ITS METHODS OF PROCEDURE Men of All Political Faltlis Combine Aenlnst the Tillies and "col ors General JIoyoy'B Iluturn. A Fair Kloctlon League. , Sept. 23. The dny with General Harrison was one of quiet. He passed the time In his library , nt work. To- mortow ho will receive delegations from Cleveland , O. , Chicago and La S.ille. 111. It Is probable that there will bo two public re ceptions. A matter of the highest political Import leaked out hero to-day. It is nothing more than the existence of a great secret league known as the "Indiana fair election leatrue , " whoso membership comprises men of all shades of political connection. For the past two months the projectors of the league have been quietly perfecting its organization in every county in the state. The solo object of the league , as It Is now understood , Is to prevent the casting of fraudulent and illegal votes. So far as known , its existence is not attributable to anyone on the part of either the democratic or repub lican state committees. Full ana reliable particulars touching the membership uud organization of the league are withheld by those known to possess them. It seems that its members are not to bo known in their respective localities unless occasion arises to cause an arrest or prosecute an illegal voter , in which event two or more members of the local executive committee will bo put forth publicly us members of the league to conduct thoTJsecution. | General A. P. Hovey boa returned from Washington and ro-cutcred the state canvass. Ho has been detailed by his state committee , together with Corporal Tanner , of New York , to moot Blalno nt Goshcn October 10 , and accompany him on his canvass through Indiana. Chairman Huston to-day received the fol lowing telegram : BOSTON , Sopt. 23. It is stated in the east ern mpors that you have arranged to have mo speak at railway stations between my ap pointments. I hope this is not true. If it is , my speaking In Indiana will last Just ono day. My throat will not stand it nt nil. JAMES (1. BI.AIKK. The committee replied to this , stating that it was not expected that Blaiue would speak Isewhcro than nt the appointed meetings. Governor Hill will bo met nt Mitchell on October 13 by Governor Gray and a number f other distinguished democrats , who will ccotnpany him on his canvass.

EJECTION FHAUDS AT 'FRISCO. Ward liummcrn Attempt to Bulldoze Republican Voters. FHVNCISCO , Sept. 23. The conditions f the three men who were wounded in the nclco nt the room of the republican county lommittco last night are favorable for recov- ry this evening , with the exception of An- , ono Christensen. The cause of the fracas Is asyot not fully known , different theories eing given by members of different political artics. There was , however , during yestor- lay afternoon and last night , u seemingly irganized effort by factious of the lowest 3lasscs of the city , styling themselves iude- icndcnt voters , to gain control of the ballot : > exes und tear up or burn the ballots that were cast nt the republican primaries. Sov- iral of the most determined and blopdy iccnes wcro enacted , but no lives were lost. n some districts the scenes of violence ex- 'ceded in their ruflinnly character anything if the land ever before seen in San Fran cisco. An AildrCHS to Colored Voters. NEW YOUK , Sept. 23. [ Special Telegram , o THE BEB.I Fred Douglas , Robert Smalls , John U. Lynch , and n half-dozen other col ored republicans , have issued n Ion ? nddross .o the negro voters of the union , more ospcc- ally to those in the doubtful states , warning .hem of the treason and sulcldo committed by any man of African descent who-votes the democratic ticket. Hero are u few extracts : No class of citizens have n deeper interest nt stake or a moro solemn 'responsibility resting on thorn in choosing between these parties than the colored people in the doubt- lul states , for it may involve not only the loss of the elective franchise , but the loss of citizenship itself. This democratic movement among the col ored men has bud more than four years' growth and should have by this time formed some fruit. Can tiny of its advocates show that murder and rapine in the south have diminished ! Can any ono of them show that there is less re pugnance to negro suffrage in that section ) Has any democrat bocoma loss vehement in denunciation of negro rule ! Have lynch law , midnight raids , wholesale massacres in Louisiana , Arkansas , Mississippi , South Carolina und Alabama ceased ! Has any democrat on the floor of the senate or the house of representatives made a motion to inquire into southern lawlessness and violence lence ) Oh ! colored Bicn , bo "not deceived. Is it not plain that every colored man who votes on that side stabs the cause of his people and makes himself , consciously or un consciously , u traitor and an enemy to his race ! Again wo Implore vou to remember that the whole question of the future of the negro In the south is Involved m the election now before you. Maryland's New Klcctlon Law. WASHINGTONSept. . 23. [ Special to THE BEB.J It will bo recalled that there was a vigorous camnaign in Maryland a year ago in which the independents of the sta o com bined with the republicans for the pur | > ese of securing a numuor of election reforms , and for ridding the state of the ring rule which has cursed it since the Gorman element gained control. It was believed at the time that the reform element would bb able to elect Us state ticket , as well as a majority of the legislature , and there was very llttlo doubt that this was done ; but the same methodsof counting which had boon In vogue so long still prevailed , and the ring main tained its grasp upon the throat of thu stato. Still more was accomplished than appeared on the face of the election returns. The de termination of the opponents of Mr. Gorman wcro so emphatic that the. ringstcrs became alarmed , and when the legislature met they were forced to bow to public sentiment in part , nt least , and the result is that the state of Maryland has to-dav what It never had before something like a respectable election law. Supervisors of election have been pro vided for , which insure the appointment of a non-partisan board of election ofilccrs in every voting precinct of the stato. There has always been a representative of the minority party on these boards , but un der the old method the appointments were made by the majority party , and the minor ity had nothing whatever to say. Hence , their alleged representatives were selected from men in whom no ono bad any faith. Frequently the republican election oftlcors wcro either blind men or so aged and de crepit that they wore absolutely useless. In the present election , however , there will bo real republicans at every polling place. Not only will the republicans themselves see to It that they are properly represented , but the reform association will aid them in their ef forts to secure a fair ballot and honest count. While it not believed that there is the faint est shadow of possibility that Maryland can bo recovered from the democratic ranks , still there is reason to hope that under the now regime purer politics will prevail thero. and , perhaps , a congressional district may bo cap- lured from the enemy. In any event , there Is a much better feeling among all the re spectable people of the state over the out look than there has been any time In the past , at least since the itute passed into the control of the Ran * of political cut-throats , ballot box staffer * and heelers who have debauched public sontlmentiOV9rthrown the will of' the people , and 'prostituted the ballot to their own ends for rmmv years.

OPINIONS OF SOME OMAHA MEN. ? lto FcclliiR Among Republicans Km- Incntly Hut Is factory nnd n IlniiHlng Majority For Council the Gen eral Verdict. Morton's Candidacy. The following are sententious views ox- ircssed In this city on the nomination of J. itcrling Morton us candidate for congress on lie democratic ticket : Inspector Michael Donovan Well , 1 have Iwuys voted the democratic ticket , but do tot think much of the nomination. Morton vlll bo swamped In this county , nnd that ells the tnlo. Ho Is a good speaker and In nnny respects n smart man , and what ability 10 has , ho has used against the Interests of Douglas county , llu is aristocratic , dlctato- inl and nil extreme free trader , and on these grounds will lose not only a large proportion f the laboring vote , but of u great portion if his own party , who are moderate in their lews on this question. Ho IH n member of ho Cobden club , which also will hurt him , it will his own and his son's relations with he Hurlltmton road. Council will got n nm- orlty of y,000 in this county , and I cannot say bat I am sorry. Internal Hevenuo Collector Calhoun The lominatlon of J. Sterling Morton I consider he strongest and best thnt could have been mule under the circumstances. Ho is ccr- utnly an extremist on the question of ftx u radc , which I , personally , do not llko , but ils own personal popularity may possibly jarry the people with him to any length. L'hese factional troubles do not amount to nuoh In the election. They nro evident only n preliminary skirmishing and wire-pulling , lo will make a strong race stronger I think linn any onu who could have been put up. You see ( confidentially ) it N not an easy matter to find any ono willing to accept such a nomination. Sidewalk Inspector Alleii-Conncll will carry , his county by over a thousand major- ty. Morton's nomination is the greatest lift 10 could have received. Everyone knows VIorton , which is a good thing for the ropub- Icans. Ho Is a rabid frco trader , n member of the Cobden club , an English sympathizer , t lobbyist In the interests of the scab rail- oad , und If that don't defeat him I am ready to vote the prohibition ticket. Boiler Inspector Stondovon Ho is a good nan , of immense personal popularity , stands veil with the laboring classes uud will poll ils full party vote. J. E. Smith Morton Is as able a man as .hoy could nave nominated , but I don't be- iovo he'll got the solid support of his party. Michael Maul Connull will defeat him in Douglas county by from 5,000 to 0,000 ma- orit.v. Jolt Bedford I'm a democrat , though I've lover been a Morton man , but I "think ho can go in with the nicest majority. John Sahler His nomination is the worst hat could have been made. He is nn old vhenl-horso who has now been turned out to pasture. Euclid Martin I'd rather vote for a man of his intelligence and bo defeated than for a nobody nnd have him elected. A , E. Coggoshnl Ho couldn't ' get there in n four-minuto pace. Chas. Conoyer It's going to bo a close Ight. You can't tell where the assistance is , o corno from abroad. William Neville , Plattsmouth Nebraska couldn't send a better man to congress. You people up hero don't know how the farmers stand on free trade. George Barker Mr. Morton is undoubt edly a man of eminent ability , and entitled .0 credit for the maintenance of his extreme > pinions , although they may not be popular n this country. I don't agree with him my self ; I'm no free-trader. I doubt Morton's ability to neil anything like a McShano veto. Marshal Bicrbower I understand that ho is one of the few Americans who belong to the odious London Cobden club , and I sup- lese is qualified to preach its principles ihrough the First district , but whether they will meet the views of the voters will bo fully exemplified In November. Ho stands no show on earth. W. S. Strawn I think Morton is too prominent a democrat nnd too closely identl- llcd with the failures und rrror.s of that party In this state to succeed against any man standing on the broad principles of the re publican party. Henry W. Yntes How do I llko him ? who is ho , has ho been nominated I Yoi ] Then , I suppose , I am in a measure responsi ble for hia nomination , for over a week atra I went to Charlie Brown , Popplcton , Mc Shane ct al , and said that it would probably bo the best thing that could bo done. Mor ton Is a man of extraordinary capacity , and I am much pleased to learn of his nomination. Ho is a brainy man , and would rollect. credit upon the state of Nebraska if ho should hap pen to bo elected. Louis Heed Morton 1ms been a candidate so long it has become quite a chestnut. How ever , ho Is a man of ability , but ho can't come anvwhero near boating Connell. W H. Hughes Ho suits mo exactly. I always liked him , and I think ho is one of the bent Btump orators in the stato. His election is a different thing. Charles Ogdcn I admire him exceedingly. Ho is a very able man , and pronounced In his ouinlons , and should poll the full strength of his party. I think all factional feeling should bo cast nstdo after a man has been fairly nominated in a convention of his party , and I think most of the democracy will bo found in line on election dny , S. P. Morse First class. I think the beautiful snow will cover him that Is , ho will bo beautifully snowed under. His free tnu'o ' prcdllictlons will bury him. Connell Is an nblo fellow and will bo elected by a largo majority. JudgoP. O. Hawcs Why , I think Mr. Conuell should Invite the democratic dele gates who nominated J. Sterling Morton to a champagne spread , as they have , by thU ac tion , made his election more than certain. They have saved him about fo.OUO that ho will not now bo compelled to distribute among the democracy. Mr. Morton's well known frco trade ideas nnd his isolation from many of thu democratic leaders of this state , makes him a very weak candidate. Pat Ford Everybody knows thnt I am not in Iovo with Morton , and as n choice between two evils , I know not which to take. W. J. Connell I am not personally ac quainted with Mr. Morton. 1 understand that ho is a very able and intelligent man. I am not in a position to say much for him and do not desire to nay anything against him. Ho makes a mistake , however , at the outset in raiding me as a railroad attorney. The fact is that I never represented a rail road company , and while I believe railroads havodono much toward building up our state and ougnt to bo encouraged and fos tered to a rcasouablo extent , yet I believe in maintaining the rights of the people , and In all my fights I have been on the side of the individual as against the railroads and other corporations. I think he has made a mis take as reported In the Herald In styling mo a railroad attorney. A ItAITj TRUST. A Combine of American nnd European IHamil'iKiturorn. I'lTTsnuno , Sopt. 2S. Information has reached hero of the formation of nn interna tional rail pool. The combine was consum mated at Glasgow and the continent. Carne gie , who was present , promised co-operation on the part of the American combine in the endeavor to advance and maintain prices. The combine was consummated at Glas. gow , and includes England and the conti nent. Andrew Carnegie , who was present , promised co-operation on the part of the American combine in an endeavor to advance and maintain prices. The English Labor Tribune of the 15th inst. , which is authority for this , says : "Tho announcement of the proposed forma tion of the syndicate of the steel-rail makers of this country and the continent for the regulation of orders and prices is n matter of Jlrst importance. The establishment of this syndicate is at once an assurance that ouo great branch of British industry , is now , after a period of great depression , to occupy a better position. Belgium , Germany and Franco nro united with our own railmnkers to prevent the contlnu- anco of the unnaturally low prices which have so long prevailed , and the new syndi cate Is promised an exUtoncc of five years. Andrew Carnegie , one of the most promlnonl of American rail producers , has promised that the American manufacturers' asuocU- "ifr < &JT'i' Ion wilt do ( Svcrythlng In IU power to assist bo ayndfcato In Improving the trade. " Concerning this matter , an official of Car- ncgio , Phlppa , fc Co. was hero and said that hey have received no information from Mr. Jnrncglo about thu international combine. Ho said It would bo n benefit to American manufacturers to have iiriccs advanced abroad , as competition would be less bitter nnd the market would stiffen in this country. TIllS YISMiOW FKVI3U.

Another authority who was soon by n reporter - porter insi.teiUlmt thu mimoy deposited was on behalf of Jack Dempsey , while still an other was positive that the cash Is up on behalf - half of Dominlck McCaffrey.
