REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.
Platform Adopted and Delegates
Elected.

The Nevada Republicans held their
State Convention to elect six delegates
and six a~lternates TO the Republican
National Convention, which meets al
st. Louis on June 10th, at Virginia
City, last Saturday.
The convention was attended by Re.
publican chiefs from all over the State.
Among those present were Coffin,
Woodburn and Colcord of Carson, Sum-
merfield of Reno, Sproule OF Elko,
Blossom Of Battle Mountain, Gray oil
Eureka, Hymers Of Reno and Strother
of Virginia.
The convention was called to order
by Hon. Trenmore Coffin, Chairman OF
the Republican State Central Commit
tee. Ex-Governor Colcor6 was chosen
Temporary Chairman and f. ID. Van
derleith Temporary Secretary.
The majority report Of the Platform
Committee was read and a motion to
adopt it made. A minority report was
offered as a substitute by Delegate Col
burn Of Virginia City. The platform
contained in the majority report was
as follows:
1t congratulated the people OF the
State and country on the prospect of a
Republican Presidential victory fav-
ored the restoration of the currency as
it stood in 1878; recommended the dis
placement Of Nevada's Senators and
Representative as non-residents; fav-
ored tariff protection and protection
for American labor; opposed interior
ence with non-sectarain schools and
the giving of aid to sectarian schools.
1t favored national legislation to con-
troll pauper immigration and the immi-
grafton Of people holding views opposed
to the American form Of government
favored a change in the naturalization
laws, requiring, al a qualification OF
citizenship, seven years residence on
the part of foreigners and the ability to
read the Constitution OF the United
States. 1t favored the leaving of the
delegates to the National Republican
Convention u~npledged.
There was a squabble i've the two
reports offered. The difference in the
reports was over the clause, silver at
a ratio OF 16 to l." which the currency
plank in the minority report contained
and the majority report did not. The
minority report was confined to the
currency plank. The matter was finally
settled by an amendment to the cur
rency plank to the effect that the =" con-
vention favored the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at a ratio OF Is to l."
The following delegates We're elected
to the National Convention j. B.
Overton, A. G. Cleveland, G. F. Tur-
retin, Enoch Strother, G. H. Sproule
and w. d. Phillips. Also, the follow
ing alternates were chosen: w. w.
Williams, John Tore, w. S. Bonni-
field, G. Colburn, p. L. Flanagan and
@. Glasscock.
The Carson Appeal says the conven-
ton was a long and hot scrap. The
insertion OF a silver plank in the plat
form was fought for nearly an hour
and over thirty votes were taken. At
last ex.G Governor Colcord left the chair
and made a personal appeal asking
how the committee could face the peo-
Pile without a silver plank. Out Of re-
gard for him 1t was at last inserted.

The elaborate ceremony reported from

The elaborate ceremony reported from
Madrid, Endorsed by the queen regent and
the whole government, in which It was
sought to procure the intercession OF o
saint who lived in the thirteenth century
to bring the drought to an end and effect
the suppression OF the Cuban rebellion,
will be accepted by the civilized world as
further proof Of the unftness Of Spain to
rule either herself or Cuba. Il may be
all right to make reasonable demand
upon saint who has been dead over 500
years for a change in meteorological con-
ditions; but demand for wet weather In
Spain and dry weather in Cuba is not
reasonable, and any self-respecting saint
is likely to resent it. We may believe In
the blood of st. Januarius, and accept
without doubt or question the miracle Of
the good man who, when his head was
shot off in battle, picked it up and
walked away triumphantly with 1t under
his arm; but we do not believe that any
saint in the calendar will undertake
to help Spain as against Cuba. Saints
are good people, and work only in
q good cause.

portance that il should be made public.
l should not feel at liberty to give an &C.
count Of all the details, but the main facts
l have Professor Zanpley's consent for
giving you, and they are as follows:
"The aerodrome, or flying machine
in question was of steel, driven by steam
engine. 1t resembled an enormous bird,
soaring in the air with extreme regularity,
in large curves, sweeping steadily up.
ward in spiral path, the spirals with a
diameter Of perhaps 100 yards, until IL
reached height of about 100 feet in the
air.
"At the end OF course of about half
mile, when the steam gave out, the pro-
pellers which had moved il stopped, and
then. to my further surprise, the whole,
instead OF tumbling down, settled as
slowly and gracefully us it is possible for
any. bird to do, touched the water without
any damage, and was Immediately picked
out and ready to be tried again.
"a second trial was like the first, ex-
cept tnat the machine went in different
direction. moving in one continuous gen.
tie ascent, as it swung around in circles,
like great soaring bird. At one time it
seemed to be in danger. as it's course car
ried it to neighboring wooded promon-
tory, but apprehension was Immediately
allayed, as it passed 2s or 80 feet above
the top OF the highest trees there, and
then assembled still further; it's steam
finally gave out again and it settled
into the water of the river, not quite q
quarter OF a mile from the point where it
rose.
mo one could have witnessed these
experiments without being convinced that
the practicability of mechanical flight had
been demonstrated"

Triumphan. Demecraer.

Walla Walla Statesman: When all ifs
and ands are laid aside. the still remark
able fact remains that the democrats
have had the presidency for So years and
all their opponents together only A,
while they have controlled both houses
in rs OF the "a congresses that have sat
and held one branch or the other or both
in 80. leaving their opponents in COM
plete possession in congress dnring only
10, or much less than one-third OF the
legislative terms. This means, in other
words, that the opponents of the democ
racy, federalists, wings and republicans,
all together, have been intrusted by the
people with the complete control of both
the legislative and executive branches Of
the government during only 81 OF the 100
years since Washington's retirement, or
much less than one.fourth of the whole
time, while during 40 years the democrats
have controlled both houses OF congress
aud the presidency and been in full pos
session Of the government.
Those people who imagine that party
coeval with the birth of this free govern
ment is going to give up the ghost be-
cause 1t may suffer defeat in one or two
elections are woefully deluded. The
party was founded by the same iliustri-
Gus patriot who wrote the declaration Of
our independence as nation. As long
as this government is in any degree a
government Of the people, for the people
and by the people, the democratic party
will live. If the growing evils Of pater-
nalism and socialism shall ever crush
out the spirit of individual liberty and
self.dependence in this country then de-
mocracy may die. Till then, never. As
long as free government endures the dem
ocratic party will survive.

President Cleveland has issued an order
extending the civil service list over 29,-
800 clerks and other appointes, swelling
the total number Of government employees
under civil service rules to S5,l35. An
order had been expected by politicians
for several weeks, but none supposed for
an instant that it would be 90 sweeping
when 1t did appear. Coming as 1t does,
just before the two big conventions, it
creates untold embarrassment. as the
leaders must declare themselves either
one way or the other--for the spoils sys-
tenn OF rewards for political services, or
for civil service pure and simple. It also
takes great power out Of the hands Of q
president, for these appointes are in for
life, unless removed for cause, or Cleve-
lands successor must induce congress to
amend the law. This move is exceed
ingly embarrassing to the republicans.
for they realize If they succeed to power
that they will have little patronage to
distribute among the faithful as a reward
for party services.

The republicans OF Yakima will not
take a very important place in the politi-
cal roundup. The republican presiden-
tial nomination has already been settled
while Washington is working in conven.
ton, and Yakima comes last in the roll
call OF state which will be last In the
call at the national convention. Before
the secretary of the convention at st.
Louis will have an opportunity to ask for
the vote of Washington there will be mo.
tons and sub-motions amidst the gem
eral clamor to make McKinley's nomina-
tion unanimous. II Yakima wants to
gain point in state politics, or Wash
ington in national politics, they will have
to change their names. Neither one
would be the deciding factor in contest
once in a score Of coon's ages.
