Mr., Thurston came on the platform
and thanked the convention for the
honor conferred upon him for the see
ond time delegate 10 the national con
vention. He was followed by Mr..
EGan, who promised to vote for man
whom the party would not be ashamed

The committee on resolutions then
presented the following:
THE PLATFORM.
We, the representatives Of the repul
hcan party OF the state 1T Nebraska. In
convention assembled, do hereby con
denim and arrnigu the demucrtic part,
and its administration OF public affair
! for its failure 10 keep the promises i.
made in its platform AMI by it's leaders
| of the campaign OF 1884; for DENYING 10
| the people of Dakota the rights VI Stat,
| hood; for its failure To reduce the suf
| plus by reduction Of taxes and proper
| and necessary expenditures for hubble
| improvements; for the effort ii Is now
making to tear down tue American gvs
! TEN uf protection, f0stered and built M
by the republican party around the
farm and factories Of America.
As the business of tile country nos
demands revision the republican party
alive to tue demands of every materiu
interest, will see to ii that such revision
shall be made at the earliest practica
day. We condemn the action Of ill.,
( democratic majority in congress, thu.
after repeated pledges Of tariff reform
It has utterly failed, while having
large majority in the house Of reprr
sentatiges, where tariff bills must origi
nate, to bring about such reform whirI
must come from the party that has exc
been the friend Of the American lntOrrf
and producer.
We denounce the Mills bill AZ nm A.
tempt to force free trade upon tbe
farms and manufactures and working
men OF the north while giving protec-
ton to the sugar and cotton planter Of
tln south Under democratic admin.
lstrntIon great corporations have formed
trusts, and no attempt has been made
ny the democracy in power 10 check
their growth. We condemn President
Cleveland IN the use he has made Of tho
veto power and in ordering the return
OF the rebel Tags, thereby disgracing an
once that las been hOnOred by Wash. |
