THE ADVOOATB. NEBSASZA DEM002A0Y, How the Convention wu Made to Bus tain Cleveland's Financial Policy. I presume you have noticed from the associated press dispatches the reuolu tioas passed by the democratic state convention which ml here a few ago, In order that you may know what influences were brought to bear upon the convention, I copy some letters sent out by the secret ry of the state central committee: Omaha, Neb., September 1, 1893. Daab Sib: You were some time njo en dorsed by the state central oommittee for postofflo at . Circumstances may arise which may cause a revision of that aotion. You are earnestly urged to be at the Dimooratio state convention Ootober 4 as a delegate. Be sure and have your dele gation oomposed only of democrats whom you know can be relied upon. Yours truly, J. B. Sheshan, Secretary. Shortly after that the following letter was sent to each of the 2,000 candidates who had applications before the etate central oommittee: Omaha, Neb., September 14, 1893. Dxab Sib: The officers of the state oom mittee desire to communicate with you re epeoting the endorsement which they gave for postmaster. The delay in making the desired changes in this state necessitates vigorous action upon the part of the oom mittee and applicant and you are requested to meet the officers of the oommittee at Linooln on the 3d or 4th of Ootober. The state convention will be held there at that time and you are urged to be present as a delegate from your county. In order that there may be a full repre sentation you are especially requested to be present in person. It is important that you be present representing the best interests of demooraoy and co-operating with the oom mittee for the welfare of the party. Trust ing .that this may receive your serious con sideration, I am, yours respectfully, J. B. Shekhan, Seoretary. The above letters are a sample of the way the democratic convention was packed and the sentiment of nine-tenths of the democratic voters 'Zot the etate were smothered by the votes of 300 ap plicants for poatofficea', who were dele gates to the state convention, and whose instructions were to see to it that the administration was endorsed, that its financial policy was 'endorsed and that the executive branch of the government should use Nebraska as a olub to aid it in coercing a co-ordinate branch of the government into submission to its wishes. Of these applicants who were delegates nearly all were free silver men, but they bad a club held over their heads and were compelled to vote as they did or lose the endorsement of the state committee, which meant the loss of the pcetofficea. I write this in order that you may know what the administration and its representative, the etate central commit tee, is doing in the way of buying and bulldozing with patronage the voters of this state. I know what I am talking about when I say that nine-tenths of the democratic voters of Nebraska are in favor of the free coinage of silver and the expression in the democratic plat form recently adopted in this state does not represent ibe views eld by demo crats here. Yours truly, M. D. Tiffany, Vice President Democratic State League of Clubs, in Rocky Mountain News. Annal Meeting of the Kansas Equal Suffrage - Association.
