1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TH JRSDAY , OCTOBER 18 , 1888. MAYER FACES HIS ACCUSERS And Repudiates the Charge of Un- frlondllnosa to Labor. VIGOROUS SPEECH ATCREIGHTON ttlio Triiu Inwnrtlncs * of III * Aotlon In Binning the Convict Imbor Hill Ills Aotlon on Pinkerton - ton 31 en. TlioOovernor'd Hprruli. Following Is the substnnco of Governor Thaycr'.s ' address nt Crclghton , Neb. , on Monday , thu 15th. He took up first the CONVICT iuiou 1111.1. . "The fuel thnt I signed thu bill extending the provisions of what U known as the prison convict labor bill has been used to convey the Impression that I atn unfriendly to the labor- ( ! DK interests , "Nothing can be moro unfounded than that , Every sentiment and sympathy of my heart Is with the laborer. I have always been on the side of these -who toll. I commenced lift ) by going out to work on a farm for (7 a month. From that day to this * I huvo sus tained and advocated the cause of the wage- workers , and I never would do an act that would impair their right * or their welfare in the smallest degree. No ono has n higher appreciation of the dignity of labor , orvho will go farther to promote the welfare of these who are engaged In dally toil than myself. "On the subject of convict labor there is a vast nuiount of demagoguery. Convict la bor is unpopular , nnd certain unprincipled men who never did an honest day's labor In their lives , have seized upon the term to create prejudice nnd misrepresentation. No honest motives have prompted them ; they rare nothing for the laboring man. Some of these In Omaha , who have harped most on this subject , anil have made the loudest pro testation of friendship for the working man , were together , not long ago , und were passIng - Ing the joke among themselves as to how successfully they had fooled the Knights of Labor , us they supposed. "That the convicts In the penitentiary must labor , is a well settled proposition. It is dictated by every human sentiment ; It Is dictated by the soundest pnneirfe.s | of moral- Ity. The best Interests of the sUto and the ronvlrts require it. Ifthoyaro to bo kept in their cells year after year , the state might us well atonco pUce an asylum alongside the penitentiary. Those vlows ate sustained by the evidence of all those who have had any fcxporlciicc with penitentiaries In our eastern plates. "Whether the state conducts and controls the labor of convicts , or litres out that labot to a contractor , is immaterial , so far as any effect it produces in the way of compotltlon \vlUitlioluboroffrco men. 1 asset t with out successful contradiction , that the labor of prisoners in the Nebraska penitentiary does not , under this law , compute with the labor of those outside that Institution In this state , ri'ho number of convicts engaged lit produc tive labor at the prison is so small that the supposed competition between them and the largo number of these engaged In free laborIng - Ing pursuits is too iiisigiillloant to mention. ' .The average number of convicts who lire en gaged in productive labor at the prison is 205 , whoso labor Is omml to 123 free men , whllo them uru " 0,755 free men in this state ; or the convict labor of our penitentiary is about three-eights of 1 per cent as agalnsif ice labor Of thu state. 'If convict labor competes with anybody it U with thu lurgo manufactories. To Illus trate..Somo : three or four years back 2XK , ( ) corn-Hhellurs were made by our convicts and were sold to the farmers of the state nt $7 apiece. Our eastern manufactories had been making these same implements corn shell- crsand sending them out to Nebraska to bo Bold to our farmers at $10 npiccu , nnd these farmers received the benefit of the reduction anil yut the manufacturers of the did not re duce the price of free labor. The Studeba- bor llrothcrs , the great manufacturers of wagons ; the K.iclno manufacturers of the Molinc plow works , ami others engaged in making agricultural implements , are mem bers of an antl convict labor bill. They frankly admitted that the labor of the con victs had compelled them to reduoo the prices of the articles they made , vvhilo ut the Hume time the wages of their laborers hud not been reduced. The contract labor bill , which received my signature , was submitted to the Knights of Labor for their consideration , and It wns amended In several respects at their suggubtions , amendments prohibiting convicts from making certain articles ; it prohibits their working on stone , except when the statu ii to use it ; prohibits their making cigars. When the bill , after its passage through both houses , was presented to me , I was informed by a committee ol Knights ot Labor that the bill had been inadu In Its then present form acceptable to them. They made no objections to its pass ftge. I noticed that u number of Knights of Labor , Including three of the Douglas dele gation , two of them democrats , voted for the tilll This fact continued the Information which had been convoyed to mo , that the 1)111 ) wns satisfactory to them. "Thoro are \ members \ of the two houses ; 104 voted for the bill and nineteen against It : the balance were absent or not voting Thlity-two democratic members of the two houses voted for John A. McShano for United States senator ; twenty-live of these democrats voted for tlio passage of the prison contract labor bill. "Messrs ( Miller in the housoand Caspar in the senate , both democrats , were strong ad vocates" of the measure. The same Mr Miller was thu president of the late state democratic convention. It will thus bo scon that thrco-fourtha of the democratic mem bers of the legislature supported the bill , which fact shows that it was not a part : measure. It will bo observed that four-tlfths of thu two houses voted for the passage o ! the billi showing that it could easily bo passei over u veto ; for only tbroo-tlfths are neces sary for thnt purpose. Kighty votes wouli bavo passed It over my veto , leaving twenty four moro than would have been uccessao to override my objections. These who have condemned the passage of the bill have luu nothing to say about the legislature In this connection , but have centered tholr dcnun ClatioiiB upon mo alone. U thus disclose ! their insincerity , tholr hypocrioy nnd diahon csty of purpose. "As to signing the bill hastily , I take occa slon to denounce the statement o-s withou the slightest foundation. On the 11th of February ruary the bill was delivered from the sonuti to the house : on the 15th of the same montl It was road the first time and referred on the 17th rofencd back to the committee that it'do pass ; ' on the 25th , in committee of the whole , reported for passage ; Mnrcl 1 , read and passed. During all that time thorp was abundant opportunity for any op posed to the bill to make known their o'bjec tlons. "Souio eight or nine days before the bil did pass , n member of the house called upoi mo und stated that a largo number of remon strances were to bo presented to mo against my approval of the bill , 1 replied : 'Let them bring thorn forward at once ; let thu delegations come to mo now , if they desire to , w.lthout waiting for the bill to pass the senate , ' stating also that business was crowd ing upon me , for it was in the closing days of the session , and I did not want them to wait till the last moment. I could Jiear thorn Just as well before the passage of the bill as afterwards. I urged that they send In their remonstrances , or that their delegations cotno to mo forth with , The legislature had boon in session then nearly two months , and It was not then Itnown that it would continue beyond the limit of forty days , mils were piling up fast and I forsaw that I would have no time to give any moro consideration to that measure , for I hail examined it whllo It was jicndlng In both houses. 1 nlso asked the gentlemen who culled on me , why the remonstrants did not appear before the committee of the Benato to defeat the bill there , why they did not try to defeat Its passage instead of wait ing until the last moment and oak for a vto. . From that time on not a rumoustranco ap peared down to the passage of the bill through the senate ; not a letter was written to mo ; not a protest was received from any point , except ono containing thirty-thrco names from a town towards the borders of Kansas ; Courtlnnd , I think it was. Not H word , even written or verbal , from any ono in Omaha or Lincoln , ngnlnst the bill , al though these in Omaha who were reported to be against It were within two hours' riao of this ofllco. I retained the bill ono day after It was delivered to mo before I signed It. From the fact that I heard nothing from anybody after the Interview with the gtntlo- man referred to , with the exception of the remonstrance named and having In mind the assurance given me in behalf of the Knights of Labor to the effect thnt the bill was then unobjectionable , I had became thoroughly convinced that these who had intended to op pose my sighing the bill had abandoned the idea of it. "An additional reason which Induced mete to approve the penitentiary contract bill was this. If the present penitentiary contract system wa abrogated , the whole business of purchasing the supplies required for sustain ing and running the penitentiary must neces sarily bo purchased by the ofllccrs of the prison or agents of the state , or then the board of public lands and buildings , which board Is already overwhelmed with Its varied duties and labors , which would render It 1m jwssiblo for It to look carefully after all the details of this additional burden. " "Throwing the purchasoof the vast amount of supplies necessary to that institution upon Individuals , there would bo open a wide fluid for temptation nnd cupidity , aye , the widest sphere for speculation , cheating and fraud , Such has been the experience In other states , where they have made the purchase for their own prisons. The convicts must labor , and If the contract system is set aside the state must work them ; it must purchase all the machinery for that purpose , ana hero i ft another field open for cheating the state. If 1 had desired to form a ring , and through it make money. I would have vetoed the prison bill , and then take the chances for gain In the way I have described ; but I was determined to prevent any such opportuni ties for anyone. "Under the present contract , which was extended , the state does not purchase a dollars lars worth for the prison. The present con tractor must supply everything for its main tenance. The feeding of the convicts , heatIng - Ing and lighting , nnd the support ana pay of ovcry officer and guard around the prison. 1 have investigated the whole subject thor oughly , and in my Judgment , the present ono is thP least expensive OB < ' that can bo adopted. THKI'INKKliro.V MKV. "The charge has boon made that I failed to do my duty because I did not put the Pinkerton - ton men out of the state. The absurdity of this charge will bo apparent to every man not a demagogue , who considers this matter in the light of tcason and facts. "Tho nrst intimation I had of the Pinkerton - ton men they were already In the state. They have been spoken of as military in vaders , and t was called upon by a certain editor to order the national guards nnd put thorn out of the state. A gentleman said in u public speech 'why don't the governor pitch thani over into the Missouri river. ' What a sublime spectacle that would have been the the governor , with fork in hand , taking these men by force down to the river and pitching them into it , for thustroam is pretty wide and it is quite probable they would have fallen short of the bank and landed in the river ! "The bringing of those men into the state wns ns obnoxious to mo as it was to others , and I so expressed myself to the railroad company. I did not undertake to put thorn out by force , for tlioro is no authority of law for my doing so. I did not glvo any orders to that effect , for I am not in the habit of giving an order when I have no power to en- rco it. Suppose I had directed a sheriff to alto these men over the river , do you sup- > ese ho would have executed it ! Ho is under icavy bonds , faithfully to perform his duty according to law. If a governor should order i sheriff to shoot a man , I think he would bu /cry apt to nsk the governor for his authority or issuing suoh an order. "Tho constitution names the only condition vhen the governor shall employ the militia f the state. "Section 14 , Article 5 , constitution of the state of Nebraska provides ns follows : "Tho governor shall bo comumnder-in- chief of thu military and naval forces of the state ( except when they shall bo called into service of the United States ) , and may call iut the same to execute the law , suppress nssurroction und rebel invasion. "Section 23 , chapter fit ! of the compiled .tatutcs . , provides as follows : "Tho No- iraska national guards , heretofore men- ionod , shall bo liable at all times to be called into active service , and shall be lir.st called out by the commandor-In-chiof on all occasions for military services within the state in time of war , Invasion , riot , rebel- ion , or reasonable apprehension thereof. The above are the only provisions which authorize the governor to call intonctlvo service - vice the national guard of the stato. There was no riot , there was no rebellion , and there was no invasion of the state such as is contemplated by the constitution , which noans an invasion by an armed military orce. No ono has over contended thnt there mis an Insurrection , riot , rebellion or inva sion. No ono over made a report to mo , no ono ever complained to mo of the ? InKcrton men , either by letter or in person , lor asked mo to remove them ; but some complained through the newspapers. ' , Ou their arrival in the stale some of the Pinkerton men , and possibly all , were sworn n as special policemen. This was done by , he mayor of Plattstnouth. I have been in formed that the sheriff of Douglas county made some of thorn deputy sheriffs. "If any citizen had reason to believe that Miner of them was exorcising authority for- Dldden by the statutes , it was bis duty at oneo to enter a complaint before n magis trate and have the case brought into court , where the question could bo tested. It. was the duty of such citizens to take this step. [ t wns not my duty to go into different xmntios to ascertain whether any citizen : ind made necessary complaint or not. When such a complaint wns made it was the duty of the county attorney to prosecute the case. And yet not ono of thesn men who were so much exorcised over this matter liave entered tt complaint In order to bring the Pinkerton men to punishment , if they were acting In violation of law , liut that was not their purpose. They well know there was no riot , no rebellion , no insurrec tion , no mob. They well knew that the cov- crnor had nothing to do with thu Initiations of prosecutions. They well know that it was the duty of the aggrieved parties to enter n complaint , and that it was the duty of the prosecuting attorney , nnd that ho was the proper person to conduct the prosecution , Hut that course would not answer their pur- iwsc of creating excitement aud inflaming thu prejudices and passions of men. ' 'It is my duty to 'take ' care , " in the Ian- ago of the constitution , 'that the laws bo faithfully executed.1 I do not propose to make myself a law-breaker.

The Lombard Investment compiny joined David and Clementina McCurdy in a suit to recover the sum of $1,500 before - fore the district court of Lancaster county. Joseph II. Webster and C. L. Hall are also made defendants in the action. The suit ib brought upon a realty mortgage , the owners proper having failed to comply with its condi tions. It is alleged by the plaintiffs that since the debt was contracted with them two additional mortgages have been written upon iho promises , thus cov ering the property with more dollars than it ib worth , and that the first install ment of interest lias not boon paid , amounting to $ IU.60. Feeling insecure the plain tills seek to foreclose the mort gage and possess themselves of the prop erty , or secure the prompt payment of of the sum claimed and the cost of the suit. Webster holds a mortgage on the property for 81,500 and Hull for $500. The whole sum has been negotiated since the first day of last March. THE CATIIOMC KAMI. The pro-cathedral fair is now in full blast at Bphanan's hall. It will close Saturday night. The attendance from night to night is largo and the attrac tions are inviting. The event of the week , however , will take place Friday night , when the voting commences for the gold-headed cane which is to bo presented to the most popular candidate for congress from the First congres sional district. This means , of course , the most popular from the dollars and cents standpoint. The cano is a mag nificent one , but the party that wins will probably pay dear for the whistlo. The following committee will register the votes for the cane : Mayor Sawyer , E. P. Hogtren , A. Holler , .1. C. McBride and John McMohnn. It is only neces sary to add that the voting for the cano will also conclude on the closing night of the fair. rOMTIC'AL I'OI.VTKUS. "Tho republicans of Nebraska , " re marked C. p.
