On the other hand, well in formed persona here affirm that Ayool is not nearly #0 cooped up as repre- | sented, and give as reasons for this | opinion, first, that Ayoob’s forces | haye had copstant woccessions ever since his retirement from before Candahar; second, that neither Gen erals Roberts nor Phayre srein con- dition to offer battle until their troops recover from the effects of a long and ing march, and third, t Ayoob has no reason to appiehend in- * terference from the ameer, because the evacustion of Cabul by Gen. Stew- art bas left Abdur Rahman wholly without British backing in the midst of a disaffected population. The story that Ayoob wrote apologetic lot- ters to Gen. Roberts, saying that he ' was foreed to fight by his followers, and expressing his regret for haviug iovaded the Candahar district, is re- | vested by the viceroy.

Correspondeace of the Bee. Lixcoy, Neb., September 2,— At 2 o'clock every ticket for seats at the convention was exhausted, and at 3 the opera house from pit to gal- lery was crowded with the largest throng that ever met at a Nebraska state convention, THE MEN, It cannot be questioned that the convention represents throughout great ability, snap and go-ahead. Eastern men wonder how a state so new ¢ Nobraska has such & body of representative men, as it requires time, experlence and culture to pro- duce leaders. Tho secret is that the settlers of a young state are made up of the active, enterprising men of brains and daring, and they step at once to the front. Most of this pres- ent body are men in their prime. There are a few gray heads, but gen- erally the old folks and the old fogies have staid behind. Comparing this assembly with the one that met in this same place four years ago, it is much larger, but presents pretty much the same features At 4 o'clock J. W. Dawes called the convention to order. Hon. Chas. A. Holmes, of Johnson county, was chosen temporary chair- man. The Garfield glee club, of Omaha, then sang ‘‘Red, White and Blue,” under the waving of the Stars and Stripes, Arthur Gibson, of Dodge, and A. E. Cady, of Colfax, were chosen secre - taries. Toe ofticers were afterward ‘made permanent. The membership was fixed by direct action on the report of the chairman of the state central committee, saving much time, Nance county presented a double header. Both delegations were ad- mitted finally, each to cast half the vote. p. m., immediately after the convention was permanently orgsn- ized, a resolution was irtroduced and adopted that a committes of fifteen be appointed on resolutions. At this juncture a move was mads that brought out the temper of the conven'iom ard £ rced a divieion amorg its elements, Mer. Calkins, of Buffslo, moved an adjournment ts 9 a. m. Thursday. He calied a“tention to the fact that tie chair was about to appoint & commit- tee to frame a platform fur the par.y, and he thuogh: the commitiee ought to have ampie time for this work.

Mr. Post, of Platte, ably and forei. bly argued 'in favor of adopting the platforn and piaciug candi ‘ates upon it. He thougnt it & disgrace 10 the republicans of Nebraska that this was the only state where men were ex-lted above principles. The previous question was ordered. A great flurter and much exci'ement was manifested among the candidstes and the backers of the siate. It was evident that adjournment would smash the slate. A vote by counties was called and the result was ac- nounced as 171 for the resolation aud 184 againat it. The state was saved. A motion was then carried to ad- journ to 8 p. m. The chair announced the follow committee on resolutic E. Brown, Lancaster; Edward Whit- comb, Saline; E. E. Calkins, Buffalo; J. T. Davis, Wasbington; H. 8 Ka- ley, Webster; J. Newbauer, Chey enne; L S. Hascall, Dougl. 3 Pinknoy, Harle= 13 , Thummell, Hall; A. M. Post, Platte. In the evening the opera house was crowded to its utmost. After the OUmaha Glee Club had entertained the audience the convention proceeded at once to nominations. Thurston, Collins and Laird were nowivated as presidential electors, Valentina as congrossman, Thos. Ma- jors as contingent congressman, and the present state ticket by acclama- tion, until the name of Leidtke, au- ditor, was reached, when the follow- ing changes were made: For Auditor—John Wallichs, of Hall county. For Superintendent of Public Tn- struction—W. W. Jones, of Lancas- ter coanty. For Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings—A. G. Kendall, of Howard county. The convention then elected the state central committes, Jas. W. Dawes being continued as chairman. At2:30a. m. the convention took a recess to 9. During the evening the convention was disturbed by a sort of bomb-shell MoAlliste-, of Platte, moved to nomi- nato a United States Senator, backing up his motton by sundry whereases. On moiion to lay on the tablea call of counties was asked for, and the mo- tion was tabled by 95 votes against 77. AN EPISODE. Thursday moruing while the con- vention was waiting for the committee on resolutions, Mr. Clark, of Nance, was loudly called for, who came for ward and made a mick hervic speech i imitation of several who presented candidales to the convention. Clark did the business to perfection and nominated James A. Garfield as presi- dent of the Uni‘ed States. He brought down the house in uproarous applause. The committee on resolutions brought in their report at 10 o'clock a.m. The report contained a plat- form commendably brief, and a reso- lurion of protest against railroad abuses. As soon as they wers offered, Judge Tharston, in a few approving remarks, moved their acceptance and adoption, which motion, without remark or dis- cussion, prevailed At once » motion to adjoarn with- out & day was made, and before you could count ten the Nebraska republi- can state conventic n had vanished.
