They came from the north and the
south, from the east and the west. They
crowded depot platform and hung upon
the cars. When the special train bear
ing Governor Roosevelt and party pul
ed into O’Neill a shout went up from
thousands of voices, band music burst
forth and the noise of exploding gun
power resounded in the air. The gov
ernor and party, upon alighting from
the train, were at once esoorted to a
speaker’s stand that had been erected
near the depot. The vast throng of
people moved as close as possible to the
stand to hear the fameous rough rider.
Judge M. F. Einkaid, in a characteristic
.and btting manner, introduced the
colonel, who spoke in part as follows:
"My own countrymen: Before speak
ing to you what I am to say, I want to
call your attention to one fact. The
other day at Lincoln I stated that Gov
ernor PoyntQr had been reported as
having spoken of the United States
regular soldiers in the Philippines as
‘fifteen dollars a month hirelings.’ He
has denied that he ever made suoh
statement, attributing to me the use of
the word ‘butcher,’ which I never used.
Not only was he reported in the press as
making such statement, but Messrs.
Deitrich and Steuffer, now runjning on
the republican ticket, heard him use
those words; it was in the latter part of
August at the old soldiers’ picnic at
Dakota City, and in the latter part of
September at Superior he made the
same statement, and Messrs. Deitrich,
Prout, Savage and Steuffer all heard
him use those words. Now, I want to
use tnat as a text.
"A word»to yon here. This town is
named O’Neill. The name will always
have a very close association with me
for two of my captains, two who were
together with me at San Juan, and two
ot the best men I had in the regiment,
one of them was captain Bucky O’Neill,
the other was Captain Allen Capron.
O’Neill’s father waB born in Ireland, he
fought in.brigade on that day
when that brigade left its dead close to
wall at Fredericksburg. (Voice, 'I was
there, I was there.’) Good. Allen
Capron comes from the old American
stock. His forefathers had been a peo
ple where for generations every one had
had a father or son in the service of the
United States and had fought in every
war in which our country has been
engaged—the great great grandfather
in the revolution, the next generation,
the great grandfather, in the Mexican
war, the grandfather in the war of 1801,
and the son in the Spanish war. Buck
O’Neill’s father was born in Ireland.
It made no difference what a man’s creed
was or what his birthplace, if he was an
American in thought and practice it was
enough for us. It was enough for me
to know that these ‘hirelings’ were on
my Bide and none of ns paid much
attention whether they were volunteer s
or regulars.
“The ‘hirelings’ left some 400 of their
number killed and wounded to lie in
graves in Cuban soil. The other day
over in the Philippines 150 of our men
were attacked by ten times their number,
and being true sons, beat them back,
and fifty of their men were killed and
wounded; and then say ‘hirelings’ I Our
| wounded ‘hirelings’ are dying on fever
I cots over in the Philippines. You re
member when you were called ‘Lincoln
hirelings,’ and were jeered at. I ask the
American people to stamp any party
that will speak of the common soldier
who.bears his breast to the bullets, who
dies that men may hold up their heads—
that we may hold up our heads higher
for it—as hirelings, I ask your to stamp
with disapproval these men as a proper
reward. I have given names and dates
of Governor Poynter’s statements; I
don’t make any statement if 1 cannot
stand up to it.
i “In closing I appeal to your intelli
gence, your common sense, from a ma
terial standpoint. If you deal with a
man in the store and he goes back on
yon and fools you it is your fault if you
get fooled again. I don’t wonder that
when a man feels sick and don’t know
what to do when he trys a quaok. Four
years ago some of you went after strange
; gods. When a man feels sick I don't
wonder that he should try quack medi
cine, but if he tries it again I don’t pity
him. I ask you to compare the prophe
cies of Mr. Bryan four years ago; none
fulfilled; we have gone up, not down;
Old Man Well Enough is Old Man Good
Enough, and leave him alone. \
“Now from a standpoint of what is
lottiest m our own life. We have here
a veteran, Captain Henry A. Walker,
who helped to carry the dead body of
Abraham Lincoln. (Here Captain Walk
er raised to his feet and stood upon the
platform before the people.); The
pioneers and the eons of pioneers who
hare held up this country, I appeal to
you to keep the flag where yon have
raised it. This nation is a great world
nation, aud has to do its part of the
world’a work. We own the Philippine
islands; we will give them liberty under
the flag and protection to life and prop
erty, not only private but public and
ecclesiastical. We ask you to stand
with us; we will give them self-govern
ment as far as we can and we will give
them liberty, too. under the American
flag. I want you to say in the face of
Ktbe new century that where the Ameri
can flag has been raised, it shall never
be hauled down again.”
Those with Governor Roosevelt were:
Curtis Guild of Massachusetts, Senator
Dolllver of Iowa, Charles H. Deitricb,
republican candidate for governor, E.
P. Savage, candidate for lieutenant
governor, William Steufer, for treasur
er, F. N. Prout, for attorney general,
Charles Weston for auditor and G. D.
Fullmer for commissioner. Judge Kin
kaid also accompanied the party as far
as O’Neill. The party left about 12
o’clock. Fully 3,000 listened to the
governor’s speech here.
In the afternoon ez-Oovernor Crounse
spoke to a multitude of people from a
platform at the corner of Fourth and
Douglas streets. For two hours and
twenty minutes Governor Crounse pour
ed out his soul In the quee&’s English
that mad# pops squirm and scratch their
heads. He took up each issue of the
campaign separately and treated them
as only a master of political topics can.
It was a great day for republicans
and it may safely be said that it was the
most largely attended political meeting
ever held in O’Neill.
Onr gentle, refined and perhaps ex
cited friends, the enemy, have made
a specialty of proclaiming from the
house top that this and that republican
has “come out for Bryan.” Long sen
tences have been written telling the
story and more than once investigation
has proved them false. Men have been
claimed for the Bryan cause who are
stedfastly for McKinley; anybody that
is on the fence is herald abroad by the
laniher-lunged pops as a “Bryan sup
porter," while others who were never
anything but democrats are pronounced
“converted.” The Frontier has not said
much about the changes going on from
the Bryan following to that of the Mc
Kinley, not beoause there are no changes
—for we can count many in this county
—but for the special edification of those
who spread the rumors for the pops we
take occasion to mention two of the
most prominent incidents that have been
brought to our attention. Dr. Black
burn of Atkinson, who has long stood
high in the counoils of the fusion party
in Holt county and who not more than
two months ago spoke at a Bryan rally
in O’Neill, is now openly supporting
McKinley. We are moreover informed
from a trustworthy sourse that Beth
Woods, one of the Bryan party fathers
at Atkinson, has also decided to support
McKinley. These are but two of the
many olir attention has been directed to
the past few days. For every republi
can that has gone to Bryan we can name
one that has forsaken him.

TEN THOUSAND
PROSPERITY VOICES
The Frontier takes the following from
a letter from Clyde King, who recently
went to Moline, 111.* to assume charge
of the advertising department of the
Moline Plow company. Clyde says:
“It is a most pleasant sensation to
liye again in a republican community.
A circle of three miles in diameter, with
the Molina postoffloe for a center, would
include 100,000 people. You might say
they all depend upon the factories for a
livelihood,and it is a ten-to-one shot that
Sheriff Stewart, with all his dilegence as
a distress tax collector, even had he as
much speed as Dr. Berry, could not find
a democrat in an hour with a search
warrant. Pops are an unknown quanti
ty and the states where they live are
referred to by the people here as the
'bad lands.’
“Tonight a richly uniformed demo
cratic club oame over from Rock Island
and Davenport with a band and banners
with the intention of parading the town
and/ holding a pow wow at democratic
headquartora. When they reached
Third avenue, from ten thousand well
dressed, well-paid, well-fed, prosperous,
contented and happy laboring men went
up such a lond and long ’hurrah tor
McKinley t* that the democrats faoed
about and returned to the place whence
they came without having reached dem
ocratic headquarters. Iliave met but one
democratic and all the boys use him as a
joke that they never tire langhing at.
“8hould any of my friends happen to
inquire, tell them I send kind regards;
that I am favorably impressed with
Moline and in love with its people irre
spective of gender; that I am advertis
ing manager for the largest exclusive
plow manufactory in the world—which
makes ’the fameouB Flying Dutohman
line, the beat plow on earth for the
money.’ ”
Erom Bryan to McKinley.
(Omaha Bee, Oct. 1.)
Deloit Township, Holt County, Neb.,
Sept. 24, 1900.—To the editor of The
Bee: I want to say to my friends
through the Bee that 1 am for the
straight republican ticket this year.
McKinley times are good enough for me
and I want to have more good times. I
was populist committeeman of Deloit
township long enough to find out that
the populist party is not a party of
reform, and I can’t see how any think
ing man can support Bryan again after
seeing the prosperous condition of the
country and seeing how Bryan's pre
dictions have turned out.
A large number of my neighbors who
supported Bryan four years ago are,
like myself, disgusted with the talk
about imperialism, .trusts, etc., and will
this time cast their votes with the party
that always gives us good government
and good prioes for our products. I am
for the straight republican ticket.

Edinburgh and otlxr large cities.
Scotch banks have gone into London
and done business there, and English
banks would be only to willing to re
taliate by opening branches In Scot
land. Besides, It is pointed out that tA
the proposal of the corporation of
Glasgow is not sound banking finance,
as the corporation binds ltsslf to hold
a gold reserve of only one-quarter of
a million, exactly one-half the issue of
notes. In times of dear money and
financial distrust the notes might not
be readily negotiable, for then the
public instinctively prefers gold.—
