FOWLER of Washington The republican state convention was held in Lincoln on the 2nd. Chairman Tefft called the conven tion to order. L. P. Luddbn read the call to the convention for Secretary Pro Tern J. T. Mallalleu. Before the entire call was read the further reading was dis pensed. Chairman Tefft , in introducing the temporary chairman , complimented the republicans on the big attendance at the convention. He said it was his deliberate opinion that Nebraska was lepublican at that time. The great hall reminded him of an army with banners flying. He thought the mag nificent gathering was a portent of coming victory. The time was coming when the slime of disappointed dema gogues would be washed away , that the republican party would add an other great name to history. Mr. Tefft , in behalf of the state central committee , took some of the credit of the good condition of the state for the committee , as he said that was about all the credit the committee had. He was glad to know tnat there was such a remarkable Interest in republican success. v The central committee in accordance with its usual custom had selected a temporary chairman and "Mr. Tefft said it gave him great pleasure to intro duce George Jenkins of Falrhury for the place. Chairman Jenkins addressed the convention at some length , congrat ulating the republicans of Nebraska on the bi'Ight outlook for party as cendancy In this state. Elmer Stephenson nominated A. D. Gllmore of Nemaha and Alva Kcnnard of Lancaster as temporary secretaries and they were elected. The list of delegates submitted was declared the list of delegates. J. L. Webster moved the appoint ment of a committee of nine to pre paid a platform. This carried. Judge Baker of Omaha moved to make the temporary organization per manent. This carried unanimously. On motion of Judge Baker the con vention proceeded to business under the call. C. J. Greene of Omaha moved that the convention proceed to the election U&v of four delegates at large , such elec tion to be made by a- roll call , the call to be without nominating speeches , the four candidates receiving the highest number of votes , each receiv ing a majority of the votes of the con- vcntion , to be declared elected. The motion was sought to be amended by providing that no delegation be passed in tl'o roll call , but each county de clare its own vote as the name of the county is called. Roll cpll was taken on amendment , resulting in a motion abolishing the roll call and adopting the amendment. The motion as amended carried and roll call was ordered on delegates at large. The committee on platform was : J. ' L. Webster of Douglas ; S. C. Grey of Platte , P. F. Clark of Lancaster , A. F. I Cady of Howard , W. D. Tllton of Gairc. E. N. Allen of Furnas , E. M. Pollard of Cass , C. B. Letton of Jef ferson , W. D. Holbrook of Dodge. When the roll call on delegates at large was liad Adams county , the homo of Dietrich , led off by giving no votes for Thurston. Antelope county followed by giving him ten votes. When Thurston's name was mentioned thera were cheers and some hisses. As the vote proceeded Cass county created a sensation by skipping Thurs ton entirely with her twenty-four votes and placing them for Norrls Brown of Kearney. Clay county cast seventeen votes for Thurston , the entire - tire strength , and before casting the vote for the three other candidates a long consultation was necessary. H. C. Russell of Colfax In. announc ing the vote of his county said : "Seven votes for Rosewater , one of which Is myself , " at which there were howls of laughter. " Douglas county announced ninety- six votes for Brown , omitting Thurs- tcn , and the convention br.o.ke , loose with1 cheers from the antl-Thufgton men. Gage county threw-her whole thirty-four , votes to Thurston , leaving out Brown. HbwapL countyj caus \ a little ripple by neglecting Tnurstoh en tirely. Lancaster county gave ten votes to Thurston , these being taken from Erhardt's strength. The full fifty-eight votes went to Brown. Otoo county gave Thurston the full Btiength , while he secured only two votes out of Pawnee county. Rich ardson county gave her entire twenty- three votes to Th'irston. The vote of Washington county , announced by ex- Governor Crounse , was against Thurs ton emphatically. Wnynn county's ten \otes followed against Thurston. York county closed the i 11 call with twen- ty-ouo votes for Thurston , and the tension was relieved when It \ , i cer tain that Thurston would be victor ious , notwithstanding the fight made against him by Rosewater. When the result was announced the convention broke Into vociferous cheering. The result was as follows : Rosewater , 992 ; Thurston , GOD ; Brown , GOO ; Erhardt , 972 ; McClay , 9S3 ; Mandcrson , 72 ; Norval , 30 ; Mer- ce. % 1 ; Field , 9 ; Crounse , 1 ; Harrison , 1 ; Wells , 4 ; Lambertson , 5.

Raymond withdrew his name , as ho was a director of a national bank. C. B. Dempster withdrew because In terested in a national bank. H. C. Rus- ncll withdrew the name of M. D. Cam eron and transferred the support he represented to Mr. Nesblt. The rules were , suspended and the eight men remaining were declared nominated by acclamation. R. T.

" William Stucfcr of West Point was nominated for treasurer by acclama tion. tion.Charles Charles Wcston of Hay Springs was nominated for auditor by acclamation. I. F. Baxter said that on behalf of the united Douglas delegation he pre sented the name of Nelson C. Pratt for attorney general. J. H. Grimm of Saline said he be lieved in rewarding a county for Its good works and not for the dirt It had done. In behalf of Saline county he wanted to favor the nomination of F. N. Prout. Gage was a banner repub lican county and should have a can didate on the ticket. C. J. Greene of Omaha made a plea for Pratt's nomination. Douglas county was the storm center and was a fighting community politically. It was all right to live in a banner county , hut it was another thing to live in a county and starve. The vote went against Pratt and be fore the close of the ballot Pratt's name was withdrawn and Prout was unanimously nominated. . L. Richards of Hebron nomi nated George D. Folmer of Nuckolls county for land commissioner. He was nominated by acclamation. W. R. Hart of Phelps county and W. K. Fowler of Blair were named for su perintendent of public Instruction.

The state central committee was au thorized to fill all vacancies on the ticket or on the state central commit tee. This carried. C. L. Richards nominated II. C. Lindsay of Pawnee City as chairman of the state central committee. Sev. eral delegates said this selection should be left to the central conimit- tee and the nominees of the conven tion. The matter was left to the can didates on the state ticket alone. THE PLATFORM. Following is the report of the com mute * on resolutions , presented by Hon. John L. Webster of Douglas , and adopted without dissent : We , the republicans of Nebraska , are unlike our political adversaries , who In late convention held high carnival over Imaginary evils threatening our country , and adopted platforms which are a standing protest against prosper ity , grandeur and glory. We rejoice that wo nro citizens of a mighty na tion , whoso revenues ars larger thrm at any previous period In Its hiatorv. wh'te treasury Is overflowing with gold ; whoso agricultural Industries flourish as never before ; whose labor- rra arc more generally and continu ally employed at profitable wages ; uhose financial policy commands the confidence of the people nt hunto and stihiulates our trade with the nations abroad ; rvhose products from the Mrm and the mill , from the workshop and the factory arc a mountain of wealth ; whoso commerce In ltd J.tu- prii'lous strides has outdistanced all competitors ; whose achievements l.i peace and glorious victories In war aie without a parallel ; all these are living evidences that It Is fulfilling the des tiny for which It was crentecd and that democratic- protests cannot stay Its career. These and other equally meritorious considerations have endeared our hearts to our nation's worthy leader , William M"Klnlcy a president who has wisely dealt with new and untried questions , who has guided the ship of state with safety and security through unexplored channels and the troubled waters of agitated seas , and In each hour of danger given evidence of such masterly statesmanship that wo unhesitatingly endorse his magnifi cent administration and pledge our selves to secure to him the vote of Nebraska nt the November election. Wo point with pride to the remodel ing of our tariff laws , which have In creased our revenues and not Impeded trade ; which have opened the doors of mills and factories to the millions of American skilled mechanics and are returning to them the higher wages that are the Just recompense for their toll. toll.We We endorse the legislation that has strengthened our financial system and llrmly established the gold standard and made the American dollar so safe and secure that they arc kept busy chasing one another around the end less circle of business , too good to go Into hiding and too patriotic to steal abroad. In answer to the cry for the free and unlimited coinage of sliver and the claim that there is not gold enough ns a basis upon which to do the business of the country , the United States treasury puts In evidence the $120,000.000 In gold that has come to it within a year , and the $413,000,000 In gold now held within Its vaults , and the unexampled prosperity and meas ureless and limitless and countless financial transactions thus sustsined without seeming effort. To the army and navy , which so sig nally and suddenly humbled our en emy and honored themselves , and doubly honored our country and the cause of humanity for which they battled , we acknowledge our debt of gratitude. The republican party has always been ready to protect Its pro tectors and to defend Its defenders. While we are unalterably opposed to Imperialism and militarism as prac ticed by European nations , we arc willing to accept all the legitimate re sults of honorable warfare , and we as sume the burdens of governing and holding territory. We arc In favor of Increasing our navy to such strength and power as will make us secure from foreign aggression and the maintain ing of such an army as may be neces sary to quell Insurrection , establish peace and maintain good order In our Islands In the seas and protect the flag from Insult at home and abroad. But wo are opposed to a large standIng - Ing army In time of peace , relying on the national ardor of the people to meet any emergency with the volun teer soldiery , such as has for more than 100 yeais challenged the admira tion of the world. For the nation's defense , for the strengthening of the navy , for the en largement of our foreign markets , for the employment of American workingmen - men In the mines , forests , mills , fac tories and shipyards , and for the en hancement of the values of farm prod ucts , we favor such appropriate legis lation as shall make the seas give evi dence that American-built and Ameri can-owned and * merlcan-manned ships are carrying American foreign commerce to the four corners of the earth. Wo applaud the action of the ad ministration in securing to American merchantmen free access to trade with the Chinese empire , through the ports and harbors now held by foreign powers , as one of the greatest achieve ments of diplomacy. The republican party recognizes that legitimate business , fairly capitalized and honestly managed , has built up our industries at home , given the largest employment to labor at high est wages and enabled us successfully to compete with foreign countries In the markets of the world. But the re publican , now , as always , Is unalter ably opposed to all trusts and com binations having ior their purpose the stifling of competition and arbitrarily controlling the productions or fixing I/MUCH. > vu reiur 10 uie ract tnat all restrictive legislation in the national congress has been the product of the republican party , and wo demand In substance the following amendment to the constitution of the Uiiiv 'l States : Congress shall have the power in reg ulate and control any and all corpora tions , co-partnerships and Joint stock companies and to enact such laws as will prevent any and all combinations In restraint of production and trade , the formatlton of trusts and such other combinations of capital as operate to prevent free competition. We are not unmindful of local con ditions and state Interests. We are In favor of a reapportlonment of legis lative and congressional districts , to be based upon the census ot 1900 , that will accord fair and equal representa tion to the pcoplo in all sections of the state. state.We We earnestly recommend that con gress devote of the money now an nually expended In largo quantities for river and harbor Improvements to re claiming the arid lands of the west ; and to this end we urge our represent atives and senators to secure If pos sible appropriations for expenditures In Irrigation In the western part of our state. Wo favor the widest latitude of mu nicipal rule consistent with our sys tem of good government. Wo favor a revision of the constitution of the state to meet the demand of her growth as she enters the beginning of the twentieth century. Wo cheerfully pledge ourselves to the encouragement and protection of homo companies , home associations and homo societies engaged In provid ing Indemnity for loss of property , life and limb , BO that as far as reasonably may oe the money collected from the people shall remain with our people and ho Invested and expended for the use of our people. Wo Invlto and will heartily welcome the return to republican ranks of for mer members of the party and nil the patriotic citizens who may have been estranged by false allurements and In sincere and unkopt pledges , for the time has come when they can plainly sco and knowingly understand that they arc but the menial servants In the household of the democratic party. On this platform wo , the republicans of Nebraska , not dismayed by past de feat , hut thrlco armed by the Justice of our cause , will wage our political warfare - faro against all challengers , whether coming against us under the single banner of democrats or populists , or arrayed under the double standard of fnslonlats , and never quit the battle until victory shall be our reward. To the other states Nebraska senda her greetings from this , the center of a great and free republic , ns one of the great sisterhood of common wealths , linked together In a common and Immortal destiny.

Manning and Mr. Mapes for the place , and the dis trict not beine entirely represented In the convention , the election was re ferred back to the district for settle ment. The convention then adjourned. THURSTON TALKS. Just before the convention adjourn ed Senator Thurston , being called upon for a speech , said , In part : "Behold what a good and blessed thing It Is for brethren to dwell to gether In unity. ( Shout of amen from the audience. ) I believe harmony Is n great thing. I do not believe In the harmony of dictatorship , and I do' be lieve In the harmony of the will of the majority of the republican party. I said the same thing six years ago In a state convention , and have no occa sion now to repent of what was said on that memorable occasion. The wis dom of the majority Is safer than the wisdom of the minority. The decree of the party Is greater than the will of any living man. "Hero I will express my thanks for the honor conferred. I have never asked n. position at the hands of the party as a reward , and I have never asked an honor of the party as an earnest of future faithfulness to It. If I am over called upon to servo the re publican party the service shall ho given Just the same whether I have been defeated or the views I have rep resented have prevailed. I shall be here In the state after congress shall adjourn till election wherever It ahull be necessary to cause the election of the splendid ticket that has been put In the field today. I shall be here fol lowing up the republican flag , ready to walk with anybody under Its fold. " 1 am always ready to give up a personal feeling of discomfort for the good of the republican party. "I shall not weary this great con vention by giving a resume of the na tional Issues that confront us. The re publican party has brought prosperity back , has opened the factories , has kept the wheels of the country going , has brought plenty to the table of the many and has brought happiness to the American home. The republican party has strengthened the money of the nation and has reorganized the monetary system till the money of this country Is the best the world can &how. H Is already seeking avenues of Investment all over the land. "The republican party has made the American flag more than It ever meant before. Today wherever It floats the greatest potentate of all the earth Is tready to do It honor. The party has mot'every duty that has confronted It. The Philippine Islands came into the hands of this nation and the party undertook without llinch- Inir tlin nrnlilnni tlinr It wns inner nhln of all parties to perform , to bring lib erty , civilization and happiness to the now peoples. Wherever the American flag flies It Is honored. There It shall stay till It may bo hauled down In honor. " PICK-UPS FROM THE PRESS. A perfect network of underground tunnels Is proposed for Paris , which will rival Its famous sewers. Indian widows In Sltka go into mourning by painting the upper part of their faces black down to their mouths. The estimated cost of the projected memorial bridge across the Potomac at Washington is from ? 1,000,000 to $2- 000.000. Berlin has neventy public monuments ments , a large ? number In proportion to the alzo-'of tie city than that of any other European capital. In Germany and also In Holland slrlu are chosen In preference to young men In all employments In which they can be advantageously employed. The highest Prussian court has de cided that the American title of "doc tor" can not be used In Prussia with out a special permit from the govern ment. The Society for Ethical Culture &t a recent meeting In Munich discussed a plan for the establishment of public1 libraries and reading rooms fashioned after American models. The sum of $2,637,000 has been expended - ponded In New Jersey , making 410 miles of good roads. Massachusetts has spent $2,037,300 on 250 miles , which are as parted as any highways in Europe. Aid Given Farmers to Stamp Out In- fcotioua. A PREVENTIVE OF HOG CHOLERA United Stute * llnrrnu of Anl ml Industry CoopiTiitliiK With htuto Division * In. i > Important Work A Utllletln Denlliifr With Anltiinl DUiMNcs About to Ito LINCOLN , Neb. , May 7. The divis ion ot animal pathology ot the state university , In co-operation with the United States bureau of animal Indus try , has recently distributed to Ne braska farmers a largo quantity of blackleg vaccine for use as a preven tive of hog cholera. Reports received at UIP station from farmers and others who have used the vacclno Indicate that It 1ms reduced the mortality among hogs to a considerable extent and that absolute satisfaction luia been given In Ii9 per cent of the cases heard from. A special news bulletin Issued by the university shows that during the year 1S99 the division furnished blackleg vaccine to 203 applicants In fifty-six counties , the total number of doses bolng 23,250. Slnco the 1st of January the division has furnished the vac clno to 211 applicants In forty-seven counties , the numbot1 of doses aggregat ing 1G.OOO. In , the corresppndlng pe riod of 1899 twenty-three applicants re ceived l.GOO doses , or one-tenth ns much as the present treason. This greater demand for vacclno Is duo rather to an Increased 'knowledge of and confidence In the remedy than to an Increase In the prevalence of the disease. The records show that the calls have come from persons that used the vac clno last year and from their neigh bors. The station Is now preparing a bul letin which deals with this , subject In a popular way , giving the cause of the disease , symptoms , etc. , and a full dis cussion of the treatment by vaccina tion. tion.Tho The division of animal pathology Is making plans for the coming year's campaign against hog cholera. A num ber of different experiments will bo tried in an attempt to stamp out the disease. rolftoncd l > y ClileUon I'lo. FREMONT , Neb. . May 7 , Mrs. Orlssa , K. Bennett , wife of James Bon net , died after a short and -violent Ill ness. The physician In charge has de cided that her death was duo to pois oning , probably from eating chicken pie.

Doctors maintain that the fact that none of the others who ute at the same place that night were afflicted does not disprove that she may have contracted the evil effects In that man ner as chicken pic poisoning Is not un usual and cases quite similar to this one have been known.
