lrE the Candidate for Governor.
OMAHA, Sept. 27.—The fight in the
invention was short and decisive, and
Bryan forces carried every point.
E p' Smith, a Bryan man, was made
temporary chairman by an overwhelm
ing vote.
The fight was oponed by Mr. Bryan,
w bo, when the central committee’s man
jliller, had been named and seconded,
pose and said:
-I think we might as well understand
W ch other in the beginning, and save
trouble. Wo who stand for free coin-
«ire at 10 to 1 believe that the state cen
tal committee postponed this conven
tion in spite of the wishes of a large
Ixxlv of Democrats, and we believe that
the object was to defeat their wishes;
W1 ,l when the state central committee
found the party overwhelmingly against
It, it might as well have taken the chair
man the majority proposed.
••But it has refused to do this. We
might as well commence the fight now.
We have had conventions in which the
chairman refused to recognize the ma
jority. I want to say that any delegate
who conies here instructed for 16 to l
cauuot disregard it. I ask those who
pe with me to vote for E. P. Smith.”
(Applause.)
Mr. Miller then arose and told the
convention that he was not seeking the
office, and came to the convention in
fracted for Bryan and 16 to 1 for sil
ver.
Mr. Smith was then chosen by accla
mation.
W. D. Oldham of Kearney was made
permanent chairman and announced
the convention as ready for nomina
tions. Dr. Edwards of Lancaster, amid
great demonstrations, placed Congress
man Bryan in nomination for United
States senator. He was chosen by ac-
riamation, and replied in a speech pledg
ing himself to work for free silver and
against monopolies.
The following nominations were made
by the state Democratic convention af
ter midnight:
For governor, Silas A. Holcomb, the
Populist candidate, was nominated by
a large majority on the first ballot.
The balance of the ticket is:
Lieutenant governor, J. hi. Gaffin.
Secretary of state, F. J. Elliek.
Treasurer, G. A. Linlchart.
Auditor, H. J. Dahlman.
Superintendent public instruction, W.
L Jones.
Commissioner of grounds and build
ings, S. J. Kent.
With the exception of Elltck, Link-
hart and Dahlman the nominees are the
ones put up by the Populists.
Bolted, nml Here’s Another Ticket.
The state Democratic convention, af
ter a turbulent session, split at midnight
over the fusion. When Judge Holcomb,
the Populist candidate, was named for
governor, the administration men bolt
ed. The bolters numbered 104, and
they at once organized into a separate
convention, aud began the work of se
lecting a straight Democratic ticket.
The following state ticket was nomi
nated by the bolters, including delegates
of six counties:
Governor, P. D. Sturdevant.
Lieutenant governor, B. E. Dumphy.
Secretary of state, D. T, Rolf.
Auditor, Otto Bauman.

of James Van Blarcom, of Wyckoff, N.

In October, 1889, she married Martin
W. Packer, the son of a well to do

Packer went along in the wagon, but,

she had to do the driving. On one oc

West India Hurricane.
Washington, Sept. 27.—The weather
bnrean issues the fo!. owing special bul
letin regarding the West India hurri
cane:
The tropical hurricane, announced in
the weather bureau bulletin of Wednes
day as southeast of Jacksonville, has
moved slowly north, northeast to north
of Charleston, which station was within
nearly a cnlm center at 8 a. m., with a
pressure of 29.30 and a wind of 12 miles
south. Later reports show that the
pressure has risen six hundredths
three hours at Charleston, aud fallen
the same amount at Norfolk, which in
dicates a very slow movement to north
northeast.
Present indications are that the storm
will continue to move slowly until mid
night, probably diminishing in intonsi
ty.
Dangerous gales will be experienced
on the sonth and middle Atlantic and
south New England coasts; and moder
ately high winds in the interior of the
Atlantic coast states.
Daring Attempt to Rob a Bank by
Beardless Youth.
Mount Sterling Els., Sept. 27.—A
boy of 18 yearn, Ralph Conklin, single
handed robbed the Bloomfield Skiles
bank here and compelled the cashier to
hand over $411. Conklin lives on a
farm near here. On his way to town
he met Mack Dnnbar, and at the point
of a pistol appropriated Dunbar’s horse
and came into Mount Sterling with a
mask over his face. Tying his horse in
the rear of the bank he entered, and,
approaching Cashier Milstead, com
manded him to throw np his bands.
Without heeding his command, Mil-
stead took to his heels and escaped by a
rear door. Conklin quickly pocketed all
the money in sight, and, passing ont
the rear door, mounted his horse. He
was about to ride away when Constable
Snodgrass arrived and palled him to
the ground. Conklin broke away, how
ever, and ran down the street. John
Nighswander, a citizen, tried to catch
Conklin, when he drew his revolver
and fired, the bullet missing through
Nighswander’s coat. Conklin kept on
his wild flight, and* on reaching the
court attempted to steal a horse and
cart, but was knocked down by a brick.

AN OLD STILL.
A Moonshiner Who Has Eluded the Offl-

Memphis, Sept. 27.—Nowb has reached
here of the capture of the Weaks still,
one of the oldest wildcat stills in Ten
nessee, located in Overton county, by
Deputy Marshal Curtis and two assist
ants. Old John Weaks used to operate
the still, and when he was away watch
ing the movement of the raiders his
wife turned ont the “mountain dew.”
The daily output was only seven gal
lons.
Numerovs attempts have been made
to capture the still, but as the county is
filled with moonshiners and their sym
pathizers all previous efforts failed. The
still was destroyed, hut no arrests were
made. The moonshiners are beooming

many parts of the mountain country

that Nicaragua, in a friendly manner,
has forwarded explanations to the gov

Danger of Mob Vlolenoe.
Oskaloola, Sept 27.—A ooldblooded
murder occurred at the mining camp of
Evans. The victim of the tragedy was
Mat Smith, a white man, working on
the Rook Island saotion. The murderer
is a negro tough by the name of Lewis,
called “One-Armed Jack,” who, in
drunken spree, started in to do np the
section men.
The murder of Smith was unprovoked
and without cause, and was accom
plished by means of an ugly butcher
knife. Several deputy sheriffs had diffi
culty in bringing the assassin to jail in
Oskaldosa, as the miners and section
men wanted to lynch the man on the
spot. Lewis is now in jail, bnt fears
are entertained that an armed mob will
try to forcibly take the prisoner from
the sheriff and hang him. A strong
guard is on duty.
