HARRISON Promises to Act square.
On motion of Hichards the nomination was
made unanimous. Judge Harrison was in
troduced to the convention and said that to
merely say that he appreciated the honor
conferred by theVtO men representing the
republican party of the state was an honor
that no lawyer could help but profoundly
feel and appreciate, and all such must real
lie What II was to aspire TO the supreme
bench. The object of the law was to right
all wrongs, and he could only say that if
elected he would promise to administer it
fairly and without any prejudices and in the
interest OF all the people of the state like.
Tue convention Immediately adjourned till
2:3O o'clock.

Named the Regents.
me convention was called to order at 3
O'Clock. Nominations for candidates for re-
gents, were called for and made without

brook of Douglas, j. b. Conway of York.
). Is. A. Taylor of Chase, Charles Weston of
sheridan and r.. w. Lawson of Richardson.

Conway, 322; Dobbs, 237; Lawson, SO; lay
Tor, IS; Needam, 2; Bud Lindsey, |: ID. G.
Courtney, |.
1t had been understood that the two can.
uluates receiving the highest number of
votes should be nominees for the full term
ana the third highest the nominee tor the
uneXgired term, but Graham of Gage pro.
tested that Haley had not received a ma
Jorlty OF the votes and that he was not
entitled to the nomination.. In order to
settle the matter another ballot was taken.
but everything went Kaley's way, and be-
fore the call was half completed somebody
moved that his nomination be made unani-
nous. Geld.
This completed the actual work of the
convention.
The committee on resolutions was not vet
ready to report. The convention decided to
listen to Il few speeches. They called ont
Weston and Haley and applauded their brief
expressions of gratitude. Then the conven.
ton wanted Estabrook. A Douglas county
delegate said that Estabrook was not
present, but Oman could furnish a substi-
tute who might make Il pretty good speech.
Tho convention WAS quick to take the hint,
and Immediately commenced to call for John
l.. Webster. as the distinguished gentle
man took the platform he was greeted with
cneers. MIR. Webster spoke in substance as
follows:
Mr.. Webster Tells n Story.
"My Fellow Republicans: l suppose 7 am
to speak for Mr.. Estabrook. I want to say
to you. fellow republicans, that we have
nominated people VINO shall be elected bv
the republican party. Why, it has only been
about one year ago, when we were living in
the very sunlight Of prosperity, we turned
TINS great country Of ours over TO the demo-
cratic party. Today'wea are suffering from the
direct result of the democratic rule of op-
preston. | want to tell you d story thai
seems to Illustrate the situation. that
heard today. When a certain member of
the republican party was asked if he would
support the ticket he announced that he
would, but that ii would be under something
OF n protest. 1t reminded me of a story of a
man who went home to his dinner one day
ana found that his steak was not cooked
Juot u SNlb Hill. sometimes Ine roast
did not SUIT his taste or the bread was
not cooked enough, and he began
TO complain about the household that every
thing was wrong. So one day his wife met
MN at the door with "A motto in her hands and
said: John, | have made this with my own
hands, He said: My dear wife, that is a
very handsome thing. What are YOU going
to do with itl' She said: 1 an going to
hang 1t on the door leading into our parlor,
with the motto, God Bless Our Home."'
The husband says: will you make an
other one for me!' She says: Yes: What
shall the words ber He said: I'want the |
words on that which shall hang on the
door leading into the kitchen, cd d-n
our cook."' Now, | want to lust add one
more motto to this platform which will read
something like the motto over the kitchen.
and want TO hang it up over the door of
the republican that Will not support the re- |
publican ticket from top to bottom" Long
and continued applause.
Church fI"we on Harmony
Church Howe responded to repeated calls. |
His remarks were brief but to the point. He
spoke for harmony in the following strain.
w come forward to battle with more
harmony than we have had in many years. |
You have, in chooSing a candidate for the SUI
preme bench, selected, in my opinion, very
wisely. | have been looking for harmony IN |
the republican party of Nebraska for Il good
while. came here last night looking for it.. |
There Is an old tombstone down in my old
native state, Massachusetts, which SAYS: Il
expected this, but not so soon.' And | think |
that is all ! need TO say. Republicans, bury |
your differences. There never was in the
history Of the republican party so much that |
looks like success as we see today. All it |
needs in this state is thai you shall vote |
your sentiments. BE republicans. That is
all. You have the votes, you have the can
didates, you have the party with a record;
all you need TO do Is to stand up like men, |
shoulder to shoulder, and be republicans. |
Don't praise the cook or d-n the cook, but
go about your business and vote the repub-
lican ticket. Never mind personal differ
enCeS." I,
Majors on Party Success.
Lieutenant Governor Majors also re-
spOnded to repeated invitations to speak. |
Among other things he said;
Let us go to victory in the spirit of har-
mony and determination made manifest in |
this convention and we will yet win the
brightest and most glorious future for this
grand ommon wealth. OF ours and this glori-
Gus nation of ours That was ever witnessed
on the face OF Gods green earth. Let us be
harmonious. No good can come of bicker-
ings. All fractional feelings should sink into
insignificance. The best living evidence
that there is perfect living harmony and
that there are no differences we cannot set
tie is the fact that any FREUD Howe and
stand today united,"r
