OMAHA, Neb, Aug. 1.-THE delegates
Republican conventions, which meet in
this city at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
are most Of them the city.
1t is apparent that the chances are re-
solved into almost a certainty that ex-
| Gov. Silas A. Holcombe will receive the
nomination for supreme judge, which is
the most important Office voted in the
fall campaign. 1t is conceded 10y his OPP
pOnents that he has an overwhelming ma
jority in the Populist and free silver con-
vention There is considerable opposition
to him among the Democrats-enough to
defeat him if he did not have so large
and compact majority in the Populist
convention. 1t is the almost universal
opinion among the most careful observers
that the insistence of the Populists will
finally win over the Democrats, who are
by no means unanimous in opposition TO
the ex-governor.
The Democrats generally cOncede that
the head of the ticket will be Populist,
as they expect the Populists to indorse
the Democratic electoral ticket next year,
and for this reason they are not likely to
offer anything more than a tentative OPP
position to Holcombe If the PopUlists in
sist upon his nomination by the conven-
tons.
It is conceded the platforms of all three
conventions will be dictated by the friends
of Bryan.
The conventions will nominate two can
didates for regents of the state univer-
sity. 1t is believed that Mr.. Smell, OF Lin
coin, who is a law partner of eX-District
Attorney Sawyer, will be nominee for
regent Of the university. He is an able
man, and has taken much interest in edu-
cation in Nebraska.
William j. Bryan, Senator Allen, Sena-
tor Teller, of Colorado; Champ Clark, OF
Missouri; Charley Towne, of Mime
sofa; Gov. Hogg, of Texas, and Will
lam J. Stone, of Missouri, are expected
to address the conventions, and careful
preparations are being made for the
greatest political demonstration ever wit
messed in the Republican stronghold in
the state of Nebraska.
This evening considerable opposition to
the nomination of eX-GoY HolcOmbe to
the supreme bench has developed, which
is likely to cause his defeat and bring
about the nomination of ex-senator w.
V. Allen or some other prom ;nent Popu-
list. Douglas county has all along been
opposed to Holcombe, and at the county
convention today a delegation decided
Iy hostile to him was chosen. Some
other Democrats tonight Joined with tbs
Douglas county delegation and the con-
vention took on a formidable complexion.
There is little doubt that Allen can have
the nomination if Holcombe is beaten,
and he stands well with the factions that
go to make up the fusion party.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 21-The state
Republican convention will meet in the
Harrisburg opera house on Thursday to
nominate candidates for state treasurer,
Judge of the supreme court and Judge
of the superior court. The nomination
for supreme court judge is equivalent to
an election, by reason of two vacancies

vote for more than one candidate. State
Chairman EIkins says it will be large
convention for an off-year, and that it
will dispose of all it's business in one
day.
United States Senator Penrose reached
here this afternoon, and will stay until
after the convention to which he Is a
delegate from Philadelphia.
Senator Quay is delegate from Beaver
county. and he will come up from his
Lancaster county farm on Wednesday
and stay until Thursday evening, with
Gov. Stone, a the executive mansion.
Col. Quay and his friends will control the
convention, which means the nominal
ton of Lieut.. Col. James E. Barnett Of
the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment, for
state treasurer; J. H. Brown, Of Lancas-
ter for supreme judge, and Josiah Adj
ans, of Philadelphia, for superior judge.
There is apparently no serious OppoSi-
ton TO any OF th7Se aSpTdhlS' anu 1uuI-
cations are that 1t will require no more
than one ballet to nominate any one Of
them.
The platform will indorse the national

OHIO REFORMERS
Have "a One-PIanIl PIatfOrm-Direct
Legislation.


COLUMBUS, O., Aug. A.-The state
convention of the Union Reform party
was called to order today by Rev. S.
Thompson, of Springfield, chairman Of
the state central committee. After the
appointment of committees the conven-
ton adjourned until tomorrow.
The delegates are divided into two fac
lions, one represented by Rev. R. S.
Thompson, who advocates the nominal
ton of a straight Union Reform ticket
upon a platform with but a single plank
that favoring direct legislation. Tho
other is headed by NJ. A. Neff, of Cincin-
natl, who desires the convention to either
indorse the independent gubernatorial
candidacy of Mayor Sam Jones, of To-
ledo, or leave the first place on the
ticket blank, for future action. The
Thompson forces won in the preliminary
organization. In an interview Mr. Thomp-
son says:
1.-The Union Reform party is new pO-
litical organization and should not lose
it's identity in the second year of its ex-
istence. Mayor Jones says he is in favor
of direct legislation, but 1 don't believe
that he knows what direct legislation
means. We are a party of but single
idea, while Jones is man of many, and
the result would be to confuse the people
and detract from the main issue

were rif1ed in an instant. Officer Peter

happened. He gave chase and the rob-
bers started on a run down Pine street
towards the gas house. The officer fol-
lowed them several blocks, firing when
an opportunity offered, but lost them in

Got Away Some Other Way.
Alex. Edmond, of Kenyon, a harvest
hand who has just come to town, was
responsible for the arrest last night Of
J. w. Regain. a waiter, and John Nc.
Donald. Edmond claims to have lost
$50 and thinks the two men know some,
thing about its disappearance.
Edmond came from Kenyon, MINI. He
had a nicely filled wallet and last even,
ing started out to see the town. Late
in the evening he met Regain and Nc
Donald. In company with the two he
made the rounds of several saloons in
the vicinity of Fourth and Jackson, and
later left a saloon with his quondam
friends, intending to go home. The two
men accompanied him to the corner Of
Fourth and Jackson streets. By this
time Edmond was very drunk, and as rs
reached the corner he fell in the gutter
His companions started off leaving him
there.
Sergeant Ross came down Fourth street
just in time to see the man in the gutter
and the other two making away. He COM
PEELED them to return to the fallen man,
who at once accused them Of robbing
him. Both were then placed under arrest
and taken to the central station.
When examined at the station Edmond
had recovered from the effects Of his
drunk enough to make a statement. On
searching Regain an envelope containing
sachet powder was found, which Edmond
identified as his own. On Mcdonald was
found a small lead pencil, which was iden-
titled as the property of Edmond. Neither
of the suspects had any of the harvest
hands money.

PARIS, Aug. 2.-M. de erals, minister

from the governor general of French
West Africa fully confirming the story
of the killing of Lieut.. Col KIobb and
Lieut.. Meuier members of a French ex-
petition, under the conduct of Capts.
Voulet and Chanoine, in the French Sou

great sensation and caused a most pain

ing that Capt. Voulet had become men

enough the killing occurred July IA, the
date of the French national fete
1t appears that on news being received
of the barbarity of the oulet-Chanoine
mission towards the natives on the march
towards Lake Tchad, the Dupuy ministry
instructed Lieut.. Col. Klobb, who was at
Calais to proceed at once, overtake the
mission. investigate the charges and az
sumo command. On July IA the KlobD
party overlook the mission at Zimbger,
near Dominica. Lieut. Col. KIobb sent
word to Capt. Voulet, who replied that
he would shoot him if he advanced
Notwithstanding this, Lieut. Col. Klobb
advanced and made himself known to
Voulet, who ordered him, peremptorily,
to stop. This order was disregarded, and
when the Klobb party was within $50
meters of Voulet's troops the latter, on
his order, fired three volleys, which were
followed by Independent firing. Lieut..
Meunier fell and Lieut.. Col KIobb,
wounded in the thigh was dispatched
by being shot in the head.
Voulet then ordered a bayonet charge
and the remainder of the Klobb column
fled, carrying their wounded, and leaving,
beside the two officers, nine men dead.
The survivors, ten of whom were wound
ed, reached Bosso under command of
native sergeant.
The VOulet-Chanoine mission has taken
to the bush, but, according to the advices
received by NJ. de Crais, a strong column
was sent in pursuit.
Capts. VOulet and Chanoine have both
