The Administration and Silver Men
Pulling Apart.

The Administration and Silver Men
Pulling Apart.
OMAHA, Sept. 26.-Before the Demo-
cratic State Convention was called to
order this afternoon the situation was
chaotic. The Bryan free silver forces had
selected Ed. z. Smith for temporary
Chairman, but the State Central Com
mittee held meeting to name some one
who would represent the Administration.
The free silver men had also decided to
have w. ID. Oldham of Kearney for
permanent presiding officer, and this too
was thorn in the side of the Admins
tration men.
BY a vote of 30 to 3 the Central Com
mlttee decided to recommend Judge Matt
Miller of David City for temporary
Chairman, and allow the convention TO
choose permanent officer.
The convention was called to order at
2:35 by Chairman Euclid Marin of the
State Central Committee. Ed. 2. Smith
was made temporary Chairman after
Matt Miller had been named and had
Withdrawn.
After wrangling until midnight over
the question of fusion the matter was
postponed, pending the report of the
Committee on Platform.
The minority report was similar to the
majority report, with the exception of
the clause relating to finance, which de-
clared for a gold basis. 1t was wholly
ignored by the victorious silverites, how
ever, and the majority report carried
with rush.
After the adoption of the platform the
leaders of the fusion and anti-fusion fac
tlons announced an agreement, and Judge
Holcomb, the Populist candidate for Gov
ernor, was indorsed at midnight by a
large majority.
The following ticket was nominated,
lO4 antl-tusionists boiling during the
process:
Governor, Judge Holcomb; Lieutenant
Governor, j. n. Calm; Secretary of
State. +. r. Ellick; Treasurer, G. A
Linhart; Attorney-General, d. B. Carr;
Auditor, j. G. Dahlman; Commissioned
of Public Lands and Buildings, j. j.
Kent; Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, w. y. Jones.
Holcomb, Gaffin, Carr, Kent and Jones
are Populist nominees.
