The vote on submission in the
Republican State Convention was
310 for and 291 against.
There are no flies on the Wis
consin Republicans. They will
give twenty thousand plurality for
Harrison and Morton.
uIn his speech before the state
convention, Judge Wall pre
dicted 30,000 Republican majority
in this state. Had the convention
not gone to monkeying with the
prohibition question it would have
heennearer fifty thousand.
Under high license Iowa gave
80,000 " Republican majority. In
this year of enthusiasm for Harrison
the party will do well if they pull
through with twenty thousand.
The prohibitionists of Iowa are
trying to kill the party that gave
them prohibition.
At the representative conven
tion held in Ogalalla Thursday
evening Henry St. Rayner of Chey
enne county was nominated for rep
resentative. Mr. Rayner is the law
partner of Judge Heist, a young
man of fine ability and careful legal
training . He will be elected by an
overwhelming majority.
The Democrats nominated Col.
Hupfer because he is a good fel
low. The Republicans nominated
Mr. Oberst because he is not only a
srood fellow but possesses other
Qualifications that eminentlv fit him
to fill the office of county commis
sioner. We are sorry tor the uol-

The selection of John T. Nesbitt
to represent this district in the
senate next winter is one of the
most fitting nominations for that
body that has been made in any por
tion of the state. As a lawyer, as an
eloquent speaker and ready debater,
as a man of irreproachable charac
ter, he will be, the peer of any man
who will stand on the floor of the
senate, at all times exercising for
the people he represents the mflu-

nomination has not been the work
of politicians. It has come to him
without solicitation and without ef
fort on his part. His election by
the people will be almost unani
mous.
The Democratic State Conven
tion at Lincoln on Wednesday
placed the following state ticket in
the field: Governor John A. Mc-
Shane; Lieutenant Governor, Prank
Folda, of Colfax; Secretary of
State, Pat A. Hines, of Kearney;
Treasurer, John M. Patterson, of
Cass; Auditor, Pointer, of Boone;
Attorney General, W. H. Munger.
of Dodge; Commissioner of Lands
and Buildings, B. H. Jensen, of
.Richardson; Superintendent of In
struction, Marion Thrasher, of
Clay; Electors at large, W. G.
Sloan and Olif Hendstrum; First
District, A. S. Tibbetts, of Lancas
ter; Second District,J. C Kesterson,
of Jefferson; Third District, Charles
Allen, of Dawes.
Mr. Bullard made some wild
statements in his speech last Satur
day. By implication he said that a
ton of steel rails could be bought
in England for SI 7, or less than
one cent a pound. Not having-the
market report at hand, we will not
dispute the statement, for Mr. Bul
lard should be like the boy who
cut down the cherry tree. But his
assertion that there were 2,000,000
Democrats in the army, and while
they were putting down the rebel
lion the Republicans stayed at home
and could carry the elections and
mas such laws as the passed, can
lardly be sustained by the facts of
ristory. We were under the im
pression f;hat the Democrats de
clared the war a failure even when
the confederacy was tottering to its
fall, and they demanded that Lin
coln's hirelings should be immedi
ately withdrawn. Mr. Bullard's
coadjutors of that time evidently
did not believe that their brethren
were putting down the rebellion
else they would not have referred
io them as "Lincoln's hirelings."
ff Mr. B. keeps on in this line, he
will soon have attained the title of
jttonuuiental prevaricator. I
TJndbr date of August 23, Henry
Fisk & Sons, of New York, send out
a circular claiming that the sur
plus on the 31st of July, according
to the statement of Treasurer Hyatt,
was 132,517,751.55. According
to recent newspaper statements, it
is down to about thirty-two mil
lions. If this is true what has be
come of the enormous sum of one
hundred millions? The statement
f urfhrr says that the treasurer had
in custody on that date in moner
$732,785,527.76, one hundred mil
lion of which is "for redemption of
United States notes" greenbacks.
The question is naturally asked
why one hundred million dollars in
gold is locked up for the redemp
tion of greenbacks, which no one
wants redeemed? Its according to
law, but we are greeabacker enough
to believe that the time has arrived
when the law can be repealed and
the reserve put in circulation by
the purchase of bonds, of which
we have over one thousand million
outstanding. In the next congress
the Republican party will have a
"majority in both houses, when re
forms will be in order.
The publishers of Custer county
held a meeting, and the sentiment
expressed favored reducing their
papers to sizes that could be all run
at home. Many publishers with
.small circulation are sending out
large patent papers and are actuallv
losing money on their subscription
list. The demand is for low priced
papers, and publishers are obliged
to conform to this demand, and
hence country papers are in the
habit of estimating no profits on
subscriptions. People do not seem
to understand that a paper with 500
circulation cannot be furnished for
the price of a paper with 5000, and
expect the home paper just as cheap
as they can get the city paper.
Business is business, and no coun
try publisher can long do business
in any other than a business way.
He must make a profit on his paper
in every department. If he relies
on one branch to make up for what
he losses on another, his prices
must of necessity be too hign, re
sulting in a loss of business. Every
branch should be self-sustaining.
The sooner publishers adopt this
plan, the better. The Tribune
has pursued this course from the
start, and juding from the fact that
it is the paper having by far the
largest circulation in the county, as
well as the largest foreign circula
tion, the plan receives the approval
of the people.
- z
the state convention.
The Republican state convention
was a remarkable body in some re
spects. It was a temperance con
vention, believing that the question
of the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants should be submitted to
the people, while realizing that pro
hibition does not prohibit, but is
only a means to a desired end. It
was emphatically an anti-monop
oly convention, very strongly evi
denced by the votes on treasurer
and attorney general. A novice in
convention work could easily see
that neither Mr. Yost or Mr. Ein
sel could be nominated for treasur
er, not that the members had any
ill-feeling against either personally,
but there was a strong impression
that they were both under the con
trol of the railroads. While many
of the delegates, avowing them
selves anti-monopolists, were op
posed to Leese because thej be
lieved that he, as a member of the
railroad commission, had caused
railroad; building in this state to
stop, yet with this strong element
against him, reinforced by the rail
road people, he was nominated by a
good majority. The sentiment was
too strong that the people and not
the railroads should govern this
state for any combination to influ
ence its action. This sentiment
was forcibly illustrated too in the
negative influence of the Douglas
county delegation, thirty-seven
strong, and composed as one of its
members said, of thirty-seven ora
tors, not the least among whom
was the eloquent John M. Thurs
ton. The urban delegations could
not run the convention. The
country districts were on deck and
slates were broken without cere
mony. Composed largely of young men,
lfc was a convention of the people,re-
necting their sentiments and de
sires. It was a body of business
men, business being at a premium
and "chin music" at a discount. No
windy speeches were allowed.
The ticket presented to the peo
ple is an excellent one, on a plat-
fom that all can endorse. As a
matter of course Gov- Thayer was
renominated. Geo. D. Meiklejohn
for Lieut-Governor, is a fine man.
G. L. Laws for Secretary of State,
J. E. Hill for Treasurer, T. H. Ben
ton for Auditor. Wm. Leese for
Attorney General, and Geo. B.
Lane for Superintendent, are all
well known throughout the state.
John Steen, for Land Commissioner
is from Saunders county. He was
a soldier and is very popular where
personally known.
The ticket will be elected by
forty thousand majority.
been such enthusiasm manifested
for the political work in hand.
The convention was called to
order at 2 p. m. by L. A. Stevens,
of North Platte, secretary of the
senatorial committee. J. E. Morri
son, of Logan, was elected tempo
rary chairman and George McBride,
of Cheyenne, secretary.
The chair appointed as committee
on credentials, Judge Heist, of
Cheyenne; W. J. Fleming, of Daw
son; J. A. Wertz, of Perkins; M.
Oberst, of Lincoln and H. Collins,
of Keith.
While waiting for the report of
the committee, a glee club formed
"extemporaneously" composed of
Carey and Laing of Cheyenne, Mor
rison of Logan and Warner of
North Platte, sang a number of
campaign songs, producing the
wildest enthusiasm. A number of
delegates also made rattling
speeches.
The committee on credentials
reported the following delegates
from their respective counties:

The report of the committee was
adopted.
On motion of Carey of Cheyenne,
the temporary organization was
made permanent.
Then the convention proceeded
to the nomination of a senator. W.
C. Elder presented the name of J.
I. Nesbitt. Mr. Carey, of Cheyenne,
seconded the nomination.
On motion Mr. Nesbitt was de
clared the nominee by acclamation.
The glee blub then rendered the
song "What's the matter with
Nesbitt? He's all right!" fairly
setting the convention afire.
Mr. Nesbitt accepted the nomi
nation in a very neat, eloquent and
appropriate speech, receiving the
hearty endorsement or all present

The Thirtieth Senatorial District Conven

The Republican Convention for
the Thirtieth Senatorial district.met
at Ogalalla Thursday. The conven

county being represented by nearly
a fulfaelegation. Never before in
this district has there been such in
terest taken in a senatorial conven
tion, and never before has, there

the democratic county con
vention. The Democrats met in coven tion
last Saturday for the purpose of
t f 11 i ii
electing delegates to tneir various
conventions and placing in nomin
ation candidates for county attor
ney and county commissioner. F.
E. Bullard of this city was elected
chairman and Duvall Jackson- of
Wallace secretary.
About twenty delegates were
present. We will not characterize
them as "bulls" or "bears", or talk
about them pawing the earth or
goring each other. There was
nothing about the affair that par
took of a jolly circus performance.
On the other hand there was a deep
and mournful solemnity. Chief
mourner Bullard was the personifi
cation of grief, while the leading
S all-bearers, James E. Grace and
ajor Risse moved about like spec
ters in the solemn silence.
Our reporter did not get there in
time to witness the opening of the
grand obsequies, but we presume
the ceremony was imposing and in
keeping with the doleful surround
ings. After the opening ceremonies,
the following gentlemen were elec
ted delegates to the state conven
tion B. I. Hinman, W. B. Risse,
S. A. Grandjean, G. -P. Gavin, F.
E. Bullard.
Delegates to the congressional
convention Dr. Dick, George T.
Snelling, W. L. McGee, J. H. Day
and John Keliher.
After quite a lengthy and evi
dently painful silence to those on
the mourner's bench, W. L. McGee
and John Owens were instructed to
cast the vote of the county at the
senatorial and representative con
ventions. j
Thai CoLl'JL & Hupfer was nom
inated for cemMMBoner and Maj.
Risse for cowity attorney, there
being no off wtfaoi in either case.
How plcatanV it if to dwell to
gether in" Col. Hupfer was
not praatntj jad of course could
not make a saiweh, bat Mai. Risse
responded to the call of the dele
gates to ,relieT ihet stillness that
Eervaded:tttr great kail of the court
ouse disturbed jmXj by a story
from janitor Toataiy Reed in the
back part of 1mT room. Maj. Risse
was not in.hw uaual good tnm ap
parently; but he assured the dele
gates that the Republican nominee
for attorney would not have a
walk-. way by any means. He
would prosecute the canvass for all
there was in it, and when the votes
were counted he didn't propose to
be second best. The Major is a
good talker and he knows it is nec
essary to put as much wind in the
canvass as possible.
The delegates to the state con
vention were instructed to use their
best effq'rts,' to have F. E. Bullard,
of thistcityi placed on the ticket as
a candidate for-elector.
This was' supposed to about close
the proceedings' but a few" faint
call forV.E.TJulIard brought that
gentlemin.ioliie ftet Mr. Bullard
said that' thetariff was going to be
the great issue of this campaign;
that the Republicans were just as
anxious to have a reduction of the
tariff as theDemocrats, but that
the Republicans'hadn't the brain to
originate the "measure. Referring
to the wa jhe said there were two
million Democrats in the army,that
the army was composed of Demo
crats, and that the Republicans
being left at home had everything
their own way. He again referred
to the tan&and said that the tariff
is robbing the people. "When a
ton of steel rails costs 17 in Eng
land and $35 in, the United States,
somebody robbing you." He
dwelt at&onsiderable length on the
subject. 'r f.u
After reading the proceedings
the convention adjourned.
-i jj" j i- - a .-a- i "
In a recent speech Mr. Blaine
made the following apt comparison:
"We are now in the twenty-eighth
year of a protective tariff, enacted
by a Republican congress, and made
more effective from year to year
as industrial experience enabled
congresslrom time to time to cor
rect and adjust its workings. How,
then, stands the matter at the end
of twenty-eight years of protec
tion? The wagerworkers or New
York and New England have
$715,000,000 to -their credit or
nearly eight times the amount
gained under twenty-eight years of
free traVlean the same states. The
population" of- the seven states at
tne ciose oi tne long era or tree
trade was 7,250,000, and their pop
ulation in this twenty-eight years
of protection is presumed to be
11,000,000. The wage-workers of
these states, toiling under a tariff
revenue such as is .recommended
by the, president, had earned a sur-
plus amounting to $13.du for each
person, of the entire population,
while the wage-workers for the lat
ter period, .under a protective tariff,
have earned $65 per head for the
total population; or in other words
the average wage-worker under a
protective tariff m the United
States has been able to save five
times as much as the average
wage-worlter under a mere revenue
tariff." hw
The president has vetoed the bill
for a pnblic building at Sioux City.
He wants time "to investigate
and find out how large Sioux City
is. Certainly that is reason enough.
Congress oi course passed the bill
in a sort of haphazard way without
knowing whether Sioux City was
an Indian village or a populous
city, and the 'president ought to
have time i r to find this out. True,
he approved bills for public build
ings in towns of Missouri and other
southern states, not large enough
to be classed as second class post-
offices and wnere the need of a pub
lic building is not as apparent as
the need of4a fifth wheel to a? farm
agon, butV.tben there is a differ-
ence aonftfcjou now. fublic
buildings4!" Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Iowa cities involve a waste of
money money that will not bring
a return in Democratic electoral
votes. Then, too, don't you know,
a man can t be blamed for reward
ing his friends. State Journal.
Walt Mason says: "Parties who
voted for George Washington
when he was elected president will
pleace report at this office. It is
proposed to establish another Old
Guard for effective campaign
work.
Cleveland has contributed ten
thousand dollars to the national
campaign fund. His partisans in
sist that it is not an unusually
large amount; but compared to the
paltry forty dollars he sent to the
Charleston earthquake sufferers,
ten thousand dollars will appear
excessively large.
Thanks to Congressman Scott,
the fiscal agent of the Democratic
campaign committee, the coal ring
proposes to advance anthracite coal
"twenty-five cents a ton anyway,
and perhaps fifty cents" for Septem
ber purchases.. A similar advance
from the advanced price will be
made for October purchases, and
by election time it is expected that
the price will be 8.50 a ton
Congressman Scott is the chief ex
ponent of the free trade' method of-
"maKing tne necessaries oi me
cheap."
Senator Allison has been doing
some more figuring and he finds
that the expenditures of the gov
ernment during the four years of
Cleveland's administration exceeded
by ninety-five million dollars the
expenditures for the four years of
Garfield's and Arthur's administra
tions. Senator Beck, in replying
to this, complimented benator Al
lison for his fairness. And yet
this is the great reform administra
tion, an administration that came
into power on its promise of econo
my and on its charges of Republi
can reckless and extravagance.
Yes, this is a wonderful administra
tion wonderful for a good many
things that it would rather not
have brought to public attention.
