The independent district judicial conven- tion met yesterday afternoon at Gate City hall. Allen Root was elected chairman and 8. P. Brigham was elected secrotary. After some preliminary discussion, & ro- ©cess of ten minutes was taken for the pu; Pose of caucusing upon the candidates. During the caucus Mr. Brigham of South Omaha made quite a speech, in which he hold that the convention should nominate & clear cut independent ticket, absolutely freo from all alliances with the two old parti He referred to the appointment of the four district judges last spring as being an exhi- bition of hoggishness on the part of the two old parties, and he thought that the inde- pendents should cut loose from both the democratic and republican parties. Mr. Brigham declared that the old parties were laylng plans to join hands and defeat Edger- ton, and that both the leading newspapers of Omaha, ropresenting the two old parties, bad been urging such acourse. He therefore arged a straight-out action on the part of the convention. Whenthe convention was again called to order the chairman, Allen Root, made a speech that seemed to strike a responsive etord In the minds of most of the delegates. ‘‘We have not the material in our party,' said Mr. Root, “‘to fiil all these positions on the bench. Let us tuke good meu who lean toward us, who have proven themselvos to be honest and upright in their dealings with the people; Wo are & young party and it would be folly for us to nominate men who would cause us to biush afterwards.’ Mr. N. O. Strickler spoke earnestly in the same strain, Ho believed in nominating good, strong lawyers, men of integrity and ability, who would be a credit to the conven- tion nomiuating them. His remarks were greeted by applause. Mr. Jeffcoat then moved that the conven- tion proceed to take an informal ballot for the purpose of bringing out the candidates. The representation for the four counties was as follows: Burt county, eleven dele- gates; Douglas county, twelve delegatos; Sarpy county, three delegates and Washing: ton county, seven delegates, All the couu- ties excepting Burt wero ropresented. The informal ballot showed that tho fol- lowing gentlemen had supporters in the con- vention: Lee S. Estelle, H. J. Davis, A. M. Ferguson, T.B. Minaban, L. W. Osborne, George Magney, Frank Irvine, E. Wakeloy, G. W. Covell, H. M. Hopewell and J. It. Clarkson. The seven highest stood as fol- lows: Estelle, 14 votes; Davis, 14; Fergu- won, 14; Minahan, 13; Magney, 16; Osborne, 18; Irvine, 14. 'he formal nominations were then taken up one at a time. Mr. L. W. Osborne of Blair was first placed in nomination and received the unan- imous indorsement of the convention. T.B. Minahan of Omaba was also nominated by the unanimous vote of the couvention. Juage Loe Estello was noxt nominated and tnen A. M. Ferguson. The fifth nomination was that of George A. Magoey. He received tho henflfi support of R. M. Carpenter ana Charies Nowns of Sarpy county. In fact Mr. Magney was the Sarpy county nominee. Mr. V. O. Stickler made a strong speech, in ‘which he said that while Mr. Maguey was a personal friend of his and he was in favor of recogmzing the volce of Sarpy county ir the nomination of oue of the candidates, ‘vet he believod that a stronger man for the ticket could be selected. Ha thought 1f the Sarpy county delegates wished 10 nominate a Doug- las county mar they should take some one He held that practically unknown.

He thought that Douglas county had no right to deny Sarpy county the privilege of nominating & man that would be acceptable to the people of that county. Mr. Curpenter charged that Douglas county had always tried to bullyrag Sarpy county in conventions, and with tho assistance of the Union Pacific kad cheated Barpy county out of everything that was ‘worth mentionng. Mr. Strickler resented the idea that ho had any interost whatever in common with the Union Pacific. Mr. Strickler ther nomimated Judge H. J. Dayis. Both names were vntea for, Maguey ro- Teiving 11 votes and Davis 10 votes. Mag- ney was declared the fifth nomineo of the ‘convention. . Mr. Davis was again brought before the oonvention by Mr. Strickler and was unani- mously endorsed as the sixth nominee. There was some talk at this juncture of leaving one vacancy to be filled by Burt county, but the sentiment of the convention was in favor of proceeding with the nomin- ton of the seventh candidate. The names of Frank Irvine and E. Wakeley were suggested. Mr. Root said: “Gentlemen, I have just this to say about the nomination of Judge Wakeley, He stands in & position to bo selocted by the democrats and republicans as a compromise candidate to defeat Judgo Edgerton for the supremo court. We cannot afford to run such a risk. To nominate Judge ‘Wakeley today might urge on this fusion of the two old parties, and it would draw the fire out of our ticket." Frank Irvine was nominated as seventh candidate and then all tho nominations were © unanimous. Tho following gentlomen were solected as o Judicial contral committee: Douglas county =D, C. Deaner and J. H. Taylor; Sarpy Charles Nownes: Burt—William ~Berry; Washington—J. C. Wrignt. The committeo was structed to fill all vacancies that may take place on the ticket. After the convention adjourned the coanty central committee met and electad an execu- tive committoe composed of V. O. Strickler, Jomes Kinney, A. Miller, S. D. Rynearson J. K. McComber. ‘The county convention will be held on Sat- urday, September 12, The primaries will bo held September 10, ‘The central committes passed a resolution asking Mr. Strickler to propare a careful ox- planation of the Australian ballot law to be published in the nowspapers of the state. Judge Wakeley Not a Candidate. “In tonight's Be," said Mr. V. O. Strick- JJer, “I am quoted as saying that Judge “Wakeloy was o candidate for the supreme bench, and, for that roason, it was unwise for the lndependents to place him upon their ticket. This is o mistake. I at no time said that he was a candidate for the suprome beuch. A reporter for Tuk Bek priorto the meoting of the convention handed me a list of names of the probanle uominoes, and 1 ro- marked that I thought there was some doubt about Judge Wakeley's nomfmation, owing 1o the fact that bo had been mentioned in connection with the supromo judgeship. As & mattor of fact I know that Judge Wakoley A3 not a candidate for the position," pracaiah i An Old Adage.

The coming aonual conference of the Methodist church to be held in this city the second week in September suggests a fora- cast of the probable changes, if any, that may take place in the personnel of tho Meth- odist clergy in Omaha, The congregation of the First Mothodist church has requested the return of Rev. P. S. Merrill for anothor year, and ho will un- rowmain, M. Brown of the Hanscom Park church will romain another year. Rev. Crano of the Soward stroet churoh, Rev. Boans of Trinity and Rev. Webster of the Walnut Hill church will in all probability be returned to their present charges. Rev. Allon of the Castellar Streat church and Rov Bross of Monmouth Park will also be roturned according to the presont scho- dule. Rev. Hodgetts of the South Tenth Street church will probably go to New Mexico to take charge of the missions there. In all probability the Newmuan Methodist church will be closed and abandoned and Rev. Ware will be assigned to some other charge in the conforeace. This hus been an untortunate and unsuccessful church entor- priso frora the beginning and the prominent members of the congrogation have about con- cluded that the burden had better be laid down and the membership united with other churchos where they can assist in building up tho churches that have a better chanca, 10 copo with the financial burdens that must be borue by all church organizations. Revy Ware bus aoue excellont work since he took hold of the chargo at the Newman church, but the membership is small and the finan! cfal burdon very heavy, The property will probably bo sold back to the partios from vhom it was purchased. The Jewish Congregational of Isranl has decided not to build u new templo at present on Harney street as was contemplatod en in the summer.

Tate is Partly Demented. 1t is & question now whother Paul B. Tate, the young bank clerk who is accused of ab- sconding with $5,000 belonging to the Merchants' National bank, is not insane. Judging from all the circumstances sur- rounding the case he is certainly demented. About threo weeks ago J. H. Tate, father of the young mau and a business man of high standing, received a telegram from his erring son dated New Orleans, Tho opening sen- tonco read: “Sail for Havana today,” and this was followed by broken sentences oon- veylng no meaning. Notning further was heard from hum until tou days ago, when a leuter was received from him dated at Ogden. This stated that ne had secn tho Omaha papers containing the account of his flght. Ho denied his guilt emphatically ana said ho could prove his innocence boyond any question. He asked his father's advice as to tho best course to pursue in order to settle the matter. ‘The lotter also stated thut Paul had taken thoname of F. M. Lawrence. ‘The rest of the letter, somo three or four pages, con- tained nothing but disjointed seutences with no discernible meaning. Mr. Tato at once wrote to his son aud ad- vised him to meet Mr. B. B. Wood, give himsolf up and explain tho wholo situu- tion. In reply to this letter a_telogram was ro- ceived from Paul at Gunnison asking whore ho should meot Mr. Wood. To this the fathor tolographed him to meet Mr. Wood at Pueblo A second telogram was received from Gun- nison, roading as follows : 1801 —J.

BurweLt, Neb., Aug. 20,—[Special to Tur Bee. |—71'hree o'clock this morning witnessed the close of the first judicial convention under the auspices of the new party in this town. All day yesterday politics were rife in Burwell, and at 9 o'clock last night musio was in the air. Two candidates were to be nominated for district judge, one to fill the unexpired term of F. B. Tiffany and one to succeed Judgo Havrison. Aspirants were thick, but only seven wero placed in nomina- tion in the convention. Each oneof the seven, though, wgs in it to stay. They were Thompson of Hall, Carter of Lonp, Doyle of Greeley, Martz and Norman of Valley, Welch of Blaine, and Bartley of Garfleld. Chairman Sillik called the assem- bly to order and after a temporary organiza- tion was effected, committess on credentials and permanent organization wers sent out. It was suggested that some time would be occupied in preparing the reports and speeches were called for from the aspirants for judicial honors. After some five or six had expressed themselves as being fully cloansed from all republican and democratic pollution the committees announced their readiness to roport. But one of the dplegates whose candi- date bad not been heatd from made stronu- ous objection to this and; being sustalned by the chair, the speaking was kept open until 11 p. m. 'Nominations now being declared in order, seven nanes were mentioned and the parties were appropriataly eulogized. On the first ballot It was evident that things were not as unanimous as might be, but wood order was kept throughout five ballots, when it was:aunounced that J. R. Thompson had received 35 out of the 68 votes cast. Mr. Thompson Was then unanimously declared the choice of the convention and tha mill ground oa. o Ballot after ballot was had, with Doyle of Groeley in the lead, but’the voters outside of his immediate supporters changed from one candidate to the other,, . No proxies wore al- lowed in tho conventlon, = County after county was called at#''“‘passed.” "On the ninth ballot i% became evident that Bartley was winner ana oy county delogates went wild. Patrick Barry, when the chair- man bewan to announce the vote, called a bult and porsuaded the chairman to say he Was not sure as to the result ana ordered a new call of counties. On this call Bartley received 40 out of 63 votes, and was declared the rominee. Broien's woa aucus.
