MAJORS FAIRLY ON THE HUN
Tattooed Tom and His Cohorts Seeking
Dover from the Ooraing Storm.
CAUSE HOPELESSLY DOOMED TO DEFEAT
Latc t ICBtlmntci from Ills Headquarter *

Diilo nnd tlio Manifesto.
The Majors forces are fairly on the run.
they make a feeble effort to keep up their
courage , and although in the secret caucus
it Is admitted that Majors la defeated1 , the
general mass of republicans throughout the
state arc deceived by the wild , assertions of
subsidized organs f and mercenaries.
With the bravado of men writing
( or a hopeless cause , these organs
assert that hundreds of populists
are every day deserting Holcomb , and that
thousands of reports are coming In dally
from all over Nebraska giving assurances
of largo majorities for the tattooed candi
date. These statements nro all purefabrica
tions. They are written by men who have
no Interest In the truth.
Aa a last straw the state ofllclal whois
acting In the capacity of editor-ln-chlef for
the railroad propaganda gives the whole
snap away In the two columns of
bought from a local publisher. This liter
ary purveyor of sophistry claims that Majors
la gaining 1,000 vuUa a day ; that ho will
come Into Douglas county with 1.500 plur
ality , and that Omaha will give him an addi
tional COO. The desperate condition of the
Majors combination has been -
long- recog
nized , but no ono expected such a frank
avowal of the actual condition of affairs.
And many are asking what estimate * the
state central committee \vould have placed
on the total vote a week ago If It required
a , gain of 1,000 votes a day to giveMnjora
a beggarly plurality of 2,000 on election day.
The cause must have been hopeless Indeed
a week ago.
As a matter of ( act. It Is moro hopeless
today than It hast ever been at any tlmo In
Iho campaign. Majors Is not gaining 1,000
votes a day. He was defeated more than a
week ago , nnd Instead of gaining he has
Lccn losing steadily. \
An Incident occurred ono afternoon this
week which confirms the above estimate of
the situation. G. \\v. lloldrcso and a few
friends met In BU Informal way "In the par
lors of the Union club , and In the discussion
of the general situation It waa admitted
among themselves that In the state outside of
Douglas county the race between Majors and
Ilolcomb was a standoff , and that K he won
nt all Majors must win ly a plurality In
Douglas county.
Many Incidents confirm this. In the first
place the managers of the Majors campaign
have practically dropped their work In thi >
outsldD counties , Their workers have been
notified that all expenses must cease. What
llttlo money la the campaign fund which
has not already been squandered Is to be
reserved for use on election day , when the
most unblushing frauds on the ballot will be
Attempted.
FLOATING MALICIOUS FALSEHOODS.
The campaign of mendacity and defamation
which the Majors managers have conducted
to ED much disadvantage to their standard
bearer Is about lo culminate- with a volley of
rlp-roarlng roorbacks and gross libels from
the Jackass batteries and mud swivels. In
the face of the approaching landslide the
situation has become so desperate that every
species of villainy and vllllflcatlon will uc
resorted to before the guns nro spiked , and
battle-scarred ward , heelers arc mustered
out of service. The new exploded "mort
gage shark" affidavits are to be followed by
another scries of scandalous canards , In
fact , It Is an open secret that ono ot the
Echemes actually proposed was to charge
Judge Holcomb with being a horse thief and
verity the charge with more cooked affidavits.
That part of the program had lo be aban
doned , aa will bo seen by the following :
MANCHK3TI3U. la. . Oct. 30. To the Edi ,
tor of The Ilee : A member of a very promi
nent law llrm told me today Hint n few
days ago n small-sized , smooth-faced man
called nt his ojtlce and asked for a private
interview. Ho then stated he wan from
Omaha nnd was hento look up a little
ancient history , He asked the lawyer If
his tlrm did not years ngo defend < me
Silas A. Holcomb for horse ntenllng. The
lawyer said he had no recollection of such .
a case. The secret political service man
felt sure It was so. The lawyer was equally
sure he had never defended any party of
that name. Tliu smooth-faced emissary
then \\lred back to Omaha , "Am on the
wrong scent. "
Another capper has been sent to se
City , Idaho , to procure manufactured ri
davits , which are to bo sprung upon ll e
state within the next forty-eight hours.
These allldavlts , It Is claimed , will lit
to show that Judge Holcomb Is. the er
of property In Holse City which Is being
rented for Immoral purposes. It la sufficient
nX
cient to say that the canard will be- ex
ploded as soon ns It Is perpetrated. These
infamous efforts to counteract Ihe black
record of Tom Majors will hnnlljr Influence
the Intelligent voters of Nebraska , coming as
they do within a few days before election.
MAJORS AND A PASS STORY.
In almost every campaign speech ho has
made on the stump Majors has called God tear
witness that ho has never touched one dollar
of railroad money or that ho has never been
the tool ot the railroads. Whllo the evidence
to the contrary Is abundant , the- railroads
themselves have brought out now evi
dence to corroborate the fact. Two or
three days ago the organ ot the Fremont ,
Klkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad at
Fremont printed with a flourish of
trumpets the numbers and descriptions
of the annual passes held by Senator
John Thoniben two years ago. Senator Thom
son , who Is a candidate for re-election on the
democratic and people's Independent ticket , ,
comes back at the Fremont organ In a letter
In which ha reveals toino very significant
Inside history. Ho acknowledges that ha did
travel on an annual pass on the Klkhorn
toad. Shortly after his election he states :
that lie was called upon by L. U. Ulchnrds ,
who presented him with an annual pass , tell
ing him that ho might find It convenient. 11A
few days after Illcliards hud delivered the
pass Thoniscn received , u letter from a. com
mittee of republicans asking : him to come into
Omaha und consult them In regard to or
ganizing the senate. He did come to Omaha ,
and going to the dcilunirtcd room at jhe ;
Paxton hotel found Tom Ma jam and a. num
ber of others there. The committee thus
headed by Majors submitted to Thomson a
plan for the organization of the senate on a
basis that wouM enYrlually prevent the- en
actment of any railroad legislation. Thomeen
had pledged his constituency during the cam-
palEti that lie would favor the enactment inol
n maximum rale law. and he declined to be
come a party to the conspiracy. A few
Java after he returned to Fremont he received
ceived a letter from General Manager Hurt
of the Klkhorn demanding the return of the
annual pans. Thumsen failed to return the
pasteboard as promptly ns the exigencies of
the case seemed to demand , and so Uurt
wrote .is second letter Instiling on the return
of the pats that had been presented by L. O.
lllcliardK without nny Kollcllatlon. on the part
Df the senator ,
The Intimidation and < > oerc'on of the rail
road employes continues , and every day men
In the employ ol the railroad corporations
report Instances where their lupcrlors
threaten them with dismissal If they dare-
to vote against Tom Majors. The most open
thrtcls of dismissal are reported from the
management of the Klkhorn road. A conduc

The bungling work of the officers ot the
Business Men's nssoc'atlon continues to come
to light , The men who have run that or
ganization have not heiltnteil to distort facts
nnd to misrepresent the mtii who were In
duced to attach their names to the member
ship rolls. The following complaint of du-
'pllcltywas handt'i In last evening from one
of the signers ot the manifesto :
OMAHA , Oct. 30.-To the Editor of The
Itee : My name la nndn to appear In a
circular Issued by the Huslnens Men's As
sociation of Nebraska In n light that I
certainly never Intended It should. The
document signed by me ? was headed : "We ,
the undersigned , rnroll ourselves as mem
bers of the Business Men's Association of
Nebraska , organized without regard to
political affiliations , for the purpose of
moulding public opinion , " etc. A cir
cular now before tno , being their address
to the voters of Nebraska , commences :
"Four years ago prohibition threatened
the prosperity of Nebraska , The business
men of Omnlui nnd the state , without re
gard to party alllllatlon , then united In a
determined effort to ward off the danger ,
and largely throush their efforts prohibition
wns defeated. " To those who knew me
It Is needless to say that I never authorired
such n IHO to be made of my signature.
The sentiments on the question of prohibi
tion expressed nnd maintained by me four
years since are mine today , without modi
fication , iiunlllleallon or explanation , nnd I
most emphatically repudiate the sentiments
expressed In the preamble above quoted.
Very respectfully , JOHN DALU
COIIUKSPONDENCE THAT CONVINCES.
The assertions scattered broadcast over the
state to the effect that Nebraska would be
financially ruined by the election ot Judge
Holcomb are being discredited every day by
the testimony of competent witnesses. The
following correspondence sufficiently explains
Itself :
ROOD & STIMMCL ,
UnAL ESTATE AND LOANS.
SOUTH OMAHA , Neb. , Oct , 31 , 1894.
Edward Koseunter , Editor Hee
Dear Sir ttclng desirous of voting Intelli
gently at the coming election nnd having
doubts what effect the election of Mr. Hoifw
cumb would have on the llnnnces of the
stale , I wrote If. S. Shields , Kansas City.
ivun. , the following letter :
"OMAHA. Oct. 20. 15 > 94. Has the fact that
Kansas , having n populist governor , had
uny effect on the finances of the state ?
Has Interest been advanced more on that
account ? Do eastern people loan money as
fieely on real estate ? "
He had no Idea of my reason for asking
these questions. I enclose his reply.Would
sny In this connection that Mr. Shields has
been Identified with Kansas for years. Was
formerly manager of William Dcerlng &
Co.'a Kansas City house , the largest manu
facturers of harvesting- machinery In the
wet Id , doing business with both dealers and
funnel s , and IS thoroughly posted. I , like
many others , have had a hard road to
travel the past two years , and urn satisfied
the tlmo has come to make a change , po
litically , to better one's condition. If you
care to use this you can do so. Yours truly ,
PHIL ST1MMBL ,
KANSAS CITY. Knn. , Oct. 23 , 1S9I ,
Phil Stlmmel , Omaha , Neb. : Dear Sir-
Answering your question ns to what effect
the populist administration has on the
finances o Kuntas , will buy It certainly
has hod no damaging effect Interest
rates hnve not been advanced. They have
been reduced In this county from 8 and 9
per cent to fl per cent ; that Is to soy , mort
gages on farms in Wyandolte county that
were given in 1SSS , : SSD and 1SSO at from
8 to 9 per cent , the holders of such mort
gages nre now offering to renew nt 6 per
cent , which can be proven by the records
of this county. Eastern people loan just us
freely on real estuto as In any other state
when the security Is the same.
I can prove by the- offers to buy and the
Bales that have been matlc la the last three
months that land Is held and has been sold
to eastern and northern men In Wynndotte
and Franklin counties at from S3 to $15 per
acre higher than the same class of lands
can be bought for In Jackson nnd Cass
counties , Missouri. 1 merely select these
four counties because I have made personal
Investigation for my own purpose nnd can
prove rny assertions by the records.
One would think by some of the reports
In the papers that the Kansas people were
ready to give away their property , but If
you go cut nnd try to buy It you will soon
be convinced of thu contrary. There are
thousands of ncres of corn In Kansas that
can be told for $2o per acre standing- the
Melds. Land Is being rented at from S3 50 to
$8 per acre , according to the distance from
the cities. You will see by thebo figures
that owners nre receiving interest at the
rate of S per cent on. a valuation of from
JIO to SSO per acte. Therefore It Is foolish
for demagogues to travel over the country
and tell Intelligent audiences that money
cannot be borrowed on good real estate that
pavs an annual revenue of 8 per cent.
All this ta k about the iopu' st administra
tion being detrimental to Kansas is only
the argument of demagogues to Induce the
people to vote them Into otllce. I do not
know for what purpose you _ _ hayc asked
the question In your letter ot the 23th Inst ,
but 1 know you are n republican , and , prob
ably like myself , getting tiled of misstatements -
ments from the members ot your party.

ST. PETKHSDUna , Oct. 31. The official
bulletin Issued from IJvadla at 7 o'clock this
evening says : "His majesty has taken little
nourishment. The congestion of the left
lung continues. The breathing Is dllllcutt
and the pulse Is weak. The general weak
ness of the patient Is greatly Increased. "
A letter received liere from Llvafllo on
Monday last says : The czar Is extremely
weak and hardly able to walk , but he has
not abandoned hope. lie tries to reassure
the czarina , who Is beside herself with grief
and anxiety. Ills majesty has frequent
somnolent fits , which ho does his utmost to
overcome. Ho often refuses medicine and
the sentries outside the quarters which he
occupies hear groaning during the night.
The population of Yalta warmly greet
Prlncesa Allx when .slio drives out with the
czarewltch.
There Is a great deal cf feeling against
Prof. Zaccharln. whom Prof. Leyden reproaches
preaches \vlth Incapacity and negligence at
the beginning of the czar's Illness.
YALTA , Oct. 31. The czar suffers IHs of
suffocation. Today ho ivas unconscious
fw several hours. The day was warm
and the sky cloudless. Early In the morn
ing , his majesty tried to read state dis
patches , but was too weak. During his
violent fits of coughing particles of lung
were brought away. The bulletin Issued
Tuesday night was not published here until
this morning. It caused a feeling of In-
tcnso apprehension. Everybody coining
from Llvadla Is assailed with questions ,
but nobody Is able to give much news.
DOCTORS QUAUUEL SERIOUSLY.
Dr. Zaccharln Is everywhere blamed for
his wrong diagnosis and for allowing the dis
ease to go so far before taking his majesty
to a warmer climate. It Is alleged that
there has been a serious quarrel between
Prof. Leyden and Dr. Zaccharin , the former
reproaching his colleague with aggravating
the czar's Jllnees by his brutal frankness.
Dr. Zacclmrln , It is said , retorted angrily ,
and -was only prevented from leaving
Llvadla by the interference of General
Tcherovln , who threatened to forcibly de
tain him , Profs. AVIIschowskl and Wyod-
zow have been summoned to Llvadla from
St. Petersburg , It la reported the prince and
princess of Wales are coming to Llvadla at
the special request of the czar. Grand Duke
Mlchaelovltcli. cousin of the. czar , who wns
disgraced and banished to the Caucasus sev
eral years ago , arrived here recently , wishing
to see the czar and ask his pardon batoro he
died. The czar declined to see him. The
czar's treatment by his physicians Is un
changed. He takes digitalis and aconite and
drinks a great deal of milk.
LONDON , Oct. 31. A dispatch to the
Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon from
Llvadla says the czar Is dying. The d.s-
patch adds that his left lung Is seriously
Inflamed ; that all hope has been abandoned
and that the news of his death nmy be ex
pected at any moment.
WHAT A CONSULTATION SHOWED.
In connection -with this alarming dispatch
the following facts contained in latt night's
telegram from the St. Petersburg correspond
ent of the Times will be read w.th Interest :
It Is stated that Inflammation of the lungs
das weakened the action of the heart. A
private telegram from Yalta says the doc
tors in attendance on his majesty held an
unusually long consultation latt night , hence
Ihe Issuance ol the bulletin was later thap
usual. The emperor was then conscious
and able to converse with the doctors and
his relatives. Ills majesty suffers heroically
and makes no complaint. Yesterday he
tried to attend to state papers and letters ,
but was obl'grd to btop by fits of coughing
which lasted some hours. The
coughing was accompanied by Intense
pain nnd blood appeared in the phlegm. The
doctors were undecided at first ns to whether
the blood was from the throat or lungs. The
coughing continued all night. The czar made
no attempt to take to his bed , but remained
In his armchair. Dr. Zaccharln Is of the
opinion that a portion of the clotted blood
got Into the left lung and produced Inflamma
tion. H Is hoped now the clot may get ab
sorbed , otherwise his
breathing will be seri
ously Impeded.
At the urgent request of the czarina the
King and queen of Denmark started this
morning for Llvadla and will Join the prli.co
and princess of Wales enroute. \

zeno today received a cable from the Russian

"ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 31. The expec

I3ULLETINS NOT SO ALAHMINQ.
ST. PETERSBURG , Oct. 31. An official
bulletin Issued at 11 o'clock this morning
says that the czar slept for a few hours late
last 1 night and that the bleeding has some
what 1t subsided. Otherwise the condition of
the t patient Is not changed. The bulletin is
signed In the usual manner by the physicians
1r In 1 attendance upon his majesty. Advices
received 1I 1i from Llvadla this afternoon an-
ncunco i that there has been a slight decrease
In I the blood-stained expectoration. Other
wise there Is no change In his condition.
The excitement here continues. Those en
gaged [ In distributing the bulletins regarding
Ii the I health of the czar are besieged by dense
ciowds Il of people , who fall upon their knees
nnd prjy for the czar's recovery as each
bulletin Is posted. At 1 o'clock this after
noon the metropolitan of St. Petersburg ,
Father Palladlus , president of the holy synod < ,
attended by all his clergy , offered up prayers
for the recovery of the czar In the cathedral
of St. Isaac. The ceremony was most im

Frank Williams , a thoit , thick-set man. who
claims to have relatives and friends at Appleton -

that he Knows nothing ot the wrecking.
Olllccts traced these men from Minneapolis
to this city On September 30 they broke
Into nnd stole an oil coat nnd nn overcoat
at the- tool house at Prentice. That nlpht
they sawed a bridge near thnt place , but
owing to tlie short time In which they liad
to do the work It wns not complete and the
train passed over It safely. The following
week the time wns spent between Prentice
and Khlnelandor. On October G they were
seen in Illilnclander , and there purchased
some clothes. October 7 they saued. the
piles nnd stringers of the high bridge near
lleafrord Junction and the westbound pas
senger train went down a twenty-five foot
embankment The train was running slow
FO the wreck was not an complete ns the
wreckcis expected. The baggage , smoking
and day coaches and two slerpere were not
broken and none of the passengers were
hurt. On October 11 Sheriff Paytzer re
ceived a letter from the station agent nt
Irma to look out for two suspicious looking
characters. That night the sheriff accom
panied a posse about a mile from the city
near Lakcvlew , und about 30 o'clock two
men appeared. They wore taken Into cus

we would have no one to prevent us trom

east of the center of the bridge. "We cut

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 31. W. Edgar of
the Northwestern Wilier was both amused
and annoyed this morning at the report
out from St , "Louts that northwestern
millers were trying to arrange a combliio
for Ihe purpose of curtailing the Hour out
put. The report originated In the fuel
th.it the Northwestern Miller , the newu-
[ aptr not the northwestein millers "out
out circulars to the millers of the I'nltcd
. -tute : proposing that they curtail the out
put from December 1 to Jnnmuy : , In order
tj relieve the glut In the market.
reilt-ttlon would amount to 3,000,00'J ' barrels
Mr. Edgar said there is no Idea of forcing
such a measure , compliance \vlth It HP'IIR '
purely voluntnty. That Is the dullest part
of tht year In the flour trade. All mills
have to shut down for repairs every > t-ar
unywiij. nnd why not nt this dull time ?
The plan originated , not with the millers
of the not tli west , but with Thomas Taylor
of Toledo. The spring wheat millers are
rather opposed to It , as they have always
be n against any such reduction of the
output. The Minneapolis millers ore likely
to run right along , as they think best , with-
o'it reference to the plan. The replies
from the St. Loula millers , on the other
hand , nre In favor of It.

week before and 23,733 during the corresponding !

ket la still characterized aa terribly dull.
Sales last week approached 175,000 barrels
" "
at unreniunerallve""prices. . Quotations are
about the some. Export trade is very
meager. Millers have booked all the orders
they can fill before the close of navigation ,
and higher prices are asked to restrict
trade. J.ow grades are less eagerly nought
after , and ohow weakness. Export ship
ments were -18,175 Inure la , against 38,800 the
week before and CS.01Q In 1693.

NEW YOU 1C , Oct. 31. The declaration ot
AVllllam Grace that the stale democratic or

Is not responsible for nil- Wheeler meetings ,
Is received with Incredulity by many , who
still Insist that that faction la lu favor ol
Itll.'s defeat , and rolling up as largo a vote
as possible for Wheeler. The adherents ex
press much gratification at the number and
character of the Cooper Union meeting , and
are confident that tlio democratic reform
ticket will mnko n good showing on election
day. Many anti-Hill democrats , it Is gener
ally believed , will vote straight for Morton ,
taking the ground that a vote for Wheeler
will bo only half a vote against Hill , and
that the Wheeler votes were Intended to aid.
Morton anyway.
The Hill men are. as confident as ever , re
ferring with special satisfaction to the per
sonal canvass their candidate Is making nnd
to the enthusiasm with which ha Is being
received by his supporters , Most of thorn ,
however , do not seek to conceal their disap
pointment or anger that his candidacy has
not received open nnd ncllvo encouragement
from the national administration. The re
publicans nbato none of their claims , nnd Insist
sis tliHt with the general republican ten
dency this year and the democratic defection
hu.a nan , ii.ii wilt bo snowed muter. There
has : been but llttlo
betting so fur In the cam
paign , but the reports of wagers at the Stock
Exchange and elsewhere show odds on Mor
ton t ' , not iinfreiiuenlly at two to one. Smaller
odds are. given on Strong against Grant , the
proportions of tlio Tammany organization
throughout the countiy making the supporters
of Iho committed ot seventy rather cautious
about risking their money , however much ,
they expect an anti-Tammany uprising.
Affairs at political lieadnuart ra were par
ticularly dull. So far as the democratic
and republican
headciunrters were concerned -
corned it was partly accounted for by b
explanation that many of 'the ' managers
who live outside the city had gene to their
home districts , election day being so near ,
to "look after their fences" and to tak
part In local canvasses. The attention , ot
those remaining were specially directed to >
the mass meeting at Tuimnany Hall this
evening and the republican mass meeting at
Carnegie Music hall.
At the democratic headquarters Ihe man
agers said that the canvass- shows 65,000
majority for the dcmocrata In New York and
11,000 In Kings. They added"Of coursa
the republican majority north of the Har
lem will not roach 40,000. Governor Flower
a most astute political obberver says 30-
000. This will give Senator Hill a clear
majority of15,000. . "
John Halloran was at the state democratic !
headquarters this afternoon with { 20,000 to
bet on the election of Strong and God , but
although ho remained there until after dark
no one. appeared to take up any of his offers ,
which were $5,000 to JJ.OOO on StropB and
Goff each , ' nnd J10.QOO even on the. eleollorj

At the Grant headquarters It was given out
.that a delegation of fifteen colored voter *
Wad called today to assure Mr. Grant that
although they were aa a rule republican * ,
th y Intended at the- coming election to glvt
their support to him because of the service !
lie 'had rendered to them. At Iheso head-
quartets It was also announced today tlu.t
