There nro vor/ low mon In Washington to-
nlgtit who nro fnmlllnr with political history
or ttio character ot the man , who Dollovo that
Mr. lilalno , under any condition of circunv
stances , would accept the presidential noml
nation at the hands ot the Minneapolis con-
vontlon. A score of the tnoU prominent re
publicans ai the capital said as much today ,
and in doing so cltod the words ot Mr. Blnlno
himself , written In this city on December 10 ,
1880 , in hl letter to President Garflold , ac
cepting the portfolio of secretary of state. In
that letter Mr. Dlalno said In effect that
having accented a cabinet position ho was In
duty bound to bo true to his chief and nisko
the administration of the chlof executive so
successful that a second term would bo the
logic of events.
In that letter to President , Garflold Mr.
Blnlno said this : "In your now relation I
shall glvo nil thai I can , and all
that I am or bopo to bo frocly
and Ju.v fully to your service. You
need no ptedg'o of mv loyalty. In hdiirt and
In not I should bo falsa to myself did I not
prove true both to the great trust you con-
lldo In mo and to your own personal and po
litical fortune * In the present and In the
future. Your administration must bo made
brilliantly successful and strong In the con
fidence and pride of the people , not at all di
recting Its energies for re-election and yet
compelling that result by the logic of events
and by the imperious necessities ot the situ
ation. "
MnUc Ills Position Clear.
Further along In that letter of acceptance
Mr. Ulnlno placed himself again upon record
in opposition to any act such as it Is proposed
that he shall commit by either suffering the
USD of his name in convention to thwart the
ronoinlmulon of his chlof or accoptlng the
nomination. If It should bo tendered him unsolicited - .
solicited , wnilo ho was a niombor of the cabi
net , Mr , Blalno wrote those words : "How-
aver much , my dear Qarliold , I might admire -
mire you as a statesman I would not enter
your cabinet If I aid not believe you as a
man and lovoyou as a friend. "
In that letter Mr. Blalno at some length
described how his fortunes wore these of his
chief , the president , and how ho Intended to
glva all of his heart , devotion and 'ambition
to the personal as well ns political Interests
of the president. After these expressions ,
if thero'wos nothlnir eftso In the \vi\y , It is not
believed Mr. Blalno would think of accepting
tbo nomination under existing circumstances.
Ho Is for very many reasons , and above
all , personal choice and inclination , entirely
out of the question. His best and most in
telligent friends declare that , should ho bo
nominated ho would promptly decline , and
many of them go further and say ho will
have this statement made in convention. In
1SS3 it will bo remembered Mr. Blalno wrote
a letter declining the nomination , When It
was Insisted that ho should accept and ho
was pressed to do so wbilo the convention
was In session , Mr. Blalno wrote a second
letter as follows :
"I nm not willing that oven eco of my
faithful supportorn In the past should think
'
tno capablu'of paltering in a double sense
With my words. Assuming that the presi
dential nomination could by any possible
chnnco be offered to mo I could not accept
without leaving In the minds of thousands of
these men tbo impression that it had not
bucn free from indirection , end therefore I
could not accept it at all. "
After the utterances quoted in these two
loiters it is not thought possible Mr. Blnlno
would accept the nomination if tendered at
the Minneapolis convention even though
President Harrison should withdraw , and
that is alto/other out of the question.
rminxylruiila Not Acnlimt Iliirrlson.
"Don't vou lot anybody persuade you that
Pennsylvania is against Harrison simply be
cause a few politicians arc opposing bis ro-
nomination , " said Ropiosontatlvo John
Eagar Uovtmrn of Philadelphia to Tun Bni :
correspondent this afternoon. Mr. Hey burn
represents the district so long represented by
the Into Judpn William D. Kelly of tariff
fame and is therefore a republican with solid
backlog. Mr. Uoyburn continued : "It Is my
Judgment that nine-tenths of Pennsylvania
would vote for Harrison's renpmlnatlon if
the question were submitted to a popular
vote today. Let mo see , I cannot romombcr
. aslnplo republican among all my constituents
who is opposed to the president. What have
bey to complain of anywayl"
"How about Mr. Blalno in Pennsylvania ,
an original Blalno state ) "
"Mr. Blalno Is out of the question. Ho
tvill not bo nominated. '
"But what if ho should bo nominated by
some hook or crook ! "
, "Well , " replied Mr. Roy burn , with me&s-
rod words , "ho would nevnr nccont. Mr.
Blaluo is too honorable a man to accept the
presidential nomination so long as ho was in
tno cabinet and the president was even an
implied aspirant for renominatlon. Ha could
not accept. Even bis enemies would say it
\vas dishonorable in him , otter having re
mained in the cabinet and accepted the good
graces of the president. "
"Do you think he will say anything further
on the subject ! "
XuTlnin for Further Donliils.
"I do not. Ho can't undertake to comobut
tvlth a denial of everything that Is said un
true about him. If bo did ho would bavo no
lime to oat or sleep. Public mon of his
prominence must not enter Into tin occupation -
tion of denials. Tlio people uro for Harrison.
Ho Is the strongest , ablest man In the partv
ami the party very seldom makes a uiistak'n
in its nominations ) There is scarcely a dele
gate from Pennsylvania who will refuse to
support him In the con vontlon. "
"I regard our state delegation as practi
cally If not absolutely solid for the renomina
tlon of the president , and I have not the
leatt doutit that bo will head the ticket again
this year , " said Representative Uroat , ono
of Vermont's loading republicans. "Ver
mont supported Horrlson in 18S3 and she has
seen no reason for -deserting him. Ho has
made an unblemished administration. Ono
'of my Vermont , correspondents in writing
ma only the other day observed that Presi
dent llarrlao'i bad already whipped two for
eign nations , mid" without firing a gun. Ho
_ referred to the masterly manner in which
" " "tbu president conducted tbo Chilian ana Bor
ing sea disputes. If wo had not every evi
dence of his sterling 'Integrity and snlondld
American opirlt , those Incidents would have
afforded them. With Harrison wo nro sura

BEK.J The most enthusiastic citizen of Lin-
coin could have \vlshod for no fairer weather
for today's ' silver cotobratlom It was simply
perfect. The forenoon exorcises were carried
out according to program. A largo con
course of pcoplo assembled at the ntato house
grounds to listen to the orations ot Governor
Boydnnd Hon. G. M. Lambortson. After"
muslo and the usual preliminary oxoroUos
Governor Boyd was introduced ana spoke ai
follows :
Governor lloj-il'n Oration.
Follow Citizens : As the chlof executive ,
In the nnmo and on behalf of the generous
pcoplo of Lincoln , 1 assume the pleasing
duly ot welcoming you to the ceremonies of
the celebration of the silver anniversary of
our history as n stato. It is the silver re
union ot the body polltio of Nebraska with
the sovereignty of the stato. I felicitate you
upon the exalted aspect of that sovereignty ,
resting In the people's will , decreeing noth
ing for the pcoplo , bat by the people , and I
take great gratification to myself In extend
ing an impartial welcome to each section and
valley , to every county and city and to each
hamlet represented by the people hero.
Thirty-olsht years ago now in the past ,
hero whore you now stand , was found n huge-
barbaric land , lying prone in a state ot nu-
turo without a landmark , anil without an In
habitant but ample for the homes and herds
and the harvests ot a million pooplo. You
nro the fortunate pcoplo ; you now have
these homes ; the herds are yours and you
have the harvests. You havu gathered , too ,
and have added lo these every other clement
of wealth lhat lies within the grasp ot a
Christian people. Science has given up to
you her mysteries and art has lent her dex
terous hand to add to your wealth and in
crease your prosperity.
I see before mo In the nudlonco some tow
friends and neighbors of the territorial
period ; then squatter sovereigns of high
rank , now reigning citizens of the stato.
And in years to como let the * grandeur of
our state bo what it may , back to you and
they who first lifted It out ot a savage do
main , the heart will always turn with senti
ments of gratitude and love.
The prosperity of the llrst dccado was not
uniformly equal or continuous. There were
seasons of warfare : of hardships and de
'
pression. The frontier settler , while ho
gave thunks ou bonded knees , rose up be
times and smote the aborigines ; and oft-
times ho contended with the plague and the
pestilence. But those visitations and vicis
situdes gradually passed away , and tbo stale
of Nebraska at length , on the first day of
March , ISO" , took her place In congress , as a
sovereign state , bcarlug that symbol of Jus
tice , "Equality before tbo law. "
From a population of 8S,000 in 1S07 to 1,030-
000 in IS'JO ; from IRU.GOO head of domestic-ani
mals then to 10,174,000 now ; from an assessed
valuation ot 20.000,000 at that period to ono
of $350,000,000 at the present time ; from 200
miles of railway twenty-live years ago to
.r > , ! > 00 operated today , is a brief story of In
ternal development and growth found In the
progress of no other stato.
Five years prior to the first settlement of
the territory but three states of the union
had a larger population than that of Ne
braska today , and It is safe to hazard the
prediction that before the next general cen
sus her people will number 2,000,000. Today
the eyes of the civilized world rest upon this
state ai a marvel of rapid and enduring
growth. And what should be a source ot
pride to us all Is that within Its borders is
found the highest grade of public education
and the 10 west percentage of illiteracy of any
commonwealth in the land.
1'rom Past to Future.
Thus , my fellow cltUens. by your fortitude
and enterprise : by your industry and wis
dom , the dust ot antique times , the mold of
ancient barbarism , and the last relic of In
dian savagry , have boon swept from the face
of this fair land. And U It shall be ques
tioned whether , with all this enterprise , and
its rich results , wo have not still the same
greed for gain , ambition to conquer , love of
mastery and rule , desire to scheme , and tbo
the play of unruly prejudice and passion ,
which bavo marked the history ot other com
munities , to their detriment , tbero can bo
but ono answer. Education , the ordinances
of morality and Christian endeavor are the
essential elements of society which will pre
serve Ibis nation and this stale. While- these
remain , who shall compote with you in the
honors duo to a slate- ; and who in your
abundant harvests , your enpastured plains
and valleys ; your rich balances of trade ;
your increasing commerce- and the expansion
and reward of labor.
But for ono moment a broader view. What
is the vitalizing principle of our civilization
as a nation , and tbo warrant for its preserva
tion ! That warrant Is the virtue and the in
telligence of all tho' people , who , receiving
tbolr broad inheritance , enriched in aeos
past by geology and Jta changes , with on
opulence of fertility and mineral wealth ,
have transmuted it beyond the dreams of
avarice , into manifold values , and have
.spread their domain from a narrow strip of
the Atlantic , Into continental proportions ,
from sea to sea 1
That principle of civilization is the representative
sentativesyaioiD. . which , when executed as
proscribed , strikes no name , however hum
ble or dependent , from the peerage of the
American republic.
Constitutional monarchies may boast of
colonial rule as lauds of settled government
of just and undent renown , and of freedom ,
broadening slowly from precedent to prece
dent. But ihoy have no popular representa
tion founded on the equal rights of the pooplo.
It was loft to the American colonies , alouo , a
century ago , by a written constitution , to
erect a landmark and muniment to tbo tem
ple of equal rights , and to guard it with a
force of moral power which tbo strong pas
sions of hostile armies could neither sever
nor overcome. Within that landmark and
muniment to civil liberty , the compotlt
society of this union has received protection ,
enjoyed stability , has made unlimited pro
gress and has accumulated wealth untold.
That union which baa defied the tempests of
the past century will , under the providence
of God , withstand the storms of centuries to
como.
An ode to "The Silver Anniversary of Ne
braska , " by Mary Baird Finch , was then
road by Miss Alamcna Parlcor ot this city.
Hon. G. M. LamborUoa was then intro
duced. Ho delivered an eloquent address of
which the following is a brief synopsis.
Judge J.umbertsou's AdclrcxH.
The passing of a fraction of a century , of a
generation of people , since Nebraska entered
the union , bids us to pause and rolled upon
the lesson of its career. If the birthday of
an Individual U worth the kooplnp , certainly
the silver natal day of a state is deserving of
moro than passingnoto. Tbo advent of the
territory iuto statehood , the admission of
Nebraska into the union on a footing with
llio original thirteen slates , the conferring
upon its people of all the rights and privi
leges that attach lo a citizen of the greatest
of republics , is surely worthy ot public rec
ognition.
If tbo learned and curious researches of
tbo lamented Savage may bo trusted , legend
and tradition have woven a romantic story
nbout.lhc land of Nebraska. If ancient myth
and fable may bo believed , a Spanish general
trod this very soil and halted only on tbo
banks of the Platte whore , tired , waary and
worn , ho learned that ho was pursuing only
the llgmont of bis fancy ; no kingdom , no
palace , no habitation , no people savu waudon
tug nomads , cheered the vision. Tbo view
of the vast desert was only con lined by thu
btooplng akies ; the soil seemed alorilu , lha
wotor alkali and the scorching boat op

and tradition proved to be but the allure-
inputs of the mirage that now and thou on-

cities with their gilded palace * . The droaiu
of the Spaniard was not fulfilled , but lu thu

year 17(53 ( Franco cedca the area of country
now known aa the Louisiana "purchase to
Spain , who continued In possession until tbo
year 1800 , when Bonaparte concluded a
treaty witb Charles IV , by which the entire
country was rotrocedod to Franco. In 1603 ,
before France had taken formal possession
of New Orleans and this vast territory , a
grave crisis arose iu European affairs ; war
again threatened tbo peace of Europe. Fear
ing that England with her superior naval
force might deprive Franco of her newly
acquired possession , Napoleon , by a quick
and brilliant diplomatic feat , placid Louisi
ana beyond the reach of England. Messrs.
Monroe and Livingston , representing the
United States , purchased this vast extent of
territory , fully as large as the thirteen
original state * , for tno comparatively small
sum of 115,000,000.
Nebraska as a Territory.
The annals of the early territorial days
possess almost roman q .interest. The ad
venturous pioneer who courageously turned
bis back on the comforts of civilized Ufa to
undergo tbo trials , brtfvo tbo perils and risk
the hazards of frontinr lifa'ls deserving of
the plaudits of the day Because bo planted
tbo seeds of present greatness. Tno man
who In search of bis "fortune gathers bis
wife and children aud'-'dll of bis worldly ot-
fects Into a prairie schooiter and turning bis
face to the setting sun.with a faith invincl-
jlo pursues bis woajy way half across
tbo continent , through patbloss des
erts , across wide 'rivers , over vast
plains and lofty "mountains , into a
wild , unexplored ojpd unknown land ,
vhoro to plant a homo ajnld unseen but cer
tain danger , possesses a .heroism which elo
quent word and poetic pea will ever fall to
mtlngly portray. WoHvho como after and
reap the fruits of the thbors of tboso pion
eers of civilization bavoi out a dim compre
hension of the overpowering loneliness , tbo
privations and the arduous toll of the ad
vance guard upon the border , who bavo
wrought out such a glorious destiny for
thnmsolvos , for us , for posterity.
Tbo growth of thu state since Its aamlsslou
bas DOOU steady. Wbat can give ono an Idea
of thn marvellous grqwtu of the state so well
as to express in figures tbo fact that scarcely
a mile of railroad was lu native onorauon la
Nebraska in the year lb&7 , while tbo present
total mileage is 0,401 miles. The total rail
road mlteaL'o built ID Nebraska in twenty-
live years is equal to that construct/id in
England , Ireland , Scotland and Wales in the
same period.
The Indian , buffalo , antelope , coyote , Jackrabbit -

elvon way before the inlolllgouco , enterprise
and thrift of a cosmopolitan population. 1'bo

products that the wild , wild west has become
the granary of the world.
Tbo waves of immigration , pressing
toward the sunset , turned back by the
Hockv mountains , are Illlunj our fertile lands
with representatives of all races of the earth ,
oven from the furthermost boundaries. In
our present population of 1,200,000 the ex
tremes of society meet. On the western line
is tbo advance guard of hardy pioneers ,
braving the hardships and perils of frontier
Ufa , while along the banks of our greatest
rivers dwells an older civilization , possessing
tbo necessaries and comtorts of life , the cul
ture , refinement and luxuries of the moro
favored commonwealth. If our civilization Is
not quite what the dream of tbo adventurer
of throe centuries ago conjured , It is richer
and greater than hU wildest fancy. Thus it
is with all our dreams , aspirations and nopos.
As the years go by , wo. in the ripeness of
time , attain them , but the manner and form
in which they are attained hardly conforms
to our sanguine expectations , or feud anticipa
tions.
State as a 1'olltlcul ICntlty.
Whether wo noprovo'or view with alarm ,
tbo fact roust bo conceded that tbo state ui a
political factor is diminishing In Importance.
The national idea has been growing and. ex
panding since the war , and the foaoral gov
ernment dominates and rules In what was
formerly supposed to bo within tbo exclusive
control of the state. This danger is not Im
minent , but tbo- march of events , unless
halted , is toward such u dcstluy. If tbo
staio bold * Us own in this race it must bo
vigilant against encroachments , however
stealthy and swift ; to resent Invasions , how
ever bold , of Us prerogatives.
On this day. when wo are assembled to cel
ebrate the union of the state with the nation ,
I am inclined to take an optimistic view of
this disquieting problem and express an ahld-
Inir faith that although the nation will , by IU
expansive force , extend its control Into over-
widening Holds and make its Influence felt
with a qulclcor and llrmer touch m every
part of the country , and.by comparison dwarf
tbo sovereignty of the states , yet it will not
crush , and wo may therefore look with contl-
denco to aoo oven in tbo distant future "an
Indestructible unlou composed of Indestructi
ble slates. "
