It WILLIAMS Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10. If a quiet meeting and comparison of views were held tonight by Judge Den S. Baker, John L. Webster, W. F. Gurlcy, A. 12. Barnes, R. P. High, W. P McCreary and a few others it is safe to say that they would be unanimous on one point, and that point of common agreement would be that the republican machine Is a powerful engine when used as an extinguisher Each of these and there aro others has had an experience. The convention that was held today had scarcely more vim about It than that of a year ago, and the most cur sory glance showed the absence of that old-time enthusiasm which used to dis tinguish republican conventions. Hay ward had the thing In his hands from the beginning, and all of Baker's buck ing had no effect on the other candi dates' lines. When the time came the convention managers made then strength apparent and the little opposi tion crowd was not left with breath enough to "holler" when they were hit. GURLEY HEADED OFF. The convention In the first place gen tly but firmly refused -to allow any nominating speeches until after Baker was disposed of and all danger from W. F. Gurley's batteries was past. As a result the operation of chloroforming tho obstreperous clement was perform ed In dead silence except as It was In terrupted by tho slew calling of the roll of counties by Frank Wilson and tho responses of the county chairmen. Baker was not tho only man In the Douglas delegation who felt the hand of the suppression machine. All night long J. L. Webster had labored with the powers to Induce them to agree to his set of resolutions, in which his well known Ideas about extension of terri tory were crystallized In his best style. Tho edict had gocn forth that Webster and his policy were not the proper thing. Brad Slaughter got In his mo tion and slipped the list of names Into the hands of tho temporary chairman and the thing was done. Webster was not only left off the committee on reso lutions, but the committee was fixed bo tight that ho could not even get a minority report before tho convention. The attempt was made, but the appeal was made to him not to let the public see all the dirty linen in the wash and he was forced to yield. JRWALLOW WITHOUT TA'STINO. Nothing of tho policy of the party or of tha declarations of principles In tho platform were dlscoursred in the con vention. It was fixed up In the meas ure suitable to the party and the con vention took it when told It would make them well. It was very bad to the tasto of some and even before strangers they could not all keep from showing how hard it was to swallow. The convention was unlucky In Its officers, or some of them, and the dreary speech of Temporary Chairman Conklln put them all in bad humor at the outset. When Judge Hayward came In to express his appreciation ot the honor the enthusiasm was not in creased by his singular method of do ing it, as when he said, "If any mistake Is made it is you and not I who must bear the responsibility," cold chills ran over tho backs of the nervous dele gates, who looked as If they were won dering how big a mistake they were making. Then A. E. Cody, the man who had been chased around by those having the nomination for treasurer in their possession, brought on his cold douche and completed the work of freezing tho last atom of enthusiasm out of the delegates. It was when Brad D. Slaughter read his resolutions. One ot these resolu tions declared that the convention re affirmed the declaration of principles enunciated in the St. Louis platform. Then in a distinct sentence It declared for "the present gold standard." CADY THINKS IT STRANGE. Cady suggested that there was an Incongruity there, as the St. Louis platform had declared for bimetallism if an international agreement could be obtained, and had further pledged the party to obtain that agreement if pos sible. That the party was committed to the declaration that bimetallism was a good thing if Europe Joined in with us. The convention sat in silence while Cady talked, and even Brad Slaughter could not defend his peculiar platform except to say it was a close copy of the Oregon resolutions. It all went, Just as every other thing pushed at the convention by the managers, and no voice of protest except Cady's was raised. Brad Slaughter had a pretty firm rein on the convention and drove It skillfully. How It All Happened. Lincoln, Neb. Special The delegates were slow in getting to the place of meeting, and It was half an hour past the time, 10 o'clock, when Chairman D. H. Mercer called the republican con vention to order In the Oliver theater Wednesday morning. ' ,, mXm)jm-?V)t .? rffltft'i Chairman Mercer spoko in a hopeful strain and sought to cheer the hearts of the delegates by predicting success In tho campaign. He attributed the disaster to the republican party last year to he few guilty ones who had be trayed the trust Imposed in them. One feeble handclap greeted this denunci ation of guilty republicans. The state ment that the ropubllcan criminals woro punished by republican courts gained more applause. He appealed to all republicans to stay In tho party and make It better and help to gain a victory which would gladden the heart of tho greatest president that ever sat In tho White house. A motion to make tho temporary or ganization permanent was made by H. C. Russell, but this did not meet with favor, and a motion by S. A. Scarlo that Senator John M. Thurston bo mado permanent chairman went with a whoop. Tho list of delegates as handed to tho secretary was made the list of dele gates of tho convention. Brad D. Slaughter Jumped In and moved that a committee on resolutions be appointed by tho chair, and this was adopted. Tho chair appointed Brad Slaughter of Lancaster, E. Roscwatcr of Douglas and -A. M. Post of Columbu3 at large, the others being Kennedy of Douglas, McPheelcy of Kearney, Weston of Gage, Penny of Lincoln, Richards ot Dodge and Tcfft of Cass. BOODLE ALREADY SCENTED. The one candidate who roused the delegates to lustiest shouts was Mur phy, and the part of his speech that woke them was his declaration that "the commander-in-chief of the army and navy was also the commander-in-chief of the Nebraska republicans," and he would have charge ot tho coming campaign. The picture was dazzling and the awakened imaginations of the workers saw another campaign "man aged" from Washington and tho big wads of campaign money dumped Into the state of Nebraska. Then they did shout. Senator Allen looked on at the per formance for a few minutes from a balcony scat. NOMINATIONS FOR GOVERNOR. At the call of Madison county Judge B. S. Banker was recognized and said: "It Is evident that the party Is sat isfied I can be mere useful on the bench than as governor, and I ask that the nomination be made unanimous." Senator Thurston Introduced Judgo Hayward as the next governor. HIMSELF NOT RESPONSIBLE. He said he was determined in tho outset that if nominated for this or any other office It would not be of his seek ing. "It Is your work. If a mistake Is mado It Is yours, not mine." Judge Hayward said he was sorry he could not nominate Judge Baker for the same or some other "fat" ofllce. He said the party stood on the St. Louis platform, which was the same now as then. He predicted success. Tho balance of the entire slate was nominated without a hitch and the republican machine is working Its wheels greased with eastern grease. Before the result was announced Brad D. Slaughter, chairman of the commlttcacn resolutions, presented tho report of the committee. Tha report was adopted, though A. E. Cady called attention to the apparent inconsistency of tho currency plank. Slaughter said it might not bo entirely consistent, but It was almost an exact copy of the Ore gon platform. THE PLATFORM. We, the republicans of Nebraska, In convention assembled, congratulate the people of the state upon the fulfillment of the pledges made at the national re publican convention at St. Louis. Our Industries have revived, our finances have been maintained, our national credit Is restored and every dollar is sued by the government is on a par with gold. Our laborers are employed, our manu facturing establishments have resumed operation, our mines aro being worked to their full capacity, the masses of the people are prosperous and are consum ing once more to the extent of their needs the products of the farm and the factory. We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the principles enunciated In the repub lican national platform of 1896. We are In favor of the maintenance ot the present gold standard and unalterably opposed to the free and unlimited coin age of silver. We favor the payment of our soldiers and sailors in the same irioney as is paid to the bondholders. We congratulate the nation upon the successful issue of the war with Spain, prosecuted under the direction of Wil liam McKlnley. commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, with the loyal support of brave volunteers on both land and sea. We emphasize our hearty approval of the wise foreign policy of President McKlnley and also of the terms de manded of Spain as the conditions of restored peace. We pledge, if restored to control of the state government, an honest and economical administration of public af fairs and the Introduction of strict business methods into all state Institu tions. We pledge the abolition of all unnec essary of insecure state ofTlces. We pledge a comprehensive revision of the revenue laws of the state with a view to a more equitable distribution of the tax burdens. We pledge legislation for state control and regulation ot public corporations In the Interest of all the people. We pledge the necessary steps toward a revision of the state constitution. We call attention to the sham re forms ot the triple allied fusion parties who have secured victory at the polls under false pretenses and whose pledges are proved by experience to be unreliable and utterly worthless. We invite the co-operation and sup port ot not only all who believe in re publican principles, but also of all who wish better government to the end that Nebraska may be no longer discredited by being classed among the states In subjection to populism. Chairman Slaughter prepared the fol lowing, which was adopted;-. "We send greeting to nil the officers and soldiers of-tn'S Nebraska volun teers, wherever they may be, and wish them a safe arid glorious return to thelr respectlve hefmes." X. a- THJHp WATCH iOUlt POCKETBOOKS, MEN. Tho Difference Between Republican Rnlo and tho "Domo-rop" Administration. Tho Tax-Payors Aro Directly interested In Keeping Up tho Good Work Begun When tho Ituscnls Were Turned Out. Lincoln, Aug. 15. Many millions of dollars In state taxes have been col lected from the people of Nebraska during her thirty-two years of state hood. Much of this money has un doubtedly been well spent, and no pat riotic citizen begrudges the portion he contributed toward good government; but, on the other hand, every taxpayer has a right to know that his contri bution to the common fund has been expended Judiciously and economically, and no good citizen can countenance gross mismanagement, wilful extrava gance and downright dishonesty In the expenditure of public money. Part ot these millions has not been well spent. Just how much, no man can tell; for In the very nature of things losses or gains cannot be computed after the fashion of the merchant. Ab Btractly, every dollar paid out for state government is a loss; but when proper ly expended, every dime of public mon ey brings dollars of good to the citi zens. What constitutes proper and Ju dicious expenditure is, of course, a question upon which good citizens may honestly differ; but it will be conceded that, in the transaction of state busi ness, nothing less than the same watch ful care one would give to his own private affairs can be considered good government. No one denies that the state should provide means for taking care of the insane, the incorrigible, the feeble minded, the destitute, and the criminal. Society demands, for its own good and safety, that such be done, and It would be useless to dwell further upon the sociological phase of the question. But who Is to say what is the necessary cost of maintaining these wards of the state? Who knows to a certainty what it should cost to maintain a convict at the penitentiary or an Insane person at the asylum? We can say nothing by way of answer, except to show what it has cost in the past There is no constitutional provision which reads that the cost of maintaining a felon at Lancaster shall not exceed CO cents per day; neither does the law state that an average cost ot 20.3 cents per day shall be the maximum; so the re publican party in 1878 paid 60 cents, and in 1S94 paid 41 cents, for what the populist party today gets at a cost of a trifle more than 20 cents. Let no man, however, fall into the error that the cheapest method of car ing for the state's unfortunate wards is always the best. Nothing less than the best of care, at the least possible cost consistent therewith, should be satisfactory to our citizens. With this idea always In mind, I may say that a comparison of records la the only way to Judge which political party has suown itself entitled to tne people's confidence; which has been incapable, extravagant and dishonest; and which has proven Itself to be capable, eco nomical and honest. The records aro the best evidence. It is Incontestable that the discipline in all state institutions was never bet ter than today; that the state's unfor tunate wardB are better fed, better clad, and in better health than ever before; that the utmost neatness and cleanliness Is everywhere apparent at each institution; and that all officers and employes are more courteous and obliging to all visitors than they were in the days of republican administra tion. So much for this phase of our comparison. From January 1, 1892, to May 31, 1898, a period of 2,343 days, the total cost to the taxpayers of Nebraska for main taining all state charitable and penal institutions was the sum of $2,648,910.39. The average nurober of Inmates in these institutions during this period was 2,338, thus showing an average per capita cost of $1,132.98 for the period, or, practically, 48 1-3 cents per day for each inmate. The average daily ex penditure for maintenance, it will be observed, was $1,130.13. The following table covers the time from January 1, 1892, to December 31, 1894, a period of 1,096 days, just pre ceding the Inauguration of Governor Holcomb: No. in- Total Pr Cap. Year. mates. Cost.

Dividing the total cost for three years by the number of days, shows the daily cos to have been $1,183.93; and this di vided by the number of inmates (2,142) will show a dally cost of nearly 55 1-3 cents per Inmate. This, however, was before the days of a reform adminis tration. The table below, covering the time from January 1, 1895, to November 30, 1896, is hardly fair to the fusion ad ministration, Inasmuch as it throws about three months of partial repub lican control into the period next fol lowing, but as the fiscal year was changed in 1896 to end each year there after on November 30, 1 have taken the figures as shown by reports on file. During this period of 700 days, Gov ernor Holcomb and his appointees were in control of part of the state Institu tions, and the republican board of public lands and buildings and. their appointees had control of the remain der.

Proceeding as before, wo find an av erage daily expenditure of $1,133.40, or more than $50 per diem less for main taining 332 more Inmates than in tho preceding period, or an average dally cost per Inmate of about 44 7-10 cents. Although republican control of a few of the state institutions continued dur ing tho month of December, 1897, 1 have not thought best to separate tho items, but rather to allow the period of 517 days, from December 1, 1896, to May 31, 1898, to stand as representlne tho work of a reform administration unhampered by republican barnacles.

Showing a cost of $1,019.83 ner diem for maintaining a dally average of 2,437 Inmates, or 41 8-10 cents per inmate per diem. Or, looking at it in another light, a total cost of $164.09 less each day for supporting 295 more Inmates than the republicans were able to do. The difference between .republican ways of mismanaging institutions and' populist economy might be figured out by some republican statistician as onlv 13 cents per day in the care and maintenance of each Inmate of a pub lic, charitable or penal institution, and he might hold up with ridicule that 13 cents and with withering sarcasm point to the stinginess and littleness of popu lists. But hold on, my friend; do you know how much that 13 cents means for the period we have been investigat ing? It means exactly $739,517.90. It means that the taxpayers of Nebraska would have paid out uselessly nearly $740,000 for republican extravagance and theft In a little less than bIx and a half years, if they had not Bhown their good sense in 1896 by making a com plete change in political servants. It means that the taxpayers did lose by republican mismanagement $316,930.331 during the years 1S92, 1893 and 1894. And It further means that the mag nificent sum of $369,165.69 has been sav ed to the taxpayers of Nebraska in tho one item alone of maintaining penal and charitable institutions, by Gov ernor Holcomb and his fellow executive officers and their appointees. Taxpayers, where will your rcte be counted In November? CHARLES Q. DE FRANCE. VISIT OUR BOYS. Governor Holcomb and General Barry in tho South. Chlckamauga Park, Ga. Special , Governor Holcomb and Adjutant Gen eral Barry arrived at the Second Ne braska's camp In the bright sunshine this forenoon, accompanied by Lieuten ant Colonel Emll Olson and escorted by Nebraska troop3 under the command ot Captain Culver of Grlgsby's Third vol unteer cavalry. Although the regiment was In the midst of a very strict inspection, the boys could not be restrained from show ing their appreciation for their honest governor and his brave old adjutant, whose honorable sears and empty sleeve are eloquent testimonials to his bravery and gallant services. As peal upon peal of applause fell from the lips of the boys in blue the distinguished visitors dismounted. Their escorts, lining up, were photographed and marched away. The governor and General Barry fell In line like true sol diers with the Inspecting officer and participated in its carrying out, which consumed the greater portion ot the day. In the afternoon the Nebraska offi cials went away and unheralded drop ped into the division hospital, where they passed from ward to ward looking up the suffering Nebraska boys, and in quired thoroughly into the various com plaints which have from time to time been made against that portion of the army. Finding none of the Second dan gerously sick and the surgeons making the best endeavor with limited force and thoroughly aroused to their duty by the number of complaints, they did not telegraph their deliberate criticisms, which will be written to Judge Stark, state military representative at Wash ington. Remounting, they rode back and re joined Colonel Olson and came on to the regimental parade grounds at the time when it was arranged that a regimental dress parade should be given. The reg iment was then presented and passed in review In columns of platoons, which gave them an opportunity to remark the wonderful Improvement which has taken place while the regiment has been converted Into soldiers. Major R. S. Wilcox, who has been the guest ot the Omaha Guards for two days, left today for home, accompa nied by his son, Ed, who goes home on sick furlough for thirty days. The major was royally received and enter tained by a camp vaudeville. A POYNTER STORY. (Will Maupln.) William A. Poynter, the fusion nom-1 l:ee for governor, Is a graduate of Uu-j reka college, Eureka, 111. This college U under the control of the Disciple or Christian church, and Is one of the best known colleges In the central west There are a number of Eureka grad uates !n Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas, and all of them will be glad to hear of the honor paid to their alma mater by the fusion forces of Nebraska. Tho students who attended Eureka abcr.t the time that Mr. Poynter was a student there and dancing .attendance on tho eld bell as it answered the com mand of Janitor Jones, will remember Aunt Sal'y, who lived near ths Chris tian church and kept boarders. Every student at Eureka college between 1S50 and 1873 knew and loved Aunt Sally, nr.'i many of them loved some of Aunt Sally's boarders. Aunt Sally's boarding houso was filled with about as Jolly a lot ol yrung folk ns ever attended school, and Will iam A. Poynter could, if he would tako time, Rll some funny stories ot that crowd. He, with a hundred of others, will remrmber Aunt Sally's clock. That clock was an old-fashioned af fair, long rendulum, weights and cords, and when It was wound it made a nolso like a thrtshlng machine. That ctoclc was wound promptly at 10 o'clock every night, and when it was wodU'l thins would be ar exodus from the parlcr?, the front porch and the la.wn. . Aunt Sally's girl bcarders knew that nt the first count! of that clock belnr wound It was t'.mo to bid their sweethearts good night for Aunt Sally, wlt'a cld fashloned cottons of propriety, and with a J.etn sense of the obligation laid upon her by tho parents of the girls, insisted that 10 o'clock was lata enough fir any loving swain to remain. That notice was never allowed to go un heeded but once. A young fellov came down from Peoria to attend collego and in time formed the acquaintance of seveial of Aunt Sally's girls. Ho was inclined to presume upon his city breeding and one Sunday evening he called upon ond of Aunt Sally'3 girls. Whtn Ifl o'clock came the gin heard the clock winding and told her callerl that Aurl Sally did not allow gentle men ca'.'trs to remain after 10. The Pecrla twcll opined that Aunt Sally was not his boss, and that ha would remain until 11. The girl tried to per suade him to leave, but he was ob durate. He was bound to show Aunt Sally who he was. Finally the girl said she wsuid have to leave him alone, and she dturted for the deer. Just as she reached it Aunt Sally vwi'.ked in. "You run on to your room, Sue," paid Aunt Sally; "I want to talk to this young man." Sue escaped from the room anl left Aunt Sally and the Peoria youth faco to face. No one knows what was said by Aunt Sally, but It must have been a good talk. The young fellow made a slighting remark about the good woman a few days later, and In less than a minute ho was tho wor.it whip ped Individual that ever crossed the borders of Woodford county. Ben Mc Gulre might be able to tell all about that tcrap in case Mr. Poynter has for gotten It. TRULY EMACULATE GALL. Thhe g. o. p. comes with -the blood it calls new, With Slaughter and Ager and all; Who present the old brands to the great public view With a truly Immaculate gall. With a truly Immaculate gall, Hoo-rool With a truly Immaculate gall.

For several years the custom was almost obsolete, but the hot weather that has prevailed dur ing this season has been an Inducement for Its revival, and now many of tho 400 visit the beach every day. Most of the wealthy cottagers have their own bath houses and little strips of beach along the shore on their own ground for their children and servants, but there Is a particular place for the swells to bathe, to which strangers are not admitted. The swells have also acquired the trolley habit, like the people around Boston, and one of the most popular forms of entertainment this year has been excursions over the electric road to Fall River.
