in wheat may certainly be expeced from the whols of this county. Many fruit orchsrds have been planted, and_groves are seen in every direction. The county contains 53,000 fruit and 854,000 forest trees. Carleton and Davenport are both littlo towns in the northwest part of the county, supported by good agri- cultural country, and pessesing rail- road facilities. B At Carleton s number of men - are giving their whole attention to stock. Mr. J. T. Green has purchased from Jacobs, of Iows, Durham Duke 2d, a very fine animal which attracted 1auch attention at the Towa fairs last] season. He also exhibited to me some wool tiwelvo inches long, which evada | was sheared from one of his Cotawold sheep. Jax. Indians Republicans. Special Dispatch to The Bee.

Bpecial Dispatch to Tus Bsa. Ixpraxarous, June 18, 1 a. m.— No convention which has been held in Todisna by the republican party has been proceded by tuch a bitter can- test for the nomination for governor, nor one woaked in_such a peculiar character as the ono held in this city yesterday. Up to lest Saturday Gen. Streight sppeared to have things all his own way for the honor, but Mon- dsy there begen s caucusing by the opposition for some available candi- te, and it was kept up with unabat- ed vigor until the convention met.

Dinnis Kearncy Damns Both ¢ Parties, and Especially Garfleld and Tilden, THE FIELD BoOY. Special Dispateh toThe Eea. Cix boom which loomed up yesterday hes taken shape, with headquarters and an_orgavized bureau and all the | parspharnalis of a’ regolar contest was that for Field, whese banner hes floated from the Gibson house for two crthreo days. There has been mo sterous demonstration thus far, and no speech making, because the number of delegates present has besn too light to warrant speech makin The work, however, hes been p gressing quietly and with good re- sults according fo the managers. The headquarters are in charge of Hon. Sam 8. Smith, of New 1 ork, formerly Judge Fields partner in San Fian- cisco, and who has had charge of the Field movement from its inception months egd, and who hes been giving his attention to its details ever since. He wes rssured by Delegate Ellis, of California,one of the strongest of Judge Field's friends, with bim fcr a candi- dt2s, the democrats can sweep the Pa- cific slope against Gariield. They will be reinforced to-day b$ more of the Cal delegates, and they now expect ake a f-rmidable showirg on the firat ballot. They claim a strength of 150 ballots, and believe this will give them a stronger focting than that of any other ciudidate. They claim to have, after the most careful eanvass, ableast twenty of the twenty-four of the Pacific delegates; all from Colora- do; a majority from Kanses and M souri; a decided majority from Arka sas, and all or mearly all from Al bama, Georgia, Tenncaseo and Vir- ginia; Maine and & part of the New England states; many from New York sad scattering votes from other states. Should Thurman withdraw from the contest, or should he not be ahead on that ballct, it is believed by Judge Field’s supporters that many of thoie votes would to to him, espe- cially those from Weet Virginia. THE OHIO IDEA. They téckon upen tho assumption that the Ohio delegat'on are more de- tormined this time to cast their votes for the strongest candidate than to urge the claims of one of her own £ons, under the belicf that Ohio de ocrats wmill vote for any man as hear 1y o5 for an Ohio man, and that there- they will only vota for Thurman on threo ballots, aud that when they get ready to change Field will be so strong fn favor that the Ohio votes will te given for him rather than for Payne or Jeweit. Then, too, they gain “coursge from the fact that, though Mr. Tilden cannot probably be nom- for a both the e o7 inated, bis influence s s:ill powerful, and while Tilden is knewn to be an: tagonized to Seymour, and Tilden him- solf is xmown to bave apoken_in oppo- rd, Thurman, Hendricks and others in private converzation, he sition to B ha: had ONLY KIND WORDS FOR FIELD, who, in the_electoral commission, fought most bitterly for tho rights of claimed by Fields Tilden. It fis friends that_the reports in regard to the California and Oregon conventions have been unfair and uatruthful. In Oregon the conveution was largely in favor of Ficld, During its delibera- tions a member moved to instruct delegates for him, whereupon another member moved to instruct for Tilden. Then, in order t» preserve harmony, 8 motion was carried to lay both mo- tions upon_the table. Immediately after this the convenion chose almost, unavimously Field delegates-at-larga. Thus the convention was controlled by the Fieldmen in_his interest, and in response to the wishes of the party in the State. In Californiy a majority of the conventlon, as well a3 & ma- jority of the people were for Field ; but, as o matter of policy, it was determiined beforehand not to iustruct delegates. A blunder In the proceed- ings of the convention made it appear in opposition to him, but still nine, and perhaps ten, of the twelve deler gates are known'to be for Field, and were elected because of that fact. Of course ‘the Ohio delegates will st first vote according to thelr in- struotions, for Thurman, ynless he should decline to be a candidate, ‘which he will not do, unless he the chances arc hopelessly agains him, . Where his forty-four votes wil &h the event of its appearing use- to hold out for him, can hardly be predicted. - ¢ SEYMOUR AND HENDRICKS, Onething was very uokiceable to- ay, not only among the few Ohio d but around hotels, and in the streets, and among newspaper men, and that s a ticket whieh shall read . “Seymour snd Hendricks.” and the repeated inquiry as to what one thinks of it for strength, 80 con. stantly is it put vhat it seems more like the resalt of a prearranged plan, or the echoing of another’s idess, than the spontaneous and earnest focling of the speaker, Thero are those of Tilden's friends, however, who assert that sneh s ticket is impoesible, bee Tor prege wxars, June 18.—The only him. PAYNE'S BOOM. The movement in favor of nominat- ing Congressman H. B. P Ohlo, received guite an impetut from the arrival heze of Mr. son-in-law, Mr. Whitney, This o tleman has been sccounted & Tilden man hitherto, and is reported to have said very recently that be was for Til- den firat and last. Now, however, he is actively at work to secure the nomi- nation of Payne, whose forces tem already to be better organized than those of any other candidate excapt Field. Some iufer from Whitney's sudden change of position that he knows that Tilden is not to ba a can- didate, and hss left the Tilden ranks and is now working for Psyne wi'h Tilden’s full knowledge. DAVID DAVIS LEFT. The boom for Senator David Davis does not appear to have reached Cla- cionati yet. It may be different after the Illinoit delufnb s arrive, but »s yet none ate telking of the distin- guished independent senator from Iili- nois. BAYARD'S UNCONCERN. Bayard is not mentioned in the conversations of the politicians, He will doubtless have plenty of ad- mirers s soon as _the south ern delegat:a arrive, but hes not autherized anybody to boom for him, and wi'l not have any neaiquarte.a here if it depends cn him to open them. Nevertheless, B yard is consider.d by some of the sstutost politicians here es the very probable nominee of the convention. His chance li-s in the. fact that he would be ecceptsble to ne:rly all-the delegate-, and is the second choice of very many.

Fpecial Dispatch to The Bee. New York, June 18, 1a. m.—Gov. Ches. Foster, of Ohio, 'n an interview here yesterday, said Garfield and Ar- thur can certainly carry every north- ern state ; that respecting the south's 138 electoral voles, if they.are neces. sary to insure democratic success, they will_be countcd for the democratio candidato, although five of the states aro honostly republican, and will bs 80 counted if those who count know the democrats are beaten anyway. He believes that all the contervative vote will go to Garfield, and that attacks on his character are so much buined powder. A THIRD TICKET. John Kelle, in sn Intorview yes- terday just before starting for Cincin- nati, said he thought the contesting Tammany delegation weuld be admit- ted to the convention. He did mot think thatTi'den would be nominated, and if he wes Tammany could not support him, and a third ticket would probably be put in the field. Tam- many had no preference, but was un- alterably opposed to Tilden. KEARNEY STABS GREENBACKERS. Dennis Keatney, in an_interview, says: “I have just come from an in- dustrial conyention of voting cattle at Chicagc—greenbackers, they are called, —waere I entored my_protest ainst the lecherous, bondholding ve-drivers, who are grinding suffer- ing humanity into the gutter. 1 am engaged in inventing a wheel to_turn the world upside down, It has a double back action. I don’t know how it will work yet. It will cut off| the necks of political cut-throats, the corrupt judges and the iling, bribe-taking pack of hounds—the newspaper proprietors who prostitute tho press to subserve their most dam- nable purposes. We will eloct Weaver and foreser cut both hands that now hang above the producing classes of the best government the sun ever shone upon. Why, the sleuth-hounds! They are both dec 1, and their race is almost run. WE WILL CAREY Maine, California, Alabama and Mis- sissippl, and perhaps Texas. This will throw the vote into the house.” ““What do I thiok of the reptblican candidutes! Why, there, Garfield is a bribe-taker, and a cesspool of Tar- taric acid thrown ia to boot. I could not think of & worse object than Chester A. Arthur,who hss no follow- ing but a pack of pap-suckers, who want choking with a halter.” SAMMY'S BULOGY. ‘‘Tilden, the old thief, was the starter of all this talk about himself, and stands the best show at Cincin- nati. The devil ought to take him where he belongs. Theyare all dead. They represent the monopolists, who have throttled the laboring man until has to beseech them to be allowed to touch the hem of their princely garments.

L, Juno 18, 1a. m. —Probably the city of Providence never eaw 80 many peole within its limits as gathered cn the banks of the Seekonk river yesterday. The num- ber is variously estimated at from 40,000 to 160,C00. They came by zail, boat, sil-boat, barge, steamer and every mode of conveyaace. It was a peaceable crowd, all intent on_seeiog the great race, but the proportion that had any definite idea of who started, rowed or finished, was remarkabl, small, a8 the river was crowded wit crafts of all description, whosa occu- pants thought the best poaition for ob- serving the race wes between the geand stands, of which there wers a dozen or more, and the ccurss. The press facilities were poor, also, for the reason of the inefficient, or rather utter want of, policing of the course. This trouble, and the tardiness of Mayor Doyle in putting in aa appear- ance, delayed the start o THE AMATEUE RACE. The men were called at & few min- er 4 p. m., and seven respond- : Holmes, of Pawiucket, R. L, Murray, of Portsmoutb, Va.; Gaisel, of New York; Laing, of Montrea'; Buckley, of Portland; Hayden, of Boston; Murphy, of Norwich, Conn. Thoe men were kept in line waiting, 11 4:20, when theywot away at the firing of a pistol, Holmos nearest the Providence shore, then Gaiel, Laiog, | ¥ Buckley, Hayden, Murphy and Mur- ray, in the order given. Hayden got thebest of tke start, with Murphy next end Holmes next, the others straggling out behind. Murphy soon overbauled Hayden, and cut out his work, bt his stroke wes uneven and the pace too fast for him, as wessoon seen when Holmes put on speed and passed the leader and went ahead Dpace that showed early in the struggle that he was HEEO OF THEM ALL. * As for Murphy, he was out of the race, being far in the rear of them all. Meanwhile Laing, Buckley and Gaisel wero having a lively stroggle among themselves, which resulted in favor of Gaisel, who made a noble effort to spurt himself alopgaide the Pawtucket sculler, but the latter was too strong for him. He allowed the New York man to approach within a safe distance, nearly abreast of him, but Gaisel spurted also, and a race was the result. At the turn of the one ileand a half boat Holmes led Galsel several lengths ashe turned, and got square away for home before Gaisel turncd. He had the race won then, and rowed to with- ins mile of home well. Notwitbstand- ing this, Gaisel still rowed at smatt peco, and succseded in catting down Holmes lead of 10 lengths to sbont 312 yards, and in this order the two finished, Holmes' time being 22 minutes and’ 44 soconds, Gaiscl's 22 minutes and 58 scconds. Loing took the third position, time 25 min- utes 10 seconds; Buckloy, 23 minutes 36 seconds, and Haydeo, 23 minutes 48 seconds. Murray came home with the others snd was announced as fourth, but as he did not tuin the |falsly on their way home, Riley by extra exertions mansged to shake Plaisted and wasaways dozen lengths at the mile stake, haying pa-sed Hanlan and_securely settled down to second place, which he gained withe out much farther efforc, pessing the stake beat in 30 minutes 31 seconds. After Plaisted came Ten Eyck and then Gaudier, Lee and Delano, Boyd and Dempsey giving up the race be- fore re:shing the turn. As Ross had it all his own way on the home stretch so did Riley as second man and Teneyck a3 third mav, having passed over the course in third in 30 mioutcs, 58 seconds five or six lengths ahead of Mr. §Gaudur, = who ished s langth .ahead ‘of Plalsted, whose beat was half full of water. The crafts on the river are crowded over the finish and shut off the view frow the vast crowd of spectators on shore, the great race was finished. FOREIGN EVENTS. HONORS TO BAIRD.

Another long wait followed when the pmlmmfi were in line, Finally o start was made at5:29. Plaisted fairly jumped his frail craft to the front and Ross was close at his hecls, while over on the Fast Providence side Hanlan and Boyd were seen al- most together. The Intter kept time for about sixty strokee, when the lat- ter ehot away ahead of the Britisher and began to creep up to Plaisted, who was the leader, and right nobly was ke cutting out a pace.
