The proscenium boxes wore reservod for ladies, and half an hour was required for each upportionment to be discovered and then in their shirt sleeves and _with breath- less uttention the delegates and the auditors awaited the call to order. Tho assembl ize in the opening was not acterized by the enthusiasm which en- livens republican and even democratic con- ventions, Tt allwed its old var horses to enter and tuke their seats without evincing the slightest knowledgo of tueir presence. The Silurian colored quartette of Lincoln sang “As We Go Marching to Victory” and evoked yells and sccured a second recall. Opening the Convention.

[Loughter. | Mr. Poynter Presided. The motion prevailed and Senator Poynter advanced to the stage amidst a salvo of chicers. In assuming the gavel he said ho desired to thank the delegatos for the groat compliment they had paid him in selecting nhim to preside over so largo and important a. convention. Before commancing busi- ness he had a request to make of them and that was that each delegate would consider himself the dignity of the convention. [Cheers.] They had not met for pleasure but for business, The; had been sent by the peoplo to select candi- dates for high state ofiices, and they should fulfill their mission without personal am- bition, and sole for the benefit of the state. Tho welfare of Nebraska wis in their hands, because the men whom thoy wore to seloct wera to fill the proud oftices to which they wore to bo nominated.

The motion prevaled and the chair appointed the following: Hudson of Gage, Eider of Clay, Root of Douglas and Avery of Boone. Congressman Kemaspoke. On motion of 0d of Dodgo, Congressman lKem was cal the stage for a speech. Mr. Kom sal hardly adequate to the oceasion. It recalled to bis mind & gathering in that same hall three years ago, when a little handful had gath- ercd ws it were from the four winds of heaven and advocated the same principles which the party was now advocating—unamely, that justico should be meted out to everyone lrrespective of color or creed. He was glad to feel that the movement had grown as it had, ‘The luborer had never had so much reason to bo glad for anything as he bad for witness- iug that progress. The progress of tho party wis the greatest phonowmenon ever known. ‘There was nothing to be compared to 1t in the aunuls of history. The prohecies of their onemies thut the party wis a mushroom growth and would oon disapvear had fallen 10 the ground, and they wereconfronted with the erandest success which had attended any movement of the American people. Mr. Kem then spoke of the principle of lib- erty which undeviaia the movement which, while sometimes causing rivers of blood, al- Ways rose bigher and grander as it advanced in the world. Ho then spoke about the rob bery of corporations. There were combina- m- tions which through tho manipulation of the muchiuery of the povernment doprived poo plo of things which they could not get along without. Ho scouted the idea that tho inde- vendents were anarchists and that they had Bt shown Proper respect to the flag ou the Fourth of July. They would not accomplish all they sought to accomplish uutil they should have secured control of both houses of congress, the executive and the courts, When they' should have gained their point they would have a state supreme court which would know better than to mandamus the legislature. [Cheers. That Calamus Flag, Mr. Kem then took up the Calamus pre- not flag which it was claimed bad been - Itod by an independent named McCall on July 4. “The flag was a long piece of mushn With white sud red stripes, i oue coruer of which had been sowed a small toy American fiag wich paiated stripes and the proper num- ber of stars, Thls be claimed wade as per fect a flag as ever was made and relieved Mr. MeCall of all the opprobrium which had beco cast upou him, An old gentleman named John Snvder from Sherman then called for three cheers for the flag, which were given with a will. On motion it was decided to kuep the flag with which to remember the old parties. Mr, Powers was called for, and suggested that they should act like brothers, aud that in every move of theirs thoy should display that principle which accorded equal rFights to all. How to do that he would leave it to their consciences 1sible surgestions as to tha kind of mon should nominate, comprising both abil- jty and integrity and devotion to the princi- ples of the party and the welfare of the people. Master Workman Dech Orate: M., Dech, master workman of the Knights ibor wis called for and received with rs. He made a ringing speech and was cheered throughout, He was amazed to sce how the imdevendent party was going all to picces, (Laughter.) 'They were there for a purnoso, They should do their work weil. should renember that they had left their homes, their wifos and children to serve the cause of the people. They might laugh today, but these were serious times, They had 'two great organizations to fight, two monstrous dragons, which had dragged them down,' down, down deeper for tho last twonty-five years, At last the time had come for them to leave the old parties. Thoey could no longer stay in those ranks. It was difficalt to slip the ties of party and religious belief, but now the stopped out. The republican and demc cralic parties in Nebrasia were bad, The in- dependents had failed in one duty, and that was that thoy bad not burned them. |iaugh- ter. | Theso were warm days apd a_grear stench would certainly be occasioned, but it would Vo coolor iater, and in the month of Novem- ber they would bury those parties 8o de that their stench would never be felt again, [Groat applause. | Mr. Dech then dire ted himself to the of- s to be fitled and ed those who did come there for porsonal aggrandizement to put such uuworthy thoughts out of their winds, [Crics of “Good.”"] There was no niecessity to bo highly cultured in order to be a good ofticial, He did not need to be cul- turea to be honest. It was no disgrace to be culture!, but if a candidate bad sound horse sense and was put ou the ticket, sy should tako off their coats and work day and night to elect. Salvation in Sight. Mr. Dech then paid his attention to the journalistic enemics of the ndependents and advised the delogates to pay o attention to them. When they advised tham what to do they should remember that if they wanted to &0 to hoaven, and he thought thoey all wanted 0 go there, they ought to lnow that they would 1ot z0 to Satan_ in order to learn how to wet thero, [Laughter.] They as farmers wore not alone mortgaged. ‘Their children wore mortgaged, and not only their childred, but theiv chilaren’s children, yet unborn. The speaker then roferred to the” finances of the country and showed that the indebted- ness of the United States was £30.000,000.000, which had been hanging over it for years. “That was a debt which they as_toilers would have to pay. That was i debt which had been contractod under the most favorable circumstances. He then spoke n sovero terms of those who, during the prosporous years since the war, had plunged tho country into that great debt. For denouncinz them he had been called a robel, and yet he wore upon his bosom the brand of a rebel bullet. Combared 1o those men who had plunged tho people 1uto debt Jefferson Davis. tho arch traitor, was a saint. If that was treason then he would say, like Patrick Henry, Lot them make the best of it.” He then admonished them to support the independents and save their wives and chi dren, Mr. Dobson of Fillmore then spoke elo- quently in favor of the party for about ten minutes. Goneral Van Wyck was catled for, but de- clined to speak, as the supper hour was near at_hand. The committee on credentials through Al- len Root reported that delegates were cutitled to 652 votes and -that scventy-six counties wera represented. Mr. Shrader wanted the names read, but the convention objected. The report of the committee was adoptod. On motion of Mr. V. O. Strickler a com- mittee on resolutions was named by the chair as follows: Mossis. Powers of Hitcheock, Gaunt of Lincoln, Lowrey of Luncaster, Strickler of Douglas and Porter of Merrick. Tt was decided that all resolutions would be referred to the committee without detute, and a recoss was tuken till evening. MeUall the Mareyr. The convention reassembled at 8:39. The temperature of the theater was like that of a blast furnace. The Hastings d and Silurian quartette eatertained the audi- eaco with instrument?l and vocal music. A deloerate requested that ull the ‘deluded” independent soldiers in the delegations stand up. Three- fourths of the delegates arose amid cheers, The resolution adopted by Foote post No. 40, Grand Army of the Republic, exonerating Comrade Donald N. McCall from the charges of disloyalty at Calumus on the Fourth was ordered rend. Mr. Root of Douglas wanted no more time spent in bunting down republican and demo- cratic lies. They could tell four lies whiloe oue was being run down. Senator Van Wyck wantod no lost. T’he oMicers could be while tho resolution was being Tho resolution was vead. Mr. Althen of Gage wanted the resolution referred to the Stats Jouraal. more time nominated nuuted for, Mr. Sterwood--The resolution was re- forrod to it and the Journal refused to pritit. he resolution was so referrea: . General Van Wyck moved that they pro- feed to nomioate oficers. A aelezate claimed it could not be done without a plat- form. The chair held that that question could be decided by the convention. The lattor decided not to nomnute until after the resolutions had boen reported. A dolegato from Sheridan wanted the nom- inees to come before the convention und tell Low they stood upon the Cincienati plat- form, A delazate from Colfax amended so as to substitute the platform adopted by this convention. Auother delegate ioved that no nomiuations be made until the platiorm had been reported. This led 1o w series of amendments and the whole matter was laid on the table.

AMONG THE LELIDERS, What Some of Them Spoke About in the Lobby, Senator Saunders of Saunders county, of tho most silent men whom a constituency ever sent to a logislature was among the del- cgates, - While at Lincoln he never made a speceh and it is bel ho scarcely ever wade a motion. His disposition has tot been changed by unother season i the cornfield, but he seems to have the coufidence of s people. Charles Pirtle, secretary of the inde- pendent executive committee, seeretary of the senate and would-have-been secretary of Mr. Powers, nad the latter been elected gov- ornor, looks as sunburned as the color of his mustiche, from exposure in tho corn field. Mr. Pirtle was a somewhat inexperienced young man when the success of the independ- onts brought him into public attention, but he has made excellent use of his opportunity, and onjoys tho confidence and frieudship of every member of his party. Scuutor Stevens of Lincoln county, th wuthor of the railroud bill, which was, intended s [y rival of that of Newberry, and which was pigeon-noled by a senate committee, here, bronzed and ruddy, enthusiastic over his farm and the crop prospects of the state. The senator was a warm supporter of Beach I Hinman of North Platte for su- preme judge. Ho claimed the latter was the first to congratulate him when he was nomi- nated in a doubtful community for the state senate, and the fitst in that néighborhood to contribute u dollar to the campaign fund, Tho seuator made several strong bids for popularity in the legislature lust session, and as u resuft has been nominated by his part for treasurer of Lincoln county, He pro- j0ses, with the assistance of a little margin io may have from the products of his fary to live, if elected, upon the salary of the office of treasurer, leaving the interest on the funds in_his possession o go to the county, This is independent doctrine practiced for the first time in several counties two years ago. The senutor says he has good” crop prospeets but iutimates that b ittle more” by “holding onto" his wheat He will not say, however, whether miny farmers in his neighborhood propose to do the samo thing with their grain A distinguished fieure among the delegates is “Old Dun Freeman' us be is called. ~But he is old ouly because he has a gray be: and a_ruddy complexion, which iutensifies the whitenéss of the latter. Ho is as strong sud sturdy as an oak, dresses well and is noted all the conntry over as having been the tto profit by the homestead law. His w is about four miles outside Beatrico aan is in comfortable circumstances and 14 wa as it will, ille ot North Platte, a right hand friend of Judge Hinman, is here with his long beard aud intellectual countenance, He seems Just &s much at bowme, however, as ho did when he formerly woved snd led demo- cratic aggregations. Geueral Vau Wyck's arrival attracted the Ny *muke i A attention of the throng at tho Bostwick as this moruing, at 1 o'clock, he walked from the B. & M. depot. Tho gencral received in . hisroom gl Jay, and strongly favored har- mony in & 2 ‘pvention y Bud 7 " felt contident this morning that oppos\ =% Yo hiin would die out, because 1t was due \ .y, as he claimed, to_private spite. “Bul\ % Z'will bave to pull in his horns,” sald\ % Sech, “otherwiso he will lose whatever infl\ % |\ he hus had in the party. 1t is all folly 1 ose that the independ ents will be did to by him. But it woula not be advisubld \y event to_consure him in a convention, it would be allowablo to strike him wha descrves it ail along the lin Burrows' enemio 1 te has hunareds of yim, admit that ha o nothing by the at- made on him by ho Adams county in- devendents, They claim thay the act was in- spired by friends of Ragan whom Burrows had criticized. Ragan wants the judgeship judicial disteict and several countles in the latter have already pro- nounced against him. In Buffalo county, it is claimed, e secured two men on the delega- tion, and when this fact was discovered both of tho delegutes were given tha option of de- clining to act or forswearing the ex-railroad attoruey. It is asserted that tuey acceptod the lutter alternative. Burrows’ frionds as- sert that Iugan’s frionds 1 this county have cost him his nomination. 1 the Tenth in Senator Poynter, president pro tem of the scuate, openly admitted today that ho propesed to hold his grain until the latter commanded a price which would satisfy him. “Toduy,'" he said to Tux Bre man, “i could got about 60 cents a bushel, while ' in Chicago it would sell for about §1.10. Wheat will run up to £1.25 by January 1, and later may go higher than that. 1 am eoiug to hold my whoat till then. I baven't heard of any othor farmer who 18 not goiug to do thd same thing. | don't mean to say that | want or that we waut to establish a corner, but I do say that we aro going to excreise the right to get for our grain just what it is worth, Why shouldn’t the farmer regulato the price of his products! fHe is the only one who does not put a price upon his prop- erty. Kvery other producer can say at what price you muy buy what he raises. But u gang of specilators and gamblers have been for years dictativiz at what prices we shall sell. They won'tdo it this year.” Tue Bk correspondent bis made a pretty general canvass of the opinions of the dela- gates on this subject and the prevailing senti ment among those who can afford 5o to do favors holding the grain until the demand becomes imperitlve and the price will result in a fortune. o General Leese eaused some excitement by his presence. Friends of Kagerton supposed he had come to contest with the latter in the raco for the suprome benet and did not feel very comfortable over the fact ocithor. But the'general assured them that he was not a candidate for the oftice in question and that he would take no part in the contest. He bolieved that Eidgerton had a prior right to the place and would get it. “The independents,” said the general, “have without any request from me nomi- nated me for district judge in Lancaster and I have felt that | was in duty bound to accept the nomnation, That satifics me. | feol that I shall boelected. Lincoln has gono wild with mdependents and I should not bo surprised if we should poll 2,000 votes.” Mr. Powers moves among the delegates in his peculiarly quict and inoffensive manner, and seems to be thinking of the time when he will again muke au attempt to reach the gubernatorial chair, Theve are not as many members of the last, house here as had boen expcocted, and of those here mot all are defegates. ' Among those noticed were: Sodermau of Phelps eounty, Modi of Red Willow, Elder of Clay, Storms of Nemaha, Curtis of Madison, Kulton of Harlan, Felton of Nuckolls, Strader of Logau, Goddard of Frouiier, Honry of Holt, I'anh of Colfux, Portor o Morrick and Newberry of Hamilton. Every one of these secined proud to have been member of the legislature, oven though he could scarcely point to any act which might secure his fare. They all looked hiappy, too, be cause they told the musical story of wheat, -ve, acres of corn and countless bushels of small grain, which would go far toward re- moving foréver from their minds the recol- lection of the blasted fields and hopes of 1801, SUBSCRIBE NOW.

I am sure that under these influences you must all find inspiration for good citizenshin, and 1t is pleasant to know what you rejoice in has left its impres- sion on the hearts of our people, Far awa on the Sacrumento, as well as upon the Hud- son, men love the fing of Washington. [Ap- platse.] Tam glad to be with you for & mo- ment today in passing to the observances in Vermont of one of those great events which led to tho independence of our country, We havea great common intevest as a people, and, while we divide in the methods by which we form the national prospevity, I am sure we are sl devoted in heart to the country that hus oblained so much for us, the country for which brave men have died, and for which brave men will yet die if occasion should eall for such a sucrifice. In the inter- est of good governmont—we are divided metimes in the methods by which it is ob- tained—we are conscerated in_ the one pur- pose: That this government shall be so ad- ministered that the veople shall sharo in its henetits and that no favored class shall usurp it; its being for everybody equally, spreading suushine in all homes and upon ull law-abia: ing people.
