Paul Vandervoort introducsd the following: Resolved, That this convention is cordially and earnestly in favor of any honest, just and itable method that will tend to wholly purify the primary elections of our party and prevent none but known republicans from voting. Vandervoort then proceeded to say that he had, until he c2me to Ne- braska, lived & virtuous and uprizht political iife, but during his resiGence hmie hi mitted that he had fallen from grace, and that when his side of tho house was numerically weak he had resurted to the prastice of voting democrats to carry the day. Ho siu cerely regretted the neccssity which compelled him to do this, and if he could get a majority to stand by him to insure victory without it, he prom- ised to be a goud boy and never do so any more. He spoke mot ouly for himself but for a majority of the whose sorrow and regret sity which compelied them a course fell upon none more heavily than the truly zeod Paul.

Mr. Grifin was loudly spplaude and was succeeded by Mr. Habercon of the Omaha Post, who endersed what he bad eaid. The German clement of the party had been wholly ignored. He had 1o desire to press any particular claims of the Germaus, but he claimed that clement had as much brains as any othor element of the republican party. The Germans did not propose to fizht honestly day and night and then beigmored by the party in the end. W mot say to our wavering follow Garmans, ““Come up and work for the party and your services will be properly recognized.” 1If this is sub- mitted to the German element will grow colder and this convention will be to blame for the result, 1 saw a gentleman here pull out a big roll of ets from his coat tail pocket and distribute them. Tdon't know how long he has been sitting on that tick- et. Thac ticket was drawn up and concocted by a clique. When 1 came here I found everything had been cat and dried, but T couldn’t find out just how it had been cut and dried. I hope this vote, if possible, will be re- considered, TOO LATE. Mr. John Rush said the protest came too late. The Germans were, however, repre- sented by that good“and true man, George Plumbeck. There was anoth- er element of the republican party which had not been specially recog- nized on the ticket (the Irish), but that element would not let their spleen overcome their judgment. Judge Thurston explained that it was he who brouzht the tickets in his coat tail pocket, but that representa- tives of all the delegations had been consulted in getting it up.

Considerable apprehension ia felt hers for the result of the conference, now in progress with the Ute chiefs, relative to the cession of their Color- ado laitds, etc. The government de- pended slmost enticely upon the influ- ence of Quray tosecure the sigaatures of all the chiefs to the agreement. Tt is found that, in_consequence of the death of Ouray, the efforts of the com- mission, now in the Ute country, will prove fraitless and the military will have to be ca'led upon to briog theIn- diaus to time. The precaution was taken some time ago to station a large forca of United States troops in and near the Ute country in order to be ready to act in case of emergency. There has been no [information re- ceived to warrant the belief that it will be necessary to use troops, but it is well known to the government that theinfluence of Ouray alome bhas se- cured peace up to the present time, end itis feared that his death will leaye the turbulent chiefs in control and that they will break up the con- ference and refuse to sign the sgree- ment made between the government and a few cof the more conservative chiefs. A fow days time will proba- bly settlo the question whether it isto be peace or war. DARING ROBBERY. Ex - Councilman Redman’s Store Robbed In Broad Daylight.
