BADGER POLITICS
Republican Convention Meets at
Milwaukee to Elect McKin.
ley Delegates.
There Will Be a Solid Delega-
tiOn for the Man From
Ohio.
The Platform FavOrs Sound
Money, Reciprocity and
Protection.

MILWAUKEE, March 19.-The Rspub-
ican state convention was called to or
der by Chairman Jones Of the state
central committee at 1890. The Acad-
emy of Music was packed to the doors
by delegates and spectators, making
the most enthusiastic political gather
ing ever held in this city. Secretary
Ewing announced that there was not
contest between any of the delegates
and the reading of the list of delegates
was dispensed with.
John j. Esch of La Crosse. popular
young Republican. was chosen chair
man Of the convention, amidst great
applause.
MIR. Esch's mention of the various
presidential poss bilities, was met with
rounds of applause, increasing from a
moderate burst to a wild demonstration
for Mckinley. Men waved their hats
and handkerchiets and shouted them
selves hoarse. Mr.. Esch attempted to
go up, but had to desist until the crowd
had satisfied its desire to honor the
favorite of the state. At the close of
Judge Esch speech there was another
demonstration for Mckinley.
Committee on permanent organiza-
ton and resolutions were then named
and the convention took a recess until
$50
At the afternoon session of the con-
vention the following platform was
presented by the committee on resolu.
tiOns:
The Republicans of Wisconsin in
convention assembled renew their de-
votion to the doctrine Of protection.
We believe in an adjustment Of tariff
duties for the two fold purpose Of pro-
viding sufficient revenue to meet the
requirements of the government, and
to furnish reasonable and adequate pro-
lection to American industries-a tariff
both for revenue and protection.
We also renew our allegiance to the
doctrine Of reciprocity. We favor, as
log .cal and beneficial result of protec.
tive tar II laws. mutual trade arrange
ments with foreign countries that
will provide for our manufac.
turers and producers q market for
their surplus product, and at the same
time enable us to buy from them, under
advantageous conditions, such articles
as they produce and we need to pur-
| chase.
The Republicans of Wisconsin are
unyielding in their demand for honest
money. We are unalterably opposed to
any scheme that will give to this coun-
try deprecated or debased currency.
I We favor the use of silver as currency,
but to the extent only, and under such
restrictions that its parity with gold can
| be maintained.
| Commended Nick niey's Services.
A resolution was presented and
adopted, amidst tremendous applause,
commencing the distinguished pubic
services of William Mckinley, and in.
structing the delegates from Wisconsin
to use all reasonable effort to secure his
nomination for the presidency.

senate, but now it was quite common
for such officers to refuse to carry out
the law. Mr.. Vest said the opening up
of the Asphalt regions in this reserva-
tion would result in greatly cheapening
the product.
Mr.. Vest declared that this course of
nullifying laws had grown to such an
extent that it had become reprehens-
BILE. Referring to the proposed action
of Secretary Morton in complying with
the seed resolution. Mr. Vest said it
would not be carried out so as to
secure an efficient distribution of seeds,
but that the secretary would act in
such a way as to place upon congress
the appearance of wasting the appro-
priation.
He Roasted Cleveland, Too.
As to the Uncompahgre reservation
and Secretary Smith, he declared that
the secretary and the president-the
president acting on the suggestion of
the secretary-decided that congress
did not know what it was doing. Mr..
Vest declared there was disposition
ON the part of the administrat on not to
treat the people of the West fairly, and
as if they did not know what they
wanted. He referred to the late address
of the president to the Presbyterian
mission board in New York, the presi.
dent standing on the thresholds of the
rum holes and places CT vice III New
York, and saying the peop.e of the
West needed .ssionary aid. He had
heard that the president had lately LAID
his heart at the feet of Jesus. He was
glad 20 hear it. He had feared that the
president had donated all his alteration
to the mugwumps and incense burners.
Senator Vest said that if the presi-
dent would hunt less ducks in North
Carolina and silver Democrats in Ken
lucky, it would be better for the couu-
try. He declared the refusal of public
officers to obey the law had become SO
fragrant that it demanded the attention
of the legislative branch Of the govern
ment.
Senator Villas offered an amendment
to exempt asphalt lands from the
operations of the law, opening the
reservation.
Senator Villas pleaded for time to
consider the resolution Its passage
would be q reflection upon the secretary
and even upon the president. Tho
Uncompahgre reservation bill finally
was lald aside, after being made the
unfinished business after the pending
Arkansas claim bill was disposed Of.
and Mr.. Thurston took the floor ON the
Dupont case He referred sarcastically y
to the harmony shown on the Demo.

resolution.

CRUDE LEGISLATION.

The law regulating marriages in the
District contains some very excellent pro-
visions, but one of the clauses has already
worked nischievously. simply because 1t
was not sufficiently elaborated. This
clause reads thas:
No license for any marriage shall here
after be Issued 10 which any GtiZen or d
foreign country shall lie a party, until
minister or consul repre- seDting such
foreign country in the United States shall
certify that the conditions TO The validity
of the marriage OF Tie laws CT such country
shall have been complied with
An applicant Tor a marriage license was
asked If his intended was citizen OF the
United States He replied that she came
to this country with her parents whentwo
years of age. Was her father naturalized:
He didn't know, nor was there way to
ascertain, because the father was dead:
in fact the young lady was an orphan. The
clerk was very sorry, but under the circum. .
stances he did not feel himself empowered
to issue the desired license. II the two
candidates for nIatrmony continue I'm the
same mind they must go to some place
outside OF the District of Columbia to have
the knot tied.
The clerk of the court might have rea-
soned, of course, that the young lady, be-
ing resident of this country since her
second year, could not have offended
against the marriage laws Of her native
land, nor that the diplomatic or any con-
suIar representative OF the particular for
eign country would be able to certify thnt
she had or had not done So But the Of
ficial probably thought that 1t was his
duty to execute not to construe the law
and hence his refusal to issue the-license.
1t is not to be imagined for a moment that
Congress intended the law to apply to a
case like the one under consideration. The
clause quoted above was framed SO as to
prevent the preparation Of bigamy by q
foreigner RESIDENT in the United States, and
in this respect is eminently proper. As II
reads, however, II must be construed just
as the clerk of the court construed it, and,
therefore, may work hardship and unneces-
sary annoyance. When Congress meets
again the Commissioners should see to il
that the defect is remedied-

Lincoln. Neb.. Aug. 13.-The people q

speakers for some time. A farmer, who 10

years ago. He Was IN need OF the money
and did not object to having the mortgage
made payable in gold. He saved his money
To meet his Indebtedness.
Yesterday morning ne went TO the hort
gagee and rendered him greenbacks fof
the debt. He was surprised when the man
he thought that he would have no trouble.
He went to a bank and begged the teller
to give him gold for his currency. Tie teller
declined, because the bank had no gold to
spare. A second and even third bank was
visited with like result.
DespairIng of finding the gold in the
banks he went to a money lender and Of
fered him per cent premiuni for the gold.
The money lender had none. The farmer
offered him a commission, besides the 1
per cent to effect an exchange. 1t was
impossible, the money lender said. He
did rot believe there was 81 800 in gold
In the city, unless it was locked up In
vaults.
Last night the farmer was still searching
for man with enough gold to lift his
mortgage. He wonders whether the money
lender is treating him fairly, but he sayi
he considers it one OF tie greatest object
