PROTECTION, PROSPERITY

AND PATRIOTISM

The Shibboleth that will CarryRepublicans to Victory.

MILITANT 3IACCOLL MEN INMAJORITY.

Proceedings of the Lincoln CountyRepublican Convention.

Saturday's republican conventionwas like an old time republicanlove feast. Its enthusiasm was inspired by the proceedings of the St.Louis convention; its patriotismand earnest work grew from anhonest sense of duty: and its doingswas the result of deliberation inwhich no man or class of men, wasrecognized paramount to the prin-ciples of the party.

Saturday's convention marks theturning point in the political his-

tory of Lincoln county. In it werethe wheel horses of old, and thewheel horses of the future; it wascomposed of the better class of citi-

zen partisans, of men willing tosacrifice personal ambition for therror1 rtf ttift nnrfv nnrl trnnd oovern- -

l j - & oment. Its enthusiasm was dolefulas a death knell to the coterie ofpopulists who watched its proceedings; the, harmony and prevalentgood feeling were signals indicating- - success in November next.

Chairman McAllister, of thecounty central committee, called theconvention to order at 10:30 and re-

quested secretary Pro Tern JohnSorenson to read the conventioncall. Major Woodhurst was chosentemporary chairman, and in takingthe gavel remarked that he hadnever made a political speech andwas too old to begin now. He wasglad, however, that McKinley hadbeen nominated and that New Jerseywas now in the Union. On motionof C. F. Iddings, Carroll C. Haw-kinsw- as

made temporary. secretary.On motion' the chair appointed J.

S. Robbins, P. L. Harper, C. Jb

Iddings, Fred Kade and John Kin-kad- e,

a committee on credentials.Just at this juncture H. W. Hill

entered the court room from theclerk's office with a large picture ofWilliam McKinley. This wasgreeted with an outburst of ap- -

plausethat was repeated every timethe name of McKinley was men-

tioned.The chair suggested that while

this committee was out the conven-

tion should be entertained byspeeches from the orators present.George E. French was called uponand made a neat speech in whichhe said it was a pleasure to him tobe with republicans on this eve ofprosperity. The man nearest thehearts of the American people hadbeen nominated by "the republicansfor president, and the .people wouldsee to it that he was elected. Ap-

peals from the north and the south,the east and the west, from democrats and populists, from every sectand creed had came to the republi- -

con party in this great crisis to putclean men in office and pull thecountry out of the slough of despond. All parties were looking tothe republican party. Democracyhad been a failure; the revenue ofthe country had grown less andless, and the country was gettinggreater in debt day by day. Giveus national men and we will haveprosperity instead of depression.Select as delegates and candidatesmen in whom we can have confidence and then stand by the nominees. Do this and after next No-

vember we will have no populistgovernor in Nebraska, and no Kernin Washington. Mr. French wasapplauded loudly and his speechwas marked by great earnestnessand intense feeling.

Hon. J. S. Hoagland was nextcalled upon and said that the dele-gates were here assembled to dothe duty of loyal republicans. Theyhad come to select delegates to thevarious conventions and candidatesfor two county offices. He wishedto congratulate the republicans onthe work of the national conven-tion, and on their candidate forpresident. He was a man who didnot have to go fishing for brainfood to sustain him through presi-dential perplexities. He was a manof American ideas, American policies and American principles. Thevoice or xne people nas Deen nearafor protection, reciprocity and Mc-Kinley, and this cry will not behushed by the soothing syrup ofsophistry. Weigh well whateveryou do do your duty and workloyally until next November, andsuccess will crown your efforts.

Judge Grimes was then called onand responded by saying that everyman in the convention had heardhim, knew his sentiments and convictions, and theretore he wouldgive way to Hon. W. M. Geddes, ofGrand Island, candidate for stateauditor, whom he introduced to theconvention.

Mr. Geddes said he was a candidate for state auditor and askedthe support of republicans. He believed we were now launching outon a sea of prosperity. Nebraskawas smiling with a grand army ofadvancing republicans. He was asound money republican and believed now was as good a time tomeet the financial issue as anyother.

Judge Grimes was again calledfor and said that he was a greatdeal like an old Methodist sister heonce knew, who explained wheneverybody got happy at the revivalmeeting, that she was "too full forutterance." The nomination ofMcKinley, and his election meantthe beginning of an era of prosper-ity. The administration of Cleve-

land had been death to labor. Thiswould all be changed with the ad-

vent of republicanism in control ofnational affairs. Great Britainwas with democracy and againstrepublicanism.

W. T. Wilcox was then called andsaid that the exponent of McKinleyin Lincoln county was George E.French. Mr. French should be thespokesman for the party in thiscounty. Major McKinley and Mr.French were born in the same state,the same county, and on adjoiningfarms in Trumbull county, Ohio.Mr. Wilcox said that Mr. Clevelandcould not even get a top seat in thetop gallery at the Chicago conven-

tion, so great was the democraticrevolt against his rule. Neitherwould any member of his cabinetsecure recognition at that convention. And yet the administrationhad carried out the policy it hadagreed to. Holcomb was not sogood now as when he was elected.Mr. Wilcox said when he was a boyat home" his'fatber gavehinfa-col-t.

The colt was a beauty and that fallhe. took him to all the fairs; he wasnot so pretty the next spring, andhe took the colt to his father to askhim what was the matter. Hisfather examined the colt, found itfull of fleas and ticks, and exclaimed:4Why, the colt is overloaded!"

That was the matter with Holcomb.He was overloaded with politicalticks and fleas. Ask your populistfriends if they are disappointed inOmar M. Kern. Populists had saidof Kem that if he was incompetentwhen they sent him they wouldkeep him in congress until he wascompetent. He had been there sixyears now. Was he yet competent?In mentioning Jack MacColl Mr.Wilcox elicited considerable applause. He stated that the nextcongreeman would be nominated atNorth Platte July 3d.

The committee on credentialsthen reported as follows, recommending that delegates presentcast the full vote ot their delegation, and the report was adopted:

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At 2 o'clock Chairman Woodhurstcalled the convention to order.The committee on resolutions re-

ported as follows, and the reportwas adopted:

The republicans of Lincoln county rejoice in the prospect of our nation's earlyemergence from a condition of depression and ruin, brought on by the presentdemocratic administration. They en-dorse the platform of the recent St.Louis convention as a statement of principles which it enacted into laws willbring about national prosperity at homeand .world wide respect abroad.

One great need of our county is thatthe present populist rule and ruin shallcease. Uur county should be so man-aged that a return to the assessmentbasis so long in existence prior to thisyear may be A reductionof expense with relief to the people isbetter than increase of assessment forthe relief of extravagant county officials.In that regard we each and all pledgeour most earnest efforts toward the elec-tion of a republican county attorney andcounty commissioner.

Protection, prosperity and patriotismare our watchwords.

The committee on delegates tothe state convention reported thefollowing gentlemen selected, andtliereport wasratifiedby thereon?vention: A. S. Baldwin, John E.Evans, Washington Hinman.
