Judge Lonfourow and Jndge Lyman Paton the Repnblican Ticket Vith a Hurrah, A Struggle For District Attorney But Thornell Gets There, A Love Feast Wind.up, The republican convention of the judi- ciary district was held yestorday. The convention was called to order at 11 o'clock by T. R. Wallace, of Atlantic. B. F. Clayton, of Pottawattamie county, was olected temporary chairman, and J. A. Rhodes, of Green, temporary Secre- tary, The following were selected as commit- teo on credentials: J. A. Nash, of Au. dubon; J. E. Griffith, of Carroll; C. H. Scott, of Cass; Dr. Waterman, of Craw- ford; Nero Webster, of Fremont; M. Head, of Greene; L. C. Osborne, of Mills; J. B. Mattock, of Pottawattamie, and T, 1. H. Myerly, of Shelby. A committee was also chosen on per- manent organization, after which the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. On reassembling the committees re- ported. There were no contests in the delegations, and the temporary organiza- tion was made permanent in accordance with the recommendation of the com- mittee. Mr. Clayton made a brief talk in ac- cepting the chair. He said that the re- publican party was congratulating itself on the nominations made in Chicago, and was in goud humor with all mankind., It had been so busy ratifying this ticket of the people that it hadn't had time even to engage in the laudable business of abusing the democratic party. This con- vention should follow the example of the Chicago convention,and select candidates whom the people wanted, and act in good nature and with due wisdom. Mr. George Bowlen, of Cornwall, was selected assistant secretary. The business of the convention was proceeded with very speedily and with great harmony and enthusiasm. Judge Loofbourow was nominated by acclama- tion and unanimously as candidate for district judge. Judge Lyman’s name was then pre- sented to the convention for candidate for the circuit bench. His former law partner, Col, Sapp, in seconding the nomination, paid a glowing tribute to Judge Lyman’s character, his ability in the law, and his bravery asa soldier. Judge Lyman was, by an enthusiastic and unanimous vote, made the nominee. The nominating of a candidate for dis- trict attorney was not so quickly disposed of. A motion was made and carried, that the convention proceed to an informal ballot for candidate for district attorney. Mr. Wilkinson, of Crawford, named the present district attorney, J. P. Connor, which called forth much enthusiastic en- dorsement. Mr. Wilkinson made an elegant picturing of the victories which the republican party was about to win, and urged the claims of Mr, Connor strongly as a worthy bearer of one of the standard. J. B.

Chas. M. Harlo, in bohalf of & part of the Pottawattamie county delegation, presented with a high tribute the name of Col. D. B. Daily. It was the best nominating speach of the day, and called forth cheer after cheer. Mr. Lewis, of Mills county, placed before the couvention the name of A. L. Young. Major Anderson, after saying a good word for all tho men previously named, as being fit candidates, named A. B. Thornell, of Fremont county, as being the choice of that county. Major Anderaon then proceeded with a rattling sort of a speech. He thanked 00| God that this year there was but one @ gamp in the ropublican party, tened by the misfortunes of the past, the family. 1t was & consternation and mys- tery fo the democratic party who had no rally—the democratic party with its face always turned to the rear, and longing for the things of the past. The republi- came back to the consideration of the claims of the man whose name he had men- tioned. In urging the claims of Thornell he said he did not want to say anything against the record or the ability of the present incumbent? He threw out the hint, though, that Mr, Conner should not look for a renomination, as it was not in aocordance with the precedents, no Jsuch renomination for this office having been made since the organization of this ju- dicial district, He touched up sharply an allusion to the next congressional con- test made by a rreviuu- speaker, and drifted off into a little speech to theeffect the cruel war of the last congressional contest was ended and the next congros- slonal contest should not be dragged in here, but that they should only cross a river when they got to it. Then he came back and asked the convention to nominate Thorcell and nominate him quick. The informal ballot was then taken re- sulting: Conner 30§, Beard 18, Thor- nell 15, Yeung 12, Daily 10h. Whole number of votes 86, necessary to chulce 44, Pottawattamie county was equally di- vided etween Conner and Daily. The formal ballot resulted: Conner 53, Beard 173, Thornell 14}, Daily 94, Youog 0, A second formal ballot was necessary. It resulted: Conuor 40§, Thornell 22, Beard 14, Daily n?. The third ballot stood: Conner 39, Thoruell 28, Beard 12, Dailey 0. The fourth ballot was taken as follows: Connor 36, Thornell 28, Beard 11, Dai- -3 7.

Mr. Thornell said he was not accustomed to being struck by lightning and did not know what was appropriate to say on such an occasion. He wanted to thank the convention though Fremont county republicans did not know how to talk except at a funeral, and thore had boon 80 many funorals thero that they had lost their solemnity even. In fight- ing against the big domooratic odds there, though, they had fought like heroos, and felt that they were entitled to some recognition, and as far as he was concerned he felt grateful at the honor bestowed. Judge Lyman was called out with oven a greater outburst of applause, Ho made a brief exprossion of thanks for the compliment paid him, choosing his words wisely. He folt proud, he said, to have his name on a ticket at the head of which were the “Plumed Knight” and the ‘* Black Eagle,” and thanked again and again the convention for honoring him, By this time it began to be a regular hurrah camp meeting sort of a time in the convention, and the enthusiasm was worked up to the highest pitch, when Judge Loofbourow was called out. He threaded his expression of thanks with a vein of humor, He thought it was & good time to be on a republican ticket. He did not feel that political gratitude which consisted in the expec- tation of favors yet to come, but for the kindly treatment already given him, On" motion ot Col. Sapp, the conven- tion adjourned with three cheers for Blaine and Logan, and three cheers for the ticket nominated this day. —— ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

LANKTON'S LOSS. Burglars Make a Raid and get a Fat Roll, Burglars vissted the residence of B, F, Lankton, No, 122, Seventh stroet, some- time Wednesday night, and when he awoke yesterday morning ho found that his pocket-book and $430 was gone. The money mostly belonged to the Omaha firm ~ for which he travels, and consisted of $100 in currency and §140 in checks, The thieves had thrown away the checks, and they were found lying in the front yard. The theory held by Me. Larkton is that ho and the family must have been chloroformed, as they did not wake until very late, and felt queerly. It was also conjectured that the thiof or thieves must have slipped into the house before the doors were locked for the night, and kept secreted until all had fione tosleep. The police, of course, ave no clue to the robbers. e — THE CINCINNATI RIOT. It Causcs an Omaha Couple to be Re-married. Yesterday afternoon a lady and gentle- man from Omaha came over to this side and were very quietly married by ono of the justices of the peace. The gentle- man occupies a responsible position in one of the departments of the Union Pacific, and tho marriage was o peculiar_one for it appoars that they were married in 1878, and have been living lmppily together over since, but the certificate was lost and the record was burned in the de- struction of the court house in Cincin- noti at the time of the riot. There being, thorefore, no record and no certificate, they concluded to quietly got the core- mony performed over again and make a now record, —— Tho Nominatlons, One of the most interesting features of the convention yesterday was the speoch of Major Anderson in nominating Mr, Thornell for district attorncy. As pre- dicted by Tue Bee two weeks ago Major Anderson had massed some strength for the convention, not to be wused for himself directly, but * simply as o olub to rap some of those who sulked under the band wagon while his congressional trumpet was beiug ‘blown so lustily by John Chapman. His urpose of nominating Thornell, but tho interestin, part of it was the way in which hcltruufi out. right and left, tapping those whom he was anxious to make foel his power. Mr. Thornell has been a thorn in the flesh to Anderson and for a pumber of yoars has bothered him groatly. By, therefore, whipping about aud eupporting Thornell for the district attornoyship, he got an excellent chancg, for while e did notlove Thornell more, he still loved some others les Anderson’s speech, and the hard and successful work he put in for Thorncll, set all the political tongues gossiping. Mr. Thornell, the nominee, who came out victorious in the contest, in a man who is highly spoken of. He studied in Mr. Ross’ law office in this eity, and af. terwards went to Fremont county where he has practiced with success for years. This is his first reaching out for publis position, but his friends claim that he will show surprising strength, The nominations of Judge Tioofbourow and Judge Lyman met the expectation and the unanimous wish of the republi- can party, and thore is so littlo opposi- tion even. in the democratic camp as to rob their nomination of interest so far as any political fight is concerned. OAPE 0OD MORMONS, A Bect of Latter Day Saints that Swallow the Wholo Dose Kx- cept Polygamy. West flanwicit Mass., June 17,— West Harwich is & clean, lively little town with good accommodations for s mer boardors st moderate prices, in was quickly loarned, and we started to nee the ‘‘Saints,” whose houses ocoupy two long atreots or roads down to the Port, Those dwellings are comfortable in appoarance, and huve{urdunl abount thewm, A moderate-sized building larger than the houses, we were told “‘ia the place where ihe ‘Saints’ have their meetings, " Our driver was true to his principle of reticence concerning the Mormons, but excused it with the promise to find Capt, Howes," oue uf the 1nost prominent of the *‘Saints,” who would tell usall we wanted to know; and, suiting the action to the word, he drove onto tho wharf and callod out to an amphibious looking indi- vidual sitting in & boat that was close to the dock: “‘Caplain, here's some folks from ever 80 far that want to see you," The captain stared, and so did the dozen or s fishermen lottering about aud talking of the mcrning's catch of 3,000 iackerel that was to be seut to Boston, but after a moment he called out that he would come ashore, The sea wes slightly ruflled with an east wind, but was ot that deep blue that artists love to picture, and away out were the fishing smacks coming into port with their burdens. We had turned and been driven under sheltor by the time *‘the captain” made his appear- ance, and closer observation proved him to be & hurdy spectmen of hfs peculisr calling; tall, lithe, keen-oyed and of a rather intelligent visage., *‘Yes,” said he, as if he had hastily made up his mind what to say, “I am perfectly willing to talk of iy roligion, Weare Moracrsof| mixed up in onef” ““Yes, the best of all of them together.” **And the Book of Mormons?” “Well, that is a history of Mormon that Smith found written on some gold alates.” ““Who wrote it} “Tdon't know."” He then went on to state that he had alwaya resided at Dennisthrope; that ho was converted by an_elder, a Mormon missionary, and that Joo Smith, Jr., had attendod one of their conferenves, two of put THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN UMAHA TO BUY U"R HNNIlTTU "R"E[ Is AT DEWEY & STONE'S.

Tho elder was ill or forowarned of our coming, and we did not see him, but from a less cautious person we gathered some significent statoments respecting the *‘saints.” While they profess not to believe in ‘‘plurality,” they act in num- erous cases upon the principal of *‘aftin- ity.” Marriages among them have in this way boeen frequently brokon and re- sumed. One woman went to Utica, was gone twenty years and returned to her old mnrtin{ relations. Our informer, when we expressed surprise at this and other statements of a like character, ““Why, {t'sright enough; people can't help l‘lklllfl each other if they are mar- ried," The conferonces this person mentioned a8 most enjoyable occasions, with *good speaking from real smart men,” and a general atlendance of the people in the neighborhood, somo of whom, 1t is said, are gonerally made converts. It was im-. possible to learn just how many Mormons there wero in Donnisthrope—really a part of Went Harwich—but there are more than fifty of their dwellings, and over 100 residents in them may bo fairly estimated. The children of this colony attond thoe free school with the other children of Harwich, and there is & general tolerence of the *‘saints,” old and young, by the residents in the vicinity 1n a businens, it not in a social way. An intelligent man, born and brought up on the Cape, in spoaking of them said: “Theso Mor- mous are industrous and behave well; but of course they've got some black sheep among them like any other body of re- ligious people.” Another said, in exocuse for one of the *‘Saints” who departed from tho colony with an “aflinity” *“Why he came back and lives here now.” o ——— Fourth of July at the Lime Kiln, Detroit F'reo Iross. ** Diss club has concluded not to celo- brato de Fo'th of July,” remarked Broth- er Gardner as the meeting opvned, “‘One reason am becase' wo nm all patriots ebery day in do week, an’ anoder renson is Gnt de lemouade of dis kentry has so degen- erated in touo dat a true patriot has no bizness wid de stufl, We could whoop an’ hurrah an’ eat cokernuts an' wave flags an’ send up sky-rockets, but on de nex’ day we'd hiave to pay cash for mut- ton jist de same, an' our old clothes would look jist as old, an’ de landlord would come aroun’ fur de back rent jist a8 hard as if de declaration of indepen- dence had neber bin writ, “Donn’ b too patriotic, I caso of war you will bo suspected of fishin’ fur guy'- went contracts; and in caso of peace you will be called a blow-hard an’a dema- gogguo. “Lub your kentry, but doan’ let de kentry git ahesd of you, Lot your voico bo raied fur peace,but doan’ pay any revenue tax you kin git out of, “‘Be proud of our republic, but remem- ber that republics kin beat aty monarchy at corrupshun, ““Renpect our lawe, but remomber. dat 8500 and a good Iawyea will cl'ar & mur- ITIS THE NAME OF THE TOWN WHERE Fine Healthy Homes, FOR ALL ARE FOUND!

There {s an annual battle betweon Awerican martons and English sparrows at Midvale, N, J., for the possession of a box fixed upon a pole, wherein the mar- tenn have nested for many yoars, The box is coveted by the sparrows, and every spring, before the mwartens return from their wutun migrations, they build their nests and sot up housekeop- ing init. This year they went through the performance. snd when the martens camo they found thelr howes in the pou- nession of atrangers, After flying about the box for some time, the whole flock of martens botook themselves to a neighbor- ing tree, and there kopt up » chattering, which had «ll the appesrance of an indig- nation meeting. Then they uade an at- tack on tho box, and for some time there was a lively scrimmage among the feath- ers, 0 birds succeeded in ousting tho fpugilintic forelgne hard fight, and then began a how ing. The uests of the sparrows wero ruthlossly dragged to tho opening of the box, from which they were throwu to the ground.
