THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. SEVENTEENTH YEAE. OMAHA , THURSDAY MORNING , OCTOBER 27 , ISST. NUMBER 131 FORCED UNDER BY FRAUD , Gorman end His Gang Defeat the Reform Ticket BALTIMORE VOTERS BULLDOZED. One Hundred Thoumiml Dollars Dis tributed Among Democratic Strikers Ballot * From the Demi One Murder. noodle Cnrrlci * Baltimore. BAI.TIMOUH , Oct. 20. [ Special Telegram to tlio BKE. ] The city election here to-diiy was an exceedingly quiet nffnlr for Baltimore , Up to the hour of writing the only disunity retorted Is from the Seventeenth ward. Here , Just as tlio ix > lls were nbout to close , several independents attempted to vote. A gang of "regulars" attempted to prevent them from doing so mid made n rush upon them. One of the rushers Is dead In cense quence. Your correspondent visited more than half the polling places during the day. There \vui little excitement at any of them , but everywhere It was apparent that the "peelers" of tlio gang had received their in structions and were ready to carry them out. There were no open outbreaks , but the ne groes were Jostled and crowded to such an extent that many of them refused to risk personal violence and declined to vote at all. The poll lists had been prepared with great care by Gorman's men , and when Uartlett's supporters offered their ballots. They found that the Initials were changed or that they were dis franchised because their names had been mis-spelled , the entire election machinery has been In the hands of the ring and as every registry list is copied by the henchmen of Hlgglns.KalsIn et nl , it was an easy matter to make mistakes which deprives the inde pendents and republicans of their votes. The apparent result Is that Latrobc , the regular democratic nominee forjmayor , is ejected by majority of between 8,500 and r.,000. Whether this majority Is real or not remains to be seen. It Is somewhat , remarkable that the returns are coming in more slowly than ever before. Jt is nearly five hours since the polls closed , yet only about GO IKT cent of the IbO polllng places have sent In their returns. The independent democrats admit that lll > on the faeo of the figures they are beaten at least ! l,000 , but they insist that the returns reported are not the real results of the election. Yet , In spite of this claim , Latrobe will undoubtedly be the next mayor of lialtliiioro. Money without stint has been used and bribery of colored voters bus been open. Every municipal , state and federal of- llco holder In that city has been bled , and It is charged that the custom house and the postonico each contributed $12OM. The In dependent leaders clnlm that not less than $100,000 was used to carry the election , and they propose to light it through still. Mr. William L. Mnrbury , who is ono of the principal men in the ranks of the independent democrats , said to-night : "Wo do not want the court to assume that wo are beaten be cause of the apparent majority for Latrobc. Two years ago Hodges appeared to have 2,200 majority on the night of election. Wo proved afterward that ho was really defeated by at least 8,000. The citizens' reform association has been at work for the purpose of purging the elections of fraud. Wo have many of the scoundrels in the penitentiary , but not all of them. Wo have worked hard to get the registry lists cleansed of the names of dead men , but wo had time to attend to only six of the twenty wards and In those six wo had 1,200 fraudu lent names stricken off. There are probably 4,000 still remaining and these 4,000 , although dead , voted to-day. Wo propose to keep on in the work of reform , even though we have to adopt the Sun Francisco plan and hang a few of the ring leaders of the ring. " Mossra. Cross , Marbury , Cowin , Koso and a dozen others of the reformcis expressed themselves as still determined to carry on the fight , no matter what the result of the election to-day may ultimately prove to bo , They feel certain that Hrooks , the rcpub lican candidate for governor , Is a great deal stronger in the city of Baltimore than Burt- lett , the nomtnco for mayor. This claim is undoubtedly well founded , as the Knights ol Labor have openly denounced Jackson , the regular democratic nominee for governor wnllo they had no quarrel with Latrobe Besides tills. It will bo difllcult to blew the oOlcoholdors BO soon again. Bui the Independents have learned , once more that they have n shrewd , sharp ganj : of practical politicians to compete with. Gor man Is no tyro in political chicanery and hi' Houtcnnnts arc acknowledged to bo mnoiii the most astute "lino workers" in the conn try. Mr. Cowcn and his followers havi hoped to win by moral suasion and clean po lltlcnl methods , while their opponents havi used every ono of the tricks for which the ; are celebrated. The result seems to shov once moro that machine methods nro tin moat effective In great cities , and it ronllj looks to-night us though the plan of "Hang ing o few of the leaders" will have to In pdopted before Baltimore. < ! an bo freed froii the rule of Boss Gorman.

Tory ConipllincntN and Comments on American Intelligence. tCopi/i lyM tSS7luJiitne aonlon liemicM.I LONUOX , Oct. 20. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Bun. ] The Standard , referring to Chamberlain's visit to the United States , thus begins nn editorial : "Tho Irish In America are evidently greatly alarmed at the prospects of people of the United States being enlightened as to the true state of affairs In Ireland by Mr. Cham berlain. No Inconsiderable portion of the press of the United States appears wholly Ignorant as to the facts In the case as seen from the English point of view. Their con ductors appear never open to reputable Eng lish Journals , but draw their opinions and views wholly from papers like the Irish World and the platform speeches of the Irish orators. " Tills is intended to bo sarcastic on the Herald , but It is reserved for the Dublin Express , the organ of the Orangemen and landlords to have the Herald move it to Donnybrook fair rhetoric , thus : "That not very respect able organ of Now York opinion , the Herald , has been preparing us for a break-off by warning Mr. Chamberlain of the cluiravnri which the Irish population intcnd.to wel come him with on hit arrival. This is a dis courtesy which Is unique. They warn Lord Salisbury that if ho wishes the fishery ar rangements to bo broken off ho will per sist in his plan of sending us a diplomatist a personn ingratuislmi : to the Irish. This is u fresh intrusion of mob law Into international disputes. Hitherto the mob has limited Itself to municipal matters in dispute be tween the masses and classes , but now wo are to bo treated to a new departure , and the races which mix and niinglo in the United States are to retain their old race rancors. If this were to go on and cxtendtho Bohemian and German , Crotlan and Hungarian , would clamor each to reflect in the several embassies of the United States some of the rivalries which they have left behind , but which linger on in Germany or Austria. Let us hope that the Herald is unique in its construction of the meaning of Mr. Chamberlain's mission , and that wo shall not be plagued with impertin ences of this kind when a conservative premier goes into the liberal ranks to llnd a commissioner , who is willing to sink party considerations in order to servo his country. But , dismissing the impertinences of the Herald , it is useless to shut our eyes to the bitter truth that our colonial policy of the last thirty years , which is only the outcome of our free trade policy of the same date , is the true source of all our troubles in Canada and elsewhere. " And then the Exprcsswith utter disregard of the unities of the subject matter , passes from the fisheries to free trade , and contends that the British colonies vex the mother country with their protection duties. HI. Wll.SOX FALLS. He Meets His Electors and Is De nounced. [ Copi/r/uM / tSStliu James Gonlim Hcnndt. ] Torus , Oct. 25. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Ben. ] The grand jour pas arrives.

When Wilson then mounts a little ladder to the raised platform ho passes a nervous hand quickly through his long beard , and oven tears out the hairs with wild clutches. "Citizens , " says Wilson , "I thank you for listening. " Profound silence ensues and Wilson continues : "Ills always painful for an honest man " ( hero shouts and jeers interrupted the sjxcch ! ) . Continues Wilson , audaciously , and in a high voice : "It est penihlo pour un lioneto hommo. " The tumult hero interrupted the speech ; cries of "asscz , " nsscz , " reecho on all sides. The cries answer the accusation. "You swindler , wo don't eomo hero to listen to poetry. " Hero most infernal shouting and yelling put an end to all order for half an hour , ut the end of which the president managed to make himself hoard. Ho shrieked : "This assembly , after having heard M. Wilson , declares that ho is a traitor and has betrayed his trust , and has nothing to do but resign. Ho is no longer worthy to rogresent Towralne. " Wilson replies. "I am not before my Judges. " M. Ernest Roche rises nnd shouts , "You wretch , you nro before your electors. " It was voted ut once that all accusations wcro well founded. WilsVm gathers up his papers in nervous haste and walks nwuy. umids shouts of "demission , " "demission.

His own studies nnd reflections came to reinforce this natural bias , and the moment ho touched the question of slavery he became a disciple of that truth which elected n president in 1800 nnd which soon set the slave-i free and made each state In the union n pet feet republic. Hero in this coflin lies un unbroken friendship which reached from Henry Cluy to Lincoln und Grunt , ut nil times giving and receiving that inspira tion which comes from the help of kindred minds. The tomb only can separate such men. Their hearts are not bound by passion. but by similar great thoughts and great duties.

[ SpecialTelegram to the HEK. ] Sir Thomas Oral tan Esmondc , or plain ' 'Mr. Esmoudo , " as ho Insists upon bslng called , representing the Irish national party , talked freely to-day about Irish af fairs and the result obtained thus far from the American trip which ho and Arthur O'Connor ' , M. P. , are taking for the benefit of the Irish people. "The American people nro taking great Interest In the cause which wo " said South Dublin's represent , representa tive , "and our meetings have been well at tended wherever held. In fact , crowds have been oftentimes turned nwuy. Wo ore here to secure the sinews of war in our light with n despotic form of government , and , to judge from the results obtained up to the present time , wo nro certainly succeeding. The money wo secure from our meetings is to bo used In defraying the expenses attendant upon securing the right of voting to every nationalist who Is a legal voter. Every year there Is what Is called a revision of votes , and at such times the judges , who nro all lo ries , take It upon themselves , through petty technicalities , to make these votes illegal and substitute tor.v votes. To light these cases wo spent 11,000 last year In employing inspectors and defray ing other expenses. In Ulster tory bulldoz ing wns so widespread that the nationalists wore compelled to URO i'40,000 in order to se cure proper registration , BO you can see what opjxisltlon wo have to contend with. The stories of the cruelty of landlords in evict ing tenants , which are printed , nro not a jot overdrawn In fact , you do not hear of half the outrages practiced upon the people. The constabulary , who remove the tenants , are selected for their brutality , and are removed if they show the slightest sympathy with the people. They look u ] > on themselves ns little gods. The lories are now negotiating for a large force of Orangemen from the north of Ireland to net as ] x > lice agents , and should they curry out their plans the police will cer tainly do something desperate. I think Gladstone will be ut the * head of the government once moro within n year. The present ministry is mak ing worse blunders , and the mur murs of discontent are louder every day. However , I don't believe the defeat of the present ministry will bo mnda on the Irish question. " Mr. O'Connor said that he was much grat ified at the reception accorded to them in this country. "But , " ho added , in reply to a question , "I really have seen absolutely nothing of the country except from the in side of a railway train. " At 11 o'clock O'Connor and Esmonde , In company with Alexander Sullivan , were driven to the stock yards , where the visitors were given a peep at Armour's paeklug house. This afternoon the distinguished Irishmen left for Milwaukee , where they speak to-morrow. The meeting to bo hold Friday night nt Battery D , and which will "jo addressed by both O'Connor and Es- : noude , will doubtless bo largely attended.

My friends , of course , violently object to my going upon the stage , but I do not heed their objections. Mndum Modjeska , Lawrence Barrett , John T. Kaymond. Robert Downing und Henry Irving have been most kind to mo und while they have set forth the dlfllcultics of their profession , they have all told mo that I possessed dramatic tal ent which would ono day command recognition of the public if I persevered. When I do go upon the stage I shall seek some subordinate position in a llrst class company and work my way up. I would like if jwssiblo to spend a your ut the Paris conservatoire , where I could have the advantage of instructions of Coxuellcn. I rcaliro all of the consequences of the step , I think , and am prepared to ac cept the burden of work that will fall ujmn mo. I may not go upon the stage in this country , but may make my first venture in England , where I have a good many tried friends , us has also my mother , and Irving told mo that whenever I decided to take the step ho would give mq nil the assistance in his power. I have had my experience in a stock company and have learned the business of the profession. I shall bo u tragedienne , making all the range of Shakespeare's fe male characters. I have been very success ful in recitations. Even the most prominent actors and actresses who have heard mo recite have complimented mo on my work and have predicted that I would succeed.

REALLY A VERY PLAIN C1RI , Nina Van Zandt Not So AttraotivQ As Pictured. SHE BEGINS TO RESEMBLE SPIESV Her I/ovo For tlio Anarchist Work * 4 Startling Change The Condemned to Dlo Mko Stoics of Suicide. Nina an She Is. CIIICAOO , Oct. 20. [ S | > cclttl Telegram t < | the BKK. ] Not ono of the swarm of pcoplo who go to In Unite pains to bo admitted to tha Jail cares for anything else so much ns to se Miss Van Zandt and August Spies. Tha newspapers and public gossip have woven such n halo of romance nbout the rather hit significant and melancholy girl , that she nn object of uncommon Interest until she seen. The ladies are always disapiwlntcd. "Why , she Isn't pretty. " "What plain girl she is anyway. " "Humph I" or some such ex pressions is the first thing they utter. Then ; they go to dissecting her toilet , multiplying criticisms , admiring Spies or edging up close , as the mere impertinent ones do , to catch a scrap of the conversation , as Nina hangs on to the iron bars talking to Spies. There la ono remarkable thing to see in Miss Van Zandt , and that is how much she has grown to be like Spies. So far ns manner and bear * lug nro concerned the likeness id almost startling. The same stubborn and contemptuous glance , the fiamd smile a drawing of the facial muscles aug-1 grstivc of cynicism and disdain , and the sama independent carriage of the body. Her con vernation is colored by the socialistic lore which she has taken on since her acquaint * anco with Spies , and she talks In u lecture- " room style of capitalistic oppressions ami conspiracies against thu workingmcn. This forbidding resemblance to Spies Is , however , softened by the pathos of her unfortunate and hopeless love for him. All tlio anarchists seem to IKJ in excellent physical condition except Schwab. There is in him a great weakness and debility. Ho almost totters at times in his walk and he does not walk much during the exercise houru but prefers to sit languidly In a elialr until the Jailor pounds the iron bars ns n signal that the hour is up. An old ex-jailor of Cook county said today ! "These fellows have got no idea of escaping death. They have made up their minds that they have got to die and they are now figuring simply on the way they shall die unit what the result will bo on their fol lowers and on society. Ono thing Is certain , they will emulate the example of the Rus sian nihilist and exhibit , if they can , an in difference to death which will dllfercntiato thorn from all other criminals. If they die on the gallows it will bo according to an agreement among themselves in a thoroughly dramatlo and Frenehy manner , with defiant utterances and ghastly nonchalance. All anarchists - , archists pride themselves on their material istic belief and their consequent contempt for the king of terrors , and it Is down in the pro J gramme of our North Side anarchists that they are to exhibit a coolness which shall freeze the very blood of the monopolists. Butte to tell you the truth , I would not bo at all' surprised if they cheat the gallows by suicido. . There has been no precaution tuken to prevent' this. All that ono of them needs , to do this , is a gum capsule containing u single drop o { prussic acid , which ho can conceal anywhere in his clothes or in his oar or his nose for , that matter. The burning desire of Mrs. , Schwab to embrace and kiss her husband looks to mo very much like n female strutnV gem by which to convoy poison. " There seems to bo an almost universal belief - ' lief hero that tlio supreme court will refuse to interfere. Of course there is no Hulmtan- tial reason for this feeling , yet it is in the air. , An equally indefinable belief is that Gov ernor Oglcsby will grant the anarchists respite and even commute the death sentence of some of them to life imprisonment. ' Fiolden snd Parsons uro believed to bo thosn who nro likely to receive his clemency. At the sheriff's ofllro to-day it was stated tlm $ no preparations whatever had yet been mada for the execution. Should the execution take ) place all the men will bo bunged together. No ono but the ofllcials , press representative and the jury will bo allowed to witness tha hanging. _ Should Ito Taken With Salt. > 1 CHICAGO , Oct. 20. To the forty men nm\ dozen women who attended the meeting of the "Amnesty association" to-night , Presl- dent L. S. Oliver made a remarkably state ment. Ho said ho had been greatly dlsup- pointed at not receiving moro petitions with signatures from states outside of Illinois asking a commutation of sentence for the condemned anarchists. He believed tha only way to account for not receiving them was that they had been tampered with in the United States mail. In many cases in an swer to a request ho hud sent rolls of blank petitions to parties in Wisconsin , PemU sylvnnla and New York two or three times over and still they would write thuttho matter had never been received. Mrs. Holmes , who was an associate editor on tha Arbcitcr Zeitung before the Haymarkot riot , ' jumped up and said she had been threatened with arrest by authorities In the postofllc4 for mailing amnesty petitions. Olive * replied that she could not be arrested , but that those making such throats were liable to arrest and good lawyers had volunteered to prosecute such cases. Oliver also sola that invitations had been sent to over two hundred and fifty ministers , asking tncm to attend the amnesty meetings and cxpics * their opinions , but none hud come and veryf few hud responded even by letter.
