MADISON, WIS.,, Sept. o--lne presence Oh
Gen. Logan in Madison and the popular
demonstration in his honor, combined with
the meeting Of the Republican state conven-
ton, has crowded the city with politicians
and sightseers. The Prohibitionists are also
here in force, urging their claims upon the
Republican party and preparing for their
state convention which occurs tomorrow.
The Republican state convention was
called to order at 1915 by Chairman Taylor,
of the state central committee, who urged
that the business be conducted with dispatch
owing to the mass meeting to be addressed
by Gen. Logan. He thought that proceed
ings could be finished early because of the
unanimous desire that the present state Off
GERS be nominated. Secretary Payne, of the
central committee read list of the delegates
whose credentials had been approved. A
permanent organization was effected by the
nomination of Ogden H. Feathers, of James
vile, as presiding officer, there being no
! temporary organization. On assuming the
chair Mr.. Feathers thanked the convention
in strong Republican speech. Leland, of
Fond du Lac and II. II. Price, of Jackson
county, were elected secretaries.
On motion of II. G. Fairchild the chair ap-
pointed the committee on resolutions, one
delegate from each congressional district
and one from the state at large. The motion
prevailed that all resolutions presented to
the convention be referred to the committee
on resolutions without debate. While the
committee on resolutions was out the con-
vention gave its attention to the nomination
of state officers. Judge Humphreys moved
that the present state officers be renominated
by acclamaton, and the motion prevailed
wit hout debate.
The nominees are Gov. Jeremiah NJ. Rusk,
of Veroqua; 1t. Gov. Samuel S. Fifeld, of
Ashland; Secretary of State Ernst g. Timme,
of Kenosha; State Treasurer Edward c. Nc
Fetridge, of Beaver DAM Attorney General
Learder F. Frisby, of Milwaukee; State Sup
erintendent of Public Instructions Robt
Graham, of Oshkosh; Railroad Com missioner
n. P. Hoagen, of River Falls; Insurance
Commissioner P. L. Spooner, Jr., of Mad
ison.
The chair appointed committee to wait
on the state officers and request their pres
ence before the convention.
AT 10 the committee on resolutions re-
ported the following platform, which was
adopted without discussions:
The Republicans of Wiscon sin, believing
that the best interests of the whole people re-
quire the continued supremacy of Repub-
lican principles in the state and national af-
fairs, do re-affrm the declaration of these
principles as embodied in the platform OF the
national Republican convention recently
held in the city Of Chicago.
We recognize in Hon. Jas. g. Blaine and
Hon. John A Logan, the Republican nomi
nees for president and vice president, those
commanding qualities of character and
craftsmanship which have brought about the
establishment of these principles and gave
the best assurances of their continued sue
cess.
The honest and efficient administrations
the affairs of the state by the present state
officials, commend them TO the admiration
and confidence of the people Of this com
monwealth.
The state officers were introduced'and spoke
briefly their cknowledement for the honor
conferred.
No resolutions were reported back. An.
drew E. Elmore pressed resolutions urging
the necessity for a system of examining
banks every six months. Henry C. Payne
introduced resolution that the Republican
party Of Wisconsin was opposed to the EN-
ployment of convict labor in the penal insti
tutions of the state. Both were ignored.
The convention adjourned with three ring
ing cheers for Blaine and Logan.
LOGAN SPEAKS.
MADISON, Sept. 3.-At D. m. an open al
mass meeting was held in the park in from
of the capitol building, fully 5000 people re
ceiving Gen. Logan with prolonged cheer
ing. The great Republican was introduced
, by Gen. Fairchild, and spoke for about thrt
minutes. Gen. Logan, in opening, dwell
t upon the fact that every one writes hi
) own history, and marks marks out dis
tinctive path of its own. So with the Demo
cratic party. Its course was indelibly i'm
pressed upon the history of the country in
manner that no one should envy. The
, Democratic party represented the Englisl
t interests as against the American
E interests. Its monuments were bull
t to free trade, state banks, a rottel
t and deprecated currency, states rights an,
7 slavery. The Democrats Of the south wrot
their principle in blood. The Democrats o
the north united with the south after the re
D bellion was crushed, and formed the sam,
party as before, upholding the same platform
T and supporting the same candidates fo
office. The Democrats had opposed ever
advance measure for the last twenty-five
e years. Their monuments were raised ovel
e false creeds, failures in craftsmanship, tn
putrid carcass of secession, and the DIR
bones of state sovereignty. Their platform
I would have to be referred to the suprem
court for defined construction. The letter
of acceptance of the candidates on the Dem
T ocratic ticket gave no clue to their views ol
p the living issues of the day.
, The Republican party threw the light O
n scrutiny upon it and its principles and in
vited an inspection. The platform of tn
