On motion the prepared was adopted without read- came to list ing. Captain €. B. Adams of Nuckolls elected chairman unanimously. In response to an invitation for a speech he made a fine address, prefacing his remarks by the words: “We are here to nominate a good, honest, clean man; we are here to do that and victory will be perched oa cur ban- ner.” Ira Cole of Hitchcock was elscted pecre- tary.

Moore, Dundy McKeeby, Webster; J. L. Thompson, lin; L. W. Hague, Kearney; S. A. Nuckolls; 8. R. Razee, Frontier. They reported the following which were adopted: PLATFORM AS ADOPTED. the republicans of the Fifth con- ssional district of Nebraska, In conven- tion assembled, reaffirm the republi tional platform of 1832, and in ha herewith make the following declarati Loyalty and obedience to our national stitution, as the cred bond to an insepar- able union, are the primary duties of Ame fean citizenship. The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and alter their constitutions of government, but the constitution which at any time ex: itts, till changed by an explicit and authen- U ‘act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. While socialistic and anarchistic discontent may be a paradise for a demagogue, it is deadly peril to a free government. We favor bimetallism, the coinage and use of both gold a as standard money. We heartily commend the steps formerly taken by the Tepub- lican party to ure an international agree- ment for the cc ze of both metals at a permanent ratio. In the absence of such an agreement, however, we favor the appli- cation of the protcetive policy to foreign silver, as well as to other imports, and de- mand’ the immediate coinage of the silver product of the mines of the United States The object lesson presented within th last eighte months demonstrates the wis- dom of the protective policy of the repub- lican party. Labor should “always receive its just share of the wealth that it pro- ducés, Labor and capjtal should never en- ave ch other, but should work to- gether on the ground of absolute justice to each, and we look with favor upon the principle of arbitration as a just means of peaceable settlement of their conflicts. earnestly condemn that pension policy suspend rather than aid of the late civil war. s them pensions as o ty, and in the adminis- tration of the pension department party prejudice should be supplanted by -~ gen- Uine gratitude and true patriotism. We sympathize most sincerely with the people of this district and state in the fail lre of their crops, and we favor such | islation as will wisely assist those w may be In need because of such fallure, iand also assist in the discovery and pro- motion of feasible modes of {irr tion. The delegation from Adams county pe- sented an amendment to the resolution as follows, and moved its adoptio We believe in bimetallism, the use of both gold and silver as money; we believe in and favor the full and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, the product of the United States, and we favor the colnage of the gold and silver of other nations in our mints, with a tariff placed thereon equal to the difference between the bullion value of the same and the face when coined, so as to protect our own industries, and we favor the coinage of silver as above set forth at the ratio of 16 to 1. This was followed by a warm discussion und much flow of oratory, ment was lost. ANDREWS BY ACCLAMATION. The convention proceeded to ballot on can- didates.

Andrews was de- clared the nominee of the convention, The chairman appoint:d McNinny of Web- ster and Caldwell of Nuckols to escort Mr. Andrews to the stage, where he made one of his rousing, logical speeches, and .was en- cored to the echo. McNinny was a_candidate, but had following outside of his own delegation. There was a full representation of all the counties in the district and the opera house was packed to overflowing and many had to be turned away. All del:gates speak very hopetully of the political situation through- out the district and predict a republican victory all along the line. Jack MacColl, candidate for governor, was in attendance. He has many warm political and personal friends in the Big Fifth, and will probably get a_ large majority of all the counties in the district, Cruzen of Frontier and Piper of Harlan were also in attendance looking after their political fences, both being candidates for s:cretary of state.

Nearly 150 dele- ga‘es assembled at the court house at 10 a. m. and organized by electing H. M. Clark chairman. The usual committees were ap- pointed, including a committee to name dele- gates to the congressional and senatorial conventions. Hon. T. J. Pickett, Saunders county’s candidate for secretary of sta‘e, was accorded the privilege of naming the delegates to the state conventlon. Resolu- tions were passed endorsing the work of Congressman E.

CASPER, Wyo., Aug. 9.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—At the populist state con- vention held here today the following state ticket was placed in nomination: Governor, L. C. Tidball of Sheridan county; sccretary of state, Prof. D. W. Elliott; auditor, J. F. Peirce; treasurer, W. F. Williams; congress, 8. E. Sealy of Albany county; supernitendent of public instruction, Mrs.” J. R. Rollman; Judge of the supreme court, W. T. Connors. In the convention a good many personali- ties were Indulged in and at-one time it looked as though the convention would split. The fight over the supreme judgeship was exciting. The platform contains nothing new, but complains about everything in general. From a populist standpoint the ticket Is con- sidered & good one. Most of the candidates are unknown men and have never Qefore figured in state politics. Knockout for the Platt Faction. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—The republican fac- tion In this city known as the Brookfield- Blissor committee of thirty faation, was de- clared by the state committee today to be the regular republican organization of this city. It was recommended that the commit- tee of thirty have a new enrollment so all the republicans in the city might be taken and that ** consideration be shown’ to the other *Platt-Mulholland” faction. This was the unanimous finding of the subcommittee appointed to consider the matter, and the state committee which met, accepted the re- port after a_session of only twenty minutes. Regarding the factional fight In Syracuse, it was decided on recommendation of the sub- committee that both factions be recognized under caucuses until other methods should determine the standing of the factions. The decision is regarded as a compromise of the local fight. Chairman Brookfield, John Sabine Smith and others of the Bliss- Patterson leaders are not enthusfastic over the situation. A resolution was umanimously adopted re- questing the republican members of the senate to use all possible efforts to defeat the enactment of the tarift bill into a law. The Milholland organjzation held a meet- ing this afternoon and.-decided to continue their fight for recognition. Mo iic ol Buftalo Independents Jn Conventlon.

The Omaha Guards to the thirty slept at thelr armory on avenue last night and were not greatly sur- prised when they were ordered out. For the past two or three weeks the Guards have been drilling night and morning and sleeping at the armory in order to prepare for the coming state encampment. When Adjutant General Gage orders to Captaln Mulford to move it only a very few moments to get pany together. The company's Gatling gun was hauled down and each man carried forty rounds of ammunition, The Thurston Rifles slept at the Coliseum, had a 3 o'clock breakfast at a down town restaurant and then marched to Fourteenth and Farnam strects, where both companies took a train for South Omaha. Camp equip- age will be sent down today if required. The two companies comprised about 100 men. A meeting of the Live Stock exchange of South Omaha was held late yesterday ufter- noon to take some action in regard to the strike of the packing house employes. Presi- dent Parkhurst was in the chair. It was stated that there were plenty of men who were willing to work and wanted to work if they could have protection. The members of ‘the exchange expressel themselves as of the opinion that the mayor of South Omaha and the sheriff of Dou; county were not doing their duty. They claimed that the strike had not only demoral business at South Omala, but had depre the market on cattle and hogs, causing farmers and stockmen of Nebraska heavy losses at a time when they necded good prices to help make up for the damige to the corn crop. Messrs. McPherson, Wag- goner, Burke, Campbell and Martin were ap- ponted to draft resolutions to be addressed to the governor. APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR. They submitted the following, which was unanimously adopted: Whereas, A condition of lawlessness and riot cxists at South Omaha, endangering life and property; and ‘Whereas, The mayor of South Omaha has stated his inability to protect life and property with the men at his command; and Whereas, The sheriff of Douglas county has refused to furnish sufficient protec- tion in response to earnest appeals for help; and . i Whereas, By reuson of this condition the wheels of trade are impeded, the South Omaha market demoralized, and the entire business of this, the third’ packing center of the world, i threatened; now, therefo i Solved, That we, as cltizens of N ska and members of the Live Stock [x- change of South Omaha, being familiar with the situation, and fully realizing what 18 required, do earncstly urge and request fmmediate 'and adcquate protection from your excellency for our persons und prop: erty; and. we respectfully submit that prompt action Is imperative, as the rioters Increase daily, and the fair name of this great state ig in jeopardy Omaha market demoralized. Messrs. Waggoner, Martin, Burke, Spelts and McPherson were appointed as a_commit- tee to present the resolutions to Lieutenant Governor Majors. “Give us the assurance of the protection we ask for or we shall close our houses to- morrow morning.” That was the ultimatum given by the packers to Acting Governor Majors at a conference at the Millard hotel last evening. The packers were represented by E. A Cudahy, A. C. Foster of Swift & Co., Manager Taliaferro of the Omaha Packing company and General Cowin. They assert that as far as they were concerned matters had come to a show down. They would make no further effort to run their plants unless they were assured of immediate pro tection, and they were agreed that the only protection that could protect lay In the calling out of tie militia. The acting governor and Adjutant General Gage were kept busy all the evening hear- ing from officials and citizens In regard tu calling out the state troops. Soon after & o'clock the committee from the South Omaha Live Stock exchange presented the resolu- tions mentioned. The men representzd that their business and property were in serious danger, and in effect urg:d the governor to call out the militia immediately. Mr. Majors discussed the situation with them for a short time, but gave them no assurance of state protection. Early in the evening Mayor Johnston ar- rived and again urged upon the governor the necessity of calling out the soldiers, He said that the deputy sheriffs sent down dur- ing the day by Sherift Drexel had been en- tirely useless. The mob had simply hooted them and seemed to have no respect what- ever for them. The situation was con- tinually growing more serlous, and he em- phatically stated his opinion that it was time for more decided action. The packers added their persuasions to those of the mayor, and a messenger was sent for the sheriff, as the governor did not wish to take any actlon bofore consulting him. The sherlff was closeted with the governor and the adjutant general for nearly an hour, after which the party hurriedly left the hotel and took a hack to the Webster street depot, where Mr. Majors took the 9:30 train for Auburn At this time it was stated that no decision had been arrived at, but that the matter had been left with the adjutant general. The remainder of the party returned to the hotel, where General Gage remained in con- sul'ation with the sherlff for another hour. Sherift Drexel was unwilling to consent to the use of the militia. He sald that as far as he could see most of the trouble was due to the curious spectators who crowded around the ne of any disturbance, and added to the disorder. He would send down more deputies this morning, but still held to hin determination not to ask the gov- ernor for assistnce. MILITIA WILL GO. At 10:30, when this conference ended, Ad- jutant General Gage announced that the mil:tia would be employed By 7 o'clock yesterday morning more than 100 men appeared at the office of the sherift in the court house, seeking appolntment as deputy sheriffs. Sheriff Drexel spent the forencon at South Omaha, and the deputies were not appointed until afternoon, when about 100 men were sent down All efforts on the part cf the committee of citizens appolnted by Mayor Johnston to get some concessions from the strikers have failed, The men who are out say that they have no further propositions to make to the packers, but if the packers have any propo sitlons to make to them they are ready to entertain them. The fact is that the union butchers are as firm in their demands as they were the day they went out.

The scenes on the streets of South Omaha for an hour or two were disorderly. All y long it was quiet and only a few of the who are out could be seen. The sheriffs began to arrive about 1 o'clock.

AS £0n as the men began to come from work the disturtance began Ten members of the butchers’ unfop re. mained on N street and did their best td prevent any demonstration, but it was im possible. Cries of “scabs” and other names were shouted nd a number of collisions took place. The South Omaha police did cient service, but the deputies were in active, They were hooted and joked and did not accomplish much. About 5:30 a gang of about fifteen colored men came down Twenty-sixth street from Swifts, As soon as they were recognized the strikers began to run after them and v out bs.” Mr. May, one of the of flee men, was with them. The colored men stood the racket until ther were about to turn into N street, when they concluded that things were getting most too warm. They then drew their revolvers and point- ing them toward the strikers declared that they woul shoot if it was necessary. The most of them not only carried revolvers but also showed knives and razors. Captain Connell of the police ordered that they put thelr weapons out of sight and they did so. A striker who gave the rame of Chandler began to abuse the captain, calling him a geab and accusing him of protecting the scabs. The fellow was placed -under ar- rest and he resisted. The captain drew his club and was about to use it on Chandler when Chief Br arrived and the man was taken to th on and locked up with- out being injured. The colored men then marched on to Twenty-fourth and N streets, where they boarded a motor for Omaha. One man who is employed as a special watchman at the stock yards was assaulted by men supposed to be strikers. He was knocked on the head and painfully injured. The South Omaha police escorted the man to the police station and from there he went to the yards to attend to his duties for the night. A few arrests were made, but all of them were made by the South Omaha police. SENTENCED TO JAIL. The men who were arrested Wednesday evening fer interfering with the police and for creating a d sturbance were taken before Judge Christmann yesterday and sen- tenced. Mike Lorag was sentenced to forty days in the county fail, with the first and last ten on bread and water. Steve Couchue got thirty days with the first ten and last five on bread and water, and Joe Damond got ten days with the first and last two days on bread and water. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Jerry O'Hanlon, who is accused of assaulting J. M. Raymond, an engineer at Cudahy's. This assault was com- mitted on lower N street, when Raymond was on his way to work. Charles Lund, a man employed at Ham- mond's, met with a sensational exverience yesterday. . Ho lives at Twenty-fth and L streets, and was on his way to work. Lund s an old man, and his daughter always accompanies him to the packing house for fear he will be run over by the cars, When the couple reached the railroad at the foot of N street and were about to cross, some one cried to look out for an approaching Rock Island engine. Lund thought it was a striker that was yelling at him, and he started to run. His daughter caught hold of his coat to pull him back. ~ Lund sup- posed It was an enemy who had hold of him, and he made a sprivg and landed in front of the passing engine. He had passed far enough so the engine threw him to one side. When picked up, the man was insensible, but after a careful examination it was found that his injuries were not necessarily fatal. His face is badly gashed, the right wrist thrown out of place, one elbow cut and a big gash in the right thigh. He was removed to Dr. Solomon’s office, where his wounds were dressed. The man will recover. some to FOUGHT FOIR FRE Milwaukee Citizens Undertake a Viass Meet- ing Against the Mayor's Orders.
