ADDRESSED BY ~ ORGANIZER ALLEN Object of the League Explained—The Glory of the Party Sot Forth and Success Predicted —Chalrman and Seo- retary Chosen, A meeting of the delegates eleoted by the various republican clubs of Douglas county 10 attend the convention of Republican League clubs at Grand Ieland next Wednes- day was held last evening at republican headquarters, There were about sixty of the delegates present, which is but one-third of the total celegation. The meeting was called to order by Brad Slaughter, secretary of the Republican State league, who introduced ex-Cougressman Allen of Michigan, nationsl organizer of the Republican League of the United States. He said: “1 nsed not say that it eives me pleasure to look Nebraska republicans in the face, for we take credit up in Nichigan for having oproctically scttled Nebraska. 1 can always tell a republican crowd when I 800 one, because republicans are always in favor of poing ahedd aud doing something, while, on the contrary, democrats are 8o built that they aro more comfortable sitting still. They might proverly be termed the hold- buck party. Stili they have a mission to per- form. They are a sort of necessary evil. Topublicans ure very progressive and we night got too radical at times. The demo- crats as individoals may think as much of our country as we do, but the policy of their party hampers them and has a tendency to cramp their minds, and with them in power for suy considerable length of time the country would have stagnation and n repeti- tion of the ante-bellum days, when they demonstrated that they wore not progressive and that the things that did for their grand- fathers would answer for them. Work of the National L The republican party was born a.nid_the throcs of the threatened dissolution of the union, when who country was gradunlly drifting to destruction. It took. hold wh the country was only a fifty yoars’ exper ment. and has made 1t what it {s today—one of the greatest and most respected nations on the face of the globe. cess of republican institutions in country depends on individual effort and that effort must be conceutrated. Q'he smallest part of politics is gotting Me A. into office or getting Mr. B. out. It is tn carrying out priveiples that the great good comes to a coantry. This is where the Re- pubtican National loague comes fnto pla That great organization is not for the pu; pose of furthering the interests of any ono man or set of men. It is simply to perpétuate the principles of the republican party, be- Jieving them to be for the best intercsts of this great country. “T'he coming covention at Grand Island is @ most important onc. This greut stato ought to be in the formost ranicol republican st Iv has been built up by mon who car for the most part, without a cent, and they made its greatness under wiso li put upon the statute books by a republican congress aud under a republican executive. Not a foot of ull theso broad ncros wouid havo been given to homestoaders if the democrats had had their way. That law was passed under Lincoin, of blessed mem- ory, after it had been vetoed by James Bu- chianan, tho lust democratic president they were able to elect until thoy placed Grover Cleveland fa the executive mansion, and he was the last ono they ever will sce, Triumph at the Polls Prophested, “Now, then, is thic nower to be allowed to Dpass away from the republican party? Every vote cast for Weaver is one for Cleveland. If the election, through the misguided efforts of the people’s party, is thrown into the house what will ve the result? It is not problematical. This presentcongress, which is democratic two to ove, will settlo the matter, The Fiity-second congress will then name the nextpresident. and their selection would be Grover Cleveland beyond tune shightest doubt. It must be apparent to any scusible man, and our republican voters who Eave temporarily strayed away will see it before the day of election dawns und geturn to their first love, and carry this state for Harrison, for Reid, for the Unton and for the princi- pies of the republican party. “QOur friends, the enemy, cannct point to & single act_of this admimstration hat has not redounded to its creait, Ten. min Harrison 15 1 point of ubility the peer of any president this country has ever hud, with the possivle exception of Lincoln, He did not humiliato a weak power like Chil, but compelica her to recognize our rights, and to proud Ingland sula, ‘You must right thatwrong,’ His foreign policy has added to standing among the nations of the gue. ntlemen, when you go to Grand Island 1 ouly ask thut you seud to tho national con- Vention at Buffalo men who are republicans, men of standing and ability, who will ropre- cut this state with credit, for they will thore come in contact with men from all parts of the country, and 1 say 0 you tuat tho action there taken and the work result- ing from it will go far towurd setthing the coming election.” Mr, Allen was booked to nddross the Council Bluffs Republican club, and was compelled to cut short bis address and take the motor to g0 across the river, His re- marks were received with applause, asd he was cordially invited to aguin address Omaha republicans, Organizing the Delegation, Mr. A. C. Troup was then elected chair- man of the meetng and Charles Unitt secre- tary, A call of tho various clubs’showed that a total of 187 delegates had been elected to go to the Grand Islana convoution, The meeting proceeded to elect a chairman 1o head the entive Douglas county delega- tion, and the names of T. K. Sudborovgh and Richard Smith were placed 1n nomination, Then urose the question as to whother those present should vote the absentoes or whether only the votes of those present should be consiaered, and it was finally de- ciaed to postpone the whole matter until more could be on bhand, either at a subso- quent calied meeting or after the aelegution ot to Grand Island, Judge Eller wauted a chairman olected a day or two before starting, us some of the dolegates might want to confer with him and there were s0me arrangewents to bo made, He thought another meeting should be beld Monday night. ‘The matter was finaily reconsidered and a ballos of those present was taken. It re- sulted: Smith 30, Sudborough 29, and Smith wan declured the duly clected chairman and was called to the chair. A committee consisting of the chairman and Messrs. Sudborough, Breckenridge, Van Dusen and Timme wus appointed to look aftor all necessary urrangemonts. W. A. Messick was elected secretary of the delegation, Tulked About Unit Rule, Then arose the question of unit rule. Judge Eller didu’t b'ave that 50 many delegatos could bo mady to think alike, while Cliuton Powell boped that for once Douglas county ‘wouid turn over a new leal and vote solid on ovoryibing, He suid 1t would be so novel and 80 refreshlug Lo have such an experience thatbo nopod It would b0 done. ke said Douglas county had consigned itsell to ignominy in the eyes of all the rest of the stute by its continued differences, and ho prayed for a new departure. As there were less than halt the delegates prosent it was deemed inadyisable to exact & uuit rule. On motion of J. B, Reeve It was declared 1o be tho sense of tho mecting that J. M.

Robison urged that the dele- gation staud together on all questions, apa called attention to what such action bud accowplisiied at the state cou- vention, He said thut Douglas covnty had not only secured the nomination of ber cu- didate for governor, but had also had u hand in every other nomination that was wade, although one whole day of the convention had been spent in an attemptto bombard tho Douglas county delegation Lo pleces, _ Ralph Breckeurlage ca.led attention to the fact that the headquarters of the central | committee had becn located in Lincoln, He said that the republican league was going to be as important a factor in the campaign as the state centrul committee, and he thdugnt thut the proper thing to do would be to se- cure the location of league hoadquarters and the president of the league for Omaha, This suggestion met with favor. The commiztee on arrangements will an- nounce Monday when the delezation will leave. Mr, Slaughter called attention to the fact that Lancaster *counly was going to do tbe thing up brown in the way of sending flam- beau clubs and men in uniform and sug- ested that Douglas didn’t want to be left. Besides the 150 Lancaster delegates, the Young Men's Republican ciub of Lincoln to the number of 365 will o to Grand Island in a vody, accompanied by two flambeau clubs, one whito and one black, Tne Dovglas county delegatios will be nheaded by the Thurston drum corps, and ar- rangements are being made for the Fifth Ward Flambeau cluo in uniform to go along.

(Governor Boyd is the only democratic governor Nehraska has ever had and I think all will agree that bis ad- ministration has been clean, ecovomical and in everywise charactorized as up to a high standard. I would hate to seo that standard lowered in the eyes of the people by the nomination of an 1nferior man ; and I believe that the nomination of a man less eminentiy qualified would result in driving a great many democrats to the support of either one of the other candidates, both Crounse and Vao Wyck being men of a bigh order of ability and personal character.” St. Paul Veterans Form a Clab, St. PAvL, Neb, Aug. 27.—[Special Tele- gram to Tuz: Bek.|—The old soldiers’ organ- 1zation known as tho Howard County Veteran association mode its club a permanent thing today.

Then they con- cluded that they had hidd about enough of Aristophanes, Pythigoras, and the philosophy of tho Paripatetics, and they proposed to wind me up. The next morning the boss gave my ordoers in Greek, the cook asked me in choice Latin whether I wonld take ‘sap’ or sirup on my slapjac! and a cow- puncher with a big revolver sticking out of his bootleg besought me in Per- sian to reserve my kindergarten loarn- ing for the babes of civilization.

Viadaot Talk Agaln Indulged In—A Petl- tion Clreulated. Vinduct talk has again beon rqvived and there 13 a prospect that it will assume some- thing like tangible shape this time. For the post year tho question has been talked of again and again, and all sorts of schemes havo been suggested, but noue have been acted upon. There are thoso who wanta viaduct over the railway tracks on N street, otbers think a foot bridge the proper thing, and an underground tunnel has its cham- pions. Thoy all vie with each other that the teacks should be briaged in some way or an- other, and when the conflicting interests get together and agree upon ono of the threo propositions something will be done, and propably not uatil then, Cusnior Bostwick of the South Omaha National bank has interested bimself in the matter and yesterday started out with a petition among the property owners on N street west of Twenty-sixth strest. Tho petition asks the council to take steps to construct a viaduct over the tracks on N street, starting at a point west of the alley between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets and landing on the property of the Union stcek yards on the west of the tracks. Somo time ago, City Engineer King pre pared an ostimate of the cost of construct- ing an overhead foot bridge over the tracks at the requestof tho council, and he also pronounced the scheme impracticabie, bo- cause the span would be too long. [He also prepared an estimate of the cost of an underground passage, which will cost about $3,000. Both estimates were kindly re- ceived and tenderly consignea to thé care of the city clerk, whero they are resting today, and will probably there remuin. It Me. Bostwick meets with any success in securing signers to his petition, it is probable that the council will take 1mmedi- ate action and a viaduct will be constructed over the tracks on N street betore another year has come and gone. Grew Violently Insane, George I". Newman, a well known citizen, livieg at P'weuty-tirst and G streets, has be- come violently insane. He first showed the nptoms of ivsanity Friday, and as the day wore on he grew worse, Tn the evening he became violent and secuving a hatchet made an attempt to annihilato the whole family.

Bostox, Aug. 17.—Boston has long pos. sessed an excelleut reputation s a summer re- sort,and western peopie have sung the praises of its cool climats in a mauner that has de- lighted whilo it has at times astonshed their eastern cousins, This summor, ndw- ever, has rather withered Boston's laurels ia this respect; for with the morcury in the nineties for several successive days, to say nothing of a stickiness that is excessive even for August, it might seem a little difficult to make good Boston’s claim to comfortable coolness, Itis only in the narrower sense of Boston that there is any real difficulty in upholding its claims s asummer city. Washington street may e red hot ana the frog pond on Boston common all but sizzle, and yet there may be places within the delivery district of the Boston postofiice where the mercury will register six to cight degrees lower than in Boston proper— places where the wind comes cool und strong across tho water, aud hlaukets are comfortable o nights, Boston is justly proud of her suourbs, and beauti ful asare Longwood and Brookline and the preat breathing space of Franklin park, thesc are all on the inland side of the city. Itis to ner harjor that Bostou turns for comfort during a heated term, and it is sel- dom, very seldom, lhat she turns iu vain, Not to speak of the more distaut shores of Nantasketand Cohasset on the one side, nor of Nahant and Swampscott on the other; right here (“here’ being Cottags park, Winthrop Center), with all Boston’s water- front in plain sight and the new pier in the South Boston Mavine park just opposite, one can be comfortable while the dog-star is in the ascendant and at the same time have one's mail delivered by a Boston lewer carrier! It s, roughly speaking, twenty minutes from tte Boston, Lynn & Revere Beach railway station on Atlautic avenue, to Win- throp Center, and the first stage of ‘the skort journey 1s by ferryboat across one of the most interesting portions of Boston inner harbor, runuiug close to the great warships of the White Squadron whon they happen to bo in port, aud swinging nto the ferry- slip with tho great Cunarders lying at the docks scarcely more than astone's-throw away. The little narrow gauge railway keeps the narvor well in »1ight, and the stations hav_hat indescriba- Dlo summery air, as though life had sud- denly bocome ore grand picnic—as, in truth, it does very largely in avout Boston during the summer months, thanks to ‘“early closing” with 1ts shortened hours. From the station to the park is only a short dis- tarco, and a barge is the means of convey- ance. Now, 4 ‘‘barge” cisewhere than in New Englund is a boat. Hereabouts, bow- ever. 1015 & “bus;” not drawn as oue might fancy by o sea-borse, but by the orainary quadruped—and Fe 1s ordinury, os o rule, Cottage park and Bartlett purk are under the samo management, and only a line of cottages separates them. The Bartlett house, which 1s used for chumbers and for some of the entertainments, stands facing the sea, while the Jawn in front of it is laid out for tepnis, & grove of tall trees shading it all threugh tho long sumwmer afternoons. A litule to the right of the Bartleut house is the Cottage Park house, where the occupants of both houses and the neighboring cottages take their meals, and ou Saturday nights the tables aro cleared away for the ‘‘hop,” that being tho name for the somewhat informal dauces that have come to be a matter-of- course at New £ngland summer resorts on the last night of the week. Cottage park, which is laid out in a more formal manner, has threo neut little cottages on each side, the cottages facing each other being practically the same, though the Bluft cottaye has u large square room with 4 pi- azza, both of which command a fine view of the harbor. Grassplats and flowerbeds, with smaller trees than those of Bartlett park, adorn the gentle slopo in the center, while a flight of steps lead down to the pier that runs out from the peboly buthing beach. So much for the mere detail—the setting of tho stage, the frame for the piciure that sky und air and sea provide, Done to death us all descriptive writing has been, to speak of this place and not to say something about the most beautiful part of it, is to play “Hamlet” and omit the prince. The broad ocean under summer’s sun s beautiful, out the hurbor view that one has here is more picturesque. Islands lead tie eye across the water, emphasizing the distance; boats of many kinds, from the great ocean “huers to the littie sailboats and dorie; though the dory belongs as a type rather more to Swampscott and Glou- cester—pnss and repass between the islands: little flaws and cloudshadows tura long reaches of water into strange grecns and biues and purples, whilo faroff to the distant horizon Bostou outer light stands white or gray in the daylight or waxes and wanes, being a revolving light by vight. Whoiber the water 18 glitlering in_the sunsnine or showing duark saa threatening unaer heavy ~ stormclouds, or gleaming in silvery stretehs under the full moon from the orange lights of the light- houses to the east, arovud to the electric lizhts, clear and cold, of Boston’s water- front on the west, it 15 always something to watch; capable’ of sudden effects in light and shadow that are novel and striking to its most careful observers. Ouce in & while a widnight thunder-storm comes along, and the sea is lit up by a violet radiauce thav blinds the eye to the lights of Hotel Pemberton, which lies farther down the harvbor at Hull, while the after flash glinmers faintly on the distant clouds across the bay. Even when the tide goes out—us all tides must, alas!—there 13 no disagree- ablo odor, nor unything worse than great patches of eel-grass for the 6ye Lo Test upon; and beyond this is the great barbor chanunel leadiog out to the biue of the distant ses, and ascross the chanuel, the bluc hills of Milton rise agamst the horizon, 1t is quiet aud restful here with this com- bination of couutry and seashore. ‘Ihe sea air 18 always soothing, and sound sleep has been the rile, while twenty minutes away the Inhabitants of Boston have sweltered through nights of broken and feverish slum- bor when they have slept at all. This may be due in part to the construction of a large proportion of the cottages, which are mero watertight shells of wood, wany-gabled, plerced by numerous doors and windows, with high-peaked roofs that give large air spaces to the breezy chumbers. Mr. O, I Belcher, the proprietorana landlord, planned these builaings with special roforence to se- curing breezes from all quarters and the nooks, corners and gables that resulted aad much'to the picturesqueness as well us to the comfort of the place, For those who do nov care for water ex- cursions. there ure pleasant walks and drives, The old town of Winthrop lies just across the rallway with its churches, its baildiogs of the older colonial style—a pleasant con- trast to the more modern architecture of the uewer portion. Or one muy Start cityward in the later twilight and watch the hghts of Boston town as they make brilliant poluts in the dark mass that rises, o trifle grimly, against the western sky, whilo the wina comes cool across the water— though there 1s very little of that dampness (barring the incvitable dog-day stickiness) thal takes so mucb from the pleasure of mauy out-of-lown resorts. ‘Then, again—this Lime o the east—one may go out on the loog pier and bave almost the sensu- tion of being utloat, without the danger of a0 upse; or thu risk of sea sickness. The bathing is sufe, the beach slopiog gradually and the water coming up quictly, luppiug gontly upon the st ore, For those who cesire to find a comfortable place within eusy reach of Boston &na yet away from the dust, uoise and heat of the city, Cottuge Park may well prove attract- ive; the more so that the great orowd of the unwashed that bave practically ruined the best of Nantasket beach, avoid it like the pestilence.
