[Copyright 1587 by James Gordon Bennett,] LoxpoN, Oct. 1.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brge.|—The bon voy- age supper given to Charles Dickens at mid- night by the Green Room elub, broke up only when the morning broke. A. W. Pinero, who I8 a fine playwright but a poor after-din- ner speaker, addressed the guest who inherit- ing his sire’s ability as a post-prandial orator, responded. lle, however, said very little in ‘words but expressed much in sbearing and feeling. He aptly quoted from his father, [t 18 better that all work honestly under- dertaken and performed should speak for ftself than be spoken for.” One sentence he gave was very Dickenish, viz: “I am not en- tering with a light nor yeta heavy heart upon my undertaking of glving readings from my father's works in America, but with a simple determination to do my best.” This was said coaséquent upon the following passage from Chair- man Pinero's addres “Our guest is going to read to the Americaf people from the works of his late father. He is going to 8 land where, perhaps, at the present mo- ment fiction holds a higher place and fultils a nobler mission than in any other country, A land where its high aims are recognized: where its professors are honored and where its roots spread far and wide and deep down into the hearts of a great and gencrous race Mr. Dickens is oing to this land to interpret that master of fiction almost before the tones of that master’s voice have ceased to resound in the memory of hisears. [ would. not anticipate the verdict of the American people on the fulfillment of Mr. Dickens’ task, but 1 would say in their honor that the breast of every man and woman present to greet Mr. Dickens as he appeared on an American platform would throb with emotion at the realization that after the lapse of many years, the wave of time had devosited among ther: a man hav- ing in his veins the blood and bearing by right of immediate inheritance, the name of Charles Dickens.” Handsome Jack Barnes of the club pro- posed the health of the American visitors ‘which was responded to by James R. Oszood, whogave Ameriea and Dickens an all-the- year-round greeting and proposed one touch of Dickens, nere on file, would make the two countries Kin. Thero was present a brother ot the guest, Henry F. Dickens, who i3 recorder of deeds at the mouth of the Thames and who most resembles his parent. In fact the brothers are the little ones left behind when the parents visited New York forty-five years ago next January and to whom Dickens, in his published letters, made such pleasant al- lusions.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION. Its Work Completed After a Long and Ex- citing Bession. — THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES Colburn, Boller and Bruner Reccive Renominations—Moores For Clerk of the District Court—Mercer For County Judge. Work of the Convention. The Douglas county republican con- vention, which was held at the city coun- cil chamber yesterday, was, in point of numbers, the largest of any local conven- tion ever held by the party in t city. While its make-up was principally from the ranks of the professional ward poli- ticians, it cannot be suid that it was packed in any interest or absolutely con- trolled by any faction. The council combine, as it is known, held the key to the position through Bechel, who, as chairman of the committee, was able to exert quite an influence in moulding the outcome. The call fixed the hour at 1 o'clock for the meeting, but it was a quar- ter past 2 before Bechel, who had ev dently held a private caucus with his lieutenants, put in an appearance at the desk of the president of the council, He struck the gavel, called the convention to order, and had barely spoken ten words when Connell interrupted him, evidently by agreement, and nominated Bechel as temporary chairman, put the question and declared it carried before anybody could say Jack Robinson. Bechel didn’t appear sur- prised in the least atthis, but tersely ed, “‘Gentlemen, what will you have —what's your pleasure?” Then the hubbub began within and without the enclosure, and the swarm of candidates commenced a free distribu- tion of printed slips and tickets for the gift enterprise drawing in which most were doomed to draw blanks while but the elect few carried off the prizes Throughout the session, which lasted over cight hours, with a recess for sup- per, the interest was unflagging and the excitement often intense. Below is given the proceedings of the convention in detail : Called to Order. The convention was called to order at 2 o'clock by William K. Bechel, chair- man of the county central commuttee, and on motion of W, J. Connell, he was elected temporary chairmaz:. On moétion of Judge Hawes, Miles Hauck was elected secretary. John Rush moved that a committee of seven on credentials be appointed. W. Bl burn stated that there seemed to be contest in the delegations, and therefore time would be saved if the delegations hauded their names in to the secretary. This was made as an amendment and it prevailed, The chair then read the names of the delegates, 110 in number, the names of the majority of whom appearcd in yes- terday’s Bk, On motion of Mr. ‘Blackburn, John C. Thompson, of the Seventh ward, was elected assistant seeretary. After the delegates had been seated, John Rush moved that the temporary organization be made permancnt, The motion prevailed. 1. S. Hascall moved that nine delegates rom the city and three from the county be appointed to select the delegates to the state republican convention, This was opposed by Judge Brown, who held that the project was unrepub: lican. He moved to amend that the delegates from each d name two, and South Omaha two, cinct one, and the deficiency, amounts to one, be appointed at lange, to make the nomination. 0. H. Rothacker moved tbat nomina- tions be made by three men from each ward and tive from the connty precinets, which would leave no discrepancy. Upon a motion presented by Judge Hawes the matter wus laid on the table until the close of the neminations. Mr. Webster, of the Fourth ward, in- troduced the following resolution, whict was adopted: Whereas, ‘Ihe republican party of the na- tion will next year hold its customary quad- rennial convention for the nomination of the party’s standard bearers in 1838, and Whereas, We believe the city of Omaha by reason of its central "loca- ticn, its M"Fl“ facilities for the accom- modation of guests, and the many other advantages of our city to be pera- nently fitted as the place for holding such convention; be it Resolved, by the republicans of Douglas county in convention assembled, That the delegates from this county to the' republican onvention requests said convention to ially ask the national republican com- mittee to select the city of Omuha as the vlace holding the uvational republican vention of 1888, Resolved, That these resolutions be en- grossed and a copy forwarded to the national republican convention.

Mr. Hatfield thereupon vut Mr. Co- burn’s name before the convention. Mr. Marrow recommended the nomi- tion and moyed that it be made by The motion prevailed. Mr. Coburn was then called and said that he desired to give expression to the feeling of thankfulness for the kindness which the convention had extended to him in renominating him for one of the county oflices. During the pi nt term he had tried as far as bis ability would enable him, to do ms duty, and if elected, as he expected to be and would be, he would not only to do hus duty as he had in the past, but also give his hearty support to the ent ticket. . Mr. Coburn’s remarks were greeted with eneers, no ac motion s an honor TREASURER, i that hereafter all » by ballot, and that tes cast be required Judge B nominati A ma, for a nomination, Mr. Hascall opposed the motion and said that it would prevent the nomigation by acelamation of Mr. Bolln for county treasurer, Judge Brown said the rule could be suspended if need be. Mr. Hascall thercupon moved that Mr, Bolln be nominuted by acclumation. The motion vrevailed. Mr. Rolln was then called for and thanked the convention for the nonor conferred upon him 1n his fe-nomina tion. Two years ago. bz nad promised to serve them faithiully, to the extent of his ability, and if re-elected now, he would atiempt to do even better than he did tefore. Once more he thanked them for their kindness and retired amid cheers, COUNTY JUDGE. % Mr. Johnson of the Sixth ward nomi- nated Judge James H. McCulloch, of whom all he had to say was to poimt - to the reeord that the judge had made while he filled the office he mo- tion was seconded by Mr. Meclntosh of the Fourth ward, and several others. Mr. Van Dorn nominated . C. Mercer. J. R. Webster, of the Fourth ward nominated Moses P. O'Brien, a splendi specimen of the young Irish-American who inherited all the sterling qualities of his deceased father; a staunch republhican of strength and intelligence at the bar, who would also bring a strength to the ticket, which it would be well to con- sider. Fred W. Gray seconded the nomina- tion and said that Mr, O'Brien’s nomina- tion would give a sweeping impetus to the ticket which would insure its election. 0. H. Rothacker said Lee Helsley was a man who was tit for the office, s staunch republican and a young man who was worthy of the position. T'he nominations were then closed.

He said that it was meet that he should come before the convéntion having but lately engaged in itin a spirit of contention to the close, to receive 1ts endorscment.

When he stepped down from his position in January he hoped it would be with the feeling that the convention had ex- pressed to him 1n permitting him to ap- pear before them. CLERKS OF THE DISTRICT COURT, John Rush nominated Frank Moores, as a man whom he had known for cigh- teen years,a man who had never switched intn a byitrack or a by-issue, who was not a crank and who steadfastly, earn- estly and faithfully supported every re- publican ticket from president to consta- ble—a man, too, whose pocket was open to everv ecampaign. Indeed, there was not in Omaha a gentleman who, accord- in to h means, contributed s0 liberally as Frank k.

Walsh then took the | that if 8 floor and said 1ge were nominated it meant the slaughtering of Coburn. | This_remark was based upon a deal which is known to have been arranged by which Boyd, superintendent of the stod rds and democrat candidate tor sherill might, in the event of Savage's nomination, trade votes with tho lat- ter in return for republican votes whom he might give to Boyd, thus de- priving Coburn of votes which'he would otherwise receive. | The second ballot iscovered a vote which wus marked for three votes.

Mi. Walsh then said thut Colonel Sav- age was living in disputed territory and further that he heard that Savage's can- didacy in the interest of a democrat. Colonel Savige replied that such was not the cas It had further been charged that he was a democrat and the postmaster at South Omaha. IHe was not the postmaster of that place, he was the republican mayor _and had been elected as such, last spring by republican votes.

With regard to Judge Wakeley, he came before the conventi democrat, but as a non-p ! s generally admitted to be t! stor, city, but also of the state. 1t was no refléction to toe legal minds of the state to say he was perhaps the brightest among them all, and tha he was without a peer, certainly in th st Judges Groft and Hopewell were republicans and ull sdmitted that they had made a record in 8o far as they had been able to muke one, because it was true as had been said, that they had not been on the bench long. He favored the taking the judiciary out of the whiripool of politics, and the plans proposed would do that and at the same time leave the fourth place free to other attorneys, es- pecially from other parts of the distriet. Mr. Unit, of the Ninth ward, opposed the plan and Judge Brown thought that the antroduction of the resolution was mexpedient at this conven somewhat | tion Mr. Hascall then made a strong sneech in support_of the resolution suggestion from Joe Redma s enllenlted for a division of the question | and the taking of the vote upon Judge | Wakeley alone.
