COLUMBUS. O., March I. The republican
convention was today called by Chairman
Walter Brown of the 'state central commit
tee at 4:15. After the offering of a prayer,
Chairman Brown Introduced as temporary
chairman of the convention Jamea R. Gar
field, secretary of the Interior. Mr. Oar
field spoke as follows:
This year we engage In a national cam
paign. Eighty millions of people will peace
fully determine which of the great par, lei
shall for the next four years control their
dealintes. The Issues Involved are of tre
mendous and vital Importance.
For more than forty years, excepting a
few short Interval, the republican party
. has been responsible for the polltloal life of
our nation. During that period wo have
changed from a people depending almost
entirely upon agriculture to a nation fore-
moat in manufacture and diversified com
mercial Interests! we .have received m l
lions of foreigners and are gradually but
certainly making them useful, law-abiding
clthsens; we huve outgrown the simpler
life of small communities for the complex
political and social organisation of the gre.it
cities; we have, by the fertility of our In
ventive and business genius, open d the
treasure house of our n iral resource and
bound own country together by permanent
lines of transportation and communication;
we have ahndned the Isolation of our
formt,. position among our sister nation
and assumed our share of the world's bur
. dens; we have, with the eplrlt, strength,
and courage and untrammeled youth,
passed through In half a century there
phases of political and Industrial cbane,
and overtaken the oldor nations which had
many years the start.
Every Problem Solved la Tarn.
The republican party has boldly faced
each successive problem, and stood for
policies and measures which have made
progress possible. The party spirit has
never faltered. As our leuders won thci
battles, those who took their places have
faced the front and carried on the work
not forgetting the deeds and experience of
the past but recognising the same spirit of
aggressive, patriotic action that filled the
minds and hearts of the men who created
our psrty and won Us flrat great victory
.the tlvll war.
Tratmpurtatlon companies and favored
shipper have been guilty of granting and
receiving rebates and diacrlmlnallons. Of
ficers or corporations engaged In Interstate
nr.51 n:eice have misused the powois and
funds of the corporations; have by means
of stock Jobblnrj and stock watering trans
actions ttiipoicd upon the public as well aa
toon the stockholder, for whom they are
U -tmui -.truMena... The public hss boen do
fmudtd oot-ef th Its property and rights
tlpou the public, domain. Such facts hsve
bten exooaed and the offenders convicted.
It Is certnlnly true that public confidence
bav been shRken hv reason of these disclos
ures and neoeeea'rlly legitimate business
hat Buffered to some extent, but such loss
and suffering was necessary in order to
ro-t Silt the evtla that were napping our
IndtifitHal life. Fortunate Indeed are we
tlint the exposure came when It did. It Is
wr'.l that tlin country was awakened to the
Invn'nent danger In which we stood. Ex
uoniirn nf wrongs has cleared the' air and
Wt'rrQt" business is today stronger and
1 .'rleauer because nf what has been done.
The great majority of our laboring and
hualnras men are honest and the Interests
tVrv rrprcwnt are fairly conducted, but
that does not excuse ua for falling to ex
pos and punish the wrongdoer where
ever fornd; he cannot be shielded nor par
doned for fear of Injuring his Innocent
assclaten
Middle Groaad Take.
On tho other hand, as to those who say
we have not gone far enough; the man
who would destroy coi potations because
some of their managers have piiHtised their
Iiowera,' who would prohibit labor unions
ecre Of the evil deeds ofsome of their
leaders, who, would confiscate property
trcarec It Is um-iiuaUy distributed, who
would have the government own and oper
ate all public utilities because some have
i Aeen III or corruptly managed, la as wrong
in his Judgment of present conditions as
are those who cry that we have gone too
far.
' The , republican party with the president
lands opposed to both these extremes.
We have chosen the middle ground of
, fane, practical, constructive legislation.
Measures hitherto adopted, as well as
thoss propnsej) for carrying out the poll-
. clea. hereafter; while remedying the evils,
Ukewlao, hav for their purpose the pro
tection of the man or corporation who has
acquired wealth legitimately and la using It
beneficially! and the preservation of con
ditions VJirter which all : lasses of men will
have equal oppott,.ilty for the development
)f tMr Individual rapacities to the high
est 4r gree.
Cnder this record of things done with
confidence we make our pledges for future
action.
IWATOB BinKBTT AT BOSTON
Nebraska n Ijeclnrea Pnhll Has Suf
fered fresa Manipulation.
BOBTON. March S. Senator E. J. Bur
kett of Nebraska tonight at the banquet of
th Masaachusetta Republican club! spoke
on national republican Issues. He said In
part: . 1
, " The democrats tell ua that the repub
licans are divided on men and measures,
una I ifonfees 1 rsther think that Is true.
Bi't we are fortunate In both, because the
destinies ef our party are not entirely de
pendent upon the life of any one man nor
our policies upon the machinations of a
, single brain. And while we may be di
vided now, after the convention we will all
be united on the man and harmonious as
to measures. There Is one thing certain,
we aha.il hrver barter men for measures
ss the price of harmony, aa our democratic,
friends did four years ago. We will not
dominate an octopus chaaer on a Standard
CMl Ul farm, nor run a gold standard can
didate with a fret silver entry card, aa
the democrats did at the last election.
The republican party has won the affec
tion of lite people In the past, not more
because It Was always right than by hav
ing courage and cenvlction and geniua and
energy. I think that from every outlook
there Will not be the strong line of de
marcation between tbe parlies that has ex
isted In other years. There are Dot enough
democrats any more to make a "demarca
tion." and they inm to Krow less every
time the prealdent sends In a message.
I regret that 'her has been necessity
for the flagellation that the president has
had to give to some business methods, and
while It has be-n eniharraHsing and pos
sibly expunalVM to a few enterprises 1 am
sure that aa we have used it In other daya
the word "panic" le a little too harsh a
term. 1 am sorry that the Alton dea.1 and
a few such high-handed affairs In finance
have discredited stocks to the embarrass
ment of some good people and that to a
certain extent there is a temporary cessa
tion of activity In the stock market. Hut
there Is nothing wrong with the country
nor with tho business morals of very many
Of the people, and the president has nVt-r
said there was. There la not a thing In
the world upon which the financial Inter
eats can baae a panic if their business has
been conducted along U'iluuln lines, But
if demand for business Integrity produces
anlo in this country, then In my opinion
lie American people are in a condition of
Blind to precipitate a few panics.
It Is not tiie bull. ling of great fortunes
that ewaila people, but the manipulating of
ibetn. YVe have gotten by the period of

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
-WASHINGTON, March 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Emboldened by the speeches of
Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan
and Senator Knuto Nelson of Minnesota
against the Aldrlch bill opponents of that
measure are coming out Into the open and
declaring that If paeaed It will not accom
plish the purposes for which It was In
tended, It only benefit being to create a
market for railroad securities. Senator
Brown, who has listened most earnestly to
the discussion of the bill, today came out
flat foot edly against the measure. To The
Bee correspondent he said that he knew
of no pereon Or bank In Nebraska who waa
dead set In favor of the bill. In his opin
ion the bill was framed In the Interest of
New England and NcwYork bankers and
that It would not atop any future panic.
The senator waa emphatic In hi declara
tion that there wa absolutely no need for
such legislation, the 'only need of a cura
tive bill being to protect' th American
people from future panics, which the Al
drlch bill did not do.
The senator said he was opposed to the
clause of the bill permitting the Issue of
currency upon railroad bond and thought
that feature of the bill was an Ingenious
scheme to put Into the hands of unscru
pulous banker million of dollars that
might be needed to corner any great rail
road stock. A this bill doe not provide
for any guaranty to depositor snd as the
people of Nebraska most generally are
against an genet currency h will vote
against the bill.
There Is also, a rumor current that Sen
ator Burkett hold to thts same view, but
a he Is In Boston today It wa Impossible
to ascertain hi view.
The following other republican senators,
In addition to Brown and Burkett of Ne
braska, Nelson of Minnesota and Smith of
Michigan are reported against the Aldrlch
bill: ' Burrows,' , Heyburn, Borah, Hans
brough. Carter, Beveridge, Clapp, LaFol
lette, Stephenson and Dixon.
. . fraternal File Protest.
8entor Burkett ha recently received let
ter from fraternal organisation which
print fraternal Journals urging In th
strongest term possible the defeat of the
bill Introduced by Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania early tn the session, which pro
vides that when any Issue of any periodi
cal has been declared non-mallable by the
Postofflce department the periodical may
be excluded from seoond class mall priv
ileges at the discretion of the postmaator
general. The law department of a number
of these frsternal organisations have vehe
mently protested against the passage of
this bill on the ground that It would ex
clude many fraternal publications from the
second class list and compel them to pay
first class postage.
In the case of the Woodmen of the World
it wa claimed that the enforcement of
such an order would cost that organisation
SDO.OOe a year. Similar losses were cited
with other fraternal associations and so
persistent were the friends of these aoe'e
tles about the dire effects of the bill that
Senator Burkett took occasion to look up
the measure. It appear that th Senior
senator from Pennsylvania Introduced a
bill at the instance of Wilbur F, Crafts
of this city, who Is at the head of the
Purity league of the United States, and It
wa aimed primarily at certain socialist
publication of which there are several In
the west, one In particular in Kansas
known aa the Appeal to Reason. This
paper began a crusade against the bill and
so excited fraternal publications that they
bore down upon their member In con
gress, all of which turns out to be a
"tempest In a teapot." The bill has no how
of passage and It Is gravely doubted If It
will be considered by the committee of
which Senator Penrose Is chairman.
BUI for Episcopal School.
Senator Clark's bill setting aside 160
acres of the Shoshone Indian reservation

to authorise th secretary of the Interior
to Issue a patent In fee simple for certain

Knox county, Nebraska. The land thus
ought to be conveyed contain some two
and one-half acre.
Senator Clapp thl morning secured the
passage In the senate of his bill to author
ise patents to the Santee Indian. Th
bill provides that the secretary of th In
terior Is authorised to Vauae patents t
Issue under pi o visions of the act of Feb
