Suffice II to ray that I , \s laid up for three weets ] or more , anti had to keep tram doing any serIous work for something like three months. Whie I was c llnell to my rom and bell a SPecial grand jury wns coiled anti Curry was Indicted for an assault - saul wih intent to comlil murder. I was found b , the grand jury that Curry 1It beel put \ to this bloody job , and the only thing thai pre\nttl the indictment of the : wh'te rur- fans , mostly connected with the Postofce deprtment , among whom was Paul Vander voort from being Indicted with him was that I was not absolutely provcn before the grand jury that they knew that tIm assault was to bo male with a slungshot. Under the Indictment 1 trial was had , which I dil not attend , and Curry was convIcted , He was taken out on \al and an appeal was made for him to the supreme court. During that perIod , which was In time summer of 13iO , when there wns a national campaign pending , Senator Hitchcock , through whom he was being supported , had Curry enlisted In the cailipaign. In the due course of time I new trail was ordered , anti after the sec- end trial and another appeal to the supreme court Curry was sentenced to four years In the Ilentental' sod taken to Lincoln. He hud not been there fur months when Senator - ton hitchcock himself sweat to Ooverncr Garber durIng my absence from the state and procured that man'tu pardon , carried that pardon hImself to the penitentiary and delivered It to Curry. I sweat to know who was hounded : I want to kmiw who was the victim of hatred and malco : ; I want to know who was entitled 10 the sympathy of loyal republicans and pa triotic cItIzens of Nebraska. Let 00 now recall some Incidents of the great senatorial contest of 180-7. In the summer of 187G the republicans of this state were arrayed against the renominaton and re-election of Mr. Hitchcock. The presence of Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon In Omaha svhlle the republIcan state : convention was hod : at Lincoln , and the ( act that after a four days' struggle the majorIty hind : turned Into n minority , excited the people so Intensely - tensely lrt there was a very exciting CJm- palgn. And my object In recallIng that cam- paign Is simply to show you the parallels be- twcen what happened In 1876 and what happened In 1891 : "At a republican ratification - ton meeting held nt the Academy of Music on Tuesday evening , October 23 , I87G. at which addrcsses were delivered by Oovemor Saunders , General J. C. Cowin , General Mnnders'n and Judge Clinton N. Driggs , the following arc extracts from the addresses delivered upon thai occasion. " I will read yon extracts from those ao as to enlighten you I 11\ bit about past hIstory. GOVERNOR SAUNDERS SAID THIS : "Tho democrats talk about reform and re- trencimment We can reform our own family and not ask our neighbors to help us. He btlev21 the republican party was the only one for the colored man to vote wIth ; the ro- publicans . hal given them their rights as cll- zens and they owe lito the republican party. " The speaker then referred to the infamous unauthorized and uncalled for Interferencl of C. H. Gere , chaIrman of the state central committee , In our local affairs. Ho gave n concl.o history of the republican split , relat- Ing the facts as to the two committees , show- lug conclusively that the anU-llchcoclt ticket was the only regular ticket , thaI It was In the field first , and was composed of as good men as the Eun ever ibone upon. lie was proud of It. ( Applause. ) lie was a regular republcan : and helped to organize the republi. can rarty twenty year ago , and ho could not and would not be read out of that party by I lot of upstarts anti hirelings. ( Applause ) 10 hal spoken In rJaln terms and had called the Hitchcock party the bread and butter brig- ade , and he reiteratEd the statement. If I we are lost In this election II wi be rIng within ring all over the country. You can Leo the hirelings trailing In and out of the poslofce to get their orders We must rise In our immighmt and put this Sort of business down Thts Ltat of affair Is tearing down the republican partY-a party thaI oUJht to stand for I hundrel years for the noble deeds II has accomplIshed. JUDGE CLINTON BRIOGS. The importance of each lndis'duai : elector In this country exerclsn ! I free , spontaneous , unboughl Iufrage , cannot ba underestImated . ( Applause. : ) This I the only country In the worll where the ( eoplo control their affairs In every department of the overnrnent . In Germany and England the people have the right of election In only one branch of the government , but In the Un led State every brancQ of government Is reacheq' by time pco- pie. Every tme : time government reaches forth its arm you , the people , are behind I ; your voice gives It Impetus : your decision Is final. I has been laid thai the elector IS a sovereign. Lei us see It II Is so. Hc Is In theory How U I In Practice ? Now time great contest Is going on In this natIon , throughout the whole extent of the country. Shall American electors have a free anti un- bought ballet ? That b the national qucHlon tomlay. 'fhat's why lh ! Ilcol.'e of this country swill never trust the destines of three million free electors created by the republican rarty- the treedmuen-to our adversaries . ThB people wi not Cay that we shall turn thEm over to the democracy. I hope the Pople swill Insl1t that the ballot shal he unbought , that they will go to the pls and vote without the pressure of the railroads . I am a frIend of the railroads-or the UnIon raclfclll It should nol lay its han1s on the vote of the employc I owns the labor of the emmiployc' but It does not own hh manlled , I should only Perform the functions allotted to I , nalely , of constructing .

The constiu- ton gives tu each state two senators and the r'ght of representaton In congre' , but I tall to find an.thlng In the constitution that makes the Union Paclfa or n. & Id , entitled to United Statu senators for each corpora- tlon. That II all the controversy I have with time raIlroad. OENiRAL JOhN a. COWIN , The most 'tal luue today Is whether or not an honest vote shall conlrol this country and st4te. Now , sirs , all republicans lay not approve It , all republcaas ! may not applaud It , but II II nevertheleu true , and that Is , that time republican party tOday Is dragging l- the verge of the grave.

( Applause. ) Now. I swill read you a little more lila- tory. This was whal General Cowin said , mark you , and not what I said. This Is what he said back In 1876 : "Th republican vcten or the state of Nebraska along the line of railroad cor- porlons today are not exercising the rIght of freemen , and I am prepared to prove what I say. Now , sIrs , I attempted t make a few remarks In the state convention at Lincoln , wblch I propose to finish right Ilcro. I Is with respect to a gentleman for wbom I have the hIghest regard , for whom I have the blghest respect and who will nol dispute anD word I say. That gen- temm : Is S. H. 11.

Let moY thai I do nol question his personal character In even one respect I had I conversation with hIm before time September primarIes . and I vent to his ofce and asked him whether he was influencing the votes of the Union 'aciflc emplDyes , and he told me no I told him I was glad of that , for I believe that amen ought to vote as their cmsclencs : dictate , and thai when I Is attempted to intImidate , trammel or Influence a voter against his honoH convictions I blow Is be- lag lruck at the very foundations Df the gvernment itself . Now , I said , can I go to your men and say you are not attempting to Influence them , and they may vote as they pleas ? He said , 'No , air. ' I asked ] why not ? What did he lay ? Gentlemen , employes of the Union Pacific road , Mr. Clark , wise Is present apd wi not dispute what I , say , he replied : " Mind you , General Cowin was eimaking tbls speech In the Academy of Music , and right In front , In one of the front seats , S. seal Ii. H. Cark himself was sitting. He made that lIght to his face , and thIs Is what he said : . WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF IIITCIICOcjIC.

They expect mo to Influence tbem to vote , and my tenure of emca Is no stronger than that of any other empyo on this road They look 10 10 to sea thai our employes vote time Hitchcock ticket , and I cannot avoid it. " You can imagine what n sensation Gon- oral CowIn's slatement created In that body , amid , In Iplt , of all efforts that lho Union Pa- cilia malla at that time , just as In spite of all the efforts of the Burlington and All other roads made this year , the railroad employes voted lhclr own conselentons convictions ; they stood for good government and repull- cal prInciples better than sumac ot time rlch- eat men In this state , who went out and sold lhemse'es body nail soul to those corpora. tees and playell catl'aw for tmn lt the tall cmi ( Applause ) . .

DOODL1mS WRItE BUSY THEN. I ! a 'matter of history that the repub- lcns of' thIs state deliberately refusell to elect a legislature that would favor the reelection - election oJ ; M . Hitchcock. Thereupon another - other effort was made to bring about the same thing thai , had happened In 18i anti 1875. u combll'to : between conservatve rc- publcns , or rather , boo(1er ( republicans . amid democrats. Mr. I-hitchcock Hichcock had ben a clams- mate of Pelon , the nephew oi Samnel J. Tiden , an\ Int arrangement was entered Into between those gentlemen whereby It was t'edgod ltat ! the vote of Mr hitchcock In the United Statest ! senate should be , cast for Samuel JI' Tiden , a against , Rutherford D. Hares , aild 'timht the democratic members of the legislature of Nebraska should , help to re-elect hirni . with the aid of those boodle repubilcans. . Now , , , where wns the Honorable Charles t 1 I Gore about thIs time ? Ho was. cjiairmaa of the repub lican state'central committee ; , he was , the watchman on the tower ; I was his function thM to sound the alarm und notify the an- tonal committee , that great danger was Im- pending ; that the party was abet to be sold out . and that the president of the United States was to be sacrificed for the Unltcd. States scnatol'shlp In Nebraska. Where was be about that time ? Down In Lncoln ! , aiding and abetting this very con- spIracy and crying 5 o'cock : and all's swell. I was not I member of the national com- mitee then , but I constituted myself the watchman on the towcr. I wired to Zach Chandler , who was then the chairman of the nalonal republican committee , apprIsIng him of thIs conspiracy. Perhaps that perfidious svalchman Mr. ' Gere , will have the audacity to deny thai there was such a deal but the truth of my statement will be confirmed by leading democrats. InstructIons - struclon were lent to this state from the Tiden headquarter-S to E. A. Ale who was then the chairman of time democratic state central committee . to proceed to LIncoln - coin and dragon the democratic members Into Ino 'to cast their voles fer Hitchcock , as they had done for hIm In 1871 and for Paddock . In 1875 , and bo did it. HB came down m and endeavored In every way to carry out this dell , but just about that time con- iress ' changed thIs whole procedure by pasa- lug the electorl commission law , takIng 1 rom the senators the power to vote In or Qut any presldenl , and the result was that Hitchcock's opportunity to trade his vote In the United StatN senate for the democratic vote of the Nebraska leglslaturo passed away. Time democrats declined to vote for ' him and 1m was not re-elected. But the ; perfidious watchman al the tower , Mr. Oere , 1 and all the railroad organists hold Mn I hitchcock UI > as a pillar of cloud by day amid : a pIllar of fte by nIght to all repub- lcans , whie they denounce me year In and year out for preaching the gespel of loyal republcan IFi In Nebraska and savIng the party Crol cDrrup and dishonorable co- ahitions. A few days before time electon the state committee went even further than that The sent out n letter lhat was clr- cubted broadcast throughout the state , In which It was charge that I had hounded P.V. .
