convention which was called for this city
on Saturday, June %, and which was the
first to be held in the state, will not be
staged as originally planned. The popu-
lists, under Chairman Urbom and Secre-

meeting the opera house with the demo-
Gratis, so they engaged a separate hall for
their meeting, where apart from their con-
temporaries, they could work out the de-
tails of their own county organization and
elect delegates to the state convention to
be held at Grand Island July &C.
The democrats however under Chair
man p c. Funk of Funk, and Secretary
Adolph Held will put on their act in the
opera house as previously arranged, and
preceding the separate conventions of the
two parties will be hosts to the populists
at program of speeches to be given by
Richard L. Metcalf of Lincoln, r. d.
Sutherland of Nelson, Governor Shallen-
berger and C. L. Hartman. 1t is rumored
here also that Judge Harry DUNCAN of
Hastings may come out this week for the
congressional race, and in that event ne
will be on hand Saturday for the pur-
pose of setting off the opening gun of his
own campaign.
