Mr. Parker of Dorchester favored an early convention. Mr. Martin of Omaha said a lonj campaign is too much of a strain on the nery Mr. Briggs, who held the proxy of Mr Dunphy of Seward, said: *We stould hold our convention and mike our campaign with- out cousidering the likes or dislikes of the alliance people. If wo stop to consider thoir tikes and dislikes we nad bettor go out of busir.ess ut once. Wo do not want to join with eithor allisnce men or reputlicans, bug £0 on and trausact our busivpss.’ Mr. Montgomery of Omaha said that it is bad policy to fizht out a political camnpaign when the judiciary is at stake.

Mr. Montgomery —was mot ready to hew close to party lines and if the vepublicans put up tho best man for tho su- preme bench, that man would recvive his support, but lie ¢id not_believe cither tho re- publicanis or ailiance peoplo would select o itable man for tho position. He wanted o onvontion aud a short campaign, say- ing, “We do not want to flaunt our polioy in the'face of the enemy. Let them hold tholr conventions and then we will know what we haye to contend against., Mr. MeLaughlin of Lincoln thought the best plan would be to hold a late coivention and thus take advantage of the mistakes of the other partics, and also to seo if tho alli- ance people put up an acceptablo man Upon a vote being taken it was decided to hold the convention at 8 o'clock on the even- ing of September 17. “This question boing sottled tho place for holding the meeting was discussod. Lincoln and Grand Island went iuto tho field, but on the first vote Grand Island won by 'a large majorit; My, Bluedhorn moved that the apportion ment of delegates be one from cvery county and one for every 150 votes or major fraction thereot cast for the democratic candidato for secrctary of state ut the last gencral election, Mr, Martin thought this would muko an anwicldy convention and moved as an amend- neut that the apportionment bo one from cach county and one for every 550 votes cast for the democratic candidate for sscretary of stute. Tho amendment was defeated. Arcording to theapportionment the conven- tien will be composed of 516 delogates. Mr. Bluehdopn moved that deicgates be burred from giving proxies and that alter- nates be elected. This brought out an suimated discussion. Mr. Hubbell thought such a move was crowding the mourners. Ho did not like to bo bound up that way. Mu. Bluehdorn said tho democrats aro al- ways anti-monopolists and don’t like the idoa of giving their proxies to “fellows” who travel about tho country on railroad passes, Mr. Martin_ruised the question thut the matter should he settled by the convention aud that no comm! ‘0 had a right to dictate whiat a state convention shall do. The motion was luid on the table, J. Go P Hilderbeand, W, B. Sbrylord and W. M. MeLaughlin were appoiutod a vom- mittee 1o telegraph congratulutions to the democrats of lowa and Ohio, Hou, James 1.

The supreme court was touched upon and the manaer of ousting the goveruor dis- cussed, Cliaries Brown of Omaha was called out, but refused to talk, sayving, *Thore is no oo- casion for speecles, as thore is no need of telling the democrats that they have a fight on their bands they must win." William ‘Thompson, tho defeated candidate from the Third district, touched up the su- prome courtand said: *Thero are mombers ou thut bench who stooved to the plane of common politicians. We must show them that their caveer is ended and can do so in the coming campalgn if we cauvas the situ- ation thoroughly. “I hopo that each democrat bere will take hoie the henest conviction that he will help to nominate a man who represouts prinelple as well as his party.” I'he committee then adjournea to Grand Island upon the dute of the hold the couvention, Nina is Marricd, Cuieao,, July 16,—Miss Niua Van Zands and 5.
