grnm to Tim BEK.I The happy nnd Jubilant
independents , Including nearly all of the
members of the lower houno nnd employes ,
mot nt the LIndoll hotel tonight , formed n
procession nnd marcncd to the sonata cham
ber. The chair , whlcti bad been occupied by
Taylor , was draped In mourning , nnd bore a
placard with the inscription , 'Gone to "
with an Index pointing downward. A pen
picture of the truant senator was qulcldv
drawn , nnd nt the top was inscribed the
words , "My nrlco 3,000. " Below , "Gone ,
but not forgotten , "
Fourteen of the stinators Beck , Day , Dy-
Bart , Hill , Horn , Kclpor , Koontz , Mlchoncr ,
'Poyt.lor ' , Sanders , Stevens , Tumor , Smith
and Wnrnor , were seated In a semicircle
around the clerk's ri'-sk.
The meeting was called to order by Moan , '
'who ' nominated Shrader for chairman , who
ir. n few well soleeted words Introduced Con
gressman MclCclghan. Cheers proetod the
congressman from the Second district who
road a short address , closing with these
words :
"Senators , this session Is drawing to n
close. In a few days you will return to your
.constituents , and as the sun of your life goes
down , and you halt to rest by the wayside ,
wo trust these little mementoes may be
among the fondest and most pleasant mem
ories of your lives. " [ Cboers. ]
Shrader then presented each of the "loyal"
BOniUors with n silver medal , on which was
inscribed : "From the members of the house
to the seventeen loyal senators. " On the re
verse side wore the words : "Ever the right
cgmcs uppermost , ever U Justlca done. " The
Bonntore wore called on for n response.
Senator ICoipor thanked the members of
the house for this expression of their regard ,
hutrcmlndnd them that ho had only carried
put the pipages made to his constituents. He
did not believe the covoruor would adopt
any policy contrary to the will of the people
and would sign the bill. In closing ho said
the house had often passed good laws for the
regulation of railroads , but the sonnto had
been the graveyard of the people's hopes.
[ Chocrsj.
Senator 1'oyntc.r thought the Independents
could not have helped doing as they did , for
they are built that way. Ho felt exceedingly
grateful for this high appreciation of his
labors , but It did not equal his Joy over the
thought that the ends sought wore finally ac
complished. "Wo formulated no unmeaning
platform , nnd wo have lived up to our
pledges , nnd this bill embodies our best ef
forts to free the people from railroad ty
ranny. " [ Applause. ]
, Senator Stevens remarked that the people
had demanded n maximum freight bill , and
ho had felt It incumbent to lay nsido all per
sonal "ambition that tbo interests of the
masses may bo conserved. Ho rejoiced at the
happy termination of the dead lock , and more
than all that sixteen members of the people's
party had Stood as firm as tbo adamantine
rock.
Senator Horn claimed no horor nor distinc
tion for simply doing his duty and would go
homo bearing that little- testimonial with a
prouder heart and a clearer conscience than
with his pocket filled with boodle. [ Great
Cheers. I "Lot us bold on faithful till 189,2
and vlotory Is within our grasp. "
Senator Bock felt that the honor equally
belonged to the house nnd they should share
In the appreciation of a grutoful people for a
service well performed. *
Senator Hill could not find words to ex
press his feelings for tbo unexpected offer
ing. Ho had pledged his constituents to vote
for this bill , and when bo wont to his long
homo ho could transmit this memento to his
BOH nnd say : "Your father received this for
- , being true to the Interests of the people who
elected him to thostate senate , " nnd when it
bocmua un heirloom to bis young grandson ,
ho hoped It might spur him onward to a
higher mid nobler manhood nnd remind him
that his grandfather never bowed bis knee to
icorporation tyranny , and took part in the
great struggle which made Nebraska free.
Senator Smith never felt so happy iu his
, life as when the deadlock was broken , but
once , and that was the day ho was married.
t ( Great laughter. ] Ho had faced enemies
before. In the early days of the rebellion ,
.ho had hold a bayonet In ono band nnd a bal-
'lot in the other , in a proclnt in the Old
'Dominion ' , and cast that ballot for Abraham
.Lincoln , nnd ho was actuated by the same
'iplrlt ' today.
Senators Day , Dysart , Michonor , Sanders ,
Turner , Warner and Williams , who
bad como In , contented themselves by merely
thanking the donators for testimonials of their
high appreciation and esteem. Addresses
by Mouu , Edgerton and others followed.
The sensation of the evening was an ad
dress by Paul Vnndcrvoort , In which , after
declaring that there was nothing to bo ad-
piired so mnch as pluck and manhood , ho ex
horted the Independents to persevere lu their
good work , and when the muster roll sounded
"for the grand charge upon the enemy in ISttij
ho would bo found in the ranks with them ,
with his gun pointed at the common too.

Governor Hoyd Flooded with Pctl *
HOIIH to Veto tlic Nowlicppy Illll.
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 20. [ Special to Tun
BHR. ] Governor Uoyd is daily In receipt of
petitions from all parts of the state request
ing him to veto the maximum freight rate
bill. These documents represent the wishes
of laborers , mechanics , professional men nnd
merchants who have given the measure a
great deal of consideration. Those of the
worklngmen give expression to the fear that ,
If the bill bo allowed to become n law , It will
deprive many of their situations , or , at least ,
tend to reduce wagoa.
These of the merchants are based upon the
fact that it. might tend to ruin their trade ,
especially when , as Is now the case , they nro
in the enjoyment of bettor rates than they
over experienced before.
Today the petitions were emphasized by
tbo appearance of sovonil delegations of me
chanics and merchants , who presented their
requests In person ana who also gave ex
pression to the feelings which , they entertain
on the subject.
Ono of the flrst petitions to nrrivo was
that from about a thousand clerks , laborers
and mechanics on the railroad In Omaha. It
was signed by almost every individual from
chief clerks down to the humblest laborer In
the yards.
A petition from the leading merchants at
Beatrice was also received.
Mr. T. L. Kimball wrote a loiter to Gov
ernor Uoyd n few days ago touching on the
subject , in which ho says : "Tho injury
this bill will do the state at large , nnd to its
Jobbing nnd manufacturing points particu
larly , Is incalculable. Under its provisions
the railroad companies can only keep afloat
by curtailing every possible outlay for ex
tensions , Improvements , maintenance nnd
operation. This means the withholding
from Nebraska of all now railway capital ,
the cuttlne down -of wages or cutting off of
labor , reducing the quality and quantity of
train service and facilities heretofore ren
dered the public. The average reduction
under this bill will bo about 50 per cent for
tbo ten classes of freight , and If It becomes a
law , It does not seem possible to me for the
Nebraska roads to sustain themselves with
out ctittlnc : oil nil distributing tariffs from
trade centers , and putting up tholr Interstate
rates on the products of tbo state , and the
most important articles consumed but not
produced , by the state ,
"I believe , under thosa circumstances , that
it is not only your duty to veto this bill , but
that you will bo justiUcd In the end by the
farmers themselves and by every intelligent
business man nnd true friend of Nebraska. "
Thcro were telegrams' from George T. Cor.
coran , editor of the York Democrat ; N. C.
Scott of Ashland , .1.11. Mragherof Solumbus.
and a host of others who pointed out evils of
the same kind ro for red to in the communica
tion otMr. Kbnball. "
Tab afternoon n delegation of fifty mer
chants from Norfolk called upon the gov
ernor. They were escorted to the Kovornor's
private room.whero one of their number read
u carefully prepared request that his excel
lency vote the bill in question. The petition
was discussed and finally Governor Boyd
arose and stated that this was evidently not
n year In which to bo severe on railroads ,
Ho had suggested in his Inaugural that rates
should be fixed on a few staples , which , ho
thought would bo satisfactory to the
people. The Ngwberry bill , however ,
rmd not 0000 * presented to him.
jiolthor had ho examined It in nil
Its details. Of course there was a demand
for railroad legislation , but ho had been told
by mon who had voted for the bill that they
would not hove done so bad it not been that
tbolr constituents had instated upon It. He
had received many letters from all parts of
the state asking him to vote the measure.
Uut ho would not then say what he would do
In the premises. Ho would examine the bill
flrst , und then do what , ho thought was for
tbo host Interests of the stato.
The gentlemen who .had circulated tbo
petition stated It they had time they could
cosily have secured hundreds of more signa
tures. As it was , there was not a merchant
who bad been asked for his signature who
did not cheerfully give It.
A similar delegation of business mon from
Fremont and a third from Blulr , also called
upon tbo governor and presented petitions like
tbat of the Norfolk- folks.Viiilo thcso
conferences were being hold In the largo
room of the governor's sulto , another delega
tion waited in his excellency's ' own room.
This comprised a committco of laborers and
mechanics of the Frotnont , Klkhorn & Mis
souri Valley road south ot the Platto. Tboy
also bad a petition which was signed by bo-
twcon sdvcn hundred and eight Hundred mon
whoso homos depended upon their holding
tbo places and whose retention of tbo latter
depended upon the governor's vetoing the
Nowborry bill. This commlttca gave ox
presslon to tbo sentiment that they knowv
from personal experience , that when tbo
granger legislation had cut the rates iu Iowa
from 10 to 20 per cent a corresponding cut in
salaries had boon made and a reduction in tbo
forces also took placo.
The governor informed the delegation as ho
had informed the visitors from. Norfolk ,
Fremont and Blair , that ho would uct In the
matter for the best in t crests of the stato.
Governor 13oyd uxpecta a largo number o
petitions tomorrow on tbo same subject , anil
It is not likely that the Inflow will bo dlmlu <
isliod until after ho shall kava acted ono way
or the other regarding tha measure.
