LINCOLN , Sept. 10. ( Special. ) The fol
lowing letler has been received by a promt
nent republlcar here from an old-time frlem
In Indiana , peculiarly familiar with con
dltlons In the Hooslcr state , explaining th
Indiana situation-
"FORT WAYNE , Sept. 7 , 1S30. Yours o
the 20th of. August asking for my oplnloi
of tiie political" outlook In Indiana cam
duly to hand. The republican plurality h
Indiana In the coming election will be 40 ,
000 rather more than less than that nuin
her. This Is my opinion. Now for my rea
sons : Four years ago Cleveland's plurallt
In this state was 7,000 in a tola ! vote o
553,013. Al Ihls elecllon bul three repub
llcan congressmen were elected , but li
the landslide of Iwo years ago every dls
Irlcl In Ihe stale was carried by us. Ar
the times any better than they were tw
years ago ? Worse , If anything. Then , wh ;
should the people want to experiment will
free silver when Iwo years of free trade dem
onslraled Ihe facl lhat protection Is wha
this country wants and must have In orde
to bo prosperous. Can a majorlly of llu
people In Ihe United States be fooled twice
In four years ? I think not. I figure It ou
thai Ihere will be large republican gains li
every clly In this state and that the rura
vote will be practically as it was two years
ago. The free silver lunacy Is unquestlon
ably losing ground every day arm the mori
the people study thol matlcr the greatei
will McKlnley's majority be.
"There Is a very largo German Lutherar
vote In Indiana , which Is an Important fac
tor In all of our elections. Judging froir
Iho number and character of those whc
usually vote the democratic ticket In this
city , but who have publicly declared theli
opposition to Bryan , the German vote wll
be largely republican this year , whereas 1
Is usually strongly democratic. Both of the
German dallies published here are demo
cratic and both are opposing Bryan.
NAMES SOME OF THE MEN.
"J. F. W. Meyer , a life-long democrat
and perhaps the most Influential member o ;
the Lutheran church In this city , Is dolns
all ho can to defeat the nominee of the
Chicago convention. Mr. Meyer has llvci
hero for more than forty years and has a
wide acquaintance among Germans all over
Iho country. He has prospered In business
and Is , therefore , competent to instruct his
countrymen upon the money qucsllon. J.
I ) . Sarnlghausen , Ihe editor of the Staats-
Xellung , has always been a democrat and
his paper has a largo circulation among
members of that faith. He Is opposing
Bryan with all his might.
"Three of our bank presidents are demo
crats , but all will vote against the "boy
orator. " 3. II. Bass , the president of the
First National , Is perhaps the largest manu
facturer of car wheels In the United Stales ,
having Immense establishments here ami
In Chicago and St. Louis as well. Ho also
owns and operates an Iron mine in Alabama
and gives employment to several hundred
men in each of his plants , S , B. Bond ,
president of the Old National bank , a life
long democrat , has no use for Bryan. The
Bond family In Forl Wayne Is a 'large ono
and they all vote either for McKlnley or
Palmer. Charles McCulloch , president of
the Hamilton bank. Is a son of Lincoln's
secretary of the treasury , Hugh McCulloch ,
and has been an active democrat since 1S7"
but ho has given It out strong that ho can
not swallow the dose prescribed at Chicago.
John Mohr , cashier of the Hamilton bank ,
and at present a democratic member of the
city council llkewl&c refuses to support the
lopullstic combination.
"None of the men I have named are poli
ticians , none have ever sought ofllco and
none havn ever held political positions , save
that of councilman or something equally
unimportant ; but they are all In the front
rank In business , ami they huvo all helped
to mould democratic opinion In this county
for many years. I could go on and enu-
nerato dozens of others who have gone
) ack on Bryan , some of whom are practical
politicians. J. M. Barrett is of the latter
class. Ho has been a state senator and
ms more than once been a candidate for
congress from this district. P. A. Randall
s another. The latlor gentleman Is ono
at the most popular democrats In this sec
tion of the slate , and his following In this
clly and , county Is unquestionably larger
ban thi't of any other politician within
heso boundaries , lie has Just returned
rom Indianapolis , where ho was In attend
ance upon the national democratic conven-
lon. In n brief talk I had with him yes-
erday no said the national democratic
Icke' would poll forty to llfty thousand
votes In this state , and thai 40 per cent
at the democratic voters of this county was
or honest money. Mr Randall concedes
ndlana to McKlnley by 25.000 , and sayfi
t may bo double that If the gold demo-
-rata support him generally. Instead of
'otlng for their own candidates. It Is my
mpression that the great majority of them
n this state will do that very thing.
FREE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
"Now as to the free silver republicans
hereabouts. About three weeks ago n call
vas Issued for the purpose of organizing
i free silver republican club , Just eight-
en men responded to the call ami were
nirolled as members , and It was heralded
ibroad that the club waa organized with R
nembershlp of 150. One of the most active
nomliera of this club removed to this city
rom an adjoining comity seat town two
ar three years ago , and it was not known'
now he had been voting. Last week , how-
iver , a paper published In Warsaw , his
ormor home , learned of his pretending lee
> e a republican , and published the facts
n the case , from .Uilch It uupfara he has
never been anything but a dyed-lii-the-nool
lemocrat. He has slnco admitted that such
Is the case by publishing a card In ono
at our dally papers. And It Is altogether
Ikoly other members of the club are Bali
ng under false colors also , as some ot
hem have never made their republicanism
nanlfest. Not a single ono of this club
s prominent , either In politics or business ,
ind , admitting they are all what they claim
o be ( republicans ) , they cut a very sorry-
gure when compared lo the number of
Binocrati who will uot support Bryan ,
be ratio may not be sixteen to ono , but
tt will Lo r.t least four to ono in ever
precinct in the county. I am pcrsonall
acquainted with ono of Ihese free sllve
republicans , and titlk with him on th
money question occasionally when wo mee
He is a good citizen , but , ns ho was denle
the advantages of even a free school bill
callon in his youth , his efforts to rea
aloud to mo are really painful. Like th
average free sllverlte , his blblo Is "Coin *
Financial School , " and It Is by readln
portions of It that ho has sought to ci
lighten mo on the money problem. It wa
plain to be seen that he was captivated b
Its arguments. Ono day I opened up
little school of my own , and asked him
few questions concerning "Coin" and hi
book. When school closed thai partlcula
day his Idol wns somewhat shattered , fo
ho tossed It onto the floor , where It wa
lying \\hen 1 left. Ho honestly believe
Mr. Harvey had really been conducting
financial school in Chicago , and that Lj
man J. Gage had been ono of his pupils.
"Neither party has completed Its sixty
day poll In this state , and hence wo hav
nolhlng of Ihls kind to guide us In cstl
mating the strength of the parties. Som
prcclncis In different parts of the stat
have been returned unofficially , bowcvci
and these ahow decided republican gain
over the vole of two years ago. On
"straw1Is the following : The Indian
Farmers' Insurance company , with head
quarters at Indianapolis , has about 50,00
policy holders ; 26,000 are republicans , 17,00
democrats , and the remainder populists an
prohibitionists. Of the 17,000 dcmocratl
policy holders , 11,000 will vote the repub
ilcan ticket. "

HASTINGS , Sept. 10. ( Special. ! In an
swer to a letlcr written by Mr. Heller to t
democratic friend of his In Illinois as t
how Ihe political .situation was there th
following answer was received :
"ROCKFORD , 111. , Sept. 5. Mr. J. F
Heller , Hasllngs , Neb. : Dear Sir Replying
to your letter of the 3d would say that tlu
population of Rockford Is variously csti
maled al from 25,000 to 30.000. Our las
census was taken in 1890 , and showed some
thing over 23.000. We have every reason tc
believe that this city has more people In I
today by several thousand than H had Ic
1S90.
1S90.Wo hear practically no free sliver talk
and believe over 80 per cent of the voters o
Rockford and Wlnnebabo county are foi
William McKlnley and sound money , and
Ihose who are In favor of free silver and dc
the most talking aboul It are almost en
tlrely people without property or Interests
that would bo affected should the sllvei
movement be successful. For this reasoi
they have nothing to lose In trying an ex
periment.
"On the other hand wo do not know ofto
exceed a dozen men who own property whc
are lu favor of free coinage of silver. The
effect of our manufacturing Interests here
Is that very few factories feel that It Is
prudent to start up until after iho election
is decided , as there Is an almost unanimous
feeling that should we get free silver It wll
destroy what little confidence there Is today
in Iho business stability ot our country , aiu
the management of the factories will wait
to sco the effect before they venture to man
ufacturing many goods. This general stop
ping of manufacturing Institutions caused b }
extreme uncertainty necessarily throws a
great many workmen out of employment ,
which , us you know , means culling off Ihelr
means of supplying Iheir families with the
necessities of life.
"While on the other hand the feeling Is
almost unanimous among the manufacturers
lhat should Iho election result in favor of
sound money and McKlnley that they will
Immediately resume operations with a hope
that the general business of the country
will brighten , and this means employment
for the working people , and. when they are
given employment , all the wheels of industry
are started In Iho right direction ,
"Wo trust the above will fully answer
your Inquiry. Wo have undertaken to give
you the exact condition of affairs hero with
out any party prejudice , as wo believe that
every honest citizen In the United States
should have but ono object In view , and that
is the adoption of a policy lhat Is for the
jest Interests ot the country al large.

O'NEILL. Neb. , Sept. 10. ( Special Telo
gram. ) A Joint debate In this city tonight
jotween "General" Kelley of Omaha , for
the gold standard , and Tom Golden of O'Neill
for free silver , drew a large audience. The
agreement as to time wns lhat Mr. Kellcy
should have forty minutes to open , Mr.
Golden one hour to answer and Mr. Kellcy
.wcnty minutes to close' . J. P. Merldlth and
lareiico Selah , both officiated as chairmen.
In his opening address Mr , Kelley spoke
chiefly upon the tariff question , but ho wove
n tiie financial question nicely and showed
lhat the two Issues are Inseparable. Ho
charged the democrallo tariff tinkering with
being responsible for the army of iincm-
iloyed and asserted that nothing but repub-
lean tariff legislation would remedy the cx-
sling ovlls ; lhat the money question Is a
secondary consideration. Mr. Golden seemed
surprised by the masterly effort of his oppo-
lent and when ho took the floor began at
once a tirade of abuse against the speaker.
Ic shifted the argument from tariff to money.

The room of the Fifth Ward llepubllco
club at Eighteenth and Lake streels wa
crowded last night lo hear Edgar II. Scot
discuss Ihc financial question. Dav
Chrlsllo presided at Iho meeting and In
troduced Mr. Scott , who spoke for ncarl
an hour , confining his talk to a dlscusslo :
of the issues as presented by the advocate
of the free silver Ihcory. While he dl
not advance anything that was especial !
new , ho presented the facts and figures 1
a plain and convincing manner and place
the propositions clearly before his hearers
In opening , ' < Mr. Scott said It was no
his purpose'to11 Impugn the motives of hon
csty of thOj.advdcates of the Chicago plat
form , but he. said he could not refrain frou
expressing ail opinion of those who seek t
pack the silpr'eml ; courl and overlhrow ai
unpopular decision.
"I urn opposed lo Ihe policy of these win
bellovo that the refusal to pay an hones
debt Is any" Icsi dishonest because It I :
backed by tlte goverrment , " said the speaker
and the sentiment was loudly applauded
"The Issue , " ho 'continued , "Is one of com
mou honesty. TIxo Chicago platform speak1
the language , of repudiation. No argumen
Is necessary In , an issue of this sort. litho
the days following the great rebellion thi
people of this nation went forth and reestablished
established .Iradc and built up new In
dustrles ; they spurned the seductive crx o
repudiation and made the securities of tin
nation' redefehfablu dollar for dollar. It 1 :
strange If , after experiencing a period o !
great prosperity aildwhile" only affosted bj
a short period of democratic rule tin
people should seek lo repudiate honest coiv
tiacts and make the name of this greal
nation a byword In the world.
"The question ! s not an issue bctweer
the gold standard and bimetallism , but 11
Is 'can we have blmetallsm under the Chicago
cage platform. '
"In 17112 Secretary of the Treasury Ham
ilton , after careful Investigation andon -
sultatlou with the greatest and brlgii - '
statesmen of the day , concluded that M
proper ratio between the two metals was
15 to 1 , The experience of a few years
proved lhat the ratio was a mistake and
that It should have been IB',4 to 1 , and the
gold was driven out of the country and
did not come back until the ratio was
changed.
"If a difference In ratio of 2 or 3 cents
drove gold out Of circulation what would
be the effect of a difference of17 cents ?
This Is not a theory It Is an established
fact. It is conclusive proof thit the flat
of Iho govcrnme.nl cannel maintain two
metals at a ratio different from the market
value.
PUHPOSELY nnOVR SILVER OUT.
"In 1S31 , under the administration of
Andrew Jackson , thu great democrat thesa
Tcoplo are so fond of telling us about , a
change was niado In Ihe coinage law. It
was not mudo for the purpose of putting
silver In circulation , but for the purpose
of taking It out of circulation. The market
ratio between the two metals at lhat tlnio ,
was 1D.CS lo 1. A ratio of 16 to 1 "w"5 s
adopted with the avowed intention of drlv-
ng the silver out of circulation and It
operated Just as the projectors of the plan
iad foreseen. The flat ot the government
lid not maintain the two metals In clr-
culallon becanso Ihe rallo was different
from the market value.
"The advocates of free silver fell us that
ho ratio o' 10 to 1 Will create a demand for
Million and increase the value of silver to
1.29 per ounce , putting It on a parity with
; old. Let us sco If experience shows that to
) o a trim argument. "
Hy reference to the reports of the dlrec-
or of the mint , the speaker showed the
operation of Iho Dlanil-Alllson act , roqulr-
ng tha secretary of the Ireasury to purchase
n stipulated amount of silver each month
and coin It at the ratio of 1C to 1. The
pojkcr agbcrtcd thai this acl was passed

The meeting of the Scandinavian-Ameri
can Republican club last nlghl was of a
most successful characler. Patterson hall ,
the place In which It was held , was crowded
to Us fullest capaclly with the members
of the association and the other sound
money men wno dropped In. The audience
was highly enthusiastic and applauded the
speakers with frequency as the1 sound repub
lican doctrines were enunciated , and es
pecially when the fallacies of the free silver
Idea were exnosed.
The principal speaker of the evening was
B. G. Burbank , who devoted the greater
portion of his remarks to a discussion of
the money question. He reviewed the mone
tary history of this country from its In
ception and showed thai Iho republican
party had always stood In favor of a sound
system of finance. Ho ascribed the de
pression to the discontinuance of the repub
lican principle of protection and severely
arraigned Iho democratic parly for attempt
ing to deluge the people with the free silver
proposition , as It had done four years ago
with the free trade policy. Ho stated tiat !
if the republican platform of sound money
and protection had not been Interrupted
the country would Imvo been out of debt
by the end ot Iho cenlury , Iho people as
Individuals would have also been without
dobl , wages would have steadily Increased ,
the per capita circulation would have been
greater and the value of property per capita
would have advanced mateilally. In the
course of his remaiks ho ridiculed the posi
tion now taken by a local contemporary
which Ihreo years ago declared lhal Iho
rallo of 1C lo 1 was "dishonest. "
Mr. Burbauk was followed by C. A. Jacobson -
son , who addressed Iho audience In Swedish
and evoked a considerable amount of ap
plause , Ho also delivered some of his
remarks In English ,
The club transacted a llltlo business , thu
principal portion of which consisted of the
idmlsslon of about eighty new members.
During the meeting the Swedish Military
liand rendered a number of excellent selec
tions of music.

INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. Sept. 10. Then
comes from the populists west of the Mis
sissippi river a call to the populists ol
this state , and ot all of the states , It Is
said , to Join a revolt against the Hryan ami
Sowall ticket. The Ueform Press assocla-
lion , which lias Us headijuarlers at Omaha ,
Neb. , Is at the head of the movement. This
association Is taking the lead In the de
mand that Arthur Sewall bo taken off the
democratic licket and Thomas Watson sub
stituted. The threat Is made that unless
Sewall Is removed the command will go
out for the populists everywhere to with
hold support from the democratic tickets-
national , state , congressional and legisla
tive.
tive.Well
Well Informed populists here believe the
lime for a break between the free silver
democrats and the populists Is near at hand.
They do not belle\e the free silver leaders
have now , or ever have had , any thought of
recognizing the candidacy of Watson. They
say their only regret is lhat they did not
come to their senses sooner before the popu
list party had divided electors with the sli
ver democrats In many states. Hut It Is
not lee late. Ihey declare , to withdraw the
eleelorsaml make a clean cul fighl for Hryan
and Watson. The voice of Iho populists of
Iho south. It Is averred , Is against the fusion
scheme. Many of the leading representatives
of the party In lhat seclion of Iho counlry
are writing to northern men , declaring that
the democrats of the south would never
had been for silver except that they thought
Ihey saw a way by which Ihclr old enemies ,
Iho populists , could be destroyed.
\Vlille no call has yet been Issued , the
Impression prevails that if Sewall Is not
removed from the democrallc ticket shortly
there will bo a conference of popullsls
from all parts of ( he country for the pur
pose of considering Ihe situation. It Is
announced by those who are In the revolt
lhat If a meeting Is held an address will
be Issued to the populists of the country ,
calling upon them to withhold support from
the Chicago ticket and to vote populist
tickets straight.
The Nonconformist of this clly , ono of
Iho leading papers of the populist party of
the country , was , Immediately after flio
Chicago and St. Louis conventions , inclined
to support Hryan and Sewall , but It is now
demanding that populists stand by the party
or see It wiped out of existence.
