Judge Ilolcomb. Judge llolcomb In a recent speed declared thai the unholy Influences which had brought about the nonilna lion of T. J. Mnjora would follow the republican nominee 1C elected to the ollice of governor and render him help less In any effort to Kerve the best Iiv torosts of the peuplu of this state , Majors would , If elected , be us clay h tliu hands of corporation bosses , while the people would pay the freight Tin1 only way to rout and scatter the horde of blood-suckers and ple-bltora tha have for years Infested the stale cap Itat Is to elect Sihis A. Ilolcomb to the governor's chair. Thu total iinnllilhi turn of that gang of hmrgry camp fol lowers Is iletnnnded and will b acconi pllslu-d mi Tuesday of this week. There arc hundreds ot young men h this city and state who will cast the ! maiden votes Tuesday. To many o. . them the Question will present itself Can I afford to condomtlio record of i notoriously bad man nnd help to pu hi in lu the governor's oliulr ? Wo asl these young voters to consider well th. charges made against Thomas J , Ma Jo re , most of which are supported h the record proofs and tire not to h. brushed aside as mere newspaper cam jmljcu thunder.

The closing hours or the campaign are ow upon us. t'pon the oulcome tiea ends not merely the wenl of the Htitte , ut also the future of the republican arty In Nebraska. From every stump nd Derosa' road fervenl appeals have jcen made by parly hacks ami sky rocket orators for the support of the tin- scratched ticket from head to foot. The ante and Ale of the party have been purred up In patriotic fervor and par- Isan zeal. In the face of the Indefi'ii- Iblc record of the standard bearer they lave been asked to ratify the choice of he corporate octopus that has Its head i llitrllngton headquarters and Its tenK acles clamped over nearly every concern lontrolled by franchlsed corporations. 1'hey have been admonished to close heir eyes nnd grit their teeth over the ullgestlble dish and vote for the wliole Icket this time because this Is a repubc lean year. Now , we ask thoughtful republicans o look the Issue svnmrely In. the face nd ask themselves what chances there re for carrying Xebraskii two years iciice for the national ticket If the iarly has not the moral courage to purge tself this year by rejecting sx candidate > vhoe election would afford proof posl- Ive of utter degeneracy and milwerv- ucy to monopoly In Its most offensive 'oriu. The election of Majors this year loans not only a surrender of the state o the keeping of the railroad czar and tale house plunderers , but it must urply carry with It n defensive cam- ntlgii two years lience , when Majors l present himself fur re-election. A'liat hope will there be of carrying he state with such a load , and espe- Inlly after 10,000 dlxgusled republicans , , vho still hope nnil pray for the ixvlemp- Ion of the grand old party , have left ts fold to swell the ranks of the popu- Ists ? Patriotism and partisanship should nsplro all thoughtful and conscientious 'epubllcans ' to discharge a painful duty i.v administering a rebuke nt the polls omorrmv that will purify and vivify lu > .party and place It In position to liter the campaign of ISflO'nnciulmr- itBsed and Invincible. WHAT / /i\vs.s : MIN ; snour.n no. lOvery wholesale denier in Oinnlm now 'oncedes ' ( hut the attempt lo urray the tankers and merchants of < hs ! city gainst Judge. Ilolcomb and on the side \f \ the Utirllnglon caiulldntc for gov- rnor was u vety grave and costly luiider. Bvery Jobbing firm In the Ityvlio e name appeared on the Intsi- men's nmnlfe.Mlo has lost patron- in the country towns nnd aroused i-hostility against all Omaha dealers It will Uiku ninny months , If not rears , to overcome. It Is also conceded , hiit the offensive manifesto has been [ u godsend to competing joTiblng centers uul rival jobbing Iwnses lu other cities. The question now Is- what policy should Omaha jobbers pursue to undo he mischief ? It must be manifest to > very Intelligent niorclmnt nnd man- ngers oC jobbing Hrnw that the election tf Majors. If such n thing was possible , would only intensify the feelllig of hos- lllty toward Oinnliu nnd widen the hiisin between Omaha jobbers nnd the retail merchants In the Interior of ( lie jtjite. If Oinnlm merchants follow the lietates of the Burlington czar Tuesday Hid attempt to mass ( heir votes against Ilolcomb they will tdiuply cut their own throats. On Ihe other linml , If they : etly accept the Inevitable and give Ilolcomb a respectable majority In this county they will conciliate the country merchant ! ) and fanners nnd regain the ground they have lost within a. short time. Quite apart from these considerations Omaha jobbers are vitally concerned In he election of Hotcomb. Kvery Jobber n the city , Including those who have > een favored with rebates , concedes that thu maximum rate hill , as framed by the last legislature , will , whenever It is allowed to go Into force , make Omaha the most Important distributing center west of Chicago. It Is now almost ab solutely certain Hint this bill will bo thrown Into tlie next legislature by the Impending decision of Judge Brewer , by reason of some technical defects. When these defects have been reme died by the legislature the bill will go to ihe governor for approval. Every body In Nclirnakn knows that Majors would 1:111 the bill by Ids veto If he oc cupied tlic governor's chair , just as he would "kill every other bill which thu Burlington czar would ask him to veto. Is It to the Interest of Omaha jobbers and manufacturers thnt they shall con tinue In a stale or commercial vnssalaga to the Burlington or nny other railroad ? Would It not be to their Interest to have the railroads subjected to reasonable regulations so thnt Omaha could com pete with Chicago and St Louis for trade ? Would It not he much safer for the state and for Omaha to have for Its chief executive a conservative , honest executive , who IH free from nil obliga tions to corporate monopoly and who would approve all laws ns are In thu interest of the shipper and producer. The Hue ventures to make these sug gestions to the business men of Omaha becau.se , In common with them. It will share Omaha's prosperity or hUfTcr by her adversity. The Iteo Is firmly con vinced that the leal Interests of Omaha demand the election of lloleomb In order that this city may regain commer cial supremacy lu the territory tribu tary to It , ami this Interest should be protected regardless of the wall from Now Kiiglantl coupon-clippers and New Yorlc stock-jobbers. VhCl.E SAM AND HIS 1)AUO11TKII , Uncle Bam has a marriageable daugh ter. Her name Is Nebraska. Two suitors ura courting her and suppliants for her hand. One of these springs from an' honorable family that prides Itself on Ita ancestral record , the other springs from a family of pluhlans that are looked down upon and are generally In lll-rcputp. The suitor who prides .himself upon hta blue Mood Is the black gticcp of tlio family. The other Is n clean ! , upright young man , whose family connections nre n drawback to his court ship. ' The good futility Is the republi can party ami the black Kheep Tom Majois. Which c r Hie two suitors would you have Nebraska accept for better or for wo we ? Would you advice her to Ivu preference * to thu black sheep Just because ' ' his family bears a good reputa tion ' ? Would you not lather advise her to marry Ihe honest young innii and bear wtintovpr ? odium might attach to his progenitors , who fused with the mudsills Instead of the. silk stockings iiml hare no federal patronage to their name. Kepuhllcfliis of Nebraska , put your selves in Uncle Ham's place next Tues day nnd see to'It that Nebraska gives her heart and hand to a man whom she can respect and trust implicitly. KKKl' IT Jlht'OfibUlIK VOTKHA In the closing hours of the campaign the voters who will on next Tuesday de cide between honest state government and venality and corruption will do well to remember the fact that none of the 'lons charges against Thomas J. Ma jors have been disproved or speelllcally denied by him. It has been charged and not denied that In the last two sessions of the legis lature the looms of lieutenant ( ! ov- ernor Majors were the rendezvous of the railroad lobby and that In his private ollice the plans * to tliuart the will of the people ' ' were laid by the corporation managers. It has been charged but not denied that the room of l.lciitounnt Governor Majors at tlie state house was turned into a dram shop for the purpose of corrupting members of the legislature. It has been charged and not denied that Majors took doable mileage from the state , lecelvlng pay for liSS miles in one session and 1S30 miles at the last one , when , In fact , under the statutes he Is entitled lo no mileage at all. It has been charged but not denied that Tom Majors Is a gambler and the companion ot professional gamblers ; that he has won as high asK)0 ! ) at a single sitting ftom a man deeply In terested In legislation nt the state cap ital. ital.It It has been charged but not denied that Tom ! Majois sold a tract of land to a Hun lu York on tli-c claim that it contained ; t'JO acres and that when he gave the deed it culled but for 18 acres. Majors even declined to explain the charge when nrule nt n public meeting at York at which he was the principal speaker. It Is charged by Senator Thomson of Dodge comity that a f w weeks prior to the opening of the last session of thu , legislature Tom Majors presided at a meeting of senators in the I'nxton hotel , In this city and that the object of the meeting was to arrange a combination between the republican and democratic , senntois by which the state Senate could be j organized In such u way as to defeat any ( | and all legislation affecting the mil- road uud other corporations. This charge has never been denied. It has ibeen charged and uojthcr de nied nor explained that nt tlic , opening session of the" last legislature the rail road senators caucused in Tom Majors' room at the Capital hotel every night for nearly two weeks In an effort to pre vent the antl-monopolj senators from rapturing the organization "of the senate. It has been charged but never denied that during all the time that tlie maxi mum rate bill was pending Lieutenant Governor Majors by bis arbitrary and unfair parliamentary rulings did every thing In his power to obstruct and finally defeat that measure. It has been charged and never dls proved that Tom Majors was a parti' to th'e attempt to defeat the Newberry bill four years ago by the abduction of Senator Taylor. It has been repeatedly charged and never denied that Majors as lieutenant governor nnd presiding ofllcer of the senate recognized the pair between Sen ator Tnyloi nnd Senator Brown of Washington counts' , nnd then In the afternoon a Her-Taylor had been bur rled away from the city deliberately denied that the absent senator had been excused , thereby precipitating the sovontj'-llvo-hour deadlock. It is charged and admitted that Majors assisted Walt Seely in defrauding the state treasury out of $75 on the fraiulu lent Taylor voucher. It Is charged , and no attempt Is made at denial , that Mnjora Is the candidate of the corporations and thnt if he Is elected lie Is expected to and will veto any Important legislation looking to the regulation and restraint of these cor porations. RKVIKW OF THK FIKLD. The campaign throughout the country which closes today lias very generally been fought with great vigor nnd earn estness. As the situation now looks It seems certain that the paramount ques tion of the political complexion of the next house of representatives will bo decided In favor of the republicans , Itepubllcan gains of congressmen In every northern state are confidently expected , and there appears to be no yasou to doubt that there will be gains in the south which will at least double the republican representation from that section , nnd may do better than that The house of representatives contains , ' { Ti ( ) members , the majority being 170 , In the present house" the republicans have 117 ! members , so that In order to obtain control of the next house they must hold the seats they now have am make a gain of 52. Assuming tha there will bo an Increase of six fron the sixteen states constituting the solli : south , the other twenty-eight states must furnish a republican gain of forty six representatives In order to make bare majority. That they will do bet tor than this ought to be an entirely safe prediction , but It Is apparent ther can bo no very largo republican major Ity In the next house of representatives A snfe working majority U nil that can reasonably bo expected , Thu state campaign to which the at tent Ion of the country barf been mos largely directed Is that of Now York because it Is generally admitted tha the result of tomorrow1 ! ) election In tha state will have a mo.st Imiwrtant bear Ing upon tlie national contest of twc years hence. It will have to be con ceded that Senator Hill has made wonderful tight under the clrcumatunc.eg , ami wlillp Ills defeat appears to bo assured rftW ! prcslfge ns a bold and ng- gresslve .lender cannot suffer much tln-reby. > rr The republicans have nlsil made n Mining nnd earnest campaign , and having 11 thu conditions favorable to them Hhinild elect Mr. Morton gov- mo r IiyvtfrSo of the largest pluralities ver Blvouti5'n , candidate lu the Empire late , Tim situation lu New York City veins ti"'pi-omise the defeat of Tain- many , butlti\oiild not be safe to count upon till * us .assured , so great and all- . > orvadliu urO the resources of that or ganization3 ! fln New York the situation ; ot ks fnvorYillle for the republicans , and hat parlywill of course sweep Massa- . liusctts.IVimsylvanla and Ohio. Indiana s expected to show large republican gains , and Illinois , where the senate- lal tight 1s tliu paramount Issue , will uidonbtedly go republican. There hns eeu some doubt aboul the lesult in WlKcoiisln. but tlic latest information warrants the belief that a republican covernot will be chosen in that state. The republicans .of Minnesota are conll- lent of victory.- Iowa will roll up a arge republican plurality nnd may send solid republican delegation to congress - gress , The indications are favorable o the election of republican governors n Kansas and Colorado. Republican success In both of the Dakotas Is as- tired. The most Interesting congressional ontest of the campaign is that In the Second "Wo t Virginia district , where Mr. Wilson Is seeking re-election. lie s made a splendid tight nnd demon strated his great popularity , but the ham-OS are that lie will be defeated by a small majority. Another Interest ing contest Is that In the Twenty-first Ohio district , where Tom Johnson , a ; U'oniunced free trader and single tax advocate- , has carried on n most unique ampalgn. The probability Is that Mr. Johnson will be , retired. The result of he contests In the BUgar districts of " .outsiana will be regarded with no small degree of Interest , and tlio out look ts for the election of two , and per- nips three , republican representatives. THROW NO VOTfib AWAY. Kvisry vote cnat for the Sturdevnnt straw ticket.Is a vote thrown away. It s a vote wo 10 than thrown away. The ilstory of that ticket shows that It was ii slum and a fraud from its very in- ceptlon. After the democratic state con vention had almost completed Its work and had nominated Judge Ilolcomb as .he regular dY'inocratlc candidate for governor about Jifty delegates withdrew ] to the PajJton hotel , where , reinforced by Euclid J tartin ami a few other rail mid tliMiioc 'utfj who had not the shadow of a claim tv be delegates to any con vention , they agreed Informally upon n lummy ticket , ' To complete the Impos- turc , papers were sent to Lincoln , to gether witbiSuveral false atliduyHs , early thu next morning and.Hied , as It were , before breakfast , In order t6 cucher the regular eortVl-ntron nominees out of tholr places on ihc olllcial ballot. Protests were liuinpdkitcly made against such outrageous/ proceedings , which finally end oil In the rejection of .the democratic ruinp tlckej Deprived oflfocognitlon us party convention , the. rumps , aided and abetted by the Majots republicans , bestirred themselves to procure petitions for Ihelr candidates , who were uow masquerading uuder the designation "straight democrats. " The- > Intent and purpose of this designation are to be guile the voter Into believing that thu names after which it occurs are the inmcs of the nominees of the democratic parly. So palpable uas the fraud that the district court for this judicial dis trict Issued an order Thursday com pelling the county clerk to add the words "by petition , " so that the designa tion shall appear as "straight democrat by petition" on the ollicial ballot for Douglas county. The Burlington rail road sent Us own lawyers , retained on annual siilurles , to oppose thu order , as If anything more were needed to expose the whole Sturdevant ticket ns stool- pigeons for the Majors railroad com bine. The Sttirdovnnt ticket will therefore catch no democratic votes thnt can by tiny possibility be turned to the tat- toouil republican candidate. It hopes to poll democratic votes of two classes. Firstof those democrats whom Its fraudulent ilesignatlon may deceive. Second , of those democrats who are not aware that It Is u straw ticket In the In terest of the republican candidate. As to the first It Is essential that every dem ocrat be warned of the fraud which the rumps are attempting to practice. No one should penult himself to bL misled by the lying designation. As to the second end ! ignorance will ho the only excuse for those who become voluntary victims of the clicat There Is but ono candidate for governor who embodies the opposi tion to railroad domination , boodlcrlsin and state house corruption. That candi date. Is Silas A. Holcomb. Every vote withheld from him Is a vote to perpetu ate the reign of oil room lobbyists and stiitn treasury , looters. It Is a vote to turn the state'government , over to the agents of tlieJfi | [ > | Ufederated monopolies. A vote for theiSUirdevant ticket Is throw ing away a' vbte that may bis used to rebuke rajfro/jl arrogance nnd stamp- ] out comiptiou In public ollice. Throw no votes The B. & < M. Journal says that the republican rsfnte conimlttcemou have abandonedlibcfr rooms in this city and will hereafter devote all their attention to proinotefjtt.lfjtoe ballot and an honest ' count. Thl-j'nJiJ1 decidedly Interesting. When corporation henchmen put up such talk Sini/at / It Is a signal for all ' honest votears' fie bo on their guard. Should there be any fraud In Tuesday's election It will be directly traceable to the horde of corporation nderstrappors who are determined to force Majors Into ollice by fait means or foul.

E IlOSEWATKH. A Uulr UlRliur Tluiii Turty 1'rnltr. Wlstier Chronicle ( rep. ) , Tlio principal arguments urtred by Majors and his supporters IH that he simply stands for his party and the credit of the state. Not able to face Ills record , he hides behind the party. This IH the familiar logic of the professional politician , and Is equivalent to saylnp that the highest duty of the voter Is to support tile ticket of his party regard less ' of all considerations as to the asso ciations , antecedents and worthiness ot can- illdatcij. Such a view of the tnntter Is a verj- convenient one for the purpose of bllenclng objections to Individual nominees and diverting attention from thu real Issues of a campaign. The Tact Is , In this cam paign , so far ns T. J. Major * , H. K. Moore and II. C. nussell are concerned , the In terests of the citizen are paramount to those J of party. They do not represent any one parly so much as they represent all of the corporation men of Nebraska , regardless of tliclr past political adulations. A S.lfe plurality of the voters of Nebraska would cast republican ballots next Tuesday 1C the party had nominated a different man for governor , but who can llnd no excuse for endorsing the. record of Majors nnd pio- motlnK the Interests of the corporations. It Is folly to nay that these voters are bound by parly tcalty to shut their eyes to his uerlous faults , obnoxious methods nnd Indefensible record and regard him only as a figure- hciut He Htands for Majorslsm nnd Hol- dretcelnni , n thing that has definite , practical ami porU-ntous meaning , and that hat ) little or nothing to do with party principles or policies. There It nothing sentimental about it ; It touches the vital concerns of every citizen of the state. The voter owes a higher fealty to his state' and his conscience than to his party name. Especially is this true when his party's grcut and glorious name has been stolfn to nerve his enemy'untler. Those -who vote against Ihe obnoxious can didates upon their ticket nro doing the party a greater service than they could do It by coniptetliiK and latlfylng ut the polls Ihe surrender of the party to the corrupt and corporate element which captured Ihe convention , The question is : Do the rail roads , the boodlers and the Mosher gang of brigands own the voters of the rank and IIlo as they did the delegates lo the conven tion ? If the result of the election- demon strates that they do. God cannot nnd will not save- the republican party of Nebraska. It would be n victory thnt can only lead to ultimate , certain and overwhelming de feat. Fumigate trie republican party , smoke out the Jonahs and render It fit to remain In.

In addition to tlio state olflcers to be elected In thirty states on Tuesday , Novem ber 0 , a number of the states besides New York will vote upon constitutional amend ments and other iionpolltlcal Issues of more or less general Interest. Virginians will decide whether Justices of the pence shall try certain crimes without juries. North Dakota will vote for or against nn amend ment prohibiting the BaJe of lottery tickets.

Kansas will decide whether the right lo vote shall b& extended to women. In Illinois there Is an amendment pending which authorl7.es the legislature to make taus to regulate contracts betwpcn corpora tions and their employes. Several pro posed amendments will be voted upon In California.

It must have required , no little .self-restraint for Colonel Wright to keep silent under this sort of criticism ; but he said nothing1 , and now It appears that al though lie has held a Pullman pass , he gave It up before his appointment on the strike commission. There Is another lesson In this Incident , however , and this Is that It Is awkward. If not absolutely Indecorous , for public olllcera to accept something for nolli Ing- from the managers of public corpora' tlons , even when It comes In the most In nocent and friendly way.

Every candidate and every party leader on the stump must champion HID candidacy of a man wlio Is tattooed with a record of In delible Infamy. Tbey uro confronted at every crossroad with the story of the forged census returns that scandalized the Btuto at tlie national capital and placed a stigma upon the man whom the people of this common wealth had honored with a place In Iho halls of congress as their representative. During two sessions of the legislature In which Ito occupied the responsible and hon orable position of presiding olllccr of Iho upper house by virtue of his election as lieu tenant governor , Mr. Majors was notoriously a tool and capper for the corporation lobby , and exerted all his power and Influence dur ing each session of the legislature lo pro mote Jobbery and assist boodle schemes and obstruct , sidetrack and defeat nil railway regulation bills and measures to curb the rapacity of corporate monopoly. SCANDALIZED THE STATE. During the session of ISl'l the state was scandalized by the abduction of Senator Taylor , a populist , who had been elected on the anti-monopoly platform , which pledged him to support a maximum rate law. It Is notorious that Taylor was on confidential terms with Lieutenant Governor Majors , and especially with Ills private secretary , Walt M , Seely. There Is no doubt whatever that Majors and Seely must have known ot the plot to abduct Taylor In order to keep him from casting his vote for the Newberry maximum rate bill. Taylor's abduction created such a sensation that even If Majors had not been advised about the plot ho could not have been Ignorant of the fact that Taylor 'mil ' disap peared. The fact that Majors directed the sergeant-at-arms to have Taylor arreated shows absolute knowledge on the part of Majors of the disappearance of Taylor. The records ot tlio auditor's office show that Taylor had drawn $262.40 as Ills pay and mileage for tlio session up to the ttmo of his abrupt departure In the middle of March. On March 31 , when the session closed , the following bill , certified to by T. J. Majors as president ot the senate , was placed In the hands of th auditor and a warrant Tlio above Is a fao simile of the certificate signed by Metitcnnnl Governor Majors and approved by the auclllor. as now on file In the oillce of the auditor of state. The warrant for $7.r > was caulml by Wnlt M. Seely , private secretary of the lieutenant , governor , and pocketed by him. Tiiylof never received a penny of this money fraudu lently procured by the connivance of the t'cutenant ' governor. This act nlone stamps Thomns J. Majors as a dangerous man In any public ofnce. When he certified that Taylor had served through the entire term lie knowingly and wittingly committed a grave crime that laid him llablo not only to Impeachment , but to prosecution "S In the criminal courts , Had Majors certified tn a fraudulent voucher In tlje army , or duplicated his own pay In , the army pay roll , he would have been cnurt inarllalcd and cashiered In dis grace.Vhero the offense was as flagrant as the Taylor voucher fraud he would have been made to serve a sentence In n military prison. la this tlie kind of a man the re publicans of Kebratlia nre asked to make chief executive of state and commandcr-ln- > . chief of the military forces of the common wealth ? THH SENATE OIL IIOOM. The climax of Infamy on the part of tlio lieutenant governor was the conversion of his private ofllcc adjoining the senate cham ber Into a legislative oil room. In which liquor was dispensed freely to members of tbo eenalo who were addicted to drink , and to * lobbyist ! ! , male and female , who resorted to' the roam for debauching the law makers. Every fePow who belonged to the gang carried a Yale lock key In his pocket BO as to have access nt alt times , night or day , when the senate was In session , or at recess , to the demijohns and decanters filled with choice brands of liquor , with which tlio lieu tenant governor's room was generously sup plied regardless of expense by the corporate , , concerns whoso bills were to be logrolled through und whoso Interests were to bo pro tected by Ihe bland , affable and accoinmodat- - Ing lieutenant governor. Can republicans stultify themselves and Jeopardize the.r cause by placing a man with such a record at tlie head of the state gov- eminent ?
