ON RICH ELMER B, THOMAS, ¥ B H Reform was the dominant sentiment in the democrgtie city convention which met in Pat- terson hall yesterday afternoon. There was but one feeling among the delegates, and that was In favor of the endorsement of the Cltizens' nonpartisan ticket. The Sixth and Seventh wards made a vigorous effort to s cure the nominations of Ab. Waggoner and Robert Holmes for councilmen, but the othe wards were solid against them and they bent to the will of the majority. There was some little delay in beginning operations. The street in front of the hall was crowded with republican politicians who were hard at work fixing the slate for their own jamboree at Washington hall. Many of the democratic delegates sized up the crowd and went on to Washington hall, thinking they had made a mistake, and it required a little time to get them back again. It was 2:30 o'clock when Charles Conoyer called the convention to order and the delegates settled down to business, Secretary Mullen read the call and Charles Lobinger of the Sixth ward was made tem- porary chairman. Mr. Lobinger aptly ex- pressed his appreclation of the honor and re- marked that the cardinal principle of democ- racy was the promotion of good government and it was in the interests of good govern- ment that the convention had assembled. P, C. Heafey was clected secretary and David Shannahan of the Fourth ward assistant sec- retary. There were no contests and the list of dele- gates as aceredited was approved. Al proxies were excluded. The temporary organization was made permanent and the convention pro- ceeded to nominations for mayor, NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION. The name of Hon. Charles H. Brown was presented by Bdward E. Howell. Mr. Howell said that tho reform movement was bound to win, both in the convention and at the election in November. He asked all his fricnds to join with him to nominate and elect Mr. Brown. Mr. Howell's remarks were greeted with a burst of loud applause and the nomination of Charles H. Brown was made by acclamation and with iremendous enthusiasm, Mr. Brown was called before the conven- tion and received an ovation of hand clappings and cheers. He sald that there were two | issues in (hls campaign—one business and ono political. The first’ involved the task of Tescuing the city from the evils of misgov- ernment and the latter was to determine whethor a religious test could be laid down as a test of citizenship. Until this latter matter was scttled there could be no good government. Tho convention then proceeded to nominate by acclamation William Coburn for city clerk, Thomas Swobe for city treasurer, Guy R. Doane for comptroller and Lee Helsley for police Judge. The “popularity of Judge Helsley was at- tested Ly the enthusiasm with which his nomination was accompanied. He was called to the platform and made a brief but stirring speech, which was punctuated with continuous applause. He sald, in substance: “You have nominated me for police judge of this city and I thank you for it. I presume there is mot a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that I am a republican, and the fact that I have received a nomination in a democratic convention is evidence that there is an extraordinary condition of things in our midst. It shows that we have a com- mon cauze and a common foe, and that foe 15 a certaln cabal of conspirators in this city who declare that a certain class of citizens shall be proscribed on account of thelr re- liglous views and that this proscription shall include all who may sympathize with it More than thirty years ago at the battle of Gettysburg was relterated the enunclation of the principle by Abraham Lincoln, the greatest and the grandest character that has visited this world since Christ, that all men were created free and equal. It s upon this platform that we stand today and I promise you, It T am elected, that in my court all men shall bo equal before the la Another round of cheers greeted the conclu- sfon of Judge Helsley's address and then the task of nominating a council ticket was taken up. Here appeared the only menace to the general harmony of the convention. The delegations from the Sixth and Seventh wards demanded additfonal recognition, but they were met by an overwhelmingly ad- verse majority and they gracefully acqui- esced in the will of the convention. CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL ENDORSED. J. B. Sheean of the Fourth ward moved that the convention endorse the nine nom- inees of the Citizens' convention by acclama- tion. W. 8. Poppleton of the Seventh ward objected. He said that the Seventh ward deserved a_democratic representation in the council. Through some oversight it had been overlooked in the Citizens' convention, but he was satistied that this was accidental and that if its man was added to the ticket the Citizens' would correct the dificulty. He moved as an amendment to the motion of Mr. Sheean that the councilmanie can- Aidates be nominated by the call of wards, and said that he wished to place the name of Mr. Ab. Waggoner before the convention. George Tierney of the Sixth ward seconded the amendment.” He sald that Robert Holmes had served the Sixth ward faithfully in the council, He was the only democratic council- man who was ever elected in that ward and he was satisfactory to republicans as well as | democrats. W. 8. Shoemaker contended that each ward has a representation in the council, jnde pendently of the nine councilmen at large who were to be elected this fall, and that it would be a mistake to break the solil front that had been shown in behalf of bet ter government. E. E. Howell supported the amendment. He explained that it was the original inten- tion that Mr. John S. Knox represent the democrats of the Seventh ward on the Citi- yens' ticket. At the last moment Knox de- cided that he could not accept the office, and consequently the ward had not been repre- sented. He and following speakers declared that they did not wish to urge their claims to the extont of throwing cold water on the reform movement, with which they were in hearty sympathy, and that they would abide by the decision of the convention, call the amendment was defeated by 73 to 26, and the Citizens' nominees were endorsed by acclamation as follows: W. C. Builard, Frank Burkley, Albert Cahn, A. H. Com- stock, Millard F. Funkhouser, Luther A, Harmon, Johu Lemly, Allen T. Rector and James Wolshensky. NEW CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

C. L. Chaffee and W. J. Broatch each had a following that the face of the returns indicated would be about evenly divided, and the informal ballot verified the estimates by giving the two leading aspirants for the office thirty votes cach. Out of eighty-one votes in the conventfon this left twenty-one that had not been cast for either of the leaders, and there was a lot of talk among the dele- gates and among men honestly interested in the success of the party in favor of dropping both Chaffee and Broatch and putting up a gcod, clean man for the place. Thomas L. Kimball, Caspar E. Yost, W. R. Bennett, T. Lindsey, and a number of other good men were suggested for the place, but when t came to the test the A. P.

Nathan- son, Zimmerman (first and last real name unknown), Charley Potter, W. A. Saunders, Jerry Sedgewick, J. W. Eller, Claus Hub- bard, Unitt, Munn and the rest of the gang were soon on the floor. Jim Winspear wasn't a bit modest about working on the floor of the hall, as though he had been a republican all his life. Of course, while he might be a little strange to the delegates from a republican standpoint, he had grasped all or nearly all of them by the hand in F. P. & P. and was at home with them. After an immense amount of caucusing P. Davis, chairman of the republican city central committee, called the convention and Secretary Messick' read the call, ED CORNISH FOR CHAIRMAN. On behalt of the city central committee Chairman Davis named Ed J. Cornish as temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. Cornish, In taklng charge of the convention, sa 1 thank you for the honor of belng chosen to preside over this republican convention A truly representative convention Is rare this year in our city.

WENT BY THE SLAT The big fight having been disposed of, the rest of the work came easy, according to the slate. John Westberg, George C. Thompson, J. B. Piper and G. R. Rathbun were named as candidates. for city comp- troller. The informal ballot developed some strength for each of the candidates, but be- fore the secretaries could complete the to tals the wards began changing the votes in Westberg's behalf, and he was finally nom- inated by acglamation. Beecher Highy was nominated by acclama- tlon for city clerk. J. H. Dumont had beaten delegation in the Ninth ward, the home of both of them, for cily treasurer, but that { didn’t count. ' The entire campaign has been made with Edwards on the slate for the nomination, and the goods were delivered. The informal ballot gave Dumont twenty nine votes, but before it could be announced the prearranged switch came and Edwards was given the nomination by acclamation. It was not nearly so unanimous in the selection of a candidate for police judge. E. D. Pratt, F. Kaempfer, 8. I. Gordon, George S. Smith, A. E. Baldwin, 8. M Crosby, H. E. Cochran and J. A. Powers were placed before the convention, and it took five ballots to make a selection. The contest was close between Pratt and Gor- don, with the other candidates trailing until the fifth ballot, when Gordon united the forces and everything came his way. His nomination was made unanimous. For the council there was an effort to break the slate made up by the different wards, but it was futile, and the men se- lected were Sam DuBois from the First ward, W. W. Bingham from the Second, Lew Burmester from the Third, R. D. Dun- can from the Fourth, Dave H. Christie from the Fifth, Carr Axford from the Sixth,.Lee Yates from the Seventh, Jim Allan from the Bighth and G. S. Benawa from the Ninth. About twenty names were presented as can- didates for the Board of Education. The ballot resulted in the nomination of Jordan, G. G. Irey, George L. Den- C. R. Davidson and C. H. Gratton. P.

THOMAS. | Last night the populists met in adjourned | the A. P. A. nominees of the republican con- vention. The ticket is composed of straight populist candidates for the city offices and a majority of populist candidates for council- men During the course of the convention it was thrown openly and squarely in the teeth of the delegates who were in favor of a straight ticket that they would not support their own candidates, but would vote for those nom- irated by the A. P. A. republican convention. The charge was denied by only two of the delegates. Defense would have been of little use, as the methods which they used in their efforts showed plainly what their purpose in the convention was. gvidence that a majority of the delegates were there in the interest of the A. P. A. was brought out when nominations for coun- cilmen were called. The wards were given the privilege of signifying their choice for councilmen. Despite this fact, and even though the candidate was solidly supported by his ward, Vandervoort and his followers exhausted every means in their power to folst another candidate upon them whenever their selection was on the Citizens' ticket. The work of the Vandervoort crowd was not confined merely to this kind of opposi- tion. A chairman of one of the delegations was caught in the act of regstering more votes against one of the candidates than were really cast. The secretary was charged with counting unfairly. The fact that the radicals carried things to such extremes caused the more decent portion to withdraw their support late in the convention. The greatest excitement occurred in the convention when Deaver moved that the entire proceedings of the convention be re- considered. While the motion was not put, it brought Jack Lally of the Third ward to his feet with the request that Dr. Peabody, the nominee for mayor, announce whether or not he intended to withdraw from the race. Dr. Peabody was called and answered in a very equivocal speech. He said that he id not intend to run if the party was di- vided. He followed up this statement with another to the effect that the party was di- vided and that from all indications it would not get together. Then he said that he placed himsclf in the hands of the city central committee and would do as it ad- vised him. REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE. The convention was called to order at § o'clock by Chairman Cohen. The chairman at once reported in behalf of the commitiee which had been appointed at the previous sesslon to confer with the Citizens' com- mittee. He said that when the committee met the league it was informed that the league was not in politics, and could not promise that its convention would endorse tho two nomlinees of the populist convention or the nominees of any party. The league commiltee stated that although it did not have the power to promise the populls anything, it was willing to present the names of the two populist nominees to the Citi- zens' convention. At the convention the nominees were not endorsed. The report was supplemented by reports of two other members of the committee, Burr and Minds, The report was adopted and the commitiee was discharged. A motion was made to ratify the nomina- tions for the city central committee made a week ago. The committee was elected as named, with the exception of the nominces from the First ward. There was a fight in the delegation from this ward, and when the chairman announced that the representa- tives were R. T. J. Fiala and M. A. Fabr! ral members protested. The new representation, howewer, was ac- cepted. Vandervoort moved to proceed to the nom- Ination of a city ticket according to call. The motion was carried. Leouis J. Ihm was placzd in nomination for city clerk by Simeon Bloom. burn was named by M. J. O'Connell. Ihm was nominated by a vote of 53% to 21% Ihm when called upon said that he would consider the nomination, but could say no more at present. Nominations were called for the office of y comptroller. Jessa White placed Walter Breen in nomination, but Breen positively refused to accept. Thereupon the name of John O. Yeiser was presented by A. A. Parry and the name of Guy R. Doane by E. Thomas. Yeiser was nominated by a vote 59 to 18. When the name of Doane was presented Vandervoort's claquers raised yells of “‘rats." This brought Lally to his feet with a vigorous protest against the disrespect that was being shown men who were placing names in nom- ination. Burr sald that the yells showed plainly that there was %n element of some kind in the convention that wished to build a stone wall around the party to keep out honorable men in order to keep their own element inside. Rev. Alexander Irvine urged that respect be shown to everybody in the convention. Jesse White, who prominent in calling proceeded to apologize. but he was cut short. When the Second ward was called, McCon- nell said he Second casts its vote for Yeiser, Johnny Thompson's editor.” For police judge Bernard Sachse was placed in nomiuation by A. C. Gale and Lee Helsley by Jack Lally. Sachse was nomi- nated by a vote of 53 to 25. FOR THE CITY COUNCIL. The following as candidates for the council were unanimously presented by respective wards: First ward, James Wol- shensky; Second ward, John Lemly; Third ward, Jesse White; Fifth ward, Allen T. Rector; Sixth ward, Martin Plot(s; Seventh | ward, J. W. Logan; Eighth ward, Dr. C. D. Sprague; Ninth ward, W. C. Bullard, The Fourth ward presented two candidates, €. W. Lumbeck and Albert Cahn. At th's stage of the convention the A, P, A. crowd made its attempt to gag the varl- ous delegations and to foist upon them men who were not their cholce. The fight started after Wolshensky had been unanimously nominated. When McConnell presented the name of Lemly as the choice of the Second ward a motion was made to make his nom- ination unanimous. Here the A. P. A. con- tingent jumped in and after a lengthy figft succeeded in_a motion that the vote be taken by wards, When the vote was taken on Lemly's name forty-one votes were against him and forty in favor. Crles of false count followed and a motion was made to discharge Secretary Broen, but the motion was not put by the chairigan. A motion to reconsider Willlam Co- been had especially “rats,” immediately He tricd to explain, city the passed until the other candidates.were nom- ipated. Jesse White was e'ected by a vote of 67 to 14 and Lumbeck by a vote of 57% to 22% for Cann.

DISCUSSED QUESTION OF & While the convention was arguing how the other candidates should be elected Deaver moved that the proceedings of the entir convention be reconsidercd The motion was greeted with cheers. Vandervoort and his supporters kept the air hot in their efforis to obtain the attention of the chair. Finaily McConnell got the floor and said he favorel the motion because he saw no way of electing the ticket, He said half of the convention intended to vote for the Citizens' ticket and the other half intended to vote the repub- n ticket, Lally wanted to know whethe body would run, This brought out calls convention to complete the nomination of a DF.

CROWDS Wi CROWNING, Impressive Ceremo he Church of Gun. e, CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 12.—~An immense crowd early this morning sought admission to the church at Guadaloupe to witness the coronation of the image of the virgin, the doors being open at 7 o'clock, but so great was the rush that the doors had to be closed an hour later. The ceremony was magnifi- cent, there being thirty-seven archbishops and bishops in full robes present. The image was carried to the front of the altar by ladies who had subscribed to it, and there in the presence of the public notary, was formally presented to Abbot Plancarta and the chapter of Guadaloupe. They took the oath to preserve it for the purpose for which ¥ nt it was Intended. The crown was then blessed and mass followed, and afterward the procession, led by the archbishops of Mexico, New York, Cincinnati, New Orleans Onxaca and a great number of bishops and priests followed. The crown was carried around the church to the entrance and was then brought into the church and placed above the image of the virgin by a bishop and Archbishop Michoacan. The image crowned today is a painting claimed by Mexican Catholics to have been miraculousiy impressed on stone in the year 1531, This event is said to have taken place at’ Guadaloupe, a_village about three miles distant from the City of Mexico. The crown is composed of goid, contributed by the ladies of Mexico, the jeweler suppiying nothing but the workmanship, for which he charged $2,000. This sum was also contributed by Mexican ladies. It is rich in diamonds, sap- phires and other precious stones. INSURGE. DW A TOWN, TS B e of the Affair Ca of Key West.

I Wood, candidate for the offic of county superintendent of public iustruction, by the unanimous vote of both citizens and democratic parties, was born In Culpeper, Va., January 7, 1868, His ancestry extends in direct line through the Payne, Cropp and George families, who were among the origi- nal settlers of the “0ld Dominion,” and who at different periods filled state and national positions with honor and distinstion. Wesley Wood, father of the subject of this sketch, was for many years in the Unied State revenuo service.” His relatives of Washing ton county, Nebraska, the Lippincotts, are among the first settlers and best citizens in the state, Mr. Wood received his early training in the schools of his native country, which was later completed in_Oakland and Chestnut Grove academies. He is of a very studious and progressive disposition, temperate in his habits and liberal in his ‘views. While he seldom intrudes his opinions upon others, he speaks when duty requires without reservas tion, fear or favor. Like most progressive yeung arriving at manhood, turned his attention towards other and newer flelds. _After spend- ing gome time in Washington, D. C., he con nocted himselt with some of the leading in- stitutions of the northern st He came to Nebraska in the fall of 'S4, locating in Washington county where, two years lator he recelved the unanimous nomination of his party for county superintendent, and in the campaign following his support far exceeded the strength of his ticket After coming to Omaha he engaged for a while In business pursuits, during which timo he became identified with ‘some of our largest establishments, where he is yet remembered by his associates as a man of honor, integ- rity and ability, He has been teaching continuously for seven yoars, and holds first class recommendations from the board of overy school over which he has presided. He has taught some of the most advanced schools in_the country, and commanded the highest salaries, In considering his candidacy the people can rest assured that they have before them a gentleman, a scholar and in the true sense of the word, a man. When elected to the office he will endeavor to elevate the schools of Douglas county to that stdndard con- sistent with similar institutions of this, the banner county of the state. Mr. Wood is a hearty lover of downright, honest work and a fierce denouncer of all shams and quackery, whether in social life, business, or the professions, as shown by the following reproduction of an argument delivered by him before the Douglas county teachers November 3, 1894, on the subject “Needed Changes In Our School Laws.” “In expressing my views on this subject I hope I will not be understood as person- ally insinvating. T have long since held the opinion that the most pressing and bene- ficial changes needed in our school law would be the eradication, as far as possible, of politics from the office of county superin- tendent. This would not only benefit our schools and commonwealth, but would be a great rellef to conscientions superintendents, “Under the present law, in order to re- main long in office, it seems necessary that superintendents use their offices principally as focal points from which to send out emis- saries—hubs from which to radiate spokes forming wheels to ride to re-election. This should not be. This office, like that of the United States civil service commission, should be as indspendent of politics and as impartial in its operation as possible. Con- scientious superintendents under the existing law lead a disagroeable life. They would weleome with delight a law making it im- possible and, therefore, unnecessary to con- sider many requests and expectations of charlatanic, obsequious teachers and their friends for special favors in return for politi- cal service, or from fraternal considerations, “He*s comes a Young man for examination whose father Is a prominent politician and who has several brothers old enough to vote, He fails. The enmity of the whole family is thereby incurred—votes all lost, How are they to be redecmed? The applicant may be recalled, examination adapted to Lis capaclty and attainment, certificate issued—people im- posed upon. These charlatans, with brass enough to build bronze statues as high as the Washington monument, glib tongues, ability to write a good hand, draw a pleture, and please the children, frequently succeed, under shelter of partisan superintendents, in fooling the people for years. “That the duties pertaining to the office of county superintendent may be discharged im- partially and with due dignity it s necessary that superint-ndents be relieved of the tempta- tion to thus dabble in politics and be per- mitted to breathe In the atmosphere of peace, independence, honor. This can be secured to them and tho people relieved of charlatanism by establishing county boards of cxaminers, composed of the county superintendent as dent and two county teachers, holding first grade certificates, one of whom should be of difterent politics from the superintend- ent. Stmilar legislation exists in many states. (Ady. men, upon in Douglas county i FAIR CLOSES, Winners of the rizes In the Several Contests. The fair for the benefit of the Home of the Good Shepherd, which had been in pro- gress for a fortnight at Creighton hall, closed last night. The fair was very successful. The total recelp's are estimated at $6,000, those of last evening alone being $2,600. During the whole evening the hall was crowded, and the attendance was not much less than a thousand. The average attend- ance for the previous nights was nearly 500, Secretary E. A. Pollard and his assistant, D. T. King, wero kept busy till an early hour this morning counting the receipts and figuring out the profits. The crowd pressed closely around the plat- form at the front of the hall, where the re- sults of the voting contests were announced. Councilman Lowry presided over the bal- boxes, and called the winners. The s were presented by Father MeDevitt outh Omaha. The $100 diamond ring awarded to Miss Ida Yule, the recely- ing clerk of the Western Union office. Pat- rick Sheahy of South Omaha won the ladies’ gold watch. Michael Murphy's friends polled more votes than those of William Paxton, jr. and the handsome diamond s'ud went to Mr. Murphy. The piano was won by Miss Ella Barthwell of Fremont, and the second di mond ring was awa:ded to Miss Ida Block of this city. FOR CAD) —— N UNIFORM, Orders Regulnting Th Conduct Are Insue The following order was first suggested by members of the military companies of the High school, and was then submitted to a meeting of the officers, where i was ap- proved, with only one adverse vote.
