GEN, WEAVER NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS Ninth Distrlet Demosrats Demand Free Silver wt 16 to 1 and ¥ the Work of the Fops- De- tuils of the Kow, The democrats of the Ninth congressional district held their state convention in Dohany's opera house yesterday afternoon. The outcome of the convention was pretty well determined befors the chalrman's gavel fell, for it had been a foregone conclusion that General Jumes B. Weaver, the pcpulist candidate for congress, would be the nom inee, and that a resolution advocating the free and unlimited coinage of silver would be adopted, but everybody looked for a deuce of a t'me {a bringing about these two things, and everybody was not disappsinted. Chairman 8. B. Wadsworth of the con- gressional committee called the meeting to order in the forenoon and recommended for temporary chairman G. W. Cullison of Harlan, and for secretary G. E. Ferguson of Harrison county. These two gentlemen took their places on the platform, and Mr. Culli son made a specch along the usual lines which provoked but little stir until he came to the close of his speech, when be besought all democrats to go out and elect whomso- ever the ccnvent'on should nominate, whether the them pers candidate 1ly or not This remark seemed to indicate that he was a fusionist, and Frank Allen, the editor of the Greenfleld Advocate, thought it was time to declare himself. r We don't come here as populists, but as democrats,” he shouted. “If a democrat is nominated we will all sing ‘Glery Hallelufah,' was satisfactory to but if Weaver is put up, he wiil find he has a great many enemfes.’ At this point In his remark he was in- terrupted by J. J. Shea ot who rose to a point of order. sustained and Allen sat down. On motion of R. N. Whittlesey a call of counties was had, and the following commit- tees were chosen Credentials—R. M. Carpenter of Audubon, A. Gardner of Cass, John Menges of Guthrie, G. H. Smith of Harrison, Henry Maxwell of Mills, 0. A. Milner of Montgomery, J. W. Hemsted of Pottawattamje, B. W. Gregory of Shelby and E. H. Bickford of Adair. Resolutions—W. H. Brinkerhoft of Audubon, 3. Willard of Cass, J. Sexton of Guthrie, R. . Kidder of Harrison, Otto Barnett of Mills, . 0.

King of Harrison, A. E. Dean of Mills, Charles Kelley of Montgomery, J. W. Crow of Pottawattamie, J. W. Smith of Shelby and J. M. Timberlake of Adair. Congressional Central Committee—C. A. Marlin' of Audubon, H. Wilcox of Cass, J. Sexton of Guthrie, R. Harris of Harrison, J. L. Donlan of Miils, F. C. Clark of Mont- gomery, S. B. Wadsworth of Pottawattamie, G. W. Cullison of Shelby and 8. Y. Cornell of Adair. The convention then adjourned until 1:30 p. m. OPENED THE FRAY EASILY. At the afternoon session the committee on permanent organization recommended P. P. Kelley of Glenwood for chairman, G. E. Ferguson of Logan for clerk and 8. Y. Cor- nell of Adair county for reading clerk. The report was adopted, but Cornell was found to be sick and R. Harris of Missouri Val- ley was chosen to fill the place. The com- mittee on credentials made their report, and Chairman Kelley made a very short speech, in which he said that “this was the time for action—we can dicuss the question after- wards. Kelley of Pottawattamie tried to get rid of one troublesome thing without further ado and moved that the nomination of a con- gressional candidate be made at onca with- out waiting for the report of the committee on resolutions. He was voted down by a large majority. Chairman Shea of the com- mittee soon hove in sight, bearing a manu- script in his hand, which he proceeded to read. On all the planks of the platform but one the committee had agreed. The resolutions favored a national committee of arbitration for disagreements between employers and employes; endorsed the income tax; favored the election of senators by direct vote of the people and bound the nominee of the conven- tion to do all in his power to bring such a thing about; denounced all senators who are standing in the way of the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, and endorsed President Cleveland’s letter to Congressman Wilson. The plank upon which. there was a dis- agreement was the first one In the platform, that with reference to silver. The majority of the commiitee favored the free and un- limitd coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without the consent of any other na- tion 'on earth. The reading of this plank pro- voked loud shouts of joy from a part of the democrats and a great many populists who had scattered themselves around promiscu- ously among the delegates. Judge E. Willard of Atlantic had a minor- ity report which he then read. This report recommended that the plank in the state platform providing for the free coinage of silver so far as it could be done withoul depreciating the value of the gold dollar be substituted for the silver resolution presented by the majority of the committee, He moved the adoption of this minority report and made a speech in its favor. PLEADED FOR HARMONY. his ds a democratic convention,” said he, “and I belieye we should put ourselves in accord with the democrats of the state and the United States. It is not our duty nor within our power to make a platform and inject fnto it something not in harmony with the democratic state platform. I am in favor of maintaining the parity of gold and silver—not of putting into circulation a depreciated currency. If we throw open our gates and invite the whole world to bring in their silver for coinage, how much would your silver dollar be worth in a little while?” “A hundred cents,”” shouted out some one in the rear of the room. “Throw him out,”” “Don’t listen to hin came from a score or more of democratic and populistic throats. ~ For as much as a minute there was a hullabaloo that promised to break up the convention in a free-for-all fight, but finally the confusion died down suffclently so that J. J. Shea could make himself heard. “Mr. Chairman,” sald he, “I move that the chair appoint two sergeants-at-arms, with instructions to efect from the room any one who interrupts the speaker again.” A little fat man on the west side of the room seconded the motion. It was carried and Shea and the little fat man were ap- pointed to serve in the capacity of official bouncers of the convention. But their sery- were not needed, for Shea had shown his ability as a scrappér in the morning be- fore the opening of the convention and none Pottawattamie, The point was raising the row were disposed to question it. Judge Willard went on with his speech, opposing the free coinage resolution, finally closing with the words: “Give us a demo- cratic platform and then nominate as your candidate & man who has been with us all these years—not one who next year, perhaps, will be off in Arizona trying to link his for- tune with some other political party." Shea then stepped to the front {n support of the majority report. He held that the state platform did not bind the delegates to a congressional convention any more than the national platform bound the candidates who were elected upon it. He then read the silver plank from the democratic platform of 1892, and then called the attention of the convention to the fact that Secretary Carlisle had gone right in the face of it and depleted the national treasury by paying oft all obli- ations of the country in gold, instead of in silver, as the platform had sald. His remark to the effect that every man who is In favor of corporations or trusts is opposed to the free colnage of silver called forth delighted howls from the populists and free silver dem- erats, and when he had finished the conven- ‘ on was propared to sit down ch?er(ully, OMAHA THE upon Judge Willard and his minority report. This was accomplished by a vote of 76 to 21. Pottawattamie's delegation voted for free siver solidly, although I. F. Hendricke pro- tested agalnst his vote being reckoned in on that side. The unit rule worked, how- ever, and he was pulled into .line, much against his will. The Adalr, Guthrie, Mills and Montgomery delegations voted solidly for the free siiver plank, while the Cass county delegation voted as solidly against it The other counties were divided on the ques- | tion. The majority report was then adopted | by a vote of the same kind | WEAVER WON IN A WALK The attempt to fuse with the populists on the nomination of General Weaver was then There were accomplished on the first ballot but two candidates, and the vote was as Counties, J.

Genung, although he | had to go with twenty-three com- patriots As soon as his the result of the ballot had been announced Frank Allen of Greenfield Jumped to his feet and said, “Mr. Chairman, I thought this was a democratic convention He was about to deliver himself of some more oratory, but the convention began a chorus of cat calls and yells that wasted his sweetness on the desert air. Shea and a number of other delegates very magnani- mously wanted to let him talk, but there was 50 little let up in the confusion that Allen stuck his hat on his head and stalked in a dignified manner from the room, exclaiming, “Very well, I will withdraw from this con- vention.” He was followed soon after by the ottqr members of his delegation General Weaver was in the city, but he did not show up at the convention hall. As soon as the meeting adjoruned he was found in a buggy just outside the door with Henry Spetman. He held an informal reception on the street corner, shaking hands with all the democrats and populists who presented themselves for the operation, but he re- frained from making a speech. As the convention was wafting itself through the outside door Hon. Thomas Bow- 1. who had been an interested spectator, said to a friend: “Well, that's an awful dose to swallow, but I guess we'll have to swallow it. At any rate I can swallow it a good deal better than a good many of the men who plugged up the scheme.” EXCITEMENT STILL CONTINUES, Bennison Bros. Nearly giving away summer stuff.

The second day's exerciees of the Epworth league district conference were witnessed by about ninety delegates from a distance, In addition to a large number of church going people of the city. The program was carried out almost exactly as announced beforehand, the only change being at the evening serv- ice. Rev. Frank Crane of Omaha was ad- vertised to deliver an address, but he had not yet returned from Colorado Springs, so that his engagement had to be canc:lgd. Prof. C. M.

This morning at 8 o'clock there will be a praise service of half an hour, followed by the business session, at which’ the commit- tees will make their reports and the officers for teh ensuing year will be elected.

He came from St. Louis, but thinks that Sterling was an assumed name. Since he quit work at the Terminal bridge he had had but little work to do, so he told Wolff when he met him on the street one day last week, and he spoke of going to Sioux City to get work on the bridge there. He was a first class workman and as stout as an ox, excepting for a weak wrist, for which he had to wear a leather or plaster of paris cast.

Suys He Didn't Want It. B. H. Odell of the Manhattan Beach Im- provement company takes exception to the statement that there was any rivalry between his company and Colonel F. C. Reed over the possession of the eighty-acre strip of land immediately east of the bath houses on the south side of the lake. The property has been listed with him for sale at $1,500 for the past three years, and during that time his company had all the chance it could want to purchase it. Ben Marks was about to buy It for $1,600, Odell says, when Reed conceived the idea that the Manhattan peo- ple were after it and offered $100 more, which knocked the persimmon.

Aug. 8.—(Speclal Telegram The shippers at many points throughout the state remote fr Des Moines are agitating for supplemental hear- ings on the petition of the railroads for an increase in freight rates, cn account of the expense that would be entailed by a trip to Des Moines to attend the gencral hearing of all parties interested, which is to occur at the office of the railroad commissioners at the cepitol on August It seems probable that the commissioners will grant the request. A peculiar feature of the peti- tion of the railroads is the fact that it makes no specific request for a stated in- crease on a specific article. It has been the custom heretofore to ask merely for an in- crease in certain parts of the schedule, and in case it was granted to append the change to the schedule of rates as adcpted and pub- lished. From the nature of the petition, it is presumed the roads will ask for a general increase in rates on all classes of goods. The annual repcrts of the raflroads of the state for the year 1893, show that more men were employed than for several years in all departments of the road, and that a higher average rate of wages was paid.

Large numbers of the old veterans came in today and they are arriving by every train tonight. 1t is expected fully 5,000 of the old heroes will be here and they will hold all sorts of camp fires and reunions and recount the scenes of thirty vears ago. The decorations at the capitol building are about complete and will be the most elaborate ever at- tempted here. The buflding and grounds will be brilliantly illuminated tomorrow and Fri- day evening and a reception will be held by the governor and other state officers to- morrow evening, which fs expected to be a very brilliant affair. There will be a grand parade on Friday, but the distance covered will be short in deference to the infirmities of many of the old veterans who will par- ticipate. CARD FROM COLONEL EIBOE!K.

We are receiving live stock in plenty for each day's killing, and are shippng out our trains of dressed beef in refrigerators regularly. The strikers have endeavored to get the switchmen to reufse to hendle any of our cars in hope that this would help them, but so far as I can learn, the switchmen are not in sym- pathy with any such m:vement.” Sup:rintendent Noyes of Hammond's pack- ing establishment safd: “The situation is about the same as it was on yesterday, but the strikers have now begun molesting our employes, and in several Instances have com- mitted brutal assaults, We have about all the men we can use at present, and are kill- ing both beef and hogs.

The sheriffs surrounded the house to prevent an escape, Schurman hav ing twice before got away from the officers He is a notorious, viclous, desperate char- acter, and was wanted for the prominent part ‘he played in the riots in the Union shaft six weeks ago, when the company men at work were so brutally beaten as they came from the shaft. Deputy Sheriff Hanley went to the door of the house and knocked. Receiving no reply he went to the window and heard the rattle of something that afterwards proved to be cavalry sabers, which the inmates had kept stored under the beds. Hanley opened the blinds and was met with Anton Schurman, Joseph's father, who brandished a long sa- ber and tried to cut Hanley's head off. Then an entrance was forced into the house by breaking in the door, and the sheriffs were confronted wigh the older and younger Schurmans and their wives, all armed with cavalry sabers. A determined effort was made by the sheriffs to disarm their op- ponents, and it was not until one of their number, A. A. Coley, had been dangerously wounded that they resorted to the use of firearms, Three shots were fired, and young Schurman fel' to the flocr mortally wounded The miners living in the neighborhood hear- ing the shots rushed from their homes to the scene of the disturbance, and an effort was made to mob the sherifis. A tele- phone message was sent to the militia bar- racks, and their prompt response probably saved the lives of the deputy sheriffs, who were by this time surrounded by an angry and determined mob of desperate fcreigners, many of whom were armed. The militla men used their bayonets and dispersed the mob. The Incident has aroused the anarchistic element, who are vowlng vengeance against the deputies, but soldlers are now on guard around the hotel where the wounded deputy is lying. A state of intense oxcitement prevals, and it is feared there will be more bloodshed befcre the day s over. were Kansas City Butchers May Go Out, KANSAS CITY, Aug. 8.—A meeting of 150 local packing house butchers was held last night to consider the strike situation in Omaha, Chicago and St. Louis.
