Bnn.1 In the hurried report of the ntulo con-
ventfou it was linposslblo to give In full the
consideration of Mr. Kccklcy's resolution
condemning the state board of transporta
tion. The gentleman from York ni.ulo n very
forcible appeal to the convention when ho of
fered this resolution ou l censured the board
for Its duminco of the popular will. The
party pledged itself to reduce rates nntl the
people expected It ; but the board had delib
erately done the bidding of the railroads.
Mr. Ambrose of Douglas expressed dissent
nnd said the resolution was alining a blow at
the board In a roununbout way. If the con
vention desired to punish them It could retire
thorn when their names cuuio up for renonil-
nation ,
One or two other members expressed simi
lar views and then a motion wns niiido to
le the resolution. Upou the call by counties
Lho motion to tjiblo wns earned by a vote of
4Si ( to ! WO. This was a narrow escape for the
cntiro board.
The resolution In favor of the non-Inter-
fcrcncoof federal courts with state courts
was then adopted without dlssont. That
completed the work of platform building.
It has since transpired that the committee
on resolutions stood 7 to S on the taritt' plank.
The three resolutions relating to prohibition
wore nil rejected by the committee after very
brief discussion. The resolution to bind the
party to support prohibition was not pressed
seriously by anybody. The resolution to
pledge the party to enforce prohibition If car
ried mis discussed In the committee but
llnallv rejected on the ground that its adop
tion by the convention would carry the infer
ence that the republican party wai not dis
posed to enforce the constitution.
Mr. KoHHwatcr'H Resolution.
LINCOLN , Nob. , July 21. [ Special to Tun
llKK.J In the report of the convention
yesterday the details of the vote on Mr.
Rosewutcr's motion concerning the adoption
of a platform in advance of resolutions were
not given. Mr. Kosowntcr stated that ho
desired to call attention to the fact that both
the republican and democratic parties In
every national convention adopt their plat
forms llrst , and then plant their candidates
upon them. It had been the custom of No-
bruslca republicans to nominate their candi
dates llrst , and then during the carl } ' hours
of the morning , when half of the convention
had loft the hall , the platforms were rushed
through , and very often blunders were
made that lit a close contest were
liable to provo fatal. Ho moved
that the committee on resolutions
bo at once appointed nnd directed to proceed
to the preparation of a platform , as expedl-
tlously as possible , and to report the sumo
back to the convention for discussion before
any nominations were considered. This mo
tion was promptly seconded In various parts
of the hall , but the chair manifested n strong
disposition to thwart the move. After a
spirited cross-flro u motion was tnado to lay
Mr. Roscwatcr's resolution on the.table. . .
This was voted down overwhelmingly , but
the chair claimed that ho could not tell who
hollowed loudest. A roll call by counties
was ordered nnd tho" resolution to table was
defeated by a vote of 5i 3 against toiWOfor
the motion to table. Thonnnounccmentof this
vote was hold by the chair for nearly twenty
minutes , while Howe was making up tho" list
of the committee.
On the announcement of the vote there was
loud cheering.
This was something now In Nebraska poll-
illcs to adopt a platform In ndvanco of nomi
nations , nnd ull people outside the combine
congratulated Mr. Rosowater.
