ceptions the state ticket was nominated by
reclamation. The contest over delegates at
large, the crux of which was the fight made
on United States Senator Thurston, caused
intense excitement while the roll was be-
ing called. But when the result of the bal
lotting, showing that both the senator and
Editor Rosewater, who headed the anti
read, the convention gave itself up to the
widest of cheering. The convention as
sembled at 2:3O d. m, and shortly before
clock had finished it's business and adj
journed sine die. The platform follows:
I'VE, the Republicans of Nebraska, are
unlike our political adversaries, who in late
convention held high carnival over imagin-
airy evils threatening our country, and
adOntpd
protest against prosperity, grandeur and
glory. We rejoice that we are citizens of
mighty nation, whose revenues are
larger than at any previous period of its
history; whose treasury is overlooking
with gold; whose agricultural industries
flourish as never before; whose laborers
are more generally and continually en-
ployed at profitable wages; whose financial
policy commands the confidence of the peo-
pie at home and stimulates our trade with
the nations abroad; whose products are a
mountain of wealth; whose commerce has
cutdistanced all competitors; whose
achievements in peace and glorious victor
les in war are without a parallel; all these
are living evidences that it is fulfilling the
destiny for which IL was created, and that
Democratic protests cannot stay its career.
These and other equally meritoriouS
considerations have endeared our hearts
to our Nations worthy leader, William
Mckinley, and we unhesitateingly indorse
his magnificent administration and pledge
ourselves to secure to him the vote of
Nebraska at the November election.
I'VE point with pride TO the remodeling
of our tariff laws, which has increased
our revenues and not impeded trade
eve indorse the legislation that has
strengthened our financial system, and
firmly established the gold standard, and
made the American dollars safe and secure.
ITO the army and navy, which so
signally humbled our enemy and honored
themselves and doubly honored our coun-
try. we acknowledge our debt of gratitude.
The Republican party has always been
ready TO protect its protectors and to de-
fend its defenders
while we are unalterably opposed to
imperialism and militarism as practiced by
all the legitimate results of honorable
warfare, and we assume the burdens of
governing and holding territory. We are
are in favor of increasing our navy TO such
strength and power will make us secure
from foreign aggression. and the maintain
ing of such army as may be necessary to
queli instruction. establish peace. and
maintain good order in our islands in the
seas and protect the flag from insult at
home and abroad. But we are opposed to
large standing army In time of peace. re-
lying the national ardor of the people
TO meet any emergency with the volunteer
soldiery. such as has for more than hun
dred years challenged the admiration of
the world.
1--WE favor such appropriate legislation as
shall make the seas give evidence that
American built and American owned and
American manned ships are carrying
American foreign commerce TO the four
corners of the earth.
1--WE applaud the action of the admins
tration in securing TO American merchant
men free access 10 trade with the Chinese
empire.
I'VE denounce the attempt now desper-
ately being made 10 array labor and capt.

THE Republican party recognizes that
legitimate. business fairly capitalized and
honestly managed has built up our indus
tries at home. given the largest employ

abed US successfully to compete with for
eign countries i'm the markets OF the world.
But the Republican party now, as always.

combinations having for their purpose the
sitting of competition and arbitrarily con-
