A Matter of Rrcord.
A few ilnys ngo a prominent merchant ,
ivho formerly resided In Missouri , returned
front u visit to UK old homo. In talking
about the incidents of his trip ho remarked !
(
"I was very much alnuscit over u talk I had
with some rampant old ronfcds near Rush-
villo. Ono of them asked whether Isaac S.
Iluscull was still on deck at Omaha , and
when I told lilm that ho was , ho said ;
" 'He's a staunch old douiocr.it , and a man
wo admire. ' "
" ' he's stalwart and
'Why , a republican ,
.has Just been nominated by the republicans
for thu state senate. ' "
' "You're ain't Has-
joking , youl Why , -
call was one of our whcol-horscs. Ho fought
against the tVeesollors , and finally shot ono
of these Llncolnltcs ovorin Kansas. Ho getaway
away across the river , and we hid him down
hero.1 "
This reminiscence of Hascnll as related by
the Omaha merchant wus promptly followed
up by Tim Dim and a rcllablo correspondent
at Atchlson was directed to Interview the old
settlers nt AtchUon and Kushvlllc and report
who the could learn with reference to Ilascull a
life on the Missouri-Kansas border. Follow

I1OHDKK IIUPFIAV I.1WTRK.
ATCIIISOS , ICas.Oct.30. ( .Special to Tun
BEE. ] Judge S. II. Glenn , one of the oldest
settlers In Atchlson , was called on and asked
If he hod ever known Isaac S. Huscall , and
what ho knew of his early reputation , ho
said :
"Icamo hero In 1839. Isaac S. Hascall was
licre then engaged in the law business with
another pro-slavery man by the naino of
Hereford , the style of the firm being Here-
tcd A ; Hascall. Ho win a rabid secessionist ,
tttS loudly boasted that he was a rebel of
the deepest dye. On the sign , hung outside
MH ofllce , wera the words , 'Border Ruffian
Ijawyer. ' The associates he seemed to culti-
Tate were men of that class , the
bushwhackers from Missouri , with whom
he always endeavored to stand in.
Hascall , I believe , came originally from New
York state , and avowed himself as a demo
crat. In ' 01 ho was the democratic candidate
for the mayoralty of Atchlson , and hud for
an opponent Captain George II. Fulrchilds.
About this time n largo number of democrats
from the north came in , who were "freo
Boilers" or nothing. Hascall was universally
despised by all free soil democrats in the vi
cinity , to say nothing of the republican cle
ment , and Hascall was overwhelmingly de
feated by the joined forces. At this time
there was n South Carolina pro-slavery law
linn named Carr & Hcadlcy doing business
hero , who had come out to endeavor to make
Kansas a slave stato. Thcso men Hascall ,
with others of his ilk , including a large mob
of Mlssourians , joined forces with , and ono
day early in ' 01 the loyal Inhabitants armed
themselves , and drove Hascall and his gang
out of the state. Hoscall's property was con
fiscated. The house , a brick structure , still
.ntandson Second street in this city. I be-
llovo though Huscall afterwords got a small
mini of money out of it. Hascall was per-
'sonally ono of the most offensive men I over
met. His legal attainments wore of the "po-
lice court rustler" stamp , and that was about
'all the practice ho had hero. I never heard of
, his shooting anyone in this part of the coun
try ; la fact , ho was too cowardly to do any-
.thing of that sort. I don't think ho did any
actual fighting for the south ; all the fighting
'he cared to do was with his mouth. So he is
a republican now. Well , it only bears out
ny constant opinion of the man. Entirely
Without principle , deceitful , and always
looking out for Hascall first. "
Major Crowd ! , who was nn United
States postofflce inspector in Kansas
and Missouri in carlydays , was seen
and asked if ho had known noscall in 1S59
tuid 1SOO. He replied :
"Yes , I distinctly remember Hascall. We
drove him out of this country at the point of
the revolver. He was a great blowhard in
his views on the slavery question ; a rank
rcbol , and always shouting it. I never heard
Of his shooting anyone dowuhorc ; it might
have occurred back somewhere in the state ,
if ho did so , as I know of everyone who was
killed along the river during those troublous
tlmci. You sco Hascall was hand and
glove with a pretty hard crowd of
rebel sympathizers , and although a
northern democrat , was as rabid as any
pouthcrnor In'tho mob of bushwhackers who
came across the river. So in ' 01 wo deter
mined to clear them all oft Kansas soil. Any
man who would not shout 'Hurrah for Lin
coln' had to go. They didn't want to , but
they saw wo meant business , end they went ,
quick , too. "
) Your correspondent went to Rushville ,
Mo. , a town of about six hundred
Inhabitants , and mot some of the old set
tlors. Rushvlllc , during the war , was a rebel
tot-bod and was a bushwhacker headquar
ters. To this day the sentiments of the men
Who vroro slaveholders before the war are
distinctly rebellious. A letter of introduc
tion to Uncle Billy Wells , as ho is called ,
, ) > aved the way to further Introductions. Mr.
IVclls was asked If ho know Hascall :
"Know him ) I should say I did ! When
tie loft Kansas tie came over to us , and lived
( or six mouths or moro m that little house on
the hill , " and ho pointed to un unpretentious
bousa not far away.
'What wore his politics then ! "
"He was u good democrat , sir , and a ferVent -
Vent pro-slavery man , as wo all were. He
vent with ino to the Lcccmpton convention
ud helped frame the constitution. "
At this Juncture Al. Fenton , tin old settler
and a man of considerable means , strolled
.Up whittling u piuo stick , and listened to the
Conversation.
"Did you know of Hascall's ever having
klllnd a man in Kansas in 1801 , Mr. Wells 1"
"Ycs"brokeinMr. Fenton , "It was claimed
thnt he was the man who shot old man Hart-
. man. "
Uucle Billy was much annoyed at this in
terruption , and excitedly denied thU. Mr.
Fenton savr ho had made n mistake , and
nervously expectorated Into the road.
"No , sir , " thundered Undo Billy , "I re-
Rani Mr. Hascall as a high-minded , high-
toned gentleman , and whoa ho was among
us ho was very popular. "
"Did Hascall avow hints ? ] * to bo a rebel ,
Mr. Wells ! ' '
"Yos , sir , ho did. It wasn't very hcMlhy
in Rushvillo for a union man at that tune. "
By this tluio ; \ crowd of village loafers and
lan'c ' Mlssourians , with a pie uud a couple of
yellow dogs , gathered about Uncle Billy and
the reporter , and the conversation became
general. Many of the older men remembered
Htucall , . and they nil expressed admiration
( or the man's noble qualities and his demo
cratic principles. When told that ha WAS a
republican , their disgust was manifest. Ono
old gentleman said : "Well , I'll ' to goh
darned I" and wandered off , wagging his
Mad sadly. On the Missouri fids of the
river the people who had known Hascall pit'
poke highly of hliu until Informed of his ru-
pcbUoantiui.
After th ! * letter hail rcwheil Tua UEE ot-
lice n reporter was directed to interview
Hascall personally and got his side ot the
story :
In ono of his haunts on Farnnm street
Hascall , surrounded by n crowd of thirsty
councllmcn and politicians , was purchasing
round after round of beer ,
Ho WAS vailed to ono ftlxlti and asked ,
"Were you in Kansas or Missouri in 133'J or
18011"
"Vcs , " ho ropllody was. "
"What wore your politics in those days
Mr. Hascall ! " '
"I was ft republican then as now. My
father was a staunch democrat , but I have
always boon a republican. "
"Did you over profess sympathy with the
south before or during the war ! "
"No sir. I was a union man and a good ,
true ono , sir. " ,
"Did you have anything to do with killing
a man by the name of Hurtman in 1301 , Mr.
Hascall I" bluntly asked the reporter.
"frothing whatever , sir , I'll tell you
about that case. You see Hartman com
mitted suicide at SU Joo. Ho was u notud
jayhawkcr and horse thief , and was shot ono
night by a party , that's all. "
When asked about his "border nifllan law
yer" sign , ho laughed and said it was merely
a Joke. "Tho same , you know , " ho said , "as
if some of my friends wcro to como up to mo
say , 'Hello ' , you old rascal. ' " This slmllo
was too much for the reporter , mid ho burst
out laughing , in which Mr. Hascall joined.
"Now man " ho continued "If
, young , , you
want to know anything of my antecedents I
can refer you to a doson men. " Ho then
called the names of two or three men who
are known to bo strong friends of his , with
whom ho has political connections.
Mr. Hascall then Joined his
party , but shortly returned , bringing
with him a man of about thlrty-flvo years of
age , whom ho said bad known him all his
life. Ho was introduced to the reporter , and
said ho was a farmer from Iowa. He Imme
diately stated that ho had known Hascall nil
his life , and had known his father well. Ho
was asked the political belief of Hascall's
father. "Ho was a republican all his life , I
knew him wo'l. ' "
"You are sure ho was a republican ? " asked
thfe reporter.
"Yes , I am sure of it ; ho was always a re
publican. "
This was somewhat of a shock to the re
porter , as Hascall himself had said , but a few
moments before , that his father had always
been a democrat.
"Did you over know Hascall in Kansas ! "
he was asked.
"Oh , yes ; I knew him at Ashton , " he re
plied.
"Don't ' you mean Atchisonl"
"No , I think it was Ashton. "
The gentleman had evidently not been
thoroughly posted before ho was brought in
to bo interviewed , and this was so palpable
that the reporter wasted no further tlmo on
him , and ho was bidden "good day. "
A FLAT CONTIUWCTIOX.
A party who know Hascall's father during
the war stated last night that ho was not only
a rank copperhead and rebel sympathizer ,
but had been accused of organizing a lodge
of the Knights of the Golden Circle. These
knights in New York , as in Indiana and in
the northern border states , were like the
torics of the re-volution , disloyal and plottin g
against the government.
TREASOXAllLK TtLK.
An old resident of Omaha , who was inter
viewed by the reporter , said in substance :
' When Huscall came hero ho had letters of
introduction from Missouri rebel sympa
thisers to J. M. WoolworthJames G. Mcgcath
and others as n man who was entitled to help
from staunch democrats. Ho was appointed
probate judge at the instance of loading dem
ocrats , and was outspoken in his disloyalty.
The idea of Hascall pretending that ho was a
union man ! I heard a great many soceslon
and copperhead speakers both north and
south at the outbreak of the war , but never
in all my lifo did I hoar such venomous , ma
lignant and treasonable talk as I heard Has
call make m the first speech he delivered at
the old Douglas county court house. Ho de
nounced Lincoln and the great loaders of the
union in terms that were so shocking and de
praved that I could not boar to listen to
them , and loft the hall with many others
indignant and disgusted.
THE STOUT COXFIKMED.
A very intimate and close friend of Has
call's , whoso namois withheld by request ,
was next sccn.nnd told the story of Hascall's
life In Kansas and Missouri. It confirmed
the story of his career as a pro-slavery
border rufttan leader. It told of the flight
into Missouri , and the residence there for
six months. The bushwhackers of Missouri
wore in Atchison constantly , and Ilascull is
said to have been with them night after
night , neglecting his wife aud home. The
night Hartman was shot it is claimed that
Hartman was in the party , but whether ho
himself shot the man is not known. The
statement lhat Hascall , with other treason-
plotters , wcro driven out of Atchison finally
by the union element of the population , was
also confirmed , and his denial refuted
beyond a reasonable doubt.

The republicans had a rousing meeting
Thursday nlRht at Forest hall , corner of Sixth
nnd Pierce streets , pr.d guvo ( .IpvernorThuyer
an enthusiastic reception. 1'nul Horsh was
chosen chairman , and introduced the gov
ernor with u few appropriate remarks.
Governor Thayot began his speech with
the statement that it was n pleasure for him
to call upon the people of Omaha , for , a1) an
invariable rule , ho wus given a cordial , a
hearty reception. Ho mild lie was not a par-
tlclo alarmed when ho discovered the waging
of a personal war against him. Ho wished
his whole llfo to bo inspected , carefully and
fully. Ho was mvuro thut Mr. McShauo wai
the originator of the calumniating that had
been started against him. IIo hud invited
Mr. McShnuo to meet him in public discus
sion , but instead of replying. McShano had
been swilling out printed matter filled with
cowardly slander , und had numerous clerks
doing the same thing. Mr. McStiano has hud
several hundred thousand slips with his
name written on , to paste over the head of
republican tickets in pluco of that of the pre
sent governor of the state. Not only this ,
but McShano hus gone further and hud
bogus tickets printed aud sot afloat. When
democrats tried to carry nn election by
fraudulent means , ho , the governor , proposed
to see thut they wcro punished. McShuno
knows thnt he can't ' bo elected uy honest
means nor by fraud. If a nmn Is honest ho
bus no use or noea of dishonest meuns. I
had u right to demand that John A. Me-
Shane stand up and meet mo in public. In
failing to do so he has proclulmod himself a
coward , and in locking himself up with
clerks and devoting himself to sending out
fraudulent tickets has placed himself liable
to criminal prosecution under the statutes of
Nebraska. The governor referred to Me-
Shutio'i * buying up newspapers throughout
the state with campaign boodle , and showed
up various instances of fraud.
When McSImnc was In the legislature he
voted against a maximum rate of railroad
charges ; against a bill making it a state of
fence to sell diseased animals ; against ono
providing that all citizens were to IM > pro
tected , in their individual rights. McShano
voted against a bill to reimburse employes of
railroad companies for injuries sustained
while in discharge of their duty.
The speaker said that it was strange that
the democrats were pitching into him for
signing the prison labor bill when ihroo-
fourthsof the democratic legislators voted
for the bill und could huvo passed it easily
over his veto.
The governor's speech was followed by re
marks from Messrs. William Gurley. candi
date for county attorney : Henry Kstabrook ,
I. S. Huscall , Gustavo Andrccn , George M.
O'Bricn , and others.
Last night Goiiarnor Thayer addressed the
Sixth and Eight * ward republican clubs at
their respective headquarters , and in both
instances ho was greeted wita large and en
thusiastic audiences. Quito a number of
ladies were present and apparently took n
deep interest in his remarks , which were
necessarily briefr-JIb was accompanied bv the
republican glco club and a num
ber of loading local politicians. Major
Clnrhson spoke > ' at some length
nnd predicted a swcoulng rcpubloan
majority for the stnte on election day. HQ
compared the merits of the two candidates
for governor , and .pictured Governor Tliayer
as being still in the'harncss and endeavoring
to educate the people up to the true standard
of citizenship , while his opponent has not
onro been beard from oven in his own de
fense. Ho warned 'them against carelessly
allowing democratlovandidates for the legis
lature to stop intooalce' and thus sending a
democratic senator to Washington , aud
made the statement that the democratic
county committco had at present
four persons , bound by oath to
secrecy , employed in preparing fraudu
lent republican tickets , to bo issued
on election day with the names of Taaycr
and Connell scratched for McShano and
Morton. Ho said ) thnt 12,000 had been so
prepared for the county and 12,000 for the
congressional district.
Governor Thayer referred to the rapid
growth of Nebraska under republican rule ,
und the difficulties the party had met with in
bringing it through the dark days of the war
times , to the exalted position it held in 1834.
Ho spoke of John A. McShano's
record m the legislature , when ho
voted against various bills brought
before the house in the interests of the workingmen -
ingmon , and when ho voted "no" to the bill
asKing that the volunteers who avenged the
liluo river massacre bo grunted a regular dis
charge. They had not asked for compensa
tion for their services , but merely a record
that they had done their duty faithfully and
bravely , but John A. wus unwilling to grant
the recognition they deserved. Many of them
were still alive , and they would oot bo found
among McShano's supporters on election
day. In the face of the record ho had shown
them , and which the state journals would
prove , ho asked those present if they could
conscientiously support such a man. The
policy of the republican party was a good ouo
and had been for the good of the country

Ofllccru of Election.
The duty of receiving ballots nt Tuesday's '
election Is Involved In moro or less doubt
nnd confusion. Judges and clerks of elec
tion were chosen ut the election a year ago
in some precincts and not in others. The
city of Omaha was especially neglectful. A
number of the oflicars elected a year ago
qualified but recently. The question arose :
Could they legally qualify at this late datol
The county attorney gave his opinion unofll-
clally , thnt they could , and the county com
missioners will probably act on thut opinion.
Following is a list of the officials in ques
tion :
Judges D.V. Sholes , first district , Seventh
ward ; P. J. Qualey , second district , Seventh
ward ; William Johnson nnd Herman Titmnc ,
Jefferson ; C. S. Avery and H. E. Westguto ,
MoArdlo ; George D. Phillips , Elkhorn.
Clerks Charles L. Thomas and Nelson C.
Bell , first district , Seventh ward ; Charles
Koberts , second district , Seventh ward ; C.
J. IClcningor and J. Kelly McCombs. Jeffer
son precinct ; James W. Moore , Elkhorn ;
Elijah Allen , MoArdlo.
It is the duty of the commissioner ! ) to ap
point judges and clerks for vacancies not
nllod by election. They huvo not yet done
this , and the list will not be passed on until
the mooting to-day. This leaves little time
for notifying the appointees.
Ou Monday County Clerk Roach will ap
point two men , ono a republican and the
other u democrat , to act with him as a can
vassing board. _
No WnrkinKiiiiiii'H Ticket.
T. J. McArdlc , the secretary of the Joint
labor associations , reports that an adjourned
mooting of the same wus hold at G. A. R.
hall Thursday evening to hear the report of a
committee appointed at Sunday's meeting.
The committee recommended that no labor
ticket distinctly representing organized labor
be put In the field at this time , and warns all
workingmeu that if such appears , it is not
authorized. The only parties recognired are
the democratic , republican and the union
labor. These being national parties , rcg"-
lurly organizedl and having their tickets in
the Held , workmgmcn are advised to use
their best judgment as to the merits of the
candidates on either of these three tickets.
This action is thought necessary , as It is ru
mored that irresponsible individuals are pre
paring to have n so-called labor ticket at the
polls on election day. The recommendation
was adopted.
HARRISON KELiICS.
Carry Off the Picket
Fence ami Pavement.
IXDIANAPOI.IS , Nov. 2. General Harrison
passed yesterday in his library at homo , re
ceiving the usual number of visitors. Among
his callers was D. L. Brown of Kansas , who
presented the general with a mallet made
from the stump of a whig polo erected at
Mount Tip , Athens county , Ohio , September
25 , 1840.
Several weeks ago General Harrison
suffered tbo loss of a picket fcnco at the
hands of the visiting Chicago drummers and
other ? , who had made a nocturnal
visit to the premises and carefully
pried off all the sound pickets. Every little
article about the yard hus mysteriously dis
appeared , and it seemed as though no mater
ial had been left upon which the zealous relic
hunter of the future could work. But one
loose brick in the general's woll-pavcd side
walk proved fatal to this theory. It fur
nished the starting point , and now the general -
oral is threatened with a loss of his pave
ment , serious inroads having already been
made upon it. _
"That Miss Jones is a nice-looking
girl , isn't she ? "
' Yes , and she'd ho the belle of the
town if it wasn't for ono thing. "
"What's that ? . '
"She has catarrh so bad it is unpleas
ant to be near her. She has tried a
dozen things and nothing helps her. I
am sorry , for I like her , but that doesn't
make it any less disagreeable for ono to
be around her. "
Now if she had used Dr. Sago's Ca
tarrh Remedy , there would have hoen
nothing of the kind said , for it will
cure catarrh every time.

T. P. O'Connor's Views.
LONDOK , Nov. 2. The Star , T. P. O'Con
nor's paper , says that Lord Salisbury is not
likely to listen to the demand for the dismis
sal of Phelps , United states minister , In re
taliation for the treatment received by Lord
Sackvillo from America. Such a step
might do much harm and could do no good.
AH are agreed , it says , that Bayard's courtesy
tosy is scant , but wo must not forget that ho
is technically right. Lord Sackvlllo's indis
cretion warranted the demand for his recall
If Lord Salisbury's reply to the demand
amounted to a refusal. There is a good deal
more to bo said for the action of America
than Englishmen are just now inclined to
admit.
