NEBRAsKNs RErIBLIcANs.
They Favor sound Money and the
Independence Of Cnbn.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct. 2.-The following is
the ticket nominated to-day by the Re
publican State convention:
For Justice of the Supreme Court-T. l.
.Norval of Seward
For Regents Of the State University-C
II. Morrill, Of Lincoln, and Il. L. Gould
Of Ogallalla.
The platform facilitates the party upon
the election last November as a signal
vindication of the republican policy Of
protection to home Industries and a sound
currency, and proceeds: "FavOring the use
of both gold and silver standard money,
we oppose all monetary legislation that
would result in either gold or silver mono-
metallism and demand the maintenance of
a national currency, that every dollar Of
which, whether In silver OF paper, shall
be of equal value and of equal debt pay
ing or purchasing 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 attempts to make
good its threat to wage a war of EXTERN
ination against them the prompt recogni-
ton of belligerents' rights Of the Cuban
republic by the United States"
The platform concludes by congratulate
ing the people on the restoration of the
sugar bounty. II was adopted with cheers
and, after being In session less than two
hours, the convention adjourned sine die.

MARBLE IN OUR posTOFFIcE.
The Contractors VIII Have TO Lower
Their Bid II We Get IL.

Washington, Oct. Representative
Lester had a long conference with Secre-
tary Carlisle at the treasury department
to-day on the subject Of the Savannah
public building. Col Lester laid before
the secretary proposition from Miles &
Bradt, the contractors, to suspend work
under their present contract until next
June. II they can have the assurance OF
the secretary that they viii be given the
contract for completing the building In
marble, should congress provide the ad-
ditiOnal appropriation necessary.
The secretary is willing to do every
wishes of the people OF Savannah, but
Miles & Bradt will be obliged TO reduce
their bid for marble below that Of the
Milwaukee firm before the secretary can
ing for S2l50O0. while the Milwaukee firm
offered TO do Il for S192. 500
1t appears that the recent negotiations
between Secretary Carlisle and Represen-
tative Lester have been conducted under
the impression that Miles a. Bradt sub
mitted the lowest bid on marble, as well
as for brick and stone To-day, when the
papers In the case were called for by the
secretary he discovered that the Atlanta
firm was higher in its bid than the Mil
waukee bid
Mr. Lester says he vas also under the
as Secretary Carlisle believed them TO
be. Now, unless Miles q Bradt are willing
to revise their bid on marble so as to re-
duce IL below Slg25o0 there is but little
prospect of obtaining a marble building
Col. Lester sdm hopes that Miles &
Bradt will see their way clear TO pare
down their marble bid to overcome the
dimculty. He will return home tomorrow
and further consult the contractors ana
their representatives.

LESTER FOR SOUND MONEY.
He Is Said Not To Have Caught the
Free silver Fever.


Washington, oct. 2.-Representative
Lester is one Of the few members OF the
Georgia delegation who is a believer IN
sound money, and has not caught the free
silver fever now raging in that state. In
discussing the political situation in Geor-
gia, Mr.. Lester says he does not believe
any good result can be brought about by
the continual agitation OF the silver ques-
ton. He has served in congress for sew
eral terms and he knows how difficult It
is to get through any political legislation,
when the one party has the adminstra-
tion and the other has the majority of the
votes in congress. just now the people
Of Georgia are interested In maxi
ing the Atlanta exposition a
success, and they are not Civ
ing much thought to politics. Some Of
the leaders, however, are keeping their
eyes on Secretary Hote Smith, who is
supposed TO be making a fight for the
senatorship to succeed Gen. Gordon. Mr..
Lester says he does not believe any man
IN the state can beat Mr.. Crisp for the
position, for the people Of Georgia realize
he declined the office two years ago IN the
interest OF his party and they are dis
posed to reward him for the personal
sacrifice he made for them. The friends
OF Secretary Smith are making a very
vigorous, II not a noisy campaign, but the
the indications are that they will not be
able to beat Mr.. Crisp.

tute an offense under the general embezzle-
ment laws; that the Indictment is demur-
rable, as stating two separate offenses,
and that the facts stated in the indict-
ment don't constitute a public offense;
