No"ti'ore forcible , eloquent and convinc
ing speech has been made during the cur
rent campaign In Nebraska than that of
Major William Warner of Kansas City at
Crolghton hall last evening. Thcro was an
n'udlcnce of fair proportions , and the Im
pressive earnestness , the burning eloquence ,
blistering sarcasm and opt witticisms of
the speaker elicited frcfjucnt and earnest
expressions ot appreciation , Upon the stngo
Major Warner , In bearing and physique , in
nttlro and In the tones of his voice , appears
the old doldlcr that he Is nnd his utter
ances arc marked with the deep commandIng -
Ing resonance that lends a musical Imprca-
elvoncsH to the military command. Ho spoke
for two hours nnd a quarter and so won
1 the "admiration of his hearers that they
were'loth to allow him to desist nnd pressed
around him nt the close to form his ac
quaintance and extend assurances of their
hearty appreciation of his address. His
talk was aimed chiefly at Bryan , the fallacy
of his prophecies and the pernlclousncss of
his course in the present campaign.
The meeting was opened by a medley ot
national airs by a portion of the Seventh
Ward band and K. J. Cornish introduced the
Hpcakor. After a few witticisms that ripened
the interest of the audience the major at
once wmlod Into Bryan and hla follow-

"I am not one of those , " said no , "who
bellovo that all religion Is to be found In
any ono church , nor all honesty In any one
political party. I know all of the honesty Is
not to he found In the democratic party.
Some people are In politics through an ear
nest dcslro to build up and make happy the
American home , believing that upon the
happlncfd nnd prosperity of the American
homo depend the success nnd prosperity
of the American jiatlon.
Some AVniit the Money.
"Some people are In politics through a dc-
slro to benefit their country , while others
are there for 'tho money' there la In It. ' I
road recently In the World-Herald an In
terview with the late democratic candidate
for pr eldent. In which , when asked whether
or not ho was again Intending to be a can
didate for president , he replied that he did
not know , but ho Intended to annoy the
republican party. The gnat can annoy the
elephant , but he will still remain nothing
but a gnat. There nro some people whose
chief aim appears always to bo annoying
somebody. I am a Methodist. I bellevo In
the blblo nnd rely upon the words of Him
who spoke as never man spoke : 'By their
fruit's shall yo know them. ' By that stand
ard I want to have you Judge of the demo-
' ciatlc nnd republican parties. I will lay
down the proposition and challenge Its con-
tradlctlon , that slnco 18GI the democratic
, party has passed no legislation In con-
1 Kress that has given a day's labor or a
day's wage to any American citizen. Dur
ing thai time It has been In control of tba
' government eight years. From 1884 to
1888 It failed to pass the legislation that
it wanted to pass. It was not to blame that
during these years it did tbo country no
injury , for the senate was then republican
nnd prevented It. In 1892 It again got around
among the people nnd by holding out that It
had not bad a chance In Its former term
to pass the measures that it promised for
_ , tbelr. ( benefit secured anothertrial. .
gained control of the executive chair and
'the1 house and the senate was already demo-
1 'cratlc. BO tbat the democratic party Is en
titled to all the credit for 'nil the blessings
brought to the nation during that admin
istration. Grovcr Cleveland was the Moses
who led It out of the wllderncsa and a great
majority of his followers hcve been sorry
ever slnco that the young Moses was ever
brought out of tbo bullrushes.
"During the administration of Harrison
. from 1888 to 1892 , the McKlnley tariff bll
waa enacted and you will all remember tha
during -that period the factories were run
ning nnd labor was employed at living
wagee. By the specious plea against tin
robber tariff and promises to reform thi
democratic reformers secured the people" ;
trusts nnd elected a democratic prcsldon
nnd houso. The first thing , they did was tc
repeal 'tho McKinlcy tariff law and enact in
its stead the mongrel Wilson tariff bill
The fires at once went out In the furnaces
the smoke of the factories no longer lloatc
along7 the sklcss the music ot Industry wa
hushed and hundreds of thousands of unem
ployed American workmen walked the street
of the cities. They organized armies an
marched to Washington to demand redros
'
and when they got there all that they go
' > was a demand to keep off the grass. Th
democrats found the country prosperous ,
gold in the treasury and labor everywhere
'
, . employed. In two years after they were returned -
, . turned to power the country was prostrate ,
; ' _ the treasury was depicted and labor In de
spair and want for employment. By their
' frulta shall yo know them.

' "America has become a land of nervous
.emotionalists , largely on Ing to our sins
against tbo dietetic health laws of nature.
Only outdoor exercise In a cold cllmato
would enable vigorous Individuals of our
'species ' to digest the viands forced upon
alimentary organs enfeebled by sedentary
occupations , " writes Dr. Follx Oswald.
*
llraln workers must have different food
than day laborers , because brain work uses
up parts of the brain and nerve centres ,
Vhllo physical labor uses up other parts of
.the body , . A food for brain workers has
been prepared by scientific food makers and
'cabled Gropo-Nuts. It is n pure , natural
food made from selected parts of field grains
known to contain the natural phosphate of
polish and other elements used by the sj-s-
, tem la rebuilding anil repairing the brain
nnd nt-rvo centers. This food Is skillfully
cooked at the factory and Is ready to bo

politic , who could tell un Jiut whnt ailed us
simply by looking nt our tongues. They de
clared that ho had discovered that the dose
previously administered was a mistake. Ho
told us that unless we wiped out the crime
of 1S73 nnd opened our mlnla to the frco
coinage of the dollars ot our daddies , all
sortf of ovlln would overwhelm us. Dut we
didn't bellevo him. It reminds me of the |
story of an old tavern keeper down in Mis
souri. He waa a great believer In the theory
that history repeats Itself once every thou
sand ycnrs. Ono night two young men cnmc
riding up to his tavern nnd put up for the
night. Ho explained to them his theory nnd
endeavored to Impress It upon them with
great earnestness. , When they retired ho
adjured them to think It over during the
night. In the morning the young men arose
nnd after breakfast called for their horses
and started on. Just as they were riding
nway without settling their bill , he stopped
them , 'Say,1 enld he , 'haven't you fellown
forgotten something ? ' The young men
thought to perpetrate n joke upon him , and
replied that they were believers that his
tory repeats Itself , that In Just a thousand
years they would como back again just as
they had come , that they would find him
there and that If It was just the same to
him they would lot the bill go over until
their return. But the old man was too sharp
for them , for he promptly replied that that
would not do , for , como to think about It ,
after a good look at them , he was convinced
that they were the same two fellows who
had como the same trick upon him n thou
sand years before. And so we told the democrats -
ocrats that wo recognize them oe the same
fellows who fooled us In 1S92. Wo elected
that Christian statesman , William McKln
ley , to bo president. He nt once called a
session of congress , the mongrel AVllson bill
was repealed and the republican Dlnglcy
tariff bill enacted. The factories were nt
once reopened , the Coxey armlca disappeared
nnd honest labor Is finding abundant cm
ployment all over this country. "
I'lciity of Work.
The speaker said that he had passed
through Omaha during the 1890 campaign.
Ho had found many vacant stores here. They
were filled with men who had nothing bet
ter to do than to hang around political meet-
Ings. "Is there a man in Omaha today , who
Is willing to do an honest day's work nnd
who can't find employment ? " A number of
voices In the audience answered In the neg
ative. In 1890 , the speaker declared , there
were two kinds of Institutions only In Kan
sas City that were prosperous , the pawn-
ihop and the soup house.
Statistics were given to show that dur-
ng the past three years the number of 1a-
) orers In certain specified Institutions had
ncreascd 40 per cent nnd the amount paid
hem In wages 54 per cent , that the prod-
. of our factories and foundries are go
ng everywhere , that our steel has been used
n bridging the Nile , the screech ot our
ocomotlvcs Is heard all over the world and
hat $800,000,000 has been added to the value
f our domestic animals In this country.
Bryan had declared that under the repub-
Ican system of finance there would bo no
ncrcase In the circulating medium and yet ,
n twenty-four months up to July , 1S98 , the
ilrculatlng medium had Increased nearly
400,000,000 , or from $21 to over $25 per
inplta. Bryan had proclaimed that the
lollcy ot the republican party was to make
iionoy dear , and yet money was never an
heap In the United States as It ia today.
The volume of business Is 111 per cent
greater than It was in 189G. ,
Ho referred to the lamentation * that wcro
heard over the encouragement given by the
McKtnloy bill to the tin plate Industry. Ho
was oven a little scared over It himself. He
did not think that this country had the tin
.o make it"a success. But ho found that
n ono year before the passage of that bill
he American people bought from the Welsh
In manufacturers $35,000,000 worth ot tin
plate. The American got the tin all rlghc.
and the Englishman got the -money. Now
.inder the Impetus given tbo tin plate In
dustry by the McKlnley tariff It Is giving
employment to 28,000 American laborers and
sustenance to 100,000 American people.
Alleecd Xcw IHNUCK.
This year the democrats announce thai
they have laid away free trade and free ell
ver In the political garret. Now they comi
around with tearful faces that would make
tha weeping Jeremiah jealous and tell u
that new issues have arisen that overshadow
all others and are threatening this nation
Now It IB trusts and militarism and Ira
periallsm and expansion.
As to trusts the speaker recalled the fac
that it was the republican party that passe
the first measure against them , the Sherman |
anti-trust law. During the time that Bryan
was in congress , it was Attorney General
Olney , a democrat appointed by Cleveland ,
who gjivo it as his opinion that the law was
so crude as to be ineffective and was un
constitutional. Was Bryan asleep at that
time ? "Ot course I am not hero to set up
the opinion of Attorney General Olney
against that of the great constitutional law
yer of Nebraska. " Recounting the test case
brought In the United Statcw supreme court ,
nnd how Chief Justice Fuller , a democrat
appointed by Cleveland , had declared the
law unconstitutional , the speaker again re
marked sarcastically : "But who would set
up the opinion of Chief Justice Fuller
against that of the great military genius
ot Nebraska ? " Congress had met imme
diately thereafter. What was William Jen
nings Bryan , the watchdog of the people ,
doing then , and why did he not take steps
for the relief of the people from the evils
of tbo trusts ? With scathing sarcasm the
speaker ridiculed , from n lawyer's stand
point , the remedies recently suggested by
Bryan , nnd declared that the only remedy
was an amendment to the constitution , of
which ho dnolared himself In fnvnr.
Treatment of IninrrlnllHiu ,
Imperialism was handled at considerable
ength. Ho showed tbat the proportion of
soldiery to the citizenship of tbo country
was so insignificant as to endanger no one
and called attention to the fact that the sol
diers are the sons of the citizens. He re
called bow this same cry had been heard
during the war , and afterward when Grccley
was opposing Grant and It was proclaimed
that Grant was to' ' become dictator. Reading
from the democratic platform of 18C4 ,
wherein the war was declared a failure , the
speaker sold that ho did not do It to arouao
prejudice. '
"I thank God that I have lived to see
the day when a president ot the United
States was grand enough to appoint a Fltz-
hugh Leo and a Joe Wheeler to fight beside
the northern heroes , I thank God that I
have lived to BCO tbo sons of the men who
wore the gray and the sons of the men who
wore the bin a marching sldo by side , touchIng -
Ing elbows and keeping steps to the music
ot the union , through the jungles of Luzon ,
across the sea 8,000 miles from homo , with
a patriotism that is heroic and a heroism
that is patriotic , fighting to defend Old
Glory where the matchless Dewcy bad
planted It. "
As to expansion , the speaker said that eo
far ns the Philippines are concerned , the
country has already expanded. Ho was an
nntl-contractlontst. Ho showed how the
same cry had been raised by some party
against every territorial acquisition and how
Jefferson had been denounced as an ex
pansionist. Ho recalled bow Bryan ha-1
rushed to Washington to induce hla frlefiua
to favor the ratification of the treaty of
I'arla , which fixed upon this country the
responsibility for preserving order in the
Philippines , saying :
"And I honor him for It. Ho hadn't left
off the blue uniform long enough to- lose
the spirit ot patriotism with which It In
spired him. "
Tlio , veto on the ratification ot the treaty
waa to close that if Senator Alien had voted

Ho quoted Allen's speech in the senate In
which the latter denounced the Filipinos as
"bloodthirsty savages" nnd declared that the
soldiers must remain there "until the statue
of the Filipinos should be fixed by congress ,
which has the solo power to fix It. "
Major Warner vigorously denounced these

WHARTON ANDWINTER SPEAK
nil Iiitrroittcil Audience of
IVurkInlineii In < lie Second " \VnriI
WcilncNilny Mulit.
John C. Whnrton and Charles E. Winter
addressed a meeting of Second ward repub-
Icnns Wednesday night. The audience was
composed largely of worklngmen nnd they
paid the closest attention to the remarks
of the speakers. Mr. Wharton called atten-
lon to the difference. In conditions existing
.oday nnd these of three -years ago. "Then , "
30 said , "when the great political battle was
being waged , It waa an easy matter to get
out big crowds to hear the speakers. The
men had nothing else to do and the only
thing they had to spend was time. Now It Is
different. It Is difficult to find men to fill
the Jobs nnd It Is the same way with the
women. The factories nnd the stores have
been opened and have Increased their help
BO that it is not an easy matter to find n
woman to work these days. " He recited
the dark daysjwhlch attended the democratic
administration , from 1892 to 18D6 , and said :
"When McKinlcy came Into power and took
hold of the reins of government it took
a little time to recuperate. The nation had
been brought to the very verge of bankruptcy
during the democratic administration nnd
was in that condition when McKinlcy was
Inducted Into office. Improvement has been
steady , , however , nnd now there are 4,000,000
more laboring men employed than in 1S9C
Bryan in his . -campaign now is.force < l to ad
mit there .is prosperity , but attributes It to
the discovery of gold \n \ Alaska and the fam
ine In India. You men know better than
that. It Is 'Because ' the administration o
William McKlnley has restored confidence ;
men of means have unlocked their vaults
and are investing in various enterprises
laboring men nro all employed at goot
wages.
"Bryan , as well a every ono else , knowr
that free silver Is a ( lead IESUO and ho Is
leaving that In the background and ha
taken up another question anti-prosperity
antl-admlnlstratlon , anti-expansion. Two o
his 'antl' propositions anti-tariff and antl
good money have played out and this las
Issue will go the same road as the others
William McKlnley as the standard bearer o
the republican party , wants to maintain th
honor of the American flag the emblem of
liberty , patriotism nnd loyallty and the people
ple of thla grand country of ours are go
ing to stand by him. The voters will do
more next Tuesday toward settling this
Filipino resurrection than can bo accom
plished by our soldiers , for Agulnaldo will
have to give up In despair If his friends , the
democrats , are defeated and the American
people Indicate by their votes the desire to
stand by McKlnley. Agulnaldo represents
only ono tribe out ot sixty and occupies only
one Island out of about 600. The other tribes
do not want him as their leader. Would you
prefer such a man to direct the affairs of
the Islands rather than William McKinlcy ? "
The hall resounded with an emphatic "no"
uttered spontaneously by every man In the
room.
George A. Prltchard , republican candidate
for'justlcc of the peace , briefly nddressed the
meeting nnd was followed by Charles B.
Winter , who spoke on some of the prom-
Inent questions at Issue In the present cam
paign from local , state and national stand
points. .
FUSION IN THE FIRST WARD

Extol Knell Oilier' * VlrtueH In
the Volerw.
About fifty First ward fuslonlsts mot In
Forest hall Wednesday night and listened to
speeches by nominees on the county and
judicial tickets. Tbo speakers devoted less
time to Issues vital to the campaign than
they did to each other's merits , which they
found Innumerable.
The Judicial candidates present were L. I.
Abbott , J. J , Bowes of Ilurt county and Carl
Wright. Mr. Bowes spoke In defense of him
self regarding certain charges made against
him by Judge Scott , which ho declared en
tirely false. Ho asked his l\earcrs \ to payne
no attention to euch attacks upon him ,
Lyslo Abbott told the crowd that republic
ans were born -with a tendency to "get next
to" people with money , stock In corporations
and rubber-tired carriages. Given such ten
dencies and added to them such power as a
judge of tbo district court has , he declared
that It was not hard to see how their de
cisions would go , A democrat , on the con
trary , could not luu 'brought to favor ono
clats above another and ho had tbo utmost
faith In the fusion nominees ,
James W ; , Cnrr , candidate for county judge ,
made n fen * remarks , In which he pointed tc
the success Julius Caesar made of his life as
a reason why the fusion School board ticket
should bo elected. Ills hearers had consid
erable difficulty In making out the drift , ot
hla talk , but about half of them took It on
faith and applauded.
,0 , F , Elsasior was Introduced and men
tioned hla candidacy for county treasurer as
his first dip Into politics and promised that
it would be his last if he were defeated.
W. O. Gilbert spoke on the importance o
having college graduates on the School boarc
and then Congressman Sutherland was callec
upon. As the hour was late uud half of the
original audience had left be confined him
self to sounding a campaign note for Dryau
and prophesying tbo election of Holcoiab.

"This talk of Mr. Bryan nnd his political
'ollowers ' about the national republican com
mittee having sent $60,000 $ to Nebraska to
help In carrying the state I know of my per-
ional knowledge to be nil rot , nnd nothing
but rot. "
Such was the emphatic declaration of Ma-
or William Warner of Knnsaa City nt the
Illlnrd hotel yesterday. Major Warner had
ust arrived from 1'lntUmouth , where he
poke Tuesday night. '
"During the short time that I have been
n the state , " said Major Warner , "I hnve
been talking with parties on both sides ot
he political fence who arc In position to
keep abreast of current information , nnd
making all reasonable allowances for over
estimates each way and for the blindness
of party zeal , It seems quite certain to mo
that Judge Kccsc Is going to be elected.
Republicans everywhere seem to bo Inspired
by that conviction. The pronounced and In
creasing prosperity of the men ot nil callings
and classes seems to be the keyetonc of the
lirevalllng confidence In the success of the
republican ticket. Tlio masses of the people
ilo not seem to desire a change from the
existing conditions and It docs not seem
probable , or even possible , that they will
lend to the prospect for such a change the
encouragement that would accrue from * re
publican defeat In Nebraska this year.
"I haven't nny question about the result
In Ohio , where the election of Nash for gov
ernor seems to be assured. I am not well
Informed as to the prevailing political con
ditions In Maryland , but republican victory
In Pennsylvania Is a foregone conclusion.
"Wo had a splendid meeting at Lincoln
and another very fair ono at Plattsmouth.
I find that the sentiment of the country Is
very strong In favor of carrying the Philip
pine war to n successful conclusion , regard
less of opinions as to what it may be best
to do with the Filipinos afterward. Nearly
everyone wants to see the war against the
insurrectionists vigorously prosecuted.
"It seems to mo that In this state much
depends upon tbo republicans of Douglas
county In this campaign , If they make a
strong showing , as they appear determined
to do , It seems as If the success of the re
publican ticket Is beyond question. "
Major Warner was elected commander-In-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic In
1S88 and was succeeded by General Alger ,
He has also served four years In1 congress
from the Kansas City district , beginning In
1SS4. "I went in with Grovcr Cleveland , "
ho said , "and came out with him. " Major
Warner Is now United States district attor
ney for the western district of Missouri ,
which position ho has occupied with credit
to himself and satisfaction to his constitu
ents during the last year and a half , in ap
pearance ho la a typical old soldier and
wears the uniform of the old guard. ' His
rueced ohysloKnomy and his resonant voice
are unerring vouchers for his ability to stir
an audience nnd among his former acquaint
ances from Kansas City ho is rated as a
master in political argument.
FOSIONISTS SUFFER COLD
Ninth Wnnl Meeting n Poorlr At-
tcudcd Front Mr. ' Heller MaUo
a.
The Ninth ward fusion rally meeting at
2914 Farnam street Wednesday night was a
frost in the literal as well as figurative
sense of the word. By actual -count eigh
teen men were present when tbo meeting
was called to order at 8:30 : o'clock. The
chairman admitted the frost when ho said :
"Thero are only a few of us hero tonight ,
eo lot us sit close together and wo will como
moro nearly keeping warm. "
There was no heat In the barren hall and
at the suggestion of the leaders , hats and
ovorcoato were not removed.
After the meeting had started six recruits
came In , swelling the total attendance to
twenty-four.
Frank Heller , th first speaker , talked for
an hour in a rambling manner and touched
like o kaleidoscope upon every question from
the fall of the Roman empire to the current
local Issues In Douglas county. He soared
away to Franco nnd roasted the French gov
ernment to a terra cotta tint for the way it
treated Dreyfus , he commended the English
for the way the "British colonies are gov
erned ; he found fault with Andrew Carnegie
nnd Mr. Oxnard ; ho told funny stories ; ho
rubbed his hnnda together trying to keep
varen and did a little of everything else ex
cept arouse enthusiasm among hla hearers.
"Paris in France , " ho exclaimed in dra
matic style , "and the French people have no
volco In the government. " But the speaker
did not even attempt to explain what Franco
hao to do with the coming election In Ne
braska or elsewhere.
Ho set his audience to guessing when ho
declared : "No tropical country , is fit to
govern Itself and the Philippines are no ex
ception. Everybody may not agree with mo
on thla proposition , but I bellevo I am rlgh
nnd I repeat that thcao people are in need o
benevolent despotism. "
Other popccratlo speakers have been loudly
asserting mat tno i'iiipino& are
'or ' selt-govcrnmcnt , therefore tbo surprise
at Mr. Heller'n statement. Ho made an
effort to extricate himself from.tho position ,
but ho didn't muko bis explanation clear ,
and at the close of his talk it was difficult to
tell Just what ho thinks of the so-called im
perialism.
Ho started to talk on trusts , but strayed
off Into a classic essay on the Latin races
entirely foreign to hla text.- -conclusion
ho said ho was a democrat , but that bo had
made a platform of his own.
"I will tell you what It is , " ho shouted :
"Trust in God , work hard and try to keoy
the government from cheating you out of
you ; money. "
Mr , Hellor was shivering with cold as ho
resumed his scat , for ho had while speak
ing removed his hat and overcoat.
Justice of the Peace Crosby , candldajo for
re-election 01. the fusion ticket , followed
Mr. Heller. Ho retained his winter clothing
and Bluffed his hands deep down into thv
pockets of his big overcoat. Ho eald he
formerly was n republican , but that he
climbed over to the other sldo of the fence.
"In local elections let us vote for the man
rather than the party , " ho. exclaimed , and
thla was the burden of his argument ,
James W , Uari1 , ono of the fusion candi
dates for county Judge , arrived Just befora
the rlose ot the meeting , He made a brief
speech in which he solicited votes and pre
dieted success for the fusion ticket.
