E. : J. Burkctt for United States senator , lIon. John L. Webster for vice president and the nomination of the state ticket named above. The convention was without incident to mar the tranquility of the proceedings. The big gath- ering of enthusiastic republicans was called to order by Chairman Lindsay who introduced Howard I -J Baldridge as temporary chairman. , . - \ l\Ir. Baldridge made a forcible i , . address , after wInch the permanent - ncnt organizating ( was effected by ' \ the election of W. M. Robertson chairman ; Chas. McDonald secretary - retary ; \ . . B. Allen assistant secretary - retary ; ; Ind L. P. Ludden reading clerk. 'l'he first action was the endorsement of Hon. E. J. Bur- kett for United States scnator. , , This was done unanimously by acclamation. : Mr. Burkett thanked - ed the convention in a brief ad- dress. The nomination of the state ticket proved an easy mat- ter. There was practically 110 , 'j .JJ'J' ! . " v D. d . Stella , the infant laughter of Mr. : and Mrs. 1-1. R.

One very especially gratifying thing that the convention did was to select C. B. Dempster of Beatrice tv be one of thc dcle- gatcs-at-large to the national convcntion. Republicans in this part of the state are more or less familiar with the nature of the fight that was made on 1\11' Dcmpster , and a great majority of the republicans will rejoice over his vindication. There has probably never been a state convention at which Rich- ardson county exerted a greater influence than at thc one held edncsday. Dodge , Gage and Richardson counties were the originators of the combination which selected all four of the delegates to the national convention , as well as all of the state officers , with am- ple provisions being made for , Mr. Mill cr. There is not a candidate who has not expressed his gratitude to the Richardson county delegation - tion , and there never was a ticket which commends itself to the vo- ters more than the one which was nominated , this week. The orld-H.erald in speaking oi the convention says : "The Burlington machine lead- ers , prominent among whom were Collector Stephenson , J. 1-1. Agel' and Supt. Bigncll went down in hopeless defeat , being mercilessly trounced by a combination in which Congressman Burkett and Postmaster Sizcr , his political manager played an inconspicuous but none the less important part. The victors were lead by Ross Hammonc1 of Paige , C. B. Demp- ster and Samuel Rinaker of Gage and C. F. Reavis of Richardson. " A. R. Keim and Frank Martin were present doing all in their power to defeat the wishes of the republicans of this county and to deprive A'Ir. Miller of the object of his ambitions. Marriage Record.
