LINCOLN, Sept when State Chair
man Euclid Martin of Omaha called the
second Nebraska Democratic state con-
Vention to order Thursday 63l delegates
greeted him with applause. Every ut.
terance in favor Of a national currency
in which gold is the basic principle was
as yociferOusly cheered as the mention
Of free silver in the convention Of the
other wing of the party last month.
The chair first announced that he had
received a telegram from Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle, which he would
read. The message, a brief one, was to
the effect that it had been impossible
for him to accept the cordial invitation
to meet with the convention, and that.
owing to the immediate stress of bust
ness it was equally impossible for him
to dictate an extended letter. The mes
sage, however, created a great deal of
enthusiasm and the signature Of John
G. Carlisle evoked another Democratic
Outburst
The call was read by Secretary J. B.
Sheean, and Chairman Martin answered
that in accordance with the custom Of
past Democratic state conventions, he
would name R. S. Bib of Beatrice as
temporary chairman and G. M. Hueb-
ner Of Nebraska City as temporary Sec
rotary. The recommendation was
unanimously ratified by the convention,
and Bib was introduced amid a storm
Of cheers. Bib said that in addition to
honest money, tariff reform and the
greatest good for the greatest number.
the genuine Democratic party, whose
representatives were before him, stood
for everything that was good.
On motion the chair appointed COM
mjttees Oh credentials and permanent
organization. The chairman Of the COM
mittee on credentials reported that there
were no contests and that every county
in the state was represented. On mo-
ton the reading Of the list of delegates
was dispensed with. The committee on
permanent organization recommended
that the temporary organization be
made permanent, with the addition Of
Ed McCulloch Of Butler county, as as,
sistant secretary.
Platform as Adopted.
The report Of the resolution commit
tee was greeted with repeated applause.
There was no minority report. These
resolutions were adopted with enthus-
iasm:
The Democracy of Nebraska, in cOnven-
ton assembled, cOngFatulates the country
upon the sure signs of reuniting prosper
ity. In spite of the evil predictions alike
| OF pTotectiOnists and silver infiationists,
the country is steadily and surely gaining
| ground, thus justifying the wisdom of the
! reversal of the Republican policies of pro-
| tectiYo tariff, taxes and coinage of a re-
dundant quantity of token dollars. The
silenced SIS a consequence Of these policies
/ by long and depressing panic have re-
sum0d their wOnted motion and that more
than 100000 labOrers are receiving the
large increase in wages of 10 per cent
proves this assertion.
We send greeting and congratulations to
Grover Cleveland and his cabinet, not
only for their wise and prudent course,
which has aided so much in bringing
about the better financial condition, but
also for their firm and fearless adherence
throughout the long depression to sound
principles Of economies, for their unsWerv-
ing fidelity in UNFOLDING and protecting
the honor and integrity of the nation
against organized mob violence.
We indOrse the national Democratic
| platform of 1892 and the Interpretation
placed thereon by the president, and we
declare ourselves unequiyOcally and IN
Teseryedly for that metallic money as the
standard miHtage the bullion and mint
value of which are approximately the
same, the purchasing power of which, re-
| CARELESS of government mintage is the
least fuctuating in all the markets Of the
civilized world We insist upon this
policy as especially necessary for the pro-
lection of the farmers, laborers and prop
eTty owning debtors, the most defenseless
victims of unstable money and fuctuat-
| ing currency. Free coinage of silver at Is
/ to 1 means poorer money and less of
it; it means less wages for the laboring
man and less actual money for the bust
ness man; it means bankruptcy for all
save the mine owner.
We recognize in the issue and reissue Of
our treasury notes a serious menace to the
stability of the national finances, and we
favor the retirement Of all treasury notes
at the soonest possible moment, with
proper and safe guarantees for maintain
( ing the necessary volume of currency,
which shall be devised by a competent and
nOnpartisan currency commission.
The constitution Of this state provides
that no religious test shall be made as a
qualification for Office. That provision
we accept, both in the letter and spirit.
and we condemn every attempt by secret
societies or otherwise to prescribe any
portion Of our citizens on account Of their
religious belief Or affiliations.

Following numerous brief speeches on
the platform the following nominations
were made; Supreme judge, Z. J. Ma

After speeches Of acceptance, the con

read all over the country.
