expressed his gratitude to the people of
Omaha for the demonstration of their ap-
proval Of the part he took at the Chicago
convention His only aim was to do honor
to his party and the state he is so Justly
proud of. Nebraska was looked upon in Chi.
Cago as only little state, entitled to only ten
delegates out of S25. 1t was not necessary to
give Nebraska anything, as its vote was
sure for the republican ticket. But the boys
of Nebraska went there to win, and it was
due to them that he received what hOnOrs
were accorded him. He next thanked the
newspapers, regardless of politics, for their
kind treatment of him, and Church
Howe Tor his efforts in advancing him
to the honorable position he was elected to.

The Chicago convention met as delibera-
g l.
continued Mr. Thurston, for the purpose of
nominating men who would be acceptable to
the republican party. y ticket has been
nominated that will sweep the winds at the
November polls. For one. Mr.. Thurston
was anxious to see James G.. Blaine nomi-
mated, and had he never written those letters
there would not have been any other candid
ate before the convention. or all the men
who voice the sentiments of an American in
the judgment and wisdom of the republican
party in selecting Mr.. Harrison none are
more sincere than James c. Blaine. The re
publican party is sure to win on its platform.
1t is sure to win because we claim that pro.
lection is the champion of American labor
and American industries. The intelligence
of the American people is such that they will
not stand free trade, for it mterfereS with
their prosperity and the prosperity of the
nation. We have placed at the head of our
ticket Il man who has fought for his country,
and did not send a substitute to the war as
did Grover Cleveland. Harrison has proven
himself loyal to the American government
and its principles, true man and an up
right, honest man. He will be elected, and
will carry Indiana as sure as a musllmelon
ripens in July sun. The republican party
has a man udon whose record they do not
have to shut the door. The republican party
marches under the stars and stripes, and
does not dwell under the shadow of q ban
dana.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Thurstons speech
the band played THE Red, White and Blue, "
and Paul Nandervoort then came to the front
and expressed his JOY to see so large crowd
turn out to receive Mr. ThUrstou, who had
been so sgnaLly hOnOred in Ch cago. 1t was
an honor to the great prairie state of Ne
braslia. Mr.. NandervOOrt related his personal
choice for presidents IL years gone by, and
said that this year he knew that it was ncccs-
sary to have n soldier at the head of the
ticket, which they now had in Mr.. Harrison
who will go through the campaign without Il
spot or blcmlsh on his character Mr. Nor
ton, too, is an exceptionally pure and honest
man, with clean record far beyond the
realms of attack. This campaign will not be
of caluInny ana SANDER 1t will be one of
principles, and he closed by appealing to the
republicans TO organize and give larger ma
jority for their ticket this year than ever be-
fore.
