WANT OUR ORATOR.
Manv Neighboring Cities Have
Tried to Secure John C.Wat
son For the Fourth.
Nebraska City's orator, John C;
Watson, has had a gr-at number of
invitations to deliver addreeses on
the Fourth of Jul'. It would seem
that he has' become very justly
famous as a speaker on subjects of
popular inter1!." It is said that he
was invited to speak at the Inde
pendence celebrations at Stella,
Plattsiuouth, Auburn, Syracuse
and several other places about the
state. However, he' has been com
ptlled to dec line all of these cordial
invitations. He has informed the
Press in answer to a question of
whether he would speak ni Platts
iuouth, as he had been advertised,
that he had been compelled to de
cline that invitation also by reason
of pressing legal business. There
seems t be a misunderstanding at
Plattsiuouth upon this question, as
the city is talking quite loudly of
having the honored orator in their
city on the day of the celebration.

10 MEET IN LINCOLN AUGUST 4.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee Met In Omaha Yester
day and Called the State
Conventiod to Meet
at Lincoln.
The republican state convention
will be held at Lincoln August 4th,
and Chairman Mercer of the state
central committee will sound the
preliminary tap of the gavel al 10
o'clock.
That was the decision arrived at
last evening by the state central
committee which met at republican
h eadquarters to consider the mat
ter. The committee was unusually
well represented.
A number of aspiring candidates
were on hand, looking carefully af
ter their boomlets. Among them
were H. C. Witham of Pawnee City
and Joseph T. Hartley of Atkinson
both of whom aspire to the custodi
anship of the state's cash for the
next two years. State Treasurer
Hill was there, bestowing smiles of
approval on each. Then there were
Eugene Moore of 'Norfolk, P. O
Hedluud of Holdrege and J. O. Cline
of Minden, each and every one o
them angling for assistance iu cor
raling the nomination for Auditor
Benton's job, and Auditor Benton
was quietly whispering how much
better it would suit him to have
George Bowerman, his present
deputy, named for the place.
Judge Hays of Norfolk was nurs
iug his congressional boom, and
Judge O'Neal was there to allow his
friends to point out his fine features
for congressman from the "Big
Sixth."
Secretary of State Allen and A. G
Humphrey, commissioner of public
lands and buildings.looked serenely
on, and thought how much better it
was to quietly take a renomination
for a second term according to pre
cedent than to cret out and hustle
for the first one. Editor Bushnell
of the Lincoln Call was there to
urge the claims of the capital city
for the convention, and Church
Howe troved around the outskirts
sizing up the political situation.
The executive committee met
during the afternoon and transacted
such business as there was on hand,
in the way of claims that demanded
attention.
After fixing the time and place of
holding the convention, the appor
tionment was fixed at one delegate
for each county and one for each
100 votes or major fraction thereof
cast for Attorney General Hastings
in 1890.
C. E. Pollock, representing the
young republicans of the state uni
versity, addressed the committee,
and a motion to invite the repre
sentatives of the college clubs to
meet with the committee carried
unanimously.
The committee adjourned to meet
at Lincoln at 7 o'clock on the eve
nmg preceding tne state conven
tion. Omaha Bee.
The platform was the cleaver
which threatened at one time to
split the party, but now the nation
al prohibition party is united and
to all appearances harmonious.
The platform which caused the
trouble is a broad radical docu
ment. The absence of a free and
unlimited coinage plank is note
worthy, however, for the convention
refused to accept the plain majority
resolution of the committee and
struck it from the platform without
replacing it with any declaration
on the silver question.
The convention followed the sea
son's convention fashion and made
a first' ballot nomination for the
presidency. General John Bidwell,
the old California pioneer, a former
congressman and now a wealthy
land owner of California, was the
nominee by an unmistakable
majority receiving 590 votes out of
a total of 974, 487 votes being neces
sary to a choice. It was greeted
with a deafening din of cheers,
whistles and cat calls. Cranfull of
Texas was nominated for vice pres
ident. V

cludes an amendment, however,
providing that the fair shall be
closed on Sundays.
