The Nomination Made Unanimous Amid Boenes of Enthusiasm. FIGHTING OVER THE PLATFORM. 8trict Regulation Railroads Demanded. A WRANGLE OVER PROHIBITION, A More of the The Struggle Results in a Victory For the Anti-Sul its—=The Convention Still in Bession at 3. a, m. Tha Republican State Convention. LiNCOLN, Neb., Oct. 5. ~[Special Telezram to the Brr.|—The preliminaries to the re- publican convention of to-night were of an exeiting character. he strenuvus ef- forts to defeat Judge Maxwell that had been fostered and fed by the railronds blossomed in the lobbies to-day, and in the erowds that surged through the corridors of the hotels. ‘The railroads always make a fight when they seehonest men on the bench beyond their control, and hence their bold and bare-faced assault upon Judge Maxwell. The Douglas county delezation arrived on the noon train and repaired to the Capital hoter. The usual complement of oil room bummers were numetous hangers-on with the strips of red pasteboard which passed them to the Capital City. The fat and greasy Vandervoort, the rabiclund Frank Walters and like dervoort, who hoped to get a seat by proxy in the convention, received a black eye trom the deiegation that in caucus determined that the alternates sould be seated. Lancas- ter county met early in the afternoon and was solid for Judge Maxwell. Matt Daugherty called the Saline delegation to caucus and 1t was found on the same field. Other counties occupied the early evening hours in conversing on what action they _would take. The different candidates passed the day in the most active canvass, with the exception of Judge Maxwell, who presided in the supreme court content to rest his case with the public. George S. Smith, of the Omaha delegation, opened Maxwell head- quarters at the Capitol hotel, however, and_Mr. - Rosewater, Mr. Jenkins and others of the Douglas delegation were actively at work. Congressman Dorsey with the judge's home delegation were ac- tive and General Van Wyck. who us a priv- ate citizen came to the convention at the head of the Otoe county delegation, was a hearty supporter of Judee Maxwell. From northern Nebraska N. D.Jackson, of Neligh, with the Antelope county delegation was in the field for the judge. ~ Correll came with the Thayer county delegation while Pawnee, Fillmore, Washington and other counties were counted on for like support. Senator Meikiejohn, of Nance, headed the workers for Judge Post who was backed by a large number of county delegations in Judge Post’s district. Adams county boomed, for General Dilworth, backed apparently, by the solid Republican vnllu(y country and a num- erous following in the north. The Gage delecation was divided. In fact *it looked” as one of the delegates expressed it, “as though that county was to have a pienic throughout the conven- tlon.” Church Howe wus noticeable for his apsence and the absence of the Nemaha man from a political convention was commented upon, Somesuggested that he had exhausted himself at the judicial convention the day before. Senator Manderson was present in the lobby, looking over the great crowd, but Senator” Paduock’ was absent. 1t was asserted, however, that the senator had sent a preference in this contest. It was manifest ¥ 1y in the day that proxies were abundant * 3 that the roads had used extra diligence 1 gathering them in, AL 7 p. . the opera house rapidly beran filling up, it requiring nearly the entire first floor to accommodate the five hundred or more delegates who were assicned by the ushers to their positions, Lancaster and Douglas occupied central places in the parquet flanked on one side by Otoe and Clay, while Gage, Cass and otlier counties with numericatly large delegations were on the left, § It was 8:15 p. m. when Chairman Burton called the convention to order. Hon, L. D, Richards, of Dodge, placed in nomination Hon. L. W. Usborne, of Washington county, for temporary chairman, Mr. Osborne was elected um\n\muusl( and being introduced to the convention said: *I am thankful and grateful to this convention for the honor conferred upon me. I congratulate you that this convention meets under such harmon- 1ous cireumstances. Let us hope that the convention will do its work with that har- mony that will ensure certain success at the polls, (Applause.) The republican party stands to-day a unit on all great questions, a harmonious unit that has the prestize of vietory already on its banners. ‘I'he country has doubled its population and quadrupled its wealth under republican rule. ‘I'here is one thing that can be said of the republican nnn{u t has maintained its principles. It hi n aconsistent party. It has not been a party of free trado and a party of protec- tion, or a party of freedom and slavery. 1t has been a party for every and all states, A party of prinelple and a party of loyalty, A party of freedom, the champion of the equality of man. (Apolause,) ‘I'he party nas been an aggressive party of men that have lived in the future and not in the past. Af:nny with its eyes in the front of its head. It bas been the [(mrly of the laboring man and has protected the toilers of the country, giving dignity and respectability to labor.

A division was cailed and on the division some desultory discussion followed in whier Wime was urged and a call s the rull. At this all the motions were practl and Judge Mason arose. lle was greeted with an ovation that lasted fully ten minutes before he was allowed to ,ur that he did not desira to be on the committee or to be its chairman, and he hoped that the original motion would be adopted. ‘The original mo- tion accordingly prevailed.

H. H. Wilson, ot Lancaster, moved that the resolutions presented be rea and referred to the committee without de- bate, Mr. Cuurmn{ objected to the plan and objected to Mr., Wilson's Amumlln&ln ew- hibition resolutions in that way. r. Wil- son replied that he never smuggled into a comivittee on a ?roxy and the hus‘:n passed around, Mr. McBride objected to the motion and moved that the motion be laid on the table. General Van Wyck wanted the action on resolutions presented discussed. e thought that important resolutions would be presented and he wanted them discussed so that the convention ~ and the peovle of the state as well might hear them.

Steele, of Butler, movedito proceed to the nomination of a judge of the supreme court by a call of counties by an informal ballot. Judge Mason moved as a substitute that candidates be placed in nowmination. He wanted no assassination on the second ballot. Judge Mason’s motion prevailed, and he took the floor. He said that the man whom he wanted was an_old -citizen; one whom he had known for thirty years, whose name was a_synonym of honesty, who was an untiring worker, who had honored the {lulminry.

When Douglas was reached it cast thirty-two votes for Maxwell, Lancaster, when reached, cast a solid vote for Maxwell, The northwest county, that had been yoting for Cook, came in solid for Maxwell, and “his nomination was assured. ‘The result of the ballot was as follows: Samuel Maxweil unanimous. Judge Maxwell appeared before the con- vention, thanked the body for the nomina- tion, and said that it would be his In the future as in the past to fulfill the duties of the office honestly and fearlessly.

The work of legislative control in state and nation shail continue until all cause for complaint of ex- horbitant rates and unjust discriminations in favor of individuals or localities shall cease to exist.

While favorin such change in the constitution o this state as will permit the railroad com- missioners to be elected by the people, it hereby voices its contidence in the existing boaid of transportation, aud commends its efforts to obtain for Nebraska tlie same tariff of rates for freight and carriage of passen- gers as I8 accorded ~to neighboring states similarly situated. 1t is_ grossly unjust and a grevious wrong that Nebraska should pay more for the transportation of her products and the carriage of her supplies than her nelghbors—lowa, Minnesota and Dakota—and the republicans of the state, with its 3,000 miles of easily constructed and cheaply maintained lines of railroad, shall not cease their efforts until all wrongs be righted. The gratified thanks of the American peo- le are due to those who defended the union n the late war, and we are in favor of pro- viding suitable pensions for soldiers sailors who wera disabled in the service who have since, without their fault or vice, become objects'of public charity, and to the widows and orphans of those who fell in its defense, We heartily sympathize with the ambition and efforts of the patriots of Ireland in their endeavors to obtain for their country the blessings of free institutions and local selt- government. We recognize in Charles Stewart Parnell and William E. Gladstone worthy champions of the fundamental prineiples of the Declar ation of Independence. At this stage in the proceedings the tariff rlank, declaring in favor ot a reduction on ron and to cease paying tribute to the iron manufacturers of the east and to put taxation on the luxuries, was introdus The plank was Inid on the table, Douglas voting 42 to table and 10,against. Mr. k. Rosewater and H. H. Wilson championed the report of the committee, Reavis, of Richiardson, moving to er, the by all le. The fight came on, however, with a pro- hibition plank, the resolution pledging the varty to a submission of a prohibitory amend- ment. It was promptly moved to lay this plank on che table. On the call of counties Douglas voted solid to table the plank, Lancaster voting 17 to table and 11 against. The vote was close and exciting, It resulted—542 votes cast, 261 votes for laying the plank on the table and 252 against, 50 it was not tabled. At this point Paul Schminke, with wrath on his brow, took the tloor, and ‘amid cheers and the greatest contusion he made the speech of the night. George W, Brewster, of Blaine, cham- vioned tne other side. Hot words flew around and C. J. Green spoke lfllnsl the plank. ‘The discuasion waxed heated over the pro- hibition amendment. A demand for the previous question brought haf of the convention to its feet, There were so many unspoken speec| that the previous question was yoted down. 0. E. Howard, of Clay, scored the Douglas county delegation in a bitter attack against their position. Mr. Rosewater replied to the allegations and the atterapts to foree a prohibition issue, He cliimed that it was ttack upon the individual rights of a citizen and that there wid no more right to lexislate on that ques- tion than to make an individual attend a certain chureh. Mr. Rosewater said that Douglas county never had & solid republican delegation and showed before the agitation that the county was represented by republicans. Hecharacterized the resolution as ill timed and a tirebrand thrown into the convention. H. H. Wilson followed in defense of the resolution, demanding that the rural back- bone of the republican party should be main- tained. e said that republicans all over the state were looking tosee what would be done. He believed the anl)‘ was a party of courage and should fulfill its pledues. H. C. Brome, of Madison, did not favor the resolution, and spoke to the question. 1lis oratory was listened to by all, and the s[l)enker was loudly cheered by the cvenly divided sentiment, and the equally evenly divided lobby clicered. ‘I'he resolution attracting three hours’ at- tention is as follows: ‘The republican party of Nebraska stands pledged to the people on an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the importation, manufacture and sale of malt, spiritous and vinous liquors, and this, lik® all” its former pledges, it will redeem, C. J. Greene moved the following amend- ment: ‘That the state central committee incorpo- rate in its call the coming year, the question of a constitutional amendment to be voted on at the primaries of the party. The roll cail was made on laying on the table and it was lost: noes, ‘The question then recurred on the adoption of the amendment and Harlur, of York, moved the previous question. Again the roll was demanded, resulting: Total vote, 55: for the amendment, 5493 against, 1¢ » the amendment prevai ‘This amendment, after four hours figchting, relegated the question to a year in the future and n victory practically for the ti-submission side of the question, Doug- las county on Green’s awendment voting 32 for It, Lancaster 13 for and 13 against the substitutes ‘I'he convention then proceeded to the con- sideration of further resolutions in the plat- form and at 3 a. m. the convention gaged in the discussion of resolutions cen- suring Cleveland aud the action of the demo- cratic party.

Double Cordons of Police Swept Aside and Cleveland Himeself Almost Crushed in the Great Crowd -~Kvening Reception. Claveland in Chicago. Ci1cAGo, Oct, 5,—Only half a dozen stops were made during the run of the presiden- tial train from St. Louls, ana these were at water stations, Litlle knots of peonle awaited the passage of the train through the night to look at the car which contained the sleeping pres- ident. The presidens was called early this morning to ¢ive him an opportunity of seeing something of the rich prairie country. He appeared on the rear platform shortly after sunrise and the farmers, recognizing the solitary figure, shouted with delight as the train rushed by. At Joliet, through which place the train ran very slowly, sev- eral thousands filled the platform. Mrs. Cleveland had now made her appearance ana took her place beside her husband. At Lamont, 111, 500 quarrymen were drawn up in line, General Vilas boarded the train with three friends, six miles from the city, and accompanied the president to town. When the train drew up at the Twenty-Sec- ond street station the presidential party was taken in hand by the reception committee and escorted to the carriages in waiting, The train bearing President Cleveland and wife puffed slowly into the Alwon depot at Twenty-third street at 9:10 o'clock a. m. There was a loud shout from the crowd and three cheers as the dis- tinguished pair walked across the platform to their carriage. A moment later the car- ringe door closed, four spirited horses Jjumped as the whip circulated over their heads and the president was riding through the streets of Chicago., 1t was only a few minutes after 7 o’clock this morning when the people commenced to stop at the depot where the president xas adver tised to alight from his special train. At that hour there were men, women, boys and fi'irl\\ standing around the little three-cornered depot, which looked dismal in its coat of weather-beaten drab paint. It 1s a two-story structure with two small waiting rooms, in each of which the stoves furnished slight heat for a crowd of persons who had becoine chilled standing on the outside looking at the rusty car rails on twosides, Near by are small frame buildings, towering elevators, and bulletin boards eovered with higuly aolored pictures of theatrical attractions. In all directions vacant lots, or rough lumber or stone yards could beseen. Not a bit ot decoration was visible for a Dblock around the queer little depot, and not a vestize of color could be seen on tne latter bullding except a dirty drab which protected the outside weather boarding from the elements and big yellow letters which looked almost flashy in their surroundings of ¢loom. It was a welcome belitsing the executive of this great republic that President Cleveland met with when he landed for the first time in his lite in Chicago, this morning. The enthusiasm was electrical. Such crowds, such bright faces in the same number were never seen before. There must have been 50,000 men, womed and children gath- ered within a few blocks of the station. All the streets leading to Archer avenue were blockea completely with the press of human beings. Above the heads of the crowds could be seen helmeted 1 |lIL\r?‘, They were truly a fine lot of n, in all “four com- panies of cavalry and artillery. ‘Cheir arrival created ~ & sensation which grew more and more tumultuous s the presidentiul equipage appeared on the ene. I'he crowd was entirely good natured, 1ts one wish_seemed $o0 express respect for the president and lady. Although boisterous at times, as all crowds are,this one was on its good behavior and ~ readily enough obeyed the requfsw of the po- lice. to stand back and leave a clear space throuch which the president tpass. As the president’s carriaze moved pway the military formed around it and the crowd with wild eneering fell in behind, The president took off his _hat the moment he got nto the carriageand bowed and smiled as the roaring cheers went up, He seemed pleased with his welecome and well he might be, for it was truly foyal. Mrs. Cleveland wore ablack traveling dress and although wearied from traveling looked fresh and charming as usual. As the presidential earringe with the fair mistress of the white house came in view a cheer went up fromn the wasses that filled the streets, but the demeanar of the crowd at this part of the line of march was in striking con- trast to the unceasing din of cheers that greeted the president furtheron. There was no music until the prusidem(fiut to Twenty- i stréot, and the crowd did nothing but th look at the flm‘il(lell! and Mrs. Cleveland. \ Close up behind the carriages came the Mi waukee light horse squadron and battery Fourth artillery, U. 8. A, The crowd had yelled itself hoarse cheering for the president when the second division swung into line at the corner of Michigan avenue and Twenty- third street. Down ‘Twenty-third = street, Waoash avenue and Thirty-fi(th street people were packed as neverbefore in Chicago, On the tops of the houses and in the windows were crowds of anxious faces, and from the roofs tloated streamers, evidently improvised hurriedly for the occasion. Down at Twen- t cond street, where the procession began, there was a repetitiop of the depot scene, and & man might as well have attempted to walk through a brick wall as to force his way intothe midst of this fence of men and women. The parade was veey large and variegated., ‘The regular infant \?‘a\'fllry and artillery, and many ditferent militia organizatious headedit and were followed by veterans of the war, ctvic societies of all classes, ete. When the president’s carriage reac the reviewing stand the United States steamer Michigan, which lay in the harbor just oppo- site, fired a presidential salute of twenty- one guns. This was the signal for a mob of 50,000 people to overfun the procession and swarm like ants vard the stand in their eagerness to see president, When he made his wa; the stand he and a few officials with lfm were almost pushed over a railing by thenob, who were engaged in an insane struggld for the front. During the height of the jam a u-rnnfi crash was heard and halt a hundred people who had squeezed themselves onto the reporters’ tables were preeipit to the ground. No one seriously I'rjun»d, though the inci- dent almost createdia panic. When com- arative order haaspeen restored Mayor oche stepped forward and delivered his welcoming address. 1n response to Mayor Roache's address of weleome he said: It was soon atter the election of 1554 thagan old resident of your city was earnestly ufging me to pay you a visit, e endeavor 10 meet all objections that were started and insisted with unyield- ing pertinacity tuat the invitation shoula be accepted. Atlast, and after all persuasion seemed to fail, he yehewently broke out with this declaration: *I'he people up where live don’t think & man is fit for resident who has pever seen Chicago.’ have often thought ot tuis incident since that time, and sometimes when I have felt that 1 was not doinz for the peonle and the public welf are all that mi. htbe done, or ali that Iwoud L like to do, I have wondered if things would not have gone on better if I had visited Chicago. Indeed it has, I believe, been publicly stated on one or more ocea- si0ns lately, When the shortcomings of th present ehief executive were under dises slon, that nothing better could be expected of a man who had never been west of some designated place, or river, and this, pase, means the same thing that my Ch riend meant, and ?n\‘ulves the same aceu tion and conclusfou, If my alleged offic erimes and wisdemeanors are thus charita bly accounted for, 1 shall not complain. While 1 confess that the declaration of the representative of this city as | have given it, is an evidenceof that loeal pride and lovalty, of which your clt&r is a great mouument. Al bave heard of it if thoy have not seen it, for cvery oue of your people _OCTOBER 6. 1887, seems to have orfnn(ze(l himself a committee of one to spread Its glories abroad. And now that I am here I feel like saying with the g&efl of Sheba, “The half has not been After relating the history of Chicago's growtn, the president concluded as follows: *You have said that the president ought to see Chicago. 1 am here to see It, and its hospitable large-hearted people, but because Y’onr city is so great and your interests so arge and important, 1 know yon will allow me to suggest that [ have left at home a city you ought to see and know more about, in point of fact it would well for you to keep your eyes closely upon It all the tinie.

There was such a jum then tit the presidens could not leave the platform for sotne time. l"lllnll{ however, he got away, almost faint- ing with huneer and exertion, 'and_had din- ner. Inless than an hour the public recep- tion 1n the Palmer house began and more than a hundred thousand people rushed like wild baasts at the president and wife. So thunderous was the din that a score of prespiring trumpeters seemed engaged 1n a dumb show. “In vain did the police, clubs in hand, endeavor to stem the rush, Rope barriers were swept away at the first rush. Mrs, Cleveland was retired into an alcove, while the presidens plunged into the sur¢ing crowd and sturdily shouldered himself into the place where it had been de- clded he should stand. Threo tines did files of brawny, dismounted eavalrymen seize the ends of one of thegropes that had been dashed to the floor and strive to drag back the eager multitude. Only with the aid of a double cordon of police did the maneuvers of the soldiers bring the faintest semblance of order. 'The president meanwhile shook hands right and left till he was red in the face and his collar lay limp above his black coat. Behind him at the entrance to the cove stood Mrs. Cleveland, bowing and smil- ing wood naturedly at the crowd. She stepped a little nearer her husband when the first appearance of a line began to be tormed. At the head came a detachinent of uuion veterans, bearing aloft the tattered battle flag of the Fourth Kansas volunteers. While the president warmly greeted the old sol- diers, one ' after another, the color bearer stepped forward o _ Mrs. Cleveland, and lowering the old flag bade her clip off one of its precious shreds as a mewento of the day. The president’s wife gracefully complied and while the spectators went wild with enthusiasm, displayed her trophy e)mlldly to the ladies at her side. low estimate of the number of persons with whom the president shook hands is 6,000, but these were the fortunate few. Thou- sands in the corridors and thousands upon thousands in the streets falled even to eatch a sight ot his face. During the crush outside it I3 wafe to say that as many as fifty women had to be borne from the throng into stores near by, fainting from exhaustion. THE EVENING RECKEPTION, Shnnllcl({ and lack of ostentation wers the distinguishing characteristics of the evening reception at the Columbia theater. ‘L'en thousand tickets of admission had been is- sued and only ticket holders were admitted. A floor had been laid throughout she house level with the stage and beautifully carpeted, while the whole interior of the theater was beautifully decorated with flowers, ferns, palms and bunting. Mr. Mrs. Cleyelan stood together, each having & pleasant word and hearty handshake for all comer: Mrs. Cleveland’s costume was elezant_and her demeanor enchanted every one, It seemed as though she never would tire of welcoming the people who glided to her, and the presi- dent was no less gracious. ‘Ihe reception ‘was a notable event in Chizago’s history, @1t had been announced that the reception would close at 11 o’clock, but the president and wife, seeing a long line of anxious faces, lingered past that hour. It was nearly mid- night when the reception closed and then two or three thousand people were turned away disappointed. —_— YOUNG VOORHEES' PLAINT. A Branch of the Tall Sycamore Fer- ninst Cleveland. CiicAGo, Octt. 5.—jSpecial Telegram to the BrE.|—A gentleman just from Indian- apolis reports that Delegate Voorhees, of - Washington territory, who is now there and about to come to this city, as saying that President Cleveland has been actuated en- tirely by selfish notions in making appoint- ments for the Pacitic coast, and for that mat- ter all over the country. Voorhees is re- ported as saying: “1 donot like Cleveland a d—d bit. There never has been a presi- dent who has given the country such a per- sonal administration as he has in this, that he has himself made almost all the appoint- ments that have been made and they were entirely in his own interest. Take for in- stance Herbert Beecher, now special govern- ment ngc(iz at the port of entry at Puget Sound. ~ Ha was first apoointed collector of that part atthe requestof his father, Henry Ward Beecher, Charges of embezzle- ment were made against hium and proved to the senate comumittee, to which the charges were reterred, and he failed to cet a conlir- mation. In spite of all this, at the recess of congress Cleveland made hin a special agent at the port. In that capacity his appoint- ment would not have to xo before the senate atall. Of course you know Cleveland owed sometling to his father. In protesting now L protest as a democrat. Mr. Cleveland has no interest in the gnrly. and the appointment of Beecner will be a loss to our party in Washington territory of 5000 votes. An- other is Governor Squire, He fought e bit- terly on my election simply because Gen- eral Bristow, of New York, a mugwump, desired it, he having been friendly to Cleve- land at the time of his election.” Voorhees recited several other instances, among them being the case of Owingo, now secretary of state for Washington territory. “Owineo,” said he, “took the stump, and made a bitter fight against Governor Hen- dricks, calimg him all sorts vile names, He also attacked Cleveland. ill _at the re- quest of his brother, another New York mugwump, he is kept'in_position.” R Signor Crispi Interviewed.

MixNEAPOLIS, Oct. 5.—The delegates to the general assemby of the Knights of Labor were a_little eatlier in gotting to work this morning. There had been no night of en- joyment to make them laggards and there was an airof bustle about the hotels, but there was no excitement and little oven talk- ing, and it appears as it preliminary work was well In hand. The convention was called to order at 9: ‘The unfinished work of the credentials committee was first taken up. When the session closed last night the credentials of only 150 delezates had been passed upon. 1t 1 understood that numer- ous protests were referred back to the cre- dentials committee for additional informa- tion. ‘The connnittee tinished 1ts work and was ready to report this morning.

Buchanan took his defeat very Pl\llusflplll\‘nlly and admitted that Powderly had treated” him very fairly, bhaving given him more privileges ~on the floor than he had ever seen him give any- one. The conventivn was flooded with circi- lars issued by district assembly 83, eriticising Powderly and commenting unfavorably upon his spaech and replies to the attacks made upon him at Denver last May. As soon as the Buchanan case was dis- posed of the cases of the protest against the admission of delegates from district assembly 18 of l‘enna{lv-nu were taken up. ‘I'he report or the committee in favor ot ad- mitting the delegates was adopted.

This morning he addressed the national assembly of the Knights of Labor. With reference to the condition of affairs in Ireland he said that the Irish people were bearing with fortitude indignities worse than those that had pre- cipitated many bloody revolutions and it was impossible to tell whether more stringent measures might not foroe thew to an out- break, which, of course, was the great object of the tories. A8 for the home rule seuti- ment, it was spreading ke wild lire over Great Britain, and there was no doubt that were an_election held next year Gladstone would sweep the country like a whirlwind. Mr. Davitt sald of the relations of the Irish question to the causs of Labor, the Irish movement had rendered a service to the cause of reform elsewhere. He spoke at some Ien{tn rezarding the strugule of labor and said that the spectacle of the Knights of Labor working without interference from the government or interfering with the gov- ernment gave them, across the water, pride and pleasure. ‘“‘We view it,” said he, “‘with interest and expectancy.
