OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 11.-[Special tele-
gram to TIE HERALD. The Union Pacific
is now thoroughly alarmed over the atti-
tude of the city toward it and is making
preparations for arbitration. NO effort

and they could not hold them in court Of
law. Vice-President Clark and Director
Willard, of the Union Pacific, to-day con-
sidered the idea of completing the Union
depot if the city would confirm the title to
the land, the depot company to let the city's
100000 of depot bonds go, and the city to
waive the $500, 900 bonds to maintain the
depot and the $4,000 bonds to arbitrate
bridge tolls. The latter bonds were to
have been given by the Union Pacific alone,
as the Burlington is not interested in any
bridge tolls at this city.
GENERAL MANAGER HoLDREDGE,
of the Burlington, was asked to-day how
his company, as half owner in the Union
depot company, viewed the suggestion tC
the Union Pacific. He replied: II do moi
think that Omaha ought TO ask US to builG
q bigger depot than any other western
town has, and to build 5000, GOO viaduct in
addition without aid. Our company does
not, as rule ask aid in making improve
ments, but this is different case. The
viaduct is more for the city than for the
railroad. The refusal Of the railroads Il
build the Union depot after receiving rea
estate of great value as condition, was

special to the Sun says: A distinguished
party of Democrats arrived here from
Philadelphia last evening. In the party
were ex-senator William A. Wallace,
Congressman Mutchler, Eckley B.

were joined here by party leaders from
New York, Ohio. Indiana and other
Western and Southern states. All
united in long and private conference
at Wizards hotel. Before they broke
up they were pledged to aid in making
Hill the party'S candidate.
1t was learned that J. NJ. Kerr would
yield to appeals and accept re-elec-

that NJ. Gutfey should be named as

quet tonight at the Walker house, where
toaSts and speeches were INDUCED
in. Col. w. NJ. Ferry. member
of the national Democratic committee,
was the guest of the evening. At the
conclusion Of the exercises resolutions
were adopted addressed to The Demo
Gratis of the Nation'' declaring that not
withstanding the assertions of few
Republicans and Democrats in Utah,
the time has not yet arrived for
the ntl-MormOn organization to di-
vide upon party lines. The resolu-
tons are stated to repeat the sentiments
of more than $500 Gentle Democrats
in Salt Lake City alone and nine-tenths
of the Gentle Democrats of the terri
tory. The declaration concludes as fol-
lows: 1--WE hold it as a sacred duty to
keep intact our liberal organization
until such time as the Mormon
thousands have given full prove of the
sincerity of their AmericaniSm. Know
ing the situation thoroughly, We demand
of Democrats abroad who do not under
stand it, that they shall permit
us TO adhere to the ancient
Democratic doctrine of home rule
and keep their influence where
it will do no harm. Whatever
comes, we serve notice that we do not
propose to be read out of the natioual
Democratic party simply because we
do not feel that the time has come to
place the political power of this terri
tory within reach Of church. The
Democracy of the nation should keep
its hands off and let us fight out our
own salvation"
