wards renewed and permanent pros
perity. In the performances OF these
duties, and that such results may be
attained in the face OF the grave diff
ticulties that surround the situation
throughout our nation, the republican
party Of Wisconsin must do its full
share, faithfully and efficiently, and to
that end should select from among Its
many able leaders with cool deliber.
alton and without discord, the one
whose record proves him to be the
most intlexible guardian OF the law
and of equity, the most sagacious con.
seryator of peace, the wisest counsel
Tor, the most honest, most determined
and yet most prudent executive, and
To his aid should invite the patriotic
60 cooperation of every citizen without
regard to past party affiliations. The
past is dead; let ii be buried with its
achievements and its mistakes; the
future is ours; let us accept its respon.
sibilities, like patriotic citizens, faith
fully, firmly, equitably, wisely. and
deal with those responsibilities like
men"

AFTERNOON.
After recess till 3 p. m, the con-
yention got TO work anew, and made
the first organization permanent. John
A. Johnson, of Dane, and several 9th
er delegates offered resolutions, all OF
which were, under rule previously
adopted referred without being read
to the committee on resolutions. NJ !.
G. Jeffris, OF Rock, who had not come
as delegate was admitted as a proxy,
together with one or two others not
SO well known. Then resolution of
much interest was sprung. 1t pro-
provided chiefly that no nominating
speeches be made. This created bub-
bub among the delegates and cheers
all around the galleries. On a stand
ing vote the resolution was declared
by the tellers adopted by 16I to 145,
but some sceptic In a front seat was
disposed to question the accuracy of
the count and a ballot was ordered
amid applause Before the count went
very far it was clear the ants were
the stronger. Danes 13 were sold
against the resolution and only . OIL;
Of Milwaukees 40 were in favor OF
cutting the convention short and thus
infringing on the rights of cream city
hotel keepers The resolution was re-
.jected by vote of 210 to 1876, aud the
oratorlcai element became rampant
with enthusiasm, but motion at once
prevailed to limit nominating speeches
TO minutes each, only one for a can
didate, and seconding speeches Of no
greater length, and this was partial
consolation for the opposition, A
little discussion arose over the method
Of making nominations. The central
committee had agreed TO rule that
the voting for candidates be by dis
trict but that no announcement OF the
result Ivy districts be made till all dis
tricts had voted this to prevent one
district from changing its vote after
others had voted to the disadvantage
OF the latter. The convention adopted
the rule, with an amendment offered
by w. e. Carter, OF Grant, providing
that the chairmen of district delega-
tons announce their votes by coun-
ties.
The committee on resolutions made
the subjolned report, which was
adopted with hurrah:
1--WE reatfirm the platform adopted
at the national republican convention
and also the platform adopted at the
state convention il 1892, and renew
our pledges to the people.
''The present condition Of the coun-
try, resulting from the threatened
change in its industrial policy inaugu-
rated by the democratic party, the hun
dreds of factories and workshops
closed down, the thousands of men
out OF employment, are the best wit
nesses that can be brought to testify
to the wisdom of the policy Of protcc-
ton to home Industries which has al
ways been sustained and fostered by
the republican party The republican
party is the friend OF both labor and
capital. Each is Indispensable to the
other.
