Montgomery, sccretary of the state democratic committee, called the domo- cratic convention to order in Washington hall, on Eiphteenth street, near Harnoy, Mr. Moutgomery consoled himself and tho dele- gates present by remarking thut although there were but few present, ho had never scen a better looking lot of men, He thon called for nominations for atemporary chuir- man, Mr. Miller, of Butler, nominated A. J. Poppleton, of Omaha, who was elected with- out opposition Mr. Poppleton, on assuming the chair, remarked that when the flosh pots of poli- tics were in sight the churacter of conven- tions was not usually.of the highest order, but when a mmority party, one buried undor A majority of 30,000, met yoar aftor year to put up candidates, their action was gener- ally tho result of pure motives, Sinco the state had been & state the democrats nad never flinched. The office of supremo judge was the most important in the state. I'he election of a democrat to the offico of su- preme judve would be ap ora in the history of Nebraska that would be heralded to the United States as one of the greatest events in the cLronology of the stata. When dr. Poppleton had conciuded, W. . Hellar, of Washington « county, was selectca as temporary sccretary, while Montgomery, of Doug miller of Butler, Bryun, of Lancaster, Gates of Sarpy, and Marun, of Richardson, were se- lected as a committee on credentidls. The chairman of the committeo reported that there were no contests, and that all ere- dentials seemed to be correct. He recom- mended that the convention proceed without tho formality of reading tho' list, and that each delegation castits full vote, This was adoptea, J. Sterling Morton moved that a committee of five on resolutions bo appointed, which prevailed. Miller of Butler, was choson as- sistant secretary, after which the” chair ap- pointod J. Stertitig Morton, of Otoe; Martin, of Douelas: tryan, of Lancaster; ~ Martin, of Richardson, und Hastings, of Saline, & committee on resolutions. Pending the report of the committee, Mor- vissey, of Douclas, called for Dr. Abbott, of Iremont, to unravel a little democpatic doc- trine. Awmid loud cries of ‘“*Ablott,” tne gentleman came forward. He made a \" Ty humorous speech, in which he rem: that he had not been in tho de long enough 10 maken democ that he had been taken ta on probation, us it were., He arraigned the republican party for all tho evils the flesh is heir to. “Ne- braska,” said he, 18 an agricaltural state. She senas ber crops to Liverpool untaxed and receives in return goods which are weighed down with an enormous tariff, But the state, with its 50,000 majority, will yet turn and emand 4 chango. The question is not a party one, and he who would make a party question of it deserves to lose his Iranchise.” Manderson and his pension next received attention, and for ten minutes the anctor riniculed the idea of that gentleman 1eceiv- ing a bounty from the government. LProhibition was his next theme, and & vig- orous argument in favor of personal hberty followed, which was greeted with tremen- dous app “The main question of the hour, howover, In the doctor’s opinion, is whether the great corporations of the state should nominate the judyes of the supreme court or not. ‘Ihe railroads had dominated in the republican convention by 200 proxy votes, and it was time for even rcpublicans to After urging the convention to make a wise belection, Dr. Albert closed his speach. Mr. Montgomery then mwoved that the con- vention proceed to nominate u judge of the supreme court and two regents of the uni- versity. Mr. Morrissey amended by moving that the names be presented.

A. Paxton, A. J. Poppicton, Fuchd Martin and others, delegutes— Messra: The fact that my nowination by the democratic convention, as & candidute for judge of the supreme court, has been sug- gested, aud to some extent urged, will, I trust, excuse this communication.

Bt reasons exist, both of a public and private uature, which in my judgment, would amply justify me n declining, at this ime, to enter a contest for the place; and would forbid me to accept a nomination forit. Idesire, therefore, that my name shall not be presented for consid- eration, Permit me, further, to express the hope that the convention may take such action as will fitly show its appreciation of the diguity and independence of the oftice, and emphasize the just public sentiment which demands that all courts and al the approaches to thew, shall be absolutely free from the dom- fnance of any swmister influenco, or any special interest. Very respectfully, WAKELEY, The committee on resolutions mude the following roport: Protection—As democrats and as repro- sontatives of an exclusively agricultural commonwealth, we denounce and protest against the protective tarifl policy of the re- publican party, which makes the United Stutes tho most exclusively taxed country fn cnristendom; which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer; which, by law, mukes farmiog urprofitable in every state and ter- ritory of the union by artfully lifting the prices of all the farmer bus to scll by de- Blroying bis natural market. Avid Land Appropristions—We denounce a0d Protest against BPProPriaLions to irrigato descpt lands because the farmers of the United States should not be further taxed to oreate competition for thewr farms and themselvos. We have already enough aradle land o glut a howe market ana put nearly wil farm products below the cost of produc- tion. Until the tariff taxes are off the farmer can staud no such hostile legislation —such decree of forage upon existing farms, such reauisition for the creation of bis own competitor, Sugar Bounties—We denounce as a per- wersion of the legislative power the sugar bounty law enacted at the lust session of our legisluture, which seeks to bestow unon pri- Vate corporatiors money raised by tuxation under the plea of encouraging home mdus- trios. We also condemn such legislation as an illogal interforence with inter-state cou- werce, und an spplicauon of the protective principle Lo stuto government. Pau-American Congress —We regard with ntorest the present scssion of the Pan- American congress, culled together by a democratic administration, and bhereby ex- press the hope that the atteation of the dele- gntes from abroad way not be called to the ofticial utterances und litocature of the re- publican party, iest they bo eonvineed that our nationul wealth and greatness ure due 10 the discouragiuz of foreign commerce and be led to follow au oxawple and excludo our products froui the South American ropublic: Subsidics—We denounce and protest against subsidies, either of public lands or public moneys, to steamship lines, railroud COIPANICS OF L0 uDY OLUEr Privale corpor- stions. We further protest against the loan of \ho public credit or the extension of any losn already made to either the Central Pa- eifie, the Union Pacific or any other railroad THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1389, company. Wedemand that the government stnll cnforce payment of corporations in de- fault as it doos of individusls, by dus pro- coss of law. Let their property be sold when the mortgages becomo due, to the highest bidder, I'nen the roads can be capitalized for less monoy, fixed charges be reduced, and more reasonabie transportation rates be secured. | emporance—Bellaving that the object of government is best attained by giving to the individual the largest liverty consistent with public safety, we regard with dis- trust the various forms of Aumptuary leislation, and accept a well regulated and carefully guarded license Iaw as the most peaceable solution of the liquor auestion. Special Legislation—We are opposed to all class legislation, state or national, and pro- tost against the encouragement or discour- agemeat of special industries by law, believ- ing that such maters can be safely left to the good sense of our people. Pensions—We commend the demoeratic utterance of Corporal Taoner, late commis- sioner of pensions, *“The atidavit of a priv- ate soldier shall be worth as much as that of a commissioned officer;” but we protest against the nrevailing abuses of the peusion burean, which threaten to swamp not only the pubiic revenues, but_likewise all com mon sense distinetions between honorably discharged soldivrs and desorters; belween disabilities incarced in the service and those contracted since; between worthy veterans, who in old need their country's help, and oxnuberantly hoalthy, robust gontlemen of independent incomes, whose patriotic pride should scorn to accapt that help. We denounce as fraudulent all pensions for chronic diseases drawn by men who at the same time secure and carry volices of life insurance. No good wovernmeont will fail to pension a soldier who bas contracted a disabling chronic disease in its servic No good life insurance company canor will insure a person known to ha chrouiz dis- case. But good government and_good life insur- ance should jointly take effective care that the pensions for having @ chronic disease, and for not having a chronic discase be not issued to the same man. Kither tho pension or the pulicy in such cases is & swin- dle; both cannot be honest. “Lhierefore we demand elimination of all fraudulent pensioners from the rolls, so that deserving soldiers may thus enhance their security for the justdcbt which the govern- ment righteously owes to them, The resolutions were adopted. Lyon, of Lancaster, put in nomination Hon. John H. Ames, of Lincoln. When he had finished his speech, ex-Governor Butler, representing the union labor party, made a b in Jvdze Ames’ behulf, and promised the democrats 5,000 votes if they pliaced him in nomination, = That settled it, and Ames was nominated by acclamation. For regonts of the state university W. S, Mcienna, of Adams county, was nominated in the Sccond district, aud 1. W. Hess, of Platte county, for the Third Miller, of Butler, asked assist Caspar, the canaidate for coneress in the Second district. J. Sterling Morton re- sponded to the appeal by a spoech, after which the convention adjourned. for speakers to THEBY INDORSHD CLARKSC crats Pavor the F tion ForJulee, When the democratic judicial met yosterday afternoon overy a lively session. ‘There were tivo strong fac- tious, each openly avowing its purpose of es- tublishing a procedent, the justice and order of which would hercafter remuin undis- puted. One faction, headed by A. J. Poppleton, John D. Howe and others advocated the bar's selection, Josoph R. Clarkson, while the other fought to have the convention follow the exumple set by the republicans Mouday in nominating a candi- date for judge. ““There is only one respectablo thing for us to do.” said Mr. Howe, “and that is to in- dorse Clarkson. 1 think, also, that is what we will do.” ‘I'his opinion echoed the feclngs of Mr. Poppleton as well as a number of others. However, they recognizea the fact that there was Strong opposition to tacm, thongh just how strong could mot casily be deter- minea. he_latter was headed by Con. Galugher, Frank Morrissey and °J'm Creighton, who had been flying frantically about the &treets looking for” delezates from the cutside connties and trying to fix them. Gallagher compluined bitterly of Euclid Martin's partiality in putting thirty-three lawyers on the delegation, all of whom he thought were bound to' be for Clarkson. This left thirty-nine of the Douglus county delegation, and the twenty-four from Isurt, Surpy and Wasnington countics to compose a majority. “‘We are going in there,” he continued, break down this ide: one, “hat th bar must_sclect The country delegation will be with us, because they had 10 representation at the bar meeting. 1 con- cede the vacany to a republican andam willinz to indorse Davis, the republican nominee.”” The delegates met at the police court room at 2 o'clock. Jim Creighton came in early, under the guidance of W. F. Gurley, and began an w0 xious canvass among the delegates in the nterests of H. J. Davis, the republican nom- ine district judge, Mary Doe, an elderly lady with & shaker bounet, occupied @ prominent scat in the front row of delegates and wuas an inwerested spectator. She got in by mistake and quietly waited for hel name to be calied to answer to the charge of bemng drunk. Montgomery called the convention to order at 2 o'clock, and C. H. Brown was chosen temporary chairman without opposi- tion, and W, H. Eller, of Blair, temporary secretary . The anti-Clarkson_delegation, headed by Con Gallagher and Frank Morrissey, occu- pied the benches assigned for business av tho police court sessions. “Phey received their sentence at the hands of the convention. A committee of five on credentials re- ported the names of parties entitled to seats in the convention. “The first row of the series was startod, ovidently without intentivn, by C. 8. Mont- gomery, who offercd a motion that the dele- gates prosent be authorized to cast the full vote of the counties they representod Con Gallagher and_Krank Morrissey op- posed the motion. They wanted each dele- Eate to cast his own 1ndividual vote, and if any delegates were too lazy or indifferent to attend they ghould not have a voice in the convention, After some bickering the motion was with- drawn and a substitute offered by Hou. A. J. Poppleton that the convention recommend Joseph K. Clarkson for the suffrages of the non-partisan voters of the aisteict, This mouon sprung the full force of the opposition. “That's & gag resolution,” yelled Gal lagher, *1wantto vote for another man; how am 1 to get n chance " “By voting down my resolution,” quictly responded Mr. Poppleton . Gallaguer roured. Ho was opposed to the convention boing run by lawyers. “And I am opposed,” retorted Mr, Ponple- ton, “to having & mab atlempt Lo dictate to this couvention, who comes hore holding a commission under & republican administra- tion. ‘I'ne fact that I am a democ! doesn't prevent me from favoring a non-partisan judiciary, a system that has given our purty two honored representatives upon the bench of this district, They were put there by the votes of non-partisan putriots indorsing the choice of a non-partisan bar." Mr. Gallagher replied that he had earned aright to hold & commission under any ad- winistration on the flelds of his couutry's batties, ; It was Jim Creigbton's turn then. He shook his gold beaded cane at the chairman and said he was troubled to understand why all the row was being raised over two repub- licans, Ho was in favor of nominating a straigit democrat for the place. Mr, Poppleton withdrew his motion and substituted one calling for an informal vote for candidutes, 'heu there was a skirmish. On a division of the house on a previous motion the Clark- son factiou hud 24 votes to 23 of the opposi- tion. Two couutry delegates came inand took seats with the Gallagher collection. 1t looked @ little biuo for a moment, until taree belated Clarkson delegates arrived und the vote went ou. Jotn D, Howe received 1 vote, A. J. Poppieton 2, and C. H. Brown 2. Jo R. Clarkson received 24 and W. H.

IT HAS WEDDED THe MOTOR. Mercer's "Streaks of Rust” Gobbled by the “Congolidated.” A POWERFUL MONOPOLY. Details of the Deal, Valie of the Prop- erty, and the Fiiture Manage- ment of the Great Corporaion. Jomed the Consolidated. At noon yesterday wis consummated one of the the most important deals ever consnm- mated m Omaha. It was the purchass of the system of the Omaha Motor company by tho Omaba Street Ray y company and as a re- sult, the consolidation of tho two greajrival companies. The stockholders of the motor company ceive as a consideration all the money they invested n the buildings and equirping of the road, namely $5,000,000, and in addition to this one-fifth of all the stock in the new consolidated company The latter will probably continue to be known as the Omaha Street Railway com- Dany. Tt1s said that Dr. Mercor, presidont of the Omaha Motor com pany, was opposed to the deal, but was “‘frozen out” by the other stockholders in the motor company, Who sold enough of their stock to the Omal Stroet Rmlway company to givo the latter a controlling interest in the concern. Dr. Mercer was seen 1n regard to the deal and scemed elated rather than depressed, saying that from a financial stand poiut be should be congratulated, us ho mado a geod investmont, and got & splendid interest on the money he Tiad put into the motor system. He haa invested, he sai the enterprise, and therefore owned only a quarter intorest, which was rar from enough to coutrol the company. He did not, however, blame the stock-lolders who hud frozen mm_out. He said thal the matter of consolidation had been under con- sideration for some time, but shook his head Qubiously and said ' he was afraid that the consolidation would not be a good thing for the people, Just at the close of the consultation thav resulted in the consolidation, President Frank Murphy, Mr. J. J. Brown and Sena- tor Paddock were scen and admitted that the romor in regard to the consolidution was correct, Mr. Hrowa said that the directors of both companies thought that the combination would nure to the general welfure of the public aud also the companies interested, 1t would save a large expenditure of money and the railway company would obtain pos session of streets which would enablo it to wore adequately satsfy the demands of the people. Mr. Brown said furthe Mereer wonld be the only o motor who would ente one. Acholders in - the old compuny would retain their interest in the new com- pany according to the extent of theirin vestment. Ir. Brown and Mr. Murphy vulue of the cousolidated £5,000,000, the vaive which Dr. Mercer had fixed ou the motor line alone. They would not namo the selliug price of the motor sys- tem,though it has been stated to be $1,000,000. Mr. Murphy said that none of the lines would be abandoned, but would instead be pertected in servico and tho o already proposea would be' made. ‘The Omatia Motor railway was ovig uted by Dr. Mercer, who put about’ $150,- 000 into it, and finding 1t u heavy load too in several loeal capifalists. ‘1he o was reorganized and_stocked at divided between J.

Bruner Alleges That He Was Counted Ont, At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Prof. J, 13. Bruner walked nervously back and forth in the Millard hotel oftice. Dick Berlin smiled like a June moraing at the mews stand girl, and George Heimrod dropped a nickle in the patent scales which registered his weight at 17814, That machine 13 either out of kelter about two pounds,” said Georre, as he stepped off the platform, “or this campaign 18 beginning w tell on me. 1 am certaimly flesh.” In the meautime Chairman Curle called the republican county central commit- tee to order in the private oftice, ordored everybody out except members, and locked the doors Bruner's fwpatience grow wearisome, But there was something troudling the old man’s wind. As learned later, be bad sent acommunication to the commiitee asking for an investization, which would give him a0 opportunity to prove that he had been fairiy nominated for another term as super- intendent of public instruction at the late county convention. ‘Do you know, they call me a mascot,” said Richard to the girl whose attention he had attracted, and was making blush de- murely with one of his blandost, L-au-a-reg- art-breaker smiles. X ‘not that, but T have heard you were a great politician, Mr. Ber- lin, and hope you will be elected,’ With that” compliment Dick strutted proudly across and also dropped a nickel in the slot.
