Republican convention nominates Wheeler for governor
The Republican convention at Cepar Ramos nominated Hiram C. Wheeler for governor and George Van Houten for lieutenant governor on the second ballot. A.J. Hirschel proposed local option with high license, but the plank was defeated 251 to 107, and the platform was adopted unanimously. Senator Lawrence supported the substitute. Raven Wilcox opposed it. The platform endorsed Harrison's administration, tariff revisions, pensions, silver coinage, and anti saloon measures while denouncing Democratic misrepresentations. A supplementary resolution favored holding the next Republican convention west of the Missouri River, naming Omaha. Ad journed sine die. Weather forecast predicts a storm with cooler temperatures and limited rainfall midmonth.
