sweep.
CHICAGO, October 2.
The Nebraska Republican Convention
assembled at Lincoln yesterday. A per-
manent organization was made, but up to
a late hour last night the convention was
still engaged with the contested delega-
TONS.
The Journals Denver special says The
Republicans yesterday carried the state,
county and city tickets entire, by largely
increased maiorities. The Hon. Frederick
w. Pitkin was elected for Governor and
Judge Bedford for Congress, by from 1,50O
to 1900 majority. The Legislature is
largely Republican, and tins effectually
sauelches Mr.. Loveland, Jay Gould's DEM
ocratic candidates for Governor and Sena-
tor, and insures a Republican Senator
from Colorado. The Greenback element
drew about evenly from each side, but car
ried nothing and showed no strength.

Agency would be removed to the new reser-
walton, and orders for transfer have been
received. The Indians are pleased with
the new location, the ugh reports to the
contrary have been circulating, and have
been impatiently awaiting orders for re-
moval. Matters have dragged tediously
along, until the Indians became thorough
ly disguised with the slow way of doing
business, and last week, after receiving
their rations they gathered their traps,
and, without the assistance of the agent or
authorities of the Government, struck out
across lots for the reserve. There was no
violence; there are about sixty or one hum
dred Indians in the body, and they tool
with them the cattle herd, in which there
are about 600 head.
Republican MajOrities.
DENVER, October 2.
Forty-one towns and precincts, in
Guiding three Democratic counties, Huer-
fano, Bent and Pueblo, give a net Repub-
lican majority of 1904 over the Demo
cratic ticket. The remaining towns and
precincts will probably increase the major
ity to 1000. The Greenback vote is, so
far as reported, 600, and will not, it is be-
lieved, exceed 1000 in the State. The
Legislature will undoubtedly be two-thirds
Republican in both Houses. Joseph G.
Wilson, Acting Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, estimates
the majority in the State at $500.

CHICAGO, October 2.
A special from Des Moines, Iowa, says

favorable response, and there is little prob
ability that either Of the -four banks will
advance that amount. Unless it is OBJ
tanned a large number of the public schools
must be closed.
