The unanimity which prevails 'la the
national convention foreshodowes it is
believed, an overwhelming victory at
the common polls.
The nominee for vice president, Mr.
Hobart, is properly placed, geograph
ically, and he is known as a loyal re
publican and public spirited citizen.
Sir. Reed would have been generally
acceptable, but he wouldn't have It,
and Mr. Morton's nomination would
have been inadvisable owing to the
Piatt domination. Altogether the re
publican convention was the most
satisfactory of recent years.
The present standard is gold. The
existing standard means gold. The
republican party believes in the main
tenance of the existing standard.
Therefore It is eminently fit and proper
Chat the platform should declare for
the gold standard. It is not republican
policy to beat the devil around the
stamp. Now for the clear cut Issue
sound money vs. free coinage of silver.
-There is plenty of room in the band
wagon for the democrats who will
be disgusted at the action of the Chi
cago convention.
Nebraska has been well advertised
to the people of the country as a sound
money state. One or two of the dele
gates showed a disposition to wobble
on the money question, but every vote
of the delegation, every movement
made by it was for or tended in the di
rection of sound money. In this re
spect this state is entitled to' equal
credit with Massachusetts and New
York and Pennsylvania. Peter Jan
Ben; the Nebraska member of the com
mittee on resolutions, in explaining his
vote, said:
"God hates cowards and every hon
est man does the same, and therefore,
on 1 behalf of the republicans of the
state of Nebraska. I shall vote fortbe
resolution which declares for the gold
'standard and says just what it
means."
The Nebraska delegation lo the na
tional convention must have spent
most of their time being photographed.
Scarcely any metropolitan paper of any
note neglected to picture our delegates,
'The New Tork World had a speaking
likeness of the Honorable Linger
Longer Lindsey and ' Messrs.
Cowln, "Webster, et aL And by
the' way, Mr., Lindsey seems to
have conducted .himself In a most be
coming manner. He was described as
a modest, well-behaved delegate. We
have counted just fourteen humlred
- and ninety-three portraits of Thurston
just in the papers that come, to The
Courier office. The Chicago Tribune
'had a fine double, column picture of
Tom -Kenaard, and it was so beautiful
that it reconciled most of us to the
fact that the editor emeritus of The
State Journal decided not to attend the
convention as a delegate. And there
was a similarly fine portrait of Peter
.Jensen, the bold gold man, antt of other
Nebraska delegates. The Times-Herald
made a specialty of our delegates, and
the Record printed a picture of Charles
-G. Dawe with- the inscription, "The
Man Who Carried Illinois for McKin
Tey." One day, before any of the dele
gates arrived in St. Louis, the Tribune
bowed a group of Nebraskans.
W. S. Summers, Frank Collins
and the Honorable L. L. Lindsey.-
Now Summers wasn't in 8t
Louis at all, and the people, who believe
la the infallibility of newspapers are
puzzleti.
Since Mr. Bryan's private secretary
ceased his duties as editor of the
Evening News that paper has made a
radical change in its opinions on the
money question. Along about two
years ago the News thought the coun
try was crying for the free and un
limited coinage of silver, and it cried
too. That was during, the time that
the News was throwing an anchor to
the windward of populism. Lately our
evening contemporary has manifested
a greater independence and Is less
demagogic It now believes in protect
ing the money of the nation from the
assaults of the destructionlsts, and
doesn't hesitate to say what it thinks.
On the whole it is much better to have
a republican do the editing for a re
publican ' newspaper than to turn
the jobs over to a demo-pop.
What .was said In these columns last
week about the concerted movement
-in Omaha to rob Lincoln and the smal
ler cities of the state of all commercial
Importance was strictly true. Bat
.there is little probability that the vari
ous schemes will work. They have been
tried before. Still Lincoln and her
.natural allies among ths cities and
-towns of the interior should be on their
guard.
Congressman Strode has made a pub
lic explanation of his vote on the river
aad harbor bilL The people of the
First district, regardless of politics,
are with Mr. Strode In his position on
the river and harbor steal, and it is
set necessary for him to offer any
explanations.
Rev. Frank 'Crane; who used to be
in Omaha and who used to keep the
newspapers filled "with his pulpit ed
itorials, Is now in Chicago, and every
Monday morning the Record has a
column -or so of the familiar editorials.,
These editorials deal with everything
under the sua, from a dog fight to a
national convention, and are worked
off In -advance of the regular sermon
on Sunday. Mr Crane is an advanced
minister. He believes in putting
himself between yellow covers and
Issuing himself as an illustrated sen
sational weekly. He is to the ministry
what "The Black Cat" and "The
Standard" are to literature. He is ad
vanced in the same way that the
woman who wears bloomers to church
and picks her teeth with a gold pen
Is advanced. The people are getting
too many editorials. Church goers
are getting very few real sermons.
Omaha has undertaken a big job In
the trans-Mississippi exposition project,
but the .people of the metropolis appear
to have gone into the enterprise In the
proper spirit and have manifested much ,
earnestness. They will probably be
successful. The whole state of Ne
braska will be benefited and every
loyal Nebraskan should lend a hand to
make the exposition the greatest show'
on earth.
THE EDITOR.
COUNTT POLITICS.
The fact that the county convention
was delayed till September 3 has put a
.temporary quietus on the canvass -for
the nomination for treasurer. The
postponement was a blow to the Gra
ham forces, and it will be much more
difficult to nominate this candidate in
September than it, would have been in
this month or even July. John Calhoun
Fremont McKesson says "he is not a
candidate. Major Pierce was stronger
than most people thought he would be
at the recent meeting of the county
central committee, and he. will be a'
leading candidate. Mr. Sullivan, the
present incumbent, appears to be hold
ing his own, while Aaron Buckstaff
and Klmmel are keeping an eye. on
their respective wards. Charley Bran
son will be a factor In the fight. Some
botty started a rumor that his candi
dacy was in the interest of some other
aspirant. He desires The Courier to
Eay his candidacy is solely in the in
terest of Branson.
Mr. C. A. Wlrick has just received a
"Lady Ide Bicycle" and we are pleased
to aote that Lincoln has at least been
favored with an agency of this- most
popular and superior wheel.
The lady that is fortunate enough to
secure this wheel can be happy in the
fact that she has the best wheel on
the streets of Lincoln.
Though it costs a hundred it Is worth
every cent of It and cannot be bought
for less.
Beginning May 10th the Missouri Pa
cific will run a new fast daily train
leaving Lincoln at 3:20 p. m.. arriving
at Kansas City at 11:00 p. m. and at St.
Louis at 7:20 a. m., making direct con
nections at new St. Louis union sta
tion with all east bound trains.
