General Manager Holdrege Tells Where His Company Stands, Councilman Prince, chairman of the coun- cil's committee on viaducts aud railroads, re- ceived the following letter yesteramy from General Manager Holdrege of the B. & M, ; OMAHA, Feb. 10, 1802—Mr. Sol Prince: Un- derstunding that you are chalrman of a com- mittee of the city nell on viaduets, 1 beg to cull your attention to a contract made be- twsen the ety of Omaha. the Union Pacifio and the Burlinzton Rallroad companies nt the time the Sixteenth street viaduot was bullt, duted February 1, 18%. You will notice that this coutract pluces certain restrictions upon the proposed plans relutive to Fifteenth street, und thut the Sixteenth street vinguct, wus constructed on plans and specifioations agreed to by tho olty, It 18 our understund- ing that the railroad companies should not be expected In the future to piay any part of re- pairing, malntuining or constrieting a via- auct on Sixteenth street. Yours truly, - G. W, HOLDREGE. The agreement of [ebruay 1, 1886, pro- vides for the building of viaducts ou Elev- enth and Sixteenth streets, and the city binds itself to close Sixtk, Twelfth and Fif- teenth streets. The contract makes no pro- vision for the maintenance or recoustruction of the viaducts, and Mr. Holdrege argues that the railroads ure not holden for such ex- nse. He says the raiiroads faithfully ful lled the terms of the contract, and he holds that when the viaducts were turned over to the city the latter assumed their ainten- ance the same as though they were ordinary streets, i The O Night Lecture. Mr. T, W. Blackburn spoke at the Young Men's Christian association last nigot upon the topic “What isto Become of the Iu- dian?” The audience was not large, but the talk was interesting und the hearers were ap- preciative.

M. E. Gotter koew several things that others were glad to learn and thoy gathered about him to hour his opinion of the approach- ing campaign. James Whitenead, ho of tho silver voico aod hearty grasp of tho haud from Custer county, drifted in at early dawn and his con- grossional aspirations became tho lopic of conversation among several of the delegates, Kearney Well Represented, T'he citizens of Kearney and particularly the republicans of that vigorous young city, came in companies and platoons, They wanted to take the state couvention home with them, and from tho very outset they appeared 1o meet with' very litile opposition. The majority of the delepates fayored the idea of holding the first state convention at Kearney, The calling of this convention and 1ts location were really the two main points to be avtended to atthis meeting of the committee. Tne first convention will be held for tha purposo of selecting four dele- gates-at-large to tho “mational convention at Miuneapolis, Thé’ Following gentiemen from Kearney were pulling the ropes to get the convention ldcated at the Cotton City on the Plaite: «Mayor Ira Jolnson, 0.

Ford, Some Differeice of Opinion, Iv became evident some wecks ago that there would be a difflerence of opinion among the delepates a8, o the basis or re- presentation in selecting the delegates to the state conventions, , One of the very first things that the pnalegates began talklng about was tho basispgrapresentation. Some }vm;m-!' to go back to4he vote on Hustings n . iy They argued that thawvote of Judge Post was hardly a fair test of the republican vote in all parts of the state because he bad no competitor running against bim on the dem- ocratic ticket. . ‘The same argument was urged against making the vote upon Marple the basis of ropresentation. Otners held that the vote upon Judge Post was a fair test of the republican strength throughout the state aud the delegates 1o the stace conven- tion should be selected upon that basis. ‘Touching the question of choice for presi- dential timber there seemed to bs but one sentiment, everybody was for Harrison. Senator Southeriand, P. J. Hall, T. C. Calahan and others thought there could be no doubt of the complexion of the Nebraska delegation. It " would go solia for Harrison. J. 1.

Called the Roll. Promptly at 2 o'clock Chairman S, D. Mo~ cer called the meeting to order and Secre- tary Sceley called the roll. All bors of the committee, excepting Mr. A. C. Leder- man of Grand 'Island, were present, either in person or by proxv. The committeemen wero: L, H. Wood, Violet; T. J. Majors, Peru: John C. Watson, Nebraska City; J. A. Davies, Plattsmouth; P. J.

On motion of Mr. Simmons of Seward the committee voted to take up first all business of a public nature and then go into executive session, excluding all who were not members of the committee. Several commuuications from republican leagues and from rcpublicans of Kearney and Buffalo county wero read, asking and urging the committed to name Kearney as the place for holding the state convention, at which delogates at large to the Minuneapolis conven- tion shall be nominated. Place and Time Fixed, Mr. George O'Brien of Omaha moved that Kearnoy be named as the placo for holding the couvention. Mr. Plerce of Lancoln heartily seconded the motion. Major Brown of the Kearney Hub also seconded the mouion. He supplemented the second by saying that, with the state conven- tion neld in the contral part of the state, the republican party could win back the thou- sands of voters who had gone off after faise rods, ¥ Captain MeArdle of Lancaster county seconded the motion in & vigorous manuner, The motion was carried by a unanimous vote and was followed by appluuse, The committee then took up the matter of fixing the time for holding the convention, Mr. P, 1. Hall moved that the convention be held on the last Wednosaay in April ut 11 o'clock. The motion was seconded. Mr. Brown of Kearney suggested that preparations bo mado for a graud republican love feast aud rally on tho evening of the convention day. He hoped tosee the central commitlee secure some man or men of national reputation to speak to the people. Kearney would ut on campaign puint, would bo in gala attire, would furnish music and banners and enthu- siusm enough 10 make the occasion & hum- mer, and 1t would scare the democrats and independents out of a year's grewth and en- thuse the whole republicun party 1o Ne- braska. ‘Che motion fixing tbedate for the state convention on Wednesday, April 27, was car- ried, und then the execuuve cowmittee and the Buffalo county central committee were requested to secure speakers of national reputation to address the grand mass meet- ing to be held the same day as the conven- tion. R. E bi In Executive Session, The committee then went into executive session and the reporters and others who wera not committeemen retired. ‘fbhe first matter taken up was to decide the basis upon which delogates were to be selected to attend the state convention, There was but very little discussion upon the matter as the majority of the committee favored the vote on Atworney General Hast- ings as & basis. A motion to this effect was passed with practically no opposition, Then Mr. Brad D. Slaughter, who 18 & member of the committee by reason of his bemng secretary of the State Republican league, offered a resolution to recomiuzend to the state convention that the new state cen- tral committee be elected at the Kearney con- vention. This resolution created a great deal of discussion, lasting for wore than an bour, Those who opposed it held that it was not within the province of the central committee to tako a hand iu the croation of & new cen- tral committee. That was a work that prop- erly belonged to the state convention. Tho supportersfof the resolution hold that the sooner the new state central committeo was clected the vetter, and that to wait until the second state convention vefore electing this new commttes would endangor the work of the campaign, The resolution was defeated. Another resolution was offered and passed which shut out all proxies at the state con- vention. None but thoelected deleatos or their alternates will be allowed to vote in the convention, County central committees were urged by another resolution to bestir themselves in eelting good republican literature circulated in larger quantities among tte readers, both in the townsand in the country. — - Clark-5ti Friday eveningat 7:30 Rev 'I.
