President Winter spoke on the issues
ronfrontlng republicans, raying among other
things:
The republican party stands today as
ever for positive policies Jt stands for a
protective tariff, it stands for sound
money , it stands fot tbe control and regu
lation of combination of cufiltal that hav
u legitimate purpose and tbe destruction of
combination that liuvi an Illegitimate pur
pose Jt stands further for th mainte
nance of the American war Hag in the
Philippine and in China until peace and
order prevail and life and jiroperty are
safe. It stands tor the retention of every
Inch of territory that comes ti us by hon
orable treaty and inteniatiimal law. It
stands for the full performance of our
duty in the elevation of th people placed
In our care to a high standard of civiliza
tion It stands for tbe development of tbe
commercial possibilities of tbe Orient It
r.tunds for the restoration of our merchant
marine. Flnallv. It stands for tbe people,
of tbe people and by the people, for tbe
progress of the T'nlted Slntes und the up
lifting of mankind throughout the earth
Grander principles than these have never
been enunciated by a political party in the
historj of tbe world.

We advocate tbe retention of the Philip
pines, not from a commercial jiotnt of view,
primarily There Is another principle in

the man above the dollar We believe in
expansion because It means the civilization
of the world We believe In American
expansion because it lias more of free

upon us the duty of promulgating those

hall. J. B. Donovan of Madison was made
temporary chairman and E. A. Porter of
Stanton secretary. There being no contests,
some one moved to appoint a committee on
credentials and after a few minutes tbe com
mittee reported nothing to report. A con
ference committee from the democratic con
vention here entered and asked that the pop
ulists appoint a like committee and talk it
over nnd was assured that everything war
done. It was then moved that a committee
be appointed to confer with tbe democrats.
It carried and the committee retired to con

In the meantime the democrats accepted
the report of the conference committee, but

turn. An Informal vote gave Adam Pllper

that be 'boarded the train either at this

work of polng through two Pullman cars nt
this place and, owing to the limited time be
worked, he overlooked paraeiigers and thou
sands of dollars that he could have secured

more systematically and thoroughly.
His pals, two men driving a team, were
waiting for htm one mile west of Bradshaw,
where the robber pulled the air brakes,
Jumped off. Joined his pals and drove south,

and last accounts are that they are hot on
the trail leading south of Henderson to the
Blue rlvor, where it Is believed the robbers
will be found and captured.
The Burlington is sending out dcsrr.p
