Strike the Right Chord In the Resolu'
tions Adopted by the State ConYen-
tlon Yesterday.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 2l.-The Repub-
llcan state convention to-day was one
OF the most harmonious gatherings
ever held by the party in this state. NJ.
b. Reese, OF Lincoln, wns nominated for
supreme Judge, and E. G. MeGIllon, Of
Omaha, and William B. Ely, Of Aims
worth. for regents of the state univer-
slty on the first ballot. Judge Reese
has served six years on the supreme
bench. retiring six years ago to resume
the practice OF his profession.
Frank c. Reavfs. of Falls City, was
introduced as temporary chairman, and
addressed the convention.
After the applause which greeted the
chairman's speech had subsidized, the
usual committees were appointed. AZ
ter the preliminary matters were dis
posed OF Major Killan, OF the First Me-
brnslGn, was called for and on his ap-
pearance was vOciferously cheered. He
made an earnest speech in behalf OF
uphoiding the hands Of the national
administration in the Philippines. The
applause which punctuated his speech
was even more hearty than that which
greeted his appearance.
The committee or resolutions report
cd, and the resolutions were promptly
adopted.
After touching upon state matters,
the plnnks on money, national policy
and trusts were as follows:
On the question OF foreign policy the
platform states:
1--WE heartily endorse the wise, con-
servatlVe and patriotic administration
Of President Mckinley and congratulate
the President upon his success In deal
Ing with the delicate and difficult prob
lens arising from our war with Spain
and we repose implicit confidence 10 his
ability to cope with every issue that
may present itself for solution in the
future
After paying n glowing tribute to the
vnlor OF the First Nebraska volunteers
in the Philippines, tho platform deals
with the money question MS follows:
owe adhere unequivocally to the
gold standard and are unalterably op-
posed to the free coinage OF silver. Gold
has been our standard since 1894. and Is
now the standard Of every civilized ana
important country in the world
After more than twenty-five years OF
harmful agitation and campaign OF
extraordinary earHestHess and full dis
cusslon the people OF the United States
by majority OF more thnn 100000 de-
cided in favor Of that standard. Our
experience and present prosperity In the
amplest and fullest measure demon.
strate the wisdom Of that decision.
on the question Of trusts the resolu-
lions declare. I'VE denounce the at
tempt now desperately beinfS- made to
again array labor and capital In hostile
camps. The Republican party now, as
always. opposes trusts and combina-
tI9Rs having for their purpose the stl-
fling of competition nnd arbitrarily
controlling production or fiXing prices,
but we also recognize that legitimate
business interests fairly capitalized and
honestly managed have built up our
Industries at home. given the largest
employment TO labor Mt the highest
wages. and have enabled us to success
fully compete with foreign countries In
the markets Of the world. Such indus
tries must not be struck down by legis-
latinn nlmed Mt dishonesty organized
Institutions which destroy legitimate
enterprise and the opportunities OF la
bor, and plunder the public We favor
the creation by oct OF Congress Of a
burenu Of supervision and control OF
corporations engaged In Interstate
commerce with power similar to those
exercised over national banks by the
cOmptroiler OF the currency enforcing
such publicity md regulations rs shall
eifectunlly prevent dishonest methods
and practices and generally such legis-
lntIon, state and national as from time
to time may be required for the cor
rectlon OF abuses"
A liberal pension policy is recon-
mended and the loyalty Of the sound
money Democrats commended.
