( alii to state that Tattooed Tom has failed
fntlrely to reply to the pertinent questions
put to him by Ihe people of Nebraska. He
asierta that Mr. Hosewater rehashed the
Btalo charges against Lieutenant Governor
Majors , with which he has filled hla colQ
uninn In Ihe present campaign ; but he falls
to state that the charges arc stale and un
palatable only to Tattooed Tom and his
time-serving supporters , and that abso
lutely no honest attempt has been mode lo
disprove them.
The people of Nebraska are not to be de
ceived by the dust raised by the managers of
the present effort to place a dishonest man
In the governor's chair. They will still stick
to their text. They will ask that the charges
against Tattooed Tom be cither dlsprovcn or
admitted. The innocence of a criminal on
trial for his shortcomings Is not established

cuting attorney by the lawyer tor the de

MAKING II. & M. VOTKIIS.
While not engaged In disseminating false-
hoodN against the men who are courageous
enough to pay that a man branded from one
end of the state to the other ns a , pliant tool
of the railroads , as a dishonest man In his
financial dealings with the state , as a con
victed falsifier of census returns , shall not
bo elected governor of Nebraska by their
votes , the campaign managers are turning
their attention to another branch of pure
statesmanship. From now on until after
election every mile of 13. & M. roadbed In
Nebraska will need the most careful scrutiny
of large numbers ot additional section hands.
The new II & M. extension from Sheridan to
Hillings hag been completed Just in the nick
of time and several thousand men. have be n
released from employment In Montana. Hut
Iheso thousands are badly needed In Ne
braska , and they nre being Judiciously distrib
uted along HIP line of the U. & M. In Ne
braska where their votes will do the most
good. It will not do to bring these men to
the cities like Omaha and Lincoln , where
they would bo compelled to register and
thus be liable lo detection ; but these men
are being distributed In the small towns all
over the sta'c , where the presence of three
or four additional men on the section gangs
will hardly bo noticed. This system will
add several thousand voters to the Majors
column , and every one of the men Imported
from the Montana extension will vote for
the tattooed candidate , unless the honest
m.en In every little community in the state
MO upon the alert. It Is also likely that
an effort will be"made to Import voters from
the Council llluffs side of the river. Several
well known II. & M. superintendents in
this stale have already acquired proficiency
In the management of the gravel train vote
and .their services will be In lively demand
on election day.
It Is by such dishonest and disgraceful
tactics that Ihe railroad and allied corpora
tions hope to thrust an objectionable candi
date down the throats ot the honest people
of Nebraska. Personal vllllllcatlon In pro
fusion and dishonest election methods , but
not a word In defense of the serious charges
of corruption and dishonesty upon the part
of the republican cand.date. Honest men
nro maligned In order that dishonest men
may be elected to office. Honest business
men combine to make It possible for dls
honest business men to loot the state treas
ury. Fortunately , the honesty of tha people
Is still true to the cause ot good government ,
and the cause of good government will
ultimately triumph.

CHICAGO. Oct. 20. ( Special Telegram. )
President Henry W. Yates of the Nebraska
National bank surprised thu local bankers at
the banuuet of the Bankers' club , given at
Kinsley's tonight , with the declaration that
though ho had been a democrat for thirty
years he thought the welfare of the state was
In question und he would vote the republican
ticket from top to bottom at the coming elec
tion.
Comptroller of Currency James II. Eckels
and J. Kdward Simmons of the Fourth Na
tional bank of New York , both democrats ,
were the guests of honor. They probably did
not relish Mr. Yules' declaration. Nearly
every prominent local banker waa there and
n majority upplauded the Omaha batiker'H
declaration.
Mr. Yates said In part : "Owing to the
ambition of ono of our young politicians , a
largo portion of our people have been carried
aver to that mongrel conglomeration of poli
ticians known as the people's party. I
don't know what the people's party Is In
Illinois , but In the south tboy pose ns repub
licans , while In Nebraska they have put up
an entire ticket under the heading of tlin
democrats. Now these people , or this party ,
is llablo to advocate any wild and Impractical
nchcmo. I do not suppose there Is a better
democrat living than I. I have voted the
democratic ticket 'for thirty years , but this
year I propose to vote the republican ticket
straight through. I propose to vote
against very member whu IK a candidate for
the legislature , though I have been threat
ened that this action would make enemies.
nut , I consider the welfare of my state Is
at slake and I propose lo do as I have said
and trust there will be thousands of sound
democrats like myself to do the same. "
Ills remarks were greeted with applause
and when U subsided Mr. Yates spoke on
the money question. He salj the mainten
ance ot a gold standard was absolutely nee-
canary to the welfare of this country. He
did not Ililnk that the bankers would endorse
tha Daltlmoro plan , except perhaps Its un
derlying principles , and was against the
Issuance of moro flat money. There were
In existence more than $1,000,000.000 worth
of notes agtfiiBt a reserve HO small that a
hanker with no larger relative surplus would
ha forced to shut up shop.

Startling Schema that Das Developed in
the South Dakota Campaign ,
HURON ( IS REACHING FOR .THE . CAPITOL

SIOUX CITY , Oct. 20. ( Special. ) Ono of
the greatest political sensations that the
state of South Dakota has ever known has
been started by rumors that have leaked out
within the past tew days that at the next
session of the legislature an attempt will be
made to move the capital from Plerro to
Huron. The latter town Is nearly 200 miles
cast of the former and was very anxious to
secure the capital when the state was ad
mitted nearly ( Ivo years ago. It U expected
that the fight will he complicated with the
senatorial contest nnd that there will be
developments of the most startling character
before the affair I * at an end. .
Kvery effort has been made to keep the
matter n secret , but the politicians who have
been passing through the city at short Inter
vals for some time past on their way from
ono part of the state to another on business
connected with the furtherance of the scheme
have discussed It more or less freely , and
the result Is that hero at least the details
of'the story are becoming pretly well known.
When the location of the capital at 1'lcrre
was decided on , soon after the admission of
the state , Watertown , Madison , Uedfleld ,
Pierre , Huron and even Sioux Falls were
very anxious to secure it. I'ierrc and Huron
were the only towns which were really In the
race , however , and the fight betwen them was
very bitter. Pierre had at the tlmo a popu
lation of nearly 5,000. it was at the height
of the boom period , and the citizens staked
their all upon the result of the fight. They
strained every nerve , plunged the town
deeply in debt , nnd finally won. The load
of debt which had been accumulated proved
the ruin of the place , however. Within six
months from the date of tlio election the
boom collapsed , and the population Is now
barely 3,000. The town Is without commer
cial or manufacturing resources and there
seems to be little prospect of Improvement ,
HURON IS COMING AGAIN.
Huron , on Iho other hand , although It
stood still for n time after losing the capital
tight , Is now beginning tb show signs of re
turning prosperity , and already manifests
an Inclination to renew the contest with Its
old rival. At the last session of the legisla
ture a bill was Introduced providing for the
removal of the capital fem I'ierro to Huron.
At first It seemed to stand a good chance of
success , " but the refusal of the representatives
from Ucadlo county , In which the latter place
Is located , to support the antl-prohlbitlonlsts
in their fight against the state liquor law an
tagonized the liquor men and caused the
loss of the measure.
It Is now understood that a combination
lias been formed between tlio promoters of
the capital removal scheme nnd the nlack
Hills politicians , who have hitherto opposed
the proposition , by which the Huron men
agree to support Colonel Davis of Laurence
county , the Hills candidate , for the senator-
Rhlp In the coming campaign on condition
that the Hills men Join them In their plan.
The counties In the eastern part of the state
liavo always been friendly toward Ihe removal
scheme , and with the assistance of the Hills
representatives it is hardh possible for it
to fall.
The residents ot Pierre are desperate at
the thought of losing the capital now , and
are doing their best to effect some arrange
ment by which they can defeat the scheme.
They also urge that as Plerro is named In
the constitution as the capital , the only
uctlon which the legislature can take Is to
submit the question to another vota of the
people. A few even maintain that without
violating the constitution the removal cannot
bo made at all. The Huron men have con
sulted the best constitutional lawyers In the
state , however , and are satisfied that the
legislature cnn make the change If It sees fit.
It Is certain that the Issue will be raised
at any rate , and that there will be a des
perate fight before It Is settled cither way.

Hot Fight on tlio Iti'Miilt of Which a Sotl-

SIOUX FALLS , S. I ) . , Oct. 20. ( Special. )
The political conundrum Which party will
capture the legislature ? Is the thing South
Dakota politicians are tumbling over each
other to solve. That the complexion of that
body will not be so deeply tinged with repub
licanism as In 1S ! > 2 Is cvMent. That year
fully four-fifths of the entire legislature was
republican , and In that year only one or two
counties In the state sent fusion candidates.
In 1890 there were eighteen counties where
the democrats and republicans fused , and one
county , Sully , where the democrats failed to
put up a ticket. In that session , after much
scrapping and unseating of republicans by
the demo-pop combination , the republicans
were left one vote In the minority. That
was senatorial year , and the democr.Ua
and populists together elected J. Fl. Kyle to
the senate. This year there Is fusion be
twecn the democrats and populists In the fol
lowing counties : Yankton , Mlnnehaha , lion
Honime. Douglas. Aurora , Ilrule , Faulk , Cod
Ington , Roberts , McPherson , Edmunds , Wai
worth , Meade , Uutte , Pennlngton and Charles
Mix 10. Against one or two counties in 1S1 > 0
where this democrats failed to put up a ticket ,
there are this year eleven such , as follows :
Union. Davlson , Lake , Sanborn , Jcrauld ,
lluffalo , Ilrocklngs , Iteadle. Clark , Splnk.
Grant and Clay. This neglect on the part
of the democrats lo put up legislative tick
ets makes an Important question of which
party will the majority of these tlcketlesa
democrats vote with ? The republicans are
Hure of a majority In the legislature , and the
populists are just as sure of winning the
light. Doth sides , however , seem to think
It very necessary to keep at work , as the best
speakers of both parties are busy stumping
the state.
Without .1 doubt the hottest of the fight Is
In this county , Mlnnehuha , and particularly
this city , the homeof Senator Pcttlgrow
Every known string Is being pulled by the
republicans to place and keep Senator Peltl-
grow high In the favor of the voters , for II
Is understood that should the republicans get
control of the legislature Senator Pettlgrew
is to succeed himself. On the other hand ,
the combined forces of the democrats and
populists are earnestly striving to Injure tha
senator's chances of success. No one wll
as yet undertake to guess what the
result In this county will be.
Tha democrats nnd populists have
also fused on the county ticket in tills
county. While the bitterest contest Is ever
the leglRlutlvo llokct , the tight for county
otllcea is very spirited and the outcome un
certain. The prohibition county convention
called for yesterday , was held , there be
Ing not over twenty present. Some ot Ihe
moro radical ones urged that a ticket bo put
up , but the conservative clement carried tlio
day , and no nominations were made.

CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Oct. 20. ( Special. )
One of the most Interesting and vigorous
political campaigns ever waged In South Da
kota Is uow In progress , and will not termi
nate until the polls close on the evening of
November 6. The democrats are making an
unusually strong fight , with the Intention of
rolling up , It possible , their customary vole
of about 18,000 m the state. Here and there
they also expect to elect members ot the
legislature , and thus hold Ihe balance of
power should the populists succeed In pre
venting the republicans from securing : a
clear majority on joint ballot In that body.
The fact that a successor lo Senator Pelil-
grew Is to be elected by the legislature next
winter makei tue legislative fight exceedingly
bitter. The opposition to Ihe republicans is
using : every ineana lo capture the legislature
and thereby prevent the election of a repub
lican as Pettlgrew'i successor. The popullils
are waging a school house campaign , and
have a number ot speakers constantly on tli °
stump In ev ry county In the state. What
they will accmpllsli U uncertain , and this
fart renders It Impossible * to make a predic
tion with any degree of accuracy as to the
outcome of the present campaign. On the
other hand , tl'e republicans are conducting
one ! of their old-time enthusiastic campaigns
and are looking forward with confidence to
the result of the battle ot ballots two weeks
tlfl
from next Tuesday. They have hntl two or
three noted outside speakers deliver ad
dresses ( In different portions of the state , and
the good results are already beginning to be
felt. The principal caus * of uneasiness at
present on the part of republicans arises
from the defection of the Scandinavian vote.
Hut at Ihe worst this wilt only affect the
vote on governor. The Scandinavians profess
to feel aggrieved toward Governor Sheldon
tor what they term the slighting of their
nationality in the matter of state appoint
ments , nnd Ihe governor Is certain to lose
tli ? votes of many nf these people , Hut It Is
almost certain that those of the Scandi
navians who vote against Sheldon will cast
their ballots for James A. "Ward , the demo
cratic nominee , thus putting their votes "In
the nluo hole. " to use a slang phrase. It
this disaffected vote should go to the populist
nominee it would be a hard matter for Shel
don to be re-elected. Hut as U Is , there Is
nractlcully little doubl that Sheldon will
be his own successor. To sum It up , dis
interested politicians here , who nre usually
well posted , predict that the republican state
ticket , with the except on of governor , will
have from 5,000 to 7,000 plurality , and this
may run up to 10.000. Sheldon will receive
a smaller veto than the others on the stats
ticket , but M-I1I still have enough to elect
him by a comfortable plurality. The fight
for j the legislature will be too close for com
fort , and It need not. surprise the politicians
of the slate If the legislature Is last to the
republicans , as was the case In 18'JO. when
James It. Kylp , populist , was elected United
Statss senator lo succeed .Gideon C. Moody.

"I came here at the Invitation of the to-
lubllcan committee of Louisiana to address
ou upon a public question ol great national
niportance , which concerns alike not only
ho prosperity of your section , state or lo-

f 103 years , there have been forty-seven
oars when n. democratic revenue tariff pl-
cy has prevailed , tmd flfty-six under the
protective policy , and a noteworthy fact Is
hat the most progressive nnd prosperous per-
ods of our history were during the years
rhen the protective party was In control
nd protective tariffs were maintained , and
he most disastrous years were during the
reo trade or revenue tariff periods of oilr
ilstory. The foreign market for agricultural
iroductlons Is one of the delusions of free
rade. If It ever had any real substance as
[ gainst a good homo market that has long
Ince disappeared. We have free trade among

ly , one country. Wo are one nation , have

"You need no assurances of the devotion oi
the republican party to nil the material In

years of sectional prejudice , moved by no
other consideration than the good of the

sacredly guarded the smallest as well as the

"My fellow countrymen , the question o :
the tariff Is a business question. In the

The democratic county central committee
void a special meeting yesterday afternoon ,
commencing at 3 o'clock and continuing until
C:30. : After a report ot the financial comll-
lon ot the committee , Chairman Miller made
a statement In regard , lo the promises of the
llffcrent aspirants for olllce , and the report
was unanimously accepted by the committee.
Then there was a discussion In regard to
vhat the committee should do to induce
he populist candidates ta withdraw from the
cglslatlvo ticket. A messenger brought the
jews that a special committee from the pop-
illst central committee was In waiting and
lud a proposition to make lo the central com-
nlttee. A ppccinl committee was appointed
from the democratic bcxly to confer with the
ijpullsts , and an hour later the meeting was
called to order again to listen to the proposi
tions.
They were to the effect that If the demo
crats would place one populist on the sena
torial ticket the populists would endeavor to
get the other legislative candidates to with
draw. The democratic candidates for state
senator proved nil satisfactory to the com-
inltteo and thjs proposition did not meet
with favor. The report of the special com
mittee was read , nnd after general discussion
no action was taken , but the whole matter
was put over until next Tuesday evening at
j o'clock.
Dr. I'eaboily spoke before the committee
la behalf of the populists , but his remarks
were not entirely endorsed by ttie two other
populist members In the room. The gen-
jral sentlmert among the democratic mem
bers was that the populists pull urt all can-
lldates for office In the county. In order to

SUPI3KIOH. Neb. . Oct. 20. ( Special. )
John L. Webster spoke at the barbecue here
his afternoon. There was a large crowd
irescnt. Mr. Webster said :
"Thero Is not ono patriotic thing in the
eglslatloii of the last session ot congress.
No , not one. The last democratic national
convention , that nominated CJrover Cleveland
'or president , contained two threats that
were n menace to the wealth and prosperity
ot the country. One was the threat of free
trade , and the other was the threat of free
and unlimited coinage of silver. Hcforo the
ast session of congress had convened these
two threats had destroyed one-half the In
come from the wheat crop of the United
States. It reduced the value of wheat from
! 1 a bushel to two bushels for $1. These two
threats had entered the domain of livestock
and had destroyed every vestige- profit In
: hat Industry. These two threats confiscated
: ialf the values of the farm lauds over 3,000-
)00 ) square miles of territory. These two
; hreats had shut down factories , had broken
banks , had ruined thousands of bright busi
ness men and had turned a million of men ,
.vomon . and children out of employment.
"Congress convened and the Mo threats
continued , and the devastation and the de
struction of American Interests continued.
Hunger and poverty began reaching out their
Kiunt arms and encircling them around
liundreds and thousands In every city In the
land. The hard granite floors of the city
liall in Chicago became the nightly bed of
thousands , and the cold stone steps the
freezing place of hundreds ot others. The
M up houses became the democratic dining
Imlls. Thousands of really honest and hard
: olllng laboring men were forced Into Idleness
and compelled lo acci-pt this chilling nnd com
fortless charliy. What occurred in Chicago
occurred In Illto manner In every other city
In the union. Hut this was not all of it.
There came n TeelltiR of unreat and disquiet.
Indicating an undercurrent of disturbance
that promised volcanic eruption. Hunger
coupled Itself with discontent , and from the
union of the two sprang the Commonweal
armlea. Coney and Kelly were not enviable
characters , but they were living pictures of
llui danger that these two threats of the
democratic platform were forcing to the sur
face of American politics.
"These had scarcely faded away when
there came Iho coal strikes of West Virginia
and Ohio. These had not been subdued when
came the. railroad strike of Chicago. The
like of this had never been known during the
thirty years of republican rule. The former
Blrlke at Homestead bore no stronger com
parison to Ibis than a Nebraska summer
zephyr bears to the destructive power of a
Kansas cyclone. Hut this was not all of It.
The commercial agencies of Dun and Ilrml-
Htreet have reported thai the destruction to
business and shrinkage of values reached
the inromprclieiiBlve sum of $12.000.000.000.
or a sum nearly equal to four times the na
tional debt at tlio close of the war of the
rebellion , and still this financial destruction
continues.
'Truly It may bo said these two threats ,
of free trade and free silver , have brought
more suffering and hardship , more devas
tation and waste , than all the wars ami
famines in this country since the Declara
tion of Independence. And still congress con
tinued to talk of free trade and free silver
to the hour of Its adjournment. The first
act of Its legislation was to strike a blow
at free and legal elections , by the repeal
ot all federal election laws. The committee
on elections in their report said : 'Let every
trace of the reconstruction measures be wiped
[ rom the statute books. It put the
southern states under the control of
state laws like that of Alabama , of which
Sayre said : 'It neutralizes to a great ex-
lent the curse of the fifteenth amendment ,
the blackest crime ot the nineteenth cen
tury. '
In the debate , Congressman Talbert of
South Carolina nald : 'Our struggle has been
styled the lost cause. It may have been
lost , but It was the cause of liberty. If
some are not ready to give liberty to us , we
are ready to fight again. We are ready to
give black men their rights , but this
Is a white man's country , and white men
must and shall rule It. ' Uut enough. Was
this repi-al of the federal election laws pa-
Irlollc ? The conscience of the nineteenth
centurv answers no.
Thc'n came the new tariff law , framed on
free trade principles. It Is a law to en
courage Iho grealcr Importation ol foreign
made goods in competition with home made
goods. It Js a law to give employment to
more men abroad , and to fewer men at homo.
It Is a law to add to the enforced Idleness
nnd distress of American worklngmen. It
la a law to furnish to the consumer English
made goods , to the displacement of Amer
ican made goods. II Is a law that has met
the disapproval of the leaders of the parly
that framed It and enacted It. II has been
denounced by the democratic leader of the
south as 'A mongrel piebald of patches and
pusillanimity , a grotesque hodgepodge of
pretense and pettifogging , a nomlcbcrpt
abortion of Inconipctcncy. selfishness , cow
ardice and treachery as the outcome. ' It
was denounced In congress by Hartcr of
Ohio : 'If passed und branded as a demo
cratic measure It will stamp us us a lot of
Imbeciles , and our managers In both houses
as drivelling Idiots. '
Senator Mills said of it : 'It Is the most
remarkable measure that has ever found
Itself on the pages of the statute book of any
country. * I make bald to say hero
today that that bill does not rcllect the senti
ment of 1.000 people of the United States. '
Ilurko Cockran said of It : 'If It will not
Increase the receipts of our custom house by
a vast stimulus of business at our seaports ,
then our theories are false , our pledges art'
false , our conclusions are false ; then we must
confess that our agitation for tariff reform
was n campaign for power and ulllce rather
th.in a patriotic struggle to improve the con
dition of the people. '
'Two ' years have gone by Inco that plat
form was adopted which declared for free
trade , and yet Iho exports of American pro
ducts have been Increasing nl the rate of
moro llian $100.000,000 n year. Secretary
Carlisle reported to the Ri-nato of the United
States that If this new tariff law was
adopted it would create a deficiency of 130-
000.000 annually In the face of living facts
and unparalleled distress , ran surh a tariff
measure be patriotic ? The votes of the
hungry and the Idle working men nt the coinIng -
Ing election will answer It , NO.
"Then caine the great trusts ; the ( ill Irtist ,
the conl trusl , Iho Iron trust , tind whisky
trust and the sugar trust , nnd stretched their
Hrlarlan arms around the congress , and in
traduced Into the bill such amendments a
put $20,000.000 Into the treasury of the
whisky trust , and $25,000.000 Into the treas
ury of the sugar trutl. Then came th tax
on sugar of10 per rent , n * tribute to bo
exacted from every household In the land ,
lo fill up the deficiency of the treasury to
allow this free trade hobby to live. At such
a critical tlmo In Industrial America Is such
a tax patriotic ? The anti-trust people will
answer , NO. Within a month past the elec

WASHINGTON , Oct. 20. The new armf
regulations are rapidly Hearing completion.
Three-fourths ' of the entire work has been
approved by General Schollohl. The balanca
l likely to ho passed on by him within thu
next two or three weeks. It remains thoti
only to have Iho entire work approved by
Iho secrelary ot war , The advanced slawo ot
Ihe work makes it probable that the now
volume will be ready for distribution before
Iho close of Ihe year ,
The now regulations are regarded as qulto
Important , as the new tactics embrace the
common law of the army , based on experi
ence , orders of the president nnd of tlui War
department , laws of congress , etc. They cover
all questions ot military discipline , rank ana
precedence , appointments nnd promotions ,
uniforms and equipments , furloughs , deser
tions , post canteens , ceremonies , pay and
allowances , flags , music , und the Innumerable
formalities which govern every branch of an
army life. Indirectly , also , the regulations
are awaited with much Interest by the mil-
Ilia and national guard , as the state troops
adopt the government regulations ns well as
the tactics.
The War department has taken the gre teat
oat care In preparing the new regulations ,
A board of three veteran offlcers , Colonels
Corbln , Oil more and Uabcock , now serving
ns assistant adjutant generals , were detailed
lo supervise the work. Lieutenant French ,
who- had recently completed his service as
recorder In preparing the new Infantry , cav
alry and artillery tactics , was given inimo-
dlalo charge of the work of evolving Iho
regulations from the mass of material orders ,
laws , customs , eta With a force of clerks
he has been at work for months. The board
IMS frequently mot to Inspect , change or approve -
provo the compilations. General Schoflehl
has also gone over each step of the work.
and thus the new book has been subjected to
the most rigid scrutiny.
Tha regulations will embody the experi
ence of about 100 years of army life. Ilaron
Stcuban , n German nobleman , who was the
drillmaster of our revolutionary troops , made
the first regulations , but they were very
crude and a part of the tactics. In 1821
General Winllcld Scott prepared the tlrst
systematic act ot regulations , and they have
since served' ' as a basis to be built upon ,
modified nnd enlarged. Successive presi
dents have made changes , as necessity arises.
The War department Issues general orders
every day , applying mainly lo specifications ,
but often establishing precedents for the
entire army. All this material was dlgeslod
In IBS ! and again In 1889 , hut the dally ar
dors of the last five years have required thi >
new volume.
Care has been taken to base the regula
tions strictly upon the text of orlglnai or
ders , laws , etc. , so that the personality ot
the revises might not find expression. This
has freed the hook from all appearance ot
being a text book of views and observations
of those who have done the work , and has
confined It to a succinct statement of actual
orders and laws , with the language literally
preserved as freely ns possible. The book
will cover about 275 pages , including an
elaborate Index ot reference and cross rot-
rence.
