AH the trains bearing the boys of the
Fifty-first Iowa rolled over the bridge early
( Monday morning nnd wcro Insldo the rcgl-
mrnt's home state the soldiers crowded out
onto the platforms and stuc.k their bends out
of the windows , eager to catch a glimpse ot
home. They danced about In their delight
hugging and slapping each other und break-
Ing out Into snatches of the well-worn camp
i ng8. They waved their hands to everyone
In sight , gave rousing cheers for good old
Iowa and when the deafening noise of hun-
drcds of stenm whistles from the railroad
yards and the factories of Council Bluffs
Btntck their cars they only yelled ,
"Louder I"
"Will there bo a crowd at the depot to
meet us. Billy , and will they have a band ? "
"Oh , no ; thcro won't bo no crowd , 1 guess.
Oh. no ! "
The first and second ectlons reached Al
bright nt about 5 o'clock In the morning and
wcro held there until after daylight. The
Council Bluffs reception committee which
had boarded the first section nt Lincoln re
frained from waking the boys until Al
bright was reached , but there they roused
every man und pinned the badge of official
welcome oil him. After breakfast , which was
served on tbo Improvised dining cars ac
companying each section , the men devoted
themselves carefully to their toilets. Grips
wore ransacked for the last clean collar and
when this was not to bo found a white
handkerchief was folded about the blue army
shirt to represent one. Tousled heads were
carefully combed and dusty uniforms In-
dustrloudly brushed. The boys knew that the
Btato was uniting for them with open arms
nnd they were anxious about their uppear-
nnco on their last inspection.
The men all looked much better physically
than the Ncbraskans did. having a better
color and being for the most part heavier.
This they attributed to the fast that they
had bad time in the rainy season to recover
fron , ' . the effects of the suiilincr heat vand
had lost part of tholr tan. Their healthy
bodies were , the , result of. the convalescent
"n3IeT"u"iSonJ whiclmho enllro"reglment was put
on its arrival at San Francisco. The men
wcro pleased with the way they had been
treated and thcro was not a "kick" to be
heard.
Well Treated All the Way.
"Wo have had a pretty good time ever
slnco wo left Manila , " said one of them.
"Tho Senator la a good boat ; we had every
thing wo needed to live on , nnd when we
got to San Francisco wo had the best of
overythlng. On the way from there wo have
been fed by a company which took the con
tract for the entire regiment , and we have
lived just as though wo had been In a
flret-elaEs hotel. Nothing swell , of course ,
but everything was good , and there was a
plenty. It was served in a baggage car at
tached to each section. "
The llr t section carried headquarters ,
band and companies H , A , F nnd D. Besides
Colonel Lopcr and hU entire staff Adjutant
General Byers and a party ot the officers'
wives wcro , with this section. Tbo second
section carried Companies B , K , I and G.
The third section was delayed and did not
reach Council Bluffs In time to take part In
the festivities. It was laid out at Echo , this
elde of Ogdeli , by the wreck of a train bear
ing the Forty-second Infantry westward.
The wreck which delayed the flret section
compelled It to go back to Ogdcn and make
n detour by the way of McCammon , which
cost It five hours' time. General Byers made
an effort to linvo It switched over to the
Union Pacific BO that it would not ha'Ve to
go by way of Denver , but the Union Pacific
and Hock Island officials could not como to
the necessary agreement , owing , it was said ,
to the unwillingness ot tbo Rock Island to
glvo up Its contract.
Eight members of tbo regiment were left
in the general hospital at the Presidio , In
care of the lied Cross society. They are :
Frank A. Bukor , Company A ; William Mc
Lean , E ; Rllcy D. Stevens , G ; Elmer Nar-
vrr , D ; Hugh M. Goes , M ; Harry M. Woods ,
A ; Edward Woods , L ; Ira Balrd , E. None
of theeo arc in n serious condition , except
Narvcr , who is suffering from paralysis re
sulting from n bullet wound , and Is con
sidered to have but slight chance for re
covery.
It was a source of great regret to the
people of Council Bluffs that their company ,
L , was with the third section and did not
arrive in tlmo to get the benefit of the
elaborate welcome prepared for them , But
this did not prevent the entire city from
turning out to honor thoao who had como
and men who were comparative strangers
in a strange city wcro received eo kindly
that they scarcely mfcsed the loved ones still 1
waiting for them In distant portions of the
slate ,
Tbcro was a pandemonium at the depot ,
Thousands of people had como In from the 1
Hurroundtng towns and from cities on the
o'4her edge of the Btato which bad eont com
panies to fight in the Philippines , and they
rushed to and fro In the crowd , searching
eagerly among the blue figures for their '
own , but not knowing whether they had
como or not. It was the same with the sol
diers , but from their vantage ground on the
trains they were nblo to pick out familiar
faces In the crowds more easily and one
after another they leaped from the train to
clasp their relatives in their arms ,
While families were finding their long lost
sons , smothering them with caresses and
exhibiting them proudly to admiring friends ,
the parade was forming on Pearl street , and
about 10 o'clock moved up town , The street
was lined with cheering multitudes. Everyone -
ono was decorated with a button and ribbons
bens and the vociferous cheers of the thou
sands of throats made the happy soldiers
emllo without ceasing ,
TliuiiniimUyitneii the I'aruilu ,
\Yhen the time arrived for tbo formation

Hock Island depot to Broadway was a maw

PORTLAND , Me. , Nov. C. Amos L. Allen ,
republican candidate for congrpss In the
First 'Mnlno district , was elected today by
a majority ot more than 4,600 votes over
Luther V. 'McICInncy ' , the democratic can
didate , with the town of Dayton , In York
county , to hear from. Mr. Allen's majority
Is 4,057. Payton will t doubtless reduce It ,
but not enough 'to ' bring It below 4,000. The
First .Maine district was Speaker Reed's dis
trict lost year. At that tlmo Mr. Reed's plu
rality was fiG5 < ! over McKlnney , but there
waa a prohibition candidate , who polled 687
votes , thus reducing his majority.
There were only two candidates this year ,
but it Is evident from spoiled ballots tbat
n considerable number of prohibition voters
made tholr mark on the prohibition square
In the official ballot , although they had no
candidate. Last year tbo total in the dis
trict was 23,760. This year It amounted to
loss than 20,000.
Congressman-elect Allen Is known In na
tional llfo as Speaker Reed's secretary for
many years. Otherwise ho was not a prom
inent figure , even in his own state and neigh
borhood.

CHICAGO , Nov. 6. Dr. Vorsburg Reknow
and Edmund Wlrth , the former a director of
the Imperial central bureau of commercial
treaties of Germany , and the latter a large
manufacturer and president of the Cham
ber of Commerce In Seraw , Hamburg , have
just concluded an inspection of the Chicago
packing houses ,
They expressed their pleasure and aston
ishment at the cleanliness of the methods.
They admitted that hog inspection in this
country is a great deal better than the Ger
man method , because , they say , If trichinae
Is found in Germany the meat , after being
cooked for a certain period , Is put on tha
market ; whereas , hero , If the smallest de
fect Is found the pork is used for by-
products.
Dr. Roknow Is one of the whips of the
Imperial party which favors Importation of
foreign products into Germany and partlcu-
larly stands in opposition to the agrarian
I policy for the exclusion of American meats.

ernor Bradley , sent by express this after
noon 10,000 rounds of cartridges to the Lou-
isvlllo legion , In anticipation of a call out
on election day. Largo assignments were
also shipped to Covlngton , Newport and
Lexington.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. , Nov. G. Governor
Bradley , in his capacity as commnnder-ln-
chlef of the State guards , Is the central
figure In the political situation tonight. The
governor bollevos the situation so serious
that he will not go to his home , Lancaster ,
100 miles away , to cast his vote.
A rumor is current t6nlght thnt the local
military organization had been ordered to
report for duty tomorrow , but the rumor
could not bo confirmed , and thcro was no
unusual activity among members of the
regiment , but the rumor Is given slgnlfl
cance from the fact that Governor Bradley
positively refused to confirm or deny it or to
say what his plans are beyond nn expres
sion contained In a letter which he made
public tonight. The governor was expected
to address a meeting at the Auditorium to
night , but changed his mind , giving out the
following in explanation :
Hon. A. K. Wilson : Jly Dear Sir In view
of the intense public excitement now pre
vailing in this city nml the fact thnt nu
merous nllWnvits of good citizens have been
filed with me , showing that there Is Brave
danger of riot anil bloodshed nnd that citi
zens will be prevented by force und fraud
from exercising their right of suffrage in
this city tomorrow and ! n view of the fur
ther fact that I have , been called upon tenet
net aa chief pence olllcer of the common
wealth , 1 have concluded that It would bo
Improper for me to deliver nn address this
evening.
I will thank you to nHsuro those who ma >
kindly honor me by their presence that I
will remain In the city and see that even
voter , Irrespective of political opinion , s
protected In his right to vote nnd have hm
vote counted nnd the public peace , protected
at all hazards. . . .
I do not Intend to surround the polls -w th
bayonets or Intimidate voters. I do In
tend that they shall not bo Intimidated and
will net promptly should necessity arise
Yours , W. O. BUADLi'vi.
The disturbed state of public feeling in
.
this city was aggravated this evening by the
action of the Board of Election Commis
sioners , which is controlled by democrats
in j removing eighty-seven republican officers
nnd ( substituting for them names submitted
by men , who , it is claimed by the regular
republican organization , do not rcpresen
the party. Whllo the commissioners acted
within their technical rights the removal
may bo the cause ot trouble tomorrow. The
expectation that the governor will call ou
the militia during the day finds expression
among men of both parties. The provocdtlot
may occur through attempts ot the depose (
election officers to hpld their places q
through conflicts with the police In-sorno o
the down-town wards.
If the military Is called out , it will re
suit in the closing of the polls by the loca
election officers on the ground that th
presence of soldiers prevented a free ex
presslon of opinion , or it may result In th
throwing out of the vote of Jefferson county
In either event the counting or throwin
out of the Louisville vote very likely woul
determine the rcsul' of the election.
It 1s announced tonight that the Lcgio
has been ordered to report at the armory at j I
C o'clock tomorrow morning to bo ready In j
case of emergency. Simultaneously came the
announcement that the police force of 300 ,
j men under J. B. Castleman has bojn sworn j I
' In. The city authorities evidently Intend to j ,
etanU upon the ground that in case of trouble 1
hey nro prepared to take any necessary
measures to preserve order and that under
heso circumstances there can be no occasion
or the colling out of state troops. Governor ,
Bradley , it la reasonably certain , will not
acquiesce In this view and a conflict of au
thority Is possible.
Ex-Senator Blackburn , chairman of the
democratic campaign committee , has sent
out a general telegram notifying the chair
men ot the various county committees of
: ho step taken by Governor Bradley. The
.elegram IB :
"DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS , Nov.

BALTIMORE , Nov. C , The day before the

J. Shyrock , who Is at the head of the repub

concede 'tbo eastern shore to the democrats

lomorrow. Three of thom l51tn tholr elcc-
.lou Is sure , but no oriajSxcept Mayor
Samuel M. Jones and his most zealous sup
porters make any such claiming that of the
election of Jones , The Jones vote will reduce -
duce the vote ot all others , Including that ot
the prohibitionists , . tbo unlontrcform nnd the
social labor tickets. And the result depends
very materially on where , most of the Jones
vote will como from. It U certain that cither
George K. Nash , republican , or John H , Mc
Lean will be elected , if Jones polls more
from the democrats than , from the repub
licans , the prediction of Chairman Dick that
Judge Nash will have 60j00 ( } plurality may
be realized. But it Chalrmau Seward Is cor
rect in assuming that Jones will draw much
more heavily from the * republicans than
from the democrats then McLean will be
elected. The democratic managers have made
much capital out of the faci that Jones has
.been a republican up. to tills 'campaign and
that ho was himself connected with a trust
and that he would not plcdgCrhlmselt to vote
for Bryan in 1900.
Ohio Is normally a republican ' state , and
Jones might draw hcavllx/from 'the repub
licans and not affect thejfcsult were it not
for tbo factional feeling' y'i'ch ' may cost
Judge Nash some republican votes. It Is
conceded that all votes that can bo con
trolled by Governor BushnelL ex-Chairman
Ktrtz and others aqd Hanna republicans
will be cast for McLean , but thls factional
work may not extend-to otn'ers on'- the re
publican state ticket. ' . /
Mcantimo tbo gold democrats , aswell as
the Bryan democrats , nro supporting Mc
Lean and there is no factional fuss among
the democrats. The campaign has been bitter -
tor and full of charges and counter charges
It is of course expected that this vicious
tendency will continue at the polls tomorrow

ivltli Gltlzcnn Union nnd Lnlinr.
NEW YORK. Nov. G. Tbo political cam
palgn ended today woo one of the hardcs
fought struggles ever known In this city
In an oft year. The republicans , to
strengthen themselves in their fight agalns
Tammany Hall , entered Into a fusion ar
raugement on the county ticket with th
citizens union and Independent labor party
and gave the most valuable place on the
ticket to William J. O'Brien , a representa
tive of the labor party. To oppose O'Brien
Tammany Hall nominated William F. Grell ,
at present n tax commlsloncr.
Interest centers In the fight for assembly-
man In the Nineteenth district. In that
district Tammany Hall set out early to de
feat Assemblyman Robert ilazet as a pro
test against the appointment of the investi
gation committee known by his name.
Uazet's defeat would make It Impossible for
ilm to present his committee's report to
the next assembly. Tammany endorsed the
candidacy of Perez M. Stewart , a democratic
member of the citizens' union. Charges of
colonization in this district have been made
iiy both sides , but the scrutiny has been so
close that it does not ecem probable that any
man illegally registered will be able to vote
tomorrow.
The democratic campaign has been man
aged by Richard Croker , who has contended
that the democrats would get
every as
semblyman in this city , but today It was
practically conceded that the republicans
will re-elect Edward H. Fallows in the
Twenty-first district , and tbat ono or two
other districts might be doubtful.

Outlook In A'nrthMH'ntorii loivn.
SIOUX CITY , Nov. G. ( Special , ) The
campaign In northwestern Iowa closed to
night and all Is In readiness for the fray to.
morrow. On every elde are bright prospects
for republican victories. So far as can bo
seen now there Is only ono dangerous spot
In the Eleventh district and that IB In tbo
Ida-Monona district. Owing to some feeling
thcro aa to representation In Moncna county ,
there is eomo danger of a populist getting
into the legislature , In some of tbo counties
a pretty warm fight Is being waged over ono
ofllco or another and this probably will bring
out a larger vote than any interest In the
state ticket. E. H. Hubbard closed the cam
paign in Woodbury county In a t-peech t

displayed.

Mnlnird Hnllrmul Man Circulate *
The Fncta In
thn Cimc.
Last evening ns the worklngmen were
quitting their day's work nt the South
Omaha packing houses and the Union Paclfls
shops and the ameltcr In Omaha they were
handed n circular , addressed to "working-
ncn" and embellished with a half-tono cut
of a man with nu artificial leg lying along
side him on the ground , while the "stump"
vas shown up ns a striking feature.
The circular purports to be a statement ot
oula Olson , ft former employe ot the Bur-
Ington rnllroad who lost his leg by necl-
lent nn < l who brought suit against the com
pany for damages. Ho was given a verdict ,
ml on appeal to the supreme court the
verdict was set aside and a new trial or-
lered. Such Is the story told , by the author
of the circular.
In the hope of arraying the worklngmon
against the republican candidate for the
supreme bench the writer of the circular
asserts that the decision was rendered by
Judges Harrison , Norval and Post , repub-
Icans , and therefore he appeals to the work-
ngmen to cast their votes for Holcomb
and thus glvo the populists n majority
on the supreme bench for the protection of
.ho working classes.
The facts are : The case never went to
the supreme court. It was tried before
Judge Ramsay , a populist , and a farmer
jury , which returned n verdict against the
plaintiff. The case was never appealed and
It Is now too late to have It appealed.
The circular has been gotten out simply
to deceive some worklngmcn , and some few
may bo thus deceived , ns they have been
by other fakes during the campaign.
The author of the alleged Olson circular
begs votes for Holcomb on the plea that he
( Olson ) wants a fair trial , despite the fact
that his case has passed beyond the juris
diction of the courts.
While there Is no one so heartless as to
refuse sympathy to a maimed worklngman ,
the Olson circular Is such a gauzy cam
paign scheme that the thinking voter will
hardly bo misled It if he takes time to re
flect upon the inconsistency of the appeal
that Is , a'man asking for a fair trial before
the supreme court when the date limit for
appeal has already elapsed. Another point
to which the attention of voters Is called
Is the Improbability of an afflicted man llko
Olson claims to be , and who cays he makes
his living by selling cigars and candy In
Plattsmoutb , going to the expense of a
largo half-tone eut , and the printing of
thousands of circulars.
"Please vote for 'Mr. Holcomb , and help
mo get a fair trial , ' ' the circular concludes
neglecting to state.'that the case has nevoi
been passed upon fly the supreme court and
that there Is no record to show what ruling
that body mlgbthavo made.
WORLD-HERALD LIE NAILED
IlcKintrntlon Boolcn Not Held Uncle or
Sidetracked Statement liy
the City Clerk.
OMAHA , Nov. 6. To the Editor of The
Bee : In this morning's Issue of the World-
Herald an article appears under the fol
lowing headlines : "Held Them Baclc. Books
Sidetracked and Kept out of Sight All Day
Sunday for Unknown Reasons. " In this
J article the public was led to believe that
I the registration books In four districts of
j the Sixth ward , and in all the ten districts
of the Third ward were held out by what 13
termed "the machine. " I wish to say
that there Is not a word ot truth In the
statement that the Third ward books were
j held out all day Sunday. They were all In
] the city clerk's office before 12 o'clock , noon ,
Sunday , and were locked in the vault , where
they remained until this morning , when
they were taken out for the purpose of put
ting them up In districts , to bo delivered to
the judges of election , ns required by law.
And I wish further to say that the books
1 have not been handled for any other pur-
j pose since , and then only by the employes
o * the city clerk's ofllco for the purposa
stated. Several scattering districts of other
wards were returned this morning. The
failure of some districts to return their
books on Sunday Is not nn unusual occur
rence. Three of the four districts of the
Sixth ward were delivered before 12 o'clock ,
noon , Sunday , the remaining ono b.lng
brought In this morning.

As was 'to bavo been expected , the flnal
registration returns , showing great repub-

the democratic betting blufllcrs. The
boasted money which was said to bo ready
to bo Btked on Holcomb'B election seemed
to have vanished suddenly on Monday ,
A number of men with good wads of money
to back Reese scoured the democratlo
haunts at night to find takers , but without
success nnd little of it was put up , Some
of the democratic sports who had been BO
rull of bluster a week ago wanted odds In
favor of their candidate and oven when these
were offered they backed down. As a mat
ter of fact , comparatively little money Is up
on today's election Jn Nebraska , because
the Reese supporters have not been able to

LINCOLN , Nov. 6 , ( Special Telegram. )
'Up to a late hour tonight tbo reports re
ceived Indicate that the state will go re
publican tomorrow by a good , safe major-
ty , " said Secretary Harrison ot the rcpub-
Ican state central committee tonight.
"Conservative estimates made by men
who have been In all parts of the state
ilaco the majority at .1,000 , although thcro
are many who think It will reach as high as
15,000. , Tbcro is a general air of confidence
among our county and precinct committeemen -
men and the prevailing enthusiasm will help
to get out the full republican vote.
'Tho fusion forces have put up a hard
fight and have had an unlimited amount
of money to spend , but there Is no question
that up to the present moment they nro badly
scared. The fact that they have , right
on the eve of election , sprung n number of
ridiculous and despicable roorbacks , Indi
cates that their campaign Is In n desperate
condition. "
It Is the opinion at the republican head
quarters In this city that the appeal by the
tustonlsts to the Blum clomcnt and the other
effort that IB being made to befog the foreign-
born voters on a number ot false issues ,
will utterly fall. The tactics which have
been employed by the popocratlc crowd dur
ing the past few days show how low the
pretended Bryan dignity can bo dragged.
ICdmUtcn Up to III * Old Trlclts.
While the returns received by the repub
lican state central commltteo will be given
nt once to the public , these received by th
populist commltteo will bo for the populists
only. Chairman Edmlstcn says they will bs
of n confidential nature and cannot be given
to the public. This Is taken as an indi
cation that Edmlsten will resort to his old
tactics and that If ho sees the republicans
are getting a larger vote ho will try tha
methods used in the recount fraud of 1897
to carry the day for Holcomb. The adoption
of auch plans would necessitate sending out
telegraphic Instructions and this could not
be done with the rooms of tho. commltteo
oppn to visitors.
While -fuslonisto appear .Jo bo confi
dent of tbo success of their ticket It It no
ticeable that during the last week they have
reduced their claims of from 18,000 to 25,000
majority down to as low ns 10,000 In some
Instances.
In Lancaster county there Is every Indica
tion of an Increased republican vote. The
fuslonlsts conccdo the county to the repub
licans on the state ticket and nil but two
or three of the candidates for county offices.
The most conservative estimate places
Reese's majority In Lancaster county at
1,700 , but others who understand the situa
tion say that the republican candidate will
get at least 2,000 more votes in Lancaster
county than his opponent. There has always
been n safe republican majority In Lincoln
of 1,000 or more. It la thought that Rccao
will get 1,500 majority in Lincoln nnd 500
in the country precincts.
The state house was practically deserted
again today , nearly all of the state officials
and employes having gone homo to vote.
The offices will probably bo kept open tomor
row , but not for the transaction ot business.
While the registration in Lincoln waa
somewhat lower than last year It is now
thought that the vote will bo up to the
average. Several thousand certificates have
been prepared at the county clerk's office
and it is expected that fully 1,500 of them
will bo Issued to voters who could not or
did not register.
Some Ilctn Mnile.
Quito a number of small bets wore placed
on the result of the election today. All Hol
comb money was covered as fast as It wfl
put up nnd ono bet of $300 even money was
made.
Extensive preparations nro Doing mnao
hero for receiving the election returns to
morrow night and It is thought that by
midnight It will bo possible to determine
to a certainty the outcome of the fight that
has been waged so fiercely for the past
few months. Both the republican nnd the
populist state central committees will re
ceive returns direct from the various coun
ties and the county committees have ar
ranged for an early count of the Lancaster
vote.
