NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.
A Wrangle in Convention Between
Silver and Cleveland Men,

Silver and Cleveland Men,
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 26--The demo-
cratic hosts of Nebraska assembled in
Omaha to-day, but the ranks were
divided and dissension has taken the
place of harmony. Before the state con-
vention was called to order to-day the
situation was chaotic. Free silver men
were in a majority, but the administra-
tion forces had control Of the central COM
mittee, and the indications were that a
conflict would be precipltated on the
temporary organizations. The Bryan
forces had selected Ed P. Smith of
Omaha for temporary chairman, but
this was not salts .actory to the Central
committee, and q meeting was held TO
name man who would represent the
administration. The free silver men
also decided to have A. d. Oldsham of
Kearney made permanent presiding Off
Ger, and this was also thorn in the side
of the administration.
The convention was called to order by
Chairman Euclid Martin at 2:25 p. IN T,
and the call for the convention was read.
Chairman Martin then said that in ac-
cordapce with established custom the
central committee would recommend
Hon. Mat Miller for temporary chairman.
The motion was seconded by a delegate
from the Third district. S. A Shoemaker
at once offered an amendment that Mr. f..
p. Smith be made temporary chairman
The motion was greeted with applause
and hundred seconds
Congressman Bryan arose at this point,
and when the cheers subsidized, said in
substance: 81 think we might as well un-
derstand each other in the beginning ana
save trouble. We who stand for free
coinage at 16 to |, believe that the state
central committee postponed their
convention in spite of the wishes
of large body of democrats,
and we believe that the object was
to defeat their wishes; and when the
state central committee found the party
overwhelmingly against it, it might as
well have taken the chairman the major
ity propose. We might as well commence
the fight now We have had conventions
in which the chairman refused to recog-
nize the majority. We want to say that
any delegate who comes here instructed
for 16 to | cannot disregard it. | ask
those who are with me TO vote for K. =.
Smith" [Applausel.
Mr. Miller then rose and told the con-
vention that he was not seeking the office
and came to the convention instructed for
Bryan and 10 10 Tor silver. Ed +.
Smith was then chosen by acclamation.
After the appointment of the usual
committees. recess was taken till {
O'Clock The Bryan silver faction had
charge of the machinery when it recon
vened at S o'clock, the credentials com
mittee reported all the contests in favor
of Bryan delegates, leaving the admins
tration and silver element as a small
minority in the conven tion-s scarcely
100 delegates. w. d. Oldham of Kearney
was made permanent chairman ana an
nounced the conven lion ready Tor nonina-
tions. DR. Edwards of Lancaster, amid a
great demonstration, placed Congress
man Bryan in nomination for United
States senator. He was chosen by accla-
nation and replied in a speech pledging
himself 10 work for free silver and against
monopolies.

JUBILANr NEW WORKERS.
Hill Considered a Sure Winner il
the Race for Governor.


the Race for Governor.
Washington, Sept. 26.-The nomination
of Senator Hill as the democratic candi-
date for governor of New York has set all
the politicians at Washington agog, and
speculation is at fever heat to fathom the
underlying influences which brought this
about. There are only few politicians
in town, but they are gathered about the
hotels discussing the situation at the Ar
lington hotel where all the New Workers.
in the city are to be found.
Franklin D. Lockett, ex-postmaster of
Buffalo under Mr.. Cleveland, was there
and leading in the anti-Hill talk. II will
never support ticket with Hills rame
at the head of it," he said to me tonight,
but Lockett is an intimate friend of
the President. AS na rule, New York
ers here are iubilant. They say Hill has
brought victory out of chaos. They be-
lieve that if he wins it carries him to the
Presidency. One thing is certain.
Hill has never made any political sacri-
fees, and if he can save the state to the
democracy at this time it will go far to
guarantee it to the party in 1896 under
his leadership. This means his future
preferment or final dislodgement. He has
thrown himself in the breach
where Whitney and other lead
ers were afraid to go. He
will make this the critical test Of his pow
er, and winning will try to put himself in
harmony with the national democracy,
where he feels that he has lost some
ground. One thing is certain, the fight
he will put up in New York will awaken
the energies of the party in every part of
the country.
Hills nomination, backed by Whitney,
at once ordains a new condition of things,
and the forecasting Of politicians for 1895
will all have to be begun over again. 1t
is freely predicted that Senator German
will contest every foot Of the ground
which leads to the white house with any
opponent from the east.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-09-27

seems to be the spirit which democrats
all over the country are evoking in their
speeches. 1t is the policy pursued by
VOORHEES, in Indiana and even in New
York, only the income tax feature is
being deprecated. In the south the fight
is being made on the lines which Mr..
German predicted in his speech, namely.
that the Senate bill is the best demo-
cratic measure ever framed in congress.
In the horizon German sees only Cor
man. His name was irrevocably linked
to the bill in derision. He believes that
it will prove the ultimate fulfllment Of
his hopes. He believes that a wave of
approval of the bill will shortly sweep
over the country and he is determined
that his boat shall be on the top of every
crest.
To this end, in order that he may reach
to the slopes of the Pacific, he is building
for himself a boat. He is preparing
coup, regular old-fashioned German
ten-strike He is veering from the old
gold standard and is bent on making
silver play. A very close friend of his
told me yesterday that before the close
of the next session German would be
reckoned as the leader of the silver
wing Of the Democratic party OF
course he will hedge so as not to
violate to too great an extent the so-called
bimetalists of the east, but for all that
German, in the near future, will predict
that the tariff has been eliminated from
politics, and that the financial question
will be the issue in the next presidential
campaign.
So much for German. 1t is well to
pause long enough over this to recall it
when it. shell come To PASS
