THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The republican party of the state
of Nebraska jives renewed expres
sion of its devotion to the princi
ples of the republican party and de
clares that those principles, as ex
pressed by the national republican
convention, should be the strong
point of union between all repub-
licans in me state or rveu ran a.
We consrratulate the people upon
the marvelous prosperity attending
the development and fjrowth of the
state of Nebraska during its twenty-
four years of statehood under re
publican administration, and which
has brought ns to the front rank
amonir the leading states of the
union; and we can fearlessly assert
that no state which has been coi
trolled by democratic power,during
anv considerable time of the same
period, can compare with us in the
economical management of public
affairs, in the rapid ratio of increase
in population, wealth and general
prosperity, notwithstanding the
fact that there are within the
borders of the state a number of
dissatisfied persons who took ad
vantaire of the general financial de
pression which swept over the en
tire country to pave their way into
temporary prominence by declaim
ing against the welfare of our peo
ple anil slandering the fair name of
our state. The rains from heaven
and the rich soil, vigorously culti
vated by the energetic hands ot our
farmers, have produced such bount
iful crops and such unrivaled pros
perity that shall silence all calam
ity talkers and add to the strength
and enthusiasm of the republican
party.
We congratulate President Harri
son upon hi eminently wise, loyal
and courageous administration, and
declare our absolute confidence in
his integrity, ability and patrio
tism, and pledge him our cordial
support in the discharge of the
duties devolving upon him as the
chief magistrate of the nation.
We rejoice in the restoration of
dignity, vigor and statesmanship in
the conduct of our foreign affairs
under the guiding hand of Amer
ica's favorite son, James G. Blaine.
We approve of the silver coinage
act of the present administration,
by which the entire product of the
silver mines of the United States is
added to the currencj-of the people,
but we denounce the democratic
doctrine of free and unlimited coin
age of silver as a financial policy
liable to precipitate the people of
every city and every state in the
Union in a prolonged and disas
trous depression, and delay the re
vival of business enterprise and
prosperit3" so ardeutlj' desired and
now so apparently near. The free
and unlimited coinage of silver
would tend to the hoarding of gold
and to force the use of cheap money
in the payment of wages in every
workshop, mill, factory, store and
farm, and tend to tjie scaling down
of the wages of the toilers and
weakening the purchasing power of
the dollar which would be used to
purchase the products of the farmer.
We are in favor of having every
dollar as good as any other dollar.
We demand the maintenance of
the American system of protection
to American industry and labor, the
policy that has been identified with
every period of our national pros
perity. We" admire the genius of that
heroic statesman. William McKin
lev. Jr.. whom the people of Ohio
will make their next governor as a
recognition of his' magnificent ser
vices to the countrj. We also com
mend ami endorse that policy of re
ciprocity by which the Central and
South American nations and the
Spanish Indies are being opened up
to our trade upon favorable terms
and bv which all the surplus
products of our country may find a
market and by which all our people
shall receive in exchange therefore
a lomr line of products which do
not produce ruinous competition!
1 "' 1 'inii1 i " ! -
We nre heartily in favor of the
general provisions of the interstate
commerce act, and we demand the
regulation of all railway' and trans
portation lines in such a manner as
to insure fair and reasonable rates
to the producers and consumers of
the country.
We favor such legislation as will
prevent all illegal condonations
and tinjustexactions by aggregated
capital and corporate powers. We
insist upon the suppression of all
trusts, combines and schemes de
signed to artificially increase the
price of the necessaries of life.
We regard the world's Columbian
exposition as an important event in
the world's history, and we are in
hearty sympathy with every effort
to make it a success. e snouid
make a creditable exhibit o
Nebraska's products, and we favor
an additional appropriation by the
next legislature for this purpose
that our prosperity and greatness
may be fully exemplified. We take
pride in this state We recognize
that its growth and power, its pros
perity and good name have been
the fruits of its industrial people,
and we believe in sucn policies,
state and national, a9 will promote
justice and widen the opportunities
among these classes. 1 o tlieir sup
port in the future, as in the past, we
pledge our most intelligent judg
ment and most sincere endeavor.
We denounce the Grand Island
platform of the democratic party as
framed with the deliberate pnrpose
to mislead and deceive; wherein
sympathy is expressed where none
ls -elt; wherein help is proposed
where none is rendered; wherein
purposes are avowed wnicn are not
entertained. In support of this in
dictment we point to the pretended
friendship for the soldier, winie at
the same time the democratic party
has always proclaimed against the
granting of liberal pensions; to the
tree silver plank, intended to deceive
the supporters of free and unlim
ited coinage'of silver, when it is
known that many of the leaders of
the party are opposed to the doc
trine: to the failure to give the re
lief from exhorbitant freight ratfe9
, r a a i .
wnue it was airaiu 10 eiiner ap
prove or censure the action of its
acting alien governor for vetoing
tne ivewberry bin.
We denounce the democratic
party for its insinuations against
the integrity of the supreme court
of the state as an effort to make the
judicial powers subordinate to
political parties and as disgrace! ui
to a political organization.
We denounce the democratic
party for its double dealing with
the civil and political rights of the
Feople, wherein it appears to favor
ree and untrammeled elections in
the state of Nebraska, but never
raises its voice against the political
outrages practiced against the re
publican voters, white and black,
throughout the democratic states of
the south.
We arraign the democratic party
as the enemy of labor, scheming to
break down the defense of protec
tive laws, to block the wheels of
home industry, and to degrade the
masses of the people a party con
trolled by aristocratic and sectional
tendencies, the legacy of slavery.
The republican party of Nebraska
appeals to the intelligence and to
the integrity of the people of this
state and from all good citizens we
invite support.

much better equipped for the posi

Everything indicates that the

This republican party glories at
its past record and points with con
fidence at its promises for the
future.
The republican party may be de

The following from the South Oma
ha Tribune a prominent democratic
paper from Edgertons home, ex
presses its position in the following.
conclusive terms:
le"frofiesr e.vv; id i. ii.if
it will find that three-fourths of the
democrats of South Omaha will
support A. M. Post in preference to
J. W. Kdgerton, now that the con
fVsf lies between these two candi
dates." The Papillion Times (dem) speaks
as follows:
"The mongrel element in the
democratic party has at last been
successful m scaring Judge Broady
off the democratic ticket. This re
sult was accomplished by means
most foul, solely in the interests of
certain democrats at Lincoln and
Omaha who have contracted to tie
liver the democratic vote to Kdger
ton. - The state central .committee
will meet and put a name on the
ticket in place of Judge Broady if
they can find a sucker for the
slaughter, which is far from prob
able. No reputable democrat will
accept such a questionable honor
at this late day, and so all intelli
gent men must now regard the
fight as between Edgerton and
Post, and to thinking democrats it
will not be difficult to make a
choice.
"As an individual democrat,S'oic
ing his own honest sentiments, the
editor of the Times can and will
conscientiously vote forjudge Post,
with only Edgerton against him.
The interests of Nebraska, her good
name and public credit demand the
defeat of Edgerton who is pledged
to uphold the crazy styhemes of the
leaders of the Burrows party. The
Times had honestly hoped to defeat
this scheming shyster politician by
electing the democratic candidate,
but since the withdrawal of Judge
Broady renders that hope unattain
able, we must take the next best
course and defeat linn by electing
Post. The editor of the Times
yields first place to no man in en
mity toward the high tariff and pro
hibition ideas of the republican
party, but must frankly confess
that the triumph of the Edgerton
forces would mean greater disaster
to Nebraska than could the election
of the blackest republican unhung.
And reasoning thus, we tmist (un
less an available substitute for
Judge Broady can be found) haying
the best interests of Nebraska at
heart, cast our vote for Post."

Snake Bite Cored by Snakeweed.
A small negro boy, who was playini
in the woods with some companions
near Pine Forest, was bitten by a rattle
snake. The poison spread rapidly throueb
the system of the boy, hia body began tc
awell. he lost the power of sight and
death was evidently approaching. - Mr.
Levi Dunn, who happened to be jaear,
was attracted by the cries of the negro'
companions, and ran over.
The boy by this time was in the lank
stages. Mr. Dunn, haying heard of the
curative powers of a small weed that hi
observed growing near, gathered a. hand
ful, and forcing it into the mouth of tbs
negro, ordered mm to chew it. Jou-
sciousness had not entirely left him, tux?
he obeyed. The effect was almost tc
stantaneous, the swelling disappeared
and in a short time the boy was out ot
danger. He u now at work and at;
right.
The name of the weed used is "snake

when it is wiped off no spot is left. It is
