As the Washington correspondent of The
Hce tlio writer has been In sixty of the
ninety counties of the state , traveling with
Senator Thurstoti , whoso speeches have been
enthusiastically received by audiences com
pletely Oiling the houses where lie has
spoken.
In conversation with fusion leaders In
the counties of the Third dlhtrlct , where
Senator Thumon campaigned early this
week , they told The Ree correspondent that
It w.n Impossible to arouse nny great
amount of enthusiasm among the populists.
That corn busking and preparing ground
for the spring planting were much rnors
fiultful sources of discussion than any po
litical U < nics ami consequently they ( the
fuslonlsts ) could do no more than hope to
hold" their own In the election next Tiles *
day. But , while the leaders spoke In this
hopeful way. farmers whom The Heo corre.
spondent talked to wcro not to outspoken
and eyme of them frankly confessed that
they know of populists who would vote for
Hayward and the candidate of the repub

ministration in the conduct of the war.

In the Third congressional district , whcro
Judge Xorrls and Judge Robinson arc run
ning on rival tickets , decided changes are
nntlclpntcd , oven the fuslonlsts conceding
that Maxwell's majority over Hammond two
jcare ago will be greatly cut down. Fusion
Ipadcrs may sound the "hewgag , " but the
treatment accorded Judge Maxwell In the
congressional convention lias made the
friends of the I'rcmont Jurist hopping mad
nnd that they will vote their deep resent
ment on election day Is giving the populist
Bpellblndws many anxious moments. Just
Iiow fur the friends of Maxwell will go Is a
cllfllcult problem , but the chairman of Ilobln-
Kon'H congiehslqnal committee , Dr. Mackay
of Norfolk , raid"to a friend on Tuesday tha
< ho fusion candl-lute for congress would not
have over li.&OO majority. This would seem
1o Indicate that the defection In the ranks
of the fuslonlsts was considered a most seri
ous problem.

This year , when the silver question has

A close canvass of the vote on members of

estimate of the vote on next Tuesdaj :
'Trom an extended campaign nnd a care
ful canvass of the political situation In Ne
braska I am convinced that tbo outlook U
decidedly favorable for the success of the
republican ticket. Anjthing like a full poll
of the republican vote will mean republican
victory.
"Tho greatest element of uncertainty ID
the fact that our people nro very busy and
less Interest than usual IB manifested In the i
campaign. I have not failed to secure largo |
audiences , and republican meetings gener
ally have been well attended. The greatest
apathy seems to prevail among the fusion
forces. They are verv quiet and do not
seem to care fur the discussion of political
questions. I believe there Is n strong feel
ing with many of them that the splendid
administration of President McKlnley should
be supported at the polls , and I look for de
cided changes growing out of patriotic Im
pulses.
" 1 am confident that Judge Haywnrd will
be elected nnd the wbolo state ticket has an
c\cellent chance.
ContrreNslonnl Outlook.
"E. J. Burkctt will be elected congress
man for the First district by a good majority
nnd Congressman Mercer In the Second
district will bo re-elected by an Increased
voto.
"In th Fourth and Fifth districts there
Is a good prospect for republican candidates.
I think their chances are more than even.
"In the Third and Sixth districts the
fuslonlsts were elected two years ago by
majorities of upwards of 4,500 each There
will bo great changes In both these districts
which may entirely wipe out the apparent
fusion majorities , and which will at least
greatly reduce them.
"The legislature will 'be ' close. There will
not be more than ten majority cither way ,
nnd I am very hopeful that It will be re
publican.
"Tho republicans aio more united this
year than I have ever known them to be ,
and this Is equally true as to both state and
legislative tickets. The lepubllcnns genet-
ally have nomiuated strong , popular men for
the legislature , and I think have a decided
advantage over the opposition In this re
spect ,
"Taking the situation as a whole , from
the most conrcrvatlve standpoint I predict
the certain election of thiee if publican con
gressmen , of at least a part of the statn
ticket , Including governor , and of a legisla
ture very close. K. C. S. "

There la an apparent conflict of authority
between the state administration and the
15. A. H. over the question of which shall
send the Christmas boxes to the Nebraska
soldleri. So far as can bo learned the move
ment was started by Oencral Rage and other
Grand Army men and a few ddjs later was
talun up by the state officials. Gage ob
tained a promise from the government that
the boxes would be shipped from San Fran- ,
chco by the War department. General
Barry soon after received a similar assur
ance. Gage then made arrangements
vhere-by the boxes were to be shipped free
rom Lincoln , and directed that nil boxen
hotild be tent to him here for shipment.
\ few days later Barry Issued notlco that
ho state would stand the expense of the
hlpment of the boxes from here to San
'ranclsco , "the government having refused
o do so " He has Issue , ! an order that all
> exes phould bo shipped to him here. It
s a most peculiar situation , but It seems
hat In any event the bovs urn to get the

usal to chip the bes to the coast and no
tate fund can be pointed out that can be
ised for the purpose. To an outsider it

LINCOLN. Nov. 4. ( Special ) An Omaha
man who was here today tells another story j
Illustrating the .solicitude 9 ! Attorney Gen

which he showed them luhe prosecution on
the Hartley bond. H appears that after the
Midland bank failure depositors secured evi
dence tending to show that there vvas crlm- j
Inallty bv the officers of the bank accountable
able/ for Its wreck.
One of the depoltor went to Attorney
Oencral Smith and related the facts to
him. The attorney general advised tint lu
his opinion there would be no dlfllculty in
proceeding against the bank officers crim
inally and agreed to take up the case. He
was paid the fee nsKcd and retained for that
purpose , but demanded further time to look
up authorities. The Omaha man s.xld ho
had seen the receipt , dated May 1 , 1S07 , nnd
written on the letter head ot the attorney
general's office , over the signature of C. J
Smvtbacknowledging payment for "fees In
Midland State bank case. "
When the depositors went to Mr. Smyth
shortly after this he told them he had
changed his mind and that he did not think
.ho bank officers could bo prosecuted crlm-
nally and that he would have nothing to
lo with the case. Ho carefully forgot , how
ever , to return any of the money he had
accepted for his services , although ho had
not turned a hand In the matter. Whether
ils change ot mind was due to the same
thing that prompted his leniency to the

question.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. -Joe I Choynskl
narrowly escaped being put to sleep sev
eral time,1 ! tonight nt the Arena Athletic
club before the savage onslaught of Qus
Ruhlln of Akion , O. Each time he was
apparently saved by tbo bell. The bout
was limited to MX rounds und vvas one of
thfi fastest seen here In a. long time.
Ruhlln towered high over Joe's head and
thcio was a difference of between twcntv-
flvo and thirty pounds In favor of the
Akron tighter. Ho foiced the lighting from
beginning to end , Cbovnskl - re
peatedly around the ring In efforts to get
out of Ills way Toward thu clobe of the
first round Joe steadied himself for the
llrst nnd only time and landed several
hard rights and lefts on Ituhlln's face One
of these blows broke Choynskl'H right
foreluiKer In the early part of the second
round Choynskl fell through the rope.s nnd
landed on his head while evading Ruhlln.
The Ohio man forced Joe nil about therln
for the next three lounds nnd Choynskl
VMS shaky at the termination of each , falling -
ing down several times to ev.ido Ruhlln'n
iush- Ruhlln fouled n number of times
la the clinches , but It was apparently due
to thu heit of the encounter. Both' m n
cased 1111 In the llnal round , which vva.s
uneventful.
