 LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 24.-The republi.
 can state convention was called to order al
 10 o'clock by Chairman Watson of the
 state central committee. In his address, MT. Watson said: If the signs are true, the republican national convention at Omaha [cheers] in 1892 will nominate the next president of the United States and that man will be the glorious captain of the gallant ship of state, the skillful navi- gator, the fearless leader, the brilliant, matchless Blaine. At the mention of the name of Blaine 8 secret cord from the rear was touched and the portrait of MT. Blaine dropped in sight. The effect was magical. Five hundred delegates instant ly sprang to their feet, and cheer after cheer resounded through the hall for the distinguished secretary of state.
 In concluding his speech Chairman Wat son introduced Hon. George w. Thummel of Grand Island as the temporary chair man of the convention. Chairman Thum- meps speech consisted mostly in predicting republican success. Among the resolu- tions introduced and referred to the con- mittee was one extending the greeting of the convention to the republicans, who are so nobly battling for the principles of the party for honest money, a reform and 6 fair protective tariff and for MT. Blaine's idea for reciprocity. [Cheers].
 The committee on resolutions immediate ly met and began the formation of plat form.
 On reassembling the platform wal pre- scented and adopted. It renewed its pledge of allegiance to the principles of the re- publican party, spoke of the rapid devel- opment of the state under republican rule. the silver act under the present by which the products of the mines of the United States is added to the currency of the people, but we de- nounce the democratic doctrine of the free and unlimited coinage of silver as finsn- cial policy able to precipitate the people of every city and every state in the Union in @ prolonged and disastrous depression and delay the revival of business enterprises and prosperity so ardently desired and now apparently near. The free and un- limited coinage of silver would tend co oho hooioiiS oA SoAo oau AoASc the use of cheap money in the payment of wages in every workshop, mill, store and farm, and tend to the scaling down of the wages of the toilers already depressed, and weakening the pur- chasing power of the dollar which would be used to purchase the product of farm ers. We are in favor of having every dol lar as good as any other dollar; we demand the maintenance of the American system of protection to American industry and labor; the policy that has been identified with every period of our national pros perity and we recognize the heroic genius of that statesman, William Mckinley, Jr.; we also commend and endorse that policy of reciprocity by which the Central and South American nations and the Spanish Indies are being opened up to our trade upon favorable terms.
 A ticket was nominated headed by A. NJ. Post for associate justice of the su- preme court and the convention ad- ourned.
