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

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 ,

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

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.

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.

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. "

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.

pie. Mrs. Bfjnnot was first taken with
violent vomiting lUs , and the doctor
who was called In saw symptoms of.
poisoning. She had boon to a church
atippor and eaten heartily of chicken
pie. Doctors maintain that the fact
that none of the others who ute at the

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.
