LiNcorN, September 26.—The fight against Lake waxes warmer, and as the different delogates come in the strength of the different candidates begins to show up. Warren, of Nebraska City. is in the lead. Even the Douglas county delega- tion is understood to be broken up, and they will hold a meeting at tive o’clock to cement themselves together to make some sort of a bold front. If they can present Love’s name gracefully they will do 8o, but have no intention of waging a bitter fight for him. His friends expect him to start in with about forty votes and gmdunlly draw over the strength of the others until nominated. Speaker Humphreys has come into the field since morning,and bringlu\tlw Pawneo men with him. How- ard Kennedy is not considered as the candidate of Douglas, but they expect to introduce Sidney E. Locke for regent. He is a new man to this part of the coun'ry, but the intention of the country delegates is that whatever Omaha wants for regent she shall have, if they can only get a break on the Supreme Judge. ~Charles Holmes has consented to stand again. The convention of the Fourth Judicial District has just been called to order, and itis expected that Judge Pound will be re-nominated by acclammatien. Tho Douglas county delegation in the state convention will be Long, Hascall, Carlton Lake, Straight, Stenberg, Timme, Hall, Anderson, Sahler, Bechel, Burnham and roxics [ Hawes for David Reed, ye for Barber, Chase for Redman and Groff for Knight ~ There were two con- tested seats, Cadman and Yediker con- test from Franklin, and Brooks and San- tee from Knox. There will be a strong effort to elect Regents at large, instead of from Con- gressional districts, as proposed. What- ever Omaha wants will be allowed her, and Kennedy is looked upon as the proper man for Gannett's vlace. Regent Merritt, Gad Slaugh- ter, Mclntyre of Seward, Judge Hewitt of Hastings, Burton of Orleans, Ed. Holmes of Wayne, J.. W. TLove« iof Fremont, of Crete, Rich, cf Brownville, Kincaid, of Holt, Mallilieu, of Kearney, McAlli ter, of Columbus, are ail candidates and most of them are here. THE CONVENTION, Special Dispatch to THE Bk, LiNcors, September 26.—The state convention, composed of 357 members, commenced work at the opera house this evening by electing Church Howe chair- man over C. S. Chase, and W. H. Mitch- ell, secretary. Messrs Geore, Watson, Weaver, Shedd, Scott, Nye, Dolan and Cole were made on platform. From the start it was evident that the fight on Supreme Judge would be lengthy and complicated, E. F. of Nebraska City, I. G, of Kearney, M. B. Rees of Wahoo, U. K. Griggs, of Beatrice, Capt. Humphrey of Pawnee and George B. Lake of Omaha, were nominated. Col. Chase proposed Judge Lake's name, but on consideration it was withdrawn by Hascall, who said the position was not sought for by the Judge and he would not consent to run unless it come unani- mously, " and seeing the oppusition that had sprung up the Douglas county delegation would cast their for other candidates. Nevertheless on the first ballot, Lake had 22 votes from Cedar, Dakota, Dixon, Hall, Sarpy and Seward counties, Homer had 97, Rees 83, Warren 79, Griggs 34, Humphrey 29, and Sam Chapuman getting the 13 votes of Cass. Douglass gave 10 to Warren and 6 for Homer. All the counties were split up in the same manner. The voting commenced at 8 o'clack, and up to 11 no result had been attained, eight ballots having taken, Valentine, a committee Warren, Homer, otes been ‘hapman and Humphrey dropped Lake fell to 2, and CGriggs to 11, his owp county. It settled down to Warren, Homer and Rees, when the break came on the ninth bLallot, Dodge, Douglas, Hall, seven of Lancas Washington aud Cass going to Lake amid constant cheers, out, Then the counties commenced to change their votes to Rees—Seward, Buffalo, Lancaster, Dodge, Madison and others—until it was clearly evident that Rees was the man, when on motion of Douglas, seconded by Lancaster, he wos declared the unanimous choice and called upon to spedk amid yells and shouts that shook the roof, Milton J. Hull, of Clay, and Jesse M. Hiatt, of Harlan, were nominated Regents for the 8ccond district; J. T Mallahen, of Buffalo, and Ed. Holmes, of Pierce, from the Third district. G, W. E.

I« livils of the Day and the Rem- edies. ~ NEw York, September 26.-—Jay, Me- dill, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, was & witness to-day before the U. 8. Senate sub-committee on education and labor. He said that he had been con- nected with the press since 1848. The chief cause of tho impecunious condition of the masses of laborers of this country, he attributed to their own improvidence. The only way to improve them was to teach them to save. Too much of the carnings of the laborer is apent in liquor and tobacco. It has been calculated that tho amount annually spent by the laboring population in drink was £400,- 000,000, and at least 200,000,000 more was spent in cigars, tobacco and useless amusement. The high license and high rents of saloons would do much toward lessening the evil. Witness said he had very little faith in political prohi- bision. gnhealthy tenement houses should be torn down. The present tariff’ was fleecing farmers, and they were be- ginning to understand it. Co-operation could not be successfully carried out un- der the present condition. It could only be possible when the co-opera- tors were better educated, as co-operation required a high degreo of intelligence. What the country wanted was more me- chanics Industrial schools sheuld be es-, tablished in every large city where edu- cation in technical arts could be obtained. In_spenking of the railroad question, Medill said some meansshould be adopted for securing uniformity of rates. Rail- roads should not be permitted to oxer- cise the power of arbitrarily changing the value of all products of the country. Both State and Federal legislation should be employed to remedy this ovil. Capitalization of many railronds was in excess of the cost of constructien of the roads and they were annually fleecing the people of the coun- try out ef millions of dollars in profits. e —— TALK IS SHEEP.

New York, Vermont, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, linois, Kansas, Minnesota, Texas, Colo- rado and West Virginia were represented.

Markham, of New York, as Secretary, nctwithstanding the fact that lie was on a ticket precented by objectors, Markham explained tha! there was no foundation for the inuendos as to his motives in connoction with tariff legisla- tion and after being elected by acclama- tion refused to accept the office. He was however, prevailed upen to withdraw his rvesignation till the afternoon session. When the body 1econvenea Markham again tendered his resignation of secretary, and after some further wrang- ling, Albert Chapman, of Vermont, was chosen. C. H. Bull, of West Virginia, was chosen treasurer, and J. P. Ray, of New York, A. Symmes, of Texas, and C. | Bronson, of Kansas, chosen executive committee.

Candler rose and addressed the pre ing ofticer, but was not recognized, and remained standing until Celonel Coveny tinished. As he ceased reading, N A, Plympton, ef Worcester, rose and ad- dressed the chair. Candler insisted on his right to be heard, but French decided that Plympton had the floor. This was greeted with hisses in several partsof the hall, and for a second there was quite a commotion, Plympton then moved that the officers of e State committeo be the temporary organization of the con- vention,. The motion was declared catried, but was doubted and an uproar ensued which was promptly checked b; French, who called on Rev. Mr. to offer prayer. At the conclu prayer, French addressed the convention. He spoke at some length on national af- fairs Ho reviewed the recentaddress of the Republican State convention, referred to the administration of Governor Butler in the highest terms, def g important. events that have occurred in the past year and predicted a great victory for the Democratic party throughout the country, French’s speech was gen- erously applauded. Various committees were announced. Thayer, of Worcester, moved the appointment ef a com nittes to nominate 156 members of the State Central committee. Thomas J. Gargan, of Boston, claimed he had the floor before Thayer, but French decided Thayer had the floor. [Cries of ‘‘shame. | After the motion was stated, the chair recog- nized Gargan, who said: ‘‘There exists in this convention & belief that the State commuttee desires to perpetuate itself. The action of the pmig'n ofticers thus far, has not been in accordance with the usage of Democratic conventions. Let us have a committee made by the con- vention, not by the committee itself.

This had been called But- ler's convention, but let it not be said that anybody but the convention itself runs this convention. Thayer, of Worcester, said he expected this outbreak, but those who favored it were in a minority and would be over- ruled. Power, of Springfield, was recognized by the chair, but Coffey insisted on being heard on a point of order. The chair would not listen to Coffey, and a scene of confusion followed. Quict having been restored to some extent, Power was allowed to speak and meved the pro- vious question. Gargain again got the floor, but the noise became so deafening he could no longer be heard. J. A. Mellen attempted to speak. Several delegates shook their fists at him. He rushed to the platform and demanded to be heard, but was seized by several and forced to take a seat. Thayer's motion was then ried. The committeo on permanent organization reported the name of Edwara Avery for permanent nan, J. W. Coveny, fer secretary. ° CFORM. The committe olutions reported ag follows: The Democrats of Massachu- setts, in convention assembled, entering upon the campaign with calm assurance that the people of the State will record a more glorious victory than that of 1882, is cause for congratulations, and the signs of coming triumph are everywher apparent. With a majority in the lower House of Congress, with Democratic Gov- ernors in 25 States, all we need is har- mony, and an_unbroken front in every section, to place in power that good old Democratie party, under which, for more than lalf a century, the country showed a degres of progress such a3 has never been equaled by any nation of the world. We reafliom tho platform of principles adopted by the last ional Democratic convention at Cin cinnati, and i that its adoption by the people will correct the manifold abuscs now existing in the administration of public affairs, and bring back the gov ernment to the purity and efticiency which terized it under Democratic rulers, We reallivm principles of the State platform of 1 which were in dorsed by the people of the common: wealth, ‘We beli y of the nation and the integ Btate; in equal rights, without the limitation of race or sex; in the inpartial free dom of the |ballot; in honest and economic expenditures in state and nation; in thorough reform of the civil service, in which fairness, not favor, shall regulate the sppointments; in tarifl limited in amount to a sum neces eary and adequate for revenue; abolition of excessive war taxes in these days of in still further reduction of ex travagant state cxpenditures.

During the reading of the resolutions Butler appeared, amid tumultuous cheer- ing, and addressed the convention. He recited at length the work of the last Liagialatuce of Maseachunotti, saylng tidy sat_longer than any other Legislature and accomplished less. He reviewed all his own acts as Gorernor and continued: The Republican papers say Gen, Butler must go, but he is satisfied to risk his chances of going to Heaven on this issue and willing to rest his case with right- feoling men and women of this Common- wealth, 1f the peoplo would show him a man who would honorably and energetic- ally carry on the work of reforming State institutions, diminishing taxes, standing up for the poor who have no other friond, and being always true to himself, to God and to the Commonwealth, he would step a[down and yield him room with moro pleasure than had ever attended any other act of his life. The committeo appointed to nominate the remainder of the state ticket reported as followa: Lieutenant Governor, Prince. « Secretary of State, Charles Marke, Treasurer and Roceiver-general, Cavily H., Tngalls, SAttorney general, John W.

Burraro, September 206.--The city is crowded with delegates and others hero to attend the Democratic convention which meets to-morrow. Irving Hall delegation is tho only ono missing. There is much speculation about the State ticket. It is said the slate is Isaac H. Maynard, of Delaware county, for Secretary of State; Robert A. Maxwell, ot Niagara for Treasurer; Alfred C. Cha- pin, of Kings, for Comptroller; Dennis O'Brien, of Watortown, for Attorney General, and J. D. Vanburen for State Engineer and Surveyor. The harmony of the convention is practically assured a8 there is a disposition among the coun- try delegates to treat the Tammany claim with consideration. The Tammany hall Democrats arrived after midnight, and made no demonstra- tion in going to their quarters. Onondaga county sends 3 contesting delegations. Music is expected from this quarter. It is conceded that the State administration (Clevaland party) has a majority of dele- gates, LittYu doubt is entertained of the admission of Tammany in part, with other New York delegates. It is bglieved Tammany will obtain 24 seats to the Now York county Democracy's 38, and Irving hall's.10. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS, ATORM IN LIMBRICK.

TOO MUCH MOUTH. The Colored L‘irnvenliu'n Develops a Cy- clong of Superfinons Breath and Bancombe, More Minstrelsy Crowded Inte Leiderkranz Than Louisville Ever Witnessed. The Convention Narrowly Escape s Bplit—No Practical Results Expecte Louvisviug, September 26.—The only point of importance in the colored cone vention this morning was the resolution by W.S. Wilson, of Lowisiana, endorsing the administration of President Arthur, This raised great stiv and much oratory which was only quieted when L. D. Her- bert, of Louisiana, moved to refer it to the committee on resolutions, which was adopted. Nothing yet accomplished. e colored convention is given over to resolutions and buncombe. After a dozen attempta to resolve as many senti- menta this morning, the following was offered: Wuereas, The administration of Presi- dent C. A. Arthur is in harmony with the principles of the grand old Republi- can party; therefore, be it Resolved, That this national conven- tion of colored men assembled give to the administration their heartiest. support. This caused the wildest uproar and the convention was on its feet. The South and West opposed the resolution while only a few from the North and” East appeared in favor of it. The resolution, on motion of Her- bert, of Louisiana, went to the commit- on resolutions. No expression of pinion is yet reached and it seems une likely any will be, owing to the pro- pensity of the entire convention to talk at the same time, A strong feeling ex- ista to adopt Fred, Douglus' speech as the sentiment of the colored people of the nnion and have the same transmitted to Congress. A Kentucky delegate moved the following. which made a great uproar: Leesolved, That the colored people of the United States in convention assem- bled do affirm our devotion anew to the Republican party and will use our utmost endeavor for its continued ascend- ency and control of the National Govern- ment, believing it to be to the best inter- est of the whole people. The convention refused to adopt the resolution. Many protested againat bringing politics into the deliberations of the gorly, and only the wise decision of the chair, sending the question to the committee on resolutions saved the con- vention from a split. The convention this afternoon visited the exposition in & body, To-night a long list of speakers were named to address the convention, and actual business for the time is in abeyamce. The chances ar¢ for adjourn- ment without further actual result. The Overland Pool Perfected.
