Republican State C'oaveatiea.
The republican State convention
which met at Omaha, on the 20th
in St., brought together lour huudrod
and twenty-eight delegntes, repre
senting every part of the state.
The convention was called to order
by Hon. J. W. Daws, chairman of
the state central committee.
Hon. J. S. Hascall, of Omaha, nom
inated N. R. Greggs, of Beatrice, for
temporary chairman. He was elect
ed. On motion of Hon. J. M. Thurston,
of Omaha, W. U. Michael and O. H.
Ballou were elected temporary sec
retaries. These nominations were
subsequently made permanent.
The credentials of the delegates
being in the hands of the state cen
tral committee, which after some
delay, made report to the convention,
showing what delegates were entitled
to seats in the convention and what
seats were contested.
The report of the committee on
credentials wa& adopted, leaving the
contested cases from Knox, Holt,
Lincoln and Buffalo to be decided by
the convention.
C. II Gere, of Lincoln, moved that
a commute of thirteen be appointed
on resolutions, one from each judicial
district and one from the state at
large. Adopted.
The report of the committee as to
the contests from Lincoln and Holt
counties was adopted.
The contested case from Buffalo
was taken up.
THE BUFFALO COUNTY CONTEST.
Mr. Hamar presented the contest
ants in Buffalo county. In the con
vention of 44 delegates, 28 were
uncontested. The contestee (Savidge)
who was among the contested del
egates, was the presiding officer; and
be decided that he and his delegates
were entitled to vote on the question
between us and that we were not:
Thereupon 16 uncontested delegates
retired, leaving 12. Each convention
heard their own case, and each elected
delegates to the state convention. A
majority of the uncontested dele
gates thus declared us entitled to seats
here; and it would seem that we wen
the party that should be seated. As
to the facts of the case, we have
affidavits showing that 30 illegal votes
were cast in the precincts for the
delegates of the other party. These
affidavits Mr. Hamar proceeded to
read.
Mr. Sam. L. Savidge, in reply, said
he would begin where the gentleman
left off; and be produced affidavits to
show that not only were 17 of the
21 alleged illegal voter?, but that four
of them voted for the Hantar delega
tion. The affidavits setting forth the
last fact created a good deal of mer
riment. In Kearney precinct where
there were 400 voters, we had three
judges and two clerks, and every
doubtful vote was challenged by one
party or the other, and the rule of the
law was strictly enforced, and we on
both sides accepted a3 final the de
cisions of the three judge?, two of
whom were for them and one for up.
In the county convention I decided
that only those should vote on organ
ization who were prima facie en
titled to seats, and no protest was
made; but one by one the minority
crept out and organized the Hamar
convention. That convention was
without a starting point except as a
bolt from our convention. Being
asked whether this contest had ap
peared in other conventions, Mr,
Savidge stated that they wre at the
congressional convention at Fremont,
and that he and his friends partici
pated with the 138 who voted for Mr.
Valeutine. This statement was re
ceived with a storm of applause,
while great hilarity followed tha fur
ther statement tnat the Hamar del
eiraterwere amonir thu seven who
nominated M. K. Turner.
The convention, by a large ma
jority, voted to adopt the report of
the executive committe, seating the
Savidge delegation.
THE KNOX COUNTY CONTEST.
The convention voted to give the
two sides thirty minutes to present
their case.
Mr. Bruce, for the contestants, said
that one year ago his seat was con
tested by some of the same gentlemen
who were now opposed to him. The
convention gave half-representation
to each side. The central committee
fell by lot to the other side. They
gave us but ten days in their call, but
we secured a majority of the seven
teen delegates in the county -convention.
Mr. Bruce went into an
extended explanation, rather confu
sing, of the oreurreuces in the pre
cincts, ten minutes additional time
being given. On account of the
evident prejudice of the chairman of
the convention, we withdrew and
elected our delegates to this conven
tion. Mr. Solomau Draper controverted
the several statements of Mr. Bruce
in a rather humorous manner, and
with great clearness.
The chairman announced the com
mittee on resolutions as follows t
C. H. Gere, of Lancaster, chairman;
B. S. Baker of Jefferson, C. E. Wig
gins of Gage, Church Howe of
Nemaha, H. TJ. Bushnell of Cass, C.

of Burt, J. H. Mickey of Polk, C. W.
Hyatt of Dodge, C. H. Tauncr of ,
O. B. Willard of Sherman, C. P.
Mathewson of Madison, J. Eberjy of
Stnnton.
Upon motion the convention ad
journed at 2:10 to 9 a. m.
The convention met pursuant to
adjournment and was called to order
by the chairmau who announced that
the Omaha glee club would sing a
song, and it sang "The Flag," sod the
club responded with "Old Shady,"
Mr. Pepoou, of Richardson, moved I
to proceed to ballot for governor by
call of counties.
T. P. Kennard, of Lancaster moved
to amend to vote by ballot.
Seth Mobley, of Hall, opposed the
amendment.
Kenuard's amendment was lost,
and the original motion was carried.
On motion, the chair appointed two
tellers J. M. Hyatt, of Harlan, and
B. D. Slaughter, of Nance.
Mr. Charles Tanner, of Adams,
moved ihat the committee on res
olutions report before nominations
were made, so that the convention
could have a platform. The motion
was declared out of order.
The convention then proceeded to
nominate state officers which re
sulted as follows: Hon. J. W. Dawes,
for governor ; A. W. Agee, for lieu
tenant governor; Ed. P. Roggen, for
secretary of state; John Wallichs,
for auditor; Glen. Kendall, for com
missioner of public lands and build
ings ; W. W. W. Jonep, superinten
tendent of public instruction ; L.
Clark, for state treasurer; Mr.
Power, for attorney general ; and C.
H. Grre, for regent of the state
university.
The report of tha committee on
resolutions was then prfsipted as
follows:
Mr. President; Your omaiMtc
on resolutions respectfully report .the
following declaration of principles 1
as the platform of the republican
party of Nebraska;
Resolved, That the republicans of
Nebraska in convention assembled
taod by the fundamental principles
of the republican party a enunciated
in an unbroken line of national and
stale platiurms, the chief of which
are tree Itibor, tree speech, the right
ot every qualified citizen to vote once
at every 'election, under the restric
tion of just and equitable election
laws ; free, non-sectarian schools ; a
sound currency on a specie basis,
under national control ; the raising of
national revenues by taxation of
luxuries and articles of consumption
not essential to the comfort and well
being of the people and from a tariff
on imports so adjusted as to protect
the investment of capital in home
industries; and legislative control of
corporations.
Resolved, That ve uphold and
maintain the enforcement by well
considered legislation of the change
in our great organic law that pro
hibits unjust discrimination and ex
tortion by railroad corporations,
while we recognize the importance of
fostering and protecting them as
necessary factors in our progress and
prosperity ; and that we look to the
hon sty and courage of the people in
their political capacity to repel en
croachments of corporate power upon
the rights and principles of citizens
cd the one hand, and on the other to
deal justly and fairly with all prop
erty interests under whatever name
or form, without unjust discrimination
or extortion in the matter of levying
taxes, or regulating prices of com
modities or charges for services.
Resolved, That the policy of the
state board of lands and buildings,
favoring the leasing for terms of
years of our school, university, and
agricultural college lands, at a fair
I rental, in pre:erence to selling the
bkiiii.' turner iuc upiiuu given uy itv,
meets with our approval, as the best
possible method of preserving the
heritage ot our children, and pro
viding regular and ever increasing
revenues for educational purposes.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the nomination of A. J. Weaver in
the Fit-fit, and E K. Valentine in the
Third congressional districts by the
regular repuhtiran conventions, and
exhort all good republicans in their
respective districts to support tht-tn
with voice and vote. C H. Gere.
A delegate moved (his name is not
reported iu the Republican), to strike
from the platform the last clause ol
the last resolution, that namely which
referred to the endorsement of Valen
tine as the regular republican nomi
nee lor congress in the third district.
The amendment received a considera
ble vote but not enough to carry it,
ant) the platform was adopted with
out further attempt to change it.
The state central committee was
appointed with G. W. E. Dorsey,
chairman. Platte and Colfax coun
ties are represented on the committee
by A. E. Cady.
Tns headquarters of the republican
state central committee are for the
next two days at room 10, Millard
hotel. Delegates are requested to
hand their credentials to Jas. W.
Dawes, chairman, at as early an honr
on Wednesday as possible. Repub
lican. When Lorenzo Crounse as chairman
of tha republican congressional com
mittee of the Third district gave a
similar notice, the Omaha Republican
deuounced the request as an outrage
and unprecedented because Mr.
Crouse was an avowed candidate for
office before the convention. And
why now doesp't the Republican re
buke James W. Dawes for daring to
demand of delegates known to be op
posed to his candidacy, that they de
liver to him their credentials? Is not
such a demand plain proof that he in
tends to tamper with their papers?
Isn't it as raucbvf an outrage as Mr.
Crounse's request which was couched
in exactly the same language? Or
does it make such a mighty difference
whose ox Is gored that what is a crime
in one chairman becomes a praise
worthy and perfectly correct thjng to
do in another? Bee.
That there is a strong opposition
to Mr. Valentine, headed by Senator
Van Wyck, Leander Gerrard, and
others is a fact. Facts are stubborn.
The gentlemen, life long republicans,
assert their reason for opposing Mr.
Valeutine to be his favoritism to the
Union Pacific Railroad in opposition
to a fsrge portion of his constituency
who claim thpy are oppressed by it.
Charges of a personal nature against
a candidate as to his habits, asucja-
tiopt, etc , are great in themselves,
but small eousjderations compared to
the charge of beiug (up fooi of a
great corporation which deals unjust
ly with the people who send Mr.
Valentine to Congress to represent
their interests. Mr. Valentine will
we doubt not, answer these charges
in public durtoz the coming cam
paign which promises to be upusually
interesting, and if he can satisfy the
people that the charge is unjust their
verdict should be in his favor. Bur

Correspondence of the Bee.
Genoa, Nance Co., Neb., Sept. 18
I notice in ihr.JJee that M. K Turner,
of Platte county, has been nominated
by the republicans of the third con
gressional district. I mean independ
ent republicans who feel free from
slavish dependence on Valentine :md
his vassals and political tools. That
there is that freedom from bos3ism
manifested by any considerable num
ber of the voters, and a determination
to unite in supporting a sound repub
lican candidate, one free from the
corrupting and vicious influences that
surround and control the opposing
candidate and his factious partisans,
is really encouraging as an evidence
of the advancement of the people in
intelligence and independence, moral
courage and fidelity to sound prin
ciples. Nebraska has been weighed down
ever since her organization as a state
by a large iuflux of political adven
turers who came to the state to make
their fortunes by office, politics and
jobbery of whatever kind could be
made available for their purpose; and
many of them have been but too suc
cessful iu their schemes through the
tolerance or unwatchfulness of the
people. But within the past few
years a large accession to the popula
tion and votes has taken place, and
with that iucrease a material iucrcase
of wealth, intelligence aad independ
ence; independence of political
schemes and railroad domination. It
would, therefore, seem au auspicious
time to show such schemers and po
litical tricksters as Valentine and his
subservient followers, that they can
not control this district for their own
special aggrandizement against the
public interest aud welfare.
That he and his office-seeking and
paid politicians aud tools will resort
to all kinds of corrupt and unworthy
means to secure success, no intelligent
person will doubt. Doublets all
mauuer of vindicative prescription,
intolerance, misrepresentation, glar
ing falsehood and slander will be
bronght into requisition by them to
deceive, intimidate and bulldoze the
hesitating, timid or time-serving
papers and voters in his support. For
these are the means invariably resort
ed to by officeholders ot his class to
retain office and power, and of aspi
rants who attach themselves to his
fortunes with the prospective hope of
political gain; or which is about
equally potent with small editors aud
politicians tree passes on railroads.
But with men of intelligence, sound
principles and independent minds
such pernicious and degrading means
to subsidize or overreach the voters
will have but little weight or influence.
I resolved several years ago that 1
would not knowingly and willfully
vote for corrupt, i:nmora!-or incapa
ble men for office, and I pee no good
reason why I should change ray reso
lution becaupe I have become a citizen
of Nebraska, and consequently during
the same year that I have lived in the
state I have not voted for a candidate
for congress, but I am glad of the op
portunity to vote for a candidate
worthy of the office and the support
of the republicans of this district.
Cylde.
l?lrJ of a. Feulher.
The editor of this paper attended
the convention held at the opera house
in tht6 city September 7th, at which
place and time E. K. Valentiue was
nominated for congress. He was
theFO when it was called to order aud
was present until after it adjourned.
His excuse for remaining was simply
to get a report of the proceedings. He
was not faithful iu this the proceed
ings published last week in the Trib
une did not embrace all that occurred
there. Speeches were made by Geo.
II. Roberts, ex-attorney general ; Col
lins, of Buffalo county ; Muj.Clarkson,
of Colfax county, and many lesser
lights who did not go onto the stage
to .emit their foul and nauseous
vaporing.
Numerous persons have said those
speeches should be printed in order
that the men who were guilty of such
foul-mouthed language would be set
before the public in their proper light.
This could not be done except incur
ring the liability of a heavy fine for
publishing and circulating obscene
literature. It is a ead commentary on
the reppblfcgn party that such a lot of
men should lay claim to being repre
sentatives of its doctrines. To an
outsider it would appear, from the
unanimity with which these stingers
of billingsgate responded when they
were called upon, that the whole
country had contributed a full quota
of bumiuers tp fjll up the Valeutine
camp. t is a fact that there were
many sincere and mora) men P that
convention, but a very large nuniper
of them became heartily disgusted
with the disgraceful proceeding and
withdrew before the adjournment.
If Mr. Valentine himself is the man
his bosom friends would have others
believe him to be, he would have sur
preesed syph ungentlemanly actions
as were indulged in, but no visible
attempts were made and it san.fl9 as a
detriment to his cause and a disgrace
to civilization. Fremont Tribune.
The Lincoln Journal claims that
the Lancaster county delegation pup
ported Pawea's nomination for gov
ernor becausa his '.'friendly offices on
numerous occasions have been at the
service of Lancaster's interests when
in Jeopardy." Also something similar

The Convention occurs at a time o'.
unusual interest. Whether suffrage

determined the 8th day of November,

In face of this fact it behooves ail

which involves the highest political
and moral interests of the young

All Suffrage Sccieties everywhere

most welcome. Such contributions
are urgently needed to pay for the
printing aud distribution of suffrage
literature, which should, during the

traveling expenses of speakers who
will generously give their time to the
Nebraska work. All contributions

old friend, John Eusden, entered the
matrimonial state, and took for better
or worse (we hope not worse), a
worthy lady resident of Columbus,
one Mrs. Henrietta Kopp. The mar

Groom's residence-near Lost Creek,
by the worthy Judge Higgins who
for the first time in his official capacity
of Probate Judge left the precincts of
his ffice for an occasion of this
kind.
Many friends witnessed the cere
mony, when the youthful bride and
groom received the congratulations
of those assembled, and departed east

stable refused to leave his post though
the stable was on fire. His remain?,
bearing evidence that he died in feai
ful agony, were found at the entrance
to the stalls. There he had stood
watch over the horses that perished

the fact that the dog was uot chained
