Icy men had things their own way.
The convention was called to order at

speech on taking the chmair , commgratulatcd
time republicans of' Kentucky on time progress
they had made in time past thirty years.
lIe recalled time early days when , lie said , lie
had to get out a search warrant to find imis
political associates In timus state ; the hardships -
ships endured by tflase pioneers of repub-
licaimisni , their struggle against almost corn-
plete commercial and social ostracism , time
gradual development of time party organization -
tion in this state until now time republicans
politically own time state. ( Cheers. ) The
21,000 votes cast for Abraham Lincoln had
grown to 173,000 cast for Bradley. And , lie
continued , in 1897 , time republicans would
, have enough members of tile legislature at
Frankfort to htit an end to the usefulness
of th Jack Chinns.
There was small comfort for democrats ,
Judge Morrow said , In the rivalry for leadership -
ship among republicans. Their strife would
end with time announcement of the declaration -
tion of this 'conventIon. He urged the delegates -
gates to ac harmoniously in completing the
work of tue convention. Tlmey should , ime
said , make beir endorsement of sound money ,

scheme that will give to time country a depredated -
predated or debased currency. We favor time
usa of silver as currency , hut to the extent
only and under such restrlctIon that its
parity with gold can be maintained. We
are therefore opposed to the free and unlimited -

Above are given thenames of time macn
elected as delegates to the national con-
ventlon at St. Louuii by tIme republican state
convention which ummct for timat imurposo at
( ho Coliseum' ' last evening. This part of
time proceedings was most quickiy and liar-
moumiously accomplished , all time delegates
being elected by acclanmatlomm except George
II. Timunimei , wimo triummiphed after a close
tussle with his only opponent , Matt Daugh.
erty of Ogalalla ,
Besides selecting the delegates time con-
ventlon adopted a money plank whichi do-
dared in so many words against the free
coinage of silver after a futile effort to at-
hence the convemmtion en timat issue. The only
other difference of any consequence was over
the ratification of the resolutions adopted
in 'Omaha seine time aga as a compromise
botwcen , the supporters of McKinley' and
MuIndrson. In timis case eaatcr Timunston'
plea , for the compromise retoiutiouuts falied' tc
find a sympathetic responoo and a subatl- '
tuto reohution was adopted which contained
110 other name thaim that of William Me-
Idmmiey.
Time convention hail itself the hargeet ,
best ventilated and most convenlouh ever
tendered for time use of a state gathering
in Nebraska. There was as crowding of
delegates Into narrow ausleii , on the stage
and in galleries. Everybody had plenty ot
room , and the am'chmed ceiling nearly a bun-
tired feet from ( ho floor gave ample oppor-
tmmuiity for breathing-a iuxtmry seldom enjoyed -
joyed by conventions In Nebraska , The
floats amid paraphernalia belonging to the
lCnlgimts of Ak-Sar-flen lent a picturesque
feature to tii otherwise severe plainness
of time interior. The second Infantry band
from Fort Omaha was in attendance , and
while time huge crowd was assembling
