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. If my

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

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

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

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.- " " " " ' - -

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

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 , "

mileage but short on land. 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. "
