OBARLES JOHNSON ( NE MOOKE o Lixcory, Neb, Aug. 5.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur HBre]—Last night brought little rest to the leaders of the contest in the state convention, but the morniug brought victory to the Crounse men. Those from Douglas county who had swerved from their allegianco tothe county’s choice came back and gave submission to the Instructions under which tuey were sent here. Their break had failed to stampedo the convention, and thelr mistake was too apparent to nced polnting out. O the other band macy delegates who had voted for other candidates on the ballots taken yester- day had given assurance of thew intention to vote fur Juuge Crounse this morning. So ‘when the convention reassembled there were cnough and more votes pledged to Judge Crounse’s support to insure his nomination. The only point on whict any dispute was raised was over the nomiuation for state auaitor, Tom Benton made a hard nght for Bowerman, but could not carry himthrough. Moore's friendas made a steady contest for bim and finally won in a rush. Joe Bartley had little trouble in securing eénough votes to nominate on the first ballot, and the rest were named by acclamation. HOW IT WAS DONE. Detnils of the Fifth Ballot” Which Made Crounse the Nomlinee. Lixcory, Neb., Aug. b,—[Special Telegram to Tk Bee.|—It was 1010 this morning when Chairman Cady rapped for order and asked the pleasure of the convention. The delegates wore good natured, and at once demanded that the roll call for goveraor be proceeded with without delay. The call pro- gressod without incident, the orderly con- duct of the delagates contrasting sharply with the scenes of wild disorder yosterday alternoon. Adams county was called, but her chair- man asked for time. . When Box-Butte was reached, ber elght Aeiegates swung around into the Majors column, Buffulo county’s chairman announced the solid vote of fifteen for Crounse, but a man with ao imitatlon hickory shirt demanded a poll of the dolegation. The poll was ordered and the delegatos, after scrapping among themselves, finally succeeded in casting twelve votes for Crounse and two for Ma- Jors, with one absent. Niuety-four for Crounse. When Douglas was reached the convention held its broath as ono man, and listeaed for the announcement. There wus just the faint- est glint of triumph in Chairman Broateh's eyes as ho quictly announced *Ninety-four votes for Crounse.” Then the convention Hall rang. Stukit sat by and smiled, *‘and never a word sald he.” Jeflerson county broke even on Crounse and Majors, Again a poll of the delegation was demanaed ana ordered, The final vote gave Croi use fivo votes aud Majors six, one wologate being absent, Barsby of Fairmont almost precipitaten a riot auiong the Majors people by springing to his feet and asserting that muny of the delegates wanted the rullug of the chalr in regurd to absentoes. The Fairmont man subsided and tae rolleall proceeded. nnox county demanded a poll of s dele- gation, Its original vote was three for Crounse ana five for Majors. By the poll Majors lost a vote. Polk county was polled and the delezates proscut divided evonly botween the leaders. Then Everybody Choered. Theroll call was not agaln lnterrupted, and long before the secretaries had succeod- asting up the totals, several lightn culators in the hull bad discovered that 120 Crounse bad more than the neces- sury numoer of votes and the hali soon rang with cheers for the Washington county statesman. hie secretary announced that 837 ballots had been cast and that it required 419 to nominate. Crounse had receivea 440 votes. He proceeded uo further. for & s0ou us & semblance of order bad been restored Tom Majors was on his feot domanding recogni- ton us was also L. D, IRicharas of Dodge, but Majors was given the floor. He said: Majors Mude it Unanimous. *'Mr. Chairinan—Not as a matter of form, oot for the purposo of sondifying myaelf ‘with the winner in this contest, but in the Interests of the republican party, 1 desire to move that the nomination ~of Lorenzo Crounse shall be made unsnimous.” [Pro- loneed apolause ard che jors' patriotic remarks started the en- thusiasm anew. Douglas county started the ball with a call for three cheers and @ tiver for Majors, and thoy were given with o will Chuwirmun Caay stuted 1t had boon moved by Mujors wud secouded by Cady that the nowi- natlon of Lorenzo Crouuse be made uoani- mous. Tho long druwn-out shouts of “aye' left no doubt as to the unanimous nsture of he convention’s endorsement of 1ts nominee for koverior. ‘There wore wany loud calls for Crounse, Whioh ceused only when the ctalrmun stated thut the judge was not iu the city. Hoss Hammond asked the chairwan 1o an- nounce the vesult of the vole on the otber candidates, as ho wanted the figures entored lor refereuce, but be was informed that thero wore no other candidates, as Crounse's nom nation was unanimous, ' Result of the Ballot, The fifth ballot for governor, by counties, was as follows : o g Countien. o | -+ sa0fupy, Ant Arth Blui & Banner... 8 | Keith, Bosd Knox Boono. ... .

TWO NAMED BY ACULAMATION, Tate For Lieutenant Verno for Scoretury of state. It was anuounced that nominatious for licutenar.t governor were in order. A long and levol-headed aelogate won a round of tearty applavse by moving chat all nominat- ing specohes be despansed with on tho bal- anco of the ticket. His motion was carried without u disseating vote. ‘tho name of Rav. J. G. Tate of Hastings was preseated to the couvention by Dr. George Kimball of Adams cofinty. The roll- call was ordered, a motion tosuspena it being voted down, But as the call proceeded it was ovident that practically there was no opposition to Tate, and on motion of Orlanao Teflt of Cass, who insisted that he was not a candidate nimself, theroll call was sus- ponded and the Adams county candidato was nominated vy acelamation. Mr. Tate mounted the platform in responso to calls ahd returned his thanks to the con- vention in the following brief speech : “Mr. Chairman and Gentiemen of the Con- vention—I scarcely know for which to thank you most, the honor you kave conferred upon ino or tho mauner of 1ts bestowal. You are not ut this time desirous of having a speech inflicted upou you —[cries of “spoceh’’ |, —and Isimply desire to say this: That the hanner wo bear in this campaign will be borne in tho thickest of the fight and will never be trailed in the dust. [Applause.] We shall stand squarely upon the plaiform of repuo- lican principles, meeting the cuemy in the thickest of the fray and coming back in Novomber with victory perching upon our banner.” [Applause and cheers. | Allen by Acclamation, The sclection of a candidate for secrotary of state was declared uext in order. J. Wes- ley T'ucker of Cherry arose and stated thav but one name had been considered in con- nection with this place on the ticke: and he therefore moved that tho rules be susponded and fohn C. Allen of Red Willow, the pros- eut incumbent, be nominated by acclama- tion. The convention acquiesced and Mr. Allen was called to tho front, whete he spoke as follow. “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con- vention—I am indeed gratificd and thaukiui 10 this convention, not alone for the Lozor of this nomination, but for the confidence that vyou bestow in me at this tme. Iwo years ago in this city I was a new man in poiitics, You nominated mo for this office and I was elected in Novemoer. To come here today and receive this unanimons nowmination is un honor for which T have oot the words Lo ex- press to this convention how much I thank you” [Applause.] nd Allen TOM BENTON BEATEN, Eugenc Moore Nominuted for Auditor After u Spirited Contest. The call of the roll for the nomination of auditor of public accounts procecded without. incident until Douglas county was reached, and Chairman Broatel asked to ve passed. After York county had recorded its vote, Douglas was again called. Her vote was then announced ss follows. Hedluna, 51; Moore, 16; ©oon, 4; Clin Tue first bullot failed to give any one of the eight contestants a majority. There were 830 votes cast, it requiring 419 to nomi- nate.

Douglas ogain passed, and was finally rteacy Chairman Broatch started to announce the vote, when ho was interrupted by Schwenk, who insisted that more votes had been cast than there wero dolegates prosent and he demanded a poll of the delegation. Stevens said that Douglas county had se- cured the nomination of her candidato for Rovernor and she snouldu’t act the hog. He wanted the ninety-four votes of the delegation cast solidly for Healund, and ssserted that unldss he was nominated the tioket would Jose 15,000 Swedish votes in Lhe stute. The poll of the delegation resulted as follows : Hedlund, Bowerman, 14; Moore, 14; absent, 18, “The result of the secoud ballot was an- nounced as follow i when she o tund Moore.... .0, . el e Another rolloall was ordered.

The rolleall for the fourth ballot was commenced, Douglas again passed and In so aoing was forever de- prived of the opportunity of voung on audi- tor. Loug before the rolicall had béen completed 1% was pparent that Kugeus Moore would receive tho uominadon. On this balloi the Lavcaster peoplo stood solidly for her favoriwe, but when Lincoln county’s enalrman_ announced that “Linooln polis ber nine Hedlund votes for Eugene Moore,” tho remalnifg counties bogan to swing into line amidst grout entbusiasw, wibich was intensitied when Pholps couuty, the bowme of Mr. Hedlund, Moore, Before the secrotaries could commenca to foot up the totals Thomas Benton of Lan- castor arose and safd: “On bohalf of the dolezation from Lancaster county 1 wish to move that the nomination of Mr. Moors be made unanimous.” The wild scene of enthusiasm which fol- lowed beggars description, and it was fully five minutes before a lull in the cheers for the successful candidato gave the chairman an opportuuity to put the vote, which carried with a whirl. Moore Returns His Thanks, Then there wero cried for Moore, and while a committee went in search of the gentleman the chairman announced that a ratification meeting would be held at Omaha this evening, at which Governor McKinley would speak. He stated that the delegates who wished to attend would be able to leave on a special train at 4:30, At _this moment Mr, Moore appeared on the platform and was introduced to the con- vention as the next auditor of the state of Nebraska, Mr. Moore spoke as follows : ‘“Gentlemen ~ of the Convention—I coms before you s & republican, asking and believing that you are all republicans with me, and that you will supvort the republican ticket this fall, I assure you, whother I had beon successful or defeated in this conven- tion, 1 would have been glad to support and work for the ticket, and I would cousider every friend of mino who failed to do so was derolict in,bis duty, I liope sincerely that every volo that 18 cast here for mo 18 cast willingly and frecly, ana that all will go home in readiness to support the ropublican tickot. 1 thank you, gentle- men, for tho nomination, With that I have no more to say.” BARTLEY t its solid vote for OR TREASURER. Only One Ballot Necessary to Give Him the Nominution The chairman orderod the call of tho counties for the nomination for state treas- urer. That partof the convention hall in which the Lancaster county delegation was soated, or rather standing. gave unmi takable evidence that a disturbance of a volamic nature was in progress. D. G. Courtney was read‘ng the riot act and he appeared to be divecting tho most emphaue portion of his remarks to LORENZO CROUNSE, Auditor Benton. Ten minutes had passed be- fore order could bo restored, and then J. A. Castroof Adams struck a responsive chord by suggesting that a special sergeant-at-arms be nppointed to look aftor the Lancaster delo- gation. ‘The first and only ballot for treasurer was then commenced. The vote for Bartio, more rescmbled & procession than anything else. Douglas councy gave him ninety-one votes, twoof the remaining going to Youngers and the other to Wortham. Liancaster county divided her votos as fol- lows: Wortham,24; Bartloy, 21; Youngers, 6. Before the call had been comploted J. P. Milier of York moved thac Bartley be de- clarcd _the nominee by unanimous con- sent. His motion received no second and the call proceeded. As soon as it was completed many of the counties changed their votes to Bartivy, and John Barsby of Fillmore county moved, on behalf of Mr. Youngers, that Bartley’s nomination bo mado unanimous. It carried without dissent and the successful candidate was duly intro- duced. Hesaid: “Gentlemen of the Convention—I am deoply sensivlo of the honor conferred upon me o this occasion, ana should [ be elected no official act of mine shall ever cause you to rogret vour nct of today. On behalf of the ‘portion of the state in which 1 live, 1 wish to assure you that when the votes ara counted nexv November, we will then show to vou a just appreciation of this recogaition.” ALL THE REST BY ACCLAMATION, Goudy, Hastings and Humphrey Nominated Without Opposition. Castro of Adams moved that George H. Hastings be nominated for attorney general by acclamation. It was car.ied and the at- torney general thanked the convention as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention—Like the president of the United States, I am some- thiog of a second termer myself. If aught that 1 bave done during the past two years in the position for which you have just re- nomiuated me has been correctly and proper Iy done, of thav I am duly thonkful. For those thiugs which have mot been s0 done, that I duly regret and assure you that stict erroes, if errors there be, and un- questionably there ave, they are errors of the head and not of the neart, But, gentle- men of the convention, I canuot make & speech, yet before the close of the polls in Novemoor next I prom- ise you that overy man, woman and child 10 the state of Nebraska sball bhear me, and at that timo I propose 1o tell vou all I kaow and possibly move. | Laughter aud applause, | Thauking you, gentlemen, for the honor you have conferred upou me, which I assure you I wuly appreciate, and pleaging you the earn- est support of the ticket which you have named and will name, 1 bid you "godspeed and good usy.” [Apblause.] Humphrey and Goudy Went In, A dologate whose name escaped In the pre- vailing confusion moved the renomination of G, H.

C., Aug. 5—The senate waited for somo time after convening for a message from the house aud then went into oxecutive session and contirmed the follow ing nominations: To be judges of the pro- bate court in Utah—S. V. Arazier, William Goodwin, H. W. Harght, Jacob Johnson, John Rider, A. L. Robinsor, Henry Shields, Orange Secloy, Martin Stack and 1. Watson. During the executive session a message was rocelved from tho house with the World’s fair bill, ana after the doors re- opened it was Jaid boforo the senate in reular session. Vest said if o could defeat 1t by any sort of pariiamentary tactics he would do so cheorfully. It was evident, however, that the bill would pass, and ali be could hope to do would be to delay action on it Cockrel!, George, White aud Harr said they opposed the bill. Cullom said the peoplo of Chicazo were willing to let the government share propor- tionately tho profits of tho fair, if there should 0o any profits, but the houso did not put that condition in'the bill und it would be dangerous now to attempt to amend 1t. Sherman Speaks on the Bill, Sherman said he did not like tho way that this monsy was to be paid on tho part of the government.

There were some diminations ut the prescnt session, notably in derciencies to the amount of $£,000,000. There was also @ aiminution of $,000,000 in miscellancous ap- propriations. He believed that there was not & single public building bill that bad passed both houses this session, Mr. Gorman, a member of the committee on appropriations, commended the chuirman of that committee for his canaid statoment. It remmined, bowever, that tho appropria- tions at this session would excoed $500,000,- 000, notwithstanaing the extraordinary ef- forts of the house of representatives to keep them within reasonabie bounds, It was not altogether a party matter, for these immense appropriations were partly made necessary because of the growtn of the country, tho ex- tension of tho postal system and the expan- sion of the pension and othor permanent and necessary expendituros for which neither party should be held responsible. Of the immonse sum of #507,000,000 appropriated at the prosent scssion $50,000,000 had become necessary because of tho legislation of the Fifuy first_congress—a congress for which the democratic party had no responsibility.

At 10:35 Mr. Allison, of the committee to wait upon the president, reported that the committec had performea that duty and had been fuformed by thoe president that he had no further communication to make to either house, From this moment of time until 11 o'clock there was an ontiro cessation of business and senators and spectators waited rather impatieutly for the closing scene.

Some of the Objections Urged Agalnst the Subtreasury BilL, Wasmixagroy, D, C., Aug. 5.—The commit- tec on ways and means, through Mr. Mc- Millin, today made an unanimous report ad- verso to the subcreasury bill. The report 18 o lonj document and discusses all phases of the question. The objections to the bill arg briefly stated as follows: If there shoula be a reduction in value of goods after they are stored, below 8 per cent, tne government would lose; if the value increased the government would get none of the profit. The jurisdiction of the federal courts would boe increased as to make them an 1nstrument of oppression to the people. The bill teuds strougly towards centralization and intorferes with individual freedom, Great fluctuation in currency would follow its enactment, ‘The operation of the bill would not bo con- fined to farmers, but to tho icon mau, tho lumberman and Inanufactur generally would complaiu until the goverment fixed u limit to possible loss of 20 per cent to them, and 80 on. ‘I'he government would boe usurp: ing the functious of the citizens in attenaing to everybodys business but its own, Tho inuuguration of the sehcme would be the speculutor’s delight; he could carry $7.,000 worth of wheat wich less than §03,000 cash, and pay the government ouly 1 per cent in- terest, - The great increase in the mumber of federal officials would muke it ulmost ln- possible to dislodgoa corrupt admiuisteation, No provision 1s made for the reception of many millions 10 be issued under the bill, and the banks would bave the power to force s destruotion of any partof the government money.

It was at once one of the largest aud most enthusiastic mass meotings ever held in Nebraska. A beautiful moonlit night, Inapiring music, a spoaker of more than national prestige and an audicuce such as was never betore soen at a political meeting ln Omuna combined to do honor to the city und to its distinguishod guost. The nudience itself was an inspiration and an ovation. No orator could look over such a concourse as gathered to hear Major Mo Kinloy last night without a thought of pride, A large platform bad boon constructed at the southeast cornor of thne High school building and around 1t fully 25,000 people listoned to the great advocate of protection, Came In Great Throngs. The exercises had been advertised to begin at 7:30 o'clock, and long before that hour the 500 chairs 1n frout of the stand were occu. pied. The people lined the sidewalks and from each sldo of the grounds a continual stream of pushing, jostling humanity was elbowing its way toward the building, Long vefore dark the vacant space seemed nearly full and still thousands were wedging their wav into the human mass. At 8 o'clock the entiro south slope was an eddying, kaieidoscopic sea of faces, and they wera faces 1nto which any orator might be proud to look. AlL Classes Wero There, The olectrio lights that had been hung ovor the speakers’ platform cast their shim- mering radiance not slone upon the rugged countenances of the mechanic, the artisan and the laborer but revealed the flower of tho soclal und business circles of the Gate City. Thero were represented the profe sional man, the bauker, tho successful me ehant and the leader of society. 1t was such an nudience ns only u similar occasion could produce, where eniployer and the employed, the wealthy man of lisure and the laborer who toiled through the hot summor days to earn broad for his wito and little ones met to hear that which was of equal importance to them all, And they brought their wives with them, for mingied with the masculine array werd hundreds of damnty summer costumes crowned by fair faces” that watched as In- tently for the arrival of the speakor as though their interest carried a ballot with 1t. 1t was a remariably orderly ocrowd, too, and the proceedings wero uninterrupted save by the rumble of the cable trains and the ap- plause that rose and fell under tho spell of the speaker's magnetic utterances. At the right of tho platform a hundred carriages were grouped. Thoy. were neurly ali occupled by ladies, and spocial Interest contered around the one in which sat Mra. L)V.lckllnle_v in company with Mrs. General owin, Along with Governor MoKinley, At 8 o'clock the Second Infantry band took seats on the platform and its inspiring music entertained the crowd. whicn was bes coming somewhat imputient for the arrivai of Major McKinley. A few minutes afterwards the governor appesred and wus greoted with @ salvo of cheers as he proceeded to the platform. He was accompanied by Charles J. Groen, Mayor George 1. Bemis, Edward Rosowater, Hon. W. J. Connell, Judge C. R. Scott, Andrew Rosowater, Thomas Swobe, P. L. Perrine, Ralph Breckinbridgo and others, and Rev. J. G. Tate of Hastings, the repub. lican candidato for licutonant zovernor, #au also recognized in the crowd and escorted 1o a seat on tho platform. It was some time beforo the applause oo- casioned by the présence of tha orator of the evening bad subsided, and then Charies J. Green stopped to the front of the platform, He sald: “Iellow citizens, I have the honor of ine troducing to you Ohio's distinguished states man and governor, William McKinley." Greetod with Cheers. ‘I'nen the cheers broke out again ana Gov: ernor McKinley was enthusiastically wel comed us he stepped forward. The moment he began to speak the most ictense silence was lmssurved and excepting when the logical points of his nadross elicited the audible approbation of the audience the speaker was heard with the most earnest ate tention, Governor MoKinley's address was such wus expected from the man who more thas any other bad reason to be familiar with the principles of the great republican doctrine of protection. It was a_concise aud effective presentation of the differencos between the two great political parties on this important question, The speaker disdained to uso the tuctics of buncombe und sophistry so often affected by stump speakers. Ho reiied on & pluin statement of 1ndisputable facts and the logic of his arguments was {irresistible, Ha deait with the subject not as a politician but with the gonius of a statesman. His reasoning was that of a master of the ques- tion who saw in 1t first of all the beperits to acerue to the masses of the poople. e did not generalize to any extent upon superficial applications, but considored the tarlff quo tion in 1ts brondest 50, and his arguments most effectually demolished the puny ef- forts of the opponeuts of the protective system, Expialning the Differences. In his introduction Mujor McKinloy sald that ho did ot come to appeal to the projus aices of his audience nor to excite their pas. sions, but to present simply and fraukly the differo.co between tho two great political parties of the country on the tariff question, _He defined this existing difference in & man- ner,that in & fow seutonces made clear the thebries of each party. T'ie democratic party stood for a tariff for revenue, while the re- publicun party malotained oue for protection to American fndustrios and American labor as well, The democratic doetrine imposed & tariff on articles which could not be producea in this country, while the republican priaci- ple wus oxactly opposite. The protective tariff, while raising revenue, discriminated in fuvor of the domestic producer and aguiust the foreign producer. Pract.osl Protection Ilustrated, Lifting the earthen pitcher that stood on tha table beside him, Mujor MecKinley saids: “'Wo put & tariff of b5 per ceut on that pitener. ‘That trifl bas 8 tendency to di courage forelgn importations and to encour- age domestio manufacture, It was put there for thut purpose.

As soon as quict was restored he continue out it there in 1553 and it bas fulfillea its purpose. We now have the finest potter; | worka waywnoro lu the world aud thiy pitcher is cheaper than it over was before, Major McKinley dvelt at some length upon the binelits that ihe protective tariff brought 10 farmers, and in tho midst of & sentence sofieone Ju the rear of the sudience lniers ruptad by a question in which only the word “Eugland” was sudible. cau't quite bear you, my friend plied the governor, *'bit you are evidently & democrst because you sre talking of K land,” wod the iuterlocutor subsided, wi
