HOLCOMB AND DEMOCHATS.
"I happen to know that outsideofDouglas
coiinty nearly 76 per cent of the democratic
Tote Will bo cast for Holcomb , nnd of the ;
remaining 25 per cent , Sturdevant will get
as many. If not more , than Major * , Here In
Omaha Holcomb will Ket more than 5,000
democratic vfttes , and I shall b surprised
If lie does not receive nearer 6,000. Wo
3iaT taken careful polls ot many ot the
country precincts , and In many ot them Ma
jors will not get a democratic vole. Hjro
in UIB city ho will get the democratic vote
that can bo controlled by euch democrats aa
Tobe foster and others who are owned body
and soul by the U. AM. railroad. This fac
tion of the democracy of Omaha Is , It Is
needless for me to remark , quite small.
"I do not believe that the Business Men's
association will figure In the result to any
lireat extent , for several reasons. In the
first place , many of the business men who
Blgned the membership roll dkl so under the
Impression that their signatures ended the
matter. They had no Idea that tholr names
' were to be heralded all over the stateas
supporters of Tom Majors. The methods of
the officers of tha association have creited
a great deal of prejudice among the country
merchants In every small town In the atute ,
and their protests have warned the business
in Mi ot this city that any further efforts In
behalf of Majors will Injure their business.
They will doubtless vote for Majors them
selves , but they nre no longer urging their
customers to do so , and they are endeavoring
to keep their connection with the associa
tion as quiet as possible.
" 1 Ond , lee , a general disposition among
the laboring men to resent ttie Interference
of their employers with their right to vote
their1 own persons ! convictions. Hundreds ot
Worklngmen will admit to their employers
that they are for Majors , but when once In
side the polling booth their votes will be
\ cast for Holcomb. The clerks In the banks
nnd retail stores are feeling the same way.
The vote for Holcomb from the o quiet
iclcrks and laboringmcn U likely to create
Vid havoc with all the estimates in ado by
lie Major * contingent.
\"Upon the whole , I bcllevo T can say In
B closing hours ot the campaign , that ev-
\thlnff \ we can learn at democratic head-
rters points to the election of Judge
comb by a plurality ranging from 12,000
15.000. While we are relaxing no of-
s , we feel that the campaign closes this
nlng , and that the success of tha mo ve
nt for honest administration In our state
fernmont Is assured. "
IMPOSING ON BOHEMIANS.
\ . man named Drahej la circulating a
limlty and ruin letter , written In the
Ihemlan language , among the voters ot that
Jtlonallty throughout the state. In this
jtcr he. Informs the Bohemian people- that '
je election of Majors la essential to the
edit of Nebraska But perhaps the most
slanlly and criminal piece of work of this
aracter is reported from Saline county ,
lere are a largo number of Bohemian voters
Ibis county , and they subscribe freely for a
'imber of newspapers printed tn their
ftngnage. It was discovered this week that
Vie Bohemian papers coming to the post-
offlca at Wllber were tampered with , and
that In each ono had been placed a printed
'Blip containing an attack upon Judge Hol
comb. Of the three newspapers thus tam
pered with two are published outside of the
stale , and the other is Jho Pokrok Zapadu
of this city. It Is a serious matter to tam
per with the United Sites malls , and any
pbstmastcr doing so Is liable to punishment.
The action Is a fair sample of the disrep
utable campaign methods pursued by the
Majors crowd In this campaign. The circular
appears elsewhere in this paper in Bohemian ,
together with a transyatlon.
TRIES HOODWINKING CATHOLICS.
Within the past two weeks a number of
Inquiries have been received from various
sections ot the state , notably from Nebraska
City , Lincoln and Wymore , requesting The
Dee to lve some Information concerning the
L'lelntlonshlp of Thomas J. Majors to the
American Protective association. It' seems
that Majors and his beckers have of late
been making efforts to cut into the Catholic
dornpcratla vote of the state through llie In-
' fluenoe of certain Irish-American democrats
who' are known to be Interested In Burlington
railroad contracts and South Omaha , stock
parde. At Lincoln a. still hunt has been
mada in Catholic ranks on behalf
of Majors by the notorious Bill
Dorgan of the state penitentiary contract
who claims to have enlisted several Catholic
priest * on the strength of the fact that MaJors -
. ' Jors had voted for a bill to donate one of
the Lincoln lots owned by the state to the
Catholic church. It Is also well known In
this city that Father Fitzgerald of Auburn ,
who recently m&do a tour of the northern
part of the state , has exhibited an active
Interest In the election of Majors. What
promises and pledges Majors has made to
Father Fitzgerald , or what Inducements have
been offered , is , of course , not given out.
Till * good missionary has also done sonic
work for the A. P. A. candidate down in
the Lincoln diocese , where the order Is not
so well known.
The Bee , ot course. Is not In position to
furnish any positive proof of Majors' rela
tion to the A. P. A. , excepting no far aa they
wore davoloped In the campaign at 1892 ,
when Johnny Thompson , editor of the Amcrl-
cui , and other prominent members of the
order made- personal appeals In his behalf
before the republican state central commit-
too. It will be remembered that Majors was
present ( hiring the secret conference of the
republican state central committee which
ended In his being substituted for J. Q.
Tate ns tbe candidate for llcuteant gov
ernor. At that conference Mr. Hosewater
mule a speech , afterwards published in the
Lincoln liaily News , in which he referred
to Majors' connection with the A. P. A. as
follbws :
Now I refer to Colonel 'Majors' connection
with the A. P. A. He Is a member of thnt
association , having joined Jl In Omaha , and
I am satisfied that that fact will re
htm nnd the whole ticket with a large FS
of voters. There nre In the state possibly
iym.
8.090 vetcH controlled by tills organization.
They arc all republicans with the exception
of from ,1500 to 1SX ) , so thnt hl membership
In the A. 1' . A. will bring- but little KtreiiKth
to the ticket , while It will take much
from It.
All this , was said in the presence of Majors
and in the two speeches he made after that
bo mode on effort to disclaim the charge
that he was a member of the American Pro
tective association. This , with the fact that
hla mnn Friday , Walt Seelcy , was one of
the organizer * of the association In the South
riatte country , leave * no room for doubt as
to Majors' actual connection with the organi
sation.
Like many other politicians who are trying
to use the order for their own personal end *
Majors Joined the American , Protective asso
ciation to make capital out of Its Influence.
Parties have asked The Bee to publish the '
application signed by Majors. This is. ot
course. Impossible. The American Protective
association Is a secret organization and Its
records are Ilka those of any other secret
order. Inaccessible to the public. Besides
UIB application for membership in the asso
ciation are deitroyed within a certain speci
fied time.

that is supporting Tom Majors , make * a demand -

Unddr the head of "Fair Plap Ilcquested , " It
says :

Judge Holcomb U entitled to the vote of

Holcomb's majority was 1,0X3 , which was

From personal pride In their home candidate

save him a complimentary vote for the
supreme bench.
ONE OF TOM'S LAND DUALS.
Tom Majors has persistently refused to
offer any explanation of the charge made at
a public meeting at York , at which he was
the principal speaker.that ho had deliberately
and knowingly defrauded an old soldier out
of ( seventy-two acres of land. At the meetIng -
Ing | In question , while Majors was In the
midst of his usual boastful recital of his
valiant deeds as a soldier , he pleaded with all
the old foldtrrs to rally to his support for the
honor ] of the old Hag which they all loved eo
well , etc. A voice from the audience spoke
out , "Can't do It , Tom , seventy-two acres
short. " The audience appreciated the situa
tion In an Instant , for everybody knew at
once that the man who uttered the words
was another- old soldier named II. S. Ilan-
klns , and everybody knew , too , that he had
month ] before , commenced suit against Tom
Majors to recover more than $2,000 , which he
claimed to have- lost through fraudulent mis
representation. Majors was visibly embar
rassed at the Incident , and attempted to
smooth the matter over.
The history of the transaction makes an
interesting bit of reading , and it is related
by a York correspondent as follows ;
Mr. Hankins has been long and favorably
known by nearly every citizen in York
county , and hli integrity has never been
questioned. Ho Is an old soldier , having
enlisted early In the war In the union army ,
In Company 6 , Thirty-third Illinois Infantry ,
and has an honorable discharge. He is also
a member of Martin post , No. 291 , 0. A. R.
His partner. Mr. Hitchcock , Is a farmer , now
residing in Bradshuw. He Is also well and
favorably known , having the respect ot the
entire community In which he * lives. Mr.
Hankins , was ono of those unfortunates who
suffered In the Bradshaw cyclone n few years
ago ; but with commendable energy he went
to work to regain his possessions , until , In
1892 and 1893 , he and his partner , Arnold
Hitchcock , owned nnd controlled a well-
stocked general merchandise store In Brad
shaw and were doing a paying business.
Some time in Auguit , 1893 , Thomas J.
Majors offered to trade western land for the
store owned by Messrs , nankins & Hitchcock.
The land he offered was situated In Oreeley
county , and Mr. Hitchcock went to see It.
He found It all thnt It had been represented
as to quality of boil and topography. Part
of It was railroad land and the balance a
government claim. Majors himself went to
Bradshaw to close the deal. Ho claimed
that there were 320 acres In the tract , and he
figured It In at $28.12 % per acre , multiply
ing the 320 acres by the stated price In order
to get the amount , J9.000. The trade was
agreed upon. When Majors sent the deeds
It was discovered that the patent for the gov
ernment land-was missing. Majors said that
he had lost his final receipt and could not
get another. He arked Hitchcock to make
an nffldavlt 'that ho ( Hitchcock ) was the
actual owner of the land.'and use the alTldavit
in getting patent from the. government.
Hitchcock declined to swear to a false aHl-
davit , and later. In some mttnner , Majors se
cured the patent. Then it was discovered
that the deed called for but 248 acres. It
was too late for Hankins & Hitchcock to
back out of the trade , and so they commenced
suit In the district court for Tork county to
recover from Majors the sum of $2,025 , that
being the value of the seventy-two acres not
conveyed , The facts set forth above are
backed by the following affidavit ;
State of Nebraska , County of Tork. PB.
To whom It may concern :
Having been requested to matte a state
ment for publication in The Omaha Bee in
* regard to a businem transaction with one
Thomas J. Slnjors , will nay that he repre-
tienled to us that he had 320 acres of land
In Qreeley county , Nebraska , that he would
trade for our stoclc of goods. On his repre
sentation the trade was made. Hut when
the deeds came they only called for US
acres a shortage of seventy-two acres for
which there Is n suit now pending In the
district court of York county , Nebraska , I ,

wanted a written contract , but Mr. Hanktns
that the position that Thomaa J.
rs held as lieutenant governor of the
state , It would be nn Insult to ask him fern
n contract , an he thought he was an honest
man. In reply Thomas J. Majors said that
he would/ not think of taking advantage of
an old comrade as he was a creat friend of
the old soldiers. AIlNOLD HITCHCOCK.

OMAHA , Neb. , Oct. 31. To the Editor of
Th Bee : In a recent Issue of The Bee I
. read an article headed "Insult to Honest
Germans , " wherein you mentioned the great
leaders of the Germans as Peter Sclav enk.
Max Adler. ot the little rcpubllcan-demo-pop
epa
German paper ( who gave the most ? ) and a
man well known among- the Germans as Mr.
Jacob Hauckwhose record Is everything
except Rood.
Now , Sir. Editor , who Is ScUwenkT What
position does ho take among- the Germans ?
Does he belong to any German society , or
ha * he ever patronized any entertainment
ever given by the Germans ? Never. I don't
. believe they ever would take him as a mem
ber In any of the first-class German so
. cletles , and such a man is put at the head
ot the republican central committee and Ma-
laan
Jors' gang , to fix things to secure German
votes.
Of Max Adler I can say nothing personally ,
, but his position as editor ot the little sheet
la sufficient to ehow that lie Is not a great
light in then wspaper firmament. A stranger ;
In the city , he sold out to the party paying
the most ; ho Is not the man who can make
votes for the one or the other party , nnd
our German voters ignore his speeches with
a smile , and tell him to go where he came-
from. They are just as smart as this editor
of the little sheet , and need not bo advised
by this kind of Germans.
In the matter of Jacob Hauck. every Ger
man in the fltato knqws tnat lie makes a
bnslness out of it. A few year * ago heed
worked for the democrats. They got tired
of him. for certain purposes best knoirn to
himself ; Ha then went over to the repub rt >
licans , for a consideration ot $25 a day , toke
convert convert who ?
It Is a. sure thing- that this class of Ger
mans can convert nobody , and they lecure
more voters for Holcomb than they can make
for Majors , and Majors does not need to
throw the keys of Castle Garden Into- the
sea , _ The- Germans will stand up as e unit
vote , but not for a man who ia B Know
Nothing , a temperance man as he has shown
himself to bo and a friend of the foreigners
irhb have become loyal when be runa for
office.
This is the record of the republican can
didate for governor. The German citlte-na
will not allow any one to dictate to them
who they shaft vote for. especially not such
a man as above mentioned , A G Kit MAN.

PLATTSMOUTH , Neb. , Nov. 3. { Special
Telegram. ) These dispatches ot Thursday
night In reference ( o the republican rally In
which it was stated that H. , Hussell , candi
date for commissioner' of public landJ and
buildings mada an address'of fifteen minutes
on state Issues were In error. Russell's en
tire talk uas directed toward abuslnCg the
editor of the local democratic paper , C , W.
Sherman. He founded his abuse on the
ground of Sherman's refusal to support the
tattooed candidate , although both are vet
erans of the civil war.
John M. Thurstofi's closing- address was a
address was a Bound republican argument
anil was considerably In contrast to Russell's
wall of abuse. Ilusscll disgusted his hearers
and really gare the Majors cause a further
push In Ita journey down the toboggan slide
Majors uas In town last night. He came
down from Omaha In the evening over the
Burlington , In company with an attache of
a state house ofllcer , who Is drawing a salary
from the state , but nevertheless devotes him
self about all his tlmo In endeavoring to
hoist the preferred candidate of the railroad
ring on to the people of Nebraska as their
governor. The Majors cappers havn been
continually claiming : that the statement Is
untrue , that he has people ot questionable
character for his .companions , but his visit
to this city ffoes to provo the story as being
absolutely true. Most of Majors' time last
night was given over to visiting the falcons
in the city , and ho had aa companions &
pair of gamblers who were Indicted by the
.grand jury last March for gambling and
made to pay a One In Judge Chapman's
court. There was scarcely a saloon In the
town which the gang did not visit , nnd their
rambling was not finished until a rather late
hour In the evening.
The political situation in Plattsmouth is a
disgrace to the nnmo of the nation which
boasts ot giving Its citizens the right to
cost a free ballot. The Burlington car shops
are located In this city nnd some'COO men arc
employed. All sorts nnd manners of bull
dozing tactics are being resorted to by the
basses to cocdce those- men Into voting for
Majors. Throats of dismissal are common.
The same methods were worked by the
bosses last year , when the railroad secured
the election of Harrison to the supreme
bench. At that time railroad corcclon had
Its effect , and Harrison carried this town ,
which Is usiully democratic , by p\er GOO
votes. But bulldozing - done here 'will do
the Majors crowd no. good after alt ns far
as Cass county Is concerned. The farmers
propose to make their presence known on
election day In unmistakable terms. From
every co"unty precinct comes the word tha
Holcomb's cause Is fast gaining ground
PlatUmouth precinct , for Instance. Is demo
cratic by almost 100 votes. Next Tuesday I
will give a larger plurality than" that fo
Holcomb and reform. If the farmers al
over the state do tlielr duty , on election day
as faithfully aa those in Cass county the
downfall of Mnjorism Is assured.

TRANSLATION.
( Supplement. )
For Consideration of Bohemian Voters :
Before you vote for Holcomb for frovernor
consider that Iifl Is Inclined to prohibition
and woman suffrage. HU brother is a can
didate on the prohibition ticket for county
attorney In Custer county. With his Influ
ence as governor he will endeavor to have-
those questions , which have been voted
down at one time und which have caused
n great outlay , revived again nnd mibmltted.
Olve woman the ballot and you have pro
hibition on your neck. For these matters
we bnve proof. The populists at Lincoln
pronounce themselves for woman suffrage.
Do not believe Holcomb , who in the hardest '
times loaned money to farmers at 30 per
cent. From this enormous interest he has
become wealthy , and now he present * him
self to you as a man.
Think of these things nnd then vote.

mornltiR with the clerk of the siip'emo court.
Arguments were hoard this afternoon at a

obey the order of the court. *
In the. motion for n new trial filed thtls

Judgment nnd findings of the court were
contrary to law and the evidence ; that the

It Is claimed by local Independents that
the county clerk Is in contempt of court.
There was some talk of moving for his pun
ishment. The Independents were , however ,
evidently deflected from this course by nti-
othr matter , which may result In further
mandamus proceedings. They claimed today
at their headquarters thnt tha Lancaster
county commissioners had appointed all re
publicans on the election boards. This they
urged was contrary Mo law , nnd they are
having the .question looked up by attorneys
This , however1 , la denied nt the counly
building , where it Is claimed that the law
for the appointment of election Judges has
beeen strictly linrrled out.

a poke.
Judge Holcomb talked chiefly of the Issue
aa presented when Majors was nominate * ! by
the railroad Influence , which controlled the
republican state convention , and as developed
and made more apparent In the two months
that hare Intervened. The main question
was whether the people of the state- were la
bow to railroad anil corporation dictation and
vote for a candidate who vould servo the
corporations and not the people , or
vote for a candidate vlia would
serve the people first , though doingno
Injustice to legitimate corporation JnteresU.
He expressed his confidence that next Tues
day the voters of the state ami of Omaha
would clearly perceive the exact situation
and that they would , rebuke the attempt of
railroad managers nnd bankers to combine to
control the administration of the affairs of
the stale. Mr. Itosewator and Mr. Gaftln
emphasized these same po.nls and the utter
ances of all speakers met with the expressed
approval of those who heard them.
AaJtulpj Holcomb was leaving the hall
a man with gray hair shook Ills hand cor

A rousing citizens' meeting was hetd at

for the populists of this county. It was
the occasion of their final rally. Several
speakers were advertised , but Congressman
Kern was the only one present. It had the
effect of drawing a large crowd. U Is es-
tlmated that all the way from 2,000 to 3,000

made a good showing , with 120 wagons and
about 1,000 voters. The absence of Kem

Smith IVtu
The dismissal of. Andrew J. Smith from a
position in the Nebraska National bank , of
which Henry W. Yatesla the president , Is a
subject that , like Banquo'a ghost , will not
down. In yesterday's Bee Mr. Yutes , in a
card , said that Smith waa guilty ot an act
which would have caused his summary discharge -
charge from almost any Institution.
Last night Mr. Smith called at The J3eo
office and gave his version of the story. Some
elx weeks asp Mr. Smith , who Is a mere boy ,
and not old enough .to vote at the coming
election , was employed In the collection de
partment of tha bank. At thnt time ha had
charge of collections that wore pent out to
other banks. One day It was necessary to
send a collection to a bank at Kearney and.
after writing the letter , Smith added In a ]
postscript , "Boys , what do you think of Hol- ;
comb ? Hurrah ! " :
That was the last lieard of the matter until
the day of Smith's dltchorge. That mornIng -
Ing A. D. Touzalln , collection teller tn the
bank , spoke to Smith and told htm that Mr.
Yates was anxious to know how he stood with
reference to politics. Hearing of this. Smith
went to Yntes and told him that he was a i
democrat , and believed in upholding the
action of the democratic state convention , and 1
that as Judge Holcomb was the nominee of 1
that convention , he felt it his duty to work
for him after banking hours. Ho waa [
free American nr.d thought that he had a
right to vote and work ns he pleased , so long
as it did not Interfere with bis employment In
the bank.
This was the straw that broke the camel's
back , for then it was thai Banker Yates
turned to Smith and told him that no em
ploye of the bank could B out , even after
working hours , and labor In the Interest of
Judge Holcomb. Without discussing tha
matter any farther , Yates told Smith that his
tlmo was up and that he could consider him
self discharged.
Smith had been In the bank for a long tlmo
and had always given the best of satisfaction ,
being considered a reliable and painstaking
young man. Ho was recommended by the
Creightons and many other prominent citi
zens , nnd the fact that in a playful manner
ho wrote these terrible worda at the bottom
of a sheet of "Iron" bank stationary , Is the
horrible crime with which he is charged.

house this evening. In point of numbers
and enthusiasm It was the Largest meeting
of the campaign , and showed the deep in-
totcst the people of Nebraska City take In
the coming election. A long procession ,
headed by the band , marched to the hall
amid the blaze of rotnan candles and rockets.
Senator Allen was the speaker , being Intro
duced by General Van Wyck. The general
made a chart talk , saying the people wore
aroused nnd would throw off the corpora
tion yoke. Ho was laudly applauded. Sena
tor Allen was received with cheers lasting
several minutes. "This Is no ordinary state
election , " he said , "but ono of deep sig
nificance to the people. The money power of
the cast Is attempting to dictate to the people
ple of Nebraska how to voto. "
He paid his respects to the Omaha Busi

hand ot the B. ft M. Ho touched briefly
on the tariff question , and devoted con
siderable time to the money question. Mr.

Kyner Is conspiring wllh certain corporation
representatives to elect Thomas H. 'Dally

was together Mr. Allen T. Rector went In.
The next night the same crowd met anc

Thomas H. Dally appeared upon -the scene
Instead of A. T. Rector. After this las
meeting , waa over Jim Kyner and the rest
of the crowd , with Tom Dally , adjourned to
n saloon near by , and from their conversa
tion In the- saloon It was learned that par
ties In the ward has been seen by A. B
Smith of the B. & M. railway and other
members of the depot corporation , and that
Jim and the boys wera instructed to whoop-
her-up for Itector , but to bo sure and vote
for Tom Dally , as Tom Dally was In the
employ of the Union Pacific Hallway com
pany and could always be counted upon
when they needed him. Jim and the rest
of the gang hit agreed that It was impos
sible to elect Hector , but that they couk
elect Tom Dally.
This same gang of alleged republicans Is
meeting nightly at cither Kyner's or Ask-
wlth's , and during the day they talk Rector
and at night they work for Dally. While
Rector charges that Saundprs Is a corpora
tlon man , the Indications are that the cor
poratlons arc opposing him In the Interests
of Dally and attempting to use Rector to
assist them 'in ' .defeating the republlcai

The gang are loaded with boodle , and the
edict has gone forth that Dally must bo

CHKYRNNU , Wyo. , Nov. 3. ( Speclal.- )
riio campaign In Wyoming this year has
icen prosecuted with unusual vigor nnd tha
outcome Is watched ulth Interest by tha
vholi > country , from the fact that the election
of twu United States collators hinges upon.
the result.
Upon national Issues the people of Wyom-
ng are unquestionably for protection and free
coinage ot silver. The latter Issue was ellm-
tmted from the contest by all three parties ,
republican , democrat nnd populist alikeplac -
ng n free coinage plank In their platform.
Local Issues have , however , been Injected
nto the campaign , which makes the outcome
so far as the legislature la concerned , a llttlo
doubtful.
Tlio democrats have chorci'd the republi
cans with n conspiracy to steal the public )
anils of thu atnto simply because they hnvo
1 cola red In favor of accepting the million
ucro donation given the state under the pro
visions of the arid land law passed by the
ast congress , and entering upon the work
of reclaiming and settling the lands and
Soveloplng the state. The- charge of conspir
acy fell to Ilia ground ot Its own weight , Uo-
cauaa It was shown that aa many democrats
as republicans wera Interested tn tlio work
of Irrigation.
The most conservative estimates glvo the
republicans thirty-seven of the fifty-five
members oC the next legislature. The bal
ance will be about equally divided between
the populists and democrats. This will in-
snro the election of two republican Untied
States senators. Kx-Scnator Francis B. War
ren will unquestionably be one of them. There
wilt bo a lively contest for the other senator-
ship. The leading candidates , ex-Congress
man Clarence D. Clark , Judge J. L. Torrey
( author of the bankruptcy hill ) , and Senator
Joseph M. Carey.
Dots nra offered of 2 to 1 on the defeat of
Congrcsman Coffccn and the election ot
Frank W. Mondell , the republican candi
date. IIU plurality is placed at 2,500 , out
of a total of 17,000 voles. Odds are also of
fered on the election of William A. Richards
for governor andi the other candidates on
the slate ticket.
For the first time In the history of the
state the populists have an Independent
ticket In Ihe field. Their strength Is nn un
known quantity , but all the party maniigera
concede that In thla election they will draw
from the democrats moru than from the re
publicans.
WAHKBN ON WYOMING POLITICS.
Ex-Senator Francis E. Warren made hli
first public addioss this campaign In
Cheyenne tonight. The distinguished speaker
wa tendered a magnificent ovatlol by his
fellow townsmen , bywliom ho Is held tn great
esteem. As lias tieen the case at every re
publican rally held in Cheyenne this fall ,
the audience was limited only by the ca
pacity of the largest auditorium In the city
to hold the great aspemblagB of voters who
turned out to her the doctrines of republi
canism prevented. Again and again were
the sound logic of the senator cheered to the
echo by the vast audience. Ho said In part :
"The Importance of the Impending vordlct
to bo rendered Tiijsilay Is my excuse for
coming before you at the Invitation of tha re
publican committee , to plead as best I may in
the Interest of national success and honor
and for the advancement of our beloved
state , of Wyoming as promised and always
enjoyed under the principles , of sound
finances , protection , reciprocity and Integ
rity."Tho
"Tho time to Indulge In platitudes Is past ,
and it ia Incumbent upon us now to talk
plainly with each other and to see what wa
can do to bring about an Improvement. Wo
are at the forks in the road. Which coures
shall wo pursue ? Shall we follow further
on In the wake of disaster as represented
by 0rover Cleveland , the Sugar trust and thft
venal lightweight democrat charlatanc no
in the political saddle In Wyoming , or shall
wo turn our eyes toward the light of progress ,
of living issues and common decency ! "
Senator Warren then replied to the frca
wool speech recently delivered In Cheyenne
by Governor Osborne. 'Tho fact Is/ ' con
tinued the speaker , "wool growers realized
for their wool In 1K9S and. 1KB ! only from
one-Hi I nl to one-halt the net price realized
In ] KD2 and prior to that time. The- fur
ther fact Is , this reduction , every parllclo
of It , was caused by threatened free wool ,
and later on by the rmssaicc of a free wool
law. Will wool lie higher ? No. It has
dropped slnco the actual passage of the tariff
bill nearly 10 per cent. The wool grower U
robbed of his protection , but the -eastern
manufacturer still enjoys the sama tariff as
before. This is the democratic policy all
over rot > the Americans In favor of Great
Britain nnd rob the -west In favor of the
east. "
The speaker then compared the recordsof
the democratic and republican parties , show
ing that under the republican policy of pro
tection the nation was prosperous , and tha
working classes had employment at re
munerative H&ges. but whenever the detnoc-
racr had come Into complete control of th *
