Regents of the state, university Charles s. Allen, of Lancaster, and w.. G. Whitmore, of Douglas. g.. The convention transacted it's neces- sary business and was ready to adjourn within three hours. President Roosevelt received the ' heartiest commendation, and declara- \ tion was made for his nomination.
 The unexpected feature of the con Ivention was the adoption, by unanimous vote. of a resolution declaring John l.. | Webster, of Omaha, one of the delegates | to the convention and one of the we'll known party leaders of the state, to be the choice of Nebraska republicans for vice president in 1904
 The temporary chairman, former State Senator Charles Sloane, made the principal address of the day, congratu- lating the party on what he said was a united front to divided opposition.
 The report of the committee on reso- lutions was adopted without change. The platform begins with a declaration of reorganization on the overthrow of Bryanism i'll the home of its nativity, and cont inues:
 We congratulate the state that we have made it manifest that there is no
 permanent place in American politics l for a political leader who bases his I claims for popular support upon the failures or disappointments of the peo- f pie.
 We congratulate the state that this l political revolution has bees worked out I without the people having been made to suffer any of that multitude. of calami- ties so vehemently predicted by our en- emies.
 We congratulate ourselves that the I people of the state are enjoying good prices, good wages, good markets and good government, and all the manifold I DlSSSlilSS OI UIOSEtiIly sllidL WE I foretold would follow the election of our late superb and grand American pa triot, President William Mckinley. and
 whose magnificent policy is now being carried into full and complete execution in masterly way by the strong will and clear judgment of President Theo- dore Roosevelt. !"
 l On national issues the convention de- 5 clared as follows:
 I We congratulate not only ourselves,
 but the people at large, that the admin
 istration of our national affairs and our l negotiations with foreign nations are being conducted by the courageous re- publican president, who knows no fear, j who courts no favor, but who loves ipeace crowned with honor and in whose charge we have 9 feeling of perfect
 safety and seeurity--a president whom the American people now desire to hon. or with second term as the chief mag istrate of the greatest and grandest na- tion of the earth-Theodor Roosevelt.
 we adhere to the American protec- tive policy of the republican party
 which has increased the revenues and
 not impeded trade: which has opened
 the doors of mills and factories to mill
 lions of American skilled mechanics
 and is returning to them the higher
 wages which are the just recompense
 of their toll. 8
 'tThe republican party recognizes that
 legitimate business, fairly capitalized
 and honestly conducted has increased
 our industries at home and expanded
 our trade abroad, and enabled us sue
 eessfully to compete with foreign coun-
 tries in the markets of the world, But the republican party is unalterably op- posed to all combinations of capital
 under whatever name, having for their purpose the stifling of competition and arbitrarily controlling production or fix ing prices.
 For the nations defense, for the strengthening of the navy, for the en- l, largement of our foreign commerce, for the employment of the American work , ingman in mines, forests, mills, facto. Tries and shipyards, and for the enhance ment of the value of farm products, we
 favor such appropriate legislation d Ishall make the seas give evidence that Fl American-built and American-ownee s| and American manned ships are carry ling American foreign commerce to the four corners of the earth. It is the wish
 of the republicans of Nebraska tha . every ship that carries American goods and American products into the harbors : of foreign nations shall sail under ths American flag a . , "The country is congratulated upor ) the acquisition of the Philippines as tn, : | legitimate and crowning result of hon : orable warfare" Fl H. c. Lindsay was reelected chair. . tman of the state committee. 1 @s* ,I Frany Potsoned by dream. a2+,z } Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 1S.-Mor
