No. Just as soon on the time approached

"So Iho Issue Is not a now one. The same
struggle occurred Iti Iowa a few years ago
and nlso In Illinois. In these states today
th 'dl crlmlnatlons ot which the people of
Nebraska complain do not exist.
"f have spoken particularly of the rail
road corporations because- they nre the larger ,
liut th'oro Is the same disposition on the part
of the smaller corporations to set themselves
above the laws. Our troublu lias been
lirotight on by our own folly. It has become
so common to grant franchises to any person
of "persons ( for I have Tuiown them to 1 ?
granted to a single person ) and give them
anS power they ask , that we nnd ourselves
tlexl hand and foot. The- time lias come to
stop , When these persons obtain these
valuaUla franchises they at once Imagine
thnt llioy are relieved 'irom obligation to obey
Iho law. tint they arc relieved rf all obligations
to humanity nnd relieved of nil responsibility
to Individuals. They hide behind the charters
wo have given them and if complained of
cast the whole blame upon thu myth called
Iho corporation. Wo have granted too many
franchises and privileges and wo have come
to the point now where wo propose to stop.
( Applause. ) The contest between the people
and the corporations is the foundation of the
IssueIn this campaign. This Is the reason
why the railroads , banks , franchise ) ! corpora
tions and stock yards have cmnblned to fight
us , H Is a fight to the death , but the people
are going to win. ( Applause. ) These cor
porations rcallzo that the time has cement
nt last when the manhood ot the common
people Is about to assert Itself and they are
roused to make the light of their lives. It
makes my blood boll when I read of the
action of theHO corporations. The time has
been too long In this state when we have
been owned by the railroads. Thank God ,
wo have been growing stronger. For years
wo Imve been nt their mercy. They scattered
their favors where they pleased and denied
tUcm wherever they choie. They have come
to ttto end and "from " this tlmo on the peopla
of Nebraska propose to rule.

"I" want to say something about the man
ner In which the Issues raised by the- people
In the present campaign have been met.
The members of the Business Men asso
ciation say they oannot trust nn honest man.

' afrnlil If Judge Hol

comb Is elected eastern money will not come
In hero to compete with them. Their pre
text has not oven the merit of selfishness.
It Is mere subterluce. and the lalsest kind
of pretense. When you ask a man to loan
you money ho does rot ask you what your
politics arc. Ho asks nhont your collateral.
Everyone ot the men prominently connected
with the Business Men's association Is con
nected with some of the frnnchlsed corpora-
tolns. Will you submit to the dictations of
these franchlsed corporations ? ( Cries of
" " "No. "
"No. )
The time Is short , and I do not wish to
detain you with a lengthy sjwcch. 1 desire
now to give way to Judge Holcomb. the
candidate for governor. "
Judge Holcomb was then introduced by
the chairman , and was. greeted with ap
plause , which Brew Into a welcoming cheer
as Iho leader of the people's light advanced
to the. front of the rostrum. Judge Hoi-
comb's speech was an earnest and effective
presentation of the Issue of the campaign , and
was punctuated throughout with frequent
evidence of approbation , Ho said In sub
stance :
AT THE PAKTING OF THE WAYS.
"This Is the second time that I have had
the pleasure of appearing before an Intelli
gent Omaha audience In this place , and 1
wish to express the hope that it I should
cvor appear here again I may merit the
hearty reception and greeting that I have
received on this occasion. I am proud of
the support I am receiving- from the honest.
Intelligent and straightforward business men.
In whatever calling they may be. ' This Is a
campaign In which the Is uc la plain. Everyone
eryoneI have met seems tq realize It , Some
ono'has said that we are at the parting of
the ways. I am compelled to believe that
this Is true , and that on the Cth day'of
November It will b decided that the people
shall rule and not the corporations.
"Tho true object of all good government Is
the protection of the masses of the people ,
and I stand before the people of Nebraska
as the exponent of that good government
which Is for all the people. On the Oth day
ot November you will designate who shall
have the authority to make and execute your
laws fop the next two years. You must
! remember thnt at thnt time you nro to de
& termine the policy and course of the govern
ment In this state , and when you have done
this there will bo no appeal from your de
cision for at least two years to come. You
should view the question honestly and fairly ,
and then decide according- your best con
victions.
"Tho convention of my party at Grand
Island did mo the honor to put my name at
the head of their ticket , and I wish to say
to these who have given me a good deal of
free , advertising within the past few days.
who have maligned and vilified me , that
there were twenty-four men In that conven
tion who knewmo llko a book who Insisted ,
Tiut through no wish of mine , that my name
should go before that convention , and the
lelogatcs from the surrounding ; count es came
forward as one man and said that I should
accept the nomination.
"Later on another convention -was held I.
and In- this very .hall , by the democratic
party of the state. There my iiamo was
brought forward as a suitable candidate to
occupy the same placo. on their ticket which I
waa given mo In the convention of my own
party. It was said by William J. Bryan ,
who presented my name , that they would
serve their party best who nerved the people
best and they would servo the people best
by giving me the nomination. So the Issue
Is now before the people , I have- never been
In politics much. Only once before was I
In a state campaign as a candidate , and
that was In a. judicial campaign In which
there was not the enthusiasm and Interest
which la around us this fall. But since I
have been In this campaign and since I
have Matched tha action of our opponents , I
have been wondering whether there wore no
other state offices to be filled except that
of governor. I have felt somewhat grieved
because none at the other candidates seem
to be receiving much attention , while my
opponent and myself have been receiving
more than wo are entitled to.
ItAILHOADS ALONE FIGH INO HIM.
"Md now I wish to say a It v words on
what I believe to ba the Issue In this cam
paign , I am not hero tonight to dixcuss
party politics , as related to national Issues ,
but I simply want to speak to you as a. citi
zen of Nebraska on the conditions which
confront us In thla campaign. There Is
afi 'organization In your city which calls
itself the Business Men's association , that is
Allying Itself with the opposite , party. By
that I do not mean to sar tha republican
pqrty , for I don't believe the republicans are
fighting ma very hard. I feel that the fight
Is between myself and the railroads , and I

feel somewhat complimented at finding my
self In thin position.
"I remember of hearing a itorjr of a time
when ( lipfe wore 6tily thirteen stars In our
lla . Tha first vessel that went back over
tli9 seas la Eneland after our Independence
was declared bore as ono of III passengers a
llttlo hump-hacfctd boy. As ho landed at
Liverpool a burly British sailor Bald to him ,
'Kay , bub , what Is that you tmve on your
back. ' 'Why. that Is Hunker Hill , ' un
dauntedly repllni ] the young American. tn
tills campaign I feel something llko this
hump-hackee ) boy. I feel that 1 am accept
ing a position that represents the rights and
liberties of fieetnen and t am proud oC the
dlttlnct on.
"As I vew , It. tlio Hiifllncss Men's associa
tion Is a sort of branch of the railroad party
not the republican party , as 1 want to keep
theill tlnctlm In view as I go along. If
you will analyze this cry of no-called busi
ness Interests you will linil that It emanates
from those who nre selfishly opposed to
loghlatlon that might be for the benefit of
the people. So they are aiding the railroads
In carrying on the campaign. They don't
dare to .come uofora the paoplo and tell them
why It Is that my election would Injure the
business Interests of the state. They have
jumped to' that conclusion without giving
any reason a : a basis for their position and
have spread It lirnadcaat 08 an established
fact , that It J am elected governor the In-
torcsts of the .state will suffer. They In-
slniuto that there will be some dishonest net
Fontrwhera that will Imperil these Interests.
Ju.it let them tell its where the ill-honesty
comes In and we will join hands with thorn ,
for wo are all mix ous to preserve the busi
ness Interests of our state. tint they won't
do this. They are trying to make political
cipltnl out of the business Interests of Ne-
braska-and of Its fair name , but the honest
and upright cltbens who , love justice and
a fair adniln'.itrallon of the laws are coming
out and declaring Hut this Is a false cry , In
vented to deceive and intimidate the people.
"If the physicians and tfie druggists and
the undertakers and the sextons of your
city should band themselves together to ad
vance tholr common Interests It would bo
noressary for all good citizens to look out or
they would soon bs nut of business them
selves , It Is a good deal the same way
with this alleged Iluslness Men'sassociation. .
"If there is any oua thing that will bring
out all the Hunker Hill that Is an American
citizen it Is to have a lot ot men band them
selves together and try to dictate how they
shall vote. The purity of the ballot box
must bo preserved. Undue Influence must
bo kept In the rear , The people cannot afford
to Indorse'-'an Issue of this kind. Talk nbout
class legislation ; tbero Is nothing that Is
better calculated tn array class , against class
than to have ono body of men say to the
people 'our * way l&J-he right one and you must
walk la it or your business will suffer. "
. KAIL HO AD DICTATION.
"And now I want to say a few things in
regard to the railroads. I do not wish to be
understood as saying that anything should
be done which might Injure thcso Interests.
They era , on tit led to protection Just as every
other Interest Is. entitled to protection.Hut
when they encroach on the liberties of the
people the people have the right to have laws
made for their viwn protection Our constitu
tion says that the legislature shall pass laws
to correct abuses and to prevent extortions
and oj.her Injuslj practices on the part of any
railroad or telegraph or telephone company
doing business In the state. There is no
desire to array the corporations against- the
people Indicated In saying that the laws shall
bo enforced and the rights of the people pro
tected. Wo ought disabuse our minds df
the Impression that because a person stands
*
upon a public rostrum and says he Is In
favor of proper legislation on this subject
he Is a demagogue or Is advocating legislation
that Is unjust to anyone. It was not until
the last legislature that a taw was ever
placed on the statute books relating * to this
matter , although this question has been
fought over In Nebraska for the past twcnty-
flvQ years. Finally , a wlso and Just law was
passed , ono which promised relief to the-
people and at the same time protected tha
rights of the railroads in every
particular. There was thrown around
It every sa'/eguard / that wisdom
and caution could suggest. It passed
both houses of the legislature , and in spite
of the enormous pressure- that was brought
to bear .to jnduco the governor to vote it , he
afDxed his .signature and It became a law.
Hut we have been urtablS to realize anything
on it up to the present time , and now we
see a struggle goingon all over this state
tjo uphojd , those.wlio , , twlil that this rate lav
is good' and Should be 'enforced , and that if
It Is declared void by the supreme court one
should bo passed , that Is good and the people
given the relief they have waited for so long.
"Until this campaign I liad nib Idea of the
enormous power that Is wielded by the rail
rends of this state. I have met hundreds of
men within the past few weeks who have
told me that personally they were In favor of
the pnnclples which I represented , but that
they didn't dare to say much about It. Is It
not a. serious condition of affairs when there
Is a citizen of Nebraska who cannot come
out openly and above board and declare what
his political convictions arc without losing
IIH | position ? Out I declare , and I say It
boldly , that these cc-ndltlQns do exist all over
Nebraska today. Wo are now to determine
whether the people br tuelr sovereign right
shall govern or whether a tew shall have the
power to dictate to the many. I leave , this
qucsttoa with you. I only ask that when
this election day arrives every citizen shall go
to the poll a and cast his : ballot 0.1 he consci
entiously believes Is for the best Interests of
thU fair state. "

LINCOLN , Oct. 27. ( Special. ) The man-
daimm case of Secretary Kdgcrtou ot the
populist state central committee against the
secretary of state concerning the present
form of the state ballot , c.ime up in the
Lancaster county district court this morning
at 11:20 : before Judges Hall nnd Tlbbltts. sit
ting together. Ex'Attorney General Leese
ai.pe-arcd for Secretary Edgcrton ; United
States District Attorney A. J , Sawyer for
the straight democrats nnd State's Attbrncy
Hastings for the secretary of state The
contention of General I.ccso was that the
present form of the ballot , as sent out by the
secretary of state , was complex , misleading
and Illegal because it prevented a basis of
representation being accurately estimated In
the future for either the Independent or
democratic parties.
Mr. Sawyer asked for a postponement until
next Tuesday In order to prepare nn an
swer. The court held that the near approach
preach ot election day made It Imperatively
necessary that earlier action be had upon
the case , sind gave Mr. Sawyer until 3 30
p. m. In which to answer. Mr. Sawyer took
an exception.
It was nearly C o'clock before Mr. Saw
yer appeared In court with his answer to the
petition for mandamus , but as he had pre
viously Insisted on a postponement until
Tuesday to prepare- the answer , thla was
unexpected expedition ,
The answer did not even admit that an In-
cccndent convention had been held. This
alsed a new point , and another adjournment
vas had until 7 o'clock this evening to afford
roof ot the same. In granting another con-
Inunncc. the court was rather severe on
he nttltudo oC the defense in seeking to de-
ay the case Indefinitely. At 7 o'clock the
ourt reconvened , and Secretary of State
Mien wont on the stand and testified con-
icrnlng his action In making up the- ticket
iccordltig to the certificates on fllo In his ol-
Ico. Mr. Allen was followed by Secretary
Edjerton. rclator in the case and secretary
f the populist state central commute , with
his evidence , which was- mainly to show his
luthorlty for bringing this suit.
Ho was followed by General Leese , who
iworo to having made a demand on the nec-
ctary ot state to distinguish on the ballot
ho two different parties who have nora-
nated Judge Holcomb. Counsel for the re-
ator then rested.
MORI3 THAN SIEN TO VOTE TOR.
Mr. Sawyer had no other evidence to pro
luco than had been .ven by the tecretary
of slate. Judces Hall and Tibbltts an-
lounced that n similar case had been before
Ida court one year ago. In the opinion of
Judge Hall the district court of Lancaster
county had no jurisdiction over the various
county clerks of the state , to whom the sec
retary of state had sent Eamplo tickets.
General Lccse declared that the people of
Nebraska should have a right to vote for
irlnclplea as well as men. He said ho de
sired to vote for Judge Holcomb as an inde-
iqndcnt , and not as a democrat , or as a
compound Independent with democrat , as
shown on the face of the ballot as prepared
by the secretary of state. This Is the gist
ot the ontlro contention of the Independents.
They want the two parties nominating Judge
3olcomb bracketed In two lines Instead of
> elng run In one line with a hyphen. Then
'
.ho cross opposite the party would Indicate
he political complexion of the vote The
court did not hold that county clerks were
prohibited from printing the ballots In
brackets. It held ) that the certificate of the
secretary of > state * w s merely matter oC In
formation for their guidance.
The court took the matter under advise
ment and will announce their decision Mon-
lay.

ALBION. Neb. , Oct. 2V. ( Special. ) The
optra house here was crowded to its utmost
capacity last night with republicans , demo
crats and populists to hear Senator Mander
son. He spoke for two hours and a half , am :
was frequently applauded. His treatment o
the financial question was dispassionate am
thorough. The populists accorded him th
praise of handling the- questions Involving
their political doctrines in the fairest posalbli
mariner. He compared the countries tha
have free sliver that are on a silver basis
with those on a gold basis , and the compari
son showed very conclusively that the
stronger anil wealthier and more civilized na
tlons are the latter ; that If the United Slates

Instead of the weak and unstable govern
ments of Asia and South America It musi
maintain practically the financial system o
the best financiers and adhere to the flnan

national greatness to England , Germany am

cssary , for him to talk on the tariff , observing
serving- that tariff tinkering was doing Its
own. talking In a way to be more convincing
than any argument he could make. Yet he
called attention to the fact that the tariff
reform of the Drlce-Gorman bill Vas meeting
with most enthusiastic endorsement In Eng
land , where It was relighting the fires In th
forges and awakening Industry , while in thl
country It was putting out fires , reducing

W. H. Michael
closed the meeting by ai
appeal to the old soldiers to stand by th
ticket , which , If successful , would send t

Turnouts doing business on a gold basis are
nflnltely superior to those confined to silver
s a circulating medium. _
"Silver men are in the habit of saying
hat they are blmetalllsts. " observed the
peaker. "la It not n self-evident proposl-
lon that with the annual coinage of so
nuch silver at so great a depreciated valua-
ion , the same could not be exchanged for
gold. The tm libra of silver could not go
o the United States treasury and exchange
t for gold , for there is not suldclcnt gold
u make the exchange. The moment that
he exchange of gold for silver cannot bo
nade on account of the great difference In
he equalities of the two kinds of money ,
hs silver being worth but 60 cents , while
he gold Is worth 100 cents , the owner of the
jold dollar will rcfuijq to exchange for the
silver dollar. .Gold would bo at a premium ,
ust as In the divs of the "war. when we
lad a larger quantity of greenbacks than
could bo exchanged for gold and gold was at
a premium ; It was hoarded or drawn out of
circulation nnd 'paper currency b5came the
noney of the dayThus it would ba with
ho free- and unlimited coinage of sliver.

he only moneoC tjitf country. We would
liave but one kind cot metal money In use
nnd that woulit be allver "
After referring ? tolthe enormous profit the
nine owner wrfilld secure by the adoption of
reo coinage , Mr. "Webster concluded by de
claring that tl/o wthdlo subject resolves Itself

the people to the depot , where thi > jjivcrnor

There were not less than 2,500 men in the
audience , Mr. McICICley had a special word
for the operatives from Qloversvlllo. "When
wo prepared the tariff Ian * of 1890 , " he said ,
'wo put a tariff on Imported gloves , knowing
that wewould thereby secure for you steady
employment at good wages. I now a.sk you
Whether the tariff did not accomplish this ? "
A chorua of "Yea ! Yes ! " was the answer.
At Amsterdam , over 3,000 expectant people
greeted the governor. Mr. McKlnley spoke
from a. platform behind which was a life-
sized picture of himself marked "McKlnley
bill,1' accompanied by the mute announce
ment. "This BUI brings prosperity to Amster
dam. "
At Sclienectadv1 not less than 4,000 people
gathered about the platform of the car and
listened to McKlnley's tariff talk. In closing
ho said : "I sco that Mr. Hill says that busi
ness IB resuming In this country since the
passage of" the tariff law of 1834. Every man
In this audience knows whether business has
resumed , and If It has resumed , upon what
: andltlons that resumption has taken place.
If we hays Ijad any resumption , and I hope
we have , I submit that resumption has bten
upon a lower plane , with lower conditions ,
with lower wages and lower prices for Ameri

dries of "Yes ! Yes ! "
Colonel Fred Grant still remains with the

Vice Presl'dent Stevenson , who tpoke- there
on Friday night. Ho Insisted that the rev
enues arising from the McKlnley tariff law
were sufficient to meet all the expenses of the
government and pay all the pensions until
the election of the now party candidates
having a different policy to put Into effect.
This caused a feeling of doubt and uncer

ELMWOOU , Neb. . Oct. 27. ( Special Tele
gram. ; ) Mr. H. Itosewntur spoke to a. large
audletico Iti this city tonight. Tiio nddre-ss
vas given thoughtful attention nnd was at
imes vigorously applauded.
After paying a tributeto the sturdy yeo-
unnry ; of the state and calling attention to
hVI fact that Cnss county farmers had at-
vays been found In the front rank lighting
he battles ot nntl-monopoly and against cor
ruption and Jobbery In high places , Mr. Ross-
vuler turned his attention to the vulnerable
record ot the republican gubernatorial
-andkl.itp. Ho showed conclusively that
Majors was not a , man to be trusted In the
executive chair , or lu any position requiring
and integrity. The record of the
nan from Ncmaha was spread before the
icoplo from the time when , as contingent
congressman , lie wna nil hut found guilty
of forgery , down to the abduction of Taylor
ind the drawing of tlio fraudulent voucher ,
lie money secured from which went Into the
jacket of Majors' private secretary. Mr.
itosowater emphasized the cowardly charac-
cr of the Major * campaign managers In re-
! u si UK to accept the fair proposition made
bj htm to submit the truth of the charges
ton a jury composed of seven prominent
nlnlstcrs of the gospel. This refusal acted
simply as an acknowledgment that the
: hnrges were true and that they could nut
"c met. The only reply that Majors could
nnko to the charges was ti > heap abuse of
[
ho vilest character upon the man who made
them.
Mr. Uoscwatcr also touched upon the for
mation of the nlk'gcd Business Men's asso
ciation for the purpuso of electing Majors , and
showed the organization tip In Its true light.
Ho disproved the charges that the election
o ! Holcomb would ruin the credit of the
state , and conclusively demonstrated that
the election of an honest man to the guber
natorial chair would servo notice to the
boodlers that their days ot rule In Nebraska
were ended , and that the railroads could no
longer control party politics.
Ho closed with an appeal to all lovers of
seed government to cast their ballots for
honesty und decency In politics and In the
government of the stale , which would do
more to maintain the credit of Nebraska than
to choose for governor a corrupt tool of the
monopolies.

to right Itself , as no concessions were- allowed
on either side.
Senator Hill left he're a few nights ago ,

IIAMIltmo. Oct. 27. The senate today

tion of American live cattle and fresh beef
on the ground that two cargoes just arrived
contained several animals * suffering from
Texas fever.
Consignments which arc proved to Imvo
left America by October 27 nro exempted
from these provisions , but the animals Im
ported must be killed at the abattoir hero
Immediately after they are landed.
AVASHINOTON , Oct. 27. The action of the
German government tn prohibiting the Im
portation of cattle and fresh beet was not
entirely unexpected by the Agricultural de
partment , although the officials had hoped ii | >
to the last moment thot'tho Germans would
prove open to reason. The matter will not
bo allowed to rest \\haro It now stands , but
our government will cause n thorough In
vestigation to bo made af tha cases of the
alleged Texas fever on which the German
government has seen fit to act In such a
summary manner. No doubt Is felt hero
that these alleged cases will turn out to l > o
founded on a mistaken diagnosis , for If there.
Is any cattle disease that the German
veterinarians know little about that dlscasa
Is Texas fever , a purely climatic nonInfectious -
Infectious fever peculiar to America. That
Is the opinion of the Agricultural depart
ment experts who- have studied the- disease )
for years nnd are aware of the state of
knowledge on tlic subject in Europe. If the
departmental examination , ns expected , re
sults In disproving the existence of the cases
complained of our government will enter a
vigorous protest against the action of Ger
many and seek ( o maku It clear that tha
reason assigned for the destruction of our
meat trade Is dlslngonlously stated , which
fact Is not expected to Influence congress
very ' favorably toward the rectification of the
V'SI

urgently by the Gorman government.
Today the following telegram was sent to
the secretary of state'
IJEI'AUTMENT of AKrlculture-Heferrlnfr

rilARLRS AV. DAHNEV ,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture" .
This telegram states the position of the
Agricultural department In a nutshell and
the points made to the uncommunlcatlvoness
of the disease nnd the harmless character of
the meat of the cattle suffering from the
fever are substantiated by a great mass of
uncontradlcted expert testimony.
It Is stated nt the department to bo ex
tremely Improbable that any diseased cattle
could have been shipped , for the reason that !
all expectations are absolutely prohibited
from the zone In the southern section'of the
United States where the disease appears and.
the rigid Inspection system would prevent
any such cattle from reaching Now York or
the eastern ports.
H in admitted to bo within the lioutida at.
possibility that some cattle cars wJUi soil

Improbable.
