viii Seek Information.

ENDTcoTT, Neb., May 25.-To the Editor Of
TIE BEE: My views relative to the action of
the anti-monopoly conference are simply
these:
That the republican party is and has been
composed of men who have had, and still
have, the general welfare of the masses in
view, and that history of our state for the
last twenty years will record the fact; that
such interests have been reasonably well pro-
tected and cared for consequently my faith
in the deliberations of our party has not
abated in the least.
Further, the present republican state COM
mittee was selected by convention tnat rep
resented the party and so far as 1 am coE.-
cerned when they meet June f. 1 have conf
denCe in in their ability to determine whether
it is to the best interest of the party to hold
an early or late convention, irrespective of
the interests of any would-be candidate for
governor, or any other state Office
AS a member of said committe | shall make
an effort to gain all the information | can in
the matter pertaining to what in my estima-
tion would be to the best interest of the peo-
pie in general and to our party in particular,
avoiding the advancement Of any candidate
for Office and will govern my actions in ac
cordance to the above statement of principles.
Respectfully yours. II. c. DAWSON.

The Resolutions Demand Respect.

York, Neb,, May 24,-To the Editor of THE
Bee While have given little thought to
the question of an early convention, believe
that the opinions of the men who met in Lin
coin on tho 20th should be respected Us far as
the interests of the party will admit. 1t may
have been good policy for them to attempt to
force the republican central committee by
threats of an Independent convention, but it
was not republican, and in my opinion, will
not have ms much influence with the commit
tee rs the sections which preceded it.
Experience has taught us that proxies are
dangerous to the interests of the people and
/, the party, A proxy feels no responsibility to
the constituency which chose his principal,
uuu actually represents no one but himself in
the convention. am heartily in sympathy
with that portion of the resolutions which OPP
poses the admission of proxies.
The object of the state central committee
should be TO give all republicans fair and
equal opportunity to be heard in the party
councils aud TO assist in the selection of party
candidates, and have no doubt this will be
the aim of the committee

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., May 27-[Special
to The Bel speaking of the special
session of the legislature, Senator Frank w,
Ransom of Omaha claimed that, having never
disposed of his property at Nebraska City, he
was still resident of this place and entitled
to his seat in the senate, Mr. Ransom is of
the opinion that the railroads are earning
only fair per cent on their investments, and
he does not believe that there will be much
anti-railroad legislation.
Hon. John Q. Watson, speakerof the house,
was too much surprised to express an opinion
of a special session, but supposed Governor
Thayer knew what he was doing, and had
weighed the matter well.

NonFoLK, Neb., May 24-To the Editor of
TnE BEE: 1t is difficult for me to express in
concise manner my views on the action taken
by the anti-monopoly convention at Lincoln.
In my Judgment it may result in great good
to the republican party, or may be fraught
with great danger, and result in disaster, at
least temporarily.
Having been with the minority in the
"Hastngs" convention last fall, and feeling
perhaps as keenly as any one our defeat,
am not at loss to understand the causes
which led to the calling of the conference at
Lincoln. Such conference, it occurs to me-
might with propriety be called at any time,
and perhaps if the body of republicans in the
state met more frequently and consulted to-
gcther fully, fairly and honestly, with pur-
pose of correcting evils in the party, great
good would be accomplished in the purifca-
ton of our state politics.
The difficulty. however, which l anticipate
might arise, would be in attempting to ac-
comrlish personal ends and transforming
such conferences called avowedly for public
veal into caucuses in the interests of ambi-
tious politicians
am not pleased with the action of the
conference with reference to the calling of a
convention for the reason that it savOrs of
the revolutionary. Good republicans will al
ways bow with submission to the will of the
majority.
am in favor of an early convention and
being member of the state central commit
tee shall favor an early call. But if for any
reason the committee should fail to comply
with the demands of the conference it could
certainly be productive of no ultimate good
for self appointed committee to issue call
which no good republican would recognize,
and which, if recognized, would only place
third ticket in the field and render the cleo
tion of n democratic ticket not only possible
but extremely probable.
The republican party has always Deen
found great enough to correct evils within
Itself. Instead, therefore, of disrupting the
party by tho proposed course it would be in
tinitely more desirable and productive of
much more good if the great body of the
people of republican Affiliations would arise
in their might and assume control of the
party and through the proper channels secure
the nomination and election of men to the
various offices of the state who will correct
existing evils as far as may be- This can be
done If tho electors will attend the primaries
and select delegates who will represent them
AS to the question of denying the right of
representation by proxy, have some doubt
ns to the eXpediency of an arbitrary rule of
that character, but have no doubt that many
of the evils of the proxy system would be
overcome by the selection of alternates.
Yours for republicanism,
ID. A. HOLMES.

Favors Regulation of Railroads.

AvocA, Neb., May 24.-To the Editor Of
THE BEE.--Your card asking my views ION
the action taken by the anti-monopoly repub-
lican conference at hand.
] am in hearty accord with any movement
in the republican party having the object Of
proper regulation Of the railroads of the state.
/ think, however, the proper way TO arrive at
that regulation is through state commission,
chosen by and responsible to the people, and
am in favor Of an amendment to the constitu-
tion providing for the same.
The reason l am in favor Of this is that
from my knowledge of the workings of
legislatures am satisfied that after giving
the hundreds of bills submitted at every seS-
sion the consideration which is necessary to
protect the interests of their constituents,
there is not time enough left to master the
details and technical knowledge necessary
for doing justice in an intelligent manner be-
tween the people and the railroads. COM
mission, well paid and personally responsible,
would be able after reasonable time to bring
to the problem that mastery of the question
which its magnitude demands.
In regard TO proxies, | think we might
safely try the experiment of leaving them out
this year at least. The editor of The BEE
knows have no personal reason to admire
them.
In regard to an early convention l have
enough to give ample time for the canvass of
the abilities and trustworthiness of the can
didatcs. / think however, the conference
made amistalie III its resolution demanding
date not later than July s, and coupling its
demand with "A threat of calling a state con-
vcntiOn If the central committee should for
any reason fail to call the convention by that
time.
In the first place have farmed in Nebraska
long enough TO know that for actual farmers
that or an earlier date would be as inconven-
lent as could possibly be picked out just IN
harvest time, when a farmer Is almost com
PEELED to give his time and attention strictly
to his business, so that | should fear from
the masses a = small attendance at the
primaries.
Secondly, the conference was, as l under
stand it, in the interest of the republican
party, and think, however great my respect
for the gentlemen composing it, that upon no
theory of which / can conceive they had the
right to say that in case the constituted
authorities of that party, for whatever
reason, should fail to call convention at
certain date (and that date, to say the least,
of questionable propriety), that they, self
constituted, should proceed to act for the
party
/ should like to SEQ the convention called
at a time that would be the most convenient
to the men who work; any time will suit the
other people.
| should like it to be composed of thought
full, earnest men who have tho welfare of the
state, and not altogether their personal adj
vanccment at heart, and l should like it to
nominate men who will command tho conf
dencc of the people and receive good ma
iority TOR | believe the republican party is
the peoples friend and within it's ranks all
true reforms will be carried to full fruition.
