Proceedings of the Lincoln County Republican Convention. Saturday's republican convention was like an old time republican love feast. Its enthusiasm was in spired by the proceedings of the St. Louis convention; its patriotism and earnest work grew from an honest sense of duty: and its doings was the result of deliberation in which no man or class of men, was recognized paramount to the prin ciples of the party. Saturday's convention marks the turning point in the political his tory of Lincoln county. In it were the wheel horses of old, and the wheel horses of the future; it was composed of the better class of citi zen partisans, of men willing to sacrifice personal ambition for the rror1 rtf ttift nnrfv nnrl trnnd oovern- l j - & o ment. Its enthusiasm was doleful as a death knell to the coterie of populists who watched its proceed ings; the, harmony and prevalent good feeling were signals indicat ing- success in November next. o Chairman McAllister, of the county central committee, called the convention to order at 10:30 and re quested secretary Pro Tern John Sorenson to read the convention call. Major Woodhurst was chosen temporary chairman, and in taking the gavel remarked that he had never made a political speech and was too old to begin now. He was glad, however, that McKinley had been nominated and that New Jersey was now in the Union. On motion of C. F. Iddings, Carroll C. Haw kinswas made temporary. secretary. On motion' the chair appointed J. S. Robbins, P. L. Harper, C. Jb Iddings, Fred Kade and John Kin kade, a committee on credentials. Just at this juncture H. W. Hill entered the court room from the clerk's office with a large picture of William McKinley. This was greeted with an outburst of ap- plausethat was repeated every time the name of McKinley was men tioned. The chair suggested that while this committee was out the conven tion should be entertained by speeches from the orators present. George E. French was called upon and made a neat speech in which he said it was a pleasure to him to be with republicans on this eve of prosperity. The man nearest the hearts of the American people had been nominated by "the republicans for president, and the .people would see to it that he was elected. Ap peals from the north and the south, the east and the west, from demo crats and populists, from every sect and creed had came to the republi- con party in this great crisis to put clean men in office and pull the country out of the slough of des pond. All parties were looking to the republican party. Democracy had been a failure; the revenue of the country had grown less and less, and the country was getting greater in debt day by day. Give us national men and we will have prosperity instead of depression. Select as delegates and candidates men in whom we can have confi dence and then stand by the nomi nees. Do this and after next No vember we will have no populist governor in Nebraska, and no Kern in Washington. Mr. French was applauded loudly and his speech was marked by great earnestness and intense feeling. Hon. J. S. Hoagland was next called upon and said that the dele gates were here assembled to do the duty of loyal republicans. They had come to select delegates to the various conventions and candidates for two county offices. He wished to congratulate the republicans on the work of the national conven tion, and on their candidate for president. He was a man who did not have to go fishing for brain food to sustain him through presi dential perplexities. He was a man of American ideas, American poli cies and American principles. The voice or xne people nas Deen neara for protection, reciprocity and Mc Kinley, and this cry will not be hushed by the soothing syrup of sophistry. Weigh well whatever you do do your duty and work loyally until next November, and success will crown your efforts. Judge Grimes was then called on and responded by saying that every man in the convention had heard him, knew his sentiments and con victions, and theretore he would give way to Hon. W. M. Geddes, of Grand Island, candidate for state auditor, whom he introduced to the convention. Mr. Geddes said he was a candi date for state auditor and asked the support of republicans. He be lieved we were now launching out on a sea of prosperity. Nebraska was smiling with a grand army of advancing republicans. He was a sound money republican and be lieved now was as good a time to meet the financial issue as any other. Judge Grimes was again called for and said that he was a great deal like an old Methodist sister he once knew, who explained when everybody got happy at the revival meeting, that she was "too full for utterance." The nomination of McKinley, and his election meant the beginning of an era of prosper ity. The administration of Cleve land had been death to labor. This would all be changed with the ad vent of republicanism in control of national affairs. Great Britain was with democracy and against republicanism. W. T. Wilcox was then called and said that the exponent of McKinley in Lincoln county was George E. French. Mr. French should be the spokesman for the party in this county. Major McKinley and Mr. French were born in the same state, the same county, and on adjoining farms in Trumbull county, Ohio. Mr. Wilcox said that Mr. Cleveland could not even get a top seat in the top gallery at the Chicago conven tion, so great was the democratic revolt against his rule. Neither would any member of his cabinet secure recognition at that conven tion. And yet the administration had carried out the policy it had agreed to. Holcomb was not so good now as when he was elected. Mr. Wilcox said when he was a boy at home" his'fatber gavehinfa-colt. The colt was a beauty and that fall he. took him to all the fairs; he was not so pretty the next spring, and he took the colt to his father to ask him what was the matter. His father examined the colt, found it full of fleas and ticks, and exclaimed: 4Why, the colt is overloaded!" That was the matter with Holcomb. He was overloaded with political ticks and fleas. Ask your populist friends if they are disappointed in Omar M. Kern. Populists had said of Kem that if he was incompetent when they sent him they would keep him in congress until he was competent. He had been there six years now. Was he yet competent? In mentioning Jack MacColl Mr. Wilcox elicited considerable ap plause. He stated that the next congreeman would be nominated at North Platte July 3d. The committee on credentials then reported as follows, recom mending that delegates present cast the full vote ot their delega tion, and the report was adopted: Mylander Fred Kade. Wallace P. L. Harper, Saml. Farmer C. M. Hayden. Hmman-li. V. Jkves, W . M. Hinman. Blaine J. W. Johnson. Gaslin Fred Gjnapp. Buchanan B. It. Merrill, E. E Reece. Medicine C. A. Glaze, C. C. Haw kins, T. M. Lee.

George Finn moved that the tem porary organization be made per manent. George E. French moved that a committee of five be appointed to select eleven delegates to the state convention. The motion carried and the chair appointed Messrs. French, Love, Hawkins, McMurray and Hal, J. S. Hinckley moved that a com mittee of five be appointed on reso- luliens. The motion prevailed and (Messrs. Matthews, Hinman, Rich ards, Hinckley and Hayden were appointed. On motion of Iddings a committee of three was selected to name dele gates to the congressional conven tion. The chair chose Messrs. Id dings, Finn and Matthews. Mr. Iddings suggested that J. S. Hoag land be allowed to select the dele gates to the senatorial convention, and on motion of W. H. C. Wood- hurst he was empowered to do so George E. French 'moved that a committee of five be appointed to select delegates to the representa tive convention, and that said com mittee confer in the matter with J. S. Hoagland. Carried, and the chair appointed Messrs. French, Hall, Lee, Farmer and Sorenson. French suggested that delegates hand in to the secretary their choice for precinct committeemen as soon as possible, and in motion of Id dings the convention took a recess until. 2 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. At 2 o'clock Chairman Woodhurst called the convention to order. The committee on resolutions re ported as follows, and the report was adopted: The republicans of Lincoln county re joice in the prospect of our nation's early emergence from a condition of depres sion and ruin, brought on by the present democratic administration. They en dorse the platform of the recent St. Louis convention as a statement of prin ciples which it enacted into laws will bring about national prosperity at home and .world wide respect abroad. One great need of our county is that the present populist rule and ruin shall cease. Uur county should be so man aged that a return to the assessment basis so long in existence prior to this year may be re-established. A reduction of expense with relief to the people is better than increase of assessment for the relief of extravagant county officials. In that regard we each and all pledge our most earnest efforts toward the elec tion of a republican county attorney and county commissioner. Protection, prosperity and patriotism are our watchwords. The committee on delegates to the state convention reported the following gentlemen selected, and tliereport wasratifiedby thereon? vention: A. S. Baldwin, John E. Evans, Washington Hinman. Alex. Stewart, R. A. McMurray, William Woodhurst, P. L. Harper, Ira L. Bare, C. C. Hawkins, W. T. Wilcox and Fred Kade. The committee on congressional delegates reported for the following selection, which was approved by the convention: C. F. Iddings, T. M. Lee, John R. Ritner, Con Schar- mann, Cecil Tuell, Samuel Farmer, W. A. Gregg, Samuel Funkhouser, J. S. Hincklej', W. H. C. Woodhurst and James Auble. J. S. Hoagland reported the fol owing delegates to the senatorial convention: H. M. Grimes, E. H. Shaw, H. W. Hill, C. W. Burklund, Henry Coker, J. S. Robbins, T. S. Richards, A. O. Kocken, Samuel Funkhouser, Andy Scharmann and G. W. Finn. For the representative convention the following delegates were re ported and selected: G. E. French F. M. Brooks, J. H. Clark. John Ellis, Fred Ginapp, E. E. Reese,: J. H. Baker, G. A. Schrecongast, David Love, John Sorenson, John Knowles. G. E, French moved to make the nomination of county attorney. Carried. W. T. Wilcox in a fitting speech presented the name of Thomas C. Patterson. B. R. Merrill, of Buchanan, nom inated George C. McAllister. Mr. Patterson secured the nomi nation on the first ballot, the result standing Patterson 48, McAllister 17. . Upon being called for Mr. Pat terson thanked the convention for the honor conferred, for, said he, "it is an honor to be placed upon the same ticket with William Mc Kinley." Mr. Patterson said he first took his place in the ranks of the republican party in November, 1862, when our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, asked the coun try for three hundred thousand more, and he was still fighting for republican principles. He pledged himself to go into every precinct in the county and work for the entire ticket. He was loudly cheered. The following county central committee was then selected: Mylander Fred Kade. Wallace Louis Kelly. Sunshine Geo. L. McLaughlin. Hinman V. E. Hinman. Blaine J. W. Johnson. Gaslin W.D.Lyle. Buchanan VV. G. Shorsch. Medicine J. W, Bickford. Osgoud J. M. C Wood.
