Tim farmers near Ilavelock uro agi
tating tho question of building a
creamery. Two meetings have been
held. Jt seems probable they will offer

it so that it partially filled with water.
Ono of the girls grabbed oue of tho
men around tho neck in her fright.
Tho young man wa an excellent
swimmer, and, evidently thinking the
boat was going to sink and that ho
could swim ashore with the girl, jump
ed overboard with her. In jumping
they overturned the boat, throwing
.their companions into the water and
all were drowned. The first couple
were never seen after they sank.

Jhicaoo, July 4. Thero is talk
among tho freo silver leaders of call

tho purpose of fixing a slate. Should
this bo done, Governor Altgeld's Idea
of a "one day" convention may bo

W. II. Hinriohsen, chairman of tho
'Illinois State central committee and
dolcgato-at-large, says that thero is a
strong sentiment among tho free
silver delegates now In tho city favor
ing such a caucus. "Hut oven If thero
should bo no caucus," he continued,
"I have an idea that the work of the

Holes, Ulackburn, Matthews and Mc
Lean. Of these I rather inclino to the
belief that Holes nnd llland will g&

heads ugainst a brick wall with an
Idea of battering It down. Tho ma
jority of the Democrats aro for freo
silver, and it litis always been the
policy of tho Democrats to allow tho
majority to rule."
liinrichscn thinks that C. S. Thomas,
national committeeman from Colorado
und chairman of tho delegation from
that State, stands a good show of
being elected temporary chairman.
"It is quite possible," ho continued,
"that the temporary organization will
be made permanent. This could be
done for tho purpose of expediting
business."
COLORADO FOR BLAND

Denvkk, Colo., July 4. Five of the
Colorado delegates to the Democratic
national convention favor tho nomi
nation of Bland and, as tho unit rule
will bo observed, ho will probably re
ceive tho eight votes of Colorado on
the firit ballot. Should Teller's name
bo presented, Colorado votes will go
to him, but the Colorado delegation
will present no candidate.
Last week it wa planned to Bond a
largo and influential delegation ot
Colorado citizens, without regard to
party affiliations, to work for the
nomination of Senator Teller, but tho
plan has been abandoned, as the Sen
ator himself did not approve of it.
While no organised body will go from

CmcAoo, July 4. It has been deter
mined ns far us it nn be in advance of
tho mooting of tho national commit
tco that somo man not identified with
the nllycr movement, although ho may
have leanings tovird silver, will bo
selected for chairman. It is apparent
from tho talk of tho members of the
committee who nre hero that they do
not like tho torn-- which tho silver
men laid down for tho sub-cominitteo
and they feol that tho national com
mlttco should not bo dictated ta In
this mator. Hon T Cable, member of
tho nat'onal committee for Illinois,
who was not at tho meeting of tho
sub-commltteo when the delegation of
Oliver lenders appeared, says ho is op
posed to having the Democr.itie na
tional committee swerve from its
usual custom in Its selection of a tem
porary chairman, nnd if the conven
tion d( s not liko tho committee's
selection, It will havo tho right to
vote In another man. It seems to bo
the opinion that tho committee will bo
going fnr outside 'is custom to submit
to a faciion of tho party tho selection
of a presiding officer.

Washington, July 4. Members of
the administration, especially the
heads of departments, seem to be
reconciled to tho fact that no matter
how tho election goes this fall they
will havo no influence after March 4,
1897. Probably no member of the

appoint him to n judicial position
within tho next few months.

A motion to adjourn until 1:30 p. m.

First In order was tho seating of tho

"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tho
Convention: I never in my llfo realized
tho poverty of our language to express
sentiment as I do nt this moment. I
nm not a speech maker, but I belicvo I
am an honest citizen of Nebraska and
a republican whoso republicanism has
never been affected by political defeats.
If you want a candidate who can
pranco upon tho grand stand, I think
you havo made a mistake. Hut If you
want a governor who will attend to tho
duties of his office, you have, I think,
chosen wisely. Gentlemen, I can only
thank you in the simple words, 'I
thank you,' "

lieutenant governor, tho vote being
unanimous.
For secretary of state J. A. Piper
was nominated.
For auditor Peter a Hedlund was
nominated.
The balance of tho ticket was chosen
as shown at tho head of tho column.
THE PLATFORM.
Tho republicans of Nebraska in con
vention represented affirm their faith
in the principles enunciated In tho
platform adopted by tho nntidnol con
vention at St. Louis; tho platform of a
party not ashamed of its record and
compelled to abandon no article of its
ancient faith.
Chief among theso standard princi
ples is a protective tariff, that cares
for every American interest and secures
the highest good for American labor; a
reciprocity that, while seeking out tho
world's markets for our surplus pro
ducts, will never yield up a single day's
wage that belongs to the American
workman; a sound dollar, as bound as
the government, und as untarnished as
its flag; a dollar that is good not only
at home, but good wherever trade
goes as good in tho hands of a farmer
or a workman as in the hands of a
capitalist, a manufacturer or a corpora
tion. A foreign policy that respects the
American flag and causes it to be hon
ored abroad; thut embodies the sym
pathy of the American people in tho
(struggle of their oppressed neighbors
for liberty and self-government nnd
that jealously resents nny and all encroachments-
of tho military powers of
the old world upon the territory of any
American republic.
A domestic policy that accords fair
treatment and generous recognition to
the veterans of the union array, that
gives them preference, wherever prac
ticable, in public employment; that
suffers no union soldier, his widow or
orphan, to be deprived of a pension,
regularly granted, without due notice
and an investigation as thorough and
impartial as that upon the faith of
which tho pension was originally con
ferred. That provides a revenue sufficient
for current expenses and tho mainten
ance of tho public credit; that allows
no excuse for increasing the national
debt in times of peuce, and that re
stores our merchant marine.
The republicans of Nebraska most
heartily endorse tho nomination of
their first choice, William McKinley of
Ohio for president and Garrett A. Ho
bart of New Jersey for vice president,
and pledge them their enthusiastic and
undivided support.
They favor state legislation, with
proper restrictions, for the snfety and
protection of the people, under which
mutual insurance companies may bo
organized. The valued policy act
should not be repealed or modified in
any way that will destroy the equity
of its provisions.
The educational funds of the stato
should be Invested to the last possible j
uuiiur iu mc securities tpeciueu iu me
constitution, preference being given to
state and county bonds.
