wbich they represent , study the plat
forms of principles enunciated by their
conventions , and when you ha\o \ done all
this I am sure you will not go wrong.
I \\i\\o \ \ been n republican in the ranks all
these years , casting my lirst vote for that
great uptnln , UlssesS. ) Giant. In this con
tent volia\othcsitneold dcinociatic party as
our antagonist. It is the party tint opposed
the public school svstein , the homestead law
mid pension legislation. It is the party
which has been and is now ten years behind
the times. Ttmt party In this state today
has a ury faint liopo of suc
cess. J will tell you how by villl
fjliip the fair tiamp of the state ,
by appealing to the passions and prejudices o
the pcaple , by magnifying the misfortunes
and close times \\o \\n\a \ \ encomiteied , byniul-
tiplylnif our 1111 ? and creating dissatisfaction
among tbo people. They have aiUertised the
state to the world at laige as being poverty
striken , that fnrnii are mortfratjcd for more
than actual value , that our taxes are higher
than In adjoin in ? states In short , that no
ono can como hero anil hope to prosper And
for what purpose ! That democrats may bo
elected to olllce.
There is one question n non-pirtisan one
which many of our people consider of
pamiiiouiit Importance. I lefer to the pro
hibitory amendment. Our democrutic
friends seem to think it would help their
cause to have mo publicly define myself
on that question , AVcro 1 to do so ,
they would herald It over tills
iiroud state that the republican party
is committed thereby. My republican
friends hero and elsewhere , both those who
favor and these who onposo the amendment ,
thoroughly understand my position on tlie
question , and I would ha-\o no hesitancy In
publicly declaring that position wcio it not
for the fnct that such declaration -\\ouldbj
constmed by many ns nn attempt by
mo to commit the party on the question after
that organization had. by common consent ,
In convention assembled , omitted It from Us
platform. Any declaration by mo at this
time would bo considered as an addition to
the platform , which was mode prior
to the nomination , If tlio platform
wns good enough to accept the nomination on ,
it is good enough to RO before the people on.
It seems nnivisofor my republican friends to
expect mo lo assume a icsponsiblllty to speak
for the party , especially after the coinentlon
had nn opportunity to consider it and refused
to tnako ill party issue. If elected , the people
ple liavo aright to \pcct and demand of no

It "Will Kntl In Victory After n Clcnr
nnil Open I'lgUt ,
Hon. .Telia C. U'atson , chairman ol the re
publican state central committee , spoke , in
substance , as follows :
Thfl republican party of the state of J 'e-
bmska tonight enters upon Its thirteenth
gubernatorial campaign. In round numbers
It is a quaiter of n century since the party
was formed in Nebraska , and this meeting Is
In the nature of the party's silver veddinp ,
for at the end of Governor LJ , D. Richard s
llrsttermlt will bo about the twenty-tilth
nnnhcrsnry of the admission of Nebraska as
n state iu tno union. The party as then or-
gaulzcd entered upon Its ilrst state campaign ,
from which it emerged triumphant. la each
successive year hiuo Nebraska republicans
followed Its party standard to Uctory.
Twelve times has Nebraska elected a re
publican governor ; tuclve times has
it declared lor the republican
Judiciary i six times lias It cast
Its electoral vote for the republlcon presiden
tial candidate. Though other states- Ohio ,
Pennsylvania , Indiana , Illinois. Kansas ,
Mns'achusetts , oven Igwa-havo - metiincs
faltered nn.l failed. Nebraska never. Our
colors , thanks to the courage and consist
ency ot our leaders and thobrmcrv and
patriotic leadership of our rank and file , " have
never been lowered. Tlie order to retreat
has never been heard along our line , but after
each political Kittle wo have occupied tlio
field fronnvhich the enemy hna lied.
.Twenty three years ago the republican
party of Nebraska took possession of the
stnto government , and well anil worthily has
It discharged its trusts and ministered totho
progress and prosperity of the state. The
iHirty took it ns a state of 50,000 population ;
it holds It todiy nn empire commonwealth
with more than a million inhabitants. The
party cnmo into power when the equal
ized vnluo"of taxable propertv In Its
twenty-eight counties was 19,000,000 , ;
It bohls it today when the taxable -utultli of
Its ninety counties foots up $ iSO.OOO.WO. The
part ) has governed the state uouestlv and
well , It found It In debt KOO.OOO. Today it
is out of debt , something that can not bo silcl
of any state with an alliance or prohibi
tion or a deraocratla governor. It has been
the party aim In the administration of the
V Btato gournnicat to subserve tbo nubile
good and to maintain untarnished the
credit tmd high character ef Iho
btate ; to promote economy in every depart
ment , ana In ull respects to be faithful and
true In tlio tradition ] and principles which
have gou'rnoJ this country for the last
twenty-three years , It has gene on from
proiporlty to prosperity , until today in all
n thocloincuts of good government it will com-
aw favorably with any t te In the union.
In short , aftertwcnty-thrcoyears of rule , the
republican party of Nebraska stands before
the people of the state ready to render nn ac
count of IU stewardship , ar.dwith luUlnablo
pride Unites tbo closest scrutiny of Itt record.
So much for tbo past , 1 think this
brief stiitcinontof tie actual accomplishments
of the republican party t lls a itory of duty
toccstly performed , of wlsa leglslition , of
pmJencoln vubllcexpendlture. of fidelity in
every interest rarely equalled ( n the history
of dovenimcnU nnuvhere. The rcpuUlcan
partvtruoto Its traditions , hrnput forward its
plaltormandlts candidates pledged by their
past history to carry out to the letter the
doctrines , of which wo are so proud and for
which vehuusaeitllcedso much , and with
which vo feel certain to succeed. Wchnvo
notclmncod our tactics , nor clowopropoio to

to continue the siuno general course , uhlcn
c have heretofore pursued.
This campaign Hto bean aggressive and
iiota dcfc'nshe one. 7ho republicans have
no occasion for defense. Their record is
clear. The democratic party oC this state

sowoiriou and uxcd this republic for lo

organization cither in this or any

administered to them in 1SSS by retiring Sir.

"Tlio address of Hon , John L , Webster of
Omaha was as follows :
For twcnty-tliteo ) ears has \ebraskn hid
its star among the constellation of the
azurobluoof the Vtncrlcan flag. Stepping
Into the union -with a quarter of n rnlllionof
people , shohas more than kept pice with the
march of the world , until her population has
increased 1.1.10,000. , During the last ten
jeursno state in the union has kept an equal
] iaco witli her In the growth of her indus
tries , m the ex tent of her agricultural pro
duction , in the development of her mercan
tile interests , iiorin the growth of her popu
lation. Considering-her ) outh as a state ,
she stands without a rival -without a peer
among the states of the republic.
For these twenty-three ) ean her political
Interests and destinies hn\o \ beea tinder the
control of the republican party. At the bi
ennial elections for Uventy-thieo jears she
h.is regularly installed a republican governor.
At tlio coining election the republican paity
will not onlv honor itself , but vlll lionoryour
city of Fremont by the election of Governor
Uiuhards.
In the days of oar young statehood wo
learned our republicanism from such old stal
warts as Oliver LJ Moitoii , Benjamin t\
Wade and diailcs Sumner. Later on , the
llres of party spirit wro Itept burning by the
Crlotic Innveiyof a Gaifleld nnd tlio polit-
geniusof Uo-cocCoiiWing. \ still have
wltlius tlie sterling integrity of John Sher
man and the brilliant enthusiasm of James U.
lllaine.
"Wo have with us men in our own party in

from the career of the martjrcd Lincoln.

.During the last tvo years missionaries of

Under the existing law a fjraln elevator is

I vlll tell you the re.ison wliv I am not an

stdorwitbdcHtciation thopurpoaesand alms
of the alliance movement in the United
States. With a large majoritj of tlio mem
bers corn posing this organization the motives
are need , their aiplmtiotn pure and pitriotlc.
They are honestly looking around fora rem
edy "forwhat U > oy iresn.nl as existing eiPs.
The > complain of railroad domination , of the
combination of capital in the organization of
trusts , of the financial management ot the
country in the establishment of United States
ban to. The proposed remedy sufr ested for
what they rcjrard as an oMl is to convert the
federal government Into a Wnd of parental
ami financial guardian for every citizen who
ownsn pi < ye ot land or passes muster as a
fanner by securing Win a loin on tills laud at
a lowratoof luteiest from the federal gov
ernment , but -what of the millions who own
no land or town lots 3 Tlio hi/borers who live
by their daily toil the blacksmith , the car
penter , the contractor , the turner , the hod-
earner , tlio bricklayer , tlio millions upon mil
lions of laborers outside of the fiirtner class
what provision Is to bo made for thctnl In
civil society e-ury class is alike entitled to
civil protection inperson imdpropcity fiom
the joveinmetit And 110government sliould
assume the guardianship of unv class of its
citizens or render tlicm financial aid except
for services rendeied to that go\crninent.
Thosoldlers tallwithlu the class wiio have
rcndcied service to tlio government , but the
farmer as sue line more than the day Inboter.
Besides , the course proposed by- the alliance
would piraljzo the cneigles of the

tial Industry upou which the nation's pros
perity in a grc.it . degree depends.
You ha\o witnessed this hazardous result
over and over nijii in in eveiy community.
Two farmers live neighbors surrounded by
like circumstances and conditions , each has
a son of the same ago equal In phsicnland )
mental strength and energy. One of these
bovsls sent out Into the world to rustle for a
living , to make his way , a wo usually say.
Ho becomes a rustler among nien.sclf-rellant ,
energetiCtiiouUmg' | business and trade around
him , strong in power and Inlluenco in city ,
council and state , a strong factor in c\ery
dcpirtmcnt of tno civil and social fabric. In
school district , in cnuich and in state , Im
parting to his chlldien anil to his household
the same elements of character tie himself
possessed , He pajs his deWs , ho lifts Iris
own mortgages , he lias no time to complain
and find fault , for ho is engaged In mould-
Inprthotholeweb and warp of the social
fabric , In building up , not in pulling down.
The son of the other man is the special de
light of his parent. IIo relics upon the
parent , ho turns to him for aid In every
emergency of life and he recehes it , lie be-
coiiiM and is mneropiphcr In society. Ho is
helpless , a Heater drifted by every current ,
can do nothing \\ltliout parental aid. IIo is
a useless factor In ttotocial fabric. Parental
aid has paralyzoJ effort and luinetUilm So
you by the fostering euro of a parental gov
ernment -would make puling infants
of the former clirtsj ) heliilras and use
less , without selt'-wliance , uill or capacity
for effort. iTs'o , ncntlqmen , this vlll not do.
Nothing1 mustbodouo tocripplo or paralyze

And it ought not to occasion surprise that
