LINCOLN. Nov. 3. (Special.) As the
day of election draws nearer the Indica
tions become, more and more conrluslvo
that Lancaster county will contribute Its
full shure of votes toward the success of
all republican candidates. In the cam
paign that Is now practically closed the
one especially noticeable feature has boon
the disposition of tho fuslonlsts to sacrifice
tho Interests of the national and Btato
tickets for the benefit of the lcglslatlvo
candidates, Tin fusion campaign In Lan
caster county has been characterized by
deception and underhanded methods. In
the cause of "reform" thousands of an
nonymous letters and circulars of a crim
inal nnd libelous nature have been cir
culated among tho voters of the. county.
Among voters generally, without regard
to politics. It Is believed that Ilryan will
be a candidate: for United .States sonator
In the event of his defeat In the nntlonal
election. Fuslonlsts hero do not look for
him to win In the nntlonal race and con
cquently they are exerting every pos
sible effort to elect the Lancaster county
popocratlc candidates for the legislature.
To accomplish their desire they havo re
ported to dishonorable means, which, ap
parently, havo only reacted against them
(iiiilrninn Coclirniie Coiillilcnt.
"I am averse to forecasting the results
of election." said Chairman Cochrane this
afternoon, "but I feel perfectly safe In
predicting that not a candidate on the
republican ticket will get less than 1,500
plurality In Lam aster county. I base
this prediction onl on Information of a
tnost reliable character and a thorough
houKO-to-houso poll which Included every
precinct In the county. I also feel safe
In saying that the legislative candidates
will not fall behind the balance of the
ticket; In fact, there are strong Indication
that they will run ahead of some of the
other candidates. Tho fuslonlsts havo
centered their fight on the republican can
didates for the legislature, but I have
Veen tumble to detect any serious effect
ao far
'"I believe the vote In Lancaster county
vlll exceed the vote cast In 18'j6. Wo have
made a special effort to get our voters out
for registration ami we will not civet
look them, on election day. It will b
n exceedingly difficult thing for n repub
lican to stay twny from the polls next
Tuesday.
"Troiii what I have been able to see of
the light being made by the opposition It
appears that they are trying to carry the
legislature so that V. J. Ilryan may be
elected I'nlted States senator. The fu
slonlsts cannot possibly pet a majority
without tho seven delegates from this
rounty nnd consequently the fusion com
mittee of this county Is being backed by
the state nnd national populist organiza
tions, for they have apparently given up
hopo of electing Ilryan president. The
next legislature will have to redlstrlcl the
elate Into legislative. Judicial and congres
sional districts. If (ho opposition con
trols the legislature they will bo able
to reduce the representation from Lan
caster county nnd Increase tho representa
tion from fusion districts. This and
tho election of Ilryan are tho paramount
Issues with them and they are resorting
to all kinds of scandalous and anonymous
communications, flooding the mall with
barges that no man dares to sign nnd
nro even Rending out circulars purporting
to come from (his committee. Such dls
reptitab'o politics are only used as a last
resort. They mean to win by fair means
or foul Every fair-minded man, regard
less of politics, should stamp with his vote
the disapproval of such methods, and I
think they will do so. Every man on our
ticket Is an honorable man and deserves
the support of all republicans."

Colonel Jay L. Torroy, after spending sev
eral days here looking after tho extensive
cattle business near here In which he Is In
terested, has returned to Wyoming to as
sist In closing the campaign and to cast
Irts vote. Colonel Torrey, In an Interview
before his departure concerning the polit
ical outlook and tho Issues of tho cam
paign said:
"I havo a letter from tho chairman of
our stnto committee In Wyoming and he
assures mo that the republican ticket will
be triumphantly elected In every county
of tho state. This Is Indeed very good
uews, as tho electoral vote was cast for
Colonel Ilryan at the last Kcueral elec
tion." A very convincing bit of sound money
argument has conio Into tho possession of
Colonel Torrey in the ordinary course of
correspondence. It Illustrates tho differ
euco between the financial system of this
country and of Old Mexico, where they
havo "free and unlimited coinage of silver
without reference to any other nation.'
What Colonel Torrey snld upon this sub
Ject was as follows:
One of the boys who was In our reel
meut nfter It was mistered out went to
tho City of Mexico. I'nfortunntelv he cot
Into trouble nnd borrowed $10, which under
me pecjiiur circumstances or the case I
thought best to pay. Accordingly I sent
to the one from whom the money was bor
lowed a New York draft for $10. Iletweon
tho time of my remittance and lis arrival
he lutd liorowed $5 more. I'pon the receipt
of my draft It was taken to the b(.nk and
tht ie whh received for It in Mexican tnniiev
J20.45. With this amount tho 215 was n.ild
1.111I my correspondent had rtmalning $5. 45
tc my credit. This, however, wns In Mexi
can money, for which a draft was seiu me
for $.' C4, so that the account shows that
with $7.3'l I have pnld $1" and the exchange
both ways. This sounds like a tlminclnl
speculation on my part. Thnt Is. I havo
pntd an obligation of $15 with less than half
th amount.
if President McKlnley Is re-e'ectnl our
prosperous limes will bo continued: If
Colonel Ilryan Is elected conditions for 11
time, at least, will be chaotic, with results
wh'ch no human can foresee. 1 have great
confidence In the (rood sense of the peoplo
and hence anticipate with eonlldenco the
re-election of tho president.

One hundred nnd seventy-four persons, by
actual' count, were all the fuslonlsts could
muster In th's tlty tonight for their last p.i
rado of the campaign. This number Included
two bands that were hired to march In the
procession. After the pnrndo George W.
Ilerge, the fusion candidate for congress
man, spoko In the Auditorium to u crowd
that only half filled the building.
The event was under the ansplces of the
fusion congressional ami county committees.
It wns heralded In, udvance as the greatest
rally of the campaign and, as Mr. Ilerge had
not spoken In Lincoln. It was expected that
a good slied crowd would turn out to hear
him. The whole nffalr Is a disappointment
to the fusion managers. At the Auditorium
the speaking was delayed until after 0
o'clock In the hope that people would come
In and fill up the vacant Bents.
After announcing from the platform that
he was going m be elected, Mr. Ucrge told
his hearers how he would nsslst In smashing
all the trusts In tho land, how he would
voto to pull down the ling from tho Philip
pines nnd, If necessary, how he would voto
fcr the 16 to 1 proposition. In all respects
the rally was a pronounced failure In which
less Interest wns manifested than In nny po

campaigns past.
Iteiclstrntlon of the City.
From the expression of party affiliation
In tho three days' registration In this city
It Is evident that the uverage republican
plurality In Lancaster county will be about
2,000. In the several city wards 7,012 voters
registered, 'and of this number 4,403 de
clared for the icpubllcnn party. Of the bal
ance 1,504 declared for fusion nnd l,Ffi2 re
fused to state their politics. The election
last year demonstrated that about 0 per cent
of those refusing to state their politics vote )
for republican candidates. If the same rule
holds good this year tho republican plurality
In the city, taking the registration as a ba
sis, can be estimated at 1.S47. The country
precincts muy be relied upon to bring this
number past the 2.000 murk. The registra
tion also shows that the vote will exceed
that of any recent campaign. In 1806 the
total vote wns less than 7,000, and last year
only 5,400. The following shows the re

his reusons for returning to tho republican

only time the democratic party had been
on the right side of the question since
the time of Jefferson was In 1806 and then
because of defeat tho party hunted for
new Issues and got on tho wrong side
of them as usual and that, said the speaker,
was the reason why free sliver republicans
were returning to the republican party.
Ills speech was listened to with close at

In 1S06 tho vote for president In this town-
ship was Hrynn 117, McKlnley 58, but the
opinion of conservative people Is that this
year the result will be too close for com
fortfor the fuslonlsts. The republicans
number among their most nctlvc workers
some who four years ago were Just as
ardent followers of Ilryan, besides a good
many who are not saying anything. There
are also several mid-road populists who,
while claiming not to be republicans, say
they have a little too much patriotism left
to vote for Ilryan. The slanderous letter
on Mr. Dietrich Is acting as a boomerang
hero nnd will make. Instead of loss to him,
votes. The local fuslonlsts are making a
frantic effort to hold their men In line for
Bryan nnd tho stnto ticket.
HONEST MEN ARE DISGUSTED

HASTINGS. Neb, Nov. 3. -(Special )-A
reaction has set In throughout tho entire
Fifth district which will be greatly In favor
of Dietrich next Tuesdny, as the political
lies circulated by the World-IIcrald are
acting us a boomerang nnd nre making
votes for the republican candidate for gov
ernor. Many of tho lending democrats In
Hastings nnd Adams county who have
herotoforo been counted as I'oynter men
hnve come out openly nnd declared them
selves for Mr. Dietrich. The lice corres
pondent Interviewed nearly 100 democrats
of this city during tho past few dnys and
each and every one of them expressed
themselves as being thoroughly disgusted
with tho manner In which the fuslonlsts
are conducting their cnmpalgn against Diet
rich, and In almost every Instance they hnve
raid that If they hud not uven thought
of voting for Mr. Dietrich before they cer
tainly would cast their ballot for him now,
as thev could not, nnd would not, see an
honest, unrleht nnd hlghlv respected cltl
ten so basely slandered without coming to
his assistance. The action taken by the
city council whereby the members of that
nugUBt Loily passed a resolution, signed by
every member regardless of his political
affiliations, denouncing the slanderous, war
llko methods udopted by the fuslonlsts In
llielr ambition to defeat Dietrich, has had
a tendency to thoroughly stir up tho busi
ness men. There were many ministers In
Hastings this week, who came hero to get
tho truth concerning Mr. Dietrich. Every
one of them hnd been Informed Hint Mr.
Dietrich had been separated from bis wlfo
nnd wns not llvlug with her. These minis
ters were escorted to Parkview cemetery,
where stands a magnificent granite monu
ment which hears the nunie of Mrs. Charles
Dietrich and the date of her death. This
was a genuine surprise to every minister,
as tliey hnd been told that Mrs. Dietrich
was ullve. but was separated from her hus
band. After having made this Investigation
and having 'ntervlowcd the business men
of the city In regard to Mr. Dietrich's char
acter they expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased with tho Information they
had obtained nnd said that from the In
formation they hnd bad before coming here
they had been led to believe that Charles
Dietrich's character waB as black as was
possible to be, but they were now prepared
to denounce reportB along this line ns not
alono false, but mean and contemptible
lies gotten up for political effect, and politi
