Omaha, Neb., March 6.--Yest erda y
was Bryan Day" in Omaha and
through cut Nebraska. With the dem :
ecratis state convention asa nucleus
party leaders from every county and
practically every primary district in
the state gathered here to pledge ale
glance to the presidential aspirations
of Mr.. Bryan and to consider me ans
for furthering his interests before the
democratic national convent on at
Denver next July.
Enthusiasm was prevalent through
out the day. 1t broke loose early at the
afternoon session of the convention and
gradually gathering volume, calmin-
ated in tumuItuous yociferatien when
at the evening session the platform
committee presented this resolution:
The Democratic party of Nebrask q
again declares confidence ia and adj
miratien for William Jennings Bryan.
In him we behold the ideal Ameri can
citizen-the ideal democrat. We re-
joice that the principles which he has
SO ably advocated have been gladly re-
eeiveo and are now generally accepted
by the American people.
Resolved, That the delegates by this
convention chosen be and are hereby
instructed to vote as a unit for the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan for the pres
idency.
Brief as this official Endorsement OF
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy is, it met the
full approval of the delegates. The
iron-clad instructions to the 16 men
selected during the afternoon to the
Denver convention will, it was thought
leave no doubt as TO where Bryan's
hop,e state stands. - ... s ss..sa
- PLATFORM HIS OWN WORK.
EThe platform ~ whole was Largely
Mr.. Bryan's own work. That it re-
f1ested the leaders, view as to what
should form the issues upon which
the party should go before the country
next fall was not denied. Mr.. Bryan
said that the platform was necessarily
incomplete, that some subjects which
undoubtedly will be included in the
Denver platform were omitted.

The election of S. H. Atwater to the
presidency of the Kansas-Colorado
Power and Railroad company by the
board of directors at Pueblo on Thurs
day is a matter for general congratu-
lation, particularly SO to the people
|of Canon City and Fremont county. He
is man of exceptional executive abil-
ity and of indefatigable energy, quail
tiles that will contribute more than
anything else to the success of the
great enterprise which he has been
chosen to direct. The Inauguration of
this splendid proposition implies tre-
mendous benefits to this city, and the
selection of Mr.. Atwater to carry for
ward the plans of its promoters is a
subject in which our citizens should
take a personal pride. If this magnif-
icent scheme of reclamation and de-
velopment is to succeed. as there is
every reason to believe that it will,
the greatest success can be attained
under Mr.. Atwater's supervision.
The meeting at Pueblo on Thursday
was of the most encouraging charact-
er. and. as a result of its deliberations,
an imeptus was given to the propo-
sition that will forge it ahead with an
increasing velocity. In consequence of

electrical companies of the country
and its success will mean a tremend-
Gus expansion in that field Of enter
prise. All OF the contracts for con-
struction work have been prepared
and will be signed up next week and
ground will be broken very soon
there after for the Pueblo-Canon City
end of the road. 1t is stated that this
division can be built, ready for opera
ton for the sum of 100000 and that
the money will be provided when need
ed. 1t is computed that the road will
be completed in from six to seven
months after work is begun.
1t was asserted at the Pueblo meet-
ing that the Northern Electrical COM
pany of Madison, Wis, had promised
would supply the necessary money to
build and equip power plant at
Garden City. erect poles, string wires
and deliver all needed power to the
farmers for pumping water for the
irrigation of their lands without cent
until everything was completed. When
all that had been done it would ac-
cept securities in escrow in payment.
The same proposition will be made
TO the people of Colorado, and its
liberality cannot help but appeal to all
who are interested in the enterprise
The chief engineer told the directors
of the company at Pueblo that the
transmission lines between here and
Garden City, Kansas. would in less
than two years be supplying power
for at least $4,000 electrical pumps
for irrigation purposes.
Mr.. Davis, the chief engineer, who
il one of the most careful and con-
servative of men. stated on Thurs
day that the enterprise in which the
people of the Arkansas valley were 50
much interested was In many re-
spects a unique undertaking, but one
of a great promise. While some de-
pendence," he continued. ''is placed O
