Lincoln, Neb., Sept 24.?The Republican State convention met in this city at in n'ninnir f/wrlntf ?in/l ' of flin <>1niu< of tills convention Nebraska will present a political situation which finds no parullel in any other State of the Union. Three great political parties will contest for supremacy in tho State this fall and so nearly equal is their numerical strength that no one can prcdict with any certainty to which the victory will fall. Of tho 211,000 votes cast in the State election of u year ago, the ltopublicans cast in round numbers 80,000, the Independents 71,000, and the Democrats 011,000. Except for Governor Boyd receiving a plurality, it is conceded by both tho old parties that the Independents or Farmers aro liy no means tirod of their new organization and that their vote will not vary materially from that cast a year ago. The convention was called to order promptly at 10 o'clock bv Chairman tvatson, ox ino etato uornrui uow mittee, who made a briuf speech, congratulating the convention upon the large attendance and predicting success for their candidates to be nominated. "It tlio Bigns are true," said Chairman Watson, "the Republican National Convention at Omaha in 1892 will noniuato the next President of the United States, and that mun will be the glorious captain of the gallant ship of State, the skillful navigator, the fearless leader. the bright, the brilliant, the matchless Blaine." At tho mention of the name of Blaine a secret cord from the rear was touched and the portrait of the great exponent of reciprocity dropped insight The effect was magical. Five hundred delegates instantly sprang to their feet and cheerafter cheer resounded through tho halt for tho distinguished Secretary of oiate. In concluding Ills speech, Chairman Watson introduced lion. George W. Tliummel, of Grand Island, as the temporary chairman of the convention. Chairman Tliuinmel wnu greeted with cheers and mada a brief address. The committee on resolutions immediately met and began the formulation of a platform. THE PLATFORM. On roassombllngtho platform was presented and adopted. In it it renews its pledge of allegiance lo the principles of the Republican party; congratulates Presidont Harrison, his wise ami courageous administration, pledging him support in the discharge of his duties; rejoices in the restoration of dignity, vigor and statesmanship in tho conduct of our foreign affairs under tho guiding hand of America's favorite son, James G. Blaine: approves of the silver coinage act of the present administration, 1\?? tho nnfirn nrnrlnnti) of thfl silver mines of the United StateB is lidded to the currency of the people, but denounces tho Democratic doctrine of free nnd unlimited coinage of silver as a financial policy ublo to precipitate the people of overy city and overy Stato in tho union into a prolonged and disastrous depression, and delay tho revival Of business enterpriso and prosperity so ardently desired, and now apparently near; tfie free and unlimited coinage of ailvcr would tend to the hoarding of gold and force the use of cheap money in the payment of wages. Wo are in favor of having every dollar as good as any other dollar. Wo demand the maintenance of the American system of protection to American Industry and labor, the policy that has been Identified with overy period of our national prosperity, and wo admiro the genius oI that heroic statesman, William McKinley, Jr., whom the people of Ohio will make thoir next govornor in recognition of his magnificent sorvices to the country; wo also commend and ondorso the policy of reciprocity, by which the Central and South American nations and tho Span - " ' ' -1 IBll inaiQS lire ucing oiiuhuu w our uuuu upon favorable tonus. Wo nro heartily in favor of tho general provision of tho inter-stnto commerce act and wo demand tho regulation of railway transportation linos in such a manner ns to insure fair and reasonable rates to the producers and consumers of 1 tho country. Wo favor such legislation as will prevent all illegal combinations and unjust exactions by aggregate capital. 1'IIEE ELECTION. Wo "denounce" tho Democratic party for its double dealing with the civil and political rights of tho pcoplo, wherein it appears to favor free silver and untrainincled elections in tho Stato of Nebraska, but never raiseS its voice niniinst tho political outrages practiced against the Republican voters, white and black, throughout tho Democratic Stutes of the South. Chairman Webster, on behalf of tho committee on resolutions, also presented the following: Rtnirrd, That tho Republicans of Nebraska in convention assembled send cordial greeting to tlieir brethren In Ohio who are so nobly battling for tho principles of our pnrtv, for the honest money and reform and fair protective tarilT, and for Mr. Itlnine's ideas of reciprocity. Haohtd, Tho delegates of the Republican party of tho Stato of Nebraska demand, aa 'a matter of right, that the Xatio'Ual Republican Convention of 1892 be hold west of* tho Mississippi river, and we most earnestly'join the great Republican State of Iowa, as expresaod by their convention July 1, 1801, in naming the city of Omaha as the place for holding said convention.

" As if to mako the action still more re- f1 uiurkabie the outsider wasan Irishman, j< with the unmistakable patronymic of " O'Byrne. Heomingly tho Verein took this method with the purpose of couu- 8> teracting, in a way that could not fall ?( to attract notice, tho unpleasant iin- " pression caused by their exclusion of miner Aurcner. The gist of Futlior Zurcber's charges C1 _was that the Clerical Union was an ?{ un-American secret organization, de- * signed to Germanize, as far as possible, K' the control of the Catholic Church in ?1 tho United States by securing the ap- 0< pointment of members of the union to highor ecclesiastical ollices, displacing particularly bishops of Irish extraction who were not in favor of the German cc language in America. From all ac- ai counts nothing dangerous to the public . weal took placo at tho meeting, -which was occupied nearly the entiro time in balloting for oflicers to servo during tlie ? ensuing year.
