Two names were placed before tho
delegates for the position of attorney
general They were Nelson O Pratt of
Omaha and Frank N Prout of Gage
county Considerable feeling was
stirred up over this matter It seemed
to hurt the majority of the delegates to
be compelled to take a vote so general
had the harmonious feeling become A
roll coll had nearly been completed
when it was seen that Prout had a win
ning lead and Mr Pratts uanio was
withdrawn allowing tho unanimous so
leotion of Prout

This time the roll call was gono through

against 404 for Hart
The Platform
Chairman John L Webster from tho
committee on resolutions then laid his
report before the house Its readiug
wus loudly applauded and the report
was unanimously adopted Tho declara
tions against trusts and the laudation of
the natiouul administration seemed to
be extremely pleasing to tho delegates
Following is the Dlatform as
r the Itepulillrniis of Nebraska are
unlike our political adversaries who In
lalo convention held high curulvul mer
Imaginary uvIIh threatening our t ouiitiy
ninl adopted platforms which am a stand
ing proteit against prosperity grandeur
ami glory We rejoice that we are eltl
trui of a mighty nation whose revenues
are larger than nt any previous period of
Its hlitory whose treasury Is overflowing
with gold whose agricultural Industries
flourish n never before whose laborers
ute nioro generally anil continually cm
ployed at profitable wage whose finan
cial policy commands the confidence of
tho people at homo and ntlmulntes our
trade with the nations abroad whoso pro
duct from the farm and the mill from
the workshop and the fuotory are a moun
tain of wealth whtihu commerce in Its
stupendous strides has outdistanced all
competitors whoio achievements In peace
and glorious victories In war are without
a parallel all these are living evidences
that It Is fulfilling tho destiny far which
It was created and that Democratic pro
tests cannot stay Its career
These and other equally meritorious
considerations have endeared our hearts
to our nations worthy leader William
McKlnloy a president who has wisely
dealt with new and untried questions
who has guided tho ship of state with
safety and security through unexplored
chunnols and tho troubled waters o agi
tated seas and in each hour of dangor
given evidence of such masterly states
manship that wo unhesitatingly indorse
his magnificent administration and pledgo
ourselves to secure to him tho vote of Ne
braska at the November election
We point with prldo to tho remodeling
of our tariff laws which has increased our
revenues and not Impeded trade which
has opened tho doors of mills and facto
ries to tho millions of American skilled
mechanics and Is returning to them tho
higher wages that are tho just recompense
for their toll
Gold Standard Endorsed
We endorse the legislation that has
strengthened our financial system and
firmly established tho gold standard and
mudo the American dollars so safe and se
cure that they are kept busy chasing one
another around tho endless circle of busi
ness too good to go into hiding and too
patriotic to steal abroad In answer to tho
cry for tho frco and unlimited coinage of
silver and tho claim that thoro Is not gold
enough as a basis upon which to do tho
business of the country tho United States
treasury puts In evldenco the fl20 000000
In gold that has ooino to it within a year
and the 418000000 in gold now held
within its vaults and the unexampled
prosperity and measureless and limitless
nnd countless fluuncial transactl ons thus
sustained without seeming effort
To the army and navy which so signally
and suddenly humbled our enemy and hon
ored them selves and doubly honored our
country and the causo of hum nnlty for
which they battled we acknowledge our
dobt of gratitude Tho Republican party
lias always been ready to protect Its pro
tectors and to defend Its defenders
While wo are unalterably opposed to
Imperialism und militarism as practiocd
by European nations wo are willing to
accept all the legitimate results of honor
uble warfare and wo assume tho burdons
of governing and holding territory Wo
are In favor of Increasing our navy to
such strength and power as will make us
600111 0 from foreign aggression and tho
maintaining of such an army us may be
necessary to quell insurrection establish
peace und maintain good order In our
Islands In the seas and protect tho flag
from insult at homo nnd abroad
But we are opposed to a largo standing
army in timo of peace rolylng on tho na
tional ardor of tho people to meet any
emergency with the volunteer soldiery
such as has for more than 100 years chal
lenged tho admiration of tho world
For tho nations defense for the
strengthening of the navy for tho en
largement of our foreign markets for tho
employment of Amorlcan worklngmen In
tho mines forests mills factories and
shipyards and for tho enhancement of tho
value of farm products we favor such
appropriate legislation as shall muEc the
seas give evldenco that American built
and American manned ships are carrying
American foreign commerce to tho four
corners of tho earth
We applaud tho nrlon of the administra
tion in securing to American merchant
men free access to trade with tho Chincbo
empire through tho ports and harbors
now held by foreign powers as one of tho
greatest achievements of diplomacy
Opposes TruiU and Combination
The Republican party recognizes that
legitimate business fairly capitalized and
honestly managed has built up our in
dustries at home given tho largest em
ployment to labor at highest wages and
enabled ub successfully to compete with
foreign countries In the markets of tho
world Bu t tho Republican party now
as always Is unutterably opposed to all
trusts und combinations having for their
purpose the stifling of competition and
arbitrarily controlling production or fix
ing prices Wo refor to the faot that all
restrictive legislation in the national
congress has been the product of the Re
publican party and we demand In sub
stance the following amendment to the
constitution of the United States Con
gress shall havo tho power to regulateand
control any nnd ull corporations copart
nerships and joint stook companies and to
enact such laws as will prevent any and
all combinations In restraint of produc
tion and trade tho formation of trustsand
such other combinations of capital us op
erate to prevent freo competition
We earnestly recommend that congress
devote a part of tho money now annually
expended In largo quantities for river und
harbor Improvement to reclaiming the
arid lands of the west and to this end
wo urgo our representatives and senators
to secure If possible appropriations for
expenditures In irrigation in tho western
part of our state
Stuto Interest
Wo aro not unmindful of local condi
tions and state interests Wo are in favor
of a reappnrtlcnment of legislative und con
gressional districts to ho based upon the
ceiibiis of 1100 that will uceord fair and
equal representation to tho peoplp in all
sections of tho stuto
Wo favor the widest latltndo of municl
pal rule consistent with our system of
good government Wo favor a revision of
tho constitution of tho state to meet tho
demand of her growth as 6he enters the
beginning of the Twentieth century
Wo cheerfully pledge ourselves to tho
