Nebraska Democratic Convention.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 23.-The Demo
cratic State Convention was called TO order
at 8 O'Clock. An hour was spent over the
temporary organization. which was finally
effected by electing B. A. Hinman. Of
Lincoln county, Chairman. The following
platform was adopted: We, the delegates
| of the Democratic party Of the State Of
| Nebsasks, in convention assembled, sub
NIT the following platform of reforms and
measures: First-We demand vigorous
frugality in every department and from
every officer of the Government, and we
heartily concur in the sentiment that no
| reform OF the administration is possible SO
long as the Government ia directed by q
| party OF false doctrines, and animated by
enormous interests and interested in
| the perpetuation Of existing abuses;
that the first ~effectusl step in the
| reform Of our Government must be .
fundamental change in the policy OF its
administration. Second-That in view Of
the unequal and discriminating operations
of the existing tariff. unjust and excessive
burdens are imposed upon the people, and
we are in favor Of q revision, which shall
limit it to the production Of necessary rev.
| enues Of the Government economically
| administered; that il should be so adjusted
as to prevent as far as possible unequal
burdens upon labor, and to bear the most
heavily on articles of luxuary, and lightly
on articles Of necessity. We believe that
such q revision Of the tariff laws, simpli-
fed in their operation and administration,
will decrease the growth Of monopolies,
prevent oppression and the spoilation Of
labor and the unequal distribution of
wealth, and abolish special and class leg
islation.
Resolved, That our fathers, under the
lead of Thomas Jefferson, rescued our Re-
public from the control of Federalism and
the alien and sedition laws Of the elder
Adams, so will the Democratic party in
1884 of the United States hurl the Repub-
lican party from power, and ~re-elect
Samuel j. Tiiden and Thomas A. Hen
bricks President and Vice President of
the United States.
The delegates at large are James E..
Boyd, J. Sterling Morton, W. II. Munger,
Tobias Caster. The delegates are all for
Tilden. Adjourned.
A Vault Robbed.
ST.. LOUIS, May 23.-The vault in the
City Hall in East St. Louis was wrecked
last night by burglars, and property
valued at $4,000 taken. Most of il is
city scrip, which is good for its face value.
The combination to the vault wal broken
with a heavy hammer, two holes were
then bored through the safe near the COM
bination lock, and powder was then
| poured in and exploded. The explosion
| was not sufficient TO open the door, and 3
hole two feet square was dug through .
20-inch wall Of the vault. Inside the
| vault there is q smaller safe, in which the
| money md valuables are kept, but it
| showed no signs OF having been Tio-
lently opened, except that the lock was
| sprung, and the small drawers in this safe
were forced open and the contents taken.
A large sledge hammer, Q horseshoer's
hammer, q common brace, and several
small tools used by blacksmiths, were
found this morning on the floor of the
| clerks room. All the tools were identi-
fed by Patrick Burns, horseshoer on
Collinsville Avenue, as having been stolen
from his shop last night. A reward Of
