Philip Rapport, edifor of a German news- paper in this cily, files a like suit against West Indianapolls authorities. Rapport was their chief speaker at the meeting and was addressing the crowd when arrested, FOR U HASTINGS, Aug. 18.(—Special Telegram to hTe Bee)—The Adams county republican convention was held in the court house this morning and afternoon, H. E. Norton of Ken- esaw acting as chairman and E. W. Bexter and G. W. James as secretarise. The con- vention in the main was harmonious, but there was a disposition to railroad matters through that caused some dissatisfaction, Leopold Hahm was renominated for senator by acclamation, Peter Grifiith for represen- tative and W. P. McCreary for county at- torney. Hahn was the onl one of the three nominated unanimously though, and consid- erable of a kick was made by the friends of W. B. Brown, who was a candidate for repre- sentative, over the summary manner in which the convention proceeded. D:legates to the state cohvention are: W. W. Miles, W. A. Reynolds, A. T. Bratton, W. H. Ferguson, C. H. Dietrich, H. H. Cherry, R. A. Boyd, G, E. Pratt, A. V. Cole E. H. §t. John, Peter Warner, W. B. Brown. A. Cofftman, S. H. Smith, Grant Scott, A. Linegar and Lucien D.an. The delegation 1s uninstructed and will probably be well divided for governor on the, first ballot. An at- tempt was made to énforce a unit rule on the delegation, but so much opposition devcl- oped to the plan that’the maker of the mo- tion moved its tabling. Delegates were also seleeted to the float convention, to be held with Webster county to select a nominee for represcntative. Chair: man W. H. Stephens and Secretary B. W. Bexton of the cenlrgl cofmittee were re- clected. Antelope Much Divided. LIGH, Neb., Aug. 18.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The county republican conven- tion met today. T. P.

HARTINGTON, Neb, Aug. 18.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—The republican county convention met at Hartington today. No spe- clal issues were before the body. Everything passed oft quietly.

Eight delegates each were chosen for the representative, congressional, senatorial and state conventions. Dr. H. V.

PENDER, Neb., Aug. 18.—(Speclal Tele- gram to The Bee)—One of the most hotly contested primaries in the history of Pender occurred this afternoon, The McDonald faction, which was for Majors, was beaten by the Peebles faction, which was for Mac- Coll by over two to one. The county con- | vention, which will be held Monday, will | send a solid MacColl delegation to the state convention.

He was a man_from California, who had marched to Washington with General Kelley and was on his way back to the Pacific coast. A collec- tion was taken up and a committce, con sisted of Messrs. Henning, Strickler and Kinkaid, was appointed to start the man on his way For the first time durlng the day Delegate Allen Root opened his mouth. He declared that It would be the proper thing for the convention to fix the time for holding the regular county convention, Mr. Root, how- ever, was sat down upon by being informed that the county central committee would at- tend to that matter. This cleared the tab of everything in sight, in the way of busi ness, and two populist conventions at once passed into history. SPLIT ALL AROUND, Madison County Pops and Democrats Dwell ogether Like Anything but Brothers. BATTLE CRBEEK, Neb., Aug. 18.—(Special Telegram to The Bee)—Th's has been a great day in Battle Creek, the demos and populists both holding county conven- tions. Senator Allen came all the way from | Washington to .preside. Fusion or anti- fusion was the great contest. The effort was to fuse on John Robinson for congress man for the Third d'strict and F. J. Hale for state senator for the Eleventh district The democratic convention was called to order in the cpera house by F. J. Malon, chafrman of the county central committee In attempting to organize they got into trouble.. Motion after motion “was placed before the house until the chairman lost control of the convention, He repeatedly rapped for jorder, but a dozen men were on the floor attempting to speak at the same time. The convention was soon in confusion. After a good deal of angry talk and threats, swinging cf arms and m-v ing of chairs, some one in the conventon called loud enough to be heard above the | roar: “Let all democrats leave this hall.” At that the procession commenced. After considersble quarreling, about half the anti- fusionists or administration demccrats worked their way out and went to Ingoldsby's hall and organized another convention. Just what they were quarrcling about no one could tell. They did not know themselve They came loaded for a split and the first spark set them off. It appeared to be fusion and anti-fusion, administration and free sil- ver. The free silver democrats seemed to be the fusionists. The fusionsts, after a long struggle, succeeded in restoring order among themselves, and, after a vain effort to get the seceders back, proc:cded to business. . J. Malon was elected permanent chair- man. John Robinson, candidate for congress from the Third district, and F. J. Hals, candi- date for state senator from the Eleventh district, were allowed to select the dele- gates to the congressional and senatorial con- ventions. E. P. Weatherby was nominated for county attorney and W. C. Braasch for representative for the Thirty-ninth district. After selecting a county central committee, the convention adjourned. The anti-fusion or administration democrats organized, with H. C. Matrau as chairman, and delegates to the congressional and sena- torial conventions were elected. E. P. Weatherby was nominated for county attor- ney and W. Braasch for representative for the Thirty-ninth district. They also elected a county central committee, after which they adjourned. The alliance convention was called to order in a tent they brought with them for the occasfon. Herman Barney was elected chair- man, after a stormy time, In which the lie was passed. They finally voted down fusion. They sent strong anti-fusion delgates to the congressional and senatorial conventions. L. B. Baker was nominated for representative for the Thirty-ninth district and H. H. Kil- bourn for county attorney. After another fight, a county central committee was elected.
