Wish to know why the Royal Baking Powder Company withhold from
the Public the simple intelligence thnt their Powker contains
AMMONIA.
Eminent Physicians and Chemists
SAY THAT
Ammonia is a Dangerous Drug
in nuy human diet. Its use in food is an oU'ense to nature.
Tartrato of Limo is found in all Cream of Tartar. It is n natural product , of
vegetable origin , derived from the winos which produces dream of Tartar. It is a
constituent of tlio grape , as well as ether fruits.
Tlio idea that Tartrato of Limo can bo converted into llmo at the temperature
of the oven is the rankest nonsense , and could only originate in the brain of OIIQ
totally devoid of chemical knowledge. The "Royal" contains it. It has no injur
ious action upon the system.
The crying of "Llmo" in the way the Royal Baking Powder Company do , is
another trick to extricate themselves from the use of the powerful drug Ammonia
in their powder ,
DO ETOT TAKE OUR , WORD FOR IT
Every housekeeper can provo the truth of our statnmonts by placing a can of
the "Royal" top down on a hot atovo until heated , then remove the cover , and
nnd smell "AMMONIA. " This test will show that the "Royal" contains AM
MONIA ; that DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER docs not contain
Ammonia , The strength of our powder can bo proven by the consumoro1 reliable
test.
The Test of the Oven.
r DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER la superior to the "Royal. " It
contains no Ammonia. The "Royal" contains Ammonia. The use of Ammonia in
articles of food I believe to bo injurious. EL1AS H.BARTLEY , B. S. , M. D. ,

Yestenlny's Proceedings ,
The republican state convention assembled
bled at Boyd's opora.houso at 11 a. in.
yesterday , the rain operating as a dampc
and causing an hour's delay in the pro
codlings.
A noteworthy fact was the absence o
old-time politicians , and the presence o
many now faces. All morning long tin
olllccs and corridors of tlio hotels won
crowded , and there was no little lobbying
oing on. While no great onthusiasn
was manifested , each candidate Imd hti
workers , who were busy looking after tin
interests of their favorites.
The delegates began to gather a' '
Lloyd's opera house at 10 o'clock , and ii

jection but was finally adopted in accord
ance with the decision of the republican
national convention.
A motion was made by Mr. Fred Nye
to appoint a committee of seven on plat
form and was followed by loud calls for
Mr. Gere , who made a short but spicy
address in which ho said the ticket put
up by the republican party this year was
ono that would insure tlio old majority of
150,000 rightfully belonging to the parly
in this state. Thonamo of James G. Blaine
was received with great applauso. The
chairman cogratulatod the convention on
the suspicious circumstances surrounding
the party campaign both innido and out-
aldo thu atato. lilaino and Logan , ho
said , wore gaining ground every day and
there is no question but that they will
carry every state north of Mason and
Dlxon's line and at least two of the
southern states. [ Applause. ]
lion. Pat O. Uawco Inquired if the
report of the oxccutivo committee on the
Knox county contest was adopted. The
chairman replied that it was not.
Mr. Ilawos proceeded to makoanpeech
but was called to order by Mr. Nye , who
renewed his motion for the Appointment
of a committee of seven on platform.
Mr. Valentino movoct that twenty
minutes bo granted to each si do of the
contesting delegation from Knox county ,
to present their case , which was finally
amended so as io ullow thirty minutes to
each party with the privilege of an ex

The chairman otatcd that it was
"a question of allowing the tipcakora [
twenty minutes or half an hour. "

The Knuf- county contest was now taken -
ken up and argued by Mr. n. 0. Brorno
for the John N. Lytlo delegation and Mr.
Draper for the Draper delegation. The
ucstion wan one of no interest to thn
t
general public but occupied the time of
the convention until afternoon , and BOV- (
oral times the verbal sparring match bo *
name quite exciting , and elicited laughter
ind applause.
Mr , Brown , of L-uicastor , moved that
the Draper dolocution bo admitted , and :
lawos , of Douglas , amended by substi- :
uting the words "Lytlo delegation" for

CMOOSI.NO A OOVKIUiOU.
Judge Morris , of Saline , placed Gov
ernor Dawos in nomination for a second

course followed by the chief oxccutivo
during his first term warranted the as
sertion that ho would receive the unani
mous support of his party.
The nomination was heartily and elo
quently indorsed by Hon. George W. E.
Dnrsoy , and also by Judge Uascall , both
Hontlomon asking that the nomination bo

explained that Mr. Clarke's candidacy

friends had forced him to the front under
a misapprehension of the tacts.
Gov. Dawos was ronomlnatcd by accla-
illation and addressed the convention at

of the honor conferred on him. llu had
appreciated the responsibility of
ho trust imposed on him
Lwo years ago ; had had an idea and stood
jy it and had always hold the good name
and honor of our atato as not loss snored
, lmn his own. Ho renewed his former
.ilodgos nnd promised if elected that there
should bo no cause of regret to the party
that elected him. The national politics
were referred to nnd the mission of the
republican party as still claiming their
'urthor services for the future. The people
lover failed tn give it a ratu of confi
dence and will do so in the campaign of
-88-1 whoso result the natural

quoncos of the theory of the survival of

other aspirant to the oflico Mr. Roggon

not in the houqe BO the convention did
not got any speech from him.
STATE TKEASUKEU.
When this ollico was reached It ap
peared as if it would go begging for want
of a candidate , as it was aomo minutes
before any nominations were mado. They
soon came thick enough.
Hon. Ohas H. Willard. of Thayer , and
Hon. Win. B. Robert , of Burt , were pre
sented , the latter as the person
upon whom had rightfully fallen
the mantle ot the late Hon.
and lamented W. B. White of Tokamah ,
whoso claim to the oflico , had ho lived ,
would not have boon disputed. W. A.
Wilson of Sherman county and Hon ,
Charles L. Lamb of Stanton were in turn

1'omblin. Willard waa seconded from b

Jluy , holding that ho reprosuntod the )

lar oflica had always boon conceded them ,
Quito a discussion aroao and words
waxed warm on the question *
A delegate inquired of Grbaahans if ho

io waa a Russian , ,
Church IIowo wanted to give him the .
Dllico anyhow , and give the Germans
iomolliiriK else.
Fred. Nye wanted to know if the Gor
man papers proposed to support Blaine ,
but only got onu German editor to say.

the fold by giving them an oflico.
Thurston , of Dougloa , nominated
Jharles F. Walther. Ho made quite a
ipooch , and repudiated the idea that the '
Gorman vote had to bo purchased with
in oflico. Neither the Scandinavians
ior the Irish had ever had n place on thn
ickot , yet they did not bolt. Ho al-
udod to a very comical election in the
Phlrd ward which resulted from trying
o give all nationalities a show. In that
.hoy elected a Gorman , an Irishman , a
Scandinavian , a colored man and last of
ill Col. Frank Hanlon. Ho also alluded
.o the factorial feeling between the north
md south Platte country and wanted to
ice it all done away with ,

ing the country. The soldier , ho said ,

honors of ollice , and ho seconded the

accurately , Mr. Tate was frequently in
terrupted by cheora and when h'o had
