SENATOHIAL SCHNIH AND INCIDENTS.
LINCOLN , January 21. The present
L-gialatnro is made up. for the most
part , cf men who do their own think
ing and voting. They have comedown
down here with the full understanding
that they will be held responsible for
tholr acconnto nnd do not seem dis
posed to yield to outside pressure or
dictation. These who have never
been subjected to the ordeal can
hardly -comprehend what it means for
a man to stand fearlessly by his
honest conviction , from early dawn
until long after nJdnlght. Almost
every member of the legislature is
HOUNDED BT TUAINE1) TKMPTEUS
who make seductive appeals to his
ambition for place and power , and as
sail bin honesty by holding out in
ducements of pecuniary reward.
Where they fail to play upon avarice
or ambition , they appeal to partisan
prejudice
The crafty corporation managers ,
though their editors and retainers nro
joalonsly swinging the party whip
over the heads ot republicans , and
tolling them that they must abide by
the choice of n republican caucus ,
when they well know that a caucuj ,
through their instrumentality will give
them what they could not. got by the
individual choice of mumbern.
IN TIIK FIRST PLACE
there is no law for buying a man's
vote In n caucus either with promises
of ollhe , lucrative employment ot
money ; in the next place men who
enter the caucus do not feel the same
responsibility and restraint because at
boat their action dote not go upon the
record , and if perouaaco the majority
dosreea that they must nnppoit a man
for sermtor whom they would.not dare
to vote tor If loft - ij holt
own choice , they go out of
thu caucus with the excuse
"Why , wo had to do it because we
were pledged to stand by the CAUCUS
nominee. "
The railroad organ in thin city
makes a frantic appeal to the sovoatj
republicans to rally round one man ,
no matter who ho may bo , nnd clecl
him. As republicans they are in duty
bound to abide by the ruling of kin
caucus.
TDK MONOl'OTACKOANIST
swings the red rag in front of the republican
publican bull by assorting th t thi
democracy nnd an ti-monopolists arc
all consolidated. This Is In the fact
of the fjct that neither thi
democrats nor the antl-monopollsti
have as yet been able tc
agree among themBolvcs upor
ono matx ; and even if they were con
solidated could not elect without the
oupport of republicans. There cor'
talnly does not appear to bo the remotest
motest show of electing a democrat
bnt it is inevitable with the proaaurc
that la being brought that a republics
caucus wiil cheese a monopolist. I
it is not foe Millard it will be semi
man who can command theajpport o
the railroads while ho is matqaerad
ing as an anti-monopolist.
TUB IMIUEK FODKTHH HOLE
by which the scheming railroad attor
noyo are trying to inveigle the anti
monopoly republicans Into a canon
will be no birrlor. Whenever any can
dldato commands thirty.fivo votes il
a caucus thoaa who support the mine
candidates will go over In a body , am
before they realize it will bo bound t
support a man whom they never wonli
have voted for had they been left t
their personal choice.
It will be a very easy matter t <
pool the railroad vote in a caucui
on ono man , bat it wouli
bo no easy matter to elect such a mai
in the open field. Quito a number o
republicans elected on antl-monopol
pledgee have all along professed tha
they propose to vindicate the republican
can party by casting their votes enl
for a man who is sound on the rallvra
issue , but moat of these men
IIAVK VALLK.V INTO T1IE THAI *
laid for thorn by sham anti-monopc
Hats , and are now voting for cand
dates who are not ono whit sounder o
the main issue than Joe Ml
lard. Had these me i com
to the front at the beginning an
cait their votes for nn avowed 01
and ont antl-monopoliit of republics
antecedents like General Oonnoi
Captain Stickle or oven Orounae , the
would command rcspjct , and ml'.jli
by this time have forcsd an election i
It is not too lite yet , however , unlei
thesa men abandon their individn ;
choiceby tying themselves down , to >
caucus candidate whoever that migl

Thu ultuation summed up b simp !
this ; The five leading republican !
Millard , Thayar , Siundora , Ojwi
and Mandoraon mustered tit membei
la8tSaturdayrangingfrom8 to 10 voti
1 for each. They all feel hopeful yet i
carrying off the prlza. The leadlr
oafs we willing to stake their fortum
tn a caucus , but thb , flay not bo able
to Induce all tholr followers to pledge
support to the canons nominee. GOD-
demon , who only had eight votes Sat
urday , and the candidates who com
mand ono or two votes , are not dis
posed to take such risks , hence the
prospects of a caucus are not promis
ing.
THE DEMOCRATS ,
after a good deal of wrangling , have
agreed to go into couforoccn
and will probably cut n tolid
vote for ono candidate oa
the next ballot. Their choice will
either bo Senator Charles H. Browner
or Jainea E. Boyd. A majority of
the anti-monopolists will probably
cist their votes for Capt. Stioklo to
morrow. It in polf-ovldout thcra can
banoolocliou before Tuesday or Wed-
nedflay ; possibly tot before Friday or
Saturday. E U.

are three regular dealers here wltl
men who own ( elevators ) property 01

cents per bushels. ] I then asked hir
the question , "Suppose wo build a
elevator , can wo then ship grain ?
He answered , "It will do you no goo
under tha circumstances. " Those ar
the facts and the language used a
nearly as I can remember.

The folloning passengers are un-

supposed to have boon burled in the

A wrecking train has arrived from
Snrnnor.
Further advices from Tehacapl give
as the probable cause of the accident
that when the train stopped the air
brakes wore applied , On detaching
the engine the brakes relaxed and the
hand brakes were either left open 01
wore not strong enough to hold the
train. The movement may have baen
helped by a strong gale blowing. II
is now certain that eighteen paaaongort
and two sleeping oar porters were
killed and ton or twelve badly injured ,
Seventeen bodies have boon removed
from the wreck. One of them is con
sidered certainly to bo Mrs. Downey
Capt. Watorhouso , previously reported
