OMAHA DAILY BEE- TH g URS DAY, AUGUST 93, 1884, 100,000 Angry Housekeepers! Wish to know why the Royal Baking Powder Company withhold frem the Public the simple intelligence that their Powker contains AMMONIA. Eminent Physicians and Chemists SAY THAT Ammonia is a Dangerous Drug Its use in food is an offense to nature. It is a natural product, of Itisa in any human diet. Tartrate of Lime is found in all Cream of Tartar. vegetable origin, derived from the wines which produces ('ream of Tartar. constituent of the grape, as well as other fruits, The idea that Tartrate of Lime can be converted into lime at the tomperature of the oven is the rankest nonsense, and could only originate in the brain of one totally devoid of chemical knowledge. The ‘‘Royal” contains it. It has no injur- ious action upon the system. The crying of *‘Lime” in the way the Royal Baking Powder Company do, is another trick to extricate themselyes from tho use of the powerful drug Ammonia in their powder, DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT Every housekeoper can prove the truth of our statements by placing a can of the “Royal” top down on a hot stove until heated, then remove the cover, and and smoll—*AMMONIA.” This test will show that the ‘‘Royal” contains AM- MONIA; that DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER does not contain Ammonia, The strength of our powder can be proven by the consumers’ reliable test. The Test of the Oven. DR. PRICE'S CREAM BAKING POWDER is superior to the “Royal.” It contains no Ammonia, The ““Royal” contains Ammonia, ~The use of Ammonia in articles of food I 'believe to be injurious,—ELIAS H.

A noteworthy fact was the absonco of old-time politicians, and the presence of many new faces. All morning long the oflices and corridors of tho hotels were crowded, and there was ne little lobbying going on. While no great enthusiasm was manifested, each candidate had his workers, who were busy looking after the interests of their favorites. Tho delegates began to gather at Boyd's opera house at 10 o'clock, and it was a perfect beo-hive for the hour fol- lowing. Among the gentlemen prosent were Hon. Goo. W. K. Dorsey, chairman of the state central committec; ex-Gov- ernor Nance, Lieutenant Governor Carns, Congressmen Valentive. The left hand proscenium box was occupied by Mra, Gi. W, E. Dorsey and other la- ores. At 10:50 the conventior: was called to dider by Chairman Dorsey, whose ap- pearance on the platform wus the signal for general applause. The call was read by tho secretary,Mr. Mr. Ray Nye, of Fremont. Mr. Seott, of Clay county, nominated Hon. C. H. Gere, of Lancaster county, for tomporary chairman and he was Clay and Bushnell of Cass bolng appoint- od us a committeo to escort him to the platform, Mr. Gere, on taking his seat, briefly returnsd thanks to the convention and Messrs, J. W. Dolan, of Red Willow, Noidig, of Madison, J. W. Blackburn, of Douglas and Brad Slauglter, of Nanco, being nominated for temporary socre- tarics were olocted by acclamation, It was moved that a committeo of eloven be appointed on credentials but a substitute wasoffered by Hon. J. M. Thurston and accepted, to hear the re- port of the executive committee, which had considered all the credentials, found a contest in but one county, Knox, and reported in favor of the delegation headed by Mr. Draper as against thav led by Geo. W. Brooks, Tho report of the exeoutive committec was read by Mr. Nye, of Dodge. On motion the report was adopted, ox- cept the decision of the committee in re- gard to Knox county, which was read afterward. A motion to make the temporary or- ganization permanent met with some ob- Jjection but was finally adopted in accord- ance with the decision of the republican national convention. A motion was made by Mr. Fred Nyo to appoint a committee of seven on plat- unanimously “elected, Messrs. Scott, of |5 nated for the mation, J. L. Burns, of Brown county, was named as elector from the Third district and John Mackin, of Greely county, for the same position by Hon, E. K. Valen tine, who paid an eloquent tribute to the Second district, by accla. character of the nominee. Mr., Mack in's nomination was seconded by sevor- al dolegates and after a rising _voto be ing called for, the name of Mr, Burns fa- was was withdrawn by his supporters in vor of ““tho Trish delegate” and he nominated by acclamation, CHOOSING A GOVERNOR, Judge Morris, of Saline, placed Gov ernor Dawes in nomination for a second term, and said that the impartial and wise courso followed by the ohief executive during his first torm warranted the as sertion that he would receive the unani- mous support of his party. The nomination was heartily and elo- quently indorsed by Hon. Georgo W, E. Dorsey, and also by Judge Hascall, both gentlemen asking that the nomination be by acclamation. The latter gentlomen explained that Mr. Clarke's candidacy was not of his own soeking and that his friends had forced him to the front under a misapprohension of the tacts, Gov. Dawes was renominated by accla- mstion and addressed the convention at length, making a hearty acknowledgment of the honor conferred on him. THe had appreciated the responsibility of the trust imposed on him two yeara ago; had had an idea and stood by it and had ‘always held the good name and honor of our state as not less sacred than his own. He ronewed his former plodgres and promised if elected that there should be no causo of regrot to the party that elected him. The national politics wero referred to and the mission of the ropublican party as still claiming their further services for the future. The people nover failed to give it a rate of confi- dence and will do 8o in the campaign of 1884, whose result ar the natural conso. quences of tho theory of the survival of the fittest would be same as ever before. A party jwith the jowels—a raco froed, Liberty made a fact, a union saved, n na- tion's credit redeemed and upheld, could not fail under the inspiring influ- ence of Blaino and Logan as loaders to march on to another great victory. The governor was frequently inter- rupted by applause and at the close was given threo cheors. LIEU ENANT GOVERNOR, Alfred W. Agee, of Hamilton, and H. H. Shedd, of Saunder wero presented for office of lieutenant governor, a delegate from Hamilton causing some laughter by the promise to bring in 500,000 majority The if Shedd was elected. sulted vote re- 2 53 plause, and loud calls for the suc- App cessful candidate. Mr. Shedd, after his aomination had been made unanimous, addressed the convention, saying that ho could only re- turnthe compliment by dovoting his best and most faithful services to the duties of the oflice, which he would at all times endeavor to do. It was a grand year to be identified with the republican ~party, to whose past record and glorious prom- ise for the future Mr. Shedd paid an el- oquent tribute. SECRETARY OF STATE, Fdward P. Roggen was named for this office, being prosonted by Capt. Phillips, of Lancaster, who spoke of the fair, up- right and impartial record Mr, Roggen had already made., Thero boing no other aspirant to the office Mr. Roggen was nominated by acclamation. He was not in the house so the eonvention did not got any epoech from him. STATE TREASUKER. When this offico was reached it ap- peared as if it would go begging for want of a candidate, as it was some minutes before any nominations were made. Thoy soon came thick enough, Hon. Chas H. Willard, of Thayer, and Hon. Wm. B. Robert, of Burt, were pre- form and was followed by loud calls for |sented, the latter as tho porson Mr. Gere, who made a _short but spicy |upon whom had rightfully fallen addross in which he said the ticket put|the ~mantle ot = tho lato Hon. up by the republicen party this year was one that would insure the old mujority of 30,000 rightfully belonging to the party in this state, The name of James G. Blaine was recoived with great applause. The irman cogratulated the convention on 4 ct the suspicious circumstances surrounding the party campaign both inside and out- slde the state. Blaino and Logan, he said, were gaining ground every day and there is no question but that they will carry every scate north of Mason and Dixon's line and at least two of the southern states. [ Applause. | Hon, Pat O. Hawes Inquired if the report of the executive committee on the Knox county contest was adopted. The chairman replied that it was not.

Nye wanted to know if the Gor- man papers proposed to support Blaine, but only got one German editor to say. Howe wanted to invite them back into the fold by giving them an office.
