NEBRASKA P CONVENTIONS HELD IN LINCOLN AND GRAND ISLAND ON THE SAME DAY.

Nebraska republicans, democrats, populists nnd prohibitionists held stato conventions on tho 26th of July, the first and last of the above politic al oiganlzntlons meeting In Lincoln and tho other two at Grand Islnnd. Republicans at Lincoln organized by choslng United States Senator Norrls Brown as permanent chair man. Congressman Georgo W. Nor rls opposed the election of Senator Brown, but was defeated. The platform ns adopted contains a plnnk pledging tho party to county option, to tho Initiative and referen dum, and to tho establishment of n state board of control. A rebolutlon by Congressman Nor rls, denouncing "Canuonlsm," was de clared carried by Chairman Brown over tho protests of many delegates, who demanded a roll call. Tho Incident marked tho closing of n convention that had been one of the most demonstrative In tho record of tho party. Congressman Norrls, who had opposed Senator Brown for the permanent chairmanship, offered the resolution while the repoort of the resolutions committee wns still pend Ing. At tho suggestion of tho chair, the Norrls resolution wns put over un til tho platform had been adopted. When this was llnished and tho dele gates wero leaving tho hall, under the Impression that tho convention was about to adjourn, Norrls called up his resolution.

No political organization In any conn tiy can point to such a record of aclilcwmeiitH during tho last lltty years ns tho republican patty of Ainerlcu. From Lincoln to O.irtUM, and fiom (inriletd to McKltiley, and fiom .Me Klnluy to Taft, wu can stand upon our tucord and challenge all comers to the lists. Yet It temalns trim that William II Taft as president, during tho last cotignss, lias brought forth mora legis lation for the benettt of the people thnn did any other president dtitlng tlio same peilod of time dining tho last quatter of a century. Hy his Impartial enfoi ce ment of the law , by the continued prose cution of Illegal tiusts and monopolies, and by his mom effective service In tho I egul.it lun of the tute-n and sen lee of tiansjioi tutliin companies, ho has mado good nil that his pn decessor had begun and proed himself true to the Interests uml welfare of the people. Tho interstate commetce act, In ItH ad ministration, developed points of weak ness, nml upon tho recommendation and insistence of tho president the-fo huo been remedied and tlio eoniiiiei te court has been created. For n quarter of n centuty ninny of our people, havo advo cated tho establishment of postal sav ings banks. What others havo attempt ed In this direction they havo failed In auompllshmcnt, but the wisdom and Insistency of President Tuft Ii.ih made tho postal savings banks a reality, liy his persuasion congress has passed u definite law, giving to tho president tho unquestioned power of setting npatt tim ber nnd mineral lands for purposes of conservation, and within tho last few mouths, In pursuance of that authority, ho has set apatt muny millions of acres. During till tho years of tho agitation of tho tariff question many have be lieved that thero should be an expert board appointed for tho purposo of sock ing Information nnd making recom mendations us to tariff amendments and revlblons. At tho solicitation of our president tho last congress mado a lib eral apprnptlntlon for such puiposos, nnd tho president lias already appointed a board competent and qtmlllled to go on with this work of tariff investigation. During his administration tho general tariff law Ii.ih been revised by a repub lican congress nnd Is now being tested before tlio Ameilc.in pcoplo by actual experience It may bo true that no tar iff law can bo pet feet In tho sense of bringing the best results to eviry par ticular Individual or to each particular locality or to each Individual Interest In n nation of 00,000.000 of people, cov ering ho vast nn hum, whose tiled In dustries nre affected by climate, and by transportation facilities, nnd whole theso ost peoples 410 represented In the senato and house of representatives liv about five bundled indlviditil minds att.t olres, there must bo concessions and compromises. Tho law u I Mi was en acted had the support of tho m.ijoiltv of theso lepnscntntlves It Is the law of tho land until it shall bo changed In the regular way. I airing the first eleven months of ox peiiemo under the piesent tailff law tlio lmpoits havo exceeded thoso of any previous potlod of like extent In the sum of $111,000,000,000 Aloie thin I'J per cent of tin so imports have como In under tho present tatlff 1 iw, fteo of duty, Tho customs ictclptri dmlng tho bamc eleven months, under the operation of tho tar iff liw, woie $30.$22.1fil. which havo not been equalled or executed during a like period of tlino for over thlrtci n cnrs. It nlfeo appears from actual expeilonce that the gross Impoitiitlons on which the tariff has been reduced under the pres ent tariff law exceeds thoso on whit h tho tuilft tlutv has been Incicasid In the ratio of six to one. As it republican paity. bo It icmeinbcred, wo ate pro tectionists Wo do not havo to apolo glzo to .my man or to uny nation for that billf On this docttlno wo build our faith on the teachings of tho pages of our couutiy'H hlstoiy. Tho republican patty ha snever failed except when It fnlteied. Its long ca reer of lctorv has been hy boldly meet ing each question us It aiose, by fac ing with coutngo every danger that crossed Its path, while Its fearlessness of consequence nnd Its determination to be tiuo to tho principles which brought tlio party Into existence, havo been Its Inspliatlon from tho days of Lincoln to Willlluni II. Taft. In thoso early das It faced Acces sion rather than glvo Its consent to the extension of slavery; rather than sub mit to n disunion of tho states, it took up tho burdens of tho civil war When tlio war was over nnd Oeneral Grant accepted tho surrender of General Lee, tho republican party did not stop to nuk tho question whether tho tonus of tho surrender wero tho best that might havo been obtained which should havo been granted. Uvery soldier and eveiy Ameri can citizen ncccptetl tho situation with out criticism. When a few yenrs ngo tho democratic pnrty presented tho Issue to free silver nnd many republicans, shifting to tho brcezo of tumpoinry populuilty, followed tho tenchltifiH of tho democratic leader, tho republican party, truo to Its trn dltlonnl Integrity, refused to nlmndon tlio gold standard, knowing that If It did so, it would plungo tho country Into dlFnster and dishonor. So now tho republican pnrty as an organization must not forget tho tra ditions of tho past: what it has accom plished for the present nnd whnt It Is euro to accomplish for tho future.
