When tbi republican parly was born Ibis spot was tin center of Iho Great American desert. Todaj it Is the center of the nation's oasis. "Is it not ominous indeed that wo , ns re publicans ot Nebraska , should meet lion today under such auspicious circumstance ; to act Into motion the wheels ot political ma chincry that roll us on to Minneapolis , when wo will do our part as factors of the grant old republican party of the nation In con tlructhiR a platform for the coming cam palgn , drawn strong and liberal enough fo nil a platform on which all moi can meet upon ono common level regardless of location or posltlot In life.

Douglas county cast her sixty- throe voles solid against tabling the resolu tion , while Dodge nud Lancaster with the northeast counties voted for it. Tbo vote was Announced amid applause as 175 for to 411 against. Moved thn Previous Question , The question then recurred on reference to the committee on resolutions. Ben Baker of Douglas moved the pre vious question and said hi support of bis motion : "Wo should not repeat the dis graceful conduct which marked n recent ns- Bomblago in Oainha. It Is not probable that loi.g speeches will nffcct Ibo result , nnd I ibcreforo move iho previous qucsilon. " The roll call was domauden nnd was pro ceeded with , Dodge county switched nnd voted ten no , nnd ono yes. The roll call on Daubach's amendment was proceeded with until Lincastcr was reached , when Bunhncll arose and moved that the further call of the roll bo dispensed with. Then there was a protest , and Chair man Slaughter asked on what grounds Iho motion to dispense V'lth the call wns mado. Bushncll responded : "Wo want to put the Lancaster county delegation > n this position. Wo have no pcnor.nl tight to make upon any one , nnd ns It Is evident from the way the vote U going that the motion will be de feated , I make tbo motion to suspend tbo full In order to save time. [ Shouts "of "No , " no , " and "Mako Lancaster county vote1) ) Lancaster was then passed In order to poll tha delegation. Later Lancaster voted thirty- six no. When the roll call was completed Chair man Slaughter said there was no need of an nouncing the vote , as the motion to refer the resolution to the committee was defeated by un overxvhelmlng majorily. Carried Amid Cheers. He put the question on the original motion to endorse Mr. Hosowatcr ns national com- lulltceman , and It wai carried \vlth a rousing cheer , the throwing up of hats und tno wav ing of handkerchiefs , only a dozen voices calling out "no , " when the nays were called. John Peters of Boone ibnn read Ihc follow ing resolution , which was adopted with ap plause : Resolved. That the delegates elected by this convention ho Instructed to UPC all hon orable means to sec urn the nomination of President Harrison Hi Minneapolis , und nil candidate ! bu requested to announce to this convention their position on tills matter. A motion was made that the convention proceed to tbo nomination of lour delegates- nl-lnrgo. An attempt was made to toke n recess , but without success. Then somebody wanted n committee on resolutions named , but the convention voted it doun. Tbeu the motion to nominate dclccates-at- large prevailed and nominating speeches wcro declared In order. J. L. Webster was nominated by Bartiott of Omaha. "Gotn mau who is for Harrison , " shouted n delegate ; cries of "Webster , Webster ! " The chair called on Mr. Webster to come to the platform. L. W. Gilchrist of Saunders objected. That was unnecessary , he said , because no delegate could vote against Harrison in the facn of Peters' resolution. The chair ruled lhat under the resolution Webster would have to publicly uvow his allcKianco to Harrison. Bartiott arose und began saying , "I am au thorized by Webster to say , " but his voice was drowned in the confusion and by cries ol "Gel down , " "Wobster , Webilor. " Thought Him Kqnivocal. Webster -ihon came into the hall anil mounted the stage. "I do not know , " salii he , "why 1 was sent for , but every man In this convention must know that Ihoro slands before you a man who bus known nolhinc bul loyalty to republican principles.

" iChocrsl. Mr. Webster was taken back by the bois lerous demonstration. After referring to th ( BEK editorial ropublNhed In the Hub , he denied that he had ever boon dugrunllod nnd closed wllh the declaration , "us things now stand , and unless some unforsccn elf ( . umstunccs should uriso that would change the most loyal of Mr. iljarrlson's friends , : will earnestly support his candidacy for re nomination.

HARRISON PROVES.A GENERAL FAVORITE Itrpuhllc.in State Conventions Show Their Approval of III * Administration niul Demand Ills Itcnoinlnntloii Do. Ings oT Domocrati. CLEVELIND , O. , April 27. Whirling at top speed was what the whole of the Ohio repub lican state convention was doing tonlsbt. Five Important comnnttfeo meetings were in session at different hotels , with a prospect of being at it until aflcr.tntdnlght , and n secret conference between representatives of the opposing Sherman and Forakor camps had boon arranged to ascertain if it were yet possible to keep the floor of the convention Irco from bad blood. Opinions were that the Sherman forces were apparently more than ever de termined to name their men lor delcgatovat- largc to the convention at Minneapolis , For- ' nlier forces wero'insisting with increased cnccrucss that the ex-governor's friends should have the choosing of at least two of the four. The Sherman supporters seemed to feel that Forakor himself wns making a 'tremendous and all sufficient effort. The Voice of 1'encc. In the terrific Jangle the still small voice of peace wns piped oaly from strictly Benjamin Harrison sourcej. The certain withdrawal of A. L. Conger from luo list of possibilities wns ono of the developments of the evening. Ho quiotl.v acknowledges , himself that ho was out of the race. Frotn other sources came Ibe information that Conger had been placed on the national administration's compromise slats nnd that his withdrawal probably meant the retirement of 1'oe , ono of the For- aker candidates. The Forakorites rnpdo n peculiar move in the meeting tonight in the committee on permanent organization. The ex-governor is In a certain sense bovcatted in the Fathering not one Forakorito coining forward to take a hand in the proceeding * The result was perhaps not materially different from what woulu have happened In any evont. The committee deeded' to report the nnme of Governor McKinley -for penrnnont chair"- man of the convcnllpn , John JR. Mallory , clerk of tbo Ohio bou b.ef representatives , for permanent secretary , and A.C. * Kaln for sergcantra't-arms. ' . f Plunks from 'the Platform. . The platform committee seems to have practically apreed upo.a n platform endorsing ing Harrison's national administration and McKinley's course as governor , besides oulocizingthe McKin'.ey bill and inserting a separate wool plank , as well as ono con- dcmnlng.tho action of congress regarding cotton tie * . Uofcrrlng'to the sSlver"questIon , an honest dollar is demanded , honest elec tions south and north called for. Another feature being a conservative pension plank. Tbo elaboration of tno planks was left to a subcommittees Direct in tructlons for Harrison wera understood ; bavo.bcon omitted In defer ence to McKinley's contingent cahdidncy and also because some of Forakor's lieuten ants might , It was feared , endeavor to defeat them. Tne action tonight of the committee on rules and order ot business may prove n fire brand tomorrow in the convention. The commlttpo decided to.report In favor of post poning the nomination of the delegates nt largo until nfter the state ticket is cnraolotedv A good deal of trading as to state ofticcs has been going on , based on promises of support lo the Sherman slate for dclecatos-at-Iargo and the effect was suppoiod lo bo in the nature of Damocles' sword , to preserve eood fulth in carrying out pledges. Jt was the cosslp , how ever , that the Forskoriles might strenuously opcoso the pretty plan , when rocortcd by the committee , and endeavor to have the delo- gatos-at-largo chosen ot the start , wlille everybody would ho full of it , instead of at the tail end of thb session , when all hands would bo tired and ready to vote for almost anything to get through and go home. In I'oxesslon of the Sheriuunltct. Tno first meeting of the new central com mittee tonight win clearly In tbo full posses sion of the Sherman psoole. it was a most harmonious gathering , and the enthusiastic friends of the senator claimed that sixteen of the twenty-ouo members were loyal to the sago ot Mansfield. Sherman luon were elected to all tbo Dittoes In the gift of tbo commiti.oo. F. S. Purcell of Hocking county , permanent chairman ; J. J. G'ant of Stark , vice chairman , nud Ucorgo II. Davles , secre tary. Would Not Compromise. Shortly baforo midnight mutters as to the delcgates-at-lnrgo reached a climax nnd nil tbo talk ot compromise was thrown to tbo winds. Contrary to expectation no Joint conference of opposing leaders was hold. Instead , emissaries from the Sherman ranks" were sent to ex- Governor Forakor td ask what ho would pronoso and adhere to as to the composition of the quartet. A conference of the ex-gov ernor and his friends returned an answer Inter that tbo ForaUer slate would bo McKinley , Forakor , ' liushnoll und Gibson. A full mooting of the Sherman managers was at ODCO bold and. the more .the matter was discussed , the higher grew the wrath of all present. It was decided to take the bull by the horns anjl a'proposltioi ' : was oven made to not only , decline to accept the Forakor proposal , but to le.ivo him out entirely , as well as his friends. This , however - over , was declared undignified. William Ilahnbd managed Sherman's successful tight for the senator.-.hlp and who has been on the Bher.nan slate from the outset - sot for ono of the delogtuoi-ut-large , outlined a plan which was unani mously decided upon , it was to make a brand now slate MdClnley , Sherman , Foster nnd Forakcr , with n possibility. If the Utter proved desperate , to put on sotno ono cite and rldo ovpr'laim rough bhod , after first electing McKiulojr , Sherman and Fos ter , ' ' 'he Sbermunites claim to have 453 out ol 7.- votes In the convention. The placing of Senator Sherman's name and that of 1'rcsldcnt Harrison's secretary of Uo treasury o Iho anti-Foraker slate created intense excltotnoi.t among the scores of delegates congregated in tbo hotel lobbies. Ex-Govornor Forakor proservoJ his equan imity when ho .heard this , but declined to say what would bo bis next move. JUKI : jriJOjiAuvs TI ILMI-JI.

Immediately after the meeting of the con gressional delegations and tbo selection ot commiitccmcn , the committee on resolutions met and began the preparalion of Ibo plat form. It was soon agreed on a denunciation of the M.cKinlcy law and ro.inirmatiou of the tariff plank of the democratic platform of ISS4 and 18SS. Tbo financial plank declares for a gold and silver standard , establishment of a currency convertablo without loss to the holders and fixing : tbo ratio by un international monetary congress , so that tbo parity ba maintained und nil minis thrown open to free coinage ; favoring the election ot senators by a popular vote , an unrelenting war on trusts nnd com bines nnd the party pledged to legislation that will aid proceedings ngnlnst them. Sumptuary laws are declared unwise und vfxotious. Governor Flfor's administration Is scored for nullifying tbo constitution. Child labor Is opposed and iho cication of a board of arbitration favored. Compulsory Kducatlun Plunk , Following is the plank on cnmputsorv edu cation : Wo nra proud of our common school system and pledge ourselves to uphold and Improve It. A free Institution caunot oxUt without universal education. We denounce the republican parly forcnactlngu law which tends to bring the cause of popular education Into disrepute. A law which lakes from a parent the right to oclucato his child accord ing to tbo dictates of conscience , a IAW which creates state supervision over schools toward which iho state contrib utes nothing ; a law wbUh gives absolute power to every local school bourd , no matter how Ignorant or spiteful Its actions , to harass and persecute a large class of pconle who do their full duty both toward too state and children , and who , by their labor , patriotism and intelligence contribute very much to our prosperity and.groatnvss. This luw is also to be condemned us an Invasion of that re ligious liberty guaranteed by the constitution nnd u mounts in effect to interference ov the state with the church.

( Now York Herald Cabin Special to Tin : Bci.J It would bo entirely useless lo attempt to deny that the sltuntlon In the very Uonrt of Franco 1 * fraught with Croat danger. The outrutro which occurred the day before yesterday proves that , the anarchists are thoroughly organized and arc still actlvo In spite of the numerous nrresU , nnd yostcrilny's vorJlot , which wns clvon by twelve Jurors , nil of whom nre intelligent business man , proves that In the eyes of thcso Jurors , nnd coiuoquontly In the eyes of the largo portion ot the copulation of Paris , the anarchists are really a political party. Of course It is poislblo that the Juror * wore influenced by Uavachol'a lawyer , who reminded ttiom that "In the interests of pub lic order it would bo wiior not to condemn the prisoners to death. " A dread of fresh explosions may have also influenced them In coming to a verdict. There is also , however , another explanation of their conduct. 1 tmu n conversation this morning with one ot the Jurors , n wealthy middle aged merchant , nnd ho told mo that ho and his colleagues had not given their attention to Kavuchol' ' * former crimes against the common law , but to the d.vniimito outrages perpetrated by him in Paris , nnd tlint as there wns abundant proof that he had not perpetrated tnctn through personal motives , it wns im possible for them to condemn him to death. Iolc That I * HumoroiiH. Such logic is terrifying nnd plain proof of mental aberration. If In such n i-orlous crisis mirth were permissible , the humor of the situation would certainly ex cite to laughter. The government causes the Chamber of Deputies lo enact n law with the special object of condemning Havachol to death , and now the jurors refuse to avail Ihcnisnlvos ol the law , though It was enacted. specially for the occasion. A deplorable impression bas been produced by the verdlc' , not only In Paris , but also throughout France , nnd also- In foreign couutrios. Statesmen BOO what the rciults will bs , especially In Russia , where the czar has pitilessly pursued the Russian anarchists nnd where so many difll- cultics must bo overcome in order to convince - vince the people that Franco , although a re public , is able to maintain order. I'urlH Is Terrorized. Certainly these latest events give grounds for expecting trouble on May day , und oven those who heretofore were undismayed are now becoming frightened. Many foreigners ara leaving the city , ana in many first class hotels , like the Hristol , the Chatham , the Westminster and the Hotel du Kheln , several dispatches have been received cancelling orders for apartments. The gov ernment is acting with energy , but for the past fortnight it has boon practically baffled and has not been able to prevent explosions from tailing place.
