ONLY THE PIE-PATRIOTS OUT Popocrats for Eevenue Only Are Now Hurraing the Campaign. MEN OF ABILITY NOT IN EVIDENCE I'ccnllar Kentnrc of the Movement for ' Ileform" that IH IIcliiK Conducted liy the State Ilounc filing In It * Onu Intercut. LINCOLN , Oct. 1. ( Special. ) It Is no- tlccd as a remarkable circumstance that the only populists and other brands of popocrats who are on tbo stump this fall nro these who are already holding oOlco and nsklng for re-election , and their appointees who expect to hang on for the next two } ears. None outside of this class are taking ( en actlvo part In the campaign , and the cnly Issue raised by the fusion speakers Ms the issue of votes for Individuals. The speeches are composed entirely of self- laudation , with an occasional epithet for a republican or a calamity statement regardIng - Ing the state added for good measure. This being the case no wonder Is expressed among observant people because of the lack of In tercut among the voters who have been heretofore populists or democrats , and the Inaction of the good speakers who have nlwa > s taken the stump for the vindication of some principle , Is easily explained. Such men as Judge Broady , W. J. Bcrge , George A. Abbott nnd W. H. Thompson seem to liavo no part In this mutual admiration society , and the campaign Is left to the tender mercies of Allen , Porter , Meservo , Cornell , Wolfe nnd Poynter , aided by their deputies and plo-countcr dependents. All of the do-nothing deputies at the state house who can make any sort ot a calamity speech , or who can abuse the republicans and brag on the "reform officials , " In a good round tone have been armed with passes and sent out to Instruct the voters , whllo these left be hind are set to work folding campaign docu ments for malls In the bklnnlsli the detail business of Vhe state receives Tittle atten tion. It the public affairs nre being at tended to In proper shape , then it Is evident that during the last twenty months the re formers have had more than double the number of cmplojcs on the pay roll than was necessary for the transaction of the business of the stato. U Is said that all the employes at the state house and nt the state Institutions have been assessed to raise funds for the reform campaign , and that these who are unable to make speeches or are too busy to fold circulars are forced to contribute a double assessment for the use of the men who are "seeking neither place nor upplaudo. " Cornell an a 1'nsx ( irahher , The best of evidence has been found to prove that ) John F Cornell was alwa > s a pass grabbvt , nnd that white ho was still posing as a republican he did not hesitate to boast of the favors received from the railroads. In the sunimex of 1S91 ho took a trip at the expense of the corporations , tomethlng similar to his last > ear's Junket ) to Hot Springs , and on bis return wrote n letter to the Falls City Journal describ ing the pleaiant features of the trip. In this letter , which was published In the Issue of September 11. 1891 , the following appears over Cornell's signature : U Is seldom that a farmer has the time or money to take him beyond the boundaries of hla own farm , that , when he doea get nwny from his own neighborhood , he sees BO many new and wonderful things that he feels like telling his friends and neighbors of them. Through the kindness of my wife ( who took charge of the farm ) , and a soul less corporation , who furnished the transpor tation , In company with a lawyer , n natural- 1st and a uchcol teacher , I hnd the pleasure of a two weeks' trip as above stated. Wo wore well supplied with munitions of war nnd during our trip we put to Hlght thou sands of ducks , snipe and n few jack ribbl-n Mr. Cornell li still traveling ut the expense - penso of the "soulless corporations" and It reports are true he goes well loaded with "munitions of war. " In fact , It has Just been learned that within the last thirty days the auditor took his passes and made a trip to Milwaukee , the largest magazine In the world for his peculiar kind of "mu nitions of war , " and since this trip It Is natural to suppose that the Milwaukee brand of ammunition is doing good service in the present campaign. Correcting the Senator. Ono of the statements made by Senator Allen In his speeches over the state Is that the republicans appointed a monetary commission to confer with other countries regarding an International agreement and that while this commission failed to accomplish anything , the expense to this government was $100- 000. This statement has been made In his speeches In the east end of the state and no doubt Is used In the west. In ordei to nnd out Just what this monetary com mission did cost an Inquiry was sent to the auditor of the treasury a few- days ago. The answer received today shows that Allen Is using the same brand of deceit In his speeches that has so far characterized the campaign work of all the oftlceholdlng pa triots In this state. The letter from the auditor reads as follows : WASHINGTON. D. C , Sept. 28. Dear Sir Replying to your Inquiry Of the 25th lust. , relative to the expenses of the Inter national Monetary commission appointed un der "An act to provide for the presentation of the United States by commissioners at any International monetary ctnferenco hereafter to bo called and to enable the president to otherwise promote an International agree ment. " (29 ( Stat. , p. 624-B ) and approved March 3 , 1897 , I hav-p the honor to ml v Ire you that the amount of $24,400 was advanred Juno 17. 1817 , to Sellgmun Brothers , United States Ilscol agents In London , to pay ex penses of said commission , of which amount J8.3J1.2G remained In their hands at last report , August 31 , 1S9S. The onlv additional payment from I his appropriation was $31334 on March 10 , JR'V ? to Hon. Edward O. Wclcott on settlement made by the auditor for the state nnd other departments. According to the books of the Treasury department the total expenses Incurred and paid under said appropriation amounted to $10,1(52 ( OS August 81. 1898 , thus leaving $83,037 92 as a net unexpended balance to the credit of the appropriation of $100,000 authorized by said act. Respectfullv yours , W. E ANDREWS , Auditor. Thus It seems that a llttlo Item of $83.- C37 92 does not Inconvenience Senator Al len In the least when he Is talking In round numbers for the benefit of popocratlo hear ers. Lincoln Local Notes.

As for me , however , I shall not engage n It. I shall continue to direct my efforts n behalf of all the volunteers from this state. I will not make any recommenda tions regarding which regiment should be mustered out until I have possessed myself with some desired Information from the officers and enlisted men of the two regi ments as to their present conlltlon , the degree of sickness prevailing and the wishes of the soldiers regarding their continuance n the service. I will be guided by such information In making recommendations concerning the muster out of ono of these regiments. I am In receipt dally of many letters and petitions from relatives and friends of men in both regiments. I re gard all these appeals as coming from per sons equally solicitous about those In the service and look upon the friends of the soldiers In each of these regiments as stand ing upon an equality In this respect and for that reason am anxious to know more of the views of the men themselves.
