idea OF instructed delegations is wrong,
but in the present instance it is appar-

to be chosen for delegates are not likely
to stay with Mckinley or any other can

otherwise. And after all the national
republican convention should be some
thing more than political grabbing.

tional convention will be marked by a
struggle between the political bosses
and what may be called the rank and
file. The bosses are not for Mckinley.
And it's greatly to his credit.
Even the Journal has caught some
thing OF the Mckinley enthusiasm that
is abroad in this state. When an en-
thusiasm reaches the Journal it comes
pretty nearly being all pervading.
John G. Watson, of Nebraska City, is
reported by the Journal as saying: II
am for Mckinley, but hope the national
delegation from Nebraska will not be
sent under instructions. for the simple
reason that il the state should happen
to want something an instructed dele

A large audience, the largest yet,
crowded the Universalist church. The
progr am was particularly attractive;
or did, perhaps, the weather has some
thing to do with it? The opening num-
Der. Bach's Prelude and Minuet, was
played, it seemed, not quite with the
the usual smoothness. 1t was followed
by Beethoven's Sherzo and Minuetto,
from op. IS, No. 4. The Sherzo was
characteristic, with all the composers
wiIful originality. The trio somehow
disappointed me. 1t had grace, deli
cacy, elaboration. 1t was we'll played.
Some way, however. it seemed unimpres-
sive. 1t may be that it is composition
that grows upon one. Beauties may de-
velop. To me, at the first hearing, it
seemed trifie colcrless.
The Schlummerlied Was pretty
rather longer, by the way, than most
compositions with this title, ard was
very smoothly played. The program
ended with the Mendelssohn Wedding
March.

other instruments. 1t is music for or

march given by quartet,-when can
not hear an orchestra. But l should
like to hear Mr.. Hagenow give the
march with full orchestra. How many
in Lincoln have ever heard it so given?
1t is surprising what merits come out.
The brass and the punctuation OF the
cymbals help wonderfully. This is MOTTO
able particularly at that place where the
upper voices soar crescendo to crash
ing reiteration of the triumphant theme.
This the quartet could only hint. Mr..
Kimbalrs playing helped good deal.
Possibly in the ''trill'' passage it was too
loud,-or the strings too soft. At any
rate, their flowing subject was almost
inaudible. But the effect Of this may
have been different in different parts of
the building.
The idea of adding the choir was ex.
cellent. They help the hymns greatly.
They need, however, more confidence
before taking up numbers or their own
account. The Onward Christian
