Tel- #gram.)—The democrats of Nebrdska, In convention - here tonight, nominated this ticket, adopted a platform, heard speeches from “party” leaders ame passed ‘mumerous votes of thanks to the people of Golumbus. Edgar Howard, who was introduced as !"Mayor Bec,” welcomed the delegates to the democratic state convention after it was called to order, by Chatrman Hall of the state commiftée this evening. This speech followed a pryyer by Father Cash and the annoupcement, by Mr. Hall that Judge Bullivan had been nominated by the Grand Island conventiom.

Bryan A . While the resolution committee, whith was appointed immediately after Mr. Lomis' address, was out speeches were made by M. W. Wyball of New York and W. J. Bryan. fhe latter disclaimed that he was longer the Loy orator of the Platte and then proceeded to make a thirty-minute talk in which he pleaded for a high ideal for the democratic party, attacked the re- publican administration And the reorgan- izers. “I have been accused of .tpeaking harshly of the reorganizers,” he satd. “I ‘would forgive them for the evil work that was done if 1 were sure that they were not ready to repeat It, but when I see those who have, heaped humiliation and odlum upon the, party stand ready to repeat thelr work I would be an enemy of my country if T did not cry out. If they think two de- feats have destroyed the party. they are mistaken. The fight betweéen plutocracy and democracy has only just begun. 1 would rather try to win honest republicans than to retain dishonest democrats.” Mr. Bryan then made light of President Roosevelt's settlement. of the coal strike by saying the democrats had been working for & board of arbitrators for years. Ke held in discussing imperialism there could be flo reconciliation between a colony and a republic. Before the speaking H. W. Risley of Grand Island was elected secrétary and J. A. C. Kennedy, assistant. . The tempot- ary organization was fhen made perma- | nent. At 11 o'clock . recess. of. fiftéen minutes was taken. " o Plattorm Is_Adopted, Atter recess the vesolutions' committee reported and the convention; adopted the platform as follows: | Reafrm the Kansas City platorm: de- | mounced the national republican adminis- tration for faflure to' carry out promises 4nd fts subserviency to special interests; opposed to asset currency and denouneing | the Aldrich bill; demand that the attorney general of Nebraska shall make appleation 1o the supreme court of the United States | for permission to put the Nebraska maxi- | mum freight rate law fnto immediate efféct in accord with the suggestion of that eourt; called . nttention to the prediction of the arty that the clection of a_republican pgislature would be a victory for railroads and corporate interests and. that the predic- tfon came true; charged that the legislature deliberately substituted the Ramsey bill for the Brady bill, Intending thereby to deny the farmer re'lef from the grain trust; arralgned the republican party of the state for failure to keep its promises to provide | A just and equitable revenue 1aw and that |1t “surrendered to the raliroads; arraigned | the republicans for extravagance in state | ofMces; denounced Governor Mickey fof Al: lowing the Standard Ofl company to well [ofl condemped Dby, hia deputy: demanded that the judiciary be Kept free from parti- #an bind and cofhmended the election of | Judge Sullivan. | ‘The adoption of this was followed quick- Iy by the nomination of Judge Sullivan for supreme judge by C.

In his speech of accéptance Judge Sulli- van said: Sullivan Accepts.

The contest this year is Important, but not vital. We must not get excited; we can afford to keep cool. Whatever hap- pens the state will survive and the demo- cnue-?arly is, of course, indéstructible, There is in this state a large body of square-headed men. These men a¥e not much swayed by mere sentiment. They understand that in a judicfal campaign an appeal o party loydlty is nothing sise than fla -dw‘dw and cfap-trap.

Whatever they do I shall not murmur Even_though they slay my opponent. atili will T trust them. A little healthy optim- tsm will do us all good. The resolutions committee was composed of W. H. Thompson, C. C. Wright, W, H. Kelliger, F. H. Tibbetts, W. D, Oldham, Edgar Howard, P, H. Kohl, C. J. Bowlby, B. 8. Littlefleld, Then came speeches from Dr. Hall, Judge Oldham and the convention was over. It was noticeable only for its length and the manner in which W. J. Bryan dictated the platform. The convention was held in the opera house upon the stage of which were many decorations. Over the front of the stage was a large picture of Bryan and to the sides the pictures of Washington and Lincoln. Bach banner locating the coun- ties was decorated with a small American flag. An orthéstra furnished the music, Reed Talks Early. James Reed of Kansas City addressed the delegates this afternoon. The speak- ing. had been arranged to occur tonight, but owing to an engagement in Missouri the hour was advanced. A speclal train from Lincoln, carrying the delegates from the Moutheast part of the state, was ail that saved the speaker from talking to empty seats. These dclegates filled the opera house. Mayor Reed was. introduced by W. J. Bryan, who pald a tribute to him and to the democracy of Missouri. Mayor Reed's speech was a- regular democratic Missouri talk and it had the Missouri ring to it. It was full of fire and brimstone for the republican party, and it was an indorsement of all things democratic. He told the history of his state under repub- lican ryle, when he sald a $2),000,000 debt | was saddled on the people for railroads that were never bullt, and he kept on the | soft pedal when he came to Missouri of just recent date. IHe threw bouquets at the farmers In countless numbers, and lambasted trusts and high tariff. He gave the democratic party credit for all good things done and scored the republican party for all bad things that were ever done. He likened the latter party to a rud- derless, chartless craft, drifting bLefore a shifting breeze. His speech was heartily applauded. nd as 1 Omaha Delegate Balks, J. P. Butler, who was named as one of the Eighth ward menibers of the Douglas county delegation to the Columbus con- venflon, did not attend the gathering, “I could not go to Columbus,” sald Mr. Butlgr last night, “for the reason that I consider the manner in which the delega- tion was chosen as jrregular In the ex- treme. I am always glad to serve my party in ll|¥ way, but I capnot counten- ance such usirpation of the’ padty's fume- tion by the committee as that witnessed {n Omahx last -Baturday, when a convention chosen by the committee met to select delegates to, the state convention. Why Aldn't _the, committee select the delegates to the ffate convention? It wouldn't have been harder than to choose them for a county convention, and no more irregular. 1 believe the committee is the servant of | the party, and not its master. The prece- | dent set is subversion of democratic doc- | trine, and as a believer in the principles from which the democratic party derives | its existence, I could not go to the conven- tlon under the circumstances.” WRIGHT FOR TAFT'S PLACE stant to Governor Gemeral Wil Advance Upon Retirement of Chief. OYSTER BAY, Aug. %.—General Luke B. Wright of Memphis, Minn., will succeed Judge Taft as governor general of the Philippines when the latter becomes sec- retary of war next January, in sucoes- sion to Blihu Roet. President Roosevelt | today authorized the Assoclated Press to make the announcement that the post had r been offered to General Wright and. that he Bad accepted it. General Wright is now a member of the Philippines commission and vice governor of the islands. He is a lite-long demo- crat. President Roosevelt spoke in terms of high pratse of General Wright's ability and fitness for the position of governor general. He entertains a sincere regard for him both personally and officlally. Both the president and Secretary Root regard General Wright as & man of proved execu- tive ability. During Governor Taft's extended sojourn in this country General Wright was acting | governor general and his conduct of the of- | fice was a source of congratulation to ‘he administration. General Wright is popular not only with the Americans In the Philippines, but also with the Filipinos, who hold him only see- ond in their estimation to Governor Tait. —_— IS SICK Ohlo Statesman Prostrat treme Heat Which Ag Minor Complal CLEVELAND, Aug. 2%.—Senator M.

RELTANCE AGAIN WINS (Continued from First Page.) a e t green-grey squall out of the northwest, rafsing a curtain of spray as ft came, struck the fleet, excursionists and carrying away yacht and steamer awnings and top hampers gener- ally. It was a hard day for the newspaper reporters. There are three recognized methods for reporting a yacht race, the wireless telegraph tem, the fleet of small boats carrying the news from the course to the shore and a'line of shore observers along the Jersey and Long Island coast. This was & day on which all thre systéms proved a fallure. At the Start of the Race. When the yachts reached the starting point at about 10 &. m. the wind was about four knots an hour, not enough to send them over the course within the time limit, but there were indjeations that there would be enough of it later. The preparatory signal was fired at 10:45, the warning gun at 10:56 and the starting gun at 11:10. The tor signalled that the race would be r a triangular course ten miles to a the first leg south, the second north- east by east half east, the third northwest by west half west. The wind at that time was due south and had begun to freshen. In the preliminary jockeying Captain Barr of Rellance got the windward po- sition, blanketing Shamrock 111, and clung to it through various mancuvers until the warning gun had been fired, when Captain Wringe fought clear of Rellance. At the sound of the gun Bhamrock 111 bore ¢ff to leeward and away from Re. llance, while Captain Barr tacked under the stern of Navigator.as the starting gun was fired and crossed the line only thirty- #ix seconds behind the gun. Shamrock III kept away from the line almost until the handicap gun, and crossed it handicapped by nineteen seconds, for which no allowance was made to it. The nineteen seconds was dead loss. The starting time was: Reliagce, 11:00:36; Shamrock M1, 11:08:00. The actual starting time of Shamrock was 11:02:19. Both weat across the line on the starboard tack, but held that tack for not more than a minute and then headed for the Jersey coast. Once fairly awhy Captala Wringe of bringing grief to many | Shamrook IIT resumed his tacticsof pre- Vious races—gave his boat a good rap full, salled through Rellance’'s lee and got under its lee bow, while Captain Barr pinched Relance cfose Into the wind and began to cover the distance to the wind- ward mark. Captain Wringe's maneuver gAve him & wind clear of Interference, and when once satiafied that Rellance could not blanket his boat he flatténed in his sheets and began to point closer to the wind. Captain Barr, however, was nursing Re- lance up to windward in masterly fashion. Half an hour after the start the gap be- tween the two boats had widered ma- terially, Rellance pointing higher and Shamrock footing faster. They were half A mile apart when they tacked off High- land Beach at 11:42, Re Rellance was the flst to go about. When both yachts were filled away it was clear that Rellance was gdining. Shamrock 111 was far astern and very little to windward of Rellance's course. Meantime the wind had been Increasing and was now blowing at the rate of seven knots, Shamrock LIT was heeling prettily, moving at a fast elip and making considerably more fu under its bows than the American. boat. Captain Barr was pinching Relfance into the wind until its little baby Jjibtop safl fluttered. The race was being fought out on the same lines as the previous one. Re- liance sought to make its galn by outpoint- ing the British boat, while the latter en- deavored to make up for what it lost In pointing by footing faster with a rap tull At noon the wind had increased to ten knots and haited about a point to west- ward, o that both yachts could lay a straight course to the turning mark, nst more than two miles distant. They were heeling hard, dragging their lee rafls through a lather of froth, sending it spurt- ing from under their bows In a fashion that indicated that they were making at least twelve knots, and there was little danger that the race would not be finished within the time limit First Mark, nee Begins to Gain, Turn at Without making another tack both boats made the turn of the first mark as follows: Rellance, + 12:21:80; Shamrock, 12:24:45. Though Rellance had a lead of three min- uted and fifteen seconds, it still lacked six seconds of making up the time allow- ance and the difference of one minute and twenty-four seconds at the start. Officially Shamrock 11T was still six sec onds ahead of the slippery Yankee craft, but it was evident that the latter had won the race, barring accldents. In a breezs varying frgm four to ten knots an hour, it practically had made good the {ime al- lowance in a ten-milo thrash to windward, and there was every reason to belleve that in reaching and running—which are its two strongest points of sailing—t would soon overcome that officfal six seconds. Both captains broke out halloon Jib sails when they squared for the second turn. Slight Change in Plans, quickly decided that instead of being broad reach as intended, the course to the turn was a run. Spinnaker booms were guyed out and the great sals added to the tall reaches of canvas. Staysalls were taken in and with spinnaker booms guyed well forward, the yachts ran well for the turn, Both were heading off their course a bit (4n crder to make their epinnakers draw well, and they ran that way for half an hour, when Rellance smothered its spin- naker and began to set its stay sail. Dur- ing that time it did not appear to have ‘gained an Inch, but immediately on lay- ink ita.irue vourse H:begunsto draw away. Ten minutes after Rellance, Shamrogk IIT &lso took In its spinnaker, eet its stay- sail and headed for the mark. With the wind over three quarters both yachts made fast time of ft, but it was apparent that Reliance was gaining. They made the sec- ond turn, as follows: Rellance, - 1:17:50; Shamrock, 1:21:45. Reliance Leads at Second Mark Rellance was leading by three minutes and fifty-five seconds, having gained forty seconds In ‘the run across from the first to the second mark. It had overcome the time allowance, made good the difference at the start, and established a margin to fts credit of thirty-four seconds. With a close reach still to be made there was faint hope for the challenger, Rellance whirled about the mark, gybed over, trimmed In its sheets and romped away on a close reach towards Sandy Hook iightship and the finish line, It was three- quarters of & mile away before Shamrock 111 rounded the mark. Both wefe heeling before a twelve-knot wind from south by west und were sailing at least one mile and a half faster than the wind was blowing. Their sheets were eased just enough to put them on thelr best point of salling and upon which Reliance has often demonstrat- ed that it Is faster than any racing craft ever built. It was heeled just enough to bring its longeoverhangs to bear and give it the benefit of its great salling length. P % the Gaide Vessel. The guide vessel, Coastwise, was scurry- ing along ahead at full speed, but Reliance was overhauling it inch by inch and when the lightship hove fair in sight about two miles away was not more than a quarter of & mile astern of the guide vesscl. A mile turther on Coastwise sheered off and gave Rellance a clear course to the finish. As the wind softened Relfance first set a baby jib topsail which Bhamrock had been carrying since turning the second mark, and then exchanged it for a big reaching Jib topsail, in which Shamrock promptly followed suit. The two yachts held their relative positions for about a mile. When Rellance was a quarter of a mile from the finish line the wind died away consider- ably, but Shamrock IIL came booming along carrying a splendid ‘breeze and fast overhauling the leader. It looked as though the British boat was going to get within its time limit, but the finish was too close, and Reliance slipped across the line with one minute and nineteen nds to spare. Shamrock 111 finished in 4 soften- ing wind and both boats were taken in tow to Sandy Hook. The next race will be sailed on Thurs- day. Skippers and Owners Taki. After the race Sir Thomas Lipton sald: You have all scen the result only thin can say is A fodhy than in the lust race, which is hope- ful. |1 figure my dofeat at & Mitle more than one minute. 1f I make much progress n the next as 1 aid in this over he last 1 will be & bit ahead in the finish of the third race. 1 was more than pleased With the way my own boat was handled Tt T hard to admit It, but the best Perhaps with more wind at the ‘anish the result might have been dif: ferent, but 1 don't want to throw any cold ter on the vietory. It is hard to win every yace In such & series and I hope our turn will come next. Captain Barr sald: “That's number two; now we'll get ready for the third.” Lord Shaftesbury said: “We are licked. The Reliance s jolly well the best boat.” Oliver Iselin sald: “I”don't suppose anybody ever saw two boats better handled than were those to- day. It would seem that Bellance has proved its superiority in il kinds "of Weather and under all conditions. No Plot Against Alfon MADRID, Aug. %.—The report published ing the United Btates by a news agency yesterday that a plot against the life of King Alfonso had been discovered at Huesca_is officlally declared 1o be abso- lutely unfounded.

Pursuant to Yhis new ygquirement the state year met today and passed upon the con- in fa the odds In their favor when the delégates met later by conggessional districts to s lects membefd 6f the -rommittees on ory dentials, résohutions, etc. The Johnson men secured most’ of the members of the new state central committeo which holds over to cail the state convention next year, when delegates at large to the democratic | national conventfon will be sclected and an - indorsement be made for the presi- dency. Johnson Scores a Poin The state central committes In consider- | Ing the contests from counties in alpha- betical order first declded to report to th committee on credentials by viva voce vote that there was no contest from Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) and then oh n demand for a roll call it was decided by a vote of fourteen to seven that there was a contest from Humllton county (Clucinnati). The result of this action was that the first and second districts at Cinelnnatl, which are anti-Johnson, were prevented from vot- ing in the organization of the committees, while the Twentieth and Twenty-first di tricts at Cleveland were enabled to take part. The state central committee referred the contests in four other counties to the com- mittee on credentials without recommenda- tion. These countles are in Gifferent con- gressional Glstricts and those districts pro- ceeded to select members of the committee without the contested countles taking part, the result being thus favorable to the Johnson men. The Zimmerman men oar- ried the fight Into the meetings of all the committees tonight and insist that they | will carry it into the convention tomor- 1ow. The most bitter feeling s expresced .gainst the action of the old state central | committee this afternoon In passing on contested cases, which is sald to be with- | out precedent in the history of the party. New Committee Organized. | The new state central committee organ- ized tonight with W. L. Finley of Kenton as chairman and E. C. Madigan of Cleve- land as secretary, both Johneon men. Ths Johnson men controlled all the committee meetings tonight, as they did afternoon meetings, but the Zimmerman men fought | every, point and will present minority re-| ports to the convention tomMOrrow on every- thing. . While Johnson still advocates Johin H. Clarke of Cleveland for senator, it s believed that the names of G. M. Saltz- gaber, the temporary chairman’of the con- vention, former Congressman Lentz afid others will be presented, and there fs much | talk about nominating Bookwalter not-! withstanding his withdrawal. Charles W. €onstantine, the close friend of Bookwal- ter, late tonight issued another statement | that Bookwalter would decline if he was nared for semator. Johnson Offers Olive Branch. C. C. Philbrick, one of the close counsel- ors of Johnson, called on Zimmerman to- night and offeved him the indorsement for senator If he would withdraw and make the nomination of Johnson unanimous. Zimmerman would not entertain the propo- sition, The committee on credentials tonight fol- lowed the action of the old state central committee in disposing of contracts The committee on vesolutions had an all | night session, although printed coples of the platform were brought here by the Johnson men from Cleveland. The John- son members of this commiilee were not unanimous on several issues but it was considered that the platform would finally be in accord with Johhson's well known views. e————— A Good Thing for Mother.
