ton of the name of Blaine a core from the
rear was touched n a portrait of the SEQ
rotary of state dropped in sight. The effect
was magical. Five hundred delegates i'm
msdiately sprang to their feet and cheered.
Immediately after the reconvening of the
convention the chairman of the platform
committee reported and the platform was
adopted. 1t congratulates President Har-
rison on his wise and courageous
administration, pledging him support in
the discharge of dates devolving upon
him as chief magistrate of tho nation. 1t
continues as follows: 1--WE rejoice in the
restoration of vigor and craftsmanship in
tho condsot of our foreign affairs under the
guiding hand of Americas favorits son,
James g.. Blaine. We approve of the silver
coinage act OF the present administration
by which the entire product OF the silver
mines Of the United States is added to the
currency of the people; but we denounos
the democratic doctrine of the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver as a financial
policy liable to p%recipitate on the people of
every city and every state in the union pro-
longsd and disasterous depression. and to
delay the revival OF business enterprise and
prosperity SO ardently desired, and now ap-
parentiy 80 near. The free and unlimited
coinage Of silver would tend to the hoard
ing of gold, and force the use OF cheap
money in payment of wages in every work
shsp, mill, factory, store and farm, n
tend to the scaling down Of the wages of
toilsrs already depressed, and to the weak
ening of the purchasing power of the dollar
which would be used to purchase the pro-
ducs Of farmers. We are IN favor of h av-
ing every dollar as good as any other
dollar.
eve demand the maintenance of the
American system Of protection to Ameri-
can industry and labor, a policy that has
been identified with every period of our
national prosperity, and we admire the
genius Of that heroic statesman, VIM. Nc
Kinley, Jr., whom the people of Ohio will
make their next governor in recognition of
his magnificent service to the country. We
also commend and endorse that policy of
reciprocity by which Central and South
American states, and the Spanish Indies
are being opened up to our trade Upon ia
vorable terms, and by which all surplus
products Of this country may find a market,
and by which all of our people shall receive
In exchange therefor a long line of pro-
ducts which do not produce ruinous compe-
tItlon among our own people. nor destroy
a developing industry of our country"

ter referring with pride to the progress of
the state and pledging legislation for the
benefit OF, the industrial population, the
platform proceeds as follows:
w denounce the Grand Island platform

friendship for the soldier, while at the
same Tins the democratic party has always
proclaimed against granting liberal pen
sions. The free silver plank ia inthnded to
deceive the supporters of the fres and I'M
limltsd coinage of silver, as it is known
that many of the leaders of that party are
opposed to that doctrine. Failure to give
the people relief from exorbitant freight
rates, while it was afraid to either approve
or censure the actions of its acting alien
governor for vetoing the Newbury bill. We
d%enounoe the democratic party for its in
preme court of the state as an effort to
make the judicial power subordinate to
parties, and as dlsgraceful to a political
organization. We denounce the democrat
lc party for it's double dealings with the
OWL and political rights of the people
and untrammeled election in the state
of Nebraska, but never raises its
voice against political outrages practiced
against republican voters. white and black,
throughout the democratic states Of the
south. We arraign the democratic party as
an enemy to labor, scherning to break down
the defense of protection laws, to block the
wheels OF home industry and to degrade the
mass OF people-a party controlled BY the
ar1stocracy and of r~eaotionary tendency,
the Legacy OF slavery. The republican,
party appeals to the intelligence and to the
integrity of the people of this state, and
from all good citizens we invite support
The following resolution was adopted;
Resolved, by the delegates of the republi-
can party of Nebraska, in convention as
sembled, that we demand, "a a matter of
right, that ths national republican conven-
ton OF 1892 be held west Of the Mississippi
river, to The end that she great states west
OF that river, containing, as they do, more
than one-third of the entire population of
the United States, and wherein the republic
can party has always been loval to the ma
tional republican ticket,,mny be recognized.
We most earnestly join the action of the
great republican party of Iowa, ex-
pressed by their convention july
!. in naming Omaha as the
place where the said convention
should be held, and to this end we most re-
spectfully demand consideration at the
hands of the national republican commit
tee when 1t shall meet to name tho time
and place of the holding of such conven-
tion."
For associate ~iustice of the supreme
court, A. NJ. Post, present district Judge of
Crete, was nominated on the fourth ballot.

a.. Shurnway, Of DAWSON county, and Chas.
Marph, of Douglas county, were nominated
