The large Exposition hall at Omaha was packed witn an enmusiasuu uruwu on Monday nlgnt in spite oi me unfav orable weather. t . Mrs. Lease was the principal speaker, and she proved herself the gifted orator-she is reputed to be. She first re ferred to the interview published in tv nhipao Inter-Ocean regarding the t.i'ARt.ment of herself and General Weaver in the south. She said it was correct. Then referring to the forged intArviP.w she said she had never ad vised anybody to vote for Harrison, or said a vote for Weaver was a vote for Harrison. That was an infamous laise hood coined by base politicians.

BY HAMLIN GARLAND. We have seen the reaper toiling in the heat of summer sun, We have seen his children needy when the harvest work was done, ? Wo have seen a mighty army dying hopeless ono by one, While their flag went marching on! Chorus. Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, While their flag went marching on. O the army of the watchers how they swarro the city street;. We have seen them in the midnight where the Goths with Vandals meet, We have shuddered in the darkness at the noises of their ieet But their cause goes marching on. Chorus. ' ." .' '. " .' "' ' Our slaver's marts are empty, human flesh no more is sold Where the dealer's fateful hammer wakes the clink of leaping gold, But the slavers of the present more relentless powers hold, . Though the world goes marching on. Chorus. But no longer shall the children bend above the whizzing wheel; We will free the weary women from their bondage under steel; In the mines and in the forest worn and hopeless man shall feel His cause is marching on. - - Chorus. Then lift your eyes, you toilers, in the desert hot and drear, Catch the cool winds from the mountains, Hark! The river's voice is near; Soon we'll rest beside the fountains and the dreamland will be here As we go marching on. Chorus. with large crowds, but reporters have distorted the reports. The press has shaken my respect for the old bible stories. I used to believ that Ananias and wife were struck dead for falsify ing, but I don't now. Applause You have no idea of the grand ovations we have met with. Never before in the history of America has any presidential candidate received such ovations as General Weaver." -" She spoke of the great Senator Stew art of Nebraska, who has been out cam paigning for Weaver: of Governor Pen noyeriof Oregon who has done the same. She said there, is no hope for the south, or the west, or the republic except in the people's paity. Her speech was ono of the most able and eloquent ever listened to by an Omaha audience. On, Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Lease spoke at AuSurn. The opera bouse was crowded. She was greeted with round after round of applause. GENERAL WEAVER AT NORFOLIf. Norfolk, Neb., Oct, 31. The city ha? been completely in possession of the independent today. They have been coming: in on train? and in wag ons, on horseback and on foot; from all parts of the county, despite the fact that a cold, dismal rain has been pour ing down all day. The attraction was General James B. Weaver, who ad dressed the crowd in the opera house this afternoon. The Hulbert & Lef twich mammoth cir cus tent had been provided for the oc casion,but tho rain prevented its being used, consequently many failed to hear tho speech, as the opera house was en tirely too small for the crowd. General Weaver delivered a telling address, simple, strong and logical. He devo ted a large part of his time to the money issue, which he clearly defined and illustrated. In speaking of his late reception in some parts of Georgia Mr. Weaver stated that to his knowledge the interruptions were work of youth ful hoodlums and rowdies, and not in any instance wer.; "X-Confederate sol diers connected Willi them. During his remarks ho gave his reasons for withdrawing from the re publican party, which was that it had long since ceased to represent the cause of tha poor and oppressed wrkingman of this nation, lie was frequently in terrupted by storms of applause, whioh it was : ivldent came from the very hearts of his audience General Weaver closed his remarks with an appeal for independents to stand by their paacir pics on election day. WEAVER AT GRAKD ISLAND. In epito of the mud and the drizzling: rain, crowds of people turned out to hear General Weaver at Grand Island on Tuesday. Ho spoka ia tho old sugar palace. Ho was greeted witn tnunaer ous applause. He discussed tho situ ation at length, and described tho won derful uprising of the people. He says Alabama will bo won for tho people's party by 50,000. What Crounse Thinks of the Old Sol diers. The following is clipped from tho Kearney Standard of last week: " do not believe that anyone took into consideration at the time he enlisted, the lcind of money he was to receive for his strikes. Is there a man here that is dis satisfied with the pay he received? (An swers yes, yes, by at least a dozen voices Then you are wanting in patriotism, yow. are cowards or bounty jumpers and never fired a shot at a rebel, and went into the army for the money there was in it. " We, the undersigned ex-union sol were diers present at the joint discus sion between Gen. C. H. Van Wyck and Lorenzo Crounse on the 8th day of October, 1892, and we hereby certify that the above is substantially tho language used by Crounso in his reply to Van Wyck's demand that : the sol dier bo paid the difference between what he received in greenbacks and what the bondholder received, which was gold.
