- "OMAHA DAy BEE THIRTEENTH YEAR. 'DEMOC'S LOVE FEAST. The Convention at Buffalo Too Sweetly Harmonions for Republi- can Hopes. The Delegates Lovingly Embrace and Shout for Sammy, John and Grover. The Glorious Deeds of the Latter Recounted and Gushingly Commended. The Republicans of Maryland View | With Envious Eyes the Bour- bon Grip of Power, New York Democracy.} Burraro, September 27,—The Demo- eratic state convention opened at noon. Delegates took cheir seats in a very orderly manner. As Kelly entcred the hall he was cheered by Tammany and Irving hall delegations in the gallery. Deleyates arrived in a body,no preference being shown to any distinct body in ad- mittance. It was a noticeable fact that John Kelly was the only delegate cheered on entering the hall. Daniel Manning, chairman of the state committee, called the convention to order, and presented the name of Alfred C. Chapin, of Kings, as temporary chasrman. Chapin epoke briefly. = His remarks were only interrupted when the name of Gov- ernor Cleveland was mentioned. Then the delegates applauded. Tammany and Irving hall men, however, remained silent. In the roll call, when the name of Samuel J. Tilden was read, the con- vention greeted it with long continued applause. Francis Lynch, a Stetson county delegato, presented a protest on behalt of thirty-four county democracy delegates against the admission of Tam- many representation. Protest re- ferred to committee on contested seats when appointed. Senator Grady arose when his name was called and gave notice that Tammany delegates whose names were excluded from the roll would present a protest against the admission of county Democracy dele- tes. Ex-Justice Callahan, Irving Hall elegate, said he desired to present a rotest against the admission of Francis Y;yndu and 37 others, and Thomas F. Grady and 23 others, as delegates. These were also referred. When the name of John Kelly was called tha con- vention applauded loud and long. Tn response ‘0 a call of an enthusiastic dele- gate three cheers were given with a will for Kelly. The county Democracy rep- resentatives remained silent. At the conclusion of the rcll call the committee on contested seats were chosen. John T. Henry read a communication from the Anti-Monopoly league, asking the convention to reaffirm the principles in last years' platform, in reference to placing some restrictive powers on the rasping corporations. H. Franey, on gehllf of the workingmen, offered reso- lutions, the first asking for the abolition of the contract system in penal institu- tions, to secure for children the benefits &f.fvcu schools, by prohibiting employ- ment in factories and workshops persons under 14 years of age, and the establish- ment of a State buveau of printing. The resolutions were all referred. Recess. Upon reassembling a resolution was carried distributing the seats in the con- vention to which the county of New York is entitled as follows: County de- mocracy 38, Tammany Hall 24, Irving Hall 10. Thomas C. Benedict, of Ulster county, was chosen permanent chairman, THE PLATFORM, The resolutions following were adopted | unanimously: The democracy of New York reathems the platform adopted at its last state convention, which has re- ceived the approval of the people, as shown by a wmajority of nearly 200,000 at the last election, and they especially denounce the proposition” that the people should be taxed to raise a sur- plus fund for the federal government to distribute among state We caim with prde and saui ledge thercin made has been in good faith redcemed Valuable reforms have been wrought; uscless oflices have been abolished; the civil service has been freed from the debasing and injurious in- fluences of partisan manipulation; the treedom and purity of primaries has been secured; political assessments have been abolished; receivership abuses have been corrected; the punciple of local self government has been adhered to; the efficiency of the National guard has been increased, a taxation for tho sup- port of the govermnent hasbeen reduced; a State bureau of labor statistics has been established; the right of working men have been further protected and the injurious competition of convict labor has been curtailed and business methods made the rule in the management of State affairs. On the record thus made and to which it will steadfastly adhere, the Democratic party ashs a renewal of the confidence ofthe peoplo. We invite with reason all friends of improved State administration, irre- #pective of party, to join with the De- mocracy in preservipg and perfecting the reforms in picuress and i exte thew to all broiches of the State ¢ | We heartily endorse Governor Cleve- dand’s admiuistration, Lo justifies the great vote which elected him and he has deservedly won the afivetion of the by his industry, firmness and intelli and ossive honesty, The results administration the best the State ever lad., Tsaac H.

The Butler ket BostoN, September 27.—It is roported that a cable dispatch has been received by the Democratic comniittee from J. O. Prince, positively rofusing the nomina- tion for Lieutenant Governor. The chair- man of the Democratic executive com- mitteo denies the report of Mr. Prince's declination. The Globe (Dem.) says Mr. Prince has not withdrawn, while The Post (Dem.) editorially accepts the re- port as true. Prince's son says it is highly improbable that his father will ac- copt the nomination, cn account of Mrs. Prince's health, for which the ex-mayor | is now abroad. R S VILLARD'S DANGER. Stockholders of the Northern Pacific Dissatisfled with the Presi- dent's Management. Chicago Tribune Special. Putuaperenia, Pa., September 27.— The great attack on the Northern Pacifics has lasted a week and resulted in a feurful depreciationof all the properties which are known in Wall street as **Viilards.” The exact state of affairs has been a mystery to the street. The largest private investors in the stock reside in this city. These large stockholders have given President Villard full rein for two years or more. He has been a most expensive president. The capitalists who are interested in Northern Pacitic and the corporations identical with it on the Pacitic coast complain that his management of the road has been needlessly extravagant, and they make four points against him: 1. Hehas wasted money in rushing the road to completion so rapidly. Getting out of the reach of Congressional legisla- tion in vegard to land grants might have beena good thing, but while he was do- ing it Mr. Villard got into tho way of a Congressional investigation and spent a great deal of money. 2. The constructiun of branches, at a high cost of rental to the Northern Paci- fic, along the main line aud on the Paci- fic const. 3. Projecting terminal facilitios at Portland which, it is said, will cost $6,000,000, if Mr. Villard's ideas are car- ried out. 4. The want of judgment in the selec- tion of inferior subordinates. The road needs sadly the ablest of railroad mana- gers at both ends of the line. The policy which has been followed by Mr. Villard has created a floating debt of 10,000,000 to $12,000,000. It is held .that. prudent minagement would have everted any such weight on the company. There has been some consul- tation among the ‘principal stockholders who control the board of directors, and a plan of action has virtually been agreed on. The man who is elected president of the road must be one who can make money rather than spend it. If Mr. Villard will pledge himself to thorough reform in the matter of spending money, if he can satisfy his backers that in the future the road will be run in the interest | of the stockholders and in accordance | with those rules of economy which govern successful corporate enterpr and if he will allow the board of direct: to know the details of expenditure he doubtless will be re-elected president. | 1f not he will not be chosen the head of | the road. An interesting question xow is how Mr. Villard will meet the important and vital issue which threatens to end his carcer. Herctofore his will and word have elected president. There willbe notrouble about providing for the deficiency in money. There is full confidence in the earning capacity of the road. The board of directors will do one of two things: Issue a second mortgage, or haps less, to run for 20 years, payable at any time after 10 years. Tho Oregon Transcontinental will have nothing to do with the placing of the loan. If the floating defitis funded, the entire bonded indebtedness of the road will be less than £35,000 per mile. e The Maryville Reunion. Kansas Crry, September 27.—The Journal's Maryville (Mo.) special says: The attendance at the third and last duy of the soldiers’ reunion of southwest Towa and northwest Missouri was 15,000 | t0 20,000, At a business meeting in the morning officdrs were elected for the en- saing year, and Creston, lowa, chosen ns tho plico of meoting vext year. The | propriety of ting a sham Dbattle at | future reunions was dircussed and it was | the sense of the mevting that they be discontinued. The exercises to-day were | uniformly successful tle passed without accident plus revenue from the present meeting | 15 84,000, to be devoted to a purse for | the benefit of the family of John Small, the veteran accidontally killed yesterday. | i The Catholic Benevolent Union, ProvipEnce, September 27, — The Catholic Benevolent Union of the United States re-elected A, M.

The Expedition for the Bodies of the Jeannette Victims I Heard From, | Preparations Commenced for the De- | cember Opening —Pensions Asked !‘ for Rebel Soldie Collection of Tten CAPITAL NOTES, BUTTLEN W ASHINGTON, .—Com- September missioner of Internal Revenue Evans has written a letter to the attorney for the Weiss beor manufacturers, in reply to a brief filed some days ago by the latter, urging reconsideration of the comm sioners’ decision in regard to bottling weiss boer from stamped packages, de- clining to reopen the question, and reaf- firmiing his former decision. He says, after careful examination of the argument submitted, he has reashed the conclusion that weiss beer 1s unquestionably a fer- mented liquor, and, as such, comes with- in the scope of statute relating to removal of fermented liquors from stamped pack- ages. RESIGNED, The resignation of Judge Ray, chief of the division of postal laws and regula- tions of the postoffice department, has been tendered the Postmaster General, and will probably be accepted. The Poatmaster Genoral has the highest re- spect and estéem for Judge Ray, and their relations remains perfectly friendly. THE JEANNETTE VICTIMS, [t is expected at tho navy department that Lieut. Harbor, who was sent to Siberia to assist in the Jeannette search and who was afterwards ordered to bring to America the bodies of Lieut. DeLong, Dr. Ambler and Jerome Collins, will leave Irkutsk about the 1st of November next and will reach the United States with the bodies sometime in January. PENSIONS FOR REBEL SOLDIERS, The application of rebel soldiers for pensions, and the collection of a fee for prosecuting such claims by a pension agent, would seem to ‘be the height of absurdity or the worst of swihdles. Yet such cases are actually buing investigated by Commissioner Dudley. The agent implicated in this transaction is N. W. Fitzgerald, of this city, of whom so much has been written, that his disbar- ment from practice beforo the pension bureau is a certainty, unless he with- draws voluntarily, while he has a chance. Colonel Dudley will make a call upon Fitzgerald for an explanation this week, | although the evidence now before him is apparently convincing, the application for pension stating plainly that the sol- dier was in the confederate army.: Fitz- gerald sold his fine residence property during the past week to Colonel R. G. Ingersoll, and other picces of real estate owned by him are reported to be for sale. These preparations indicate uis re- tirement from business, and it is under- stood he intends to leave for Europe this fall. PUTTING POSTAL CLERKS UNDER BOND, Postmaster Conger, of Washington, having established a rule requiring all employes in his office to furnish a Lond, much complaint has been caused thereby. Mr. Congersays that 75 per cent of the clerks in tho office were engaged at times in handling matter that would enable ng to the post- master, if 1ot cause him considerablo pe- cuniary loss. “Thiere can be no objection that T can aid Mr. Conger,” *'to a postiaster bonds from cvery clerk in his desires to. I found that not a rkin the registry division w. lions of dollars in_the te are han- dled yearly, and that even in th order division some of the cle not under bond. I am bonded for largo sum and I have & right, I think, to exact some guuranteo from the employes in the oflico.” E IMENTAL UNDERGROUND WIRES, Permission has been granted for tho laying of an expeimental underground telophone and telegraph cable, from the War Department through to the Whito House, Treasury and Capitol, All the wires now running into the Capitol have been underground for years, and work well. Permission to put poles in the Capitol grounds has always been refuscd, MAKING CONGRESSMEN COMFORTABLE, The six large boilers on the House side of the capitol used for heating purposes, are being repaired, and will be tested thoroughly next week. Extensive re- are also being made on the Senate ng and ventilating apparatus. An of fresh air will be given this winter, ain Senators having com- plained of a want of proper ventilation, ESTIMATING EXPENSES FOR NEXT YEAR, The preparation of estimates for the expenses of the coming fiscal year is now upying the attention of Secretary Peller aud nearly all the bureau ofiic inthe other départments ave similaly «, and will bo so until about the | Ociober, when the vesult of their labors will be submitted.

There appears to be some truth in the report. At any rate, it is certain that Parnell is wounded. Tt is stated a bullet weut through his body. Another account says the atfair was acei- dental. No further details have been re- ceived. A dispatch from Dungannon, County Tyrone, states that a covered car con- taining, it is supposed, Parnell, was fired into, but the occupant was not injured. This probably up\ain- the rumor of Par- nell being shot. DunaanNoN, September 27.—Healy, 0O'Connor and O'Brien, members of Par- lisment, succeeded in speaking here to- day.

It was denied that Gaunett had resigned, but-the Douglas county men, generally understanding that Mr. Gannett would serve no longer, insisted by resolutiom that in case the resignation of Mr. Gan= nett should ba received by the Governor, that M. Siduey E. Locke be appointed in his place. In the Second Congressional District M. 8. Hull of Clay county, J. M. Hiatt of Harlan, William Snell of Jefferson, Ed. Mclntyre of Seward and M. B, C. True of Saline were brought forward. Hull receiving the highest number of votes was nominated to the long term and Hiatt to the short term. In the Third district E. P. Holmes of Pierce, W. L. Bowman of Stanton, J. T. Mal- lilieu of Buffalo, W. Love of Dodge, J. F. Merritt of Antclope, W. A. M Allister of Plate and D, W. Randolph of Nance were proposed, and Mallilieu was nominated to the long term wnd Holmes to the short term Mr. Mallilieu is superintendent of schools in Buffalo county and a very ergetic man. Ed.

Only eighteen months ago Col. Dudley prophesied that he would - eed $160,000,- 000 for pensions for what is now the cur- rent fiscal year. This stalwart estimate shocked oven Congress, but that body prepaved to meet tho drain. It was promptly argued, however, that in the faco of such enovmous expenditures o considerable reduction could be mado in taxation, But upon second sober theught Col. Dudley kuocked ofi® the trifling suin of #50,000,000, and told Congress hie be- lieved ho could got a long with a round hundred willions. Congress again took him at Lis word, and gave him what he whed skd, It now looks, however, as if he had once more overestimated the pension issuing capacity of his ¢ b, It is doubt- ful if thoe burean can spend this year more than , 000,000, Last year it disbursed ouly 569,000,000, and the Commissioner ho is now well up in work, and hus to wait upon the mails to find employ- ment for his clerks. — In fact, he says he does not need all the new force given him, and will ask Congress to cut down hin force by 260 names, ‘ho immense importance of this change of views on Col. Dudley's part is apparent. The large disbursements of the Pension Bureau was the chief argument for retain- ing high taxation, but now it is seen that the Treasury is to be called on to pay out §75.000,000 less this year than was origmally caloulated, and $25,000,000 less than was counted upon when the tariff and internal revenue reforms were under discussion. Hence it is probable that the surplus revenue will be very large if other conditions are favorable, and the old question will recur, what is to be done with the surplusi ports so adjusted as to favor and protect do- mestic industrics, and_encourage hnmigration to our shores of luborers to perform the serv- ices' wo need onour own soil, paying tribute w our own Goverument, rather than the im- portation of the products of labor that is trib- utary to a foreign and perhaps hostile Gov- ernment. 3.
