Involved in Bedell's mortgage forgeries. The

drew their checks to the alleged mortgagers
thereon. To these checks Bedell forged the

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. |

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.

IDE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE

How J. Starling Morton's Candi
dacy is Considered.
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.

"Tho announcement of the proposed forma
tion of the syndicate of the steel-rail makers
of this country and the continent for the

Jlrst importance. The establishment of this
syndicate is at once an assurance that ouo

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

Concerning this matter , an official of Car-

Ho said It would bo n benefit to American

caused hi sportlug circles by the atinounco-
ment that the $ .1,000 forfeit deposited in
Franco by the backer of Kllralu had. been
covered yesterday on behalf of nn American
pugilist whoso name was not given. The in

cabled to the stake-holder In Paris the follow
ing message :
Our Paris bankers will deposit f\000 with
you to cover ICllraln's stake to moofr an un
known under London prlzo ring rules.

however , Intimated thnt the unknown Is Pat

listen to any proposal on account of ICillen's
stipulation that Quccnsbiiry rules .should
govern. Now It Is sild : Killen , determined to
get up a match , has agreed to fight with bare
knuckles according to the old style , ami that
the deposit referred to was In his behalf.
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 -
