A RALLY OF INDEPENDENTS ,
Exposition Hall the Scene of a Fail Sized
Gathering last Night.
AN ADDRESS BV JOHN H. POWERS ,
The ( JulH-rmUorlal Candidate Ei-
pounds the Doctrines of the
1'nrty nnit Dcinnmli a
Hwcenlnfj Ho form ,
The Independents bed their Inning last
night , anil u goodly number of them Improved
; lie opportunity by assembling nt Imposition
mil , whcro for three-quarters of an hour
; hcy listened to their candidate for governor ,
Tohn II. Powers , expound tlio doctrines of
the party.
It was 8 o'clock when Hurry E. Boston , tlio
chairman of the county central committed ,
iseondal the platform and called the meeting
to order. In u few well chosen words ho in
troduced the speaker of the evening , nshort ,
heavy , well preserved old man with snow
\vhltc hair and beard.
A round of hearty nppluuso followed and
then the speaker said :
"Now , as 1 have been Introduced to you as
acnndldato for governor , I will nsk your
opinion us to the mim who hm been put for
ward to henr your stiuulard tills year.
"When Lincoln stated tbat slavery
could not exist In this country ,
how llttlo did ho realize how
soon hla words would prove true.
"When , at the close of the war , lie said that
bo trembled for the safety of the country ,
wki-n capital should bo enthroned lu the
bauds of u few , ho did not expect this would
coino true so soon.
"Lincoln must Imvo been Inspired.
"Look ut the 7,000 millionaires. For tboso
tUcro must bo at least 7OlJWU , ) , poor men.
"Lincoln's words Imvo come true , unil
today the country Is toppling on the vergu of
destruction.
"Is it true that llf ty men can control the
finances of this country I If they do , and control
"
trol all the great thoroughfares "of this coun
try ; if they control the sennto of the United
Suites ; If the president is powerless ; if the
sennto must pass every lu\v that I * suggested
by the rich , then have wo republic ? Think
of this. Is not our country drifting into an
aristocracy )
"The effect of riches obtained by tholaboH
of another is bound to harden the heart ,
charging upon this onound that ono the guilt
ot enslaving the iieople , I say
that a moneyed aristocracy Is the
most dangerous kind under which a people
can live.
"What caused this ? Soon nftcr the war
Wnshburn of Minnesota said that a horde of
rich men hnd taUcn the reins of the country ,
and by giving away the lands mid bonding
the states in the Interest of corporations had
enslaved the taxpayers. That was how it
happened.
"How was this done ! It was in many ways.
Pinna were laid by which the people have
been brought to a state of shivery. People
must have money , . .circulating medium , u
medium of exchange with which to carry on
the business of the country , Take the farmer
as an example. When I was a boy it took
but a small amount of money to carry on 1IX )
acres of land. How have things changed ?
Now to carry oti a farm it requires a capital
sufficient to carry on a largo business , ami
this is why so many of the boys leave the old
homestead and seek the city.
i > jouuj- uii uusuiuiu necessity , u stands
in the same relation to the country that
Wood does to the human system.
Take either away and the man totters nnd
falls ; takeaway half of the blood and the
man becomes weak nnd helpless. So it is
with the country. Ucduco the circulation
and the government must suffer.
"In li > tr there was -fiO per capita. Is it any
wonder that today , when it has been reduced
to.$10thnt crime and riot hold supreme control
in many places < It is a dangerous condition of
society whcro the farmers are reduced to ex
treme ' poverty , their houses mortgaged , nnd
th'o owners lu ra'gs. This has all been brought
about by the contraction of currency , 'i'ho
farmer is no longer the free man ho was n
few years ago : " ho has been berne down until
ho stands but little higher In society than the
serf of Uussla.
"Prance and Germany furnish an example
of the mortgage system. In Germany 40 per
cent of the farms are mortgaged , -while in
Franco only 5 nor cent are mortgaged. See
the difference In the condition of the Inhabi
tants of the two countries , and then
let ourstatesmen note the results.
"There Is not money enough In this coun
try , and what little there is does not go into
the hands of the people. What money is
Issued is i-sued for the people , but it does
not go to the people. It goes into the hands
of a fi > w rich men , and the poor man is com
pelled to dig away ttio same as though there
was not n single dollar in existence. Thnro
is no law compelling the rich man to loan
this money. There is a law to put this money
into the bauds of these rich men , but nonoto
take it out. Don't ' you think that If you had
been making the laws you would have en
acted one that would have compelled the
banker to have opened his treasury and loan
it out at a fair rate of interest ] il the gov
ernment would furnish money to the people
at thn same rate that It docs to the banks ,
any honorable man could borrow money and
pay it back. But no , the laws are not-
made that way. The hanker gets his
money as absolute cost , nnd yea , poor work
ing man , are compelled to pay him any rate
of interest he may ask.
"Railroads are built because they are
needed. Now If a railroad has a right to ho
built , the government has a right to say how
it shall bo operated. Every rend has the cvi-
deiico upon its face that it is built for the
people , nnd If this is so , why is It that the
government has neb a right to onurato it ?
"Let mo say to you that the farmers have
three times the capital in the roads that the
capitalists have , and if this is so , why is it
that the corporations are growing richer and
the people poorer ? It is because that while
the farmers own tlio roads , they are run in
the interest of the rich , and thus it Is that
the laws of the country are to make the rich
richer.
"Tho homes of the people are slipping out
of iheir hands , and nothing upon the
part of this people can prevent It. There Is
no law by which tlio homo , no matter how
humble , can beheld. It iworse than in suf
fering Ireland. The hard-working men nnd
women of Nebraska are taken hy the hard
hearted Hhylocks and no hand is raised to
prevent it. Can this country long exist nnd
those homes bo sacrificed ! Tblnlc of this.
You have no law to prevent the homo-owner
from mortgaging tils little cottage , and you
have no law to prevent the holder of the
mortgage from foreclosing and selling the
property when sickness and disappointment
come. This shows that the interests of the
people arc disregarded , nnd that the laws are
not in the interests of the people.
"How do the rich men govern this country ?
They eovem it by party , and not by the pee
ple. You have blamed both parties ; you
have helped ono party and then you have
helped the other , but neither party has helped
you. You have helped one party
Into ofllce , and what change have you had ?
You have had n change of postmasters ; you
have had a change of silver bills , but the one
you have now is no better than the old one.
Let mo say to you that when men are oppres
sed the only bulwark against anarchy Is u
Cowcrfuland orderly movement , which must
u brought about by principles , The old par-
tics are without principles ; they might have
had them years ago , but they have all been
lost sight of. The principles wo want will
eomoabout by reform , ballot reform , tariff
reform , labor reform and n general reform In
the cutiro management of the government ,
"The sale of ardent spirits has been placed
In issue before the voters of Nebraska , and
now 1 wiiat to say that no person has a right
to say how you shall vote upon this question.
"The independent ticket has upon it poor
men , I pity them , but I do not point the lin
ger of scom at them because they are poor.
On the other hand , capital is supporting the
nominees on the republican aim democratic
tickets. Now let us show thorn that wo are
nwnko to our interests. "
"Aro you n prohibitionist ! " said a man In
the audience , addressing Mr. I'owers after ho
hud taken his seat.
"This ought to bo understood , " said the
candidate for governor , at ho again walked
to tbo front. . "It has boon assorted that I
pavof.VJto lii'lD the cause of prohibition.
This Is faho. at I never gave $50 nor 5 cents.
The prohibitionists carne to us with the
proposition that if I would support pro
hibition they would not put a candidate in tbo
field for governor. I m now in lh field ,
nnd so li the prohibition candidate. This. It
seems to inc. would satisfy the people that I
am not with the prohibitionists. "
Alternating , Allan Hoot , Messrs Mabcrry ,
Craddock and Blake occupied the platform
for nn hour , rousting capital and Illustrating
the manner la which the poor uro oppressed.
After the meeting nt Kxposltlon hall it was
the Intention to have held n meeting of the
county central committee , but ai the mem
bers railed to appear several members of the
executive committee got together in one cor

with not sending out the proper notices , lie
shifted the responsibility and claimed that
some ono had been Interfering with the mulls.
Ho said ho had notified every member.
The chairman then arraigned the whole

The census figures of St. Paul were com
pleted today , but wore not given out here. It
is understood that the returns show tbat St.
Paul is smaller than Omaha after all. Thu
Ill-it report from the saintly city on the uppvr
Mississippi indicated tbo population to ho
about Ml,0)0 : ( ) , but it was soon discovered that
the enumerators In their dcniroto .make a
good showing for their homo and perhaps be
cause they wore paid for it , had taken the
nanio of nearly every workman In till the
shops nnd re-enumerated these same work
men in their homes. The result was that a
great many thousands were wrongfully
added to the schedule , and St , Paul up-
pcnred larger than It really was. It Is esti
mated nl the census ofllco this afternoon that'
the falling off will not ho les < i than 8,000 , n.u
that St. Paul , like Kansas Uitj
will have to drop down in the
scale below Nebraska's metropolis , '
The Minneapolis llgui-cs , which were given
out this afternoon , show to what extent tliu
counting was done by St. Paul's twin , Tlio
