r THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE : 8ATU11DAY , AUGUST 22 , 1890 , H'KINLEY ' CAINS EVERY DAY Senator Bacon of Georgia Makes an Unwel come Discovery. TELLS DEMOCRATIC LEADERS A FEW FACTS Bajrit Hint ItcpnliHcnnM Arc Itctlcr iiiuliiei1 : ] fnr Il citMnliiK the In- HIIC nml Hint Thvy Cnrry the Croivil * iTllli Them. WASHINGTON , Aug. 21. Senator Bacon ot Georgia , who has just returned from the 1'atlflc count , was at democratic headquarters today. In an Interview he said that as the sentiment now exists In the country Bryan would bo elected , hut that republicans told him the sentiment of the people will change tefore election. The senator said ho failed to ECO that the sentiment of the country through which ho passed had changed , but was In clined to think that the money which the republican ! ) nro putting Into the campaign will have Us effect. He did not mean , by this , ho said , that voters will bo bought , but that , the republicans will got their literature more largely circulated , will have moro Epcakcrs , and will have more and better fii- formed men at many places , who will bo able to defeat the democrats In argument. Ho said he noticed at the stations and other places where thcro wcro groups of men talking , arguing the silver question In every Instance , that as a general thing the republican was better Informed and could array his argument with more elfcct , nnd when he got the best ot his democratic antagonist ho waa likely to carry the crowd n-lth him. This he attributed to a largo circulation of literature and special work of the republicans , who wcro posting men everywhere to bo nblo to argue the ques tion. Senator Bacon thought that this was the only feature whcrqln the republicans were succeeding and said ho had no doubt that all this would be counteracted by the democrats. Chairman Bahcock returned from New York today. Ho had a confcrcnca with Chairman Hnnna of the national committee yesterday nnd fcgls very well satisfied with the result ot the campaign thus far. Ho saya that Mr. Hanna reports everything In good shape and the work of the campaign progressing very satisfactorily. Mr. Bah cock says that the congressional campaign committee Is In dally receipt of Information tending to show the successful work ot the commlttco In sending out literature. He says that the reports show the people are anxious to road the documents , which arc having good effect In arming the re publicans so that they can meet all argu ments of the democrats. " " ho "Is much to "Our object , said not so make/ proselytes In sending out this litera ture , hut to arm our own people so that they may ho Informed and ready In argu ments. Ono man writes ma that he has distributed 300 documents wo sent htm and that these documents have won over sixty voters to the republican cause. " Some ot the silver leaders In Washington are not at all surprised at the course of events In Idaho , where the populists and democrats have fused , leaving the silver re publicans to flock by themselves. One who has recently returned from the west says that the result Is largely duo to the course Senator Dubols has pursued In Idaho. In- etead of cutting loose from the republican party Senator Dubols and his friends went Into the republican committee and carried It by one majority , and Instead of organiz ing as a silver party or Inviting fusion , maintained that their organization Is repub lican , The populists and democrats claimed that any republican organization ought to ho for McKlnley , If It claimed the name , and Insisted that Dubols must leave the repub lican party as Teller nnd Pcttlgrew have done. Thcro has been a great deal of hos tility between Dubols and the other parties and the populists and democrats say that If they elect Dubols senator they will not be sure that he will remain with them. Silver men hero say they have Information that -the Bryan electoral ticket will carry the state and that the antagonism Is more per sonal to Dubols than anything else. Charles J. Canda , treasurer , and Robert G. Monroe , member of the executive com mittee of the National Association of Demo cratic Clubs , have resigned membership In the organization because It Is engaged In supporting Brynn and Sewall. These gen tlemen are In the thick of the third ticket movement. Senator Butler , chairman of the populist committee , says ho has been receiving some very favorable reports from different states where there have been disagreements be tween the populists and democrats as to fusion on electors. It Is now likely that the offer of the populists In Texas of seven of the fifteen electors will be accepted. IB West Virginia the committee has about agreed upon a division giv ing the democrats four and populists two electors. It Is also stated that the chances of fusion In North Carolina have Improved. It was stated at populist head quarters that they believe the Idaho fusion will bo arranged so as to give the silver republicans a slmre of the offices and equal Interest In the campaign , the electors to bo divided among the three parties. The national populist committee , It was stated , will Insist upon this and will he joined In It by the democratic national committee. 1IOTII SIDICS ACT1VK IN IOWA. llfliulilli'iiiiN ami Ili'iiiocriUx Si-inllnj- Out ( IniiiitltlrN of Llti'rntiirc. DBS MOINES , Aug. 21. ( Special Tele gram , ) If the fusion of democrats , populists and free sllverltcs In Iowa Is not a success It will bo no fault of the committees.

FACTS AS TO HAnitlSOJf COUNTY. Wonilcrfnl ll coverl ? of tlio AVorlil- llrrnlil In Their Trite LlRhl. MISSOURI VALLF.Y. la. , Aug. 20. To the Editor ot The Bee ! An article ap peared In the Omaha World-Herald of the 19th , dated at Logan , Ii. , pretending to glvo the political situation ot Harrison county , Iowa , which , If true , would ho very Instruct ive as well as amusing. The writer , after recapitulating what has been said about the disastrous railroad accident near Logan , evidently Intended to blend the sympathy and affections ot the good people of that place for the poor , unfortunate persons who were killed and matned In that wreck with the poor , deluded pot-house politicians and other avaricious , greedy persons who have spent the best days of their lives traducing and vilifying the names of Il lustrious men and dishonoring the govern ment. Harrison county , Iowa , was organized soon after the admission ot the state ot Iowa , In 1817 , and was named In honor of General William Henry Harrison , and ever since the formation of the republican party has given a majority In favor of the republican nom inee , The total vote for governor last year was -1,971 , of which Drake , republican , re ceived 2,411 ; Babb , democrat , 1,674 , and Crane , populist , 8Sf > . The Indications are , and In fact It has been definitely ascertained that the county will give a republican ma jority , notwithstanding the demo-pops and calamity howlers succeed In a fusion. Missouri Valley Is by far the largest town In the county. It has a population ot nearly S.OOO , la the eastern terminus of the Fre mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , and the southern end of the Sioux City ft and Pacific , and on the line ot the Chicago cage & Northwestern. At the last election there was pulled lu the precinct 750 votes. ' This year 'It is estimated there will bo 900 votes cast at the. election. The political lines are closely drawn. Two clubs have been organized , a McKlnley club , with a membership ot nearly COO , all legal voters , and a free silver club , with a membership of about .100 , about one-half of whom are boys , not eligible to vote. A sound money club , composed of democrats , will bo or ganized hero this week. The McKlnley club was organized by the business men of Missouri Valley nnd lu no Instance whatever have the managers or bosses of the railroad companies dictated , Instructed or solicited the men under their employe to join the McKlnley club , nor did they prohibit them from joining the frco silver club and that part ot the article referring to the coercion of the men Into voting for the gold standard Is absolutely untrue. The newspaper of Missouri Valley that Is referred to as being a republican paper but having changed to support the free sil ver party Is another false statement. The truth of the matter Is , the paper was al ways a democratic paper , a weekly sheet , which flopped over to the republican party for revenue purposes , which It failed to obtain ; then It flopped Into the free silver party , made an assignment and Its editor got. Lawyer Cocrane , referred to ns having been a republican for twenty years , never has been relied upon as being one of the straight republicans of the county. He has been a democrat , a greenbacker and a rainbow chaser , and has but little. Influence with the voting populace. A thorough canvass of the county has boon made and only a few republicans have been found who are In favor of free silver , two In Missouri Valley and two In Dunlap , while scores of democrats say they will not vote for Bryan and Genung. It 1s admitted that our present member of congress , A. L. Hagcr , has given this county the best representation It ever had ; that he Is able and honest ; that the Interests of the people are safe In his hands , while Mr. Genung Is not only Incompetent , but voices the sentiment ot repudiation and free trade and should be permitted to re main In the company of Weaver , Ben Tlll- man , Altgcld and Debs. The article In the World-Herald Is an Insult to the citizens of the county , a scheme to mislead the people , a perversion of truth and a fact , In every particular , which Is well known to the correspondent , "W. 0. C. , " and par ticularly to the World-Herald , for there are twice ns many Omaha Bees sold In Harrison county as thcro arc Omaha World- Heralds , and there is no doubt that the entire republican ticket will receive a ma jority In Harrison county. GOLD. WOODBINE , la. . Aug. 20. To the Ed itor of The Bee : The two-column com munication which appeared In yesterday's World-Herald , purporting to analyze the political situation lu Harrison county , was a veritable "Comedy ot Errors ; " but , unlike a good , respectable comedy , It has not the individual merit to make It appreciated out side of the localities referred to. The correspondent devotes quite a , little space to the conditions In and around this city and eulogizes a couple of gentlemen whom ho refers to as. "republican bolters , " John S. Hall and W. H. DcCow. Now , so far as Mr. Hall Is concerned , he Is an old- time populist. Ho organized the Douglas Township Farmers' Alliance and Industrial union several years ago and his sympathies have ever been with the poullstla theories. It Is exceedingly amusing to the people of this vicinity to hear W. II , DeCow classed as a sllverlte. It has been a standing joke with Mr. DeCow to pretend to espouse that cause on the streets , but ho is as solid as a rock for McKlnloy and sound money. The correspondent further avers that so for as known only two democrats have re pudiated the Chicago ticket and platform L. J , Sherwood of this vicinity and Bates Hosbrook of Missouri Valley. We take pleasure In Introducing to the gentlemen Messrs , H. M. Bostwlck and II. A. Qulun , two of the best business men and most en thusiastic democrats that ever resided In this city. These gentlemen assert that they do not wish to help promulgate any plans of repudiation , and will give their hearty support to Major McKlnley. "And there are others" many others but that Is a fact so well established that It Is not neces sary to personify. The McKlnloy club of this city has on Its roll the names of twonty-flvo men who will make affidavit that they voted the democratic ticket last year. If all the free silver booms which have been launched In the newspapers could he measured by this one they are flimsy struc tures Indeed. DENNIS. MoKlnley Clith nt Anltii. ANITA , la. , Aug. 21.

For ten days a great crowd has collected on the postofflco corner discussing the financial question of the present campalpn. The discussion fre quently lasted until midnight. As fast as one speaker wearied another filled the gap , The police mmlo numerous and futile at tempts to scatter the disputants and finally made ucvcral arrests. The cases came before Judge Cox of the city court and the last time , with much Impatience , ho discharged the defendants , holding there was no decision by any court , high or low , where It Is held that n man violates the law by discussing political topics In the strc.1t , "On the contrary , " continued the court , "all of thn decisions are the other way. The right of free speech Is fundamental In our constitution and must not bo denied. No police force can stop It. It Is the right of American citizens. This Is a time when perplexing questions are puzzling the people , They are questions of vital Importance to the common people. 11 Is only by ample discussion ot the questions that confront them that they can learn properly to ex ercise their right of franchise. They have the right to discuss these questions and the court will protect them. " The court also criticised the policy of the police In Interfer'ng with these street corner talks by using the ordinance against side walk obstruction as an engine of oppression. He warned the olllccrs that further arrests would bo useless , as the defendants would not bo punished. The financial debates are still being held , UIH'UIILICA.NS AUK IjNTllUSIAtlTIU.

He has traveled all over the country this year In the Inierest of his BLhenio to build In Chicago a great homo for disabled railroad employes. He Is probably more widely acquoluted with railroad employes than any other man In the country. "Railroad employes are almost to a man opposed to free sliver , " said Mr. Collln. "This Is as true In the west and south as In the cast , and It will have a great Influence on the result in the election. They would naturally bo favorable to Bryan , for he was one of the leaders In securing the passage of the bill to compel railroads to use safety couplers. They entertain a gen uine affection for him all over the country ; but they cannot vote for him ; they say their wages cannot bo increased , because laws In almost every state limit the charges roads can mukc. But the value of the money In which they would bo paid would bo re duced nearly one-half , The fixed charges of the roads must still bo paid In gold.

The list Is marked by some enter prising party so as to show , In his opinion , the former political beliefs of the signers , and there are not to exceed twelve persons who have signed the roll who have for the last two years been classed as republicans. When the club was organized It was dis tinctly stated In the bills thrown around the streets that the farmers were the people whom they especially wanted to sign the roll , and that many of them from all parts of the county did so Is shown by the names thereon. Even the number of 110 takes In every obtainable signer , Including traveling men and parties from other states. The fact that the McKlnley club of this city has over 240 enrolled seems to make the other club try to make false assertions In the vain hope that some eastern reader may be deceived as to the real sentiment of the state. The McKlnley club has barely been stirted , but within thirty days will have over 300 names on Its roll , all belonging In Chadron or lu the Immediate vlciitlty.

He eulogized LIneoJn , but when ho was asked tonight If ho ever voted for him lie had to acknowledge that he did not. He spent a considerable part of his time In showing why ho Is not an anarchist. Mr. Ambrose openly declared that the value ot the silver dollar depends not upon Its ex changeability for gold , but upon the flat of the government. He said It Is not the com mercial value of a sliver dollar that makes It a dollar , but the value placed upon It by the government. The speaker attacked The Bee for saying that silver Is not the money of the constitution , and then ere long led himself lu a net by asserting that the constitution did not mention the money metals. ] > i < iiioi > riitl < !

The secretary says that the fusion of populists with republicans In Texas will accomplish nothing , as Texas Is solidly democratic with 100,000 majority. Klsewhcro whore the populists stay out the same condition exists , The campaign will be fought In the states ot Iowa , Illinois , Indiana , Michigan nml Minnesota. Every school district will bo worked as systematic ally as Secretary Walsh worked the state for free silver before the May democratic convention. Massachusetts and Vermont he considers In doubt and with the south and west , with any of the frco silver states named , free silver Is sure to win. As to the populists tint voting for Bewail he says 11 Is all a dream. The populists are all pa triotic on the sliver question and will not throw away their votes on Watson. There will be a surprise In Now York , too , said he. David 11. Hill Is gutting ready to come out for Bryan. Whitney nnd Cockran are Hill's political enemies , and when they nro fully committed to the republican , or assistant to the republican cause , Hill will declare In favor of Bryan. Gorman Is In entire sym pathy with the ticket. There was no row. Gorman can do moro In the cast than west , and thcro ho will stay and work as hard as ho did for Cleveland In 1SSI. Secretary Walsh leaves for Chicago to morrow evening. Ho has delayed his visit thither longer than his chief desired , hut ho has been writing personal letters for two solid days urging his free silver friends to put every effort forth to carry Iowa.
