Exposition hall last night was -well filled
by an enthusiastic gathering of Omaha work-
Ingmcn , who gathered to hear Mr. E. Hose-
water upon the question , "Aro You Men or
Serfs ? "
As soon as the doors of Exposition hat
were opened the great room commenced to fll
with ladles and gentlemen , and before the
jnoctlnc had been called to order fully 2,000
persona were present , with half ns many
moro coming In after the parade upon the
streets , a counter attraction , had been
troucht to n close. The great audience was
a representative one , and , as the argumen
by Mr. Ilosewater progressed , he was frequently
quontly and heartily applauded ,
The meeting was presided over by Mr. A
A. Perry nnd upon the platform were D
Clem Deaver , Ur. llodolf , John Jcffcoat , San
DeNedry. Ell Stoddard. Michael Nelson , T
G. Kehjey. Louis J. Ihms , A. Tlchnor , J. M
Taylor nnd others , whllo upon the floor ther
were hundreds of the leaders of all polltlca
ryfrtleu.
As soon as Mr. Uosowator entered th
hall he was loudly applauded , which np
plausc grew Into a perfect ovation as li
proceeded down the aisle and to a scat upo
Ihe platform.
MULLHALL ON THE ISSUES.
In calling the meeting to order Chair 1113
Terry Introduced Mr. Hlchard Mtillhall , wh
spoka briefly upon the existing polltlca
situation. IIo said that he wanted to ea
a few worda upon some of the loglslatlo
that was passed during the legislative sea
slon of 1890 and 1S91. In a circular whlc
had been scattered upon the streets , -Mr
Mullhall said that therein It was stated tha
during that session Tom Majors had vote
for all labor laws that wcto up for consider *
tlon , supporting them by might and mam
This Mr. Mullhall denounced as a lie , as he
was there as a member of n committee com
posed of himself , T. C. Kolscy and J , M.
Klnney. That committee went to Lincoln
with a petition , asking for the enactment
of Just laws , but they were turned down
by the bankers and those who were acting
In the Interests of Majors. The bill looking
to relief was finally Introduced , but when
It came up for passage , but ono man , War
ren Swltzlcr , voted to have It become a law.
Majors , said Mr. Mullhall , deliberately lied
when ho said that ho voted for the bill , In
stead , ho had voted for a bill which met
with the sanction of Q. H. Hoggs and the
wealthy contractors.
"I am not here , " continued Mr. Mullhall ,
"at the beck and call of politicians , but to
Bay a word In behalf of the laboring men , of
which I am one. I do not want to say how
they shall vote , but I say that when they
look. Into the honest face of Silas A. Hol
comb and then Into that tattooed face of
Tom Majors , I think that they will know
how to cast their ballot tomorrow. It Is
now n question of whether we are free men
or slaves , and I say ( he American working
man will never be a slave. "
Chairman Perry , stepping to the front ot
the platform , said that he had the pleasure
of Introducing n gentleman who was -well
known In Omaha , Edward Rosowater. edl-
lor of The lice , who would discuss the
political Issues as applied to laboring men
of Omahn and Douglas county. The great
audience broke Into loud cheers , which con
tinued for some time , and after It had sub-
Bided Mr. Hoseuater spoke substantially as
follows :
WANTED TO TALK TO WORKERS.
Mr. Chairman , Ladles and Gentlemen , and
Fellow Citizens : The warm greeting you
have given mo hero this evening gives mo
the assurance that you are earnestly desirous
of Informing youwolvej upon the Issues up
on which the present campaign finally rest.
[ particularly desire to address myscly to
night to the middle classes , and especially to
Iho ixago workers who depend upon their
dally ( oil for their living and for the main <
tenance of their families. On the bell that
from over Independence hall proclaimed
liberty throughout all the- land you find the
motto which should Inspire every American
tltlzon when he goes to. the pollj tomorrow.
Upon that bell was Inscribed , "Proclaim
liberty throughout the world to all the
Inhabitants thereof. " The Declaration of
Independence contains three fundamental
truths that all men are endowed
with certain Inalienable rights , among
them being the right lo life ,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Life
was placed first , liberty second , and happi
ness , or the right to hold and enjoy prop-
rrty last. lu those
, . degenerate days a new
doctilno has been promulgated , These mod
ern Ideas seem to place property first , life
next and liberty last. In one of his public
uddrcasea Abraham Lincoln used these words
"I have never had a feeling politically
that did not spring from Ihe Declaration o .
Independence. I hnvo pondered over ohe
tolls that were endured by the ofllcers nd
eoldlera of the army who achieved that In
dependence. I have often Inquired mysel ,
what great principle or Idea It wag that kep
Ihl * confederacy so long together. It was
not the mere matter of the separation ot thi
colonies from the mother * land , but ( hat sen
llment In the Declaration
of Independence
vlilch E ve liberty not alone to the peopl
of this country , but , I hope , to the world lor
oil Xuluro time. It was that which
gave promise that In duo tlmo thi
weight would be lifted from the shoulders hin
nil men. This Is u sentiment embodied In
the Declaration of Independence , Now , n
friends , can the country be saved upon tliti
tails ; If It can , I will consider mysel
one of the happiest men In the world If ;
can help save It. If It cannot be saved upon >
thn principle , It will bo truly awful , IIu
If this country cannot bo saved without glv
Ing up that principle , I was about to say
would , rather ba astastlnatod on this spo
Uu > "irrendwr It. ' These were ths word
_ t the great emancipator , of the great com
moner who sprang from the people.
.IIIEHTIES . CERTAINLY THHEATENBD.
"We are today confronted with very much
he name situation. Can our liberties ba
iroserved t Are our people strong enough
o resist the encroachments ot monopoly
more dangerous to the preservation of our
Ibortlcs than ( ho laws of King George III ?
"You all understand the pressure that has
wen brought to bear upon the people of ) this
state In the present campaign. Thousands of
employes are being coerced to vote for a can
didate who will enable these monopolies to
continue the rule they have exercised In Ne
braska. On August 22 In this very hall a
man was nominated for governor nt the be-
iest of the great corporations of thti state.
Months before that convention assembled
runners wer tent out to all parts of the
state to distribute passes , to pick out cor
rupt tools of the railroads to act ns dele
gates , and to set up straw candidates for the
purpose of turning over delegates to a can
didate for governor whom the railroad were
determined to foist upon the people. In this
very hall this greatest of all villainies was
consummated , and In the presence of 2,000
people It was asserted that this nomination
was the voice of the republican party. Do any
tKllevo that Tom Majors was the free Ui d
untramrtibltd choice of the republican p-x'ty
of Nebraska ? ( Cries uf "No , " "No. " ) Every
body lit this hall will admit that the tank
i nd file of the republican party Is just as
honest nnd Just as much In sympathy v.-Jth
good government as the rank and file of
any party , but the republican party has
fallen Into the control ot leaders who are
controlled by n ring that makes Its head
quarters In the penitentiary Itself. ( Ap
plause. ) Jt was asserted In this hall that
that nomination wns honestly procured , but
the assertion Is as falsa ns the campaign
assertions mode by Tom Majors on the stump
throughout the state. Delegates were ap
pointed days a'.ter they had been author
ized , and the names selected nt the private
residence of J. H. Ager , the paid tool of
the 11. & M. Other delegates were brought
here pledged for Jack MncColl , but after they
reached this city they were swung over to
the Majors side. Do any of you believe
that they received a revelation In their
dreams ( laughter ) that led them to believe
that Tom Majors was annolnted of the Lord ?
( Laughter. ) I think they were led to change
their mind by lubrication. And It Is under
such circumstances that a man was nom
inated who will tomorrow be marching lo
defeat. " ( Applause' )
Mr. Uosewater then hastily sketched over
some of the charges that have been pre
ferred against Thomas J. Majors In the pres
ent campaign , touching particularly upon his
connection with the rings at the state capital ,
his part In the conspiracy for the abduction
of Senator Taylor and other scandals. Ho
then turned his attention to the principal
subject of his address , the responsibility ot
the laboring classes In connection with good
state government. He sketched rapidly the
many changes wrought In the relations be
tween capital and labor In the last fifty years
in the United States and showed how the
concentration of capital had enabled great
companies and corporations to control the
wages and service of hundreds of thousands
of wage earners.
RECOURSE OP THE WORKER.
"The only thing left for the laboring men , "
ho said , as he proceeded , "tho only legitimate
means in their power for opposing these
gigantic combinations of capital , Is the forma
tion of wage earners of all classes Into bodies
of organized labor unions. ( Applause. ) In
no other way can laboring men succeed. I
have been a wage earner myself , having
worked at my trade for thirteen years , and
for n great many years I htve been an em
ployer of workers. I will confess to you
frankly that the men employed in my own
stabllshment would not be able to receive
he wages they now have had It not been
or organized labor unions. ( Cheers. ) The
nly two weapons you have are the union and
he strike. This may be a sad statement ,
ut It Is true. I do not care what the labor
ommlssloners say , for as a rule they are the
Id-gloved servants of the corporations , any-
vay , the strike has been the only means by
which labor has fcuccessfully upheld wages ,
t Is only by eo-opcratlon that labor can re-
tst the pressure of organized capital.
"There Is another remedy aside from the
.rado union. It Is the ballot box. ( Cheers. )
lust think of the pressure that has been
iroucht to bear upon the wage earners of
his state. Just think what the consequences
quences will bo" to yourselves If you bow
down to these corporations who are today
attempting to dictate how you shall cast
'our votes tomorrow. Tonight there marched
; hrotiKh the streets of this city a proces
sion made up largely of men who had been
compelled by orders of their employers to
lartlclpate. They carried torches paid for by
he I ) . & M. and filled with oil donated by
the Standard Oil company. Those men were
degraded by their employers. They hired
their services to the U. & M. , but they did
tot barter their manhood. And yet they
were compelled to sell their manhood In
order to hold their places. It was onq of
the most dls agrseable attempts to ride down
rrcedom of political thought over attempted
ti Neobraska.
"In the early days the serfs were com-
oelled to wear an Iron ring around their
necks as a badge ot their slavery. In those
dors and In this state the men who are en
slaved by these corporations are required to
wear a Majors badge upon their coats to show
that they belong to the railroads. I am very
much mistaken If the men that have thus
tjocn Intimidated and degraded do not tomor
row resent the Insults that have been heaped
upon them. ( Applause. )
"What happened here the other day : A
young clerk , not yet old enough to vote , was
illschargcd from the Nebraska National bank
because ho had dared to assert that Hol
comb was an honest man and that he had
been honestly nominated. He. was deprived
of his place because he hud an opinion of his
own. Hut that Is not the worst of It. After
the facts had been printed Mr. Yates came
out and cast a stigma upon the name of
that young man by Insinuating that he had
been guilty of some crime for which ho
would have been discharged by any Institu
tion. What does that mean ? It means that
that young man has been blacklisted , when ,
as far as 1 can learn , his only crime was a
hurrah for Holcomb. Now I want to ask
you If your company can blacklist you If you
refuse to comply with Its political wishes ?
The mart who will blacklist an employe on
account of his political opinions ought to be
sent to the penitentiary. ( Cheers and a
voice , hurrah for Majors. ) That's right , you
have earned your $ 10. ( Great laughter and
applause and the name voice , "Hurrah for
Majors. " ) Well , perhaps It was $15. ( Ap-
plauso. ) There art ) about COO fellows like
you tramping nround Omaha hurrahing for
Majors nt so much par tramp. ' ( Applause. )
"Wage workers , I appeal to you to sa to
It that the next legislature passes a law that
will prohibit blackmailing and make It a
criminal ofleiiEOl ( Applause. ) How are you
going to get that law ? lly electing Majors ?
( Cries of "No , " "No. " ) You will get it by
electing Judge Holcomb , for ho will not veto
such a law after | t Is passed nnd you all
know that Majors would. "
HOW CAPITAL ENCUMBERS LABOR.
Mr. Roscwater then read the following ex
tracts from Henry D , Lloyd's recent work on
"Wealth Against Commonwealth , " to Illus
trate the manner in which capital had
gradually encroached upon the rights of
labor :
The railroad companies engaged In. min
ing- and traniportlni ; coal are practically
In a combination to control the output and
fix the price. They have a practical monop
ely of the- production , the transportation and
the fcale ot anthracite coal. During
the tlrst forty years , congress reported In
1SSS , the mines were worked by Individuals ,
just s are farms. The hundreds of em
ployes were In active competition with each
other for labor. The fundamental law chef
supply and demand alike governed all par
ties. As to cnsiifieiiK'Ht. employer nnd irn
ploye stood upon n common level of equal
ity and manhood. Skill and industry on the
part of the miner insured to him steady
work , fair wageH. honest measurement and
humane treatment. Hhould these be denied
by ono employer many other employers
were ready to Rive ( Hem. The miner had
the same fret-dom na to engagement , the
game reward for faithful fervlce and pro
tection against Injuptlco that the farm hand
possesses because of the competition be
tween farmers employing hands.
This virtual combination of all employers
Into ono syndicate luut practically abolished
competition between them as to wages ; and ,

NEW YORK , Nov. G. "On the cva of'
battle , " "resting under arms" nnd similar
phrases were current nt Ihe various political
headquarters today. Mott of these places
were almost deserted , as many of the man
agers have gone homo to vote. An exception
to the rule was the case of Chairman Hnckett
at the republican state headquarters , In the
Fifth Avenue hotel , who having paired votes
with a friend In Utlca , will remain here
until after election , He said today nothing
had occurred to change the estimates of
republican success already made public.
On the other hand , Chairman Thacher , at
democratic state headquarters , before leaving
for Albany this afternoon , gave out an es
timate that Morton would have not more
than 40,000 plurality above the Harlem river ,
and that to overcome this Hill would have
pluralities of over 60,000 In this city , at
least 10,000 in Kings county , and from 1,000
to 1,200 In Richmond county. Mr. Thacher
admitted , however , that Erie county , which
the Hill men have been claiming by some
5,000 votes , was at best doubtful.
Confident claims are made by both sides
on the local Issues. The supporters of the
committee of seventy ticket predict that
Tammany will be drowned by n "tidal wave , "
and say that tor this reaton , all estimates
of figures on the local result are worthless.
At the headquarters ot Hugh J. Grant this
afternoon , the Tammany candidate for mayor
Issued a statement , In which he asserts that
"Tomorrow the democrats of the city of
Now York will give an overwhelming plu
rality for the state ticket headed by David
H. Hill , and the county ticket headed' by
myself. "
He continues : "I shall assume the mayor
alty on January 1. pledged only to give of-
liees to > men who can nnd will administer
them for the public good , " and adds-
"Being a democrat , I shall use democratic
means to do whatever the- public needs to
have done. "
Mr. Grant declares the Lexow committee
has "finally thrown asldo the cloak of
anxiety for the public good and lias appeared.
Just as the Ifasset committee appeared In
the week bel.oro election day In 1SBO , as an
utterly partisan republican body , "
Among other statements the Grant head
quarters made today was that the members
of the Hebrew order of B'nnl llrlth were
working against Mr. Beekman , the seventy's
candidate for judge of the superior court ,
on the ground that he had cast a 'elur on
their race by saying ; "The action of1 Bueh
people Is contemptible when o committee
of the order appeared before the legisla
ture last year to ask the home for aged and
Infirm Hebrews In Yonkers be exempted
from taxation. "
. Jn predicting today the success of the
antl-Tnmmany ticket , Campaign Manager
Jerome of the committee ot seventy said
ho believed the voters would cot to the polls
early , and he was sure that In this event
the seventy candidates would win by over
whelming majorities ,
Great Interest Is taken by all politicians
and by voters generally In the subject of the
weather tomorrow. Despite today's storm
the weather bureau predicts clear weather
for election day. and It Is believed the tul-
fillment of this prediction Is worth thou
sands of votes to the repubIcns. !
Superintendent Byrnes ordered thit nil po
licemen on duty at the polls tomorrow shall
b ; detailed to precincts where they do not
regularly belong. This , 'it Is believed , will
prevent Improper acts by the police under
the Influence of election officers and others
with whom they are personally familiar
and friendly.
There was a good deal of heavy betting at
the St. James and other uptown hotels today
and also In the Stock exchange circles , The
general odds were 5 lo 2 on Morton
as against Hill , and nbout 5 to 4 In
favor of Strong against Grant , Of course
there was considerable variation In the terms
of the various wagsrs , but the odds noted
were about the average. There was little
betting on pluraltles.

ST. LOUIS , Nov. S. The political cam
paign closed quietly here tonight. Only three
state ofllcea are to bo filled , nnd the demo
cratic candidates for congress will be elected
by probable pluralities of from 15,000 to
20,000. Two years ago the democrats had
a plurality of SO.OOO. but since then the
populists have greatly Increased their
strength , and the new blood has baen largely
drawn 'irom the democratic plurality. Jn
Ihe congressional districts the republicans
claim they will gain two and possibly four
members. In the Twelfth district in this
city they expect to elect Stcrrett over Cobb ,
the present member , and In the Fifteenth ,
which Is in the lead and zlno mining region
of the state , they confidently expect to elect
Hurton. A hot fight has been waged in
the Fourth or St. Joseph district , the Fifth
or Kansas City district and the Eleventh , ono
of the St. Louis districts , and the vote will
probably bo close , with indications In favor
of Joy , republican , In the Eleventh , and of
Ellison and Torsney , democrats. In the other
two. In the Eighth district "Silver Dick"
Illand will no doabt be re-elected by a small
plurality. The other districts will elect
democrats , except the Tenth , which Is the
only dead sure republican district In the
state. The democrats assert there " 111 be
no change In the state's delegation , but admit
that thu democratic majorities will be some
what reduced In the lumber region of tiie

LOUISVILLE , Nov. B. Kentucky tomor

full term and one in the Tenth district to
fill out the unexplred term of Congressman
Lisle , deceased ; four appellate Judges and
county officers. The campaign lias been
one of excitement from the- beginning , the
republicans being more aggressive than ever

In which Owens Is the democratic nominee
and Judge Denny the republican. Owens'
election is made doubtful because many s'of
the friends of Drecklnrldge have refused
to support him. The feeling between these
factions Is Intense- and bitter. The really
doubtful districts are the Third , Fifth , Ninth ,

equally divided , In this , the Fifth , there
Is a suppressed feeling of excitement this

Over 100 republican election ofllcers ve

election returns In Chlcago'ana elsewhere In
the west. The work In many respects , will
be on a scale never before1 attempted and Is
to be accomplished In part , at leas.t , by
methoda entirely novel. The Western Union

bulletins to their customers , clubs , theaters
and other resorts at the usubl rales , covering
the country more rapidly and thoroughly , It
Is expected , according to the greatly In
creased number of men employed , than on
any previous similar occasion. The most
unlquo feature of the work1 , probably , will
bo In the- methods to bee .utilized by the
Long Distance Telephone pdronany , which , In
connection -with , the Chicago Telephone com

by furnishing free to all \tlio have tele

legislation frauds are lively topics of con-
fersntlon In the city this overling. At the
ocal Independent headquarters ( here Is a
1st of nearly 100 names which Is being held
, 'or ' further action tomorrow. These names ,
t la claimed , are of parties who have regls-
leretl from vacant lots , nnd these who have
: akcn out their first naturalization papers
within thirty days and subsequently regls-
ercd. Such registration Is clearly Illegal ,
as the law distinctly states that first natural-
zatlon papers must be taken out thirty days
prior to an election. At democratic hrad-
luartera It was said that warrants were
being secured for these Illegally registered
parties . , and would be Immediately served
upon their attempt to vote tomorrow. Chair-
man James O'Shee says that the committee
lad polled each ward In the city , nnd knows
that the suspected parties nra not legal
voters. Ono man who look out his .first
inturallzution papers last Saturday regis
tered the. same day.
"Wo have , " ho continued , "the
names of many men who have
registered from vacant lots. There are forty-
wo of them Jn one precinct and we have the
names of twenty-six men who are registered
"
"rom one llttlo cottage. " Such wholesale
attempts at fraud on the part of Majors
strikers , will be vigorously opposed tomor
row ! should the Illegally registered , parties
attempt lo vote.
Mr. O'Shee further says that he propo'es to
carry the war Into Africa and ree that every
man falsely registered nnd offering to vote
on such registration Is promptly arrested
and Jailed. He docs not anticipate that It
ivlwl bo necessary to cause these arrests by
wholesale , but If the arrest of one or two
samples docs not have Ihe effect of deterring
thor rest of them ho will proceed to extreme
neasures. The
contemplated fraud 1& so
apparent , bold and aggressive thai the honest
rotcrs of all parties are astounded at tl.e
prefaced attempt to steal a majority for
Tom Majors In Lancaster county.
SAMPLES OF THE FRAUDS.
As an example of these gross frauds In
.ho registry It may be stated that precinct
B In the Sixth ward , which never registered
over 150 , is now listed for 1/3 votes. The en-
: lre registry of the city Is sixty-one less than
n 1892. From one six-room house In the
Second ward twenty-two voters are regis
tered. From another three-room house In
precinct B , Sixth ward , eight voters are
registered , Six ; or seven voters were found
registered from land lying between Third and
infill streets , on which are located the B , &
M. tracks , , without a house within Kever.il
hundred yards. It wa suggested that these
would-be voters had registered from box
cars , Some of these very parties have not
only registered minus a local habitation , but
they have1 also taken out their first natural
ization papers within thirty days. Two
parties registered from 605 and 509 South
Tenth street. The lots are-comprised in . ( he
postotnce square , In which ( here Is not a
residence.
Some of the determined citizens , of Lincoln
who are bwit upon breaking the force of this
rtefariflus conspiracy say It Is their Intention
to allow the voter to complete his fraud up
to the point when he Is about to hand In his
ballot tOjthe- Judges and then nab him , The
Lincoln justices before whom these will be
brought arc all republicans , but It Is not
thought they will be at all derelict in the
execution of ( heir duty. One of them , 13 E ,
Spencer , sa > & he will remain In his oflicc all
day and bo ready to hear cases that may b ;
brought before him. He further says thai
If In any casehe finds that the- election laws
of the- state of Nebraska have been vlolato :
ho will punish the offender by the extreme
limit of the law. This he will most certainly
do , regardless of partisan bias or polltlca'
favor.

B. & M BRINGS TWO CARLOADS.
The B. & M. road today brought In two cir-
loads of men from some point south. It Is
considered certain that It Is for the purpose
of colonization , end with a. view to vote then
on the names registered from the vacant lots
This the road will be unable to accomplish ns
both democrats and populists are on to the
game , and both parties will havercprosenta
live challengers at the polls.
The "Illiterate voter" bunco game on the
part of the Majors ward heelers has been
run down and this contemplated fraut
smoked out. Lincoln Is decidedly too gmal
a city for such a transparent scheme to be
successfully worked. In some of the pre
cincts almoet even * voter knows his neighbor
and It will be extremely difficult for a runt
to sell his vole and deliver proof of having
done so along : with thegoods. .
That ( here Is a conspiracy ( o defraud the
ballot box nt every point possible tomorrov
no one doubts. The revelations of today have
awakened citizens to the enormity of th
offense contemplated. It Is likely to go lian
with | all offenders convicted , and they arc certain
tain lo be- punished if caught red handed In
the t act. There ore too many watching fo
Btioh attempts. The watchword Is "let no
guilty man escape. " The feeling in the city
tonight Is one of calm confidence In the dec
tlon ot Judge Holcomb.
A republican traveling man , whose terri
lory embraces Colorado , Nebraska and Knn
sas , hit $100 today that the republican
would be victorious In Colorado. He sali
ho had $100 more to bet against Governo
Walto , but found no takers. A promlncn
democrat offered to cover It on Holcamb Ir
Nebraska , but ( he commercial man decline )
to bet on Tom Majors , stntlng that It wa
his judgment , formed I'rom close observation
in almost every county in the state , tha
Majors was a defeated man.

Peon tern pi a ted frauds nt the election booths
n this city and elsewhere hnvo been made
vlthln the post forty-eight hours.
The Majors managers , who have been dls-
ensitig money nil through the campaign
i-ltli the. most lavish hand , have not ox-
taustcd tha resources nt their coin ma nd.
ut hnvo fd nn Immense coiruptlon fund lo
jo used where it will do the most good ,
whllo ( ho polls are open. They have
carchctl through the Australian ballot law
or flaws which might ciuble them to trnco
I Majors votes into the box , nnd
hey think they have hit upon a scheme
vlilch " 111 afford an easy nnd eato handIng -
Ing of the purchasable vet ° rs ,
TAMI'EIUNG WITH 11ALLOT3 ,
This audacious scheme Is nothing less than
his : The law provides that where a duly
efiijtcred voter Is ready to Bwe.tr that ho-
s cllher unable to read -nnd write , or la
thervvlse- disabled from prepaiing his own
billet himself , he muy have ths assistance
f ono of the judges ot election for ( his
purpose. The Judge In this Instance Is per-
nlttecl to accompany the voter Into tha
nclosure and to mark his bal ot for him
n accordance with his directions.
The Major * men propose to "taka advantaga
jf this provision of the law and arc said to
lave secured for this end ( he services of a.
lumber of Judges of clect'on In different
\ards ami precincts , particularly thoseIn
vlilch there- arc large bodies of voters who
' .innnt read and write theKnnllsh language. j
Tlioy jitopose literally to buy up these voters , -5
.nil the Judges who stand In with ( hem ar& tn i |
see to It that the goods are delivered.
The method of operation Is comparatively i
'imple. The workers vho have the mono ;
o dispense and the judges In question have
iriarranned a set of signals by wlijch thoy-
are to .inform one another that each has car-
airj
rled.Biit his part oftlo , ) progranu. The votes ]
who wants to sell his vote Is to be paid a
diiiall sum down and furnished with A. Major * '
sample ballot and a card or signal that will
enable the Judge to Identify him , When sent
nto the voting booth lie Is ton to ask for tha
assistance of a particular judge , It only ones
s In on the game , and the latter makes up
ho ofllelal ballot to correspond with that
nipplicd by the worker on the outside. The
udge Is also to put a secret mark upon the
ample ballot or the card of Identification.
\\hich when carried back to the worker , en
titles the voter to the balance of the money
agreed to be paid him.
MAJOHS AT ALL HAZARDS. <
These Judges who have been llxul have also -2
been Instructed to mark the official " / -
liallot for Majors whenever they are called
ipon to prepare ballots for Ignorant or dis
abled voters , no matter whether the latter
direct them lo mark their ballots for Hol-
rMinb or not. This Is In direct violation of
tliu election law and render ! ! the judges whole
lo It liable to arrest argl sentence and penat
servitude , but the Majors men arc desperate *
and will stop at no chances. They propose )
to capture the entire vote of those unabla
to read and write English. They are willing
to pay for that vote where It Is purchasable
and are ready to steal It Where It Is not on
the market.
If this scheme could have been
sprung suddenly upon the public
without having It known to any
' \cept those who are on the Inside , It
might possibly have proved successful. Butte
to bo forewarned Is to be forearmed. Pre
cautions have been taken to nip these plans ,
n the bud. The judges who have been tam
pered with are all on the list of suspects and *
the first ar.o to mnko a moveIn conjunction
with the boodle crowd will nnd himself
.mder arrest with the grave charge of vlo-
' .itlnc the election laws preferred .against
'dm. ' In every precinct where this schema-
tias been slated. Intelligent foreigners who
"omo under the description of those who can
not read and write the English languaga
jnd who are entitled to the assistance of the
ludges In preparing ihelr ballots will j )
make the test. They will try the Judges to Jj
see If they glvo the signals or rccret marks , V.
it which they will be apprised , nnd tha first
* \gn \ of corruption will be the signal for an ,
arrest. They will also Watch the Judges In.
'ha preparation of ballots , and keep tab on-
them , to Insure them marking the name or
Holcomb whenever so directed. The judge.
who dares to disregard the direction of the.
voter will not long retain his ofllclal posi
tion.
Thtro may bo other schemes hy which th ' . ;
Majors men hope to purchase votes , but thfe
Is the one they have been relying upon an *
for which all the details have been per
fected. Under the Vigilant watch nf the mea
In charge of Judge Holcnmb's Interests thin
wholesale purchase of votes with ( he rein-
nnnt of railroad boodle will hurdly bo ef
