REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
Funeral Performance all the Details OF
Which Had Been Arranged
Before Hand

The republicans held their state
convention at Lincoln last Tuesday
and of all the conventions ever held
in Lincoln it was the most lifeless and
formal. There was not a sign of en-
ttusiaSm from the beginning to the
end. The attendance was small, and
to conceal the fact that numerous
counties were not represented, the
signs for delegations from different
counties were net put up, but instead
there were six placards on which were
printed the number of the congress
s;onal districts. Every man there,
outside of Lancaster, came on a pass,
and even some of them had passes.
A young man was sitting at the cor
ner of the Lindell hotel when gray
haired man came up and asked: "Are
you delegate!' The young man re-
piled: II am not" Another young
man then asked the first did Will
Gomez" The reply was as follows: 81
only had three passes and | gave two
OF them away before / knew that Will
wanted to come and I could not get
another" That little conversation ex-
planned the manner in which these
Eien came to Lincoln to nominate
supreme judge.
The railroads had the organization
n so tight grip that there was no
friction. The state committee selected
the temporary chairman and secretary
and they were made the permanent
officers. A motion was made and car
ried to appoint committee on creden-

tails. The chairman Immediately read
the names of the committee from tie
back of an envelope. Everything had
been fixed beforehand and the dele
gates had about as much to do with
the proceedings as the man iii the
room.
Judge Barnes, who had been Sc
lected by the railroads some months
before as their man for supreme
Judge, was nominated by reclamation.
Not one Of the whole crowd dared to
reep. If they had they would have
had to pay their railroad fare back
home.
The corporations had things nailed
down so solidly that they did not
think that it was necessary even to
hire brass band, and from the SOL
enn remarks Of the man they made
chairman to the end of the perform
ance the whole thing was like a
funeral.

The general is handsome, abs and
