iimcnded HO us to charge the defendant with
obtaining certain state warrants under false
jiietcnses
Upon the application nf the defendant the
( asp waa first continued. It was continued
u HPcnml time , when the nmcmlr-d complaint
was n It'll , so that It was some time in April
befor" we were icaclj fo * the preliminary
examination In the meantime I had been

of limitations , both of which 1 felt assured
AvtAild cause the Judge t'i relcarp tlic de

lu thlF countv. I Lomtiiunlcated my views
mi these points to the ofllco of the attorney

ulllro to meet nnd discuss the case
I went up to Lincoln the early part ( if
Apt II cf tills > car for the o\pres purpose
f meeting the attorney general and talking
ovof the case I met Mr Smith , the ilepulv
Httutney general and together wp went over
both thp law nnd the facts In this cnsp as >
fai n * they were known to us After con-
Hlderable dlRcusslon I tuld Mr Smith that I
did not like to at gup befoio any Judge a
proposition of law that I did not believeto
bo true myself and If the motion to dismiss
Kbrlght should he Hied , as I felt asMired It
would be , upon either of the grounds men
tioned above , I would not feel like making
an argument against the motion , bellevliu , ' ,
as I did then , that out position was wrong
on thosp two points.
Mr. Smith then staled that ho did not
tilnnm me for not wanting to nigue the mat-
It r If I felt that we- were wrong , but Inas
much as he felt that thp venue was laid in
the proper cuuntj. he nald that IIP or some
one from the attorney general h office would
lomo to Nebraska nty and be picpaietl with
Jiuthoililes ! > resist any motion which might
be filed by the defendant as ting foi the dls-
talssal of the case upon either of the tech

Latrr in Apill , when I was preparing to
Jcave Nebrnbka City to Join the Second irg-
Mmcnt , I tuined o\or to Judge Hayward , who
hud vohintiuily ngired to look after my

to what should be done In each of the crim
inal cases then pending and I told him that
lie need pay no attention whate\er to the
piellmlnaiv examination of the Kbrlght case ,
telling him at the time that Deputy Attor
ney General Smith had agreed to be here
and look aftur the case when it came up In
May. Piom that time on I only know cf
this case from what thp rccordn In the

told me by Judge Joyce , the county Judge ,
nnd W. C Sloan , who proipctitpd the casp

Including , among othns tin > two points
input lone d above , thnt Is the statute of lim

was laid It fuithcr shows that this case
Mas dismissed before any e\Idencp was In

never appealed in the capo In anv capacity
whatever , that he iie\er had anything to do
in any manner or at an > time with this ,

which was very painful nnd In my pre&-
once stated to Mr MuU llmt Mr Jeascn had
str.tcd to him before he left th.it ho need
give no thought nor nttcmlon to the Kbrlght

til" attorney general or his deputy would be
present at the tilal and attend to any ques
tions of law that might tie raised on the
trial of the case -Mr Mutz mated thnt that
was the urrangmeiit. but thnt the attorney

It wan the duty of tbe countv attorney of

be would not come , and that he should have
to look to the county nttornej of Otoe

Btatcd to him that I would try the cnse for

1 factoiy to him The case was called for

to the above the following statement-
NEBRASKA PITY. Oct 23 1 buve read
the foregoing statement of the Ebrlght case

Jcsaen. county attorney , and can say that
the facts stated therein , so far as they tefer
to the records and proceedings in thin court ,
arc true and correct. M C. JOYCE ,

This seems to eflcctually dispose of tbe
stoiy now being peddled over thu state by
Smyth and Smith , although a lack of other
questions may Induce them lo repeat thu
falsehoods until election day.

The campaign statement being made by
the attorney general that Ilaywaid dievv $ WO
f 10111 the state lu a farmei tiial for Ebrlght
Is nlso a dellbciate distortion of the facts.
Two or three years ago la ! > ward nnd four
othei attornevs weie connected with a case
affecting the legal statin of the- Institute foi
the Hllnd. The1 case was tried twlee lu dis
trict court and onee In the supreme court
end tbe question was finally settled to the
advantage of tbu state- and the Institution ,
which were lepreweuted by Hayward and the
other nttornej s mentioned. The $ " 00 wab
paid to Hayward by the superintendent oC
the Institution and was by him divided
among the Inwyeis who had to successfully
handled the ease. Judge Hajward ictalned
Just $30 of Ihe fee for his work. The "re
form" campaigners know these to be the
e\act facts , but they do not hesitate to tell
n different story.
Another ynru is being exploited by the
same tsowd of reformers to the effect that
Judge Hayward was a deserter from the
army , or that he did not bavn an honor
able discharge. The old boldlen > living in
Otoe county heard of this stoiy and at a
recent meeting passed n i evolution , a cop >
of which has been forwarded to The Bee

J. Suijth , the fusion candidate for attorney

It to speak against a United States senator ,
i John M. Thurston talking last night In the

the fusion end of the political slttw'bn vas
taken up In a criticism of the MsClcjry
currency bill , which seems 'o liave been
Injected as a c.unpalnn Ifsup within the
last three weeks
It was decidedly different in the opera
houao where Thurston was 'he attraction.
Every seat was taken , man > late comers
being compelled to stand during his two
hours' talk upon the Issues of the campaign
ns presented from a national point of view.
Tlie closest attention was given the speaker ,
who paid his respects to the catamltj
howlers of two years ago
H has taken more money , Senator Thurs
ton bald , at present prices almost two to one
to move the great various crops of this
western country to the sea coast than It did
j In the year prior to 1S9G and yet we did not
hear , as we did then , of a scarcity of money ,
of a money famine , of falling banks , of high
Interest rates and of foreclosures of chattels
and of homes. While It has taken more
money two to one to move Nebraska's crops
this > ear than It did In the jear 1S96 , money
was never easier , interest rates were never
lower , opportunities to get money to Invest
in legitimate business were never better
than they aio now H Is not a question of
the amount of money on which rests Ameri
can prosperity. It U a question as to
whether 01 not there Is business enough In
the t'nltcd States to keep the money of the
American people In circulation among tbem-
sehes.
Oo\crnor Ilolcomb came In for n scoring

going Into the conduct of the late war , when

HASTINGS. Neb. , Oct. 28. ( Special. )
There never has been a time since the popu
list party was organized that less interest
ha : ' been shown by the fuslonls-ts in politics
lu Adams county than at the present time.
Their meetings me poorly attended and
farmers are not standing on the street
corners shouting free itilver , reform , etc.
While on the other hand the lepubllcans
are drawing large crowds to their meetings ,
which seem to stir up considerable enthusi
asm. The political ( situation in Adams
county could not ha\e a brighter outlook
for the republicans than It has at the present
time. . The 0'slonlsts , , as uill an the repub
licans , already concede the election ot C. L.
Alo\ander , the republican candidate for
senator. It is Bald almost dally by leading
democrats and populists that Alexander 13

over the present senator , SyKea. 1 , D. Evans ,
the re-publican nominee for representative ,
seems to be gaining votes every day In the
fusion ranks , and It Is thought that he will
defeat M. C. Fernow by a comfortable ma
jority Both Peter Uerllng and C. E. Hicks
are putting up a strong campaign for float
repressntatlve , but nil indications point to
the success of the republican candidate , Mr.

and although it has not been announced , It
U hinted that the republicans will pull their
entire ticket through In 1896 Adams county

Taking everything Into careful consideration ,
the republicans feel grently elated ovrr the
