= THE OMAHA DALy BEE REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL] Touglas Ceunty Cor Hall Yesterday Afternoon, THEY ENDORSED PRESIDENT HARRISON Ttesolutions Commending His Administra- tion Adopted—Delegates Chosen to the State and District Convention ster for Delegate-at Washington hall was densely crowded by 2 p. m. when the republican county conven tion was called to order by the chatrman, D. H Mercer, who, after making a few remarks concerning the impending campaign, closed his bricf address by tendering his resignation s chairman of the county central committee. For nearly seven years ho had served the party in the capacity of chairman of city or county committee to the best of his ability and with unswerving fidelity to each and didate whom tho party had nom- Inated. He thought ita fitting time to sur- render the burden and paid a high compli- ment to tho zeal and integrity of his co- laborers on tho committes, who wero nctuatéd solely for tho best interasts of the party and without mercenary motives. Secretary Joukins then read tho call and the convention proceeded to the eloction of a overy temporary chalrmuo. Savage Temporary Chilrman, Mr. Christian Specht nominated Mr. J. L. Carr, ana Mr, D. L. Johnson of West Omaha nominated Colonel 1. P. Savage of South Omaba for temporary chairman. Che bullot for temporary chairman was then taken by a call of tho wards and pre- olncts, The country precincts wont alnost solid for Savage, but the wards of Omaha policd a heavy vote for Care. The ballot stood as follows: Savage, 113; Carr, 47, The election of Colonel Savage was made unan- imous upon motion of Mr, Stenberg. Colonel Savage was escorted to tho stand and safa: ntlemen, Friends and Fellow Republi- wns: Dhis 08 A surpriso to me. A min must necessardy feel proud of such an honor as this, and Lam particularly pleased to see the srechal lonor that vou hiave ULestowed ubon South Ownhe, [Applansol. Now g-ntlemon, let us proceed In an orderty and business-1ike ninner and show our fricnds, the enemy, that we know how to conduct our business’ in a manner aitozether superior to that at their luto and notable conventic Omuba. Mr., Harry Counsman and Mr. Charles Potter were elected as temporary secretaries. There being no coutesting delegations it was deemed unnecessary o hive a commit- teo on credentials, 'Tho secretary was in structed to read tho list of delegates as pre sented by the various delegations. About Admitting Proxies. There was some discussion over the ques- tion of admitting proxies. Mr. J. L. Web- ster moved that all proxios which wore sat- isfactory to the remaiundor of the delegation from those particular wards or preciuets ve admited to seats in the convention, Mr. Specht opposed the admission of vroxies under any consideration. Mr. Gurley thought that it would work a hufdship upon somo of the wards, “Mr. Bechel of the Fourth is out of tho city,” said M. Gurley, “aud he has given his proxy to s £ood a republican os there is in Douglas county, Mr. ‘Frank £. Moores, He ought to be given a seat in this convention.” Mr. Sol Prince was opposed to the admis- sion of wroxies. Soveral other delegates were stoutly opposed 1o the admission of any proxies. Mr. Baldrideo moved that tho delegates clected at tho primaries as returned with credentials to tho secretary be declared the delegates entitled to seats in the convention. "Tho wotion was carried ard the seccotavy procecded to read tho list of delegates pre- sented by tho various ward and vreciet delegation leade And then the proxy question came up again. Thoere were something liko & dozen vroxies, ana after a long wranglo it was finally decided to allow the delezations hav- ing vacancies to appoint proxics to fitl those vacaneies. My, Juhn wanted the gentlemen who held proxies to be seated, Mr. Stenberg was opposed to the idea of permitting men who had secured proxies out of their own wards to huve seats in the con- vention. He thousht that the wholesale business of buyiug proxies should be sat upon. Gurley thought that if the proxies were eatisfactory to tho ward delegations they should be satisfactory to the convention, Mr. Spectit spoke vigorcusly in opposition to the admission of proxies in a wholosale manner. His remarks wero heartily ap- plauded. Mr. Powell was opposed to seating men who held proxies from outside of their wards. He thought that tho delogaticns should bo allowed to sclect any proxies from their own wards that wero needed to fill the delegation, Mr. Powell moved an amena- ment to that effect aud it was carried. Tho motion to allow the delegations to fill the vacancies as amended was carried. All dele. gations that could not agreo upon the prdxies necessary to fill tho vacancies wero per- mitted 10 cast the full vote of the delege tion. Frank B. Moores, C. A. Potter, I, A Philleo, J. B. Watkins, Fred M. Smith and G. R. Armstrong were given seats in the convention as proxy holders, Proceeding to Business, On motion of Ar, Whitmora the tempor- ary organization was made pormanent, Mr. Charles Elgutter moved that the con- vention proceod to selcet a candidato for delegate-at-lirge to be nominated ut the stato convention, und to have tho unanimous support of the Douglas county delegution, Mr. Eruost Stuht was opposea to the lat tor clause in the resolution, and in addition to that he thought the county convention had no nuthority to selcct o delogate-nt-largo to tio national convention, usley offered an ameéndment to proceed with & bailot simply oxpressing the profer- enca of the delegatcs in tho convention for o candidato for de arge before the state convention. The amendment was ac- copted by Mr. Eigutter aud was adopted. And then thero was a littlo broeze, M. J3.°W. Fawtas of the L2ighth ward said he would certainly oppese any man for delegate t0 the Minnenpolis convention who cid not fiest come before the convention aud agreo (o use his influence aud put forth his utmost effort to scoure the venomination of Prosidont Harrison. The wora Harvison Was not woro than half cut of Mr, Furnas' mouth when a sb of approval rent the air toat could have been heara blocks away. Some of the delogatos throw up their hats and threo rousing cheers were given for tho president. And then the con vention got ready to ballot upon 1ts choice for delegate-at-large, M Rosewater Called For, Just before tho ballot for a preference was taken Councilinan Munro arose and said that, wusmuch 8s it bad been reported on the strect that My, Kosewatsr bad smid that he would not support the choice of the conven- tion if that choice happened to be Mr. Web. ster, and that it lad also been reported that Mr. Rosowater had suld t o would not subport the cholco of state or natioual con- ventious unless they nowinated men to suit him; theroforo ho thought that Mr. Ros water should bo requested to core bofors the couvention and explaiu whothor or not these Luings were true, There wus a general call for Mr. water and he soon cawe forward, & position fn front of the platfor ehair, he said: Gentlemon of the Convention: 1hnve been nrepublican all my lite. kver since I wus a ve bolleved tu the principles of the an purty. 1 have voted for all the ro- o presidents all tho way U, s ot to Renjamin Harrison. noed of putting a lubel on wa It s not nee- Rose- ud, taking upon a | following ottc sury for me 1o g1ve & pledge, My porsousl preferouce tor preaident is Uenjaialn Warrls TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. son.

(Ap- plause.] Then Mr. Webster was callea out and ho told the convention that he was in favor of nominating Mr. Harrison and intended to vote the republican ticket always and from the top to the bottom. Tho balioting bagan and it was soon seen that thero was but two names in the rac those of John L. Webster and Mr. Edward Rosewater. Asked Information and Got It, When the Fifth ward was reached Mr. Kyner arose and said that nis delegation de- sited to have Mr. Rosewater state to the conveition whether he intended to support tho wholo republican ticket, national, state, county aud city, and whether or not ho would makea fight on any of the nomi- nees if thoy did notsuit him, Mr, Rosewater was again called to tho front and mounting a chair as before Lo said: 1 have never heen afrald to face any crowd Orto answer any questions that have been nsked me, I want to eall vour attention to the fact that In the convention which nomi- nated James A Garfield for president of the United States there was # resolution intro- duced to bind the delezates to sup- port the nomince, no matter whom ho might bLe.

(Applunuse.] Result of the Balloe, Aftor Mr. Rosewater's speech, which ap- peared to create a deep fmpression upon the delegates, the palloting proceeded. The re- sult of the first ballot was announced as being 74 for Mr, Rosewater, 72 for Mr. Webster, 4 for John M. Thurston aad ¢ for Judge C! R, Scott.

O'FERRALL PLEADS FOR THE REPUBLICAN Earnest Efforts of the Virginia Congress. man in the Cause His Eulogy of Cleveland—The Vote—In the Senates of Justice Wasnixeroy, D. C., Aril 22.—1t Is seldom that a contested election caso engrosses the attontion of the house, but the Noyes-Rock- well case did so toaay. There was thought to be concealea behind the leeal q tion o democratic nomination for the presidencs, was it to be Hill or was it to bo Cloveland! or was it to b the much-spoken of western man! Tho vote in the house, It 13 said, indi- cates that the west may como to the front. Mr. Fellows mado a fine argument in favor of Mr. Rockwell and he was followed by Mr. Cockran with a brief speoch similar to those addresses for wlich be is famous. Neither one of theso gentlomen roferred to the po- litical imbroglio except by innuondo, but Mr. O'Ferrali of Virginia took the bull by the horas. He announced himsolf as a stal- wart Cleveland man. Cleveland, fn his opinion, was a lion, whilo Hili was a fox. His referenco to Grover Cleveland as the magnificent and grand man from the state of New York was applauded, but he failed to carry the house with him, but thirty-nine mombors recorded themselves in favor of the contestant and the chasm between Hill and Cleveland seams to be more than ever wita- out the prospect of a plaak to bridee it. Cockran's Plea for Rockwell. Mr. Cockran, in the course of his remarks, said: *Itis not for a democrat that I pload. It is for the people of the United States; it 18 for tho purity of the ballot box, not for any one person who claims here tha benefit of votes that wero contained in it; I speak Tor the sanctity of the altar of sovereignty itself, and I say that the chair sccured to Mr. Rockwell by tho majority of tho unpur- chased votes of hus district is sacred 1 the eyes of the law; 1s protected by every lotter of our conatitution and should be demandod by every honest 1mpulso of our nature. I speak for the purity of elections, for the nonesty of the expression of the popuiar will, for the inviolability of tho ballot box, T be' lieve that no partisan advantage would com- pensate any loss that would bs sustained by the unfair exercise of judicial power in this house. We have seen what the effect of the disrogard of every princivlo of justice has been upon the inority, We have seen to what proportions it has shrunk. 1 hope be- fore this voto is recorded thore will be found somo men on the republican sido of the house to declaro their belief that purchased votos are not tho expression of the popular will; and that no titlo to a seat can bo found upon tho record tainted by this bribery and fraud nad which seeks to establish itself only by availing itself of a technicality injected” into the case by tae report of the majority. |Loud applause. | O'Ferrall Advocates the Cause of Justice. Mr. O'l'ervail of Virginia, in closing the argument in favor of Mr. Noyes, suid he hoped that a calm would succeed the-hurri- cano which had just pussed over the house. The speech of the gentleman from New York rominded him of a littie story. A belated traveler was journeyinz over a country in tho midst of a storm. His horse he guided by the flare of the lightning. But, although the storm was a fierce one, the flasnes were not frequent, while the peals of thunder wore incessant. [inally the way farer seat up tha invocation: *“Oh Lord, T would like to have a little more light and not quite so much noise.” (Loud laughter|. He (O’Ferrall) did not havoe to go around in Lis country wearing on_tho lapel of hiz cout a label with the words: .*[ am a demo- crat.’ [Applause, laughter, cheers and groat confuston|. It had beca charged that howas warped in his judgment, because he preferred a ceriain gentleman for the next democratic nomination for president. Ho supposed as an American citizen he had tho right to exerciso the priviloge of expressing his choice. His choico was fixed. Every- body who koew his conviction knew what his choice was. And yet, ke was to be as- sailed and ticised because he preferred a cortnin distinguished gentloman for the democratic nomination. It was true. He did prefer # certain gentleman, He preferred a great big man. [Laughter and applause], 110 preferrea 8 man who was a lion and uot a fox. [Cheors and sensation.] He pre- ferred a who $tood out. before the coun- , head and shoulders above every other living democrat of this age--& man who knew 10 north, no south, no east and no west. A man who know no’ peoplo, whose home was the Unite1 States—the maguificent snd grand Grover Cleveland of the stuto of New York. [Great applause. ] How They Voted At the conclusion of Mr. O'Ferrall’s speech the previous question was ordered without division. The question recurred on the reso lutions of the minority as a substitute for tho resolutions of the mpjority. A separate voto vbewng demanded, the first voto was takon on the first resolution of the minority, which (a substitute) dectares that Noyes was not elected. This was carried—yeas, 1403 nays, 93-—amia applause on the democratic side.

Tho bill as amended passed. Chinese Exclusion Bill, The Chinese exclusion bill was taken up and Mr. Chandler prdseeded to present testi- mony as to the contiduous Imtroduction of Chiricse from Caneda and British Columbia in order to show the need of moro strincent luws to provent the influx of Chinese over the northern borders. He favored the sev- enth section of the housa bitl, providing the penalty of imprisonment, in a penitentiary for Chinamen so introdnced. In the course of his remarks he referred to the Scott act of October 1, 1585, as a violation of the trouties with China. The term ‘‘violation” did not suit Mr. Tel- ler, who suggested the uSe of the term abro- gation or ‘‘repeal,” but Chandler said he saw no differenco in the terms, In veply to a question by Mr. Hiscock, Mr. Chandler said that! the Chinese government had never assented ta tigpartial abro; a tion of the treaty. It had refiised to receive the new wminister of thy United States on the grouna that congress hai passea the Scott law. Ho was froe Lo udmit hs thought tho situation between the American government and China a bad one, Reverung to the case of Mr. Blair, he remarked that senator was also ono who made a vigorous fight in the senate azainst tho Scott bill. He then wont on to read and comment upor the correspondenco between tha State department and China as to Mr. Biair's rejoction. Ho referred particularly, h much acidity of language, to the fact that the dispatch of the state oftico of the 6th- of Octover (explaining and defending the position of Mr. Blair) had not been communicated to the Chinese gov- ernment, but had been buried in the archives of the lezation, until Mr. Wharton, by bis dispatch of March 25, 1502, directed it to be doue forthwith. He catled attention to the fact thaton July § Mr. Blair had (for reasons stuted in his momorial beforo the scnate) withdrawn his letter of resignation as follows: ‘“Lwithdraw my resignation and would thak you to 1aform” the president.” Mr. Wharton's response was: “I have received your letter of the 9th instant with- drawiug your letter of resignation, and in ac- cordance” with sour request I shall inform the president of your action this afternoon.’” And yet, said Mr. Chandler, with much earnestuess of manner, on the tth of Ootober the president accented the resignation which bad been withdrawn, aud there is the record. Repudiation of Treaty Rights, Mr. Davis, a member of the committee on foreign relation looked on the house bill as & rani, radical, unolushing, unmitigated ro- pudiation of every treiaty obligation re- maining between the United States and China, He said that the Chinese govern- ment was not anxious for its people to come to tho United States, But how was it with the governments of the western hemis- phere! There was moro matter for prudent consideration, he thought, in the attempis of Mr, Cabensly, who had submitted to the pope last year a proposition intended to nationalize “American institutions and to supplant them by the institutions of ns many nationalities as were to be found in America than there was in all tha Cuineso questions since 1338, The gentlaman, Mr. Cabhensly, proposed t7 use the power of the Catholic hierarchy to bring about that great politieal result, i/ (Davis) rejoiced that ho could speak of the matter without commit- ting tho offenso of treading on religious ground becauso it was to the credit of Pope Leo X111, the greatest statesman who had sat on the poutifioal throne for a quarter of o century, that b ropelled the proposition as s00n us made to bim, “This Mr. Cabensly,” Mr. Davis said, *‘was not a priost, but u layman—a member of the Prussian Diet. Io the memorial which he preseuted to the vatican he claimed that the want of representution of the different na tlonalities of emigrants in the Episcopal dio- ceses was one ol the ehiof causes of desertion on the part of the Catholic forces, and that beuce it was desirale that every different national group of emigrants should be organ- ized into a distict parish, with a priest of its own nationality. It was by one of these many schemes that the various forejgn lan- guages should be perpetuated in tho United Statos by the distribation of people according 1o pationality. However oblivious to the fact that there is am American ustioo- ality and an American people, never had there ever veen a more infamous attempt to prostitute the religious powen for volitical purposes than was expressed in that memor- ial, " Tuis man, be said, was no incousider- ablo man.

Browss Srmves, Wyo, (via courier to Douglas), April 22, —Covered with mud from head to foot, with horses complotely played out, 200 cavalrymen guarding the cattlemen halted in front of Michael Henry's ranch at Browns Springs at ¢ o'clock last evening. They left Fort McKinney at 10 o’clock Sun- dny and had been five days covering 115 miles Major Fechet is in command of the expedi tion, his soldiers comprising C, IS and H of the Sixth cavalry. The major, vlunt and outspoken, had little sympathy for his pris oners, and has on divers occasions sad so, When nearing Ogalalla ranch last night, W. C. Trvin, its manager, who is one of the prisoners, invited the major to be his guost that night, tendering grain and feed for tho horses freo of churgo. *“Not by a d—d sight,” replied the major. “We pay you for every ot and whisp of hay we get, just liko any other person.’ The soldicrs aro not in love with their trip. A very important feature of tho expedition is a Hotchkiss gun carried by an army wagon. It more than any other thing commanded the respect of the rustlers, It is related on good authority that while tho cattlemen wore besieged at the T A ranch, Booby Ford, a wealthy merchant of Buffalo, offered the commanding ofticer at Fort McKinney £,000 for & cannon, When the cavalcace left the fort Sunday morning cow men all armed with six-shootors and rifles wero civeling around. Major Fechet did not like the looks of the crowd, and ordered all strangers out of camp. Dowi ahill to Clear creek went the procession. There were wagous and buggies, car- riages with women, and men ou horseback were 80 numerous that a blockade was almost caused. This made the major mad, and a few orders hastily given and just as hastily executed, ha1 tie desived efféet and the road was once more clear. A half mile further on two dozen cowboys began circling around, acting as though try- Ing to cut out cattle from a vunch. ‘They got 50 daugerously near the prisoners that the order was given to make ready to vepel an attack, and the gleaming barvels of the car- bines were ready for action. Standing at a small bridge soma little dis- tance ahead were three men with rifles to their shoulders, apparently ready to fire. They thought botter of it when the troops were brought 1o a halt, and balf a dozen sharp shooters poiuted their guns in that direction, After the bridge was passed the trail led through a bunch of willows, and tnere the major expected trouble. 'I'ho willows are so thick that it was impossible to march even 1wo abreast, and so the guard was with- drawn from tho side of the cattlemen, and single file was the oraer of march. T'his would have been an excellent spot for an ambush, and the wajor knew it, but his fears were groundless, As his command dashed 10to the clear beyond, Sheriff Angus rounded up his “cowboys, and bunchod on & knoll they watched the' troops pass out of sight, ruarding the men they were haying in charge. As the cattiemen camg opposite the buucl’z, some one shouted, “good bye, White Cap.” Yoll after yell rent the air, and wheeling on their horses, “Rad” Angus'slowly lod s followers back to Buffalo.
