THE OMAHA OMAHA, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER I 1887. U. = >3 oo e = SEVENTEENTH YEAR. NUMBER 174 : OMAHA COMES 1IN SECOND. Defeated After a Gallant Fight For the Convention. CHICAGO CAPTURES THE PLUM, The Gathering Will Be Held the Nineteenth of June—Three Bale lots Necessary For Choice of Location. Omaha Did Nobly. Wasnixaroxs, Dee. 8,—[Special Telegram to the Bre.]—Chicago is to be the place and Tuesday, June 19, the date for holding the national republican nominating convention. This conclusion was reached by the national republican committee late this afternoon after two hours of speeches by representa- tives of the various cities competing for the convention and three ballots by the commit- tee. Omaha came to the front in better form than was anticipated. On the first ballot she was second choice, Chicago leading with eleven votes and Omaha receiving ten. 1f there had been any “‘dark horse business’ about it, there would have been no doubt of Omaha securing the prize. She was the prime favorite as sccond choice. Too much credit cannot be given Senator Manderson for the manner in which he presented the advantages of Omaha and his speech is pronounced by everyonc usa masterly effort and elicited repeated applause. Two or three members of the committee acknowl- edged to the BEk correspondent that they were won over to Omuha by the way in which her claims were presented. The delegation sent here from Nebraskaalso did magnificent wort, and although its members regret hay- ing fuiled to secure that for which they came, they are satisfied that their work has not been in vain and that the city of Omaha and ntate of Nebraska will derive enough benefit 0 repay them for the trouble and expendi- turer made. The general comment among representatives of the various delegations that lave been in attendance at tue capital to present their respec- St cluims for the convention, 18 that Omaha made a splendid showing and was highly complimented as being second on the first ballot, standing ahcad of such cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Indianapolis. It has transpired, since the lo- cation was made that a good deal of “boodle’ ‘was used by the Chicago lobby. Crawford, of Florida was brought in after the committee ‘was in session, and without right was ad- mitted to vote by proxy. Some parties, who were bought, of course, after making u feint on the first ballot, went over bodil Clarkson, of Jlowa, Wwho was ex- pected to stand by Omaha to the end, went over on the second ballot and it is generally understood that Elkins and Clark- son pulled the wires together for Chicago. A majority of the Omaha delegation go back by way of New York. Congressman M- Shane and ex-Mayor Boyd worked very earnestly with the republican represeutatives from Nebraska on behalf of Omaha and were both present with the delegation when General Manderson delivered his address to the committee. The Proceedings in Detail. Wasi , Dec he republican na- tional committee was called to order at 11 this morning in the Arlington hotel by B. F\. Jones, of Pennsylvania, its chairman, Sam- uel Fessenden, of Conneeticut, acting as sec- retarv. In a brief speech Charman Jones stated the object of the meeting as follows : “Gentlemen of the Committee:—As stated on the call, this meeting is for the purpose of sclecting the time and place of holding the next republican mational —convention, also to cousider such other matters us may bo properly brought before it, und as everything connected, however remotely, with the government of this great country, is impor- tant, our v may have far reaching results. We should, therefore, carefully con- sider such subjects asmay be brought before us, that we may decide wisely, We may ¢ gratulate oursclves on the improved prospects of the republican party since the national umittee met in this city four years ago for the same purpose that all are now assembled. All 1hot time the majority against the republican pezty the north at the last preceding general state clections counted up into the hundreds of thousands. The great states of New Yo itic gov- nors, New York, elected by nearly 200,000 Jlurality, which was reduced for the same ndidate in presidential election, to less than 1,100. Though by accident the democratic party have the presidency and prestige of success, the signs are uuspicious for the electi of a republican ‘president in 1888 ‘The momentum acquired by twenty-five years of prevalence of republican principles “have not yet lost its force and the material in- terests of the country are still prosperous us the result of republican industrial legis- lation. The recent utterances, however, in- dicate a determination to end this prosperity by adverse legislation forced upon the country an administration hostile to American industry, and also indicate the necessity of o return to power of the repub- lican party the national government, so that American industry, wool growing and sugar r equal with iron malking and texile priuctions, may have continucd pros- perity, and employes in these institutions constant_employment and coutinued good wages, such as American workmen should receive. The roll was then called, and every state and territory, with one or two exceptions, was represented by a delegate or proxy. The invitation of the republican national league tendered to the committee to hold meetings at the league headquarters, was cepted, The committee adjourned* to reas- semble at the league club house. A recess was taken long enough to enable the committee to take possession of their quarters, and when Chairman Jones agaia called the committee to order it was decided to allow cach delegution fifteen o8 in which to present their claims for holding the republican national conven in their respective cities. The delegation admitted was that from M sota. Their spoki cuutor Windom, who gy thought Minneapolis should be favored by the com- mittee. He guaranteed on behadf of the citizens that the traveling expenses of delegates should not be greater than if the conventic should be held in Chicago. Should the convention meet in Minueapolis, ample hotel accommodations for 40,000 people could be provided at the usual rates. A hall with a scating capa- for 11,000 will be extended for the meeting of the convention and suit- able headquarters for every state and terri- tory would be provided in the same building. St. Paul and Minneapolis weve uuited in th flort to sccure the convention at the latte place. An issue has been made by the iu bis message, and the republic must act upon it. The issuc was t tection or free trade he president had adopted & form of messuze never befo: heard of. He had { tten to acknowledge even what Divine Pro nee had done the country, und had hed into the tur s an issue botween the parties. Tho demo crats knew there was an element in the re publican party of the northwest that was uot as sound on the question of pretection as it resident nparty t 0f o, spokesman for a large delegation of gentle- men who were admitted to present the ad- vantages of St. Louis as a convention city. He predicted that the eclectoral vote of Mis- souri would in the next election be found in favor of the nominee of the republican con- vention, whoever he might be. Mayor Roche, of Chicago, in a business-like manner detailed the convenicnces which could be ac- corded members of the convention by Chi- cago. He, as mayor, would be pleased to have the convention meet in a city which had grown to be what she was under the pro- tecting influence of the tariff. ‘1\[|I|luuur:,] Senator Cullom earnestly urged the commit- tee Lo select Chicago aud he made a brief resume of the hotel, railroad and telegraph facilities of that Chicago to-day was in favor of protection and had been improved in other ways since 1554, It had had much to do in grappling with the element of com- munism nuJ socialism that had been spread- ing over the country. It had been settled by the authorities of 1llinois that a man_who disregarded the rights of property and law and government could not liven Chicago or in the commonwealth. [Applause. o hoped Chicago would be selected, but whether it were or not, Illinois and Minne- sota, aud Nebraska and Kansas and lowa stand by their colors and vote the republican ticket, enator Manderson spoke for Omaha, “‘that young giant municipality situated in the heart of the continent and upon the banks of the greatest river in the world.” If the convention were held there, when its work was completed, members of the committee would realize that the statements of the gentlemen who were here representing Omaha had been charac: terized by an immoderate degree of modesty [Applause and laughter.] In the next elec tion the republicans would strive to attain success and he believed that they would do $0. With the magnificent issue that the enemy had forced upon the party the cast should not demand that the convention should be held in that section, The western states ought to be strengthened; the convention ought to be held in one of them and Omaha was the location to be preferred. It had no choice for president. It was for the nomin of the convention. Congressman Ben Butterworth presented the claims of Cincinnati, This place was pe- culiarly suitable for holding the next republi- can convention, The delegation for which he spoke was a thoroughly representative one, its members coming from all parts of the state. It did not appear in the interests of any candidaie. The selection of a candidate must be the result of the intelligent choice of a convention representing the preferences of the republican party. Ohio would put her lance in rest for the nominee and stand in the front rank, halting and failing in nothing. Murat Halstead, of Cincinnati, seconded Butterworth in Lis praises of Cincinnati, Congressman Harry Bingham, in an elo- quent speech, presented the claims of Phila- delphis. Colonel William C. Elam, of Rich- mond, Va., presented an argument in favor of the republican prrty in that state. To demonstrate her cordial recognition and sup- port of the national republican party Vir- ginia would give her el 1 votes next year to the republican caudidate for the presidency. Governor Gillette, of Dakota, presented the claims of the people of that territory to the recognition of the republican committee and said they would send dele- gzates to the next.convention on the basis of two territories and he noped they would be recognized and sdmitted. He described the treatment of Dakota by the present admin- istration as the blackest page in the blackest book of American history. They had been offlicted by a man of “Sparks” [laughter], whose aim appeared to be to deprive th ple of their homesteads on the most frivolous pretenses. He begged the committee to et the uext national republican conventi near to the people of Dakota. Plumber, of Dakota, made an Formal papers presenting the claims cago, Minneapolis und Omaha were then submitted: and, after some discussion, committee proceeded to take an informal vote viva voce. It resulted as follows: For Chicago, 11; Omaha, 10; Cincinnati, 8; Min- neapolis, 6, Philadelphia, 9; St. Louis, Washington, 1. The committee then pro- ceeded to vote formally by ballot. The fol- lowing result was aynounced. Whole num- ber of ballots cast, 47; necessary to choice 24, of which Chicago veceived 22; Omaha, 4: Sincinnati, 93 neapolis, 8: Philadelphia, s, 1. The secold formal ballot re- sulted: Chicago, Omaha, 1; Cincinnati, 13; Minneapolis, 8, On motion of Movey, of Louisiana, the choice of Chicago as the place of holding the next convention was declared unanimous. The time for the meeting was fixed for Tuesd; the 10th of June, 1888, Governor lette, of Dakota, offered a reso- lution allowing the territory of Dakota six delegates at large in the républican national convention anud made ‘a speech in support of it. Opposition was made by several members on the ground that the com- mittee had no jurisdiction in the matter. The amendment offered by Mr. Carey, dele- e from Wyoming, to allow the territori f Dakota and Washington to elect four con- til s, whose admission would be decided by the convention was adopted, after discussion. A resolution was adopted recom- mendi the committee to push campaign work between now and the meeting of the couventi Mr. Gallagher, delegate from the vorkingmen's party, asked of the committee some recognition of the cause of labor, He wanted a committee to further the views of the lobor party in the direction of a high protective tariff, a strong nuvy, more coust defenses, internal improvements, compulsory education and other matters, and to use the surplus and protect the labor of American workinginen. They asked for tne liberation of the white slaves as they had wituessed that of the black sluves. On mo- tion of Conger, of Ohio, the hearty and full co-operation of the committee was voted to the men represented by Gailagher, The committee adjourned at 7350, The Republican League's Reception. WasniNGrox, Dee. 5.--One of the most notable social gatherings of republican lead- ers ever held in this city assembled at the clubthouse of the republican national league this evening, on the occasion of the reception tendered by the league to the national repub- lican committee. Almost all the republican members of both branches of congress, as well as many ex-congres: n and well- known republican politicians, were present. Mottoes of republican doctvines were dis- played throughout the house. The main ide: ned in thew was protection to A and cnterprise, and this was the key note of all the speeches delivered during the evening, -— MOST'S PUNISHME He is Sentenced to the Penitentiary For One Year.

Chicago Police Collecting Evidence to Rid the City of The Cmicaco, Dee, 8.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—Few people, besides Chief of Police Ebersold and Captain Lyman Lewis, are ac- quainted with the fact that in the upper right hand drawer of the captain’s desk in the Des- plaines street station there is a bunch of pa- pers containing information about the hot- bed of anarchists on the West Side that would cause some of the reds to shake in their boots if they only knew the substance of it. Captain Lewis is a quiet sort of an of- ficial, never gruff to visitors, and apparently t aggressive of any captain in the city. To look at him one wolld never guess that he is engaged in eonducting & still hunt and collecting evidence against the different red flag organizations which he intends to spring on them at some future day. But such is the case. During a little talk to-day the captain divulged enough of his plans to show that a determined effort is being made to get a case against the anarchists that has for its object the banishing, by legal process, of any and all of “‘the forcign rascals,” as he calls them, who can be shown to entertain anarchistic views. “I know that the bulk of their strength is here in my district,” said the captain, “but just now they are inactive. The hangin, Was a blow that stunned them, and although they continue to gather in the saloons of Grief and Florus at 5 and 71 West Lake street, they do nothing worse than drink beer and talk. Every evening they meet and, after drinking several glasses of beer, their tongues get loose and they begin to rant. No doubt if all they say in one even- ing at either of these places, their old headquarters, could be overheard, we would have a case against them at once, but the instant a policeman shows himself they quiet their loud exclamations and scatter like raf All my officers are, of course known, and a stranger in their midst has the same cffect as an officer until they know who he is and what is his business. Besides these two places there are numerous private beer rooms where they meet to harangue and lash themselves into beery frenzy but it is best not to tell where these are located Thus far I don't believe they have a singl; resort that we are not aware of. They have given up the idea of mass meetings and when anything important needs their attention they adjourn to the residence of some one of their number. Their real meetings are held only this way and they never go to the same house twice in succession. But we have even the houses spottec “This dispute with Mayor Roche on the beer question has exasperated them more than the hanging seemed to, They hud come to expect the hanging but that they should be denied the beer privilege was a shock as well as a surprise to all of them. Take the beer away from them altogether and there would be no more anas in my opinion, That effervescent beverage serves to fill their brains with visionary - dreams aud theories. The more they drink the more visionary they become; the logical part of their braius is overcome by their imagination und they fancy allsorts of things."” - - IVE FESTIVALS. To Be Held in Chicago For Dead Anarchists' Relatives. Cinieaco, Dee. 8.—Instead of one entertain- went b Battery D, that was choked off by the hostility of Mayor Roche, or three that were talked of yesterday, the anarchists have decided to have no less than five different festivals at five dif- ferent halls in various portions of the city for the benefit of the families of the dead and imprisoned anarchists. One will be held Saturday, two on Sunday and two on Tuesday. The halls engaged all have license to_sell liquors, so there_ will be no further difficulty on that score. It is announced to- night that the burial of the exceuted anarch- ists will take place at. Waldhei, Christmas ay. 2o TARIFF RE '{ME“S. Congressmen of Both Parties Polled on the Subject.

John Bull's Quecr Ideas. (Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpoy, Dec. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber. |—Cleveland's Christmas conundrum is being guessed all round, but nobody seems to know the an- swer. An eminent city man said to me this afternoon “Our markets are completely upset; we don’t know which way to move," 1 asked him what the message had got to do with his markets anyhow. “Well, people say tnere will be a panic in the United States,” was the reply. All sorts of theories are aflont of America coming round to free trade soon. English goods will go to your ports duty free. Cleve- land's statue will be erected by the side of Cobden's. Fair traders, to borrow a classical phrase, are “‘knocked higher than a kite.” They have been inviting the workingmen to imitate the American commercial system, and now Amcrica, ‘“doubling round” free trade, a whole Niagara of cold water has been poured down the fair trad- ers back. The. papers all give their interpretations of the message and the people accept them. Perhaps that is why nobody understands the president. Englishmen mean by free trade the absolute prohibition of duties on articles and goods produced by themselves—no taxes on raw materials or food. Itisin vain that men here and there pointing out that no such policy is indicated by the president’s message. A nation does not know what to do with its surplus, and its chief magistrate advises it not to collect quite 80 much at the custom house. It shows how very uneasy English free traders have lately been concerning this position that they hail this announcement as the acceptance of their views. To convert the United States is in- indeed & triumph. The Cobden club will henceforth set up a shrine for the worship of President Cleveland and send him all its publications gratis. Cobden founded free trade; Cleveland saved it. Such is the burden of the song all through England to- day. In political circles the message creates as much of a sensation as anywhere, but its purport is not misunderstood. It is pera ceived that it proposes. no alteration in the protection system, and is far from laying down the principle that a nation may only tax what it does not make or grow itself. President Cleveland has yet some distance to travel before he will be recognized as the suc- cessor of Robert Peel.; But the English have made up their minds that he has really joined the true church. Although he is not quite ready to avow his conversion, he will be formally received in due scason. Their mis- takes are astonishing. They think that when a thing is recommended in the president’s message it 18 settled. They leave congress completely out of sight. Every provincial town local paper states that America has turned free trader and great is the reputation of Cleveland and blessed his name. The fair traders were already getting into amess owing to internal dissentions. Some of them clamor for a duty only on wheat, some on manufactures, and others want to tax everything indiscriminately. To-day's meeting showed the extent of the schism, for all true leaders of the movement absented themselves, Letters from some of them have been sent, but it is not likely that the chair- man would dare to read them. The proposed tax on food is especially denounced in thes letters, They came from men who have a right to be heard. These d s at the very time an appeal'is being made to the pub- lic for £100,000 with which to carry on the agitation, must greatly damage the whole cause. At such a moment Cleveland explodes his torpedo under the party. The papers tell them American free trade has blown them into the air, and they believe it, knowing no better, The real originators of this movement are working men who know what they ‘want and mean to have it, They compress their de- mands into a nutshell—free trade all round or duties all round. They will need Sam Weller's microscope to detect that doctrine in the president’s message. The tory leaders will now sit down heavily on their heretical followers, The president has dealt a very adroit blow at the party here which cries aloud for the duties on American imports, If his preliminary skirmish leads to a dispersal of the fair traders, unique distinction will be- long to an American president—that of destroying an English party without any direct interference in English politics. This can only be accomplished by concessions in the tariff in favor of English manufactures. If the United States will reduce the duties on cotton, iron, silk, woolen and other goods to ten per cent, the fair trade party must dis- solve or modify its polic “Killed by Cleve- land” may be inscribed over its grave. Whether the message is likely to be followed by such a revolution in your fiscal policy you are far better able to judge than your corres- pondent. A. MEMBER OF PAKLIAMENT, MORE COMMENT. Leading Statesmen Talk on the Pres- ident's Messag [Copyright 1887 by Jamex Gordon Bennett.] LoxvoN, Dec, 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre. |—President Cleveland’s message obtained entrauce into two conferences ‘to-day—one at St. James hall, where was held & rattling convention by the national asseciation for the preserva- tion of agriculture and other industries. It assembled in order to protest against the ruii of British'industries through unrestric- ted foreigu competition. The other was the great unionist conference at the Westminster town hall. Oue was presided over by How- ard Vincent, M. P, who recently made a tour of the United States, and of the other Lord Hartington was chairman. Said the former, in the course of his speech: “President Cleveland’'s message was probably nof whelly unassociated with our demand in England to-day for fiscal re- form.” Very many allusions in both conferences were made to the United States.

Nothing more will be done yet beyond sending of a warning to Russia that Austria is watchful and will not leave unanswered any further military meas- ures that Russia may take.
