M T. Haywood Nominated for Governor
 Rest of the Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 10-Nebraska re- publicans made a record for industry to- day in their state convention, concluding with a degree of harmony Rerhaps un- equaled in the history of the party in the last ten years.

 The speech of Senator John M. Thurs ton as permanent chairman was full of fire and brought, the enthusiasm of the crowd to the bubbling over point. Much of his address was devoted to the war and it's successful prosecution and probably early conclusion under the guiding hand of President Mckinley.
 Contrary to the expectations of those who thought his close relations with the president would justify him in outlining the administration policy regards the1Phil- ippnes, he referred but incidentally to those islands
 The complete ticket follows:
 For Governor-M. T. Hayward, Ole county.

 Secretary of State--Cenik Duras, Saline county.
 Auditor-T. L. Matthews, Dodge county. \ Treasurer-Peter Mortenson, Valley county.
 Attorney Generally. D. Jackson, Ante- lope county.
 The platform is brief and goes in ex- tremes on conservatism, dismissing the subject of territorial expansion with an indorsement of President McKinley's pro- posed terms of peace. It reaffirms un- swerving allegiance to the principles enun- ciated in the republican national platform of 1see declares in favor of the mainten- ance of the present gold standard and con- graduates the nation upon the success of the war with Spain.

 MKINLEY.
 Dewey has proved himself a man of re- source, cool judgment and that simplicity of character never absent from greatness. Hobson had the sublime nerve to enter coouy-not in hot blood-in the discharge of duty, into a very vortex of shot and she'll. The deed was dramatic, and will rank with those acts of personal heroism which history never forgets.
 President Mckinley has grown in favor by his evident moderation, strong judg ment, breadth of view and evident desire to be animated by high principles.
