United States Government. If you believe that the Income taic It Junt , K you befitsvo that It ought to bo retained as a. part of the tax rritem o our government , then you Jiave the right lo ak vtliy the republican party In ltd platform has not oven considered Uit * Important question , UNION PACIFIC MOIITCIAOE3. "There 1 another question In which our people have a direct and vital Interest. I refer to the Indebtedness of the Pacific rail roads to the United States "government. I am uurprlsed that the republican platform was silent upon this moxt Important ques tion. I need not recall the history of th"sc great enterprises , undertaken when people be- llovecl they were almost too gigantic to bo accomplish d , but , by the help of the general Kovernmont , these roods were constructed from the Missouri river across half the conti nent lo the Pacific coast. One of the con ditions Imposed by congress In granting aid lo thcso roads was that the capital stock should bo paid up In full. Another was that a certain proportion of tha net earnings nhould be set aside for the reimbursement of Ihe government for the aid extended to them , The Pacific roads made no attempt to comply with these conditions. The capital stock was never paid up In full , and from time to tlmo the stockholders have toted largo divi dends to themselves. Instead of attempting to repay to the United Slates treaiury the money with which the roads had been largely constructed Let us see haw the Indebted ness of these roads to the government has grown. In 1885 the Ind btedness of the Pacific roads to the government had reached the enormous proportions of $108,000,000. In 1890 the amount had Increased to $123,000- 000 , and In 1891 , on October 1 , the amount was $138.000,000. These toads owe more to the government today , by $30,000,000 , , than they did In 1835 , and yet they have paid dividends to Ihe amount of $63,000,000. "I believe In the forcloaure of Ihe gov ernment's mortgage upon Ihe Pacific rail roads , and It I am elected there will be no extension of this Indebtedness , so far as I can prevent , but , on the contrary , I shall do all I can to bring about foreclosure on the very first hour of theflrst day of the session. I will say candidly that I doubt If the foreclosure of the government's inort- gftga will bring to the people a single dollar. But If you extend the loan , from whom the government eventually collect the money ? Why , from the people. If I employ an agent to collect a gum of money from a debtor , and that agent alter collecting the money places It In his pocket and embezzles It , who stands the loss , the man who pays It to the agent or myself 7 Naturally , I will Ita compelled to stand the loss. Would there be Any Justice In a law which would make Iho man who had paid the money to mi- authorized agent pay the amount over again ? "Whoso agent U the Pacific railroad ? The agent of the government. The road has at- ready collected from the people along Its Una lufllclent to pay the Indebtedness to the government. Shall we now authorize- this road to collect this Indebtedness from the people along the line again ? I deny the justice of the proposition of the government to let the- road collect tlio wliolo amount all over acaln , and I desire to express tt as my opinion that If the government makes an extension ot the time for fitly years that thft roads will owe the- government more than they do now , with no brighter pros pect that the Indebtedness will bo paid at the end of the time. " ON THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM. Mr. Bryan devoted the latter part of his opening hour of the debate to an elaborate discussion of his views on the silver ques tion , outlining his poslton and giving his reasons for his faith In the efficacy of the whlto metal to restore the health of the Industrial and commercial world. Ho said In port : "I wish now to briefly refer to ono question before pasilng to the silver Issue. That Is the question of the Issue of our present paper currency , The republican party Is silent upon the question , Our platform has stated our position In no uncertain words. I wish to ask my republican frlond to tell why his platform Is silent on this Important ques tion , and lo ask him what ho will do when he Is elected United States senator , as ho hopes to bo. I endorse every word my platform says upon this subject. It declares that the f right to Issue money Is an attribute ot sever eignty. If I am elected United States sona- k - there shall never bo another national bank It my vote can prevent It. There are ' two grave objections to having the currency Issued by private corporations. The flrst Is that the national banker U enabled to use SO per cent of his capital , and , at the < ame time , draw Interest from the government upon the whole ot It. Again , It places the control ot Iho volume of currency in the hands of private parties. Now , tha value of a dollar depends entirely upon the numbers of that dollar In circulation , and If we glv * the control of Iho volume of the currency to these private Individuals , we give them the control ot the value of every dollar In circu lation. There is no trust or combination to day so great or so powerful a a the money trust , and I pledge you that I will live up to my platform and not vote to put the control of any part of the national currency Into Ui- ' hands of private corporations of any charac ter , whatsoever. "I oak my friend hero to tell you whether to will supplement his party platform. 1 I ask him to loll you what he will do In re gard to this matter. Will he tell you , or will ho lei you guess ? CONCERNING FIICH COINAGE. "Now , I have but twenty minutes left In which to discuss another very important question , My platform reads : 'We favor the immediate restoration of the tree and unlim ited coinage of gold and sliver at Iho present ratio of 1C to 1without walling for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. ' Great and prolonged npplause from the demo crats. ) Hero , is the republicn plank : 'The renubllc.xti party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money , with such restrictions and under such provisions , to bo determined by legislation , as will se cure the maintenance of the- parity of values of the two metals- ' ( Prolonged applause and cheering from tha republicans. ) "Now , I want my opponent to tell you what that means. ( Cries ot "Ho will do tt , " nnd cheers from the republicans. ) "You are confident that he will do It ? Ile- newcd cheering , ) In the platform which he said ho would make If he had been called up on ho did not endorse this plank. Ho de clared tor the free coinage of the American product. Hla plank Is not In the state platform. It was not In the national plat form. Now , I want to fay to you that men who stood upon that Minneapolis platform went down to congress and voted for the re peal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. They voted against free Coinage at the ratio of 1C to 1 or at any other ratio , "Wo bollevo In the ticatinent of gold and silver exactly alike. But. somebody says that If we admit the silver free from all the world the mints nnd the United Stales would be flooded with foreign silver. If that asser tion Is made this afternoon I shall demand a bill of particulars. I want to know where the foreign t > llver will como from. It will not coma from France- , because In that country silver is worth more than It Is In the United Stalesat the present ratio In this country. It will tiot come from any foreign country , because in nil those countries It Is worth more than It would be hero If coined at the present ratio of 16 lo 1. "Now Just a few words as to ratio. Those who fat or the free coinage of the American product do not tell us nt what ratio.

" KILLINGS I'OPULAnt/i' I3XPHESSED. Mr. Bryan's close was greeted with ap plause and cheers and he sat down while neatly every lemocrat In the nudlonco was yelling himself hearse with approval. Jn Iho midst of this din John Maul of Lincoln arose and Introduced Hon. John M. Thurston , The applause which greeted the distinguished republican from Omaha was moro than a mere tribute ol welcome. It wns on ovation such as has seldom been accorded to a public speaker In Nebraska. It exceeded In Its fervor the demonstration given to Governor McKlnley upon the occasion of his recent visit to Nebraska , and It was several inln- titea bdiore the speaker could proceed. In opening his debate Mr. Thurston said : "Ladles and Gentlemen : I must bog your indulgence for the condition of my voice. Hut I can assure you that It has tha true republican proclivities , for the longer It Is used the better It gets. I am here by Invita tion to discuss In Joint debate the Issues between the democratic and republican par ties , and I do not propose to bo switched off Into a discussion of the personal ambitions ot any candidate for office. Neither the soft-shell democrats nor the hard-shell pops will have anything to .say about the election of the next United States senator from Nc- braska. ( Applause , from the republicans. ) The next senator from Nebraska will be selected from Iho councils of the republican parly. ( Ilenowed applause from republicans , ) I do not care what hla name Is. The repub- llcan'parly has twenty men within Its ranks that are In every way qualified to ably repre sent Iho state In the senate. As for mo , I have nowish , no hope , no nmbltlon that Is not first , last and all the tlmo for the re publican party and Its eternal principles. As for mo , I would rather go down Into Ihe ocean of Irretrievable disaster than to ride Into a safe political haven under a nag ot expediency or under the banner of a dema gogue. ( Cheors. ) "Thero Is a difference In the manner In which the people of the United States regard party platforms. The people of this country have Jong- since learned to expect and be- llevo that the republicans will crystallze their platforms Into legislation. Every plank In the republican platforms of the past has been Impressed upon our constitutional amendments and upon our statute books. No one expects anything from a democratic platform. They are looked upon merely ns expedients upon which men hope to ride Into political office , HIS STAND ON THE INCOME TAX. "I have bc n asked by my frlond here what the republican party proposes to do about the income tax. I desire to say to him In re ply that the people of this country are not so much Interested In the Incomes of the rich as they are Interested In securing. In come manner. Incomes for the poor. ( Applause. ) The prosperity of the United States does not depend upon Iho miserable pittance of tax that may bt > extracted from the pockets of the rich , but upon the general Incomes of the great moss of American worklngmcn of the United States. The republican party , when It comes Into power , will sco to It that worklngmcn will have places where tlicy may earn the little Incomes that go to make up the prosperity of the nation , "The democratic party once made It neces sary for the government to Impose an Income tax In order to raise sufficient funds with which to put down the rebellion. At that tlmo every republican who voted for that tax was assailed by the democratic party as an enemy to prosperity The Uem ocratlc press denounced the Income lax as unjustifiable , and today David 13 , Hill , the greatest democrat In the United States , de nounces that tax as eloquently as my young friend hero urges Its maintenance. It Is a little singular that within eighteen months after the democratic party came Into power It was compelled to resort to the Income tax In order to pay the expenses of the. govern ment. Speaking for the republican party , Insofar as I am able. I will say that that party proposes , when It Is returned to power , to place upon the statute books a law Im posing a protective tariff upon foreign made goods for the benefit of American labor , and up to the present tlmo In the history of our government a protective- tariff haa been suf ficient to maintain prosperity without the re sort to the Income tax. The fnconio tax Is all well enough when the government can collect revenue in no other way. Hut the protective tariff will make an Income tax " ' absolutely unimportant in this co"u'ntry7 THURSTON AND THE IJNION PACIFIC. "My friend on the other side has chal lenged me to a discussion of the question ot the foreclosure of the mortgage held by the government against the Union Pacific roads. Iio has not alluded to the fact thai I am employed by that road , but he has done so at other places. I want to answer him now , for I cannot follow him all through his campaign. I come to Nebraska twenty- five years ago , a young man , penniless and unacquainted. Whatever I nm , I have made myself. I am proud of the fact that after seventeen years of toll I was selected un solicited to take the head of the law de partment of the Union Pacific railway. I am proud of the fact that when one year ago lhat road pawed Into the hands of five re ceivers two of them republicans and three of them democrats appointed by the attor ney general of the present administration , I was selected as counsel for the govcrnmenl and the circuit court. Since that time I have not been In the employ of any railroad com pany on earth. When I dlo I want to leave It us a legacy to my boy that his father was true lo his clients , whether hla faith fulness to their Interests made htm popular or not : and If the people of this state select mo for their servant I will bring to the po sition all the loyalty I have ever shown to my clients In the past. ( Applause from the republicans. ) "Mr. Bryan has read from a minority re port submitted to the senate by Governor Patttson , who declares that foreclosure ol the Union Pacific mortgage would not bring a single- dollar to the people ot the Unltetl States. Mr. Bryan admits to you that the holders of the first mortgage would take the road , and ho has the assurance to urge thai the government give up the only Interest In these roads It has. Grover Cleveland , who was president ot the United States when that report was nuulo , urged In a message to con gress the passage of a law that would secure to the United States the debt owing to It by Iho Pacific roads. The present attorney general has made the same recommendation. Doth democratic committees in the house and senate have declared In favor of gather ing the assets of the Pacific roads and to collect from the fragments at least a portion of the money duo thegovernment. . I there fore take tt for granted that W. J. Hryan stands alone In his position , and that he would therefore have no voice In th fcctlle- mcnt dl the question If his party remains In power , Speaking for myself , I declare to you that K I ever stand In tlio senate nn a representative of this people I will endeavor to secure the payment ot every dollar thai Is duo the United States , and that has beer wrongfully taken from the people. \YIIEISK Iin STANDS ON CUKURNCV. "This honest gentleman has challenged mete to a discussion of Iho question ot paper money of the United Stales. Ho has fialf that Iio was opposed lo permitting any bank by stale or national legislation from Issuing money ; and yet , the last national couventloi of hard and soft shell democrats dcclaroi for the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank circulation and declared for tlio right of state banks to again flood Ihe country with red dog ; wild cat currency. Once more have to nay that my Vrlond turns against to Die record * ot hla party on that question and I think had better * t off that platform for he ha already turned It half over. "Let mo state lo you a great eternal truth of government , and I wish you to remember It In the day i lo come. The people of our country arc not so much Interested In the In kind of money ue have as they are flr t In . having every dollar buy AS much as every other dollar , and reconJ , In having oppor tunities for American worklrgmen ta put their Bw at and muscle Into those kind of dollars. Wo hare In this country today the best system of money and finance the world ins ever t n. Ted a jour natlonnt banks : ave onlr a 24 or 3 per cent bond to secure )0 ) per cent of their circulation , and of that they are compelled to par 1 per Ctrl tax on tliolr circulation , and today n national bank note can stand bcaldo a gold dollar In any commercial marl of the world without fear of repudiation. I need not call your atten tion to the fact that In the last ton years national hank circulation tins materially de creased. KB proof that there Is no undue ; > ro/lt / In tha system. For , if any unfair ad vantage of profit accrued to the national jankcr , the number of mich banks would In crease Instead of diminish. nilYAN GUKAT IN ONE THING. "My eloquent friend Is truly great upon one proposition , and that Is his advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. . He IB ? reat upon this question , because It requires neatness for a man to carry with him a IKMJple who have been hampered by prejudice of centuries. My friend IJryan Is also the trlond of the worklngman , nnd he stands liere today nnd Mils them that demonetiza tion of sliver has Increased the vnlile of. every gold dollar In existence. I don't know how much ho pretends this Increase amounts to. Ho has never told us. nut a dlstlnculahed co-laborer of his from Texas , a man known a& Cyclone Davis , has como all the -way to Nebraska to tell us. It was necessary to Import a statesman from Texas that homo of the tarantula , the land ot the cactus and the coyote , the paradise of the train robber , the country where the Infant child Is suckled , not at the breast of Its mother , but at the muzzle of a U-callber , self-cocking revolver. ( Storm of hisses from democratic side , con tinuing for some time. ) Cyclone Davis tells us that the value of every gold dollar baa been doubled by the tlemonltlzatlon of sil ver. ( A voice from the audience , "That's right. ' ) ' 'Was ' It -worklngman who said that7 ( Cries of 'Yes , ' 'No. ' ) "It It was , then I wont to tell him that tno wages of that worklngnian have been doubled by tlie demonetization of allver , because cause every day'a labor In the United States since 1878 has been paid for In gold dollars. Whether ho was paid In gold , silver or paper , the uorklngman has been able to take his dollar to the nearest bank and ex change It for a gold dollar , without deprecia tion or charge for exchange. "Was It a farmer that said that ? Then I want to tell him that at the end o > { Ben ' Harrison's administration , it ho got 70 cents a bushel for his wheat , ho really got $1.40 for It , because ho was paid In gold coin or Us perfect equal. , "I do not wonder they seek to find some method or convincing the farmer that the depreciation of the price , of wheat was due to something else besides the success of the democratic party. Tim fact Is that the prospect - pect of the- return of democratic principles closed the doors of American Industry and brought down the price ot American , wheat. My friends , It was nott the demonetization of silver that struck down the price df wheat. It was the withdrawal of the genius of re publican legislation. "My friend on the other sldo only differs with the republican pg.rty n one particular. The republican party stands for bimetallism In this country just to the point where one dollar Is as good as any other dollar. My friend stands , for the free and unlimited coinage of silver without regard to the parity ot the two metals. MONEY AS AN ETHICAL PROPOSITION. "What Is money ? Money Is a standard of value. I once saw a gold coin that had been dug from the catacombs-of Rome , where It had been buried beneath the dust of centu ries. Upon Its face It bora the impress of Caesar. ' Since that coin had been laid there Imperial Rome , that sat "on" the "eternal hills and ruled the world , had crumbled to decay. Her legions were dispersed , and were to be found only in the dust of her palaces , and her triumphal arches had been burled In thu ruins of antiquity * Her power was gone , and her language dead and unspoken ot mankind : but that gold coin today , * with Its Impress of Caesar , will circulate In every mart tn the world , Just as It did on the day when Ilomo was In her glory and Caesar was crowned of mon. " ( Applause. ) Here Mr. Thurston produced two Mexican silver dollars ' , and holding them up In view of the au'dlenco , ho said : "Hero are- two pieces of money , represent ing In their own country $1 each , which I stepped into a bank and purchased for CO cents apiece. Moth bear the stamp of the eagle , but tjle'eaglo Is not the bird of free dom. In tha United States our sliver dollar contains 412 grains. In the Mexican dollar there are 417 % grains , but I bought two.of the Mexican dollars tor one -American dollar. How could I do It ? Because the republican party , which had In fourteen years ot repub lican legislation coined and circulated' sixty times as many silver dollars as had been coined from the birth ot Christ down to the demonetization , had made qvery one of those dollars the equal of any dollar on earth ( great applause from the. republicans ) , and just so lonp is our government shall legis late so that the poor man's dollar will buy as much as the rich man's , just so long will a dollar of the United States buy two Mexi can dollars. ( Applause. ) "What does tree and unlimited coinage of silver mean ? It means that any man who has a Mexican dollar can bring It across the line , take it to the United States mint , change the stamp on Its face and get for It a gold dollar , whereas he can now get for it only 50 cents. In every country on the globe where you find free coinage you Hnd that wheat is cheaper and that men are cheaper. In the two great free coinage nations on earth what do we find ? China has free coinage of silver , and statistics show that every dollar of gold lias been drained from China and that country is upon a silver basis today. Mexico has free coinage and you can not flnd in the City ot Mexico today a gold dollar unless you purchase It from a money leaner and give him two Mexican silver del lars for It. "Lot mo give a word of advice , to be remembered In the days to come. Don't Issue a dollar ot any kind unless that dollar can bo put into the pockets of the workingman - man with just as many cents in It as In the dollar that goes Into the pockets of the millionaire. Our proposition Is , let the United States take care of Its own gold and silver , and let other nations take care of themselves.'a uro not interested In their condition. But if prosperity comes merely ftom the number of dollars In circulation , I have a better scheme for the I filiation of the currency than that proposed by my friend llryan. Our mountains are full of silver. Let the government appoint a scientific com mission and measure the silver inthe , veins. It's there on deposit. Then let the Government take the whole job lot just as II Btands and issue silver certificates against the mountains. ( Laughter and applause from the republicans. ) LACK OF MONEY NOT THE TROUBLE. "Tho republican party says to the man who contribute nothing to the support of this government : This country Is under the pro tpctlon of the stars and stripes , and the re publican party will see to It that the Ameri can workshop , the American forest , the American farm and the American mine Is protected against the pauper labor of any country on earth. The trouble Is not the lack til money , but the lack of opportunity. "When onca more the republican party comes Into power It will put money In circulation not by opening the nihils ot ( he United States to the mines of the world , but by opening the doors of American factories to the brawn and muscle of labor. It Is not necessary that the eloquence of man should bo Invoked for the republican party. We have the eloquence of smokeless chimneys- , closed factories. Idle men and hungry children to speak for the party. It proposes to put ( Ires beneath those smokeless chimneys , open the doors of those factories , put light In those desolate cottages , food in the mouths of those hungry children. Since the democratic party came Into power the price of labor has tone down , the price of'wheat has gone down , the price ot men lias gene down. Everything has gone down In the United States except republicanism , and that Is on the boom the whole country over. Oregon by the western cea has spoken , and BO has Maine by the Atlantic coast. "Tha republican parly will rehabilitate American Industry and build up American commerce onceagain. . It.wlll do this by the r gonlus of legislation which the republican party has exhibited In this country for nearly the last half a century. It Is for the Ameri can Hair and for everything U > at Is for the development of this great country from sea rea. Mark what I say. There was fusion In September and there will be confusion In November. The republican column Is - forming ing for the republican advance In 1S94. In that coU'mn ara the men who have ever stood for the honor and glory of the nation , the ranks are thoze stalwart democrat ! .who wilt not sco their party turned aeldo to assist the ambition of any * 4ngl9 man. The v republican column Is marching under the In I dearest Has that man ever bore. It la marching - to ing on In th& ccmpanlonthlp of the loyal , tbt f true , and the brave on to th Inspiring music of the ur.'inon along the grandest highway of a n llon"i glory and to a future of a people's liBflb. * " * MU. BRYAN'S nEJOJNDEH. Al tha conclusion ot Mr. Thurston'a address there was a roar of applause from the Immense - menso audience. In the midst ot which C J. Smyth introduced Mr. Hryan for Ills closing speech. Ho was received with an ovation , and In answering his opponent's arguments said In part : "Olvo mo your attention , my 'friends ' , I want to use the twenty minutes and then you can use nil the tlmo you want after wards. My friend has told you of the number of democrats who are going to vote the republican ticket this year. Ah , tny friends , don't you worry. Those democrats who have voted for tariff reform for thrllyyears are not going to desert - sort It now. These men whoso political convictions have been sufficient to bar them out of place and power In Ne braska arc not going to kneel now to the people who have persecuted them for thirty years without causo. My friend reminds mo In what ha lias Baldof , the man who went Into Dclmonlco's ten sell some frog legs. Ho said to the manager : 'Do you buy frog legs1 'We do/ the manager replied. 'Will you lake what I have to sell ? ' 'Yes. sir. ' 'Well , I will bring a good many. ' 'Drlng all you have. ' 'I tlrtnk I will have a car load. ' 'Wo will take them.1 'Maybo I will So he wont out , and the next day ho came In with debt frog tegs on a string nnd handed thorn In. 'Well , the manager said , 'where are your two carloads ? ' The frog catcher replied : 'When I went through the swamp yesterday I thought there were two carloads , but when I went after them I couldn't find but four frogs. ' ( Laughter and applause. ) My friends , you go through the republican"swamp this year and It Is nil swamp , my friends , that you will have to go through If you go through the republican crounds you go through the republican swamp , and you hear them croaking and you think there are lots ot them , but can't ' you bring In eight frogs' leas In November. JUST A LITTLE PERSONAL. "My friends , cvo | mo my tlmo. I want It all. My friend has said that it la better to ride Into harbor on republican principles than tbwin by being a demagogue. If ho means to apply that term to I mo , assume * what ever responslblllty'lhere Is In it , but It these latter days they call him a statesman whose oir Is turned to catch the slightest pulsa tion of a pocket book , but ho la a demagogue who dares to llstoa to the heartbeat of humanity. "My friend refers to the former Income lax and said they needed it to put down the rebellion. I did think wo might have ono debate without hearing ot the rebel lion. You stop a republican with argu ment , and the. first thing ho goes back to Is the rebellion. I was born In I860 , too late to show my loyalty to my country on the battlefield , but I love my country and my fellow mart as well as any man who carried a musket from ' 60 to ' 61 , and I will go as far today to. bring freedom to the whlto race ot the United States as the sol diers went to bring freedom to the colored race. My friend has said that he Is op posed to the Income tax , and ho says that Mr. Hill was opposed to It. Ho was opposed to It , and so were our northern democrats , and so were all the re publicans , except a few. But , my Yrlends , when I como to vote on these questloim David I ) . Hill docs not cast my vote. No east ern democrat cafst my vote. I bellcvo In ami Income taxbecause ) It is just , and If I am elected I shall vate for It It every demo crat east of the Mls lsslppl river vote against It , and all the rt' uHllcana vote against It. "Also , my friendsays that the national , democratic platform declares In favor ot taking the tax oft of state banks. Yes , but there Is one point on which I differ from my 'irlend. ' When his platform says anything then he believes It because his platform says It. I never have believed a thing that I did not think was true slply because a platform said It. I repudiated that plank In the plat form when I came before the people of Ne braska two years ago. I told them that if I was elected I would vote against taking the tax elf the state banks , and I voted and spoke against taklnc the tax off the state banks. Why did I do 1 that ? Ltecauso. I don't believe In state banks of Issue , and It does not ma'Ko me believe In them to have a plank put Into the democratic platform in 'favm-Bf-thcm.- " " " " ' - - The balanceofBryan's address was de- "Voted to on exposition of his' "views on the money questions. At the close of Mr. Bryan's speech there was a rush for the platform and such a hand shaking has not been seen In the city for a long time now. A group of students occu pied ono sldo of the hall and sot up a chorus of : "Rah , Rah , Bryan , Rah , " nnd men. woinen and children stumbled over each other In an effort to shake his hand. WILL SOT 1'jet.iiiitR. Reception to Hdirnrd llluko Mudo nu Orcn- nlnu for Irish Illsncitilon. ' NEW YOniC , Oct. 17. The members of the Irish National Federation , who are preparing the reception to be tendered in the Lenox Lyceum tonight to Edward Blake , M. P. for South Longford , Ireland , have received a dis agreeable surprise by the refusal ot Mayor Gllroy to preside , after he had agreed to do so a week ago. When , the mayor wns apf" preached by Patrick Glcason and the other members of the arrangements committee and asked to help along he consented. A tlay or so ago the Irish Independent party , which represents the elements of Irishmen In this country who favor aggressive or Parnell methods In Irish affairs Instead ot the doctrine of agitation , prepared a circular which was sent broadcast through the city and vicinity. It made a direct onslaught on Mr. Blake , calling upon all loyal Irishmen to repudiate him arid the party he repre sents. "When I heard of Mayor Ollroy's Inten tion to preside , " said Judge Lynn last night , "I lost , no time In communicating with him. and made him acquainted with the facts of the case and with the actual standing of the men and the party he represents among all sections of honest , patriotic Irishmen { n this country. But I found that others had bfon ahead of me , Several of the wealthiest and most Influential Irishmen In this city had talked with the mayor and had convinced him that his presence at the reception would bo a grave mistake. Then he promptiy withdrew his consent to be present , " I'Uhlng nnd Hunting In Labrador Iluvo Keen 1'nor tntllnns In H.'ntreim , MONTREAL , Oct. 17.

At ths school at Brighton , a village In West Virginia near Parkersburg , a quarrel amog the boys de veloped Into a shooting and cut tine scrape , which Willis Gardner , aged 15 , was shot death and his little brother , aged 8 , fatally Blabbed.

He was long on double pay but nhorl on verAoity. HOLCOMI1 CAN HE TKUSTKU. Mr. Itoscwntor made an urgent appeal to Iho voters present to join together to resist the dictation of the railroad ring. He salt ) : "My own personal Interests are Interwoven with these of Omaha and ot Nebraska. Every dollar I have In Ilia world , at well ns all I could borrow , lias been Invested In Omaha. I have brought up my family hero , and It Is here that I expect to bo burled , A calamity would Atrlko me. as hard as any one In this city , and It I left Omaha today I would leave everything I have In the world bohlnd me. There are men whoso names appear on this manifesto of the business men who intent leave alt they have In Omaha and still live very comfortably , if I can risk all I have on the flection of Judge Holcomb , It Is certain that I am sincere In my belief that the Interests of the state will not suffer , "Tho great and absorbing question today la whether the people shall govern them * solves or allow an oligarchy of the corpora tions and railroads to dictate whom we shall elect lo ofllce. If they can do this now they can do it for all time , and the people will ba no better off than the South Carolina negroes. Populism has become rampant In Nebraska because the people have been denied the right of self-government. " Ildfcrrlng again to the candidate for gov ernor , Mr. rtosewater denied that Thomas J. Majors was the legitimate candidate ol the republican party. Ho had boon , nominated by a convention which had boon packed by the railroad lobby , and sixty ot the delegates had boon selected at the resilience- J. H , Ager. without regard to the wishes of the voters of Lancaster county. Mr. MacColl had paid several hundreds ot dollars as railroad fare to and from the con vention for men who had been pledged lo him , but after their arrival In Omaha Ihsy had been bought up by the Majors ring. But oven If ho had been honestly declared the choice of the republican party ho was unlit to have the support of any honest man. Would Herman Kountzo , J. II. Mlllnrd or Henry Wyman put this man behind their counters and entrust htm with $50.000 or $5,000 of their money ? They had a high ntnhdard for business but a. low one for poll- tics. The scandals of the legislative oil room , had been unknown until Majors became lieutenant governor , and the orgies that took place In that room were an eternal blot on the fair tin mo of tha state. BECAUSE AN UNCLEAN MAN. It had been charged , continued the speaker , that hla opposition to Majors was the result of personal malice. Mr. Majors had said In the convention that ho had been pursued by The 13ee for fifteen years. But In subsequent speeches In Omaha and at Fremont he had admitted that up to 1891 ho had been on pleasant terms with that paper. Belore the" convention which nominated Majors , Mr William A. Paxlon had como to the speaker ind asked him If lie would not be reconciled to Mr. Majors. It was then stated that Majors was In the city and wns anxious to become reconciled and was willing to do anything that hi ) , might ask. On that occa sion ho had told'Mr. I'axton that he would liave nothing IP dowith Mr. Jlajors. He- mil no malice against him. but he was not n , clean man and lie could not consistently glvo him his support. Neither had he- any feeling of hostility oward the railroads. Ho did not object to ho railroads , but to their methods. They lad no right to- hire men to pack leglsla- ures , conventions and Juries. This sort ot thing had continued until the people had be come aroused , and now they proposed to elect n clean man ns governor of Nebraska nnd to say to the. republican party that it must put up clean men hereafter. This was not the first time that the people of a com monwealth had rebuked corruption In public office by defeating the candidate of the party that had suffered It to exist. Pennsylvania , which liad given President Harrfson C3.000 majority , gave Mr. Pattlson , the democratic candidate for governor , a majority of 17,000. This was a direct rebuke of boodlerism In the state government , New York had re sented federal Interference by defeating Charles J. Folger by 195,000 majority. It iwas time : for Nebraska to show that there Was as much decency within Its borders as existed In New York nnd Pennsylvania. "Let us bland up for the credit of the state. Let us stand up for public morals. Let us have a man at the head of our state govern ment that our young men can look up lo. Lot us emancipate the people , and say to the corporations that they must keep within bounds. This Is an Important crisis In our history. If this ring Is lo ba continued in control wo would bo better off as a province ot some despotic government than In the hands of men who have no icgard for the rights of the people.
