A great crowd came to attend the
republican state convention, so great
that more than a double force of bar
tenders had to be on at nearly all the
saloons, and at the bars of the leading
hotels the bartenders were quadrupled;
Two old pops were standing in front
of the Lindell hotel looking at the
crowd for anything anywhere if. there
the republicans always get such a
crowd?" "That is a simple matter,"
said the other. "You could get a big
crowd for anything anyqwhere if there
was free . transportation. Nearly all
of these men came on passes and
many of them have their hotel bills
paid besides."
One of the crowd ? of republicans
tackled the editor of The" Independent
and asked: "What do you think of
that crowd of mullet heads? Pretty
respectable looking body, ain't they?"
"They are not mullet heads," he re
plied. "Glad to see that you have
come to your senses at last. I suppose
that we will see no more about the
mullet heads in The Independent here
after," said the republican.' The edi
tor took another look at the crowd
and then said, speakin? slowly, "No,
these are not mullet heads. The mul
let heads are at home planting corn.
These are the men who hold the offi
ces and ride on passes. There are
some of the sharpest intellects in the
state among them."
That republican was disgusted with
the answer, turned on ; his heel and
went away.
When it came to the convention,
Burkett was immediately nominated
for senator and Mickey for governor
by acclamation. The railroad domina
tion reached a point at this conven
tion that astonished even the old-timers
in the republican party. Wherever
three delegates were caught talking
together, it would be found that two of
them were bitter opponents of Mickey.
Yet when the convention was called
to order, Mickey was nominated with
out a dissenting vote. The Douglas
delegation had 87 members. It was
frequently and publicly announced
that of the 87, 77 would not vote for
Mickey. One of them lold a member
of the populist state committee that if
the populists would put up a good can
didate, they would guarantee that
Douglas 'county would give the pop
ulist candidate 6,000 majority. Yet
this delegation went-into the conven
tion and cast its solid vote for the
n6mination of Mickey. The members
. of the Douglas delegation were elected
in one of the hottest contests ever
experienced' in Omaha, where the fight
was against Tom Dennison, Rosewa
ter and the police board appointed by
Mickeyit was really a fight against
Mickey. Yet that delegation came to
Lincoln and cast its vote for Mickey.
,Why? Go and ask John N. Baldwin.
Last week the Lincoln News said:
"If the republican state convention,
which meets in this city Wednesday,
does not by resolution instruct its
representatives in the executive; de
partment of the state government to
assess the railroads upon the basis of
the market value of their stocks and
ionds, the doom of the party in the
state election will be sounded." .
The convention did nothing of the
sort, but instead adopted as miserable
a makeshift as any party ever j dis
graced itself with. Here it is:
"In response to a public necessity
and the party's pledge, the legislature
has enacted a new revenue law. It
was .framed to distribute the public
burden with exact and even ' justice.
We pledge the party to a correction
of such inequalities as may be ,dis
cIikmkI and to tha assessment of all
property, corporate and private, at its
full value according to law, so that all
property shall have its equal share
of taxation. We favor the raising only
of such revenue as is needed to meet
current expenses of the state govern-

Among the resolutions sent to the
committee. was the following:."",
"We are in favor of, and if entrusted
with power, will pass a hill giving to
the . farmers' co-operative elevator
companies in this state the right to
condemn, by paying reasonable com
pensation, a sufficient portion of the
right of way of all railroads adjacent
to their side-tracks at stations to en
able these elevntor companies to erect
thereon and operate their elevators."
The committee on resolutions saw
to it that that resolution never got
before the convention.
