WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.

Harrison Warmly Endorsed but Dele
gates Not Instructed.
MILWAUKEE,, May 5.-The Republican
state convention met here this after
noon. Ogden Fl. Fetliers of Janesville,
temporary chairman, made brief,
brilliant address, the convention cheer
ing heartily when he mentioned as
"every inch man, our model president,
Benjamin Harrison" When he spoke
OF that foremost man in the world, to
whom goes out now, as always, the
heart Of the Republican party. James
u. Blaine," there was moments hush ;
then the hall resounded with cheers,
renewed again and again.
Following is a summary of the plat
form adopted:
1t unqualifedIy endorsed President
Harrison as STRONG, efficient, patriotic,
exceptionally free from scandal and
wastefulness endorses the tariff legls-
lation OF the ffty-frst congress; de-
nounces the marrow parsimony" OF the
present Democratic congress as mis-
called economy, and says: "While we
favor the use Of both gold and silver as
money metals, under conditions which
budl SudpdAtc0 JutlT ClTCuldJAOA ~ q
continuing and substantial parity with
each other, under the existing circum-
stances, we are unalterably opposed to
free, unlimited coinage OF silver"
The movement for an international
silver conference is commended, and a
modification of the silver act of 1890, to
enable the president to regulate silver
purchases, is recommended. While the
administration of Harrison is strongly
endorsed, no mention is made OF in
structions to the delegates for him.
Loud cheers greeted the portion of the
platform referring to President Harrison
and Secretary Rusk, while the protec-
ton paragraph received a terrific roar.
The anti-silver coinage and free ballot
planks were warmly received.
Henry @. Paine of Milwaukee, ex-
United States Senator Spooner and Gen.
Lucius Fairchild were nominated dele
gates-at-large by acclamation. For the
fourth place Congressman Stephenson
was chosen.
The action Of Senator Villas in person
ally nominating in the Democratic con-
ventlon yesterday prominent Milwau-
kee German to head the list of presiden-
tial electors, was neatly paralleled for
VIC NopuUllCbuh ny H0ury VI GAyu0,
who glowingly eulogized John Pritzlaff,
and the latter, amid great enthusiasm,
was accepted by acclamation to lead the
roll of presidential electors in Wiscon-
sin.
Ole Larsen of Polk county was se-
lected as second elector-at-large.
II. G. Thorn Of Madison was selected
chairman of the state COMMITTEES.
Replying to loud scalls, exs sSenafoR
Spopner made brief speech, He said
the country had not been given better
national administration in a century,
than during the Last four years. Presi-
dent Harrison had not pleased all the
Republican leaders, but the angel Ga
briel could not do it, and distribute
the Offices. As to the Mckinley
bill, the importers of New York
and London furnished the lies about
it, and the Democratic party the
liars. The free coinage of silver he an
nounced as simply an expedient to fur
nish market for the mineral product of
q Nevada county and part of the state of
Colorado, and device to scale the debts
of the south. The loss of Wisconsin in
the last state election, he declared. was
summed up in the Dogberry verdict on
man found killed by cars "Due to in
cident, accident and the work of an
incendiarv."
