speech was an unqualified endorsement of
the administration and HB policy on the ,

Mr. Whltmorc spoke as follows :

Silas A. Holcomb occupied the governor's
chair four yc.ira. It la my painful duty to
ndmlt that 1 was 0110 of those who voted
fpr him. Ho entered upon the duties of
his onlco as a reformer , pledged to correct ,
certain abuses of administration. He wufa
vigorous In his denunciation of the pans
nystnm. He boldly announced trom the
stump that the acceptance of a pas.by n
public' official meant his yielding to r.iil-
wny Influence. After his election the
record shows him to have been the most
favored of nil our governors by the rall-
roadH of the state and , If his own argu
ment Is icorrect. he thereby became their
most subservient tnql ,
He denounced the appproprlatlon of state
money f t private nun nnd believed that

public otllcer could not bi > called by : i moro

Being on Insurance man I have Investi
gated slightly the Insurance legislation of
this state nnd some of the measures pro
poned by 'the legislature. During the ses
sion of 1896 a bill regulating mutual lire In-
curanceas prepared by Frank Mnrtln of
Fulls City , assisted "by Samuel Llchty. and
Introduced In thr legislature , If passed bath

people of Nebraska upon having a populist
governor who would favor mutual Insurance
and approve the law. Contrary to all ex
pectations , when U wont to the governor It
wan vetoed. In 1807 another law , Identical
with the first one. containing the same
provisions and regulations , was Introduced ,
passed both houses and reached the gov
ernor. After a brief consideration he signed
It. The same dny It was announced that
Bllan A. Holcomb was elected president
of an Insurance company organized under
the new law. Why did he not approve the
first one ? Was It the lack of considera
tion ? It Sllnn A. Holcomb , a governor ,
would exact a consideration for his ap
proval of legislation of comparatively little
Importance , what would ho do. what sort
of a consideration would ho require for his
decision If placed upon the supreme bench
to have a part In the administration of Jus
tice ? Is a man so lacking In moral scruples ,
so lax of conscience , a nt man to pit as a
member ot the highest court of Justice In
our state ?
ClmrKCH Not Disproved.
Ko ono has disproved these charges. No
ono even attempts it. You all know what
sort of a man he is. The mystery to you
probably IB how ho came to be nominated
by the fusion party , nnd such a record
thug endorsed. It was simply because he
demanded It and a , certain political Influence
wnnted him to have It. Thlp nomination
was made , too , toy a party that was or
ganized as a rebuke to professionalism in
politics , n party that was successful at the
polls because it stood us a protest ugalnst
the ranch tlio methods of polltlclaiiH in ma
nipulating .conventions , a party that has
always condemned self-seeking and -wore
threadbare the trite expression , "the ofllce
should seek the man. " AVell , In this case
If the ofllce did seek the man , there is no
question that Silas made It mighty easy
work for those who were looking for him.
The democrats at the Omaha convention
were opposed to his nomination. But when
they assumed a detlant attitude and an
nounced their unwillingness to support him
because of the many scandals connected
with hs ! administration , one man went to
them und said : "Boys , you are not voting
for Holcomb , you nre votlnc for me. " The
appeal wa successful. The opposition
among democrats ceased , They yielded
their better conviction to the personal de-
slrp of this one man. Is It rlirht that ono
Individual , ntich an Infinitesimal part of the
population of our state , should nlace his
own ambition , his personal wishes , above
the welfare of all the rest ot hH fellow
cltizenc and force upon them a man they
did not want and did not believe to , be
worthy ?
This brings us to the question of the
real purpose of government. Does It exist
to promote the best Interests , the highest
good of the whole people or does It exist
merely for the purpose of'doing something
for one man's sake ? It government exists
merely for one man when we could accom
plish that purpose better , -with less trouble
and expen ° o by dolns away with the use
less formality of conventions and elections
and monopolies. Thf one who leai } * In this

This was the kind of a nomination made
$ y n party that li loud in decrying trusts
nnd monopolies. The one who lends In this
apltatlon against the trusts [ Vnd for whose
sake the cry was raised Is ro full of sym
pathy for all mankind that he devotes all

trusts , IP there a trust or .monopoly quite
so aangnrous , so freighted with evil ns a

Tlosepe Pound spoke as follows :
One. of the latest of thn eplproms which
In the speeches of our eminent fellow
townsman are too often compelled to do
| the work of arguments is that his onno-
I nents nrn putting dollars nhavq men. Aid
yet the very campaign for thn exigencies

i his ambition to be president which may or
1 not be n matter of dollars to him , but
which has certainly beeri one of the most
profitable ambitions In n recunlarv'sense
that Nebraska ban yet witnessed. There In
no ofllce In the gift of the people In which
a more politician can do eo murh harm and

therefore , oui- distinguish * ! townsman

I The Interests of the people demand that

to a lawyer of" ripe learningwlJe ex
perience and unblemished Integrity Thft
Interests of one man ar * ald to demand

Ity Before the L > aw" to "Bryan Before the
Law" Is even he who e solemn warnings
against monarchy , Cne-sarlpm and ImperialIsm -
Ism have been ringing from the stump for
ycais. i
It Is the biiMnesn of thn politician to
adapt himself , his views and his actions
to the exigencies of the moment. It Is
the function ot , the Judge to subordinate
hlm fflf nnd his interests to the general
rules established by the state for the or
derly administration of Justice. The i > oll-
tlclan upon the bench Is no great Improve
ment over the legal system of the orient ,
where the quality of the Justice adminis
tered depends upon the frame of minder
or state of the digestion for the time being
of the sultan or his vlzlcr
Thn Interests of the people and the people
ple themsehos demand In a Judge of our
highest court professional standing , experi
ence and abll'ty ' of the highest grade ,
which In a man of untarnished character
brct-d respect for the tribunal nnd Us de
cisions. Had the- wisest executive Bet
about It to find mich a mnti conscientiously
ho could not have done better than the
people have done In the choice they linvo
matleot which the nomination of Judge
Ileese is but a registering. In no place
would the Impropriety of the perpetual
bickerings with appointees , of which the
administration of our late governor was
HO prolific , be more manifest or mischiev
ous than In our highest court.
Our constitution provides that every per
son for every Injury done him In his goods ,
person or reputation , shall have a remedy
by duo course of law nnd Justice adminis
tered without denial or delay. Who Is
moro likely to give effect to this , to mete
out the ( same Justice to all without refer
ence to the polltlcnl status of litigants , tha
political bearing of controversies , or the
pressure of Influence and Interest , a poli
tician by trade , forced upon a reluctant
party by the mandate ot Its dictator , or a
lender among the practitioners and teach
ers of the law , called to his nomination
without thn aid or consent of any dictator
by the mandate of overwhelming nubllu
sentiment In all parties ?
AVliL-iloil SpcnUN ,
C. 0. Whedon wns then Introduced and
spoke as follows :
In many respects conditions which now
confront the administration are similar In
character to those which President Lin
coln Avas compelled to combat during the
civil war.
Now the nation Is engaged as all Its ener
gies were then employed In the prosecution
of a war against those wno refuse to
recognize the supremacy ot the government
within national territory. President Mc
Klnley insists now as President Lincoln in-
i slstcd then that all the people within the
Jurisdiction of the United btntcs shall sub
mit to the authority of the government nnd
that such submission on the part of those
, who resist by force of arms shall bo In
i the form of unconditional surrender.
President Lincoln found within the boun
daries of the non-seceding states thousands
of men living under the protection and en
joying the blessings of a beneficent gov
ernment whoso every Impulse was treason
able and who earnestly hoped for the fail
ure of every attempt made for the preser
vation of the union , Such men were never
republicans and to distinguish them from
loyal democrats they were called copper
heads. Whllo every democrat was not a
copperhead , every copperhead was a demo
crat. By all conceivable means , save by
enlisting In the confederate army and tak
ing their chances with those who risked
their lives In the attempt to enforce seces
sion , they sought to glvo aid nnd comfort
to those whose ultimate aim and object
was the complete destruction of the union.
Today democrats whoso political prin
ciples have not changed an Iota have the
impudence to charge a republican admin
istration with the purpose of depriving ;
the inhabitants of the Philippine islands
nf their liberty. Those who today pray
for the defeat of our armies In the field
contend that It is the duty of the ad
ministration to proclaim to those In arms
against the government what the policy
of thn administration will be towards
the insurgents. The plain and positive
duty of the administration Is to compel
submission , unconditional surrender , on
the part of those In arms against the
government and to make known the inten
tion of the government after and not be
fore such surrender.
The non-combatant rebel sympathizer of
186I , like the Tasal sympathizer of ISS'J ,
lived In daily fear of the great injury
which the republican party was about to
do to the Declaration of Independence.
The outcry against government without
the consent of the governed was tled as
vociferously by Jefferson Davis and Ills
adherents thirty-six years ago as H is ' now
bv AV. J. Bryan arid the sllverheaas.
Mr. pry an a denunciation of trusts and
monopolies is not loss earnest than was
his demand for free silver three years ago.
Upon the question of trusts nnd monopo
lies the congressional record is silent as to
the acts of W. J. Bryan.
You veterans of 'til , who carried the
flag when McKlnley carried It ; who risked
your life to save the Union , and who had
neither lot , part or sympathy tor op with
these who sought Its destruction ; who
lived In a hole und starved in Salisbury
prison ; who are almost standing in the
gray of the morning of another existence ;
this year may witness the last ballot you
will cast. Will you stand with the party
whose leader is the president of those
United States , your onc-tlme comrade In
arms , or with the party whose recognized
leader is the political agitator who , if
asked his vocation , must of necessity
answer as answered an equally honest and
ambitious personage thousands of years
ago , who , when the question was pro
pounded to him : "From whence comctli
thou ? " replied ; "From going to and fro
In the earth and from walking up and
down In It.1
After C. 0. Whedon concluded his re
marks a man In the audience arose and
moved that a. committee be appointed to go
out after Judge Hetme. This motion was
put to a vote and carried with a tremend
ous outburst of applause , followed by college -
logo yells nnd the yell of the Reese Uni
versity club.
Whllo the committee was out , Captain W.
II. Hunter , for eevoral years a leading pop
ulist In this section of the state , ac
knowledged allegiance to the republican
party principles and republican candldatea.
Judge Reese , on his appearance , spoke as
follows :

Mr. President , Indies and Gentlemen nnd

you have given mo tonight. I have not
been hero during- the meeting and ot course
I enjoyed the enthusiasm which I hoard as
I came In. It Is not a secret to you that I
did not expect the honor which you bo
unceremoniously , by ilnglng the telephone
bell , conferred upon me. I cannot express
irny appreciation of the honor which that
convention conferred upon me. My best
friends , 1 know , were following the direc
tion which I had asked them to take and
were saying to the memhen * of the con
vention , "No. " I was called over there
during the day and by others thnn those

and I said "No. " They went Into the con

"My husband and I used to drink mocha
and Java coffee at forty centa a pound. We
inudo It strong and always had It for break
fast ; sometimes In cold weather for luncheon
and dinner. A form of heart disease came
on to both of us. Husband complained of
his heart missing a beat sometimes and that
ho could not eleep after drinking coffee for
the six o'clock dinner , I had pains at the
heart , and very peculiar smothering sensa
tions , frequently accompanied with sick
headache. My physician forbid the use ol
coffee , and -we were put on Postum Food
Coffee , with the result that both husband
und myself have fully regained our health
and our hearts are all right and perfect
now * .
"I have reached such perfection lu making
Postum that husband cannot tell either by
look or taste whether he la drinking flnu

"A good many people make Postum In a

the state ? When arc you going to start

volving' many dollars nnd perhaps all that
ono side or the other in the litigation pos
sess. Not only property rights , but the
liberties of the people are to bo placed In
the hands of the court even their lives at
times , and I want to tell you nt times that
you can have no conception of this terrible
responsibility that rests upon a court of
that kind when It comes to sitting down , as
I have had to do , with a calendar In my
hands hunting the day upon which a human
life must bo taken. Talk about obligation ,
talk about responsibility , talk about ac
countability , 1 nay wo can have no concep
tion of that obligation until we once take
It. And you relnomber that there are two
sides to every lawsuit nt least.
$ 'o see a candidate of the supreme bench
yelling at the 'top ' of his voice until It
sounds like a fog horn , stirringup the people
ple , denouncing this side or that , and there
are only two sides one side Is for the gov
ernment and the other against the govcrn-
men denouncing the people who are of the
opposite view , who are Just aa honest as
ho Is. Think ot H for a moment. With
what degree of confidence can these liti
gants which happen to bo arrayed upon
the other side appeal to that court for
oven square-toed , upright , downright Jus
tice ?
I wish to say to you now and here that
nfter the reception you have given me here
tonight , If It should be upon the canvass
of the votes at the next election I shall
bo called upon to occupy the position to
which I have been nom'nated ' , I can only
promise that Iwill discharge the duties ot
that olllce to the very best ot my ability ,
that I will glvo It all the energy no > * In
dustry which I possess , will give It all the
Intelligence with which the Creator has
endowed imp , that I will give it every ounce
of Integrity that can be found In my
makeup. When I have served the time , If
I shall llvo so long , if some accident does
not occur , or I urn removed through Im
peachment , I shall hope to be able to re-
tlro from the place with your contldcncc ,
with your esteem and with your personal
friendship , the same ns I have It tonight.

BIGELOW CENSURES AMERICA
Gcocraplitcul CnngreiiH nt Horllii Lln-
icon in HIM Vlcirn on the
Philippine AVnr.
BERLIN , Oct. 3. At today's session of
the International Geographical congress
and in the prcserico"'of a distinguished audi
ence , Including1'nmny colonial and other
government ofllcCaUf Poultnoy Dlgelow dis
cussed "ColonlalchAdmlnlstratlon in. Differ
ent Parts ot tlm World. " The paper was
received with much favor.
llr. Dlgelow said that this year , memor
able for the International Peace conference
at the Hague , whose noble purpose It had
been to make war less frequent and leas
brutal , would bo none the lesa gratefully
rememlbered for the supplementary work of
peace Intrusted to the great geographical
congress of Berlm. It had taken centuries
of business nnd .bloodshed to reach the
state of comparative civilization now enJoyed -
Joyed by the world. We were Just begin
ning to reallzo that what Interested one In
terested all and that In colonial matters the
most Important condition today was unity
among the whites , whether English , Rus
sian , French or German.
"In the far east , " continued Mr. Blgelow.
"tho United States has now become a rival
of Europe through the occupation of Ma
nila , Americans thus become next-door
neighbors to Hong Kong and are almost
equally Interested In the projected railway
terminating at Klao Chou. In common with
Germany , however , thei United States has
experience yet to purchase ; and from ob
servations made during the war I fear my
country is learning her Iceson at an ex
travagant price.
"Tho United States has officially com
menced the government of a tropical cm-
plro under conditions which make It proba
ble that the Americans will repeat the
blunders which the Englishmen corrected a
century ago. Much as the Filipinos dis
liked Spanish rule , they dlellko Yankee
rule oven moro. Nor is this to bo wondered
at. , Me > thoda successful against American
Indians and against negroes are not
found successful In the Philippines , nor do
they attract a high-spirited race such aa
Inhabit the Philippines.
"Tho curse of America today Is that her
politicians nnd nonspapcrs stand In fear of
the mob. Any one who dares to criticise
the wisdom of niob-lnsplrcd machinery Is
howled at as unpatriotic , If not as a traitor.
"Tbo war fever has gone to the brain of
the American mob , especially that section
of the mob which did not go to the war.
Consequently , the colonial operations of the
United States are marked by great haste
In preparation , hy frequent changes of plan ,
by reckless expenditure of life and money
and by n lamentable failure to fulfill the
reasonable anticipations of the merchant
class , who are , after all , the best Judges of
colonial administration ,
"Tho American lias been a magnificent
colonist Insofar as his task has consisted In
hunting out the red Indian and administer
ing territory for the whlto man only ; but
bo has not yet succeeded In more than ex
terminating an Inferior race. The enormous
liberty 1m claims for hlnuelf liocomes ridic
ulous when shared with the rod' man , the
negro or the Chinaman. England has pur
chased great experience In India. "

Whllo nil the dispatches from South Africa

MAKES ENEMY OF A FRIEND
McimurcM of Venezuelan
I'ronltlcnt ItcKponnltilc far
Itcvoltitloii.
ND\V YOHK , Oct. 3. About a month ago
General JOBO Antonio Vclutlnl , president of
the Venezuelan congress , came to this city ,
accompanied by his sou nnd daughter. The
ostensible object of General Velutlnl's visit
to Now York waa to consult a physician for
the treatment of his daughter. Last Satur
day General Velutlnl nnd his son left thU
city hurriedly for Trinidad , West Indies ,
without even advising hl friends. His sudden -
don departure from Jiere and his leaving
Venezuela at a most critical time , for which
ho said the cause was his daughter's ill
health , wore explained yesterday by Senor
Jwo Gonzalcs , who represents the Venez
uelan revolutionists In this city.
A few months ago President Ignaclo And-
rado Introduced n , bill In the Venezuelan
congress providing for the division of cer
tain states. Under the laws the act was
clearly unconstitutional , and It was this
same meamiro which caused the present
uprising ol General Glprlano Castro. Gen
eral Velutlnl , who IB a close personal friend
ot President Andrade. tried to persuade him
to withdraw the bill. Ho refused to do so ,
and the general , In terms that could not
bo mistaken , Informed the president that
he would not take part In any such uncon
stitutional act. Immediately thereafter ho
came to New York , saying ho would return
when the matter had been disposed of. On
his'arrival here General Velutlnl found a
cable message awaiting him from President
Andrade , In whl&h the latter said that under
the circumstances he hod Inft the country
ha would bo considered an enemy of the
government nnd must remain In exile.
Simultaneously with this dispatch came the
news from Caracas tolling of the Imprison
ment , ot General Velutlnl's friends.
This was moro than the old warrior could
ibear. Ho Immediately put himself In com
munication with the revolutionary junta at
Curacoa , which authorized him to purchase
arms and ammunition for thtr fitting out of n
filibustering expedition which they wished
him to take from Trinidad. The general
bought , with his own funds , 500 rifles and
60,000 cartridges , besides other war Imple
ments , which ho will tafoe with him from
Trinidad to the eastern part ot Venezuela ,
where ho will take the field against General -
oral Andrade.
General Velutlnl Is a man of Influence In
Venezuela. In the administration of Pres
ident Creapo ho was the lattcr's adviser on
many Important questions , He Is the owner
of largo cstatea in Barcelona , bin native
state.
AWARD IN VENEZUELA CASE
Court UnnnlinoiiN In ilie Doclxlnn
Cniiinroniltic on CliilniH of
tlie I'nrticn.
PARIS , Oct. 3. By the decision of the
Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration com
mission some of Great Britain's claims as to
the Interior and on the coast are disallowed.
Its frontier will start at the Walnl river.
The award was unanimous. It Is consid
ered In the nature of a compromise rather
than as favoring Venezuela. It was read at
12:05 : p. m.
The decision , which was read by M , F.
DeMaartcns , the umpire , who has presided
over the deliberations of tbo tribunal , is as
follows :
"Tho undersigned , by these presents , glvo
and publish our decision determining and
Judging , touching and concerning the ques
tions that have been submitted to us by
said arbitration ; nnd , In conformity with
said arbitration , wo decide , declare and
pronounce definitely that the line of frontier
of the colony of British Guiana and the
United States of Venezuela Is as folloufi :
"Starting on the coast at Point Playa , the
frontier shall follow a straight line to the
confluence of the Barima , nnd ths Marulma ,
thence following the thalwcg of the latter
to the source of the Corontln , otherwise
called the Cutarl river. Thence It shall pro
ceed to the confluence cf the Halona and the
Amakuru ; thence following the thalweg of
the Amakuru to Its source In the plain of
Imntlku ; thence In a southwesterly direction
along the highest rldgo of the Imatlka moun
tains to the highest point ot the Imatlki
chain , opposite the source of the Barima and
the principal chain of the Imatlka moun
tains ; thence In a southwest direction to tha
source of the AcarabUI.
Following the thalweg If the Acarlblsl to
the Cuyunl , the northern bank of which It
Ehall follow In a westerly direction to the
confluence of the Cuyunl and the Vanamu ,
thence- along the tbalweg ot tlio Vanumu to
Its westernmost sourso ; thence In a straight
line to the summit of Mount Roralrlma ,
thence to the source of the Cotlngn.
"From this point the frontier shall fol
low the thalweg of the Collnga to Its confluence
fluenco with the Takutu ; thence along the
thalweg of the Takutu to Its source , thence
In a straight line to the most western point
of the Aketrarl mountains , the hlghevt rldg
of which It shall follow to the source of lhn
Correntln , whence It will follow the course
of the river. "
The award of the tribunal , briefly sum
marized , means that of the 60,000 stjuare
miles claimed by Venezuela , that country
obtains only 100,000 , formed partly of the
marshland near the river Barima and a portion
tion In the interior ; while Great Britain re
tains all the forest country.
