The democrats held their state coa veaUoo, adoptiag their platform aad aomiaaUag their ticket, last week ia Lincoln aad as usual with a demo crati: convention, it did the wrong thing at the right time. But that need not disappoint anybody, because they would aot be the great democratic prty, with' a jackass as a party emb lem, if the rale were otherwise. Ma Nebraska there are aot enough democrats to elect aaybody to a state ofke and that being the case in order to have any show to wia the indepen dent element of voters would have to be secured fur the democratic ticket. That could aot be done by aay such convention acts as was done. That convention could not tarn dowa George W; Berge aad nominate A. C. Shallenberger and hope to secure the independent vote for the democratic ticket, because the first act was to show their boarbon rump and it was shown in great style. Scuyler Free Lance.

Chris Graeather is the democrat whe whipped Edgar Howard in the last Platte couaty democratic conven tion by a vote of 108 to 20. Chris Grueather fouad out that the raak aad file of Platte couaty demo crats wanted Berge by writing 250 letters to them aad asking them to state their preference for governor. Oat of the two hundred and fifty, 237 declared for Berge and 10 declared for a atrtaight democrat. Oa the theory that these "ten" con stituted the ' democracy of Platte couaty, Edgar Howard, after pledg ing hw support to Berge through his aewspaper, went to the democratic politicians of Nebraska and declared that Gruenther secured Platte county for Berge through a "trick" and that the "rank and file" were really for a "straight democrat" After his stato ssentwas given circulation through the Omaha Bee und otherwise, he pro ceeded to write articles favorable to Shallenberger. By these methods, Edgar Howard did more than any other democrat in Nebraska to secure the nomination of Shallenberger and the defeat of Berge. If the democrats of Platte county want to prove that Howard was right and Gruenther wrong they will vote .for Shallenberger and thereby, prove to the democracy of Nebraska that Chris Gruenther and John Byrnes and Hans Elliott and a few other leaders "tricked" the democrats of Platte county-into supporting Berge. If the democrats of Platte county agree with Chris Gruenther, they will prove that Edgar Howard told an un truth when he declared that Chris Gruenther had "tricked" Platte county democrats to the support of Berge, by taming down Howard's candidate, Shallenberger. If Chris Gruenther was right when he wrote the Usee quoted above, -'the only way to elect Shalleabereer is to "explaia away" the defeat of George W. Berge which has "humiliated" the democratic parly in Bryaa's own state. , It reauuas to be sees whether the democrats of Platte county will vindi cate Edgar Howard or Chris Gruen ther. No candidates so far have announc ed themseelves for float represeatative or state senator from Platte ' county. Nance coaaty is entitled to a candidate for represeatative aad it is Colfax couaty's turn to aame -the senator. Whether or aot Calfax and Nance will insist upon exercising their rights ia this matter remains, to be seen. Platte couaty republicaas .however, will ihisjat that men be aamed for these offices who have no railroad re cords or afiliatioBS to explain away. No republics who opposed the iatro efection of aatipaas .aad rate-regula-tioa resolutions ia the Platte county republicaa coBventioa, can expect aupport for' a legislative office from 'those republicaas who favored the program that was adopted by the re publican state convention. " No shams or eleveaih-hour coaversioas will go this fall. Aad so far as the Journal is coBceraed, while having no person-, al quarrel with the republicans who. honestly opposed the Sheldon pro gram ia the coaaty convention, it will oppose both the Boauaatioa and elec- tioa.of any maa to the legislature, who has not been on the Sheldoa platform at least long enough to find room.

' .- Long editorials' and hwtr Kch are aot required to explain the work of the last' republican state onven tioa. It was a victory for the nuisses. That is the whole story. The platform adopted -is concise and strong. But there will be little discussion of platforms this year. As a matter of fact there are no party issues in Nebraska, this. year. There are no differences among the taxpayers on state politics. Repub I licans.and democrats want the same things. They know exactly what they waat and will be satisfied by no shams or makeshifts. It has been a question of the people against 'the bosses in both parties. At the demo". cratic convention the bosses won out by defeating Berge. At the repub lican state convention the masses won out by nominating Sheldon and de feating Galusha. It only remains for the masses of Nebraska to register their approval of the work of the re publican convention by electing the republican ticket by' an overwhel ming majority! ,' When the democratic party turned down Berge at Lincoln it divorced 20,000 independent democratic and populist votes in Nebraska, the same votes that Parker's victory over Bryan divorced two years ago - When the republican party nomin ated George L. Sheldon it named a man who' is entitled to every vote that went to Theodore Roosevelt two years ago. All Nebraska republicans are ju bilant and they have .cause to be. Dr. C. D. Evans , secured 23 votes for United States Senator in thesiate convention. This vote compares fa vorably with the vote cast for Meikle john, Crounse and Currie, from which fact Dr. Evans finds cause for self-congratulation. As" the Journal goes to press it is announced. on what seems good au thority that Frank Wurdeman will be a candidate for the nomination for float representative. aaannanaftftnnnanaa PERSONAL aid PERTINENT .
