In the national convention that assem
bled to nominate n president at Cincin
nati In 1S70 General Stewart L. Wood-
ford inada nn earnest nnd fervent appeal
to the delegates to vote with their heads
nnd not with their hearts. Tn malting
this appeal General Wood ford pointed
out the danger which tlirentoned the
party from allowing sentiment and on-
tlm.slnsm to outweigh prudence nnd
sound judgment. The Bee deems It Its
duty to repent the admonition of Gen
eral Woodford to the repnbllctuiH of
Nebraska , whose representatives will
assemble In convention next Wednes
day to nominate a state ticket.
The first aim of every delegate to
that convention should be to assure suc
cess in the coming campaign. With a
ticket composed of clean , capable candi
dates whose records need no defense
and whoso Integrity cannot bo Impugned
the republicans of Nebraska may inarch
confidently to victory In November. On
the other hand , a ticket loaded down
with men who do not command popular
eouildonoo and whoso characters or
whose olllelal ncls have to bo constantly
explained to the public will endanger
success both as to national and as testate
state campaigns.
One of the trite maxims of politics
as of war is. "Do not underrate the
strength of the enemy. " In entering
upon tlio campaign of 1.SJ10. republicans
of Nebraska should not delude them
selves with the Idea that a nomination
to a state ollico Is equal to an election.
Tills Is to be a republican year In the
national arena , but In tills section and
state every Inch of the ground Is bound
to be fiercely contested. To assure suc
cess , the parly must have not only the
active anil united support of all Its
forces , but also a ticket that will draw
votes from the great body of Independ
ent thinking cltt/.ens who measure the
respective claims of candidates by tbolr
individual merits. That class may de
cide the battle of Nebraska. The party
that shapes Its course and names its
standard bearers with a view to recruit
ing its ranks from the mass of intelli
gent independent votes is the party that
will triumph In the end.

It is not of great moment what Will
M. Manpin thinks of the money plank
iu the St. Louis platform , or whether
or not ho bolts McKinley and llolmrt
nf the comins election. Mr. Maupln ,
like all other American citizens , lias the
Inalienable right to express and vote
his honest convictions. Hut when his
views are paraded in democratic free
silver organs as gospel truth , and when
uo takes it upon himself to quote .Tames
.S. Garliold as a supporter of the free
silver doctrine , It becomes timely and
proper to take him to task for misrepre
senting the position of Garliold on the
question of money.
In tlio speech delivered by General
Gnrlleld iu the house of representatives
cm May 15. 1SC.S , Mr. Garliold said :
"NS'liat could now be of greater service
to our country than to direct its highest
wisdom and statesmanship to the restor
ation of our standard ? Kor three-quar
ters of a century the dollar has been
our universal measure. A coin contain
ing 'jr.22 ! grains of pure gold , stamped at
the national mint , has boon our only
definition of the word dollar. The. dollar
lar is tlio gauge that measures every
blow of the ax , every swing of the
scythe , every stroke of the hummer ,
every fagot that blazes on the poor
man's hearth , every fabric that clothes
his children , every mouthful that foods
their hunger. The word dollar is the
substantial word the fundamental con
dition of every contract , of every sale ,
of every payment , whether from the na
tional treasury or from the stand of the
apple woman in the street. "
Of course General Gardeld had not
hoard anything hi 1S08 about the "crime
of ' "I ! . " He had no idea that the restor
ation and continuance of tlio gold stand
ard established In ISM- with silver as a
co-ordinate coin would be proclaimed
high treason. In those days General
Garliold did not dream that such emi
nent financial lights as Harvey , Ilryan
and Maupln wore coming to preach the
gospel of salvation by free and unlim
ited sliver coinage at a ratio represent
ing only one-half of Its commercial
value. Mark that General Garllold's
standard was the dollar of l't.L'2 ! grains
of pure gold. When Mr. Maupln reside
and studios the works and speeches of
.ramos A. Garliold he will cease citing
him among the advocates of legalized
debt-scaling by currency debasement.

There Is a presidential campaign in
Mexico , but It docs not appear to be
particularly exciting , probably for the
reason that pretty much everybody Is
in favor of the re-election of President
Diaz for the fifth term. When Diaz was
lirst chosen president the constitution
provided that the chief executive should
not bo eligible for a second term , but
Dlay. had this provision stricken out ,
and while his motive in doing this \VIH :
unquestionably sollUh there Is uo doubt
that the result lias boon highly advan
tageous to Mexico. Diaz has shown
himself to bo a statesman of a very
high order and what lie has done In
advancing his country along all Iln s
markcs him as ono of the grout men of
his time , whose name IH easily llr.st
among these who have built up Ihu
Mexican republic. AVholher that re
public would bo what It Is without Dlax
is an unanswerable question , but it Is
Impossible to exaggerate the importance
of Ills services. The history of his rulu
Is practically tlio history of tlio repub
lic , for the republican system was really
not established until ho caiiu ; Into
power. It is true that the system is not
now Ideally republican. The fact that
oite man has boon kept so long In
power suggests tills. It is also true that
the methods which Diaz has employed
in his political administration have not
boon such as are strictly consistent
with a republican form of government.
lnt } the Mexican people are hardly yet
prepared or a thoi'ough republican sys
tem.
tem.Tlio
Tlio re-election of President Diaz , of
which there appears to be no doubt , will
possess an Interest for the United States ,
for the reason that the hearty friend
ship of tlio Mexican president for this
country assures n continuance of tht
cordial relations between the two re
publics If ho is retained In power nnr
possibly , with n change In ndmlnlstrn
tlon here , the development of more in
tlmato commercial relations. Anothoi
man might be equally friendly to tlu
United States , but we have had nn en
tirely satisfactory experience with Prosl
dent Diaz nnd know what to expecl
so long as he remains at the head of tht
Mexican government.

James A. Garlleld and Itenjamln Harrison
risen added to their fame by the ad
mirable short addresses they delivered
to visiting delegations when they were
candidates for the presidency. They
were terse , thoughtful and judicious
and It was profitable to read them.
Major McKlnley Is showing equal abil
ity In this line nnd If ho shall continue
as ho has begun his "talks" will be a
notable feature of the campaign and
will be serviceable to the candidate and
the party.
Major McKlnley has already sounded
some striking keynotes. In ids address
to the New York delegation , which
stopped at Canton on the return from
the St. I mis convention , the repub
lican candidate for the presidency said
that "all we have to do tills year Is to
keep close to the people. Harken to the
Voice of the people , have faith In the
people , and if we do Unit the people
will win or us a triumph for that great
masterful principle which , In all UK
years of the past , has given us plenty
and prosperity. " There was a great
demonstration at Canton on Saturday
and Major McKinley's address was replete
pleto with strong points and impressive
suggestions , lie declared that repub
lican principles do not perislf and that
instead of having suffered by defeat
they are brighter and more glorious
now than ever before , lie spoke for a
protective tariff "that takes care of
every American interest and serves the
highest good of American labor" "a
principle that insists that our work shall
be done at. home and not abroad. " lie
spoke for reciprocity that , "while seek
ing out the world's market for our sup-
plus products , will never yield up n
single day's work that belongs to the
American workingman. " lie spoke for
a sound dollar , "as sound as the gov
ernment and as untarnished as its Hag"
a dollar not only good at homo , but
wherever trade goes and as good in the
bunds of the farmer ami the workingman -
man as in the hands of the manufac
turer and capitalist. Every sentence
of this short address is marked by a
vigor and incisive force which cannot
fail to make an impression upon the
people who will read it.
The political organs opposed fo Major
McKlnley and the policy bo represents
object to the prominence which be gives
to protection in bis speeches. This waste
to have boon expected , because it. has
been the constant effort of the demo
crats to push the cause of protection
Into the background. To give it prom-
inondo Is to uxpostf'to view the incapac
ity of the democratic party and the dis
astrous consequences of Its anti-protec
tion policy. liit Major McKinley knows
thnl the masses of the American people
the men who labor as well as the men
who employ labor , the farmer as well
ad the manufacturer have this principle
prominently in mind and will not grow
weary of its consideration and discus
sion. IJe knows that the demand foi
him us u presidential candidate was duo
to the fact that he embodies the cause
of protection and Hie people who be
lieve In that policy want him to rostoiv
it. He cannot , therefore , too often speak
to them of this policy , by way of reas
suring them of his continued dovotloii

Tlio republican candidate Is furnish
ing excellent material for the repub
lican campaign.

Thurston Republic ( rep. ) : The people of
Nebraska want a practical business man for
their next governor ; an able , conscientious ,
upright man Is the need of the hour ; that
Eugene Moore would meet all the require
ments 1ms never been questioned , that he
Is gaining in strength as the time for holdIng -
Ing the convention approaches beems to bo
the general Impression. The republicans
of Nebraska will make no mistake If they
nominate Kugeno Moore for governor.
Gretna Reporter ( rep. ) : Nehania county
republicans have pledged themselves to the
nomination of Tom Majors again , but wo
have failed to locate another county iu the
state that has been guilty ot a like indis
cretion. While It is assured that the re
publican nomilieo will be the next gov
ernor , that man will not be Majors. The
man who should get that nomination Is
George D. Mclkoljohn , and just now It looks
very much as if the big congressman would
be the man.
Osceola Record ( rep. ) : The republicans
of Nebraska have enough candidates for
governor to supply half thu states In thu
union , and the beauty of the thing is that
every man of them Is a good , clean fellow
and If elected would make a good gov
ernor. The fight appears to be narrowing
down to MacColl , Melklejohn and Hayward.
These are three strong men , staunch re
publicans and lighters and any ono of them
will lead a campaign that will start the
opposition to the tall dark woods.
Fairbury Enterprise ( rep. ) : The delegates
to thq state convention should not lose sight
of the fact that the nominee for governor
should be a man who is friendly to the fra
ternal life insurance organizations and ono
who will not cater to old liuu monopolies as
Homo of the candidates have tried to do by
giving the fraternal insurance organizations
a black eye. These things should not be
lost sight of at this time. They have shown
their hands and now io the time for the
friends of fraternal Insurance to show theirs
and they'll do it , too.

benefit to the west In advertising to the

Osceola Record : Omaha got that special

Kearney Hub : The people of Omaha

emergencies.
Papllllon Times : We hope Omaha will
bo able to promptly raise the cash neces
sary to Insure the success of the Trans-
misslsslppl exposition. However , It Is a
large sum to raise in these days , and we

ought to help bear the burden , for we will
all share the benefit. Paplllion is ready
to do her part.
Schuyler Herald : Now that Omaha Is
to have the great Transmlssibsippl exposi
tion It is lu order for her citizens to make
every possible endeavor to secure the erec
tion of a suitable union depot. It would
be humiliating to have to unload the thou
sands from abroad who will coinu to the
exposition nt that old cattle abed under
thu Tenth street viaduct. A respectable
union depot Is now Omaha's greatest need.
Silver Creek Times : The exposition Is
bound to bo a big thing big for Omaha ,
big for Nebraska and big for this entire
western country. The construction of build
ings nlono will necessitate thu employment
of hundreds of men for a long time at good
wages and an expenditure of many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars , and should
result in tlio Inauguration of new enter
prises , Increased trade , a genci" ! waking
up of the entlro transmlssUslppI country
and the bringing to Nebraska of hundreds
of thousands of people , many of them to
remain permanently.
Basset Comet : In the year IStlS Omaha

Crolghton Surprise : H Is now predicted
