Omaha, April 14.— 'I he light between
the lloyd and Martin factions in the
Democratic state convention was con
tinued ail night In-fore the committee
on credentials. Aftei a brief respite
the struggle was renewed in committee
at 8 a. m., and the convention, which
adjourned until '.» o'clock, was kept
waiting all the morning by the failure
of the credentials committer* to report.
The delegates from the various congres

on credentials reported in favor of seat-
Ing the Boyd delegations from Doug

Counties. A motion to adopt the com
mittee's report was amended to seat the
Martin delegates, and then the final
struggle for supremacy began. County ■
Attorney Mahoney spoke for thirty j
minutes in lavor of tin' Mat tin faction, !
and Charles Offut presented the Boyd

A resolution indorsing Cleveland and
Instructing the delegates to the national
convention to vote for him was pre
sented. An amendment was made elim
inating the instructions of the dele
gates, ami the resolution was then
passed. Alter the appointment of a
committee on resolutions, the conven
tion at 1:30 took a recess until 2:30.
Upon reconvening at 3:15 this after
noon the convention ratified the nomi

gressional districts, and then proceeded
to the selection of delegates at large.
Gov. Boyd was selected to head the
delegation by a practically unanimous
vote. The other delegates chosen were I
Tobias Castor, Judge W. 11. .Thompsop
and Milton Doolittle. The committee
on resolutions then reported the plat
form, which follows:
FEARLESS GROVER
Not Forgotten in a Good Platform
to Stand On.
The Democracy of Nebraska, in convention
assembled, do reaffirm our faith In the prin
ciples and doctrines of Democracy as first
promulgated by Thomas Jefferson and ex
pounded by Jackson and Samuel J. Tlldcu.
We declare our steadfast adherence io the i
declarations and principles laid down in the
Democratic platform of 1884, and in thai
sterling message to congress by that fearless
Democrat, Grover Cleveland, in which this
nation wits aroused as never before to a
sense of the great Injustice to the American
people by the high protection War lurill' laid
upon them.
We denounce that most infamous law
known as the McKinley bill, passed by a Re
publican congress for the purpose of perpet
uation a system of taxation whose direct and
Immediate object is to rob the many for the
benefit ot tbe few.
Wo believe that all special legislation
whereby one clnss is to be bull up by the
oppression of another is pernicious, unjust
and un-American.
Recognizing tbe lofty patriotism of the
soldiers and sailors who periled their lives
In defense of the Union, the Democratic
party of Nebraska Is in favor 'if liberal pen
sions to disabled veterans and their depend
ent widows and orphans.
We favor the regulation of railroads and
railroad rales by the State, and invite all who
are in sympathy wiih the foregoing platform
to join us iv electing a Democratic president.
SILVER WARMED 'EM.
Bryan Offers a Resolution That
Precipitates a Row.
Omaha, Neb., April 14.— Upon the
conclusion of the reading of the plat
form. Congressman Bryan offers a reso
lution favoring the free coinage of sil
ver. -.Immediately there was an uproar,
and the convention, which had been
unusually Quiet during the afternoon
•session, became turbulent. Congress
man Bryan spoke in 'avor of his resolu
tion, declaring it to be good Democratic
doctrine, and one of the planks in the
platform upon which Gov. Boyd was
elected. lie was supported by the dele
gates from the astern part of the
state, where the independents are
strongest, but the other prominent
leaders of the party were against it.
After a hot debate laslins three hours
the roll was called. The silver men,
believing they were victorious, raised a
great shout. When Chairman Batty an
nounced the defeat of the resolution by
2*20 to 2-17. pandemonium broke loose.
The silver men made a rush for the
stage and mounting the reporters' table
they shrieked that they were beaten by
fraud. Fitly men were struggling on
the platform nt one time, but finally
quiet was restored ami the result of the
vote as announced was verified.. Then,
after the selection of alternates to the
national convention, the convention ad
journed. fQtK_WEKF*\WKKKKN/*9
Congressman Bryan claims, and In
in his claim is supported by one of the |
becrelaries, thai his resolution carried
i-- —B—H—H
by eight majority, and he was deliber
ately counted out. Much bad blood has
been .stirred up 1" consequence.
WHITNEY IS WISE.
The Ex-Secretary Talk-it Well of
Democracy 'a Position.
New Viikk, April 14.— Ex-Secretary i
of the Navy William C. Whitney started |
on a. six weeks' trip to Europe yestcr- I
day afternoon. Just before his depart
ure he said to a Times reporter:
Tin- only trouble with the Democratic
party is the dissensions and possible bad
blood. 'I he situation, however, is very
much what it was in 1870, when Gov.
Tllden *sas nominated. The Demo
cratic puis in the West was committed
very generally and pretty ardently to
Greeubackism. The candidacy of Gov.
Tllden was looked ODOtl as likely to frill
of support in the West. The second
('rant administration had created an
issue, and Gov. Tilden, by reason of his
vigorous warfare upon the Tweed ring
and canal rill in this slate, was the
dominant figure in the Democratic party
to meet it. lie was nominated and
Greenbackism was forgotten. The ne- '
eessity for reform in the government
became the solo issue. The party was
unified upon it and really carried the
elect ion.
At this distance from the convention
of 1876 there seems a perfect parallelism
between the condition of the party at
that time and now, and, with regard to
candidates, It seems to me that the sit
nation is quite the same as it was at that
time. For good or ill, the issue of tho
Democratic party at the present time is
tariff reform— not free trade, not the
destruction in any way of Industries
that have grown up under present tariff
laws, but relief from over-protection un
necessary for the prosperity of our In
dustries, from the over-taxation of the i
people that results from it, from the
enriching of a few at the expense of the
many, and from extravagance in public
expenditures which results from thei
desire to sustain this over-taxation.
The battle of 1802 has to be fought
upon these issues in general. They have
been framed and put to the front by Mr.
Cleveland. It seems to me from look
ing over the field that the people would
not be satisfied without the same leader
in this campaign. 1 was one who strug
gled against Mr. Cleveland In making
the Issue when he did in 1887, thinking
it premature, and wishing the benefit of
the strength which would have come to
us in the fight after his re-election to
the presidency in 1888 which would have
necessarily resulted from his adminis
trative record.
However, the Issue was made; it is
today dominant in the country, and I
think the feeling of Democrats through
out llio country is one of confidence in
the result of 1892. But for success we
must have consideration for differences
within the party and for the personal
preferences of individuals. 1 know
that no one feels better disposed in this
regard than Mr. Cleveland himself, He
thinks much more of the issue and of
the party's success than of his individ
ual success.
1 have none everything 1 could to in
fluence people within the party to have
consideration for each other. Wo must
have harmony and cordial co-operation
in order to win. People cannot be
dragooned into an enthusastic support
of candidates. 1 feel certain that when
it appears that Mr. Cleveland is the
general choice of the Democratic party
for the next campaign, not from lack of
appreciation of the merits of other
prominent Democrats, but because the
issue and events point to him, personal
preferences will yield to the general
judgment, and we shall go into the
light in better shape than in auy elec
tion within my lecol lection.
WYOMING FOR HILL.
Six Delegates That Will Vote With
New York.
Cheyenne, Wyo., April 14. — The
Wyoming Democratic state convention,
which met at Douglass yesterday, ad
journed at noon today, Six delegates

D. B. Hill for president.
Tammany's Thousands.
New York, April 14.— The Tammany

ments today for the trip to the national
Democratic convention in Chicago •on
May 22. One thousand men have been
provided for. A band of music will ac
company the delegation. '
Wisconsin Solid for Grover.
Milwaukee, April 14.— to date
every county that has chosen delegates
to the state convention has selected

"Bill" Chandler's Plan to Win

rison Delegates.
Detroit. Mich., April 14.— The Re
publicans of Michigan will present the
name of Russell A. Alger to the na
tional convention at Minneapolis as the
choice of tin- Wolverine stata fur presi
dent of the United States. This was
definitely decided at the convention ol
today, and the friends of Michigan's
favorite son maintain that In the dele
gate- selected Gen. Alger lias a follow-
Ing which will stand by him loyally as
! long as iii* lias a hope of success.
The programme announced by Gen.
Alger last evening was adhered to in
every detail, and after the adoption of a
general resolution of indorsement the
delegates were left umustructed, the
general evidently depending more upon
the personal loyalty of the various dele
gates than upon the efficacy of instruc
tions. The approval ol President Har
rison's administration was also in con
formity with Alger's expressed wish,
hut it will be observed that Secretary
Blalue came In for somewhat the largei
share of the encomium of the adminis
trrtion. Every mention of the secretary
was received with hilarious applause
and tin- orators of the day found it
agreeable to conjure with Blame's name
quite as vi tt n as wilh thai of Michigan's
favorite sou whenever scenes of enthu
siasm were to be provoked. It was
shortly after Vi o'clock when the con
vention was called to order and Con
gressman Edward P. Allen, of Ypsi
lanti, was made temporary chairman.
Mr. Allen, who was subsequently
chosen permanent chairman, was
warmly received, and opened the con
vention with a stirring speech, lauding
the results of Republican administra
tion in the state and nation.
Alger Helena
The names of Delos A. Bloi.lu.tt, of
Rent county; .lames M. 'Wilkinson, of
Marquette; Charles W. Wells, of Sag
inaw, and I). M. Fetry, or Detroit, were
presented for delegates at large to Min
neapolis. On motion of half a dozen
delegates the nomination of these four
gentlemen was made unanimous.
At this Juncture ex-United States
Senator Thomas W. Palmer was ob
served in the audience, and in response
to popular clamor made a brief speech.
For Klectors-at-large— William H.
McPherson of Livingstone, ex-Congress
man .lay A. llubbell, of Houghton
county, and Benjamin I'ritchard, of
Allegan county; commonly known as
"the man who captured Jeff. Davis,"
were nominated by acclamation, one
being from each of the electoral dis
tricts at-large. Senator James McMillan
was re-elected chairman of the state
central committee by acclamation.
The platform eulogizes the Republi
can party's history, rejoices in the ex
travagance of the Fifty-first congress;
pledges support, to protection, reciproc
ity and honest money: hints at an effort
to" revive the force bill; approves Harri
son's conduct as president: showers
enconiums on Secretnry Blame's admin
istration; and winds up with a hurrah
for Alger's candidacy for the presi
dency. .

Concord, N. ll.', April 14.— Senator
Chandler has written an open letter to
tlio committee on resolutions of the Re
publican state convention, in which he
says lie believes that a platform on local
questions can be promulgated that will
Insure a Republican victory beyond

speak in plain terms In favor of main

cluding the nuisance act, and should
demand the enforcement of those laws
by all public officials charged with tlieir
execution. He says also that the plat
form should unmistakably pledge the
Republican party to the maintenance of
the Interests of the people against injury
from the corrupting influences of rail

launching boats, who will cross the lake

About 300 boomers will cross the lake in
this way. Thirty teams passed here to
day en route from Wilmar to White
Rock on the northwest border, where
they will make a start. Many people
from neighboring towns arrived tonight
to witness the race tomorrow at noon,
and the town i. crowded. Livery sta
bles are reaping a harvest, charging

horse and are unable to fill all orders.

IN LINE AT WATEKTOWX.
The Filers Are Heady to Take Out-
I Papers.
VAVAtektowx, S. p., April 14.— The
.Sisseton boom grows apace. The ad
dition made to the boomer army, today
was very marked. The line at the land
Office has lengthened' out very visibly,
and if it increases tomorrow as it lias
today its proportions will be magnifi
cent, viewed' from a boomer's point of
view. The dry poods box brigade has
added largely to its numerical strength.
It is a fact that no piano box or fair
sized boxes of any kind can be procured
in town, but the rain has let up
-iui this is the last night before)
the opening. Those who cannot pro
cure shelter can stand it, but it is highly
probable that the line will be continued
tor several days. Only a limited number
of tilings can lie made each day, and as
there are many in line it seems certain
thai the Additions made to it the last
forty-eight hours most stand out in the
weather and tret some of the experience
gained by the early birds. Place In line
has been in demand today. Several have
sold out, the hiffbest price so tar known
Jeinir flfiO. Tomorrow will be a bis.
Rale day, and it is fair to pres. me a
lumber will unload at a handsome
profit. -
: The crowd still continues good nat
ured, but when the rush commences it
may get unruly. To guard against
this contingency the land office people
have ruled that any undue crowding
will lose the offender his right to posi
tion in the line, if not his right to tile.
The inspector, Harlan, is exerting him
«e!f explaining the law, and assists the
boomer* in every way lie can toa proper
understanding of the mode of pro
cedure 'necessary to secure a claim.
The streets have been crowded
all day long, and . the boom
er is here, there and every
where. 1 The land office is surrounded
entirely with them. The space in the
office allotted to theni is crowded to
suffocation during olliee hours. The
hallways, the doorways, and every con
venient place for them to meet and talk
over, the situation is used by them. The
boomer seems übiquitous. The sheriff
has be*-o busy all day swearing in his
deputies, preparing for the morrow.
Company 11, state troops, has been or
dered to report for duty subject to the
orders of the sheriff. They will sleep at
the armory tonight. In the morning
it is altogether likely they will be or
dered to the reservation and stationed
at a point fifteen toeighteen miles north
pf tnis'city. They take their camp
ei-iiinage with them prepared for a stay
if found necessary. Extra patrolmen
hgyec been appointed. In brief, every
possible precaution has been taken to
prevent any brawls or worse by vicious
br disappointed boomers.

land which is in North Dakota. About
thirty got in line at the laud office here
this morning, and will remain here un
til tomorrow at 10 o'clock, When filings
will be received. They are very or
derly, and hive appointed a chair
man, WHO gives each man a num
ber in accord with the time of
his arrival. These numbers the
i applicants have agreed to respect, and
this enables each to in* and get his
meals, etc., but most of the men remain
in their positions nearly alt the time.
They seem afraid that newcomers will
not have respect for the numbers, and
are therefore careful ot their chances.
The first in line is Rev.W. CYan Horn,
pastor of the Baptist church; the next
one is ("apt. Flint, clerk of the Mmm

Where the Beat of the Linda Are
Located.
Waubat, S. I).. April 14.— For a
week past every train 00 the Chicago,
Milwaukee ft St. Raul railway has been
dropping off a few landseekers at this
place. The numbers have visibly in
creased the last four days. They
come from both directions. Aberdeen,
on the west, has sent In large num
ber* who reached there from the north,
south and , west, and Millbank, on the
east, has sent in many from St. Paul,
: Minneapolis and Eastern states. Many
settler, have come here in order to set
the ride across the reservation, as this
has been the only way in which a view
of the promised land could be secured
for two weeks past, owing to tlie orders
of the secretary and the soldiers. The
town is now full to bursting. The
hotels can accommodate but > small
fraction of the settlers. Some are
camped on the outskirts of the village,
and some on the banks of Lake Wan-
Pay.
Messrs. Hines & Owens hive here a
branch of the locating firm of Morris,
Cbowen it Robinson, of Brown's Valley.
Capt. Hines lives upon the reservation
at the Sisseton agency and knows the
land very thoroughly, and this liim bis
large number of settlers ready to start
tomorrow noon for the best lands in this
part of tiie reservation.
These lauds are to be found in that
part of the triangle lying along the
Milwaukee road and southward to the
point. They are the fertile fields of the
Sioux valley. The Little Sioux river
rises at the head of this valley and Hows
.south want, and this valley is to be
reached within about live miles from
this town. This land, together with the
big basin west of Lake Trav
erse in the northern part, are
the best lands in the reservation.
WHITE MEN ALL GONE.
Pale Faces Disappear From the
Reservation.
SISSETOX Agency, S. D.. April 14.
Everything is quiet here. There are no
white men visible, and none have been
seen in this section for nearly a week
past. Faribault's hotel has sheltered
from two to ten landseekers every
night foe* a month past until within
the past few days. The order to
Agent McKusick from Secretary Noble,
together with the closing up of the sol
diers" lines, has shut off all prospectors,
and scared away even the Stragglers.
Nut a single white face has been seen
here for nearly a week, except the two
or three white men who have squaw
rights here, the ministers of the
churches, and the employes of the gov
ernment schools and of the mission.
Scarce a ripple or excitement from the
surging crowds at the border towns
reaches here, as communication is al
most entirely shut oil. SS*gf
The Indian police under the manage
ment of Agent McKusick, have done
splendid service as messengers and
couriers betwen the various military
camps and the central headquarters of
intelligence here. Their small. Meet
ponies have made long and dangerous
trips to remote parts of the reservation,
through mud on the plains, and across
snow drifts and swollen streams iv the
interminable couteau de prairies, where
a larger liorse of the American breed
would have gone down with his rider.
MOVING BY Tit AIN.
These Will Get There in a Great
Hurry.
Wn.Mni. S. D., April 14.— The first
train into the reservation will pull out
from here tomorrow morning at 11 -' XI
o'clock. Tliere will be fifteen coaches,
and it Is estimated that fully 500 will
take passage. It is expected that the
train will make the trip of eleven miles
into the reservation iv about twenty
minutes. This will put the passengers
In the Lake Traverse basin lands at 12,
This is fully one hour earlier than these
lauds can be reached by wagon road
from any other point except Wheaton,
and there the bridge is barred to all but
the clients of one linn. The crowd here
numbers fully 1,500 men. Excitement
runs high. Gov. Mellette and-.Distrib

and were met by Agent McKusick, of
the Sisseton agency.

Sisseton reservation this morning well
loaded with literature respecting the re
sources and advantages of the James
river valley, particularly this immedi
ate vicinity, lt is thought quite a num
ber of prospectors can be induced .to
look this country over, with a view to

REMAINS A MYSTKItY.
-A Friend or *»li-_> Mcllrlde Talks

Burn Fa t:i 11 < -i v, April 14,— When
K. W. Lam ber ton returned to Blue
Earth City from Lake Mary, Fla., last
.Saturday, bringing with him Mis* Etta
Mcßride, they were met here by the
father and mother of the girl and soon
aftei by Miss (Iracia Countryman, of
Minneapoli.i. a very dear friend ot Miss
Mcßride. Those who are looking for
.sensational developments 111 connection
with tills strange case are , doomed to
disappointment. The fallowing state
ment is made by her nearest and dear
est friend. Miss Countryman:
••I am hen- in response to it telegram
sent to me by K. \V. I.ambertoii, who
lias just returned from the .South with
Miss Etta Mcßride, and from him I
have the details of his prolonged and
successful search. Those who are
deeply Interested in the case are doubt*
less awaiting the result of this last at
tempt to iiml her, and will rejoice with
her family and friends that she has
been found and brought lion c. A grave
sickness had nreceetled these last few
months, if there were other than physi
cal causes for that Buffering even her
most intimate friends {feel no right to
inquire. The causes were sufficient,
at any rate, to cause her most ar
dently to long for death. She
found refuge I" teaching in Southern
schools and tried to ward oft* her
mental agony In devoting herself to the
children under her charge 111 Lake
Mary. Ma. No one who knows her can
doubt that It was a sacrifice as of life
itself for In r to take a step intended to
cut her off forever from all the associa
tions she held so dear. That the pur
pose was a pure one, no one who Knows
her can doubt for one second, ai.d it
must be accepted that the cause was an
extreme one to have brought her to such
a step. What sin- ha- suffered all win
ter, and what she is still suffering, what
have been the causes behind so great
mental distress are not known to any,
and the public knows all there is to
know. The various Stories afloat have
been entirely without foundation.
••She i- back, the same sister, daugh
ter, friend, ready to lace life bravely,
even though it seems not an attractive
life, .-she has thrown herself, heart and
soul into her school, and exceeding sor
row was caused to the little ones when
she left. When it became known to the
little village that Mr. Lambertou was in
search of her, and some of the tacts in
her case were made public, the deepest
sympathy was expressed In every di
rection. So thoroughly had she won
her place in the community, and - >
much was she beloved by scholars and
parents alike that people flocked to her
boarding place to express in a delicate
way the consideration they felt. Mr.
Lamberton reports that no question was
asked her, but the people took her by
faith, through tiie unfailing uprightness
of character she had shown while with
them.
BOYCOTT RAISED.

St. CLOUD, Minn., April 14.—Con

Railway Employes' Club, then but

city calling upon them to ship their
freight over the Great Northern instead
of the Noi them Pacilic as it was re
ported many were doing. The
club is composed of something
like 300 employes ot the Great
Northern. The declaration while
put :in a milder form was equiva
lent to a boycott against the Northern
Pacific. The action of the St. Cloud
branch became known to other clubs In
this state, particularly at St. Paul and
Minneapolis, and they protested most
vigorously against using the organiza
tion for any such purpose. The result
of this was that President J. B. Cope

ation, and acting national president,

Charleston is le Much demand that
within the last day or two a firm of
prominent brokers In tills city have an
nounced their desire to purchase 150,000
worth of the stock. They regard it in
the light of a good Investment, and the

that the fame nf the Mesabl range ass

it in safe to -ay that with the opening of

made by the men who take their cer

their wives and forget that they have

soning is obvious. The conservative
people here realize that these proper

they will be dividend-payers. Stock
under such circumstances will be just
