Ho appears nervous and dis traught, and Is visibly aging under tho strain of fighting tho field with an un willing and sullen army at his back." Purpose of the Ileports. All theso reports aro roanlfastly con cocted for one purpose, and that is to cro ate the Impression that the Douglas delega tion was from the outset anxious to desert their colors and break faith with their con stituents, wben as n matter of fact thero never has been a moro loyal delegation sent out of Omaha and Douglas county. Thero has never been a day or on hour In which nny member of his delegation has wavered In his allegiance or Intimated any Intention to go over to any other candidate. On tho contrary, every member has resented tho Imputation of disloyalty as a reflection upon his Integrity. At no stage during tbo last six weeks has Mr. Rosewater given himself the least concern about tho delegation. Tho story about tho discharge of the spotters and strikers Is a brazen falsehood. No spotters or lobbyists have been employed by Mr. Rosewater during tho wholo sena torial campaign. Anderson and Vardell, the men mentioned by the World-Herald, are not known to him. The only person under pay who has spent any time at bis headquarters was Mr. Campbell, who for moro than twenty years has been on the pay roll of Tho Deo In the counting room and as trav eling solicitor.
