The State Convention Lixcory, Neb., Sept. 20.—-[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.|—The long continued two days’ lobby, the greatest gathering of the kind ever formed before a state convention, came ton close at 7 o'clock to-night, the hour appointed for the convention to assem- ble. Through the entire day the work went on, unceasing lobbying for the favorites and ever and anon the call for a county would be heard to 2o into cancus. Butthe uncertainty never ceased, and at the time of the conven- tlon’s assembling doubt hovered over the at mosphere of the gathering and the pool that could sweep the tield had been formed to the knowledge of any one. During the day the Douglus connty deleation met to oreanize, and an illustrious lot ot proxies bobbed up and the railvoad crowd thought they had it Charles J. Green, a delegate by proxy, wanted to be chairman of the delegation and was sat down upon. The same ob, that defeated Green defeated ‘Thurston the place, and the Dr. Mercer as its ehairn ble to the anti-monopoly republicans the delegation, who did not Wi their votes east through a railroad attorney. In the Lancaster county delegation an organ- ization was made by selecting C. 0. Whecedon as chairman of the delegation, contrary to the plans of the Burlington & Missouri, who were in politics for tain Phillips for that position, Several other plans of like calibr were knocked in the head, but the railvoad ere in politics all the day notwithstandi ne of the surprises of the lobby was to | that Valley county had sent a delegation against Auditor Babeock, and no little breeze was occasioned thereby for a time. Lt very active work was at once inauguratea to quell the riot in the ranks. The convention was called to order at 7 o’clock, p. m., by C. E. Yost, chairman of the state central committee, and on motion of Hon. John M. Thurston, of Douglas, Hon. James Laird, of Hastings, was elected tem- porary chairman. Mr. Laird, on taking the chair, thanked the convention for the honor of presiding for a short time over the republican party of Nebraska. Mr. Laird compared the inauguration of the pres- ent democratie president with the first repub- lican president. He was glad to say that the republican party was a law-abiding party. The promises of the democratic party had not been carried out. Its legislation was against the soldier and the common people, 1ts legislation was for the millionaire, Mr. Morse, of Merrick, nominated F H. Wilson, of Cass, G. W. Brewster, of Blaine, and Walt M. Sceley, of Lancaster, for secretaries of the convention, James Laird then said that in passing to a permanent organization he desired to nomi- nate for the position of chairman his col- league, Congressman A. J. Weaver. Mr. Weaver was elected unanimously, On taking the platform, Mr. Weaver said that the democratic party was in power and happy, except in its matrimonial conn tions. ' The democratie party, he stated, was the common enemy of the silver di The administration of the demoeratic party S a constant attempt to throw a cloud o silver dollar that” was doing the bu fons for delegation then sclected an, who was aceep.a- on the si ness, The democratic party has made a_record in vetoes, One hundred and one old soldiers had been vetoed out of that which they had earned and paid for yearsugo. The repub- liean party had furnished the sinews of war on its interpertation of the constitution against state rights, The republican party was stronger to-day” than ever and it would allow no demoerat’to represent Nebraska, Mr, Gere woved that a commlttee of fif- teen on resolutions be appointed to whowm all resolutions should be referred without debate, The ehnir said he would appoint them as per stipulation: . iore, W.

The call of coun- ties on a motion to lay the minority report Al s 9 At made on the table was watehed with inter the excitement surpassinz tiat reached at any stage in the pro- ceedings of the convention, the packed railroad delegation howling and attempting to stampede the conyention with a howling ncked lobby. When Otoe county wa veached, and Frank Ransom announced the vote as thirteen against laying the report on the tabie, and a delegate arose to dispute the vote, calling four for the motion, the convention fairly went wild, and by Senator Van Wyck's motion Otoe county was polled, voting individually, when Judg Hayward, 'who sat in the delegation by proxy, with three followers, recorded theni- selves' in favor of the commission. The r sult of th vote was 302 ayes and IS noes, and the canvention, amid the howls of the ilroad crowd, placed itself on record in vor of the fratid. “Ihe question of the submission of prohibi- tion was then brouzht before the convent- ifon, Tate, of Bufalo, taking the ground for it. Mr. osewater opposed it, believing it inexpedient and not proper to 'be submitted 4s_an amendment to the constitution. AL Gere of ter opposed the question of submission.

It was not long before he had to give up the ploughshare for the sword, as in 1895 Le commanded u party of volunteers to quell a disturbaifee among troublesome Indians at Fontenelle, then the frontler. Subsequently he was at the head of the territorial militia and as such did good work in resiraining the Paw- nee Indians from committing depredations against the whites. General Thaver was a member of the upper house of the territorial legislature from 189 to 1860, and in the fall of the latter year he was chosen a member ot the constituiional convention. When the war broke out he informed the secrefary of war that Nebraska would furnish one regi- ment and imwediately, under orders, pro- ceeded to organize the same. On the comple- tion of his labors he was appointed colonel of the First Nebraska, and proceeded with regiment to St. Louls'tn the summer ot 151, Subsequently he went with his command to Pilot Knob and Sedalia, Mo. After short service with the Fremont expedition to Suringlield, Mo., the First Nebraska went by steamer to Fort Henry and participated with distinetion at Donélson and Shiloh, Its colonel was then made brigadier general for gallant and meritorious services, and during the battles nued he served as commander of the second brigade of Wallace's division.

"T'he situation inthe yards 1s quiet. and the men are wait- ing quietly fc demonstration on the partof the firms. Business has increased considerably within the past month, and- the winterseason, which bogins abont Novem- ber 1, will be a ieavier and brisker one than has been experienced for some years, This will nocessitate the employment of fuil work- ing forees, Packers are almost unanimous inasserting that under the eight hour system they are losing heavily. They say that the men do not work as rd as they did under the old rule, and that to have their work done satisfactorily they are compelled to i crease their force” more than is necessar allowing for the reduction of two hours per diem, Packing houses in other cities are working on the ten hour system and the twenty-two packing houses in the stock yards cannot compete with them, as their otlier expenses are heavier. One nacker said to-day that the newly established louses in Omaha would, in the event of the refusal of the men to work ten hours, eapture much of the work this winter, so that the Chi- cago houses would not have to employ big forces. Most of the packing house proprie- tors are interested in those at Omaha, and could transfer their business ana save money, as the freight rates and contiguity of Omaha to tne ‘eattle sections were suficient inducements to locate the packing business there permanently. Packers, ac- cording to your reporter’s informant, have been seriously eontemplating these features, and a strike or lockout would hasten that movement. While there is a_general under- standing among packers that the movement to re-establish the ten-hour rule shall be par- ticipated in by all ~the houses, nothing of a decisive nature looking toward the matter has been done. Several plans have been pro- nd disenssed, and various methods 1 resorted to with a view of ascer- taining the feeling or the men.
