REPUBLICANS IN NEBRASKA.
Nominations by Acclnmn tion-The NC
ktnley Bill Endorsed.


ktnley Bill Endorsed.
The work of the Nebraska republican
convention at Lincoln last night was by
reclamation, and goes down in the po-
litical history of Nebraska as the most
harmonious state meeting of republicans.
All the nominations were by reclamation
and were: Justice supreme court. s. l..
Norval; regents state university, Charles
H Morrell and H. L. Gould.
Norval is at present Justice of the SUI
rreme court IF the state.
The most exciting feature of the conven-
ton and one that t-nded for a moment to
disturb harmony was resolution intro
duced by D. D. Courtney. a Lancaster
county delegate. denouncing the A. P. A.
and all other secret political organizations.
Delegates tried to prevent its Introduction,
but it's author was determined to place the
convention on record whether it served a
good purpose temporarily or not. The A.
p. A. sentiment of few of the leaders
and political manipulators was too strong
for the opponents OF the oath-bound polit-
ical organization. and the measure was
referred to a committee without being
read, and never reappeared in spite of the
demands.
The platform was adopted with great en-
thusiasm. After denouncing the faliacies
of all other political parties and declaring
in favor of liberal pensions, the measure
says:
I'VE call upon all patriotic people ire
spective of former political affiliations to
join in assisting to bring back prosperity
to the state and nation by re-enacting pro-
lection to American industries on the basis
Of that splendid law, known as the Nc
KinIey act, thereby securing an adequate
revenue, while guarding the American
market for American products and fur
nishihg steady and permanent employment
of American labor at American wages and
returning to the beneficial system of COM
pfn1 cScenr A ,arf
can republics.
Favoring the use of both gold and silver
standard money, We oppose all monetary
legislation that would result in either gold
or silver monometallsm and demand the
maintenance of a national currency, every
dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or
paper, shall be of equal value and of equal
debt paying or purchasing power.
We denounce the democratic national
administration for its supine neglect Of
American interests in it's foreign policy
and its coWardly abandonment of the doc
trines OF The fathers of the republic, that
guarantees the friendly offices of this gov
eminent in favor of the Independent state
spoliation or conquest by any European
power.
I'VE most heartily sympathize with the
people of Cuba in their desire to attain
independence and Self-government, and
demand in case Spain makes good its
threat to wage a war of determination
against them, the prompt recognition of
the beligerent rights of the Cuban repub-
lie by the United States
The platform also makes a strong decla-
ration n favor of aiding irrigation.

As said at the beginning, this auda-
cious publication of the treaty whilst the
congress was still in sitting caused the
most profound sensation throughout Eu-
rope. Even Lac Grand, ambitious as he
was. must have been satisfied. His name
was in, every ones mouth. How had he
possibly managed to pluck from the diplo-
matists their Secret? For no one doubted
or, indeed, could doubt-that, in. the
main, the treaty as published in the Dial
was genuine. To the initiated 1t was clear
that it could not be q mere clever inven-
ton.
The, diploma lists themselves were in de-
spair. True, they maintained an appear
ance of serenity, but they were really at
their wits ends to know how to account
for the trick that had been playad upon
them, and how to repair the mischief that
had been done.
Or course, Trey did what diplofnatists al
ways do in such casesNthey disavowed the
treaty as published They could do this
safely, as, it was now a certainty, that
some Of the most important provisions
would have tc be modified; but this dis
avowa1 is such a stereotyped resource of
embarrassed diplomacy that it did not de-
ceive even the outside world. And. of
course, it could have no effect on their
own state of mind. They looked askance
trayed by one of their own number. 1t
seemed as if any further sittings would
be useless. Yet, for the sake of appear
ances, they continued to meet and to dis
cusS the clauses Of the treaty. But, as

far as secrecy was concerned, it seemed IS
If they might as well meet in the market
place as in the foreign Office.
Here, however. may at once say that
these fears proved unfounded. The Sc
crecy of their proceedings was not again
violated. and in due course they pieced
together another treaty which did not suf-
fer from premature publication, and which
holds good to the present day.
1t was generally thought that their sue
cess at the second attempt was due to LIE
Grand's absence. He had brought off his
1t might even have been dangerous for him
to do SO, for it was certainly through his
agency that the draft-treaty, however OBJ
tanned. had been published. Whether he
ever suspected me of having rricked him in
the matter Of the envelope do not know.
He never made any suggestion to that eff
feet. In fact he was not at all the man to
allow that he could by any possibility be
outwitted. And in everything connected
with the treaty he kept up an air of mys-
terry, content with the evident fact that in
some way or other he had accomplished
what had seemed to be impossible.
And yet, great though his triumph seemed
to be, I doubt whether to the day of his
death he knew exactly how he had been
enabled to achieve it. And 1t was by the
mefest char ce that lighted upon the dis
ccyery.
The Diul with its unwelcome contents had
reached the prince on a Saturday. On the
Sunday evening 1 visited him again. He
was lying on the couch as usual, and looked
very wretched. -.--.-- f-,1'-
do you mind writing a letter or two for
nae?" he said, after the first preliminary
greetings. You are always good and
kind. . And I have been obliged to give
Maubeuge holiday today
Of course, 1 was delighted to be of any
service. He dictated one or two short notes,
and, when 1 had written them, ne said:
Il hope You will dine with me this even
ing. 1 am really depending on You to cheer
me up little. This fatal business of the
treaty has been such a grievous blow to
me-"
l accepted his invitation.
Now, don't run away meanwhile" he
added. Il generally take a little nap as
you know. at this time, but I shan't be
asleep more than half an hour. Meanwhile,
there are the journals. or perhaps you have
some letters to write"
Thank you," l said, that will suit me
admirably. I will plunge into my corre-
spcndence while you take a dive into OBJ
livion.''
The prince answered with smile.
Then he poured some chloroform on his
handkerchief, threw the latter over his face,
and was asleep almost Immediately. Mean
while, l had taken a sheet of paper and
had written few lines, when, to my great
astonishment, l heard mufiied voice in

the room. For the moment did not realize
that il was the prince who was speaking.
When did realize it, 1 pricked up my ears

PRIZE FIGHTERS CONVICTED

COLUMBUS, KAN, SEPT. ii.
Special to The News.
The jury in the case of the State
against Purtell and Johnson for
prize fighting returned verdict of
guilty as charged, at little before
! o'clock this evening. The testi-
mony was all in and the argument
of the attorneys began at $50 this
afternoon and continued until Q
O'Clock. The jury was taken to
supper and at about 2 o'clock re-
tired to the jury room and in less
than an hour had agreed as above
stated. The penalty is from one to
ten years in the penitentiary.
Attorney General F. B. Dawes and
County Attorney McNeill looked af-
ter the interest of the state and w.
r. Cowley and +. +. Sapp had charge
of the defense. Dawes and Cowley
made two IA good speeches as were
ever heard in the new court house.
Each talked over an hour and there
was little to be said after they had
finished. The case will, no doubt,
be appealed unless new trial is
granted. but there seems little hope
for Johnson aud Purtell in either
case.

On Sunday night one of the heav-
lest rains ever experienced in this
section of country fell and immedi-
ately all the streams in this vicinity
proceeded to rise. On Monday
morning Spring river was out of
banks and il continued to rise until
midnight, spreading out over the
bottom on either side and running
things. When at it's highest the
water was only eight inches below
the first floors of the Touring mill
and electric light plant. Between
the slough and river bridges the
water was seven and one-half feet
deep in the road and travel to and
from the east by team was sus-
pended.
In this vicinity A. Willard, H. C.

Joe Darneil and Mike Clary are

Their corn crops were submerged
and II is believed they will be able
to save only little, if any, of the
corn.

Columbus Advocate.
We second the motion, and would
offer an amendment to the effect
that next year the W. c. T. U. turn
in with the Chetopa reunion, where
everything is run on high moral
plane. II is true, very few old SOL
diers attended the Chetopa affair,
but with Jim Ludlum, Col. Cook,
Miit Drake and Barney Kelley, Sis
ter Devereaux would be perfectly
secure in every way. The Chetopa
reunion is not "a resort for the i'm
moral and vicious of both sexes
but sort of quiet, inoffensive. un-
obtrusive, protracted meeting. with
religious services at both ends.
II we are not mistaken the W. Z.
T. U. boycotted the republican par
~ once upon a time and the repub-
lican party still lives. The Baxter
Springs reunion will continue with.
out the aid of the Phariseee who
seek to dictate the private and pub
lie affairs of the state. We would
say to you, kind and spiteful sister,
we can get along very well without
you, and "you never will be missed,
you never, never will be missed =
The fifty thousand "immoral and
vicious of both sexes" who gather
annually at Camp Logan will get
along nicely without the aid of the
sanctified Varck anarchists who
passed the resolutions. But, Sister.
don't skip the Chetopa reunion!

For the Future.

The reunions held at Baxter
Springs have always proved sue.
cessful in every way. But there
are many things which should be
remedied and improved on before
the reunion of 1895 First the
shows, fakirs aud fellows who make
so much noise should be move fur.
ther away from the amphithcatre,
Second-there should be more wa.
ter closets and they should be kept
clean. OF course, 1t will cost a lit
tie more to keep them clean, but il
could be done and would be more
satisfactory. There should be a
different arrangement of tents, but
we will speak of that later. The old
soldier must have first place al
was.
The most important thing, how
ever, in our estimation, is the license
business. When a man secures q
license to do business on the
grounds he should be made to pay
for Il in full when he gets It. As II
is now. as we understand il, he
makes small payment down and
the balance during the week. OF
course he signs a contract to do
these things, but when the Inter
State Reunion Association accepts
a small payment down 1t practical
iy insures the weather for the week.
The association cannot afford to do
that. Make the stand-men put up
their whole license fee in advance
and better class of them will be
secured, less work will be required
during the week of the license
agent and the association will then
run no risk oflosing heavily should
the weather prove inclement
We may be wrong about this, but
II a man does business in the city
he must pay his license in advance
and take the risk of doing business.
The city runs no risk. Why should
the association
