Bit VAX .VOTED TOR fct'OAB "TTST, The pcc-ple of the First congressional district of Nebraska have not forgotten that Mr. Bryan represented them in congress in 1S03. At that time he cast his vote in favor of giving $40,000,000 of tho people's money to the sugar trust. When the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill had been passed by the bouse and re ferred to the senate for concurrence note what happened. Mr. Ilavemeyer. president of the sugar trust, went to Washington, opened headquarters in the finest hotel in the city and sent for the leading democratic senators to call on him. As a result of these confer ences Senator Voorhees championed the sugar trust article of the bill, aad the Rami wan adopted by the senate. The Wilson Gorman bill, as amended. wa returned to the house for the con currence of that body. Mr. Wilson, the father of the original house b II, mado a desperate fight against the senate's sugar trust amendment. In a powerful speech against this amend ment Mr. Wilson m.ido a complete ex position of the nefarious work of Mr Ilavemeyer of the sugar trust. What was the result? When the vote on the sugar trust nraendmenf was taken M Bryan, in the very face of the fact that Mr. Wilson h-d exposed the corrup tion, cast his vote in favor of tho sugar trust,and tho amendment wasadop'el. Mr. Ilavemeyer returned home having gained $40,000,000 at the bands of dem ocracy. A tree is known by the fruit it boars. When a former gold democrat con cludes to support Bryan the Grst thing he does is to prepare a written apology for so doing. lie feels that much is due to his conscience, if not to the public. Mb. BitYAN explains his ice trust affiliations by saying that the ice trust of New York is a mere local issue. A presidential nominee said the same of the tariff in 1880. Genoral Hancock was beaten because of his tariff viowp. In ins speeches Congressman Bout well admits that Bryan's election would disturb business, but adds that this re' suit would "only be temporary." The assurance that the panic would end some time would hardly induce men of sound judgment to help bring it about. No OTHER nation on earth supports so few soldiers. Notwithstanding the rebellion on Liuzon, the troubles in China and the temporary intervention in Cuba, lees than one person in every thousand of our population wears a uniform or carries a gun, a record without parallel in the history of any people, ancient or modern. WILL TAKtC NO CHANCES. Commercial Advertiser. People take no chances with a presi dent unless they are forced to do so, and then the least possible. Nothing could be more damaging to a candi date than the appearance in ordinary business contracts of a clause condi tional on his election. This is a com mon occurrence in various parts of the country now, reading substantially as follow: "This agreement to be null and void in case William J. Bryan is elected president of the United 6tates in November, 1900." There is no poll t:c9 in a proceeding of that character. It is a simple business precaution arising from a situation in which there is an element of risk. The moral effect of it is Incalculable. It carries to tho mind of evory person who heirs of it a realization of what Bryan's elec tion would do in the very first instance it would destroy confidence and thus paralyze business and enterprise. BRYAfrS TALK RECORD Ho Makes Eighteen Speeches In His Day's Tour, Aggre gating Six Hours. FARMERS COMPOSE HI3 AUDIENCES Roosevelt Visits the Democratic Lead er's Home Massachusetts De . mocracy Nominates. Governor Roosevelt's reception at various points in the western part of the state has been magnificent. People of all classes and conditions admire him for his honest courage and straight forwardness. He is distinct ively a man of the people. One does not associate him with the governor ship of the great state of New York. TnERE are those who think of Gov ernor Roosevelt only as a soldier of the "rough and ready" type, not ap preciating the fact that be is quite a writer and the author of a goodly num ber of books. We notice in the Oa tober number of tho Review of Reviews the following, which is only a partial list of the books written by him: "Biunting Trips of a Ranchman," "The Wilderness Hunter," "Naval War of 1812," "American Ideals and Other Es says," "Winning of the West," "Oliver Cromwell," "The Hough Riders." Colonel Bryan's moan over the money expended in restoring the Phil ippines to law and order and the good that might have been done with it in other directions was evidently sug gested by the Pharisoe who was scandalized by the cott of that ala baster box of ointraont in the old days. If sold and the proceeds given to the poor he would havo been happier. State Journal. Tn other words, Bryan asks to be elected to the pro.-idency in order that he may upset existing conditions. He comes before tho country in tho midst of a period of untximplod prosperity and development and says. "Put me at the head of the government and I will change all that!" Is it strange that the American people are not enam ored of his offer? An yet it is the only one he enn make, for change is his only lino of business. In Minnesota a few days ago.ppeak ing of the Philippine question, Mr. Bryan repoated that he was willing to assume all the resontibility for the ratification of . the treaty, hut not for the treaty itself. This treaty carried with it the purchase of the Pnilippiue islands from Spain for $20,000,000, which the " United States paid. Now Mr. Bryan urges that Spain had no title to the islands, and thereforo the United States got nothing for tho money paid Spain. Take his admissions and his contention that Spain had no titlo to convoy it must be said that Mr. Bryan aided and abetted in defraud ing the United States out of $20,000,000. The following special from Chad ron to the State Journal would indicate that there are- a goodly number of socialists in the western part of the state, and that they are not likely to assist the Bryan cause very much: "The fusionists of this section are all disturbed over tho socialist vote that is coming out of populism. Thero is a large per cent of the populist and dem ocratic vote that has gone over to the socialist cause and made correspond ing decrease in the Bryan following. There are some active socialists out working hard for the defeat of Bryan and Poynter.' They prefer tho election of McKinley and Dietrich while estab lishing the socialist party. They havo been working under cover, but have now come out and are working openly. Among the most "active workers are William Martens'and R. M. Stanton." After his speech at Alliance Gov ernor Roosevelt was escorted from the platform to the carriage, and in the center of a cloud of dust, sun ounded I by a hundred yelling, galloping cow boys, was driven off down the street 1o the train. In the race tho boys in turn rode around tho carriage and each leaned over from his broncho as he panned and grasped the governor's out stretched hand. TnE following dispatch from Lead to the Bee gives one some idea of Roosevelt's reception in the Black Hills country: "The City of Mills Is making a wonderful roception tonight to Theodore Roosevelt. The narrow streets of this, the second largest city in the state, are packed for standing room. Homestake miners, who wield the vote of Lawrence county, are out enmasse. Americans, Frenchmen, Finlnndara and nil rlftHuAi apr alike shouting for McKinley and Roosevelt From Dead wood comes tho sound of steam whistles and bells, - and the Bound is swelled by a dozen sirens from Lead. Voters of Lawrence . county have tonight witnessed an object les- on which will tell at the polls." Judge Wakelt-y on Bryan. Omaha, Oct 3. Mr. R. W. Richard son, Chairman of Reception Committee, Dear Sir- I have received vour f aver notifying me of my selection as a mem br of tho committee for the reception in this city of Governor Roosevelt and party on the evening of October 4. I appreciate the courtesy, but must ask that I be kindly excused from aciive duty on the occasion. lor good reasons I have resolved to avoid for the present a "strenuous life" in politics. The party of my youth and earlier manhood, by deser tion ol the true faith and by impure as sociations, has perished and I am con tent to remain a political widower, awaiting the day Then, from the seeds of mournful experience and expiated error, it may spring Into a new lease of life. If, happily, that shall come In my time. , , I am in full accord with McKinley and Roosevelt on the chief issues of this campaign and shall support them with my vote. I perceive no sensible reason for exchanging the safe states- mansnip, abounding prosperity and recognized honor which exist under the present administration for the financial chaos, business disasters and national humiliation which would fol low the deliberate popular approval and execution of the heresies of the Chicago and Kansas City platforms. ' "Imperialism" is a distorted image born of political nightmare and un worthy partisan purpose. To deny that the constitution and inherited principles of this nation are adequate to enable the present generation to possess, hold, govern, improve and bless any land which destiny may bring under tho sway of tho American flag is to impeach the wisdom and fore sight of those who founded the most august and beneficlent republic of all the ages. Very respectfully, E. Wakelky. LaCrosse. Wis., Oct. 3. When Bry an concluded his last speech here last night he bad made eighteen addresses and had covered about fifteen hours ot time during the day. Beginning at 8 a. m., he talked at Intervals until 11 p. m., putting in. all told, fully elx solid hours, of speech-making. The erst speech was made at Shakopee, and after that appearance be epoke In succession at th? following places: Jordan, Belle Plaine, Henderson, Leseuer, St. Peter, Mankato, Janes vllle, Wasecka. Towatona, Dodge Cen ter, Kasson. Rochester. St. Charles. Winona, and three speeches here last night. Most of the talks were com paratively brief, not running over ten minutes, but at St. Peter, Mankato, Rochester, Winona and at this point he spoke at greater length. Paid Attention to Trusts. Almost all the meetings alone the line were held In the immediate vU cinity of the railroad stopping places. mus saving mucn or isrvan's thne and giving the people more time to listen to in is remarks. The region traversed yesterday is a rich agricultural section and Bryan 8 remarks were addressed especially to farmers, the trust Ques tion receiving even a greater share of attention than usual. The audiences were large as a rule.- There were es pecially good crowds at Mankato. Towatona, Rochester, Winona, and at tnis place there were three lare-e an. aiences. tie was met at the station nere by quite a large concourse of neo pie, put ty no organization. He did not arrive until almost 8:30 o'clock and he was driven raridlv to th rink where he made his first speech here. He then spoke at Germania hall and the opera house, and all three of these Duuaings were filled. Roosevelt Visits Lincoln. Neb. Dincoln, Neb., Oct. 3. For some days iJiciraiauuus uave oeen niaae for a monster demonstration at this place the home of Bryan and the capital of iue ware in Honor or (Jovernor Roose velt. Nothing equal to It has been seen during the progress of this Jour ney, wuicn nas now extended some 9,' 000 miles and covered a period of thir ty days. The line of march of the car nages rrom tne station to Capital xiuuse square, something over a mile ana a nair, was lined with people ev erywnere. Arriving at the capital square the governor was conducted to a reviewing stand on the street and a grand procession passed In review, oc cupying more than an hour. After the procession bad passed 1n review Gov ernor Roosevelt addressed as many of iue rrowa arouna tne stand as his voice would reach. MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRACY. Robert Treat Paine, Jr.. Again to Lead the Party for (iovernor. Boston, Oct. 3. Robert Treat Taine, Jr., will again head the ticket which tne uemocrats or this state will be asked to support at the coming elec tion, having received the nomination for governor at the state convention Held in aneull hall yesterday. The remainder of the ticket follows: Lieu tenant governor, Hon. John B. O'Don- nell, of Northampton; - secretary of state. General Luther B. Stevenson, of Hingham; auditor, E. Gerry Brown, of Brockton; treasurer, John L.Challfoux, of Lowell; attorney general, John C. Crosby, of Pittsfleld. The platform adopted declares the dominant question to be the continu ance of government by consent of the governed; that the rorto Rico law is an outrage on the liberties of the people; calls for a free constitution for Cuba, and In the Philippines a speedy restor ation of independence; opposes any al liance, open or secret, with any for eign nation; condemns company stores in the coal fields; condemns useless commissions In the state; calls for re- auctions in railroad rates and more power for the railroad commissioner; calls for the Inltative and referendum, also an Inheritance tax and municipal ownership of public utilities, and con demns the Albany lease as a robbery or the state. An Innovation was the reading of the Declaration of Independence previous to beginning the work of the conven tion, this preliminary being deemed fitting In view of the fact that this convention was held on' the anniver sary of the first election of Jefferson. Hon. William S. McNary, of Boston. was permanent chairman of the con vention. Board or Trade auditorium. The so cial yesterday made the run from Fort Wayne, Ind., including a total of eight stops.

Remit Is That the Whole Criminal Docket la Invalidated. Mattoon. Ills.. Oct. 3. In the Mat toon city court Monday Judge James F. Hughes decided that the whole criminal docket of the September term was invalidated because of the illegal manner In which. the grand Jury had been drawn. The Coles county court of supervisors met Sept. 11 and picked grand jurors, but failed to specify for what term tbey had been selected, nor was the list filed with he clerk until the morning the grand Jury convened. The grand Jury returned ninety-one indictments, and 153 counts were re turned against liquor men, keepers of gaming houses, etc. The statute pro vides that the Jurors must be selected twenty days before the convening of the term of court for which they are named, and must be notified of thier appointment by the sheriff or his offi cers at least ten days before. ELOPERS HAVE A "TIME." Boggy Breaks Down and the Wedding; Is 1'nla.lilonably Delayed. Franklin, Ind., Oct. 3. A sensation al runaway wedding took place at 8 a. m. Saturday, at the home of George Ilollenbac-k, In Union township, the parties being Clarence Cutsinger, youngest son of Martin Cutsinger, and Miss Rebie Thompson, only daughter of John A. Thompson, cashier of the A. C. Thompson bank, both of Edin burg. The young people, accompanied by Homer CuLsinger, brother of the bridegroom, came to this city Friday night and procured a marriage li cense. They then drove away from the city In a westerly direction. In the darkness their buggy was upset and at 4 they arrived at the Ilollen back home. After daylight Elder Simeon Riggs was summoned and the knot was tied by him. Afterward the young couple drove to this city and registered at the up-town hotel. The father of the bride reached the city on a morning train In a very angry frame of mind. The bride will he 21 on her next birth day, and the bridegroom is '2'2.
