The Bepubliran Stale Convention.
The republican state convention of
192 lasted two days, but it suceec-dt-d in
putting up a good, clean, able lot of men
as standard bearers. A hard struggle
for the first place on the ticket was
made by tlie followers of Lorenzo
Crounse and Lieut. Gov. Majors, which
resulted in a victory for the former on
the first ballot on the morning of the
second day of the convention.
J. G. Tate was named for second place
by acclamation and John C. Allen was
nominated for a second term as secretary
of state without opposition.
In the selection of the candidate for
auditor seven names were presented and
on the fourth ballot Eugene Moore was
winner.
For treasurer but one ballot was taken
on which Joe Bartley of Holt county
was nominated, the act being made
unanimous before the roll call was com
pleted.
Superintendent Goudy, Attorney Gen
eral Hastings, Land Commissioner
Humphrey, as well as Secretary of State
Allen were nominated for a second term
by acclamation, which vVas a high com
phiuent to the manner in which those
officials have performed the d u ties de vol v
ing upon them during the past two years.
In tlie selection of presidential electors
two at large were selected and one from
each congressional district.
The ticket all through is considered
the best that could have been selected.
There will be no need of apologies for
the men who compose it and there is no
valid reason why the entire ticket
named at that convention should not be
elected by good majorities next Novem

The Independent Mate Convention.
The indejieiMlent state convention was
held at Kearney last week. The inter
esting preliminary contest showed that
Pow ers was no match as a campaigner
for Van W'vck for the latter used his ex
perience of a life as a politician and
showed no mercy to his apponenb.
When the time came for making nom
inations Powers took tlie platform and
staled that his name would not be
presented as a candidate for governtr.
An attempt was made to stampede the
convention for Leese, but failed and au

Powers was nominated for auditor.
He afrain declined, but tlie motion was
forced and carried by acclamation but
the old man declined the honor. A
resolution was adopted opjiosing any
further action in favor of the world's
fair, but later that resolution was again
taken up, reconsidered and indefinitely
postponed. Tlie resolution to do away
with the state militia created a heated
discussion, but was adopted. There
were 700 delegates in the convention.

Why tlifc reorlc nre Buying.
Omaha Bee.
It may safely be stated as an abstract
proposition that in a period free from
abnormal speculation and over-borrow
ing the people do not consume more of
the products of the country than they
can pay for. Luring the first six months
of 1892 the volume of speculation was
not unusual: there were remarkably few
wildcat schemes afloat; borrowing and
trading were conducted upon a con
servative basis; collections were re
ported good everywhere; and yet tlie
people consumed more of the country's
products by far than they had ever done
before in the same length of time.
The natural deduction from these
facts is that the poverty of the people,
of which so much is now heard from
some sources, is a myth, and that the
cry about hard times is unsupported by
the present condition of the countrv.
In the nature of things there will al
ways be many in poverty and distress,
but the people as a whole must alone be
considered in trying to determine
whether the present is a period of pop
ular prosperity cr not. When the
masses' are especially poor the contrac
tion of their purchases immediately

Alabama. They went into this work
with great enthusiasm, the old-time
democrats from the south talked with so
much confidence at Omaha that they
made many western fanners lieheve mat
the solid south was to 1 broken by this
new political force. The west was ready
to meet the south half way. Alaliama
was one of the most hopeful southern
states. There was a split in the demo
cratic party, lhe new organization
would take advantage of tins and unite
dissatisfied democrats with the alliance
men to sweep the state. That was their
Ian outlined at Omaha. But in the
r 1 I 1 ... 1 .J
campaign tlie Jolu leauers uepeuueu
upon another force to carry the state.
Instead of breaking through the lines of
the democrats, Chairman Bowman
sought iu efery way, even by forgery,
to secure the negro vote, which has been
republican. He forged Chairman Mose-
iv's Dame to an alleged Republican man
ifesto, urging all Republicans to vote for
Kolb, and he engendered more strife
than did republicans.
It should be remembered that Colonel
Kolb was an old democratic leader; that
he was for years a stale officer; that two
years ago he went into the demo
cratic state convention with more
delegates than any other candi
date for governor, and even by a
combination of all the other candidates
lie held them in a deadlock until they
bribed several of his delegates and sprung
several scandal" in the press which went
against him; that he was the leader of
the alliance in the stale, and as hopeful
of controlling his party in Alabama as
was Governor Buchanan in Tennessee or
Governor Tillman in South Carolina
But with all these advantages Kolb ha.
been defeated in Alabama. Governor
Buchanan has been compelled to retire
as a candidate for re-election in Ten
uessee, anu uovernor iillman has a very-
poor prospect for retlominatioh in Soull
Carolina.
the bubble has burst. There is little
hope for the people's party iu the south.
The Alabama election clearly demon
strates tins. The alliance men did not
vole the Kolb ticket. Their state
lecturer and several other state officers
desrted Kolb. The old cry of while
supremacy was just as powerful against
the new political combination as it has
ever been against the republicans.
Western republicans who had a lean
nig toward tne movement to take the
alliance into national politics are now
aoie to see how futile are the effort (n
break the solid south by such a combina
tion, bouthern Bourbons talk fair, but
they vote as they shot. The destinies of
this government can not lie worked out
along the alliance line, The old political
parties are to wage the battle and decide
whether majority oi- minority rule l,r,ll
