braska in their treatment of Governor Boyd.
There was great cheering by Boyd's
friends. and il began to look as if the Boyd
men had succeeded and had the convention
well in hand. Judge J. Fl. Broody was
nominated judge of the supreme court;
F. o. Brogan for regent OF the state
university; Capt. F. S. Heneker, a
farmer, was also nominated. and both
he and Brogan like Broody were selected

nounce the one-sided reciprocity plan
by the present administration,
which invites commercial intercourse
only with nations which buy our manu-

purchase our surplus of agri-
cultural products, as an attempt
to continue to favor manufacturing
industries ia another form, with advantages
which they have under the system of pro-
lection. That all legislation upon the sub
Jet shall give 10 the interest of the farmer
equal consideration with other classes of
society.
We favor the free coinage of silver and
that it be made full legal tender for all
debts, public or private, and we denounce
as unjust and dishonest the provision
of the law recently enacted allowing
parties to stipulate against payment in sill
Yer and silver certificates, thus setting up
one standard for the rich man and another
for the poor man.
We denounce as suggestive of partisan
prejudice the indecent haste shown in is
suing the writ of custer against james
IL. BOyd, CHOSEN governor, denying
TO him that courtesy and fair treat
ment usually accorded to the meanest
criminal in the land and we regret that
man could be found within the bounds of
the state willing to remain upon a techni-
cality without equity i'll an Office TO which
another was called by vote Of the people.
The platform demands 4 tariff for reve-
nue., limited to the necessities of q govern

upon the free list, greatly reducing the
burden of the necessaries of life and of i'm
posing the heaviest duties upon luxuries.
The platform as a whole was adopted
without amendment.
1t was now nearly midnight, and the con-
vention had no other business in sight, but
it had come prepared for a daylight adj
journment, and a genuine Democratic love
feast was the result.
The convention did not adjourn till long
after midnight.
