'WENTY-FIRST BROADS WILL BE NOMINATED. Unterrified Hosts ;;-ing to the Grand Island Convention, WILL GOVERNOR BOYD BE SUSTAINED? That the State Platform are for Some Sort of . gislation— The Outlook, Intimation Will Dec Tailr @naxp Tsnaxn, Neb,, Sept. 16, —|Special to Tuk Bra.|—The democratic state conven- tion which meets hero tomorrow is absorbing the attention of democrats and republicans alike. The former anticipate trouble and the Iatter are but too willing to encourage the sentiment by which it will be occasioned. Tho question upon which the convention may split is upon a proposed endorsement of Governor Boyd's action in vetoing the Now- berry bitl. It is said that anumber of coun- ties have instructed their delegates to pass a ution of censure, among them being Holt, Wayne, Stanton, Howard, rick and & number of others. Yer, on the delegations from thoso counties there are a number of men who are personally known to bo friendly to Governor Boyd. With regard to tho standiug of the Hall v delegation on this subject, the views of Mr. 8. N. Wolbach, who is a’member of the body, may represent those of the demo- crats of tho county ‘Hall county has not instructed Its dele- gates to either censure or endorso the veto of the Newwerry bill by Governor Boyd. It has remained neutral. But if a resolution en- dorsing that action be mtroduced it will be voted down by our delegates.. With the principles of the democratic party in tho eastorn part of tho stato wud’ country we are in accord. But on tho rail- road question theirs slightly differ from ours, They have not to deal with the railroad rates and regulations as we have and thoy are no, presumed to bo_interested as we are. There is not a democrat inHall county who does not believe Goyernor Boyd to be a man of fearloss principles, honest, aud deter- mined and who would not personally tako off his cont and work for him for almost any- thing he might desire.” Judge Platte, who for ycars has been a 1ight in the democratic gloom, says that if he had been selected a delegate to the conven- tion, he would move to lay all resolutions of censure or endorsement on the table. 'The judge is dissatistied because ho was left off the comm ittee, While the feeling of local democrats is above epitomized, it is not believed that the same fecling extends throughout tho stato. It 18 held Lhat there are many courties which take no interest in the fighi and which will be represented here by staunch supporters of Mr. Boyd. A great deal of interest is feit as to tho complexion or intent of the Dougla delegation, in which rumor has it toer men who will never endorse Mr. Boyd. This rumor is somewhat strengthened by tho membership on the commities of Messr Charles H. Brown, J. J. O’Connor au Juclid Martin, The'two former it is known have been persistent opponeuts of Boyd only to find that their opposition has resulted in their own demoralization. Sowe difficulty is expected in the sclectior of chairman of the convention. Conservative men hold that 1t would boe impolitic to select either a Boyd or an anti-Boyd man and that some fair-minded man who has not figured s n partisan should be decided upon. ~Not- withstanding, the names of C. V. Gallagher and Euclid Martin of Omaba, N. 5. Har- wood and A. J. Sawyer of Lincoln and S. N. ‘Wolbach of Grand 1sland have been men- tioned in connection with tle position. Mr. Wolbach’s name, however, will not be pressed by the Hall delegation. They are satisfied to hold tho convention without monopolizing other honors, ‘The sentiment prevails that Judee Broady of Beatrice will be chosen by acclamation as nominee for associate justico of the supreme court, Judge Wakeloy of Douglas would be warmly supported if it wero known that ho would accept the nominatiou if tendered him, For regent of the university, the only can- didate known here is C. F. Brogan of Doug- 1 'The conveution will be held in the Barten- bach opera house. The delegates will oc- cupy the ground floor, while the specta- tors wili bo quartered on tho stage and in the gallery. The Douglas delegation numbering 108'will occupy nearly all of the eastern section of the auditorium, tho Lan- caster county being assigred to a correspond- ing section on the westside. The couvention will not be called until § o'clock p. m, and very likely continue all night. 1t is understood that the platform of the party is being prepared in Omaha and that it will_ be more definite in regard to railrond regulation than was that upon which con- servative men admit Governor Boyd stood when he vetoed the Newberry bill and which they also admit justified him in the veto on the ground that the bill in question was not a reasonable one.

Rusu Crry, Mionn,, Sept. 16,—A sad acol dont occurred at the farm house of John Daunchen, two miles from here.

He will take stops to have an investigation at Wash- ington unless Director General Davis is re 1 on the ground of his unfitness for the PHErs SENSATIONAL JUSTICE, Trial of a Kansas Murderer That Will Attract Attentio Hugortos, Kan., Sept. 16.—The case of tho stato against James Bronnan, charged with the murder of the noted Sam Wood last June, was commenced today in the district court. The feud which lea to the murder, the crime itself and events following it were of the most exciting and sensational character and such it was supposed would the trial be, Judgo Botkin, however, before whom the trial is being biad, determined that it should not be. To enforce this determination he has issued peremptory orders to the court's bailiffs to maintain order in and about the court. He warned them that they would be held accountable for any disturbanco that might arise, and told them that it W their duty to soe that no man entered the court room with weapons on his porson. Not only were thoy to attend to that, but t were especially charged to see that no peison carrying firearms of any de- seription was allowed to approach the build- ing, especially the windows. Should auyone attempt to do this, after they were warned, the_ bailiffs wero strictly enjoined to place such partios under arrest for contempt of court, Tho timo of the court was occupied today in examiuing jurors. A jury had uot been selected when the court’ adjourned for the day. “Tho killing of Sam Wood was one of the most notable crimes in the latter history of Knusas, Its remote cause was the enmity which arose between the citizons of Hugoton and Woodsdalo over the location of the county seat, which afterwards resulted in & battle botween the people of the two towns, in which four men were killed and scveral wounded. Following tkat and as a vesult of it occurred the noted murder of Sheriff Cross and several of his deputies. During all this time Sam Wood and Judee Botkins were on opposite sides of the question and were bitter encmies. Finnlly Judge Botkin gained an upper hand by defeating Wood for district judgo on ~ the republican ticket. 'hen Woods joined the alliance and was clectod by that party to the lower house of tho Kansas legislature, whero his knowl- cdge of parliamentary usages induced the alliance caucus to appoint him a steering committes of one. While tho legislature was in session ho caused impeachmont pro- ceedings to bo brought against Judge Bot- kin, alleging all sorts of judicial misbe- bavior. Judge Botkin was "acquitted, but tho trial again imbittered the old feud be- tween the two men and their friends. Just aftor the close of tho legislative session Sam Wood went to Hugoton to attend Judgo Bot- kin’s court. Ho had entered the court, had looked over thedocket and was leaving tho building when James Brenuan an acknowl- edged friond of Judgo Botkin shot and killed him (Wood). g A peculiar circumstance of the trial 1s that Judge Botkin prosides. The friends of Sam Woods have sworn that justice must be done 1n this case. They say Brennan must suffer the death penalty 1fnot by judicial sentence then by the sentence of Judge Lynch, All sorts of threats have been made against Judgo Botkin and it was on that account that the judge issied his strin- vent orders regarding the disarming of nll at- tendants of the trail. e P e FOREIGN EXHIBITORS AT THE FAIR. Customs Regulations Will Be Mod- ified in Their Favor, WasniNaToy, D. C., Sept. 16,—The confer- cnce betweon the World's fair foreign com- missioners and oflicers of the Treasury de- partment respecting modification of certain features of the customs regulations so as to faciliate free entry of foreign exhibits at the fair, was held at the Treasury department this mormng. The foreign commissioners argued that the customs regulations be so arranged as to per- mit tho sale, under proper restrictions, of certain kinds of articles to be placed on ox- hibition at Chicago. The United States commissioners made that plain that the suggestions brought for- ward embodied the wishes of the intended oxhibitors in every European nation visited by them. Secretary Foster sald: “We will en- deavor to answer your questions by the sth of October when you will return home, and to modify our regulations as faras we possibly can. Be assuved that I desire to promoto your iishes. If after investiga- tion it proves that further legislation is needed to thisend, I will ask congress to take the necessary action at the coming session.” It was practically determined that the de- partmont regulations would be so adjusted to the requiremsnts of tho exposition_ year that ISuropean exhibitors can ship exhibits direct from their own ports to the exposition grounds in Chicago without examination, appraisoment or delay in transit. At the conclusion of the conference the commissioners proceeded to the white house where thoy wero received by the president. e NOT A JUDICLAL QUESTION. Decision Involving Title to the Chero- iee Strip. e, Okl, Sept. 16.—Judge Green of tho United States court today gave his de- cision 1n the noted ““Quarry” case, involving tho title to the Cherokeo strip, holding that the lands in the Cherokee outlet were ceded to the Cherokeo nation as an outlet, and for the purposes of an outlet only, and not for residence and cultivation, and in such case the law annexes the qualification or condi- tion that the estate shall continue in the Cherokeo nation only so loug as the lands are used as an outlet and no longer, and when the Cherokee nation ceases' to use the land as an outlet such cessation of the use determines their estate aud the lands revert to the United States, I the Cherolee fuation has ceased to use the lands as outlet such action has terminated the estate and the lands have reverted to the: United States. But whether there has been such cessation is & pohitical rather than a juaicial question, and should be settled by congross and the chief executive of the na- tion, R WEALHER FOKECAST, For Omaba and Vicinity--Fal cooler.

LB 1% DANFORTH Attorney Gener: .. 8IMON ROSENDALA State Enginecr............ MARTIN SCHENCK Sanatocs, N. Y, Sept. first served, was the order cratic convention in the Casino rink this morning, as there had been many more tickets of admission issued than thore wero chairs, One of the most notable fizures that passed up the aisles of the old rink this morning was that of ap elderly gentieman, thoroughly well dressed. Many politicians and others nudged each other and whispered loudly, “T'hat's Burchard.” It was Kev. Dr. Bur- chard of New York, and on all sides where he was recognized he mot the chaffing, which greeted him in a genial, hearty way. The larger part of the County democracy went home yesterday disgusted with the ro- sult of their efforts to get seats in the con- vention. A significant thing was that the resolution which was offered, after tho report of the committeo on contested seats, giving the Tammany hall the only recognition as the rezular democratic organization for tno county of New York, was adopted by a viva voce voto apparently unanimous, but pro- cceding almost wholly from Tammany seats. Not a protest of any sort came from Kings or Albany or any of the other counties from which support for the County democracy was expected. When the platform was read General Tracey of Albany manifested much uncasi- ness, rising in_ his seat so he could hear every word until the silver clause was safely passed. When a big Tammany outburst of applause had followed this—the loudest and most demonstrative greeting given to any- thing in the platform—he sat down with an air of relief and immersed himself in his newspaper. At 10 o'clock the convention was called to order. The committee on credentials recited the irregular action of the County democracy and declared the right of Tammany hall to nomi- nate all the inspectors of election, poll clerks and ballot clerks to which the democratic party nay bo entitled in the city of New York. After the decision in regard to the County democracy was presented tho committee on resolutions reported the platform. It pladges fidelity to the democratic party as regards national issues, and the doctrines of 'S4 and '88 are re-atfirmed. N The platform pronounces against the coin- age of any dollar not of the intrinsic value of every other doilar of the United States; de- nounces tho new Sherman silver bili as a false pretense and a hindrance to free bi- metallic coinage and as tending only to produce a change from one kind of monometalism to unother. This bill is de- clared to be a fit appendix to tho “subsidy and bounty swindle of MecKinley, worso than the war tariff. The Blaine reciprocity hum- bug, the squandering of the surplus, falsified representation, and the revolutionavy pro- ceedure of the billion dollar congress—all are justly condemued by the people’s great up- rising of last November.” The people of the stato are_congratulated upon the beneficient results which followed tho election of the democratic assembly last yoar. The republican party is scored for de- Toating in the assembly bills passed by tho democrats. Continuing the platform reads: “Thus has the republican varty continued to betray tho people’s interests. It defies the constitution and denies fair representation in the legislature to 1,300,050 new inhabiiants of the state by refusing to pass an enumer- ation bill. It iuflicted a blow upon th bost walfare and prosperity of tho statoby depriving New York of the World's fair bo- cause the republican leader could not control its board of directors, By that act New York was deprived of tho benefit of the ex- penditure of hundreds of millions of dollars within her borders. The people will not for- got the most conspicuous agent in this parti- sau crime, now tho candidate of his party for governor.” Tue platform favors home rule for counties and mupicipalities, low taxes and an eco- nomical administration; demands the enact- ment of a just, equitable and comprehensive exciso liquor law, framed in accordance with existing public sentiment as re- peatedly manifested; opposes all sump- tuary legislation that needlossly in- terferas with porsonal liberty for the indi- vidual citizen; demands tho extension of the electoral reform with a view to preventing the profuse expenditure of money by candi- dates; favors tho revision of the tax luws whereby personal and corporate property shall bo made to bear its full and just bur- dens, Tho resolutions also declare that labor in- terests should bo fostered. A legislative pro- vision for a proper exhibit from the stato at the World’s Columbian_exposition is advo- cated. The oppression and expatriation prac- ticed by tho Kussian government upon its Jewish citizens is condemned and the govern- ment at Washington is called to bring about & cessation of these cruel persecutions. In closing, the administration of Governor Hill is endorsed and the faithful dischargo of responsibility is declared to justify the con- tinuance of the trust imposed in him by tne democratic porty. The resolutions were adopted with cheers. The following was also passed : Resolved, That this conve tfication the growing friendly fe ward the democratic party of our colored Cltizens of (s stute and thoy are wolcomed to our ranks. with the assurance that within our purty, discrimii fon on uccount of race or color Is discountenanced, Then a motion was made to_proceed with nominations und Mayor Porter nominated Roswéll P, Flower for governor. The nom- ination was seconded on behalf of Tammany by Colonel Fellows, Bourke Cockran also soconded tno nomination of Flower. Thomas Dewitt of Kings placed Alfred C. Chapin in nomination for governor, Flower was nominated on the first hallot— Plower, #34; Chapin, 43.

The committee on permanent organization presented its report as follows _We, a large number of the members of the Faruier's Alllance and Industrial union, rop- resenting our constituents, in convention us- sembled, being desirons of settling the difte cuces cAisting i our order, agree to the appointment of a committee of seven i bers, who are authorlzed to go_ beforo supreme council of the Farmer's Alllance Industeial Uni which conv at Indianapoli mit 1o of the and government land loan schemes) were adopted by the supreme council at its meeting in Ocala, I'l lttee is uuthorized and 0d 1o use its own dis- eret i Pending these ne cablesettlenent of our di eo iorewith provided for shall constitute a bureau of information, and shall use all lexitimate informing the subordinate unions ple in re- curd to the truc views and principles now en zuzing the attention of the industriul classes §; 10 be authorized and suitablelit- anldevise ways and moans {or pav- all expensss of_an educ mpalgn. d commiittee is author o eall a con vention of anti-sub-tr Drethre throu untey to consider the report of the as the result of the conter- ence with the suprema council. and may fix the time and place of meeting, und make such otherarrangements as inay b deemed neces- sary.

McAllister and W, Pope Yeamans. ‘Then came ono of the most important declarations ot the convention. It has been maintained right along by many of the dele- gatos and some even went so far last night as to give out to the press that a new state organization in Missouri had been organized, that this convention was for the express purpose of seceeding from the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial union and form anew body in opposition to the present organization. ~ A. S. Smith of Missouri wanted to protest against the erroncous articles which appeared in print and offerod the following vhich was adopted unan- imously: Whereas, Tho tmpression has galned some credence that eitner the primary or ultinmute object of this mecting is fov the purpose of affecting & separation or division of the ordes and_the formation of a district organization, therefora be it Resolved, That such purpose Is not and has notat any'time been the intention of this meeting, but that its object is purely one of expressing Its opposition to the proposed sub- treasury and land loan ennctmients, and to institute an educational movemont in that direction, thereby bringing the orgunization back to those prineipies of wisdom, justice and fraternity on which 1t was originally bused. The convention then took a recess until the e compete h 9 p.

CHAS, W, ALLEN NAMED FOR GOVERNOR. Principles and Record of the Party set Forth in Well Rounded Periods by Henry Cabot Lodge. CHARLES W. ALLEN JOHN W, KIMBALL Bostoy, Mass., Sept. 16.—When Chairman Burdette of the state committee called tho republican state convention to order at 11:10 o'clock this morning he spoke to one of the largest gatherings that ever attended a con- vention of tho party. Temporary organization was effected by the choice of Joseph O. Burdett as chairman, and the usual committees were appointed. Resolutions upon tho death of Hon, Georgo B. Loring, oxpressive of tho loss sustained by the party in his death, and extending ympathy to the family of deceased, were adopted. Committee on permanent organization then roported, naming Henry Cabot Lodge as pec- manent president. Mr. Lodge was escorted to the chair and addressed the convention. Governor Auditor.... Sound Republican Doctrine. The speaker roviewed at great length tho history and . traditions of tho republican party, its principles and its record in con- gress. “The republican party,” he said, “stands as a bulwark against the movement for n froo coinage of silver, without a prev- ious international agreement. Ivery man who believes in honest money, and who is opposed to an inflated currenc must voto with the republican party. If ho does not, heis giving direet sunport for priucip which he abhors, and for business perils which ho dreads.’ The republican party has kept its pledge ubout the tariff.” “The speaker then referred to reciprocity and protection, coupled with_ subsidies to Amer- ican steamships, aud in this, ho declared, the party had kept its promise to_develop com- merce. Touching apon' tho expenditures of the last congress, ho said: “If the dom- ocratic party is opposed to tho increase in ex- penditures for the efiiciency aid extension of the postal sorvice, a great” government ser- vice which touches the convenience, the hap- piness, tho business and the homies of tho people of the United States, let them say s0.” Reviowing the agmnistration of Prosident Harrison, the speaker drew a favorable com- parison botween its work and that of the one preceding. He spoke of the work of the State aepartment, under Blaine, in glowing terms. Continuing, he said: “We welcome honest emigrants, but the timo has come exclude’ the vicious and ig- norant. To that work, now rising to the first place among puolic questions tho re- publican party is ready to address itself. As o national party we present to voters our work of the last two years as a pledge for the work we will do i the coming time, and on this ground we ask support.” Nominations for Governor. At_the conclusion of the specch, tho ore- dentials committee reported. Ex-Governor Long then placed W. W. Craper's name in nomination for governor, and General Cogswell that of Charles H. Allen. 7 The committee on resolutions reported the platform, an outline of which was given in these dispatches last night, and it was unani- mously adopted, Convention then proceeded to ballot. At 2:25 balloting, completod and a recess taken until 3 o'clock to allow time for count- ing the vote. Convention reassembled at 3:10 and result of ballot announced. Of the total number, 1,231, Charles A. Allen received 713, His vomination was then made unanimous.

L IRRIGATION CONGRE Papers Submitted to the Delegates or Discussion. SALT LAKE City, Utah, Sopt. 10.—Today’s session of the irrigation congross was de- voted to the consideaation of the report of the committee on resolutions, submitted by Chairman Irish of California. It recom- mended to the convention the discussion of the following topics: Should cougress donate lands outright to the states and ter- ritorles; should congress instead make grants in trust; should such donation or grant in trust be of the avid lands only, or include the entire public domain within tho states and tewritories to be benefitted, or should it be limited to tho numbver of acres of both or either; upou what con- ditions and with what restrictions should a grant in trust be made: what may be imposed upon the states and territories benefited in tho form of federal action to cowpel the preservation of water sources, by protecting the forests which guard them; instead of such grant or donation of land is it advisable that the fedoral go public domaln and itself enter upon the work of reclamation of the arld lanis and then transfor to actual settlers.

Sentiment should bo aroused in both parties look- ing to the favorablo consideration of such matters, Newlands closed with the asser- tion that greater men lived in the west than in tho east, and urged the nomination of a western man for president, Istee of Culifornia ‘took exception to pecch, and said_that the congress hnd nov assembled for the purpose of discussing volitics but irrigation. I the main point, how ever, ho agreed with his predecessor: Resolutions providing for the issuo of bonds to the amount of 215,000,000, to be expended on irrigation, said bonds to be redeemable in treasury notes issued agaimst them, were of- fered and luid over for future consideration. At the nfternoon session there wero vari- ous resolutions offered regarding the disposi- tion of tho public lands and a number of specches were made Judge C. C. Goodwin of the Tribune, Sena- tor Warren of Wyoming, W. k. Mills and John . Irish were the chiof orators.

In- duco congress 10 pass laws that wili bring peoploto the west and the demands mado will bo such that soon every available picce of arid land will bo occupicd. M. Irish be- lioved that 160 or 320 acres in_ the arid rogion was all that one man _could ask. He desired that each scttler should eet his land as cheaply as possible and the waterat tho minimum rate. Mr. Irish contended that by asking congress to deed the lands totho states and territories in trust the people of tho cast would be satisfied. Thero would be no grounds for betieving anything crooked, and no opening for stump oratory in the east about land steals.

The Asiatic station has assigned to it every small shiv in the navy. Our large ships of 3,000 tons or over aro not as available for the protection of the American missions and our other inter- osts in China as smaller vessols of lighter draft. For the purposo of ascending tho rivers upon which our missions are located small gunboats drawing from ten to twenty feet of water are tho most available vessols. We have two of theso, of about 1,000 tons each, designed for this servico well on their way towards complotion. 1f, however, Amer- ican missions and American citizens in China are to rely upon gunboats for their protection rather than upon the Chinese government, our flect in these waters must be very largely increasea. In the second place, wo have been unable to send out new ships to the Asiatic waters on account of the difficulties which have at- tended their proper cquipment up to tue prescat time, Experience has shown that it would be unwise to take # ship from the hands of the contractor and at once send her to permanent duty in o distant station. was to havo been expected, many def have developed in our new construct! sinco they have boen placed in commission, It must be remembered that i the present condition of war material, including ordinary cauipment, electric lighting, gun_protection, cte., since ‘much of it is of an entirely novel character in this country, errors of judgment and of design may occur, und it is thereforo necessary that theso devices shall roceive tho test of o certain amount of experionce before sending them so_far from home, wheve alter- ations, substitutions or repairs may become a matter of great expense and perhaps, in cor- tain stattons, of Impracticability. o cquip a modern ship with modern guus and wodern appliances, in a mauner that they can he safely relied upon_ under all circumstances, cannot be accomplished without many tests and oxperiments, “Wo ara comploting our new ships as rap- ialy as possible,” said the secretary, ‘“‘but until they are fully completed und equipped and tested by actual experienco near home workshops, it would be more foolhardiness to send them to China. Our naval force today in the Pacific is moro than twice as effective asa miltary forco as it has been at any previous tinie in the history of our navy.” - TER INTERVIEWED, SECRETARY FOS He Insists the Treasury Has Plenty of Money for All Purposcs. Wasuizatox, D, C., Sept. 16,—Secretary Foster today, when asked by a reporter about the financial condition of the treasury, said: “There seems to be a determination on the part of certain parties to insist upon the bankruptey of the Treasury. It has been ro- contly charged that at a meeting of the cabi- net an agreement was reached to U to unusual expediencics in all directions to pay the non-oxtended 4!f per cents. In many quarters the secretary is given much eredit for the means employed to maintain a bank- rupt treasury.” Commenting on thoss charges Secretary Foster said that no such cabluet meeting as that alluded to hus been held and no instrac- structions have buen given to delay the pay- ment of appropriations for auy purpose. No clain of any sort has been dolayed for this reason, nor s there occasion to do so. 1t is true, the secretary said, that he has felt that it would bo good policy to restrict disbursing ofticers to their actual needs, sud he had_ di- rocted a close study of such cases with this end 1n view. 2 Socretary Fostor insists that the treasury bhas all the money required to maintain a position of perfect ease without adopting o policy of delay or resorting to auy action that is not b on perfectly sound principals, but he admits that there 1 less money in the treasury now than there haus been for many years hereto- fore. The tariff legislation of The last con- gross will, he says, probably offect a reduc- tion of the revenue to theextent of §50,000,000 ,000,000, while the liberal appropriations will about consumo the revenue. 'I'ie moncy paid into the treasury, thesecretary deciares, will flow out daily as it ought to, thus leav- ing all tho wonoey not actually needed in tho treasury in the hauds of the peple, where it belongs. - OF THE STORM, Appalling List atalities Attend- ing on the Martinique Hurricune.
