It was without doubt the most largely attended ropublican city convention that has been held hore for years. The crowd commenced to gather three-quarters of an hoar before the time announced for the ovening of the convention, and long beforo 2 o'clock every seat in tho superior court room outside the railing was occupied and many were standing in the aisles, A little after 2 o'clock Chairman William Arnd of the city central committee called the meeting to order and tho delegates took their soats by “wards insido the railing, I.

Shugart presented a resolution inviting the state central com- mittee to select Council Bluffs as the place for holding the republican convention this summer and instructing the secretary to forward a copy ot the resolution to Chair- man B, K. Mack of the committes. The res- olution was adopted unanimously. After the report of the committao on cre- dentials had been submitted and concurred in the temporary organization was mado permanent. The nomination of candidates Tor the various oftices was then proceeded with, E. L. Shugart peesented the name of Dr. N. D. Larence as_candidate for the nomi- nation of mayor. There were no other can- didates and Dr. Lawronce was nominated unanimow,ly by acclamation, There were two candidates for the nomina- tion of treasurer—I.. Kinnehan and \V. M. Shepard. On the informal ballot there were forty-one votes cast, Kinnehan receiving twenty-seven and Shepard fourteen. On the formal ballot Kinnehan received thirty-seven to Shepard’s six and was declared tho nomi- noe. For auditor G. M. Gould and R. V. Innes were in the field.

Templeton was nominated for tho marshalship, W. C. Stacy for assessor, David Mottaz for weighmaster, and T. A, Browig slderman at large, all of these nominatious being made unanimously and by acclamation. A committee on resolutions ~was then ap nointed, composed of the following: K. Abbott, J. H. Puce, Dr. M. H. Chamberl; E. L. Shugart, W.'A. Highsmith and Wil son James. While this committee was hold- ing a private session speeches were listoned to from Dr. N. D. Lawrence and A.S. Hazelton, both of the gentlemen being greoted with hearty applause. Chairman Shugart ot the committee on resolutions then read the report of the com- ittee, consisting of a resolution which had been adopted, endorsing the Gatch high license local option bill now before the legis- lature, and urging the representatives of this county to use alll honorable means to secure How Tostevin Lost. After the convention hal adjourned yes- terday afternoon many inquiries were made as to whay had caused the defeat of City Surveyor Tostevin, who has been regarded all along as the most promising candidate for the office of city survevor that the repubii- cans could put'up. A lettor bearing the sig- nature of J. J. Brown which has bean 1n the posscssion of Mr. Tostevin for the past few days is said to be the cause of bis defeat, and theroby haugs a tale. Soveral days ago, sosays one of the leaders in the repnb- lican ranks, Mr. Brown, who is one of the best known democrats in the city, chanced to mention in the course of a conversation with Tostevin, that Cook, who afterwards turned out to be Tostevin's successful rival, bad been to him some time prior to the dem- ocratic convention and asked him to use his influence in getting him the nomination for city surveyor on the democratic ticket. On Tostevin’s request he put this statement in writing, be signed hisnameto it and delivered it to Tostevin, Tostevin conceived the idea that by making his opponent a traitor to the republican cause he would insure his own nomination, Instead of this being the case, however, it turned out directly the opposite, for when the republican leaders went to Brown o see the re- port was truo, he commeaced to crawlish, and finally admitted that he could not say that Cook had ever asked his assist- ance in getting the democratic nomination, The letter is considered simply & part of a schemo in which Brown and other prominent democrats were engaged for the purpose of destroying Tostevin's popularity in his own party, as thoy considered him the most dan- gerous opponent their nominee for the office could have. To this letter and the facy that Tostevin tried to use it in knocking out Cook’s chances for the nomination are ascribed Tostevin's defeat. —— MONEY AND MORALS, Henry Watterson, the “Star-Eyed Goddess," Lectures at the Opera House, Henry Watterson, the famous editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, appeared at Dohany's opera house in Council Bluffs last evening in his lecture on the sub- ject, *‘Money and Morals,”” While in the city he is the guestof Mayor Macrae, and that gentleman it was who ntroduced him to the large audiencs that gathered to hear bim. The speaker held the closest attention of the audience from the very first word he uttered. His manner was that of the typical southern gentlemau, full of ease and graoce, while his lecture was a marvel of beauty and brilliancy, besides being replete with vigor- ous thoughts, *‘Is there anything 1yiug across our path- way 68 a nation,” sald he, “which is likely 10 obstruct our march of triumph{ I answer, ‘yes, Canada and Mexico.” These two words are the geographical expressions of a thought that brings up the picture of the embezzior and the absconding cashier of the savings bank. 1'm sure there is no one of us here who is old enougzh to have invaded the apple orchard or robbed a melon pateh who has not thought bow pleasantit would be to have vlenty of money. Who of us has not thought of the good he would do with it if he had it! How the spendthrift pouders over tho thought how |wrom‘ru,v he would pay his debts if he only tlie money to do it with, But the millionaire, encumbered with the thougnts of his possessious, wishes, how fervently,. that money was only 8 visionary thing. The man who has $100,000 income a year and $150,000 worth of wauts isworse off than the man who hasn't & cent to his name and wants his dinner, There are many men in the east who manage 1o eke out 8 miserable livieg on $30,- 000 8 year, and wonder how in creation any- body can Iive on £25,000. And yet, I tuink if 1 were to go out with a search warrant to night T could find quite & number of men in your city who manage to get along on half at sum, 0 world has been much misled by its most widely accepted maxims, We have been told time and time again that ‘Persever- anoce conquers all things, aud ‘Labor con- quers all things,’ aud ‘love coaquers all things.’ But persoverance may be mis- directed and fall short of 1ts purpose; labor may be misapplied and love often falis a vic- tim to its own excesses. Webster and Clay poth regretted, when nearing the close of their lives, that they had ever enterea public THE OMAHA DAILY life, They each had all that jne would sup- Pose necessary to fill their cup of happiness; honor and fame wore theirs, but_they failod to reach the white house, which had been their goal from the very starting point of their public careers. Failiug 1n that one thing they felt as tnough life itself had been & failure. “'But the successful man is the man has learned to be contented. Ihe hln{;v man is he who thinks that his old wife is the best wite 1n the world, who wouldn't trade his red-headed, freckie-faced kids for any in the land. Most of us aro destined to be hew- ors of wood and arawers of water, and we must be satisfied if there is plouty of wood in the bin and plenty of water in the well I have a pity which it is hard to expross for the men who find Canada or Mexico so agreeable, 1don't think that because a man wakes up some day and Hnds that his ac- counts aro short that he is necessarily a scoundrel. Many cases of this kind arise from failure to keep one’s public and pri- vate accounts soparato, Who of us hasn't had his fingers burned with corner lots 1n cities that nover materializea! Who of us has never baen admitted to the ground floor of financial edificos that had three or four celiars below and the foundation of which vas built on wind ! *What {3 tho matter with America?’ somo one asks. What is the danger which is threatening us as a nation? Is it *he race question at the south? 1s 1t the social ques- tion? [s it the labor question! The question of free and fair elections? I do not believe that any of these things are menacing us to the extent that many try to make us be- lieve. I do not believe that revolutionary methods have any placo in a free govern- ment like ours, Some one will ask mo if I do not thiuk that tho tariff is tho great threatening danger. I answer, [am notafraid of it. They can make 1t as high as the moon if they want to; I can live under it as long as anyone can. 1 am not particularly afraid of any ono thing. I think that the entire stock in trade of both the po- litical parties of our d:\( make up mighty small politics. We must go siow ‘in matters pertaining to new logislation, but lot us give up the 1doa that the government is going to smash 10 case a certain law is or is not passed. The groat danger that is threatening us is a moral one, ‘The injunction ‘Put money in thy purse’ seems to have become a national issue, We are quick to forget how a man has carned his money, and we are always roady to put our feet under the mahogany and eat with him the viands which have been bought with his wherewithal, no matter how he got it. When Agassiz was offerea £1,000 a lecturn for a course of 100 lectures, ho said, ‘Go away; 1 haven’t any time to wastein making money.’ Now people called Agassiz a crauk, but what a pity wo haven’t a few more peoplo like Agassiz. 1 tell you, there is more weaith to be gained by coining one kind thought than by making a million of money.” ‘The closing portions of the addross were of diamond worth and brilliancy. “Were you to ask,” said ne, “what I con- sider tho greatest danger to this republic I would say that it is tue lust for weaith and the malignancy of party spirit—twin dangars that 1 have named the cevil of mammon and the devil of narty spirit.”” But he thought the formor evil genii was the most to be dreaded and pictured it as a lion standing at & point whore the rond the republic is trav- eling is divided, one road reaching up to tho heights of honor and fame and tne other leading down into a bottomless abyss, rendy to oppose with bloody jaws the progress up tho one and drag down with ravenous fury into tho other. It cost $1,000,000 now to even start a prosidential campaign and hun dreds of millions to carry iton. He modi- fied and softened the terrors of the party spirit tiend, and felt assured that loyalty and intelligence would keep it in the background as an element of real danger for generations tocome. Tho negro problem i the south was touched upon, delicately, but in a man- ner that a few sentences are sufticient to pro- sent it to the eyes in a ligt that revealed all of its weight and danger. There was a time when ha felt competent to advise and sug- gest, a time when 1t seemed to be of easy solution, but that time had passed. The best minds were confused and the stoutest hearts appalled, and he had been compelled to come back to the period when he had no solution to advocate nor suggestions to offer. The solution of the problem was in the hands of the Supreme Being, and to His benefi- cence and wisdom he bowed. He thought if he were called upon to preach a sermon to the New Englanders, ho would tell them that their magnificent enter- prise and genius that had touched their rock- ribbed hills and made them blossom as the rose, was not the only genius of the same kind. He would invito them to thesouthlana, where eternal summer broods and let them feel the softening influence and the brother- hood that dates back to the Mayflower. If he preached to the peoplo of the south he would tell them to drop '“o phantasy of a chimerical aristocracy, which, if it ever did exist, exists no longer, and send soms of their sons to the north to get into closer har- mony with the great hoart tat was sending pulsations not ouly throughout the natio ut the world. All“the way through his lecture the speaker was interrupted by applause, and his views, expressed in the warmth of lan- guage that comnes nutural to the southeraer, founa an answering echo in every heart. At half hast 9 o'clock tho speaker closed his discourse, although the audience would have been glad to stay and listen to him for an- other hour. The lecture was given under the auspices of the Pottawattamie democratic association, which deserves great credit for the uraer- taking. It wasa success no less froma financial standpoint than as an entertain- ment and quite asum was realized, which will beused in fitting up & democratic head- quarters in the Jumes block on Main street. who —_—— BOSTON STORE, Council BlufMy, Ia., Spring Announcement 189: Our thousands of patrons have been asking daily when our spring merchan- dise would be placed on sale.

In 1875 I was at General Miles’ cantonment in Texas. Along with the government employes and soldiers there were 400 buffalo hunters, Everything was quiet just like this camp for two or three months, and then things went lickety- bang. It only needs a break to raise Cain here.

A Jerseyman Taken In for Five Thousand in Hard Cash. John Hayes, in tho garh of a stranded miner hailingfrom the gem-crusted pre- cincts of Montana, dropped into Borden- town, N. J., a‘month ago. He inquired for John Martin. He intimated that John Martin would be glad to meet him. He called on Patrick Martin, the pro- prietor of the Park Street Opera house in that city. “What do ‘you' want with John Mar- tin?”? asked Patriek Martin. “I’ve got u good thing for him,” said ]Iuyog, **and I 'was told he was a good man. ’ : “What is it?” 48ked Patrick Martin, *A gold mind in Moutana,” answered Huyes. “T'm the Martin yow're looking for,” said Patrick. Then ayes explained, most_enter- tainingly, that there was n gold mino in Montana that hadn’t been developed. But he was an old-time prospector and he had discovered that it contained mil- lions of dollars’ worth of gold, Patrick tin was deeply interested, and when the stranger eoxplained that all that was needed was a little capital to buy machinery he said he thought it might be fixed. Hayes, however, would not p Martin to take any steps toward raising moncy until he had shown him some goid bricks, which, he said, had been taken from the mine, These, he said, were in Trenton. Martin accompanied Hayes to Trenton. At the Windsor Hotel there Martin was introduced to a min who said he was connected with the United States assay office in this city. Hayes exhibited some metal blocks. ““They’re the finest I ever saw,” said the supposed aseayer. The two men talked to Martin about tho vast possibilities of the mine, und Martin became enthusiastic. Hayes said he would have to have the money right away. “But I didn’t bring any money with me,” said Martin. “That’s all right,” said Hayes, ‘‘You can get it. If you don't I'll have to go right away, " Visions of enormous wealth appear to have dazzled Martin. He went to a wealthy friend in Trenton, whose name issaid to be Lawrence Farrell, and bor- rowed $5,000. He hurried back, fearing that Hayes might change his mind, Ho handed the money to Hayes. Hayes said he was going directly to Montana, and would let Martin hear from him regard- ing the mine. Martin returned to Bordentown over- joyed at the prospect, He believed that he had consummated a scheme which would make him a millionaire, He received a letter from Huyes yos- terday. He read it and went tobed.” It was postmarked New York., There wasn’t & word in it about the Montana mine, It was very brief. It contained the bare statement that Martin would never see Hayes or the $5,000 again, —————— A Story of an Engugement Ring, Jewelers’ Week “When [ was a voung man,” said Bodkins, **I was em- ployed 1n a 18 house in the city, and Pull in luvs‘&irh a4 young woman, to whom I bectiné engaged.

Tt was u foregone conclu- sion to Mr. Weed that Mr. Seward would be nominated. taking , before leaving for loaded the lofts of ‘The ing with firoworks, which were to be touched off on the joyful evening of tho memorable day of the nomination. The morning when tho convention was to begin balloting Mr. Weed telegraphed Fred from Chicago to hold back the last edition of the paper until he got news of his father’s nomination. The leader commending the nomination was in type: the rockets and roman candles were ready to flood the ky with many-tinted glory; the ticket— Por Prestdont, Willlani . Seward of New York’—was also in type; and Fred sat serenely in ‘The Journal’ sanctum waiting for the formal—but to him rather unnecessary-—announcement that the favorite had beaten the field. “That was tho situation when, after the third ballot at Chicago, a telegram was handed Fred announcing that the republican national convention had nominated Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. We may be sure that for a few minutes Fred was a prey to his emotions. He must have felt as if he had been interviewed by a cyclone with a dynamite attachment. “But the instinct of the trained journalist soon rea rted itself and he got to work. There was a Seward leader to bekilled and a Lincoln leader to be prevarea. But before sit- ting down to write, he scratched off ‘For President, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois,” and told a messenger to take it to the composing room and explain to the fore- man that that was the ticket which was to go to the masthead. “Presently an excited voice scame down the tube connecting the sanctum and the composing room. It was the voice of the paralyzed foreman, him- self an admirer of William H. Seward. Ordinarily an amiable foreman, but when his temper was ruffied, more em- phatic than genteel in thoe use of the language, which he ‘rendered’ in nerv- ous, falsetto tones. ‘“*Hallo, Mr. Seward!’ screamed down the tube. * “Well, what is it?’ saia Mr. Seward. “With as much indignation as the tube would hold, the forsman inquired ay, oMr. Seward, whatd—d namo is this that you wantme to have set up for president?’ the foreman A Shrewd Photographer, A photographer on the west side, in a district which it is unnecessary to par- ticularize, is building u costly six-story building which may yet be’ pointed at asa monument to its owner’s power of observation and his faculty for turning 1t to account, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, Incidentally the handsome structure will bear testimony to the prevailing vanity of woman, The photographer is wealthy, How he made his fortune is worth telling: Three years ago the artist noticed that when he got a lady sitter with a pair of small ana elegant feet she gen- erally liked to place herself so that hor fairy-like supports were just visible; while the lady with tho large, mis- shapen hoofs and bulky hoof-cases kept her feet out of sight every time, From this he inferred that the latter person would much prefer to have two small and lovable trotters also. and if she had them she would want to display them; and then he conceived the inspir- ation of keeping feet on hand, and sup- {)lying them to customers who needed hem, H e has a dozen pairs of them-—small wooden feet with adorable boots on bem—and attached to each of them is about eight inches of attractive leg, clothed in neat stockings, and with a hook about half way up. The lady with the generous extremities is planted in n chair with her massive limbs and copi- ous boots hidden as far pack as they can go without aislocating her knees, ana then the artificinl legs are carefully hooked on to the inver hem of her dress. Consequently she looks like a person reclining in an easy attitude, with her beautiful feet exposed by accident, and, if she can stand the strain—which is something awful—the resulting photo is a beautiful thing to look at. If she can’t stand the strain her real feet come forward just in time to keep tho unnat- ural attitude from wrenching her joints asunder, and then she appears in the negative as a quadruped, Sometimes her limbs have to be tied back with ropes to keep her steady, and her smile is the happy smile of one who sits on a hot stove.

Under the name of wire glass a new invention has been brought on the mar- ket in Dresden. The process of manu- facture consists in furnishing glass in a hot \»lmm- condition with a flexible metallic layer, iron wire netting, for instance, which is completely enclosed hy the vitreous substance and effectively protected against exterior sunstances, as rust, ete. The new giass possesses much greater resisting power than the ordi- nary material and is, it is claimed, in- different to the most abrupt changes of temperatare, and will even withstand open fire. The glass is specially for skylights, the powerful ~resisting qualities of the material enabling the usual wire protectors to be dispensed with, As wire glass cannot be cut by the diamond, exeept under the appli tion of great force, and cannot be broken without ereating considerable noise, the substance is claimed to be, in a measure, burglar proo Ex-Governor Robert Taylor of Ton- neseee, who is lecturing in the south on “The Iiddle and the Bow,” tells this story during the lecture.
