READY FOR ACTION.

Approaching the potency of an edu-
cational campaign, and imposing con-
hdence In the sagacity and intelligence
OF the electorate of Nebraska, the re-
publicans have opened up headquarters
at the Her Grand, in Omaha, and are
preparing to conduct q vigorous cam
paign along this line.
The campaign in Nebraska will be
directly In charge of H. c. Lindsay,
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee. and he will be ably assisted
by competent men at the head of the
various departments who will devote
all their time and energy to retaining
Nebraska from fusion mismanage-
ment
President Mckinley.
Looking out upon Q peaceful sea of
prosperity bequeathed to them by the
craftsmanship Of Mckinley 1t was in
keeping with good judgment and sound
reasoning for the republicans In ma
tional convention assembled to attest
their appreciation and gratitude by
unanimously choosing William McKin-
ley for their presidential candidate.
In the four years he had been at the
helm of state he had not only banished
distress from the doorway of millions
Of American homes, but he had gone
forth to struggling people of unhappy,
islands and torn from their limbs the
chains of servitude and silenced for

In American politics better known than

open forum. where as soldier and civil

are found only in the most unsullied
type of American citizenship. A man
Of lofty patriotism, broad and progress
sive ideas, schooled in the science of
government, he is e strong companion
piece to Mckinley and his candidacy
bears with II an assurance OF honesty,
care and circumspection
In the administration Of public az

claimed by the west as its repre-
for, though resident Of
New York, he has for many years been
interested in the stock industry in the
Dakotas and has spent much of his
time on the frontier. No man in public
life Is more mindful of his duties.
Whether his task be to stand between
the people and rapacity, or to lead q

cause Of humanity, as he did at San
Juan hill, 1t is all the same. Man

Mckinley and Roosevelt-both men
Of splendid type. Both possessing q
Judgment that is profound. Both stand
for conservatism in public affairs-for
peace at all times when war can be
avoided without dishonor and consist

Of humanity. They are opposed to
