of Nebraska would choose "I'oynter nnd
bUthcrskltdsm or llayward and statesman
ship. " He praised the citizens of Omaha
and Douglas county for fliclr grit anil en
terprise in the exposition nnd under the
leadership of la\e ) Mercer predicted a sure
victory this fall. Hln speech was full of
npt metaphor and was an eloquent tribute
to Mr McKlnlcy's wise administration.
The address of Mr. Saylor was In the
nature of a Massif reviewof the progress
of Uho evolution of the sentiment of freedom
In the American people from the very beginning -
ginning lirttll the war with Spain had made
the Hag sland for humanity.
Another flbute to Mr McKlnlcy's admin
istration and "Old Glory" was paid by Mr.
Jackson.
Ailtli-e from Mr. Ilo i'U ntrr.
Senator Thurston was then called upon.
Ills assurance of republican success with
"any kind of a tltkcc In the county" was so
sanguine that Edward Iloscvsater felt called
upon to offer a few words of sage advice
to the republicans of this county. Mr.
Thurston mentioned that for the eight
months of this year according to Vhe com
mercial reports of both the Omaha evening
ncvvsiapcrs It was shown that 826,000,000
of gold dollars had flown Into thlb country as
a balance of trade In favor of the United
States. He elaborated upon the Industrial
results of the protective policy for the bene
fit of American labor and what the war
with Spain had taught the world.
Mr. Uoeewater recalled his visit to Presi
dent ! McKlnlcy three weeks ago. Said ho-
Almost the first question Mr. McKlnley
nsktd mo was "What of Nebraska1 My
answer was1 "Mr. President , we expect to
carry Nebraska and redeem It this year We
not only expect to carry It , but shall. carry
It If wo all work together. " That view I
Btlll hold nnd I believe wo can reclaim
Nebraska for the republican party this fall
Hut we must also bear In mind that wo owe
certain duties to the people. We've gone
before the people nnd made a pledge that
wo will glvo them good government. The
candidates on our state ticket are all men
of unblemished character
1 nm reminded of the saying of Rutherford
H. Hayes ; "He serves his party best who
serves IIH ! country best , arid he nerves his
country best who helps to elevate thd stand
ard of good govcinmcnt. " I consider a man
who would destroy good government for
partisan success as not being a good icpub-
llcan or a good citizen.
My distinguished friend , Senator Thurs
ton , has said any Itlnd of n ticket In this
county Mould do , but ho evidently has for
gotten the mistake of two years ago Then
I counseled a conference of republicans with
n view to getting the very best men on the
ticket , but my counsel was spurned and wo
wont Into the battle believing that anybody
eould bo elected. Tbo result everybody
knows
To have theory best tlckeIn this
county IB a duty wo owe the state. It Is
not a question whether wo can carry Doug-
Ins county by n majority , but whether wo
can savp the whole state and elect n repub
lican United States senator.
Correct the MlntnlcrK.
The convention that met In Washington
hall last weelc made several grievous mis
takes nnd those mistakes must bo corrected ,
and as a citizen and a republican I will do
the duty that I feel devolves upon me , I'm
doing It for the republican party because
I love the party. I want to bo In a posi
tion to Hay "Vote the unscratcbcd ticket
from beginning to end" To do this we
must not have men on that ticket that will
not command the respect of every \oter In
the county.
He Is of the opinion that some of the
legislative candidates nro of questionable
reputation and urged a speedy conference
with a view to revision. The labor ele
ment , he said , which Is 15,000 strong , should
have representation on It rather than tin
lawyers , nlso the German clement , 4,00 (
strong He also regretted the fact that th (
Ilohemlanotcrs "had been overlooked. T <
speak of these shortcomings on the part o
those who had made up the ticket he sale
was a very unpleasant duty but ono ivhlct
ho felt due to the b'est Interests of tjie 'party '
nnd ho would not flinch from the respon
fllblllty on consideration of the fact that th (
political fulure of his state was at risk.
CoiicornliiR State 1'olltlnn.
He also touched upon state politics to re
fer to the penitentiary contract nnd t (
criticise the contractor , Dorgan. Governoi
Holcomb had signed the bill against lili
rcmonstratlon , he said. This penltentlnr :
contract he pronounced "a downright stea
perpetrated on the. taxpayers of the state
palpable to everyone " Ho continued :
The. taxpayers of this state Insist upoi
Knowing what the republican party Is golni
to do to wlpo out the stain which Is upoi
It. Let'o do our duty and stand upon ou
pledges to the people and let the member
of the republican party get together and wi
shall bo able to go before the people o ! thi
Btnto with R.OOO majority. I want to sn ;
right here that I am not a candidate fo
United States senator. I simply wanted ai
unpledged ticket.
The closing speech was by Congreasmai
Mercer. As usual his was a happy effort ful
of confldanco In republican success.

Manila Arrangements for their transporta
tion will be made at once.
The leglmcnts ordoitd to Manila are the
following Fifty-first Iowa , Twentieth Kan
sas , First Tennessee , First Washington and
n detachment of Che Second Oregon.
It was stated at the War department that
no exigency had arisen which made It neces
sary to send the troops now nt San Francisco
to Manila , but the order Issued today was In
accordance with the general plan of tha
department regarding a garrison for the
Philippines. That plan of garrison duty
Included 20,000 men for the Philippines ,
12.DOO for Porto Rico and 60,000 for Cuba.
The troops to bo sent to Manila under
today's order will fill the complement for
that station. The troops would have been
sent before , it was said , except that the
department was awaiting thu return of
transports.
It is not expected that the troops now at
Honolulu wilt accompany those to be em
barked at San Francisco , but that more
troops will be sent to Honolulu in the near
future.

The War department fhls morning
amended the orders refatlve to the dispatch
of reinforcements to the Philippines , so HE
to Increase the number by 1,611 privates and

"Tho Flllpo congress has favorably Im

Its proceedings. It is believed that Its de
liberations will result In a petition to Pres
ident McKlnlcy to establish a protectorate.
"Tho attitude of the American officers
toward the Insurgents Is causing much un
favorable criticism among Europeans who
have returned from Manila. They blame
their almost criminal negligence of the na
tive character and their elementary Ideas of
colonizing.
"The officers seemed determined upon
winning glory at the expense of the in
surgents by hatching imaginary revolts.
Agulnaldo has abeyed every order , whether
accompanied by threats or not. The in-
burgcnt chief at Pasay declined to move
nnd Agulnaldo asked General Otis not to
proceed against him for four days so ns to
give him an opportunity to interview him ,
"A British naval officer who has Just re

Instead of a lot of staff officers who know

the State nnd War departments welcomei
the message sent to the American peopli
through the Associated Press of the falslt ;
of the stories describing the friction be
tweem the Filipinos and the Amerlcai

care to discuss the matter for publication
It was evident that the main source of thel
satisfaction was the Internal cvldenci
contained In the document that Agulnnldi

from the arrogant attitude assumed by hln

arising from the attitude of the Insurgent *
The last advices received at the War department
partment from Manila came from Genera
Otis Friday last , and , while the officer re
ferrcd to the agitation exhibited by the In
surgents , he took can } to state that ho ha
troops eooughi In his opinion , to meet an

ment la rushing preparations for the slat
of the battleships Oregon and Iowa t
Honolulu and orders have been sent to th
New York navy yard to have the mechanic
work overtime on these ships. The pur
pose Is to have them start on their Ion
voyage by the end of the present montl
and , according to the department calcula
tlons , they should arrive at their destlua
tlon by the end of January. There Is llttl
effort now made to conceal the fact thn
the department will have the ships met a
Honolulu by a dispatch boat with order
to turn their ships westward to Manila.
MotUc of tlio MIMC.
Battleships of this character are nc
needed to keep the Filipino Insurgents I
order , and their assembling at Manila , I
conjunction with the dispatch of heavy re
Inforcements of troops for the America
land forces , cannot but beregaided a
significant. In well-informed cjrcles her
it Is said that the real purpose of the presl
dent In making these preparations Is t
Insure the peace commissioners .against an
Interference In their work of dlspoalne c
the future of the Philippines according t
their best judgment. Not having dla
closed his plans respecting the Islands out
side of Luzon , tha seat of the capital of tb
group , the jjrcslJent still reserves for th
American peace commissioners the right t
dispose of the remainder of the islands n
they may deem best.
A long line of curious Incidents , to vvlhc !
ono of the great European powers has bee
a party , has beyond question done much t )
cause A feeling of uneasiness on the part o
the administration , as tending to show
purpose to interfere with our free action li
the Philippines , nnd this has been enl ;
Bllghtly diminished by apparently frank dls
clalmers of an ulterior purpose , because Vh
Incidents continue quietly and In a innnnc
calculated to avoid attracting attention
Such Instance is the gathering of nava
vessels to the Philippine group , the oul ;
explanation of which , coming from natlv
sources , it is true , but stlir bearing mark
of genuineness , Is a purpose of acqulrln ,
either by seizure or by some secret pac
with the Spanish government , the Importan
island of Palawan.
This particular Island forms one side o
the gateway through wnlch must pass all o
the extensive commerce that Hews bUvveoi
Australia , Micronesia and southern China
The passage Is narrow nnd If the Islands o
the Philippine group mo to be retalncl , out
side of Luzon , this Island of Palawan mus
be kept , as forming one side of the gate
way. It Is gathered that it li the purpose o
thq president , therefor" , ( o prevent th
alienation by Spain of any of the Phlllppln
group , and that these prepiratlons , naval a
well ns military , are but steps toward th
execution of his purpoii *
