ONi : of the shrewdest and most sensi ble plunks in the republican platform is the silver plank. It means what it bays nnd says it well. OMAHA should exhibit bar apprecia tion of the National drill by decorating her principal thoroughfares and partic ularly those on the line of the parade. THK committee on notification has de cided to toll President Harrison of his nomination next Monday. It must b6 terrible to bo kop' In suspense so long. SIDNKY DIM.ON left afortuno of about e,0JO,000 ; ! ( , but the most diligent search nnionjr his effects fails to rovosil any codicil leaving a union depot to Omaha. FOUAKKU says Major MoKinloy had given his consent to his candidacy. Foralcor is evidently trying to shelve McKinley as a presidential possibility In 18'JG. ' IK DlSNVKK is such an awfully awful anti-Harrison city , according to Senator Wolcott , will soiuu one please explain the meaning of that rousing ratification mooting Saturday evening ? THAT Omaha policeman who pulled n would-be suicide out of the IlanscOm park lake and wanted to arrest him for swimming in the lake certainly pos- Bcssos a rare gift of humor. Tun ratification nt Exposition hall this evening will bo attended by ti great crowd. Lot Omaha show the west and the east that she and Nebraska tire solidly and unwaveringly republican. IT is arrant hypocrisy for democratic papers to profess such great aumiration tor lilaino after ho has boon defeated. Had lie buen nominated the democratic mud batteries would have belched forth an avalanche of mud. THK democratic newspapers are al ready slandering \VhUolaw Hold. They claim that his first name is Jacob. But that isn't as bud as the first and last name of the democratic , vice presi dential candidate. His name , whoever ho may bo , is Dennis. Now look out for roorbacks and bugbears. Look out for bogus free bridge propositions which are to bo sub mitted a day or two before the election by the Interstate Uridgo syndicate which in reality is nothing more nor less than n Union Pacific annex. OMAHA citizens will not forgot amid the Coliseum exposition and the competi tive drill that tlio most important tiling is the carrying of the Nebraska Central bonds next Thursday. That railroad will in its results give Omaha moro of euoh meetings nnd conventions. CliAUXC'HY M. DKIMCW declares with much emphasis thnt there is not a par ticle of foundation for tlio report that ho is to succeed Mr. Blame its secretary of fctnte. Many circumstances go lo bear out Mr. Dopow'u assertion and there can bo no doubt that ho means what ho says. THK camp of the National Guards at the county fair grounds will bo a scene of great animation and intoiust this week. Most of the companies that will join in the competitive drill have ar rived , and they constitute as a whole a fine body of men. who take n profound pride in their military attainments. The etiinp will be a center of attraction this week , and our uiti/ens will bo fully repaid for all the attention they give to the military visitors. Tur.iti : has boon but one expression from lho o who attended the opening of the Manufacture ! ti exposition at the Coliseum. It is commended as by far the most interesting and instructive lu- thidlrhil exhibit ever hold in the state. Within the next day or two the display wil bo complete in every feature. As it representative exhibit of the tuniiufno- turltij. industries of Nebraska It appeals to tlio attention of every citizen of the Htuto , and it cannot fail to excite the pride of all who are Interested in our in- diiotrlul condition. THK rtCH 7i R/DBATMI CAXDWATK. The naming of the candidate for vice president on the republican ticket was very properly left to the Now York delegation. The delegates from that state unanimously selected Hon. Whltolaw Hold , and the convention nominated him by acclamation. The choice was eminently judicious. The expediency of taking the candidate for the second place from the Kmplro stnto , which will bo the principal battle ground of the campaign , will not bo questioned , nnd there is no man in thnt state stronger with its people or moro available in every respect than the distinguished editor of the Now York Tribune. Mr. Held has within the last two years acquired Inlornationnl famous us an able and successful diplomatist. As United States minister to Franco ho achieved results which will bo n great nnd lasting benolit to this country. The character of his services abroad is fa miliar to all intelligent observers of curiont events and 1ms received the hearty commendation of men of all par ties. But Mr. Koid was well known to the entire country long before ho en tered tlio diplomatic service. As the editor of the Now York 2Vimttc ( for moro than a score of years , succeeding Horace Grcoloy in the control of that great paper , ho had mndo his name familiar throughout the land as ono of the foremost journalists of the time. Whitolaw Reid represents in a con spicuous dogrco those qualities of the American character which in this re public onnblo men to rise from the humblest station in life to distinction and honor. Ho began the practical work oC life with a good education and before ho had all allied his majority was n country editor. His ilrst political alllliation was with the republican pnily , having gone on the stump for John C. Fremont in 1S3G , and ho has over since shown undovltxting fidelity to republican principles and policy. Until appointed minister to France by Presi dent Harrison Mr. Hold had never hold any public position. His career as a journalist has been brilliant and emi nently successful , and his comparatively brief diplomatic service has given him a place in the front rank of American diplomatists. Mr. Hold possesses every requisite for the olllco of vice president , and his long and useful service in sup port of lepuMicnn principles gives him tlio strongest possible claim to the con- lidonce of the party. A T.IMK .1KOU.WJAT. Tlio only point made by the opponents of the Nebraska Central proposition which may influence taxpaying voters is the assertion that wo have no posi tive assurance thnt the company will build the bridge and the proposed im provements. Nowsupposo that the company should actually fail to raise the $7,000,000 or $8,000,000 which the contemplated im provements will cost , who will be the loserV The company pays the entire ex pense of the election. Not a dollar will bo saddled on tlio taxpayers unless they actually raise the money to build the bridge , depot and connecting railroads in Iowa and Nebraska. What risk then do we run in voting the bondsV What can wo lese by voting them except the chance which the promoters have taken of raising the necessary money to carry out the project ? If it bo really true , us is assorted by the combine that is en deavoring to defeat the bonds , that Dumont - mont and his associates cannot possibly secure the necessary capital , then why are the bridge monopolists making such desperate efforts to defeat the bonds' ? Why are they hiring so many rousta bouts to work against the bonds , if they feel sure that nothing will come of the whole project for want of the backing of responsible capitalists ? A GLOOMY OUTL001Z Colonel Henry Wnttorson of Ken tucky will deliver an address at Chicago on the evening of the 20th of Juno , and on the following morning the demo cratic national convention will begin its work. Many distinguished democratic statesmen from various parts of the country will listen to the remarks of the eminent Kontuckian. lie has something on hip mind that will not keep until the convention has assembled. Wo all know what it is , because ho gave out some hints of it at the Kentucky slate convention a few days ago. Upon that occasion ho said that the democratic party was between the devil and the deep blue sen , and that whichever way it turned no light was to bo seen through the surrounding gloom. It is dilllcult lo conceive what Mr. Watlerson can say now that will add to this melancholy picture. To bo between tlio devil and tlio deep blue son and to have no pros pect of escape from the impenetrable darkness of despair is a situation that must awaken sompabslon in every breast that is not democratic , and if it does not utterly destroy the democracy from olT the face of the earth it will bo be cause the democracy has sources of light which Mr. Watterson knowsnothing of. Tlio public will await with keen inter est tlio address which the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky lias prepared. It is iiupossible that ho cnn have dis covered a way out of the dllliculty since ho addressed the Kentucky con volition , but perhaps he lias found material for further observations in the same lino. Perhaps ho has discovered another devil and another duop blue sea that ho wishes to point out. Possibly ho has found that the gloom is deeper than it was. At any rate his speech to the democrats who are to choose a presiden tial candidate will bo fraught with In terest for the whole country. To bo perfectly serious , is it not sug gestive of Ihn dosporalo stralls to which the democratic party is reduced , that a man of the brains of Henry Wnttorson bliouId feel called upon to take such a position as ho has tukon ? Consider for a moment what it moans. A very largo majority of the domoernUo party has tukon aides with Mr. Cleveland , Ho will coriiunly huvo two-thirds of the delegates at Chicago , and counting those who tire supposed lo be for him , though not absolutely committed , ho will huvo n swooping majority. And yet hero is ono of the ablest loaders In the party who can see under such circumstances nothing but devils , deep water and 1m- penetrable jfloom , Of course ho does not stand alone in thin melancholy view of tlio situation. Ills apprehensions nro undoubtedly shared by thousands who have learned to respect his opinions. Ho says that the man who is favored bv the majority of his party is not available , and yet ho cannot BOO far enough through the gloom to name a bettor cnndulato. The democ racy must stand or fall by the record o the Cleveland administration. It offers no excuse for existence but thnt adminis tration , and yet Grovcr Cleveland , with n largo majority of the delegates , is in danger of being cast aside ns a danger ous candidnto. The whole country will await Mr. Wutlorson's further remarks on the sub ject of devils and gloom with curious in terest. . AN AI'PKAL TO COXSCIRNCU .1X1) JUDO * J/BAT. In his speech placing President Hnr- rlson in nomination Mr. Dopow said that the republican party must appeal to tlio conscience aid the judgment of the individual voter in every state in the union. This the party has done through the action of its representatives In the Mlh- , noapolis convention. In ronpminatlng President Harrison it placed'ooforo the country a candidate whoso claims to the popular support consist In the fact , that ho has given the nation one of the wisest , cleanest and most patriotic ad ministrations in its history. The can did political opponents of the president admit this. While disapproving repub lican policy nnd principles they are compelled to concede Hint the Harrison administration hns been able , dignified nnd honornblo. What nro its fruits ? The foreign commerce of the nation has been extended , barriers lo trade with European countries have boon removed , international controversies have boon put in the way of peaceful and honorable settlement , the dignity of the govern ment has boon maintained , homo indus tries have been stimulated , the republic has been strengthened in the rcspec of the world. In every branch of the public service the standard of olllcloncy has been olo- vatod. Capacity , fidelity and integrity tire the qualities required in public oln- cia's. It has been essentially a practi cal , business administration , y.calous in the performance of every duty and im partial in its ntlontion to nil interests. Such a record must appeal to the con science and judgment of every voter who Is concerned in the maintenance of good government and in the progress and prosperity of the country. The republican platform is a pledge that the policies and principles which have contribuled so largely to the un paralleled advance of the United States during the last quarter of a century will bo continued if the republican party is retained in power. It promises that the protection of American industries nnd American Inbor shall bo main tained , that the currency shall not bo debased , that the policy of commercial reciprocity shall continue to increase our foreign trade , that practical otTorls shall bo made to restore the country's merchant marine without destroying our ship-building interests , and that thoio shall bo no departure from Ihoso sound American principles upon a firm adherence to which depends the main tenance of our rights throughout the world. All this appeals to the con science and the judgment of tlio voter who is able to take a broad and patri otic view of his duly as n citizen. The candidate of the republican party has shown thnt above all things ho is an American , ono whoso statesmanship is as broad as tlio country , and whoso desire - sire is to subserve the interests and promote the welfare of tlio wh9lo people. Ho has elevated the republican party to his standard , and thereby given it a stronger claim to popular support than it hud when first it made him its stand ard bonror. Wilh such a candidnto , un- nssnllublo iu his public career and above reproach in his private life , stand ing upon the best platform over con structed by a political party in this country , the appeal of the republican party to the conscience and tlio judg ment of the voters of the country is as forceful and complete as it could possi bly be mndo. FOOD VOll It Every Oinahan who visited Minne apolis and St. Paul during the past week was strikingly impressed with the fact that the Twin Cities nro 'way ahead of Omaha in viaducts , railroad bridges and terminal facilities. Unless Omaha wakes up and exerts herself with might nnd main to raise the embargo on her trafllc bv reason of the bridge monopoly , she cannot possi bly hope to cope or oven compare with her northern rivals , whoso natural tributary territory is not as good as that of Omaha. It Is even beginning to dawn upon clour-visionod business men tha t Omaha is In danger of being dis tanced in the rnco for commercial su premacy by Sioux City , unless she suc ceeds in securing by a llueral bonus the construction of a bridge thai will afford for every railroad Ihut may desire to enter Omaha easy access to the heart of the city and to the great packing houses and slock yards at South Omaha. The question is. will the citizens of Omaha take advantage of the proposi tion now before them , or will they stu pidly vote to keep Omaha bottled up for another ten years nnd content them selves with remaining dependent upon the caprice of the existing terminal monopoly ? TIIK IWSINBSS MUS'S The mooting of the Stale Business Men'u ussoctntion in Omaha , to bo hold the first three days of the present week , brings to the city several hundred of the brainy , energetic and enterprising retail merchants of Nebraska , than whom there are no shrewder or moro progressive business men anywhere in tlio country. These merchants come together to discuss tholr business rolu- lutions with the public , to interchange experiences regarding methods of doing business , giving of credits and other matters immediately relating to the re tail trade , and to adopt means for mutual protection against irresponsible buyers. The association has done a valu able work slnco its organization In the In terests of tlio retail morcantllo business of the state and its importance is fully recognized by its members , the number of whom Is nnnunlU'jhii'roaslng. Omaha cordially wolcomjs1 hose wldo-awako _ merchants nnd the-biwlnoss men of this city will see lliuTi they nro properly cared for n.nd onlfcrrnfiiod , for they con tribute to n liberal , extent to the com mercial prosperity ! this city. Tholr mooting is held at n most auspicious time , slnco Omahhlrftroly offers such at tractions ns nro notf ftoro. Tun Bun novof jdpjiios ( ( the use of its columns for n legitimate discussion of any question In w til till the people of this city nnd state arfl jhilorosted. While Tun Bun is emphatically in favor of the proposition submitted by the Nebraska Central , wo have permitted the use of its columns to certain parties who are opposing the proposition. It seems to us , however , that lliclr argument would have boon mush moro effective If they had signed tholr names and lot the people ple know what source the opposition to the bond proposition comes from. It Is not to bo expected that men who are in terested in opposing corporations and men who are retained by such corpora tions will favor the Nebraska Central , which promises to become a formidable competitor , not only of the Union Pa cific bridge nnd the Bolt Hue , but also of the Douglas street' bridge , which is owned largely by men Intorcsled iu the Union Pacific. A SMALT * army of ward heelers and political mercenaries has boon engaged for next Thursday to fight the Nebraska Central bond proposition. These people ple are not enlisted in this fight for their health. The question is , who pays for these hirelings ; wl'o is interested enough to spend 520,000 or $30,000 for defeating the project ? Is it not manifest that the boodle to defeat the bonds must come from the corporations that want to maintain the grip they have upon Omaha for years ? And who will finally foot the bills for this campaign against the Nebraska Central ? The shippers nnd patrons of the present bridge mo nopoly which has kept Omaha back for years and will conlitiuo to do so until our citizens emancipate themselves. A DISPATCH from Now York states that ono of Hill's midwinter clelogalos , who bus kept a careful account of the delegates chosen throughout the coun try , figures that Cleveland has ' 153 , Hill 330 , Palmer 43 , Carlisle 35 , Boies 2G. There will bo 808 delegates in the con vention , and under the two-thirds rule 599 will bo necessary lo a choice. If the delegations vote under the unit rule Cleveland would Kayo 577 and Hill 215. It is claimed that-MIlll is the second choice of many delegates and tlio Hill men figure that if Cleveland Is not nom inated on the llrst-'ballot his chances will to destroyed.'But this is only ono side of the caso. The Cleveland ruon toll a different story ; : : CHICAGO is wrestling with the sweatIng - Ing shop problem andjli movement Is on foot to close sorao of the moro offensive ones. The New Yorl legislature has mot the question fairljyj by passing a law placing the faweiulm shops under the supervision of the factory inspectors , and Illinois may find it necessary to resort - sort to a similar'inoasuro. The public health is in danger from infected gar ments coming from thcso sweating sliops , most of which are in tenement buildings of the worst character. Chicago cage has hundreds of them. SCOUE another for the aesthetic west. An Omaha man lips written to the Boston Advertiser to correct n gross slander to the effect that there is no golden rod in the west. This gentle man shows that they are found near every hill of potatoes and all over every field of corn in Nebraska. Yes , indeed , wo.are long on golden rod. Another IJcad * Loailor.

President Harrison's nomination was the only loclcal outcome of the situation , and the fact that it was mailo by ao large a majority on the Ilrst ballot shovis that the convention realized ntid was equal to Us duty. Hnstlnps Nobrrtskan : There Is not a repub lican in the country but who Is sallslled with the nomination.

The report of the committee , which Is nearly ready tor presentation to the house , will recommend among other things that the president bo allowed to tnnko ton ap pointments n year instead of ten dur ing his whole term of odlco. The committee will ask forun appropriation of WS.OOO for lights for the academy. It was discovered that the curriculum of the academy allows only six months for the study of the Spanish language , and the commlttco thinks that cither this study should bo abandoned altogether , or nt least three years devoted to it.

Although there is to bo a comparatively full senate nud house this week , tbo ropu bit- cans now returning from Minneapolis nnd the democrats not yet having lelt in largo numbers for Chicago , it Is not probatla thnt the weak ulll see legislative m.Utora much advanced , liotn sides are too nervous and excited about the conventions to attend to . routlno business. Tariff in Iho house and silver in the sonnto was the program , but both sno- Joots are too heavy for the digestion of con gressmen in thofr present condition. The wnys nnd moans committee will endeavor to got a quorum together on Wednesday for the discussion 01 two or three moro tariff bills , especially these relating to iron ere , lumber nud sugar. A good deal of a dlsputo has arisen in the committee already , even among the demo cratic members , in record to the different features ot these bills , especially the silver bill , and it Is quito possible that the latter may go over without action. Tno week will DO utilized bv the democrats in maklnir prep arations for the fray at Chicago and by the republicans in resting and recovering from the effects of the Minneapolis experience. The evening trains Drought back lo town a goodly number of tired pilgrims. They have hnd practically the same story to toll. They nro all for Harrison now , or at least with few exceptions they say they aro. Colonel Now says the prospect for victorv was never hotter. Colonel Hughes , the chairman of the Tennessee delegation , an nounces that tbo republicans are going to try their best to carry that stnto for Harri son , and two of the Virginia delegates ex press entire contldcnco that Cleveland's great majority of UX)0 ( ) In the old dominion will be wiped out next November. General " Cutchcon "of Michigan says that the repub licans of that stnto will soon got ever their disappointment and will roll up an old tlmo majority for tbotlckot. General Esteo do- clnrcs that California will bo all right in No vember. Tboso nro fair samples of the talk of the mon who have just returned from Minneap olis. Senator Stewart of Nevada , the great silver apostle , Is not as well satisfied with the republican silver plank as Senator Teller is reported to bo. Senator Stewart remarked today that ho would not attempt to say what the silver republicans would do In the cam paign until ho bad talked tbo matter ever with thorn and learned what the democrats at Chicago proposed to do aboutsilvor. Senator tor Wolcott ot Colorado , who returned to the city this evening , appears to bo much dis gusted and is unwilling to talk about tbo Minneapolis deliverance- silver. P. S. H.

Mr. V. O. Stricklor , who has boon depu tized to act for the present in the place ot II. E. Tnubonock , president ot the national executive ecutivo committee of the people's party , in preparing for Iho convention to bo hold hero July-1 , said yesterday morning : "Tbo ucoplo of Omaha must do some nctlvo hustlinc In the next thrco weeks , or there 1s griot in store for us. Wo hnvo only lhat time in which to prepare lor the convention , nud tow people realize what nn amount of work there is yet lo bo dono. Wo bavo only secured accommodalions as yet for a little ever 0OOD people and there will ba 10,000 hero from this state itlono. Everv county in the state will send a big delegation , nnd Kansas and Iowa will pour Immense crowds upor us. "Soo these lettors. Hero is ono from M. W. Wilklns , chairman ot the Ohio state committee , saying that they will bavoninety- two delegates , and will bring a small nrmv of sightseers. They want to arrange tor a smull hotel for their exclusive uso. They have chartered the same train lhat took the delegation from their state to tbo Minneapo lis convention. Indiana Is in tbo same fix. A gentleman was hero last week from Jerry Simpson's district in Kansas and engaged fifty rooms nt the Barker hotel for visitors from that congressional district alone , nnd thnt doesn't take in the whole of Kansas by a long shot. "I know wlmt I am talkliie about , and I toll you that this convention will bring from UO.OOO to 50,000 people to Onuiha , and they must bo provided for. The way things are golnc wo will hnvo nbout 'jri.OOO strancers on nur hands nil in lump , and about half of them will have to sleop-out ol doors the lirat night unless our folks bestir themselves. That would glvo Omaha n big , black eye when they go away. Wo must do tbo same as Minneapolis did for the ropublicnn convention and as Denver has done in anticipation ot the triennial conclave. Minneapolis could have taken care ot 10,000 moro people , and Denver has already scoured accommodations fortW.OOO people. Justtliink of It. They did it by making a bOuso-to- house canvass and making up a list of every place whore ono or moro could bo accommo dated , nnd wo could do the same ihlnc. "Wo will start out a big committee on this work in n day or two and our citizens must understand what is oxpooted of thorn. If we don't take care of our guests as well as our sister cities it is not difllcult to foretell the result , nnd wo must not siUdown idly now to lot matters take care of themselves or wo will hnvo cause for weeping after a while.
