He fought furiously and made a des- '
perate effort to escape. He gave his
name as Arthur Payne. His face was
colored with some preparation to give '
him the appearance of a negro, and
this strengthens the belief that he is
the fellow who has been playing the '
highwayman so successfully of late. !

power in both branches of the legisla

At Beatrice in the first joint discus-

not here to say anything against the
Farmers' alliance. For that organ

and am with them in their great
motto -Equal rights to alt aud special
privileges to none.' I do not come

a judge, a legislator and as a member
of congress to determine my fealty to
the cause of the peopie of Nebraska.
When in congress I put through two

Tne speaker then paid a glowing
tribute to the men who came to Ne

had risen to a'diueuce by their energy

Wyck was worth 500. U00. He wished
it were $1,000. 000 if he had accumu
lated it honestly and without the aid
of a preemption iaw that permitted
him to bring an army of prcemptors
hero from which he later reaped a
munificent speculative benetit. If that
law was wrong Mr. Van Wyck should
have had it repealed when he was ia
the senate.
He paid a high compliment to Hon.
J. Sterling Morton, whom he (Judge
Crounse) had often met at tho state
fairs and horticultural and historical
societies. Ho had yet to meet Mr.
Van Wyck at any of these. If Vaa
