W A ntNOTOK , Xoy. 20. The Indications arc
thnt the frea coinage fight will ba renewed
wltji rather incroiiaeJ vljtor at the opening
of the regular session of congress. The
men who waged such a stubborn \vnrfaro for
silver In the luo houses during the extra
session nppenr to hnvo gathered conflctcnco
by tlio incuts which have follmvcd the re
peal of the sliver purchase act and an organ-
UiUlnti of their forces Is now being per
fected.
For the past two or thrco wcoUs the silver
men liavo been slnRUlnrly quint. The reason
for this has now become apparent. The
sllvor men were walling for n sufltclcnt
period to ulupsu after tha repeal or thoShcr-
inan not In order to demonstrate U > the people -
plo Unit the silver purcliu&o law U-I\H not the
Rixiiso of the proJit financial depression and
that It1 * repeal would not prove a panacea
lor all the comnieri-lal evils which have ac
companied the times. They think the
demonstration of this fact is now so appar
ent to the American people that the silver
men nro preparing to submit to the two
Jiousoi of coiiRri-ss next month that the leg
islation demanded by the administration has
been a failure in rcstorlne commercial pros
perity , that the position of thu silver men in
urRliiR free coinage at the late srsslon has
been vindicated , mid that now the demo
cratic party In coneicss should dexotu Itsulf
to redeeming the remaining plcdircs of the
last democratic national ' : onventon ! on thn
subject of silver and financial legislation.
"With this object In vlo\v Chairman IJInnd of
the committee of coinage , weights and meas
ures is propailnR a bill , which ho. as the
leader of the frco coinage men , will intro
duce at the opening of the next session.
It is further declared by Mr. Bland to bo
his intention to afford no loophole of cscapo
for those democratic rongresbmcn who have
talked for tree coin ago to their constituents ,
but voted apuiiibt it on plausiblu pretexts
when the matter came up for consideration
in the house , Scores of democratic congress
men declared themselves devotedly attached
to the frco coinage cause during the recent
.session , but explained that they thought the
wiser course at that time was to repeal the
silver purchiiRO act , aiut then to take up the
frco coinage cjutstion pure and simple , and
consider it at the regular session.
Muji > rlty for Vrco Colnugc. *
Mr. Bland declares that there is a clear
majority for free coinage in tuo house of
representatives if their private declarations
to him during the extra session are to bo ro
lled on. and ho proposes now to bring these
gentlemen to the crucial test.
The measure which Chairman Bland will
introduce at thu opening of the session is
substantially a re-enactment ot the law of
January 18,1837. , It is the belief of the sil
ver men that n bill re-enacting this law will
command greater strength and afford less
opportunity for evasion than any other
measure which could possibly bo presented.
The act of 1837 was simple and brief. It pro
vided for silver dollars of 4121 < J grains
and declared that "tho dollars , half dollars ,
quarter dollars , dimes and half dimes should
bo legal tender according to their nominal
value for any sums whatsoever. "
In regard to his position and the plans of
Iho silver men Chairman Bland says : "I do
not sco that the repeal of the Sherman law
bas changed the situation for the better.
Indeed , Jt appears rather to have changed it
for the worse. The truth Is aud. the people
ple now thoroughly realize it the silver
purchase law lias had nothing to do with
the , hard times. The hard times came and
they nro with us and they cannot bo waved
nwoy by the wand of a magician , however
potent his charms , or however essential his
personality. Wo simply have to go through
a process of liquidation before good times
can coma again , and that was necessary
whether wo repealed the Sherman law or
not. This panic , llko all other panics , finally
reached a point where the people got afraid
of the banks and afraid of each other and
there now has got to bo a , general liquida
tion and blotting out and beginning anew.
The repeal of the Sherman luw will only
Send to make liquidation the harder for the
debtor class of people , because it contracts
the currency and loaves the business inter
ests of the country without a suftjeient vol-
'jme of money to supply a growing popula
tion and develop more industries.
Were Altogether Mistaken.
"One of the great mistakes those people
. joom to have made about repeal is that their
plan was to promote schemes in Wall street
'bonds and mortgages , and transactions of
that kind. It was supposed that repeal would
do this , because it was thought that Eu
ropean capital would bo invested here more
readily by the repeal of the sliver purchase
act than by letting it stand. But it seems
that oven m that they have been greatly dis
appointed. There seems to bo now less coii-
Jklenco in Europe in our financial conditions
than before. Europeans are sending no more
money hero and continue to draw away ours.
If the gold basis which wo have now tends
to coutraqt the currency it makes the times
harder everywhere , The contraction of the
currency and a gold basis will tend to make
a Mmrp demand for gold in Europe as well as
hero and will Injure our prod ucors by caus
ing lower prices for everything wo send to
Europe. This also makes lower prices here ,
and hcnco , since the passage of thu repeal
act , wheat and cotton have gene down in the
market instead of going up. If wo can reduce -
duce the tariff very largely so as to make
trade easier and freer the exchange of our
commodities abroad will tend some what to
relieve the farming interests of this couptry.
Hence , I think , wo should at least immedi
ately Impose a large Income tax and greatly
reduce the duties on Imports.
llliliul U Confident.
" \Vo expect to undertake to pass a free
coinage bill before congress adjourns , " con
tinued Chairman lllund , decisively. "What
success \\a will have Is very uncertain. I
shall Introduce a bill reviving the not of
1837 , and thus providing again for the free
coinage of the standard silver dollar. My
position is that wo should repeal now all of
the Sherman laws on sllvor and have the
law of 1837 ro-cuaeted and thus put silver
back where ho put his hand on it. Since wo
"have repealed one of his laws , let us repeal
all of thorn. I think that a majority of the
committee on coinage , weights and measures
will favor such a bill as I am preparing. I
think the late election would stim
ulate some of them to a belief in
the wisdom of such a policy. The last
election seemed to show a general
want of confidence In the democratic party ,
Its result docs not look , either us though
people had much confidence that the repeal
of the Sherman law would help. My pur
pose is to introduce such a bill , have it
promptly acted upon by the committee , as I
< have tie doubt It will bo , and have it reported
back to the house. * I am willing to allow
a reasonable time for the discussion and
passing of a tariff bill before discussing the
free coinage measure. Wo will not embar
rass them and will glvo no one any excuse
for evading the issue I think our people
ought to go to work and ptxsa a good tariff
bill at an early day and after that is done I
purpose to sco if wo cannot have some finan
cial legislation.
"For my part I am a free trader and do
not belong to the incidental protectionists. .
'Of course , if they put wool on the free list. I
shall expect and insist on a heavy cut In
manufactured woolen goods. I should con
sider it very unfair to put wool on thu free
list until wo got a corresponding reduction
in woolen goods.1'

WASHINGTON , Xov. 20. The great lakes
are high neas according to the construction
announced today by Justice Field in the
United States supreme court in tno consid
eration of the act of congress providing for
the punishment ot offenders on the high
seas. Justice ( ? ray and Justice Brown dis
sented.
The matter ranio up on the cnso of the
L'nlted States against Hobcrt Hogers , who
waslndtcted In eastern Michigan for as
saulting another person on the United States
steamer Alaska , lying at the tlmo in the
Detroit river. Hogers entered a demurrer
to the jurisdiction of the court under Iho
high seas net. contending that the great
lakes were not high seas , and the court sus
tained him , The court holds that the de
murrer should have been overruled. Justice
Field said that formerly the term high seas
was used to designate open or unenclosed
waters of the ocean , but that there has been
a dnvelopmcnt of the term , and that It docs
not now have the significance formerly at
taching to it. The Mediterranean , ho says ,
nas come to bo regarded as high seas , and
the great lakes with their Immense territory
como within the same construction aud can
not ho excluded on the ground that they are
fresh and not salt water bodies. The statute
of the United States for punishment of the
offenses oti the high ocas and connecting
waters , ho holds , was Intended to apply to
all navigable waters outside the Jurisdiction
of any particular state. Ho believed it was
a matter , not of local name , but of fact , and
the designation , ' 'great lakes , " could not
withhold jurisdiction whore water * were
open to free imt [ ( ration of other countries.
Justice Gray dissented , saying he was un-
ablu to agree to the hypothesis of congress
In saying high seas could mean the great
lakes. The justice held to the ancient and
long accepted term of high seas , nndsuld
that in a penal statute the prisoner was en
titled to all reasonable doubt. Justice
Brown also dissented.
The lonir pending litigation between Her
man Slum of Indianapolis and Ferdinand
Bokor and others of Now York , arising out
of a shipment of arias to Mexico in lb(57 ( in
aid of Maximilian's cause , was decided by
the United States supreme court today ,
though the end Is not yet. The court re
versed the decision of Judge Grcshnin in the
circuit court and sent it baclc , with direc
tions as to how the accounting between the
parties should bo made. The amount in
volved is $233,000.

Mexican llardnr.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 20. The troubles on
the Mexican border have assumed more
serious proportions than the officials hero
were at first led to anticipate. On Satur
day last Senor Romero , the Mexican min
ister , informed the State department that
ho hud received information from his gov
ernment that a band of twenty-five men
were organizing on the Texas side of the Km
Grande for the purpose of crossing into Mexico
ice at a point near San Elizario. The matter
was immediately referred to the War de
partment and General Wheaten , commanding
the Department of lexas , was telegraphed
to take stops to pi event them from crossing.
He replied that Major Hinton had been
sent to San Elizario with ono com
pany of infantry in wagons and that
a detachment of thirty cavalrymen had
also loft for the same point , but no
traces of the band had been found. The
residents informed the troops that they hud
not seen or heard of the organization. It
appears from later information that the
troops were misled.
The Mexican minister called on the State
department again today and Informed the
secretary that ho had received advices that
another band of sixty-five men had crossed
near El Paso. Ho also complained that the
Texas authorities bad taken no steps to prevent -
vent the violation of the neutrality law ,
though they had information of the fact
that the band wag organized. This information
mation has been telegraphed to General
Wheaton. and it is probable that ho will at
oueotake steps to patrol the frontier and
put. a stop to any further violations of the
law.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 20 , The ways and
moans committee , will probably give out the
now tariff bill on Monday next. The demo
cratic members are now devoting mostof
their tlmo In conference attempting to learn ,
with the aid of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Ilamlln and others , the exact
amount of revenue that will bo .yielded byi
the various schedules under the revision
contemplated by the bill , This involves de
tailed calculations and unfit this labor 1st
ended no final action can bo taken on any of <
the reports of the subcommittees.
The income tax provision is held in
abeyance until the amount. of revenue likely
to bo raised uudcr the other provisions of
the bill has certainly been learned. There
seems to bo no doubt of its tlnnl adoption.
This will greatly relieve the subcommittee
on internal revenue' and render it unlikely
t lidt there will bo any increase on any of the
articles embraced in the intcrm.l revenue
schedules except \\hlsky. The tax on beer
and tobacco will bo probably allowed to re
main , though a small increase of the whisky
tax is quite probable ,
Night sessions are now to bo held regu
larly by the democratic members until the
bill is completed.

LINCOLN , Nov. CO. [ Special Telegram to
THE Dun. ] Lincoln republicans have a
clear case of offensive partisanship apainst
the democratic manager of the elements ,
for the republican celebration In this city
was accompanied by weather of the most
disagreeable sort. A cold , drizzling rain set
in shortly before 0 o'clock and continued
during the entire evening. The storm , how
ever , did not interfere cither with the
parade or tno celebration at thc'UinsIng
theater , the building being packed to suf
focation.
The parade marched through the principal
streets of t ho city shortly before a o'clock.
It was a success in spite of the rain and was
witnessed by an Immense crowd , which lined
the streets along the routo. There were a
number of bandstho Lincoln Flambeau club ,
with torches and flroworks , the University
cadets and various republican organizations.
A largo number of transparencies were
berne In Iho line , some of which read as fol
lows : "Republican Majorities Bring Good
Timos.'i "Maxwell Is to Bo Pitied. " "Ne
braska Turned Down Repudiation , " "Tins
Bun Has Lost Its Sting. " "Pension Vetoes
Are Dangerous. " "McKlnloy : Governor in

Considerable disappointment was ex
pressed over the failure of Frank IX Jack
son , governor-elect of Iowa , to show up. Ho
telegraphed that ho would bo unable to at
tend. Judge Harrison , in honor of whose
election the celebration toulght was hold ,
telegraphed that ho would be unable to bo
present.
The celebration at the opera house was in
augurated by Governor Crounsc , who , after
a brief introduction from Brad Slaughter ,
spoke a brief and expressive welcome.
Among other things lie said :
' This is our year for rejoicing. As I
recollect wo didn't engage very extensively
in that business a year ago. Last year it
was the other fellows , the Dolly Varden ,
crazy quilt aggregation of auythtng-to-boat-
tho-republicans. who had been standing out
in the cold for a third of the century , who
pounded the drums , burned the rod lights
and yelled as though pandemonium had been
let loose.
TliosoVliiKltrJolood I.nut Year.
"Every free trader who is willing to see
American labor upon a European pauper
basis.rejoiced. All tlio rascals who wanted
to pay honest obligations vith dishonest dollars
lars were glad , while the whole horde of
hungry olllco seekers yelled like n paelc of
starved cayotes as they thought they sniffed
the political carcass in the distance. Added
to these was that-army of poor , deluded
innocents who had been taught by dema
gogues to believe that with the defeat of ttio
republicans the millennium would bo ushered
in , wticu tbero would bo no 'robber tariff , '
no drouth or failure of crops ; that wheat
would rise to $1.23 per bushel , and that
greenbacks and sbinplastcrs would rain
down upon them like manna from heaven.
But. oh , what a difference ) ia thu morning.
"For eight weary months they have been
waiting and the promised * millennium is hot
in sight. Ou the contrary , the countryaftcr
dosing with democracy , could appropriately
adopt the inscription found on the tomb
stone of that once healthy gentleman who
dosed himself too strongly with quack med
icine , and which reads : 'I was well ; I
wanted to bo better , and hero I am. ' The
country was well. It was never better.
Under republican rule it had risen to the
front of nations. It excelled all others in
point of wealth , in the extent of its agriculture -
turo and manufactures. Its credit at homo
and abroad was excellent. Its exports were
in excess of imports and money was llowing
into our coffers. Our currency was equal to
the best in tne world. The industries of the
nation wore active and labor found employ
ment at the best of wages , and never before
did a dollar buy more than a year ago.
.Efl'ectB of a Chungr.
"But the change was Insisted upon and it
came , and with it has como the results that
might bo naturally expected. Van Alen has
received the price of bis contribution and
goes to Rome. The south is in the saddle ,
but what of the poor country ? The last
eight montns have been a record of bank
ruptcies , bank failures and disasters. Under
the throat of hostile legislation three-
fourths of the manufactories of the country
are closed. A million men who a year ago
found employment at good wages today are
idle or working on short time. The deluded
workmen who were induced to vote with
their natural enemies , the frco traders , arc
repenting around soup houses. The people
have awakened to n sense of the situation ,
as Is Miown by the result of the 7th of this
month. By their verdict they have de
clared 'that the democratic party is not to
bo trusted. The verdict in Ohio , where
the issue was so squarely made , shows
that the people nro in favor of the doctrine
of protection to American industries and
American laborers. No , the people have de
clared that they have no further use for , i
party whoso success Is so quickly followed
by the revival of anarchy in Illinois , an at
tempt to degrade the boncti in Now York ,
loss of credit and good name in Kansas and
stagnation of business and financial distress
throughout the country.

"Nebraska , in common with others , has
much upon -which to congratulate herself.
She did her part toward the grand result of
the 7th. She might even have done hotter.
She is a republican state by a largo majority.
Lot us aim to harmonize all the elements
that should naturally work with us. As was
done in the case of Judge Harrison , let's put
forward for oftlco men who command the re
spect of all , and when in oftlco lot the affairs

Brad D. Slaughter responded to the gov
ernor's welcome on behalf of the visitors
from out of the city. Ho complimented ivin-
coin for her enterprise , and said that Ne
braska felt proud of her capital city for the
reason thnt Lancaster county was never
found wanting when a glorious republican
victory was. needed. Ho thoa branched elf
into an eulogy of the republican party , call
ing attention to the marked difference in
the growth , prosperity and achievements of
the great republican states of the north as
compared with the democratic states of the
south. Wherever the country found prosperity -
perity and worldngmon's homos there it
found republicanism. Where the country
found Ignorance , poor white trash , and the
horse and cow Intoned together at the plow ,
whcro they raised more hell than corn ,
there It found democracy. Ho then read
telegrams of regret from Governor Jackson
of Iowa and Judge Harrison aud then intro
duced John L. Webster.

Mr. Webster took up his theme some
where prior to 1770 and pursued it all the
way down to Gresham's letter. Ho grouped
in a more or less effective way a galaxy of
the grandest names that glow from history's
pages , framed them with choice quotations
from poets and polemic writers and sot ns a
background to the whole a vivid picture of a
stage rida to the summit of the Rocky
mountains. This rida he likened to the rise
of the republican party ; the road , the diffl-
cultles over which the organization Had
boldly made Ha way ; the glorious vista from
the summit , the grandeur of the party's
achievements , and the huge peaks that stood
out in silent majesty were the leaders of thn
grand old party who had successfully guided
it to greatness. G rover Cleveland's election
was the reversal 01 the picture , the return
from the mountain heights through the
gloomy forests to the level plain of medi
ocrity. 1'Yom the results of the late olncllon
ho read a rebuke to the free trade element
of the dominant party in congress , and
prophesied a glorious return to power of the
republicans after the next election.
Mr , Webster amused the audience with'a
number ot stories and his remarks wcro
frequently interrupted wit i applause

Mr. Howe paid his respects to the demo
cratic party , charnctjnrlng Cleveland ns a
dictator who Ignored both branches of con
gress. The doinocratlo party , ho said ,
would redeem none of its platform pledges.
It might take the tariff off of molasses and
put it on sugar , or from eggs and place it on
poultry , but It dared not change any more
than the name of the McKlnloy bill.
Turning to the pension question , the
sptjakcr ascribed the result of the repub
lican victories in Now York , Ohio and Iowa
to the return of the veterans to the repub
lican party. Republican victory was made
possible in Nobrnsua only by the return of
10,000 soldiers' votes to the party. Young
men , ho said , did not realize what it cost In
blood to save the union nnd protect thu Hag.
He urged them not to cast their political
fortunes with the men who thlrty-threoyoars
ago sought to destroy the government. His
remarks wcro highly eulogistic of the union
soldiers and were received by marked
demonstrations of approval.

II. D. Estabrook was the next introduced ,
and ho caused a shout from the galleries by
saying that Lincoln was to be congratulated
on the fact that she'boro BO great a name ,
that she was so reliably rcpubllcin , and be
cause she had a republican newspaper.
Then Mr. Estabrook launched into his ad
dress , which was by all odds thu most
eloquent , the most polished and thu most witty
of the evening , lie alternately thrilled the
audience by his brilliant rounded periods ,
and convulsed them with his humorol's
references to" the plight of democracy. Ho
sat uown in a storm of applause , and in re
sponse to repeated and vehement calls for
more brought out another Durst of cheers
by remarking : "Gentlemen , you must ex
cuse mo. My name is not Senator Allen. "
Congressman Dave Mercer was next In
troduced as a republican who had been
elected in the Second district in spite of
TUP. OMAHA BUE. Ilo claimed that the
election of Judge Holcomb would have In
jured Nebraska to the extent of millions of
dollars and given her credit a blow from
which sbo would not have recovered for
many years. Mr. Mercer drew most of his
inspiration for his address from his observa
tions and experience in congress , laying
especial stress upon the Illegality of election
methods In the south.

The closing address of the evening was de
livered by Judge I. M. Lansing , the Singing
Pilgrim of Nebraska politics. .Tudgo Lan
sing Dears thu reputation of being the best ,
story teller in the state , and ho lost none of"
his reputation in his opening remarks. Ho
said in the serious part of his address that
during the last eight months the democratic
party "had been on trial on the charge of vici
ously assaulting American industry. The
idle workmen of the United States acting as
a Jury , had pronounced theVerdict of guilty.
The sentence would bo imposed in 1890 , when
the republican party would , cot-a bottle of
McKlnloy bitters and compel the democrats
to take it. ' '
This closed the program ; ' but there were
loud calls for Hon. J. -Tate , who occupied
a scat upon the stage. Hq responded to the
calls with a few brief rcmdrks and the cele

In Nouraikn ,
LINCOLN , Nov. 20. [ Special to Tun BEn.1
The supreme court mot In special session at
S3 o'clock this afternoon to hear the argu
ments of the opposing counsel In the case of
the State of Nebraska against J. K. Hill , ox-
state treasurer , and bis bondsmen. The
suit arose from the failure of the Capital
National bank of this city and was originally
brought lu the district court in and for'
Douglas county. When the court convened
thii afternoon there wac a lormldablo array
of local talent in waiting. The sVUo was
represented by Attorney General Hastings ,
Assistant Attorney General Summers. Hon.
13. Wakcioy of Omaha. The defense was
represented by Jutlpo Broady , who appeared
for ox-Treasurer 11111 , and T. M. Mnrquotto ,
J. II. Ames , C. O. Whedon , Griggs. Ulnakcr
& Hlbbs of Beatrice , Atkinson & Doty ,
Cowan & Mcllugh and G. H. Pritchett , nil
ot the latter appearing for the bondsmen.
As staled above , the case against the ox-
treasurer and his bondsmen was originally
brought in the district court of Douglas
county. The action was dismissed by Judge
Davis as being an action on an ofnctal bond ,
which , under section 51 of the code of civil
procedure , must bo commenced"in the county
where the action arose. The attorneys for
Iho state bring the case to the supreme
court on error.
Argiiinuiit of .luilRO AViiUelcy.
Iii his argument before the court Judge
Wakoley , who spoke for the state , made the
following points :
At the expiration of Treasurer Hill's term
of ofilce ho hnd in his hands the sum of
$1,4HSou.43 belonging to the state , nnd
which it was his duty to pay over to his
successor ; that ho failed to pay over or ac
count for that sum , or any part thereof , ex
cept that ho nalil nnd turned over some small
sums of money and certificates of deposit
which ho Induced his successor to accept in
plnce of the money ; and that although his
successor had realized moneys to some ex
tent upon such securities , Hill had failed nnd
refused to p.iy over or account for in any
manner whatever the sum of f3rtlyG4.00.
The failure of the treasurer to pay over
this money did not localize an action tncrc-
for in Lancaster county. It was a general
failure to pay It oxer at any tlmo or any
place. A petition merely alleging that ho
did not pay over the moocy in Lancaster
county would have boon domurrable. Tlicrc-
fore the cause of action did not arise in any
particular county.
Wnkclny'H Strong Point.
Judge Wnkcley laid great stress upon the
reading of section 174 of tlio revenue laws of
the state , which ho read to the court as follows - _
lows :
"Section 174. ( Jurisdiction and power of
court. ) When suit is instituted in behalf of
the state , it may bo in any court of record
In this state having jurisdiction of the
amount , and process may bo directed to any
county of the stato. It any proceeding's
against any ofllccr or person whoso duty it
is"to receive , collect , settle for or pay over
any of the rovenuss of the stixto
whether the proceedings bo brought by suit
on the bond of such ofltcer or person or
otherwise , the court in which such proceed
ings nro pending shall have power in a sum
mary way to compel such oftlccr or person
to exhibit on oath a full and fair statement
of all moneys by him collected or received ,
or which ouglit to , be settled or paid over ,
and to disclose all such matters and things
as may be necessary to a full understanding
of the case , and the court mav , upon hearing ,
give judgment for such sum or sums of
money as such officer or person Is liable in
law to pay. "
Controverted by tlio Defense.
, jln reply to the above arguments the at
torneys for the defense allege that section
174 of the revenue laws must bo read in con
nection with section 17l ! , which provides
that "upon the failure of any county treas
urer to make settlement with the auditor ,
the auditor shall sue the treasurer and
his sureties upon the bond of such treasurer ,
or sue the treasurer in such form as may bo
necessary , aud take all such proceedings ,
either upon such bond or otherwise , as maybe
bo necessary to protect the interests of the
stato. "
This section , taken in connection with sec
tion 174. allege the attorneys for the de
fense , refers exclusively to a suit brought
by the auditor for the state aud to suits
against county treasurers or county collect
ors. To sum up the argument of the defense -
fenso it may bo stated that they alleged
that the present action is not covered by
section 174 above quoted ; and that actions
brought by the state of Nebraska and not
by the auditor are not affected by sec
tion 174.
174.for a Concrcstmnn'g Arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Iloagland has n warrant
in his inside pocknt which calls for the
arrest of ono \V. A. McICcighan , member of
congress from the Fifth district of Ne
braska , and the distinguished gentleman
will be served with n copy of the document
as soon as ho conies witbin rctich of the
officer , providing , of course , that ho doosnot
avail hinibclf of his rights of oxompton ,
accorded to all members of congress by the
constitution of the United States.
A. L. Hooverono of the proprietors of the
Hotel Lindell of this city , went before
Deputy County Attorney Collins this after
noon and swore out a complaint against
Congressman McICcighnn , charging him
with unlawfully , and with intent to cheat
and defraud , procuring board and lodging
without rendering a fair equivalent in cash
for the samo.
The complaint recites that McKelglmn
remained at the iJmlell from Junuarv 4
until February SJ ! ( , 18113 , and during that
tlmo neglected to pay the charges against
him , although no contract implied or other
wise was made for any credit whatsoever.
Judge Lansing issued the warrant upon the
complaint this afternoon and it was placed
in the hands of Deputy Sherilf Hougland for
service ,
Concressman McKrighan came to Lincoln
last winter and remained hero during the
senatorial contest. Ho hud a suite of rooms
at the Lindell nnd considered himself as one
of the candidates for United States senator.
The complaint Is made through no political
motives. The Messrs , Hoover , proprietors
of the hotel , stato.that they only want what
is honestly duo them and have only adopted ,
extreme measures after everything clso has
fulled.
