The representatives of the republican party in the national convention have vindieated the confidence of the masses of the party in their wisdom and in their solieitudo for thoe success of the republi- can cause and the welfare of the coun- try. They have porformed their duty as true republicans, putting the perpet- uation of the policy and principles of the party above the claims of any man. They have acted as honest men in obey- ing tho wishes of a large majority of tho republican voters of the country. They have justified their endorsement of & republican administration by again pre- senting for the suffrages of the Amori- people the distinguished chief executive, who is justly entitled to the largest share of credit for the administration’s splendid achieve- ments and magnificent success. The renomination of Benjamin Har- rison was the logical outcomo of the sit- untion. It was demanded as a just ac- knowledgment of his great services to the country, and by every consideration of political expediency. It was called for by thoughtful and fair-minded re- publicans who believe that President Harrison is stronger in the respect and confidence of the country than he was four yoars ago, and therefore the most available man to be again intrusted with the party leadership. It was dictated by an unchangeabla conviction in the minds of a majority of the dele- gntes that the welfare of tho party would be best subserved and its success more certainly assured by again taking as its standard bearer the dis- tinguished statesman who has grandly demonstrated his eminent abilities in the highest offico of the republic. The renomination of President Harri- son means a splondid victory for the ro- publican party next November, Stand- ing on a platform which every true re- can publican will approve, he will unite and harmonize the party as no other loader could have done. Without disparaging the eminent statesman who put for- forward to contest the nomination,whose name all republicans honor and whose fame every Ameri n should be proud of, he would not have commanded as a candidate the support that will be given President Harrison. The r are £0 obvious that it would be super- fluous to state them. From every point of view the choice of the convention was the wisest that could have been made, In congratulating the republican party of the nation upon the action of one of the most notable conventions in its history, it is pertinont to suggest that the time has now come to sink all differences, to forget all past contro- ies, to avoid all crimination and re- crimination, and,remembering only that the supreme duty of republicans is to support the candidates deliberately chosen by the delegated reprosenta- tives of the party, to close up the ranks and prepare to march forward in solid column to the schievement of victory. — THE COUNTRY IS SAFE. While the statesmen of all parties are busy with the political problems of the time, shaping the destinies of candi- dates and formulating platforms and policies, the happy western farmer is availing himself of the advantages of- fered by the superb weather and taking the most practical of measures o pro- mote the prosperity of himself and his country. In Nebraska a great army of industrious ngricutturists are every day doing more for public prosperity than they could possibly do by giving their attention to politics. They are tilling the soil, and as a result of their toil a bountiful harvest will be poured into the country’s lap this year, if all signs fail not. Reports from all parts of this state show that the wonderfully favorablo weather that has followed the rains is giving a great impetus to the growing crops. Instead of the short yield of corn which predicted by many two or three weeks ago, the crop promises to be plentiful beyond the hopes of the wost sanguine. A great corn crop will perform wonders for the prosperity of Nebraska, and incidentally it will con- tribute to the prosperity of the country at large. The results of the farmer’s labor, with the inestimable blessing of such wenther as the presont, will save the country, even if the statesmen fail, S ——— ons vo! THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORAL. As to every cardinal policy and prin- ciplo of the republican party tho plat- form adopted by the Minneapolis con- vention is clear, strong and explicit, Properly recognizing protection, with reciprocity, as tho londing question be- fore the American people, the platform reaflims the doctrine of protection aud credits to the application and mainte- nance of that policy the progress nnd prosperity of tho country, The just cluim is put forth that reviprovity has given enlarged markets for the prod of our farms and factories, and ivis de- clared that if this practical business mensure shall be left to the execu- tion of a republican administration it will eventuully give the Unitea States control of the trade of the world, The republican party has always fave ored a bimetallic currency, snd the plat- form declares that the party still de- mands the use of both gold and silyer under such legislative provisions as shall malntaln them uta parity, *so that the purchasing and debt-paying powor® of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all vimes equal Without distinetly pronounc- ing against the freo and unlimited coin- ago of silver, the currency plank of the platform plainly inplies ~opposition to that poliey as incompatible with a sound und stable bimetallio curroncy, The action of the administration in bringing ubout a monetary conference to discuss the question of an internutional ratio Detwoen gold und silver is commended. While it is possiblo to claiw that this plank {s something of a concession to the silver interest, there is no encour- agement in it for the advocates of froe coinnge. It was a republican congress that enacted the anti-trust law in response to a popular demand for such logislation, and the platform reafirms tho opposi- tion of the party to all combinations of capital organized to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citi- zens. The progross and improvoment of the postal service is due to the wise and liberal policy of the republican party, couspicuously shown under the present administration, and the plat- form favors the further progress of this sorvice by extonding the facilities of free delivery to rural communitios. It also renows the pledge that letter post- age shall be reducead to 1 cent as soon ns this can be dono consistently with the maintenance of the Postoffice department and the highest efiiciency of the service, On all maiters relating to the materinl advancement of the country the plat- form reaflirms the well known principles of the party and pledgesit to carry them out. The utterance in favor of a free and honest popular ballot and the denuncia- tion of outrages upon colored citizens in the south for political reasons ought to have the approval of all good citizens, regardless of their volitical affiliations. The republican party has always been faithful to the interests of the veteran soldiers of the republic and is pledged anew to a watchful care and recognition” of their just claims upona grateful people. The platform concludes with a hearty endorsement of the administra- tion of President Harrison. It is a declaration of principles which every frue ropublican will accept without question or qualification, and one that will strongly appeal to tho intelligence and patriotism of the people. A QUESTION OF UNITY, Commenting upon the result of the Syracuse convention, the Brooklyn Kagle snys: “Now for democratic unity every- where.” Considering the prevailing scarcity of domocratic unity throughout the country, and especially the extraor- dmary lack of the article in New Yorlk, this would seem to be intended for a joke. Thore has been very little unity anywhere in the state conventions of the democracy this year. On Wednes- duy democratic conventions were held in Maryland, Maine, Alabama and Mis- sissippi. In none of these states was there harmony enough to warrant the conclusion that tho party is united. In Baltimore an offort was made to sccure tho pussagoe of a resolution favoring the nomination of Grover Clevelaad, but it was defeated and the delegates were left froe to use thoir own judgment. In Alabama the convention adjourned for a day because of a split that throatened trouble. In Mississippi tho delegates wera not instructed, but the Cleveland element controlled the convention. This is a stato that tho opponents of the ex- president declare he cannot carry if he is nominated, strange as such a predic- tion may seem. Inthe Muine conven- tion there was a warm debate ovor a propusition to instruct the delegates for Cleveland, and it was defeated. In vory few slate conventions of the democrucy this yoar has harmony reigned A majority of them have heen carried by the Cleveland men, but they havo in almost evory case had a fight on their hands. Mr. Cleveland may have the delogates at Chicago, but his nomination cannot be urged on the ground that his candidacy will produce unity. THURSDAY, June 16, is the day.on which the péoplo of Douglas county will vote upon the Nebraska Central bond vropesition. This is a matter of much greater practical importance to thé citi- zens of this county than the question as to who will be the next president of the United States, and should therefore re- ceive the larger measure of their atten- tion. In the remaining days before the election the friends of the project—and their numbor is growing daily—should redouble their efforts and keep their zeal at white heat. It is of the most vital importance to Omaha how this question is determined next Thursday. 1l the bond proposition wins the good offects will be visiblo within sixty days, for there is capital to be invested if that is the result. If the proposition is do- feated the discouraging effect will be damaging. The signs are now most favorable to success, but it is important that the friends of the Nebraska Cen- tral project for emancipating Omaha from a thraldom that has greatly re- tarded her growth and prosperity shall keep uctivaly at work. — THE Nebraska Manufacturers exposi- tion will open this evening, and it will bo an exhibit of & most interesting char- acter. There has been astonishing pro- gress made in the preparations during the last few days, and while all the manufacturors who have engaged spaco will not have their displays in complete shape, the large mujority will be ready and a most interesting ocecasion is assurod. Tho exposition will ba opened with appropriate exercises, in which Governor Boyd und Mayor Bemis will tuke part. A most attractive musical program has been arranged, and it can be promised that those who attend the opening of the exposition this evening will have a memorable experience, It can be stated without qualitication that in ite completenoss this exhibit of the manufacturing industries of Nebraska will be by far the finest ever held in.the state and cannot fail to prove a revela~ tion to the people of Nebraska. THE national competitive drill which will be held in Omaha from June 13 to 20 promises to be by far the most suc- cossful in the history of these very inter- esting and useful militavy contests. Boetween fifty and sixty finely drilled compuanies from all parts of the country will participato and each will exert its very best efforts in the contest. A su- perb exhibition of marching, maneuver- ing and of proficiency in the manual of arms is therefore assured. The prepa- rations are about complete for the ra- ception and entertainment of the citizen soldiers, and for a week the fair grounds will be the scene of unprecedented inter- est and enthusiasm. The drill will be & great attraction, and if favored with fino woather ought to draw thousands of people to the city;in addition to those who will accomiiny the military. The capacity of Omulia jur entertaining vies itors will be very {aily tested during the next two weeks, buf there need be no doubt that every demand will be met.

Yesterday Oregon eleoted two congressmen by republican majorities of 8,000 or 4,000 each. ~ The Pacifie coast is not amping ground for the democratic Cinomnati Commercial: Oregon touches off the first big gun of the republican cam- rli m of 1892. The republicans capture the oglslature, elect thelr candidate for supreme judge by more than 6,000 plurality and elect thelr two congrossioncl candidates by an ag- grogate plurality of more than 7,500. In their tiguring on the electoral vote the democrats, for some reason, have beon putting Oregon among the doubtful states. In 1883 Oregon gave Harrison and Morton 6,760 plurality. New York Tribune: Oregon has repeated the sugury of repubiican success which choered the national convention four years ago. Now, as thon, the deliberations of tha grand party councit have opened with news of victory from tlie distant Macific state. ‘The republicans have carriod the election of both members of ¢éngrbss Jorities; they have®élected their caudidate for suprome judge Oy at least 6,000 plurality, d they have both branches of the legis- lature.
