Nebraska Republicans hold annual state convention in Lincoln

The Nebraska Republican State Convention met at Funk's Opera House in Lincoln on the evening of the 5th. Dr. B B Davis of Red Willow and Dr. George Roberts of Knox were nominated regents, while Judge Maxwell was renominated for the supreme bench on the third ballot with 360 votes to Dilworth 141 and Post 21. The majority backed a prohibition amendment and public-lands policy, with resolutions condemning veto power abuse and favoring Omaha for the 1888 Republican National Convention. A minority report opposed the prohibition pledge and called for a legislative constitutional convention option. The convention also discussed railroad rate regulation and anticipated a decisive, high-profile rail question shaping Nebraska politics.
