name as a delegate to st. Louis, be-.
cause he would not accept tho position,
He told me himself that he did not want IL,
and would not accept Il. The democrats OF
Nebraska would have boon glad 10 send MIR.
McShane TO st. Louis and ne could have re-
ceived the appointment beyond a doub. But
II is not necessary for hin to go. Mr. leve-
land Is perfectly satisfied that Mr.. McShane
could BIO elected a delegate IL he wanted Il.
l think Mr.. Shane has acted wisely, because
1t leaves the place open to some other demo
crat. If he had wanted TO 60 TO st. Louis,
he could have gone and IL would not be a
question between him and Boyd, because
both would have gone together.
5. N. WGlbdch, Grand Island: Our
delegation has been instructed for Boyd, but
we may have to give Morton n compliment
tary vote II he is a Cleveland delegate, but
if he isn't we can't svote for him. That
question will have to be settled by Morton's
friends. No, sir am not a candidate for
congress in the Third district. l haven't got
the time nor the money, nor the inclination
TO make a canvass. Besides, | value my ner-
vous system too much to go through the
worry and excitement of a campaign. But a
number of republicans in my district
have said IF Dorsey is renominated you
come up ana We'll support you.' Tho fact OF
the matter is, they say, Dorsey is q hog; he
wants everything and is willing TO give moth
ing. He has had the place now for two terms
and he wants 1t a third time. He's been
promising TO. give to Kearney, Grand Island,
NUTlulh anu ETeuOnJ pubic ROVcrn1nenJ
buildings and have sessions Of the United
States court held in each of them, and he has
succeeded in doing neither. Another thing
that the republicans are down on him for is
that he succeeded in having the congress
sional district central committee call the con-
vention for Norfolk, an out-of-the-way place,
on the 14th of May, Just the day before the
state convention is to be held in Omaha, and
that will not give many of the delegates time
to come here. You see he wants the
thing n0nn I'm with Qnnn i1nnmnnt
l would not be a candidate for congress
II l were assured of election. Dorsey's ma
iority was about 1000, and l went out of my
own county with a majority of 5000. So
pretty well.

NOTES FROM THE GALLERY.

an unknown delegate: Resolved, That we
recognize, appreciate and ommen the wis
dom of President Cleveland in retaining Mr..

there were no flies on this administration
while we are democrats said jolly
Matt Miller, gravely and reverently, ''let us
Voorhees,
Mr.. James E. North was heard to rem ark
that lobe Castor was the mildest hammered
man that ever wanted Office.
Senator Casper quoted aptly when. he ex-
citedly remarked, "the more | see of politi-
clans the more / admire dogs"
The following CHASTITY poem, the writing Of
which should constitute a penitentiary Of
fence, was found on the chairman's table,
Just before the convention convened:
You may shout and how for Mr.. Brown,
And for Morton loudly cheer,
And you may figure up and down,
But they're done for" this year.
The packing house nicely packed,
The slaughter house was scattered

With Brown and Morton battered.
Frank Johnson, a veteran democrat from

Bob Payne from Otoe county looked tear
fully upon the scene as Colonel Ireland

the sand hills, says he is not a packinghouse
democrat-but believes in the slaughter
house principles.
James Ewing, from Wood River, who
'looked inn with admiration, declared to the
gallery man that he was In Omaha only on
business, and that his sympathy was still
with his Gazette at Wood River.
In answer to Col. Webster's query, "How
do you stand with this convention 2" Charley
Green, in a moment Of confidence, said, a dash
sight better than with my own.
George Warren, who is an anti-mouopolist
from away back, circulated freely and
looked daggers of disgust at several motions
unanimously prevailing.
