Omaha. Sept. 21.-The republican
harmonious gatherings ever held by
the party in the state M. b. Reese of
Lincoln was nominated for supreme
judge on the first ballet. L. G. McGil-
ton of Omaha and William B. Ely Of
Ainsworth were both nominated for re-
gents of the state university on the
first ballot.
Judge Reese has served six years on
the supreme bench, retiring six years
ago to resume the practice of his pro-
fession.
Frank c. Reavis of Falls City was
temporary chairman.
After the preliminary matters were
disposed of, the temporary officers
were made permanent. Major Kiilain
of the LIST Nebraska regiment who was
in the house, was called for, and his
appearance was vociferously APP
plauded.
Major Killain made an earnest speech
in behalf of UNFOLDING the hands of
the national administration in the
Philippines. The applause which pune
tuated his speech was even more hearty
than that which greeted his appear
ance.
Senator Thurston and several others
also made speeches, but the one which
set the delegates and spectators wild
was that of Chaplain Mailey of the list
Nebraska. His opening sentence start
ed the pandemonium of cheering. He
said he had never voted republican
ticket in his life, but he intended this
fall to vote to uphold the hands of the
administration in the Philippines.
The committee on resolutions reported
and the resolutions were promptly
adopted. After touching upon state
matters. the planks on money, national
policy and trusts We're as follows
On the question Of foreign policy, the
platform states:
I'VE heartily indorse the wise, con-
sentative and patriotic administration
of President Mckinley and congratulate
the president upon his success in dealing
with the delicate and difficult problems
arising from our war with Spain, and
we repose implicit confidence in his
ability to cope with every issue that
may present itself for solution in the
future.
while we deplore the insurrection
in the Philippines, yet We recognize the
duties and obligations imposed upon
our nation by the victory OF our navy
and the matchless valor of our arms,
resulting in the treaty of Paris, which
imposed upon the president the duty or
maintaining the authority of the United
by, and so long as there is one gun
pointed at an American soldier, so
long as there is an armed enemy as
saluting our flag, so long must pat
riotic and loyal Americans uphold our
president in effecting protection, tran
guilty and peace to all who recognize
our lawful occupation
After paying a glowing tribute to the
valor of the 1st Nebraska volunteers in
| the Philippines. the platform deals with
| the money question as follows:
I'VE adhere unequivocally to the gold
standard and are unaFterably opposed
| to the free coinage of silver Gold mas
been our standard since 1884, and is now
| the standard of every civilized and i'm
| portant country in the world.
After more than 20 years of harmful
! agitation and a campaign of extraor-
| binary earnestness and full discussion,
! the people of the United States, by
| majority of more than 100000, decided
| in favor of that standard Our eXpe-
rience and present prosperity is the
| amplest and fullest measure demon
| strating the wisdom of that decis-
| ion"
On the questions of the trusts, the
| resolutions declare:
| I'VE denounce the attempt now des-
| perately being made to array labor and
| capital in hostile camps. The repub-
| trusts and combinations having Tor
| their purpose the sitting of competl-
| ton and arbitrarily controlling produc-
| ton or fixing prices, but we also rec
ognize that legitimate business fairly
capitalized and honestly managed has
| built up our industries at home, giving
| ito labor the highest wages and has en-
abled US to successfully compete with
foreign countries in the markets of the
| world Such industries must not be
struck down by legislation aimed at
dishonesty organized institutions
which destroy legitimate enterprise
and the opportunities of labor and
| plumber the public. We favor the crea-
ton by act of congress of bureau OF
| supervision and control of corpora
| lions engaged in interstate business
with power similar to those exercised
over national banks by the Comptroller
of the currency, indorsing such pub
licity and regulations as shall effect.
| ually prevent dishonest methods and
| practices and generally such legisla'
! ton, state and national as from time
to time may be required for the cor
| rection of abuses
A liberal pension policy is recon-,
mended and the loyalty of the sounc
| money democrats commended.
