Who have been residents of Columbus for
many years , huvo been Interviewed , und the
expressions of confldcncc In A. M. Post as a
man nnd as n Judge are general. The
World > Horald's base libel is not credited
where Judge Post is known. , This Is what
Eorncof them say :
H. H. Henry ( democrat ) 1 have known
Judge Post ever since ho came to Columbus ,
and know him to bo n straight , square , moral
nnd upright man and nn exceptionally nblo
Jurist.
George li. Wlllard ( democrat ) 1 bavo
known Judge Post for fifteen years , and
have always considered him a man whoso
character is above reproach. His legal
utility Is unquestioned. I u'-llovo ho will bo
elected , and shall do what I can to further
his cause.
William O'Brien , attorney , ( democrat )
I have known Judge Post about eight years
and entertain for him tno highest respect as
as n nan and a Judge. I consider hU char
acter nbovo reproach.
C. A. UrlnUlo.v , attorney , ( Ind. ) I have
known Judge Post slnco ho Ilrst came to
Nebraska , and entertain a high respect for
hi.s character , public and private. As a dis
trict Jm'.jre ho has shown hiniaelf able , fair
and Impartial.
W. A. McAllister , attorney , ( rnp. ) I have
known Judo ( Post intimately for twelve
years , and have ever found him n moral nnd
upright num. I consider he has ono of the
best Judicial minds in the stato.
Carl Kramer , postmaster , ( rep. ) I have
known Judge Post nnd his family for thir
teen years. 1 know him by reputation ,
through some of his relatives In Chicago , before
fore coming hero. 1 never knew u.stralghtor
Jurist , or n moro honorable man.
J. N. Heater , millwright , ( rop. ) I have
lived a near neighbor to Judge Post for
thirteen years. His lifo as n neighbor and
citizen has been above reproach. I was
completely dumbfounded that uny one should
pay might against his character. Ho Is a
v faithful husband , a loving father , a Just
Judge , and an able exponent of the law.
t > - 1. Gluck ( dom.--\vhcn ) I read the accusa
tion against Judge Post In the World-Herald
I pronounced it a lie nnd still bclievo it to bo
such. 1 know him to bo an able nnd Impartial
Judge , and though ho is not of my political
faith ho will got my curdinl support und thnt
of my trlcmls. Ho is ugood man.
J. E. North ( dom. ) I have known Judge
Post well for fifteen years past and have
always regarded him ns n man of the very
best of moruls , a kind husband , Indulgent
father , nnd excellent neighbor. As u lawyer
lie wus Industrious and attentive to his busi
ness , very careful of the Interests of his
clients , As u Judge I hnvo frequently heard
some of the leading lawyers of the state
quote him us the ablest district Judge in
Nebraska.
C. A. Spolco ( dom. ) I have known Judco
Post since ho made his residence In our city.
Have Known him nt thn bar nnd on the
b'-'iich. Ho is a line lawyer and an nblu
Judge , second to none on the district bench
in our slate.
JEmll Pohl , grocer ( rep ) I have known
Judge Post for many years and consider him
a man whoso character is thu best , und a
Judge whoso opinions nro as correct ns thu
law upon which they nro based. Ho Is a
Bplomlld man In ovary respect.
\Vllllnm Cornelius , attorney ( rep ) To tbo
men who know Juilno 1'ost ns well us I do , a
Bcandid buried for twenty years nnd then
dug up by a disreputable newspaper will
have no effect , save to excite contempt , for
the ghouls ongared in it. I recognize A. M.
Post us a man of spotless moral character ,
nn exemplary citizen nnd ono of the very best
district Judges In the stnto. 11 ttio voters of
Nebraska npprcciatcd his true worth , he
would receive u unanimous voto.
J. G. Itccdor. attorney ( rep ) In nil my
acquaintance with Judge Post , extending
over a long period of years , I have considered
his public and private lifo above criticism
As a Judge helms made few mistakes , nnd
his rulings hnvo always commanded the res
pect of the bar. His qualifications for the
supreme bench nro not excelled by any
attorney in tno stato.
M. Wuitmoyor , attorney ( rop. ) I hnvo
known .ludgo Post from the time ho first
came to Columbus and know him well. Wo
were partners In business for many years
till ho wont upon the bench. Ho is always
considerate and conservative and has never
been Identified with nny o ( Iho extremists In
nny cause ; very careful and earnest In hi.s
business matters , nnd n model man in his
homo. His ability is not questioned , and I
regard his quallllcutions tor the supreme
judgcshlp as of the highest order.
G. II. Sheldon ( rop. ) I have been Inti
mately acquainted with Judge A. M. Post for
ten years. 1 have the utmost conlldonce in
bim as u man , und 1 believe him to bu an up
right judge and a lawyer who has few
equals.
C. J. Garlow , attorney , ( rop. ) His char
acter and manliness cannot bo quostionou.
Ill * 'nti-grlty ' aud ability as a lawyer and
judge uro acknowledged by every attorney In
Ills district. Ho Is the right man for the
high otllco to which ho has been nominated.
( . ; . B. Ktlllman ( dom. ) 1 huvo been ac
quainted with Judge A. Si. Post ever since
liu bus ri'sldoa In Nebraska , und have always
admired him for his Just 'nnd upright life.
In nil the relations of jurist , citizen nnd In
bis domestic lifo ho has presented an ox-
umplo well worthy of emulation.
David Sehupbach ( dom. ) 1 hnvo known
Judge Post for more than twelve years and
consider him ono of the host of our citizens , u
good , conscientious judge , who stands nbovo
party politics , nnd a man of the highest order
in point of ability nnd character. The demo
crats of Platte county will show tholr high
cstcum for Judge Post nt the polls. All
vile attacks upon Judge Post will not bo suftl-
clout to obscure the solid fact be will make
nun bio , honorable und honest tupremo Judgo.
John G. Pollack ( rep.Vhcn ) the inde
pendents huvo to resort to .such means ns the
abuse of a candidate for an act of which n
court at the time could not convict him , U
gives llttlooncoiirugomont fora man to reform -
form , Surely It speak * well for n candidate
that they have to go back twenty yours to
flint n flaw In his character , and then find
that the records of that date prove him Inno
cent. Post will bo elected by n good major
ity , nnd that by the votes of the best and
purott men of all parties ,
Lcandnr Gerrard ( rop. ) 1 hnvo known
Judge Post Intimately slnco ISTil and regard
him as an exceptionally upright man ,
set-hilly nnd morally. There nro but few men
In thu state us well qtiaitlled to till the posi
tion of Judge of tbo supreme court ns ho. I
am surprised nnd disappointed that so prom
ising nnd woll-brougtit-up n young man as
Mr. Hitchcock thould allow such disgraceful
articles published In his papnr. It will only
lower him In the estimation of the public
nnd make votes for Judge Post.
L. . J. Cramer , county supcrlntondtmt ( rop. )
In ull they ears of my residence In Colum
bus 1 have never heard aught but good
words for Judge Post aud his estimable fam
ily. 1 know htm to bo u very nblo Jurist nnd
my contldunco In his character us a man can
not bo shaken by campaign 1\iulers resur
rected from the grave of twenty years nco.
Henry Kagniz , mayor , ( rep , ) I have
known Judge Post for fifteen years and bavo
B very high opinion of his legal ability ; and
( luring all thcjo yean not a wblspor has gone
out ngulnst nls cliaructurln any way. I have
looked upon him as n model man among men
and am slow to lend crodonro to the calum-
iil ? engendered by a bitter campaign , Col
umbus people belluvo In Judge Post and I am
cf the opinion that this city will c'vo ' biro 550
out of Its (5.V ( ) votes , and that ho will carry
every county In thli Judicial district by good ,

Modest Demand of New York Printers
Who Thought They IlnU a Cinch.
Niw : VOHIC , Nov. 1.Tho managers of the
Metropolitan Job Printing company uro
wondering , after ai : experience that they had
yesterday , if It pays to run a printing ofllco.
About I1UO compositors wont on a strike ,
although they were getting full wages and
their action threatened the company with the
fo.'foituro of a bond of ? IO,00 for the com
pletion last night of the printing of thn
Brooklyn registry lists. A timely order from
Secretary Ferguson of Typographical union
No. ( i sent the men back to their places , after
they had been out an hour or so , but the
managers were not at ease until evening ,
when the presses had rolled oil enough work
to make reasonably sure of the completion of
the contract in time to save the bond.
This work is secured by competitive bid
ding. H must bo rushed. The company en
gaged ! ! ( ) ( ) extra compositors to get It done as
quickly as It wus wtinted. From the start
the now compositors seemed to understand
that they were on special work and to appre
ciate the importance to the companv of hav-
inir it done quickly. They began to demand
extra pay for rush work. 'Jho company
yielded to save dispute. On Friday the men
proposed to work all night. That meant
double pay. The management would not
ngroo to It , whereupon it became ovidsnt that
trouble was browing.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
crisis came , when a delegation of the men
waited upon the superintendent und de
manded ) per hour for the rest of the Job.
Their demand wus refused with the ex
planation that such wages for 300 men wouid
leave the company with u large loss on the
Job.
Job.Tho
The men threatened to strike unless they
wera promised that pay.Vhon the man
agement again refused they laid down tholr
sticks nnd wont out.
A message was sent to the ofllco of the
secretary of Typographical union No. ti.
Alter hearing the company's story ho went
among the men , They persisted in tholr
demands. Finding that they would not
bo reasonable , Mr. Ferguson peremptorily
ordered them back to WOOK. They returned
but many of them were : o sullen nbout It
that the manugors were kept In u nervous
condition nil day.
They felt ? HIWO , ( richer when the packages
from the press room piled shoulder hluh In
Iho otllco showed that the woric was moving
along us planned.
"This experience , " said Commodore
Tookor , when the danger had passed , "has
nearly con\ ( need us thnt It does not pay to
tuko Immense contract Jobs with bond at
tachments. The caprlco of men who were
well paid nnd who came to us glad to get
work might hnvo ruined us today. Wo will

Hjrnn thnt ttio Homer Stutu banic had been

Mr. Freeze lives four blocks from the bank

awakened by some one knocking on the door.
In answer to the alarm ho was mot by two
masked men with drown revolvers. They
demanded that he proceed with them to the
bank , which ho aid. Arriving there they
demanded that the safe bo opened and the
cash bo turned over.
Before doing this they gagged him with a
handkerchief , which prevented him giving

cash , all of which was taken.
The robbers then tooic the cashier
to the door nnd tying his
hands behind his back , fastened
him to the door lock mm bidding Hi in good

Freeze soon freed himself and gave the
alarm , but up to the present time no clue has
been found. The cashier claims that ho can
identify the robbers but as they have a good
scope of territory to travel in their capture is
doubtful. A number express the opinion
that It was the work of homo talent.

CHATTANOOGA , Tonn. , Ny. 1. A rumor Is
current hero to the effect luat asocrot under
standing exists between tho'minors through
out the state to liberate all convicts working
in the mines. In consequence It Is thought
the next , move will bo on Oliver Springs ,
Tracy City and Inmnn , where convicts are
employed. A special to tho'Timos says that
no further outbreaks have occurred at Brlco-
vlllo , and the minors resumed work yester
day morning.
The convicts are scattered over the terri
tory llccing to the mountains of Kentucky.
The total number of convicts released exceeds -
ceeds ! } 00. The militia are waiting orders
from Governor Buchanan , but the ofllcers do
not think they will bo inllcd out , as the
damage has been done and'thoro Is no need
for their presence nt BriccvIIio. The matter
has created great excitement there and the
outcome is looked for.vnrd to with interest.
The failure of tno legislature to adjust the
difllculty Is the foundation of the recent law

Indignant in their expressions.

Niw Yomc , Nov. 1. Among the Immi
grants landed at the barge oftlco today from
the Hamburg American steamer. Fnorst
Bismarck , which reached this portyosterdny ,
was a Gorman family named Muller. There
was the mother , her son John , 20 years old
nnd daughter Marguerite , aged 'J2 , besides a
son-in-law nnd his two children ,
The daughter was seen to bo in an Inter
esting condition ana evidently near to the
culmination of her trouble. When questioned
by the buro.ui oHlcinls she Indicated that her
brother John was the responsible person
At this time the attaches of the barge oftlce
had no knowledge of the relationship exist
ing between the pair und they were hold , the
remainder of the family being permitted to
go ashore.
Marguerite was told that unless she nnd
her betrayer were uinrrioJ they would both
bo sent back to their Gorman homo. She re
sponded at once that she was qulto willing
to take him for a husbaud and Ho In turn , expressed -
pressed equal willingness to make Marguer
ite his wlfo. So a.i ofllcial escorted them to
Pastor Itoylcs' residence nnd they were
married.
After the ceremony It was found that the
mother had their tickets for Elgin , 111. , nnd
search was made for tier. She was found nt
the emigrant mission hcuso , nnd was told
that her daughter was married and at liberty
to accompany her on her Journey. She ex
pressed much astonishment and demanded
to know wtiom nor daughter had married.
On being told she throw up her hands and
shrieked In horror. "Why that is my son ;
they aio brother nnd sister. "
Tne scene that followed beggars descrip
tion. Upbraldinps nnd recriminations by
mother and daughter followed , whllo the
son , brother and husband , Jolni , who
had entered the worn looked on
In stolid indifference. Tha girl persisted in
her statement that John was the father of
tier unborn child , whllo the mother protested
that n soldier stationed in Mockllnborg ,
Germany , was the author of the trouble.
Tlio brother would make no statement ,
neither admitting nor Jonyiuc the chnreo.
The mother succeeded In exciting belief In
her story of the Gorman soldier , nnd tno con
clusion was reached that the girl had Impli
cated the brother In orJor to secure their re
lease from the barge ofllco.
Brother nnd sister were remanded to the
detention room pending further Investi
gation ,

Nov. I. | By Mexican Cnblo to the Herald
Special to Tin : Bcn.J From all appearances
the danger of any serious trouble between
Chili nnd the United States over the Balti
more outrage Is passing rapidly away. What
impresses the foreign newspaper representa
tives hero as the most marked Infractions of
courtesy in the affair are Ilrst , the failure of
the Junta to express any regret that the
assault was committed or to give any assur
ance that the Investigation would bo thor
ough nnd Impartial , and secondly , that
Judge Foster , who is conducting the inquiry
Into the attack , stiould have refused to allow
any of the Baltimore's officers to bo present
when the court was taking the ovUlonco of
tno American sailors.
This latter action is , however , defended on
the ground that it was in accordance with
the Chilians laws , which require such In
vestigations to bo secretly conducted.
Eleven days passed after the murder
ous attack by the mob on the A mar-
lean sailors before Intendcnto Arlequi
made his request of Consul McCrcery
thnt any data In possession of Captain Schley
regarding the outrage should be furnished to
Judge Foster. Consul McCroory informed
Scnor Arlequi that ho was unaulo to comply
with the request for the reason thnt Captain
Schley had sent all the evidence to Minister
Eiran for the Information of the United
States government. Whllo the opinions of
the Americans hero nro unnnimou ? thnt our
government acted In a proper spfrlt In de
manding reparation , yet they believe that in
vlow of the fact that tbo present Chilian gov
ernment Is simply provisional , some allow
ance should bo made until tbo now govern
ment is fully established.
The Cibortad Electoral the seml-ofllcinl
orcun of the junta publishes nn editorial
which is calculated to sot at rust any feeling
of uneasiness which may have prevailed
hero or elsewhere in Chili. It says thnt for
the last few days rumors have been provnl-
cut nt Santiago that an alarming rupture of
amicable relations between Chili and the
United States is imminent. "Wo assure
the public , " it adds , "that tneso rumors arn
unfounded. We know this to bo n fact for
tnis very day despatches have been received
from Scnor Pedro Montt , our minister at
Washington , assorting that the utmost
cordiality exists between him and Secre
tary Blame. This certainly Is the very
opposite of hostile fooling. Scnor Montt had
an important conference with Mr. Blaine ,
during which 'ho Baltimore cpisodo was
fully discussed. Mr. Blniuo said thnt he saw
In the cuso no reason so far to compromise
tbo relations existing at present between the
respective countries. Mr. Blaine also said
that ho would not form any dollnlto opin
ions uDout the affair until the conclusion
of the investigation at Valparaiso. Senor
Montt reports that Mr. Blainos' reception of
him was cordial and kind.
f
"For our part , " the article concludes , "wo
fool sure that those facts , when they become
generally known , will put an end to all dis
turbing rumors. "
Two ofllcors of the Gorman navy were in
sulted last night while on a train running
between Valparaiso and Santiago. The in
sult is supposed to have boon the outcome of
tno feeling toward the German naval onlcors
because the German warship Llopzli : har
bored u number of Bnltnacodist refugees.
The German Admiral Valols complained
about the insult to the Intondontc , who has
promised to use all his power to prevent u
repetition of It.

Sopulvcda , who were detected In nn attempt
to blow up the Altnlranto Lynch with dyna
mite. Polltoo who was an Austrian , turned

brought to boar upon him. They wore all
throe shot on July 12. The soldiers stood
four paces from them , dimming who was
40 years old , a prominent merchant In Val

Authority to Close thn Corrupt
Bargain , \Vhlc-h It Is Said \Vns
IniHunnntly Spurned.
Paul Vnndervoort. the fat oil-room man
ipulator , who poses as the main guy of the
Independent p.irty , arrived in Omaha at 11 :30 :
a. in. yesterday on the B. & M. tram nnd
rushed nt once to the Mlllnrd hotel. IIo
didn't oven tnko time to put down bU vnli.so ,
but made nt once for the room of S. II. II.
Clark , the general manager of the Union
Pacific.
The Interview lasted two hours or moro.
Just what passed between the principals Is
not definitely stated , but later in iho day
enough had leaked out to satisfy nny reason
able man of the object of Vandcrvoort's
hasty mission to the railroad magnate.
A reporter souuht Mr. Clark for n verifica
tion of the story wnlch had found its way to
the loading hotel rotundas and republican
commlttoo headquarters. That gentleman
woula not say whether the story was true or
not , but his reference to the matter Implied
nn inexpressible contempt for the man who
is said to have offered Edgorton for sale , bag
nnd baggage.-
Proposed to Deliver Ivl nrton.
Vandervoort , ns the story runs , stated to
Mr Clark that ho was prepared to plcdgo his
man Kdgorton to protect the Interests of the
railroads in cases coming Into the supreme
court. Ho said he had buon authorized by
Edgerton to plC'Igo the railroads that if
elected ho would do tholr bidding absolutely ,
and any unfavorable decisions coming from
the lower courts would bo reversed in the In
terests. of the railroads.
Vandorvoort was profuse In his promises
nnd said that if L'.dgorton did not get the
railroad vote ho was lost ; that the fooling
throughout the state and In all the cities
was so intensely bitter against him that ho
must have the vote of the railway employes
In order to vtiind any show against Post.
In order to obtain the support of the rail
roads , Vandervoort said ho was prepared to
plcdgo Edgerton to do the bidding of the cor
porations , or , if that was not satisfactory , ho
would go and got Edgorton himself to inako
the agreement with Mr. Clark in the pres
ence of witnesses.
The Proposition Spurned.
Mr. Clark , report has it , waited until
Vandorvoort had concluded UU proposition
and then ho proceeded to roist the advo
cate of the independents to a turn. Ho not
only rcjociod the proposition mo > t emphati
cally , but ho gave tlio agent of Edgorton
such a drotsln ? down as would have m ido
anything but a oravs monkey heartily
ashamed of himself , but Vandorvoort was not
oven phased by the attack It was llko pourIng -
Ing water on a duck's back ,
He Then OfTere.il the Knrtli.
Instead of quitting the room ho started to
make another proposition. Ho said he
exerted a great Influence among the Inde
pendents , and could swing the whole inde
pendent vote nny way ho wan ted to. IIo
offered to swing that vote as the railroads
directed if they would do something for
Edgertoii. Ho besought Mr. Clark to nccedo
to his request In some form. He weuld
promise anything for Edgertoii und had full
power to make any arrangement with the
railroads on behalf of "thn peoples candi
date , " but his voice loll on deaf oars und ho
wus Informed that the railroads wore not
Interfering In nny way with the election and
would not do so under any circumstances.
The disappointed renegade lin'illy gave up
the attempt to prostitute his tool to Ibo rail
roads and loft the room , walking gloomily
down the stairs and out of the hotel.
Uurlng the conference ATundervoort used
every art known to this most experienced operator -
orator In underhand methods to Induce tha
railroads to buy Edgerton , body nnd soul , but
without avail.
The Interview was hold in the presence of
a third party a prominent railroad ofllcial
who la'o ' last night was seen by n reporter
and verified the material points UH recited
above. There Is little doubt In the minds of
republican leaders that the story Is truo. As
nn instance showing the disposition of Edger
ton toward the rnllroails the story IK recalled
that shortly utter hi-s nomination onu of tils
confidential imcnts sought to make terms
with the general maiiagor of the B. & M.
railroad.
