A Straw for Tilden.

CHICAGO, April IA Columbus, Ne

State Convention elected George L..
Miller, J. Stirling Morton, j. +. North,
J. W. Pollock, K. s. Maloney and +. A.
Harmon, all Tilden men, to the Con-
vention at Cincinnati. The platform is
hard money.
The delegation was chosen by three
fourths majority against all opposition,
and is solid for Tilden.
The Convention adopted a resolution
recommending the National Conven-
ton to adhere to the two.third rule in
nominating candidates for President,
deeming it inexpedient TO abrogate it;
that the result OF this Convention has
been reached after a severe contest
which took the form OF personal oppO-
sion TO DR.. Geo. Miller, as representa-
tive nlden man OF the State, "a recog
nized leader OF his party and q member

is generally believed that the rates
