Work will now be rosu :ed here as soon as it is possible to gev the mills in_operation. While the settlenient directly affcets some 25,000 or 80,000 skilled workmen 1n the Amalgamated assoiation, fully 100,600 others are interested.

Moan of Dakota county dropped in for a few minutes in conncetion witi the licuteuant goverior's job, aithough his 1nno- cent, guileless smile when he assured every body that he was secklng nothing at the hands of his party made some of them be- ieve ho reallv meant what ho said. One thiug is dead sure—Mr. Moau’s frionds haven't laid down becauss of his professed indifference.

Iu was urged that the democrats of Nebraska hiad held enough midnight conventi and that it was time for them to do a little work in open duylight, but the urgument would have lost the day but for the statement of a member to the effect that the republicans bhad nominated a corking good ticket as the result of opesing their coavention at 10 o'clock, and that if this in itself was 50 po- tent for a good ticket the democvats cerialnly couldn’t afford to ignore 1t. This argument was incontrovertible, and that is why tho democratic convention will meet at the samo hour as did the republican gathering o Lin- coln iast U'nursday. Then the apportioument was ordered to re- main the same as for the last state couven- tion, being based on the voie cast for Sprague for secretary of State LWo yeurs ago. It will give the conventic dolegar Douglas county being entitled to 1035, al- though the local leaders may take it into their heads to send 200, just as they did last spring.

A com- mittee of three was appointad to draft suit- ablo resolutions in memory of this deceased member of the commit and to censure the paners for printing a *villainous slander of most excellent man, inspired by the per- sonal malignity of people in_the community in which he lived, when thers were no grounds for the suspicion of suicide..” A resolution was adopted declaring in favor of placing in tomination a *full’ ticket of clean, able men and wuging in their behall an active, nggr ve campaien,” and declar- ing further tnat from information received from reliable sources in all parts of the state Lhcre were very good chances of success at the election 1n November, A lengthy discussion ensued over the prop. asition to invite Hon. W. J. Brvan and Geu- cral Adlal 1. Stevenson to address the con- vention on the night of August 30, It was stated that Tobo Castor had srranged to huve the vice prosidential nomince speak at the state fair on *‘democrat day,” September &, and that caused troublo, because severa! of the members were opposed to “demosrat duy* on general principles. It was urged by 115 supporters that there would be *repub- lican day” and *independont day’ at the fair, and that 1f the democrats didu’t also huve a day the folks wouldu't know they were “in it.” Laid Dow Doesu’t Like the Idea. Mr. LeHew iusisted on the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions disapproyv- ing of *‘democrat duy® at the stace fair or of in oy way twrning the state faie into a political gathering. He said he didu't be- lieve in state fuirs anyway as they were wanaged in Nebrasks and bhe dido’t think that the committes should tuke officiul notic of the wnteution of ihe falr management 1o ring in the democratic purty as & sideshow, Furthermore, be knew that it would be & mignal failure if sucn a thing was atteinpted as the state fair couldn’t be turned into democratic meeting with any success and intimated that iv noeded an audience made up entirely of democrats to make u thoroughly successful and satffactory demo- atie meoting, Ho balieced that 1t was not only out of place but that nothing would be gained by it, as it wouldn'v help® democracy out through the state @ bit.
