From thePrairie Home, a middle- of-the-road populist paper publish ed at Hartwell, Neb., we take the iollowinjr speech delivered at the late populist state convention by "Will T. McGuire of Furnas county, who is a strong-, straight-out popu list. Many populists in Lincoln county share Mr. McGuire's views in regard to fusion. Lucien Steb bins is a regular contributor to the Prairie Home, as are other middle of-the-road populists of the state. Mr. McGuire spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention. There was a call carao out to my count', stating that the Populists were going to have a stato convention, for ihe purpose of nominating u state ticket, and as a Populist I was sont hero, to find affairs to badly mixed that I must in the words of another, Mr. Chair man: ask "in the name of GOD where are we at," are we, the delegates who are iresh from the people, going to act out our people s will, or allow ourselves to be swayed by the Eloquence of that Im ported Congress of Fusion talent, or (fusionists raised a po'nt of order, that the speaker was not talking on the ques tion before the house, ben. Allen ruled them out of order the speaker may continue.) Gentlemen of the Conven lion I overheard a conversation be tween two ladies at the mass meeting this afternoon that impressed mo deenlv.

A man traveling" on horseback drove into Sutherland Wednesdav i ' and after making inquires from dif ferent persons as to the best road leading" to North Platte, continued on his way. It was noticed by Henry Coker that the mysterious fellow had but one horse when he entered the town but was leading an extra horse when he departed. Mr. Coker suspicioned something wrong" and a hasty inyesligation k revealed the fact that one of his animals had disappeared. Sheriff Miller was wired to be on the lookx out tor the fellow and a reward of S?5 offered for his capture. Mr, Coker went in pursuit of the fleeing thief and pressed him hard. A few miles out of Sutherland the fellow changed horses and allowed his own animal to graze along" the road. When Sheriff Miller received word from Mr. Coker he immediately sent out men to the different bridges to look for the thief. While on his way out "Jack" Davis met the man coming across the tracks west of the stock yards and repre hended him. The thief is about 2L vears of age and it is believed that he is a deserter of the army. When .arrested he was togged out in Uncle Sam's clothing from headgear even to spurs. Deputy Sheriff Keliher wired to Indian Agency headquar ters at Crawford and to Ft. Russel at Cheyenne, and if the prisoner is a deserter the government will take him off the county's hands. The Luther League was inter faced last evening by Miss Bertha Theolecke at her home south of -the city. The leaguers, to the number of twenty five, were conyeved to their meeting place in a carry-all and passed a very agreeable evening. Refreshments were provided by the hostess. Judge Hininan contributed a very interesting and truthful com munication to the Tuesday issue of the Daily Telegraph on the subject of the gambling which is being car ried on in the city. The Judge charges the sheriff, the deputy sheriff and the marshal with being derelict in their duty in not prohib iting this gambling. In this the Judge but voices the sentiment of all the better class of citizens. The Judge also calls attention to the fact that the renting ot a room for gambling purposes is punishable by a fine or imprisonment in the county jail, and strongly intimates that a late candidate for supreme judge might be held liable under this statute.

Snavely to wonder for a time as to why his home had thus been invaded, B. L. Robinson, on behalf of the Epworth League, presented Mr. Snavely with a handsome and said that he hoped of assistance to him in his path in future years. It was a complete surprise and for a few moments the recipient was overcome. But he rallied and in a feeling manner expressed his thanks and appreciation for the gift and for the spirit that prompted it. Then the League, feeling that they had helped to bring "light at least" into one home, after congrat ulations and hearty wishes tor many happy returns of the day, wen ded their way homeward. roi l 1 1 A r I IS at work in his shop to-day as us ual turning out Pacific bicycles, per fectly contented with his lot in North Platte.

(Laughter and prolonged applause on the noor and m the galleries.

They stand ready to work with you n v along populist lines and in keeping our cardinal principles in their purity; thus they will again toil with you on to vic tory or will condole with you in def-at; but sirs, I warn you, that they will stand firm and refuse to follow your LEADER SHIP into the wilderness of fusion and party infidelity, for that course wo be lieve to be wrong, impolitic, unwise and eventually disastrous. (The fusionists Hgh, the middle-cf-tho-road populists cheer. Gentlemen of the convention are wo tho delegates of tho PEOPLE'S PARTY" going to heed that FUSION LOBBY that are everywhere activo on this floor and that throng those galler ies? Are we going to HUMILIATE OURSELVES to-night by accepting their invitation, and become the pall bearers to our own party's funeral? Why sir, when our party was young iu years and tew in number, it had the courage to stand alone and thereby gained honor fame and power.

Tho populist party was born of necessitv, born to livo and not by fusion hands to DIE. Hu manity has a great work for it to do that is high in purpose and noblo in end. fCries of you are right). Then permit not the manacles of fusion to impede its progress, let it go onward and upward and lift those clouds of financial and in dustrial thraldom that aro sotting down over this country like the shadows of a mighty storm, brought on by the two old parties that want to FUSE with us to-night. Some gentlemen, who have addressed this convention, seemed to swell their breasts with pride when they told us that they wero populists. As a populist I ask them how they propose to har monize their utterances when they tell us now that they will warmly welcome into qur midst the same CAUSES that they once said produced cur country's DISEASE. Oh; what a grand theory! Put out a fire by adding to it a little more fuel! Lspect a reform party to reform oy calling in the old parties to help it that first raado reform necessary. I am amazed at their matchless wisdom but I hope the day of its consummation will never come. (Applause.) Tho congressman from Kansas (Jerry Simpson) entertained us to-night in re lating the Czar-like rulings of Speaker Reed, but from what state will the man hail who will tell of the COERCION that has been practiced here when a gontleuian came in here and in stentor ian voice told us "that we must co-operate and tho men who would oppose it in this convention WOE BE UNTO HIM.' Mr. Chairman is it possible that utter ance came from tho man whoso name is a household word, whose portrait hangs upon the walls of more than two mil lion homes and is looked upon by thoso people who think that he is their friend. Why, sir, has not his action on that ros trum made it plain that instead of be ing a patient counseling friend ho is A DOMINEERING DICTATOR. Whv. Mr. Chairman, has it como to that so soon that a populist dare not speak in his own convention or make known the wish of his people here, if their views do not coincide with the WILL of Mr. Bryan. There is one man who will say to that distinguished gentleman that the good of the populist party DOES NOT OR ELSEWHERE, for right, reason and common sense is the populist motto and guide, and wo have no more use for dictator in our ranks than did our noble sires have Tor lienedint ArnnlH m tho Continental Army. (Loud annlause mingled with hisses.) o-ne gentleman irom Montana tola us this afternoon "that what Nebraska was most in need of was free coinage of back bone. The gentleman was right. We havo in this convention the crude mr. tonal, plenty of it, but the question is as to its stiffness and grit. My populist friends, if we aro not more characters upon the political chess-board to be moved at tho pleasure of tho plavers, lot us assert our manhood, have the cour age of our convictions and show to thoso fusionists of even' color and brand that we havo a party honor that is strict and Jl T" t . 1 it ngtci. jj-t us snow them in no uncer tain tones that thy cannot purloin one or two planks from our platform w:th the hono of fooling our party to destruc tion.
