" SAVAGE COT THERE! An Orerwhelming Evdorsement of Judge Savage. by the Auti-Mo- nopoly Convention. A B8pirited and Rather Personal Debate on the Merits of Candidates. The Firebrands of Buffalo and Pawnee Gently Hushed by the Chairman, A Largo and Eathusiastic Gather- ing, Nearly Every County Being Represented. Special Dispatch to Tn B Graxp Isuaxn, Neb., September 6.— The State Anti-Moiopoly convention as- . sembled at Liedorkranz hall at 10 o'clock this morning, after the adjournment of the State Farmers' alliance, The attend- ance was quite’ respoctable, nearly every county being represonted. The south- western counies and Platte valley had full delogations. The discussion was at once quite spirited, and some of the speechos earnest and cloquent. The convention was called to order by 8. P. Reynolds, of Hamilton county, prosident of the Anti-Monopoly league. J. M. Burrows, of Gage, was chosen temporary chairman andJ. S. Armstrong, of Boone, temporary secrotary. This or- ganization was subsequently made per- manent. The following committee on credentials were appointed: J. B. Alley, of Saline county. Q. Jones, of Nance. Kellar, of Adams, D. L. Bruen, of Platte. J. Whitm ire, of Gage. The following committee on permanent organization: Thomas Wilkinson, of Boone. Powars, of Hall, J. E. Miller, of Buffalo. The committee on credentials did not report until noon. During the interim rousing speeches were made by Messrs. Platt, Chamberlain, E. Rosewater, Sena- tor Reynolds, and ex-Governor Butler. On reassembling, at 1:30 p. m., the re- port of the committee on credentials was received, and, with some modifications, adopted. The following committee onresolutions was appointed: F. Doterall, of Dodge. E. Rosewater, of Douglas. F. Kollar, of Adams. G. Painter, of Boone. Hon, Moore, of York. N. C. Foley, of York. Hon. Wm. Dodd, of Howard. A motion was introduced to proceed to the nomination of Supreme Judge. Mr. Saville, of Buffalo, offered the following amendment: *No man shall be nominated by this convention, for any position who has not been identified with the anti-monopoly party, and who will not pledge himself to support the nominations of the con- vention. This was the signal for a most exciting and animated discussion. Judge Barndt, of Buffalo, protested that the mover of this resolution did not represent the anti- mouopolists of Buffalo county; that he had wormed himself into this convention in the interests of Mr. Hawes, whowould bo a candidate for supreme judge before tho republican convention. This was a move to choke off the indorsement of Judge Savage. Suville retorted with personal attacks, and was finally called to order by the chair. Ex-Gov. Butler made a frantic appeal in support of the reselution. Three or four delegates spoke agamnst it. They insisted that the main object of the anti- monopolists was better government. This they could not achieve by looking up to men who were committed to them already, s0 wo utilized Judge Savage, as Savage was an upright, high-minded man. If he was endorsed the republicans would be compelled to nominate a better man to avoid defeat. The republicans had put off their convention to the last min- ute and therefore the anti-monopolists cannot endorse their candidate even if they were acceptable. v After a protracted discussion the amendment was voted down: An infor- mal ballot resulted as follows: Savage. 5 & Crounse. . Butler. .. 5 i 4 A motion to make the nomination of Savage unanimous was opposed by Gov Butler. A formal ballot was ordered and resulted as follows: 9 Bavago. .. 170 Crounse. ... ..

A Reformer Advocates the Communal System of Gor New Yo, September 6,—The senato committee on labor and education re- sumed session to-day. John Senington took the stand and testified at consider- able length. He recommended a revival of the income tax as originally in force, establishment of a nationyl board of in- dustry empowered to collect statistics of every description and including power to enforce the eight hour law, establishment of effectual boards of health, education and public works, industrial schools and colleges on the French system, public control of railroads and telegraph on the Belgium system; freedom of patents, and postal banks under the British system; land laws which will prevent the holding by Xnuw individuals of great tracts of 1and; public ownership of cual, iron, gold and cther mines and all oil wells.

Gould replied he was not_in_position to give such an estimate.

Where have the people been benefitted? Is to bacco cheaper, or loss rates of interest in the banks. Medicines wre not reduced in price to the unfortunated consumer, and the little fellows who part their hair in the middle, have mot discovered any weakening in the price of perfumery, while the match manufacturers are wrestling with the problem whether the taxes formerly paid on matches shall not find its way into their capacious pockets. No reduction on clothing or blankets for your families, while that on lumber could not be reduced a farthing. 1t ve- quired all the efforts und votes of the re- formers in congress to prevent an increase on such iron and wire as enter into the manufacture of barbed wire for fences, and the proposed modification and re- duction have not benefitted the people a penny's worth, The great pretense is to protect Ameri- can labor, and protection is sugar-conted with this shadowy illusion, They stigma- tize foreign as pauper labor, and insist that the operatives who manufucture our goods should be fed from our produc: tions, Have we not by the liberal policy of other nations been feeding English and German operatives! Mark the resuit: the manufacturers dictate tariff rates to congress, such as will recompense them, and then with the same patriotic regard for self inteiest, they dictate the price of labor. When the American operators remon- strated at the reduction of pay, which barely provides subsistence for wife and children, these wealthy beneficaries of the nation’s bounty indignantly spurnthe cry, and suddenly loose all their horror Yo - [ of the pauper labor of Europe, and actu- ally import it under contract, and uso it not only to compete with, but actually starve and destroy American labor, and then ask you to forge and rivet the chains which bind American labor to their gi- gontic wealth, "Tis true now as when Burns wrote —'tis true now of the American, as well as tho Beotch and English Lord, “*Seo youder poor o'er labored wight, So abject, meun und vile, Who begs & brother of the earth 'l‘o‘rh'ehim leave to toil.

In our own state and others, are hun- dreds who confidingly trusting the gov ernment have been treated more villain- ously than the Ivish peasantry. Yot for these just claimants it will require more labor and anxiety to sccure a fair mea- ure of recompense than to obtain millions of acres for wealthy corporations. Corporate wealth becomes corporate power, strong enough to control congress, the departments, the executive and the inry. “*What then?” It is idle to talk of the sacredness of courts, when their decrees are repulsive to_the sentiments of common humanity.
