IJNooBN, April 20.
On Wednesday the Cd of May the union
labor party of the state will ineet in state
convention in this city in Fitzgerald hall
The call for the convention provides for 557
delegates, of which number this county is
entitled TO twenty-five. While it is not prob
able that the entire number of delegates will
be in attendance still indications point to a
largely attended convention and increased
interest in the new party. The convention
Is called to select eight delegates TO attend
the national union labor convention at Gin
cinnati that convenes on the 18th Of May
There are number who desire TO attend the
national convention of the party as delegates
from Nebraska, and the indications are that
Governor Butler will not have to represent
the state alone as he did year ago. It is
announced that Jesse Harper, of Illinois, one
of the leaders in the party, will be in attend
ance and address the convention. The diff
ferent labor organizations in the state are re-
quested in the call to send delegates from
their organizations to the convention, and
from this city the delegates have already
been selected. Ex-Governor Butler will be
in attendance.

alton of retail druggists will hold its annual

with their convention and everything will be
arranged for the accommodation and comfort
of their guests. Mr.. w. G. Lane, the local
secretary of the association, will keep the

MOVING TO WASHINGTON.
w. H. b. Stout, who recently with other
parties secured large contracts for public
buildings in Washington, has commenced the
movement Of his plant of machinery at the
StaUe penlUenUlury MS ueW uelQ OF opera
tions at Washington. Since the transfer of
the convict labor lease from Stout to the
Westernu manufacturing company large
portion of this machinery has been idle, espe-
cially in the stone and brick departments.
The prohibition of stone cutting in the peni-
tentiary under the extension Of the contract
removes that class of labor from the prison.
DEMOCRATIC WAR PAINT.
The action of the democratic county con-
vention in going outside the county to en-
dorse Morton has created merry war in the
ranks of the faithful and the defeat of the
minority who fought for Lancaster county
itself has engendered bad blood that was
eyinced at street corner discussions through
the day yesterday. 1t is generally regarded
that the action of the convention was o sell
out of John Fitzgerald for Morton and Nor
% to and the possses fsesans dstr ct
delegate to give Mr.. Morton the en-
horsement of Lancaster county as
q delegate at large is regarded as one of
Mayor Sawyer's sharp moves to appear as
Friendly to the advancement ofoa Lancaster
county man when In reality it means Mr..
Fitzgerald's defeat for the personal interest
Of Mr.. Morton. Among those who opposed
turning the county over to an outsider was
Mr.. Calhoun, of the State Democrat, John
McMonigal, Marshal Cooper, X. X. Hayden
and others. 1t is not known whether Mr..
Fitzgerald will consent to he delegate to
the national democratic convention, holding
as he does the presidency of the Irish
national league, but it is certain that Lincoln
democrats make him second to the Otoe
chief.
