Greely Centkk, Neb., Oct. 23. To
the Editor of the Bee: Some of the
friends of Judge T. O. C. Harrison, the
Republican nominee for the supreme
bench, have been leudly asserting that
he had no connection whatever with the
corporations of the state, but there are
one or two matters intimately associated
with his official career In this part of
his judicial district that will have to be
quite extensively explained before the
people of Greely county will concede
that Judge Harrison's relations with
the railroads are not closer than they
ought to be.
Unfortunately (or the judge and his
loud-mouthed friends, there are letters
in existence in this county, signed by no
less importaut personages than General
Manager Holdredge and General Attor

It will be remembered that two years
ago Judge Harrison and Judge Coffin
were the republican nominees for re
election to the bench in this district,
and the former was successful, while
tho latter was defeated by Judge Thomp
son of Grand Island. After the close of
the campaign Judge Harrison came to
a certain attorney In this vicinity who
had worked very earnestly in behalf of
the Republican judicial ticket, bed re
quested him to turn in the bill of ex
pense incurrrd during the campaign,
saying he was ready to settle in cash for
whatever work had been done, and to
reimburse the attorney for whatever he
had expended. The judge was inform
ed that whatever bad been 'dona had
been done purely out of friendship for
Judge Coffin, and that the attorney bad
expected no pay, neither would he ac
cept any. "

The judge thanked him and expressed
the hope that he would be called upon
if it ever lay in his power to grant any
favor. The offer was thankfully ao
knowledged, and the pair separated.
That was during the latter part of
November, and on the 26th of December
the attorney wrote a letter to General
Manager Holdredge requesting an
annual pass over the lines of the Bur

It was answered by tho Burlington
czar on the 2nd of January, and the
writer "regretted that the request
could not be complied with."
Then it was that the attorney thought
of his judicial friend and tho promise
of assistance that he had made. He
bad heard it rumored that certain mem
bers of the judiciary stood very close to
the railroad throne, and he wrote to
Judge Harrison, stating what he wanted

WASBlxoTOJf, Oct 3L At 7:11
o'clock last night by a', vote of 43 ta
S3, the senate, after one of the moat
remarkable parliamentary battles
of a generation, passed the bill anw
conditionally repealing the furchai
ing clause of tho Sherman silver law.
The end was reached at the
conclusion of a continuous session
of fourteen ,days, after sixty'
one days of debate, during?
which five volumes of the Congress
slonal Record had been filled with
speeches, amounting to in the aggro
gate about 20,000.000 words, a stream
of talk that would stretch, in cold
type, from the , seaboard 1,000 mile
into the interior, from Liberty En
lightening tho World in New York
harbor, to the foot hills of the Rocky
mountains. ' -,
The closing day of the great strug
glo was one of intense excitement .
The galleries were packed to the doors,
every seat in the senate was occupied
and the walls were lined with rep
resentatives from the lower branch of
congress. The wifirf of senatorial
courtesy was no protection in the last
moments. Gray haired men did not
spare each other, senator Morgan,
fairly heaped his desunciation oa
Senator Voorhces, tho leador of tha
administration forces, and Senator
Wolcott the Colorado hotspur, con
cluded a fierco philippic against Sena
tor Carey with the Spanish proverb of
Sancho Panza, that it was waste of
labor to shave an ass. The silver
Republicans, Teller, Stewart, Dubois
Wolcott and Jones: Peffer. the
Populist, and Morgan and the old war
governor of Icnnessee, ' Harris, each
made his valedictory. f
i lie Democrats were hot and angry
at the desertion of sonwof their col
leagues that made their flefeat possi
ble; tne l'opuiists warnoq tne senate
the doom of silver was the doom of the
old parties, but there was something
tragically patnetic in the despairing
cry of the silver senator. It meant,
they said, ruin and destruction, and
desolation to the silver producing
states. Senator Jones, with an em
phasis tuat will never be forgotten by
those who heard him, warned thosa
about him that the end of the fierht
marked but the beginning of the bat
tle that would bo waged before the
people.
in tones deep ana tragic lie repeated
Dundee's famous defiance of Gordon:
"There be htlls beyond Pentland,
And frltbe byouJ Foytb. , x
It there be lords on the lowland
There be chiefs In tbe North."
Senator Stewart had the last word.
When tho white bearded Kevadan.
looking like an ancient patriarch,
sank back in his seat. Vice President
Stevenson for the last time an
nounced the bill was before the sen
ate for an amesdraent He paused.
Senator Voorhees, the Tall Syoaiuor
of the Wabash, arose. The decisive
moment had come. The vice presi
dent flashed hia eye about the cham
ber, i ne gaiirrua leaned over. Tha
flood of lignt from the ceiling poured
down npon the senate. The chamber
was ss still ss death. Not a soul
stirred; every one seemed to hold hta
breath.
If there are ua further amend
ments," said the vice president slewlr
and solemnly, ' the etsrk will call the
roll.
