AH the trains bearing the boys of the
Fifty-first Iowa rolled over the bridge early
[ Monday morning nnd were Insldo the regi
ment's home state the soldiers crowded oul
onto the platforms and stunk their heads oul
of the windows , eager to catch a glimpse oi
home. They danced about In their dellghl
hugging nnd slapping each other and break
ing out Into snatches of the well-worn camp
i ngfl. They waved their hands to everyone
In sight , gnvo rousing cheers for good old
Iowa and when the deafening noise of hun
dreds of steam whistles from the rallroae !
yards and the factories ot Council Uluffs
struck their cars they only yelled
"Louder ! "
"Will there bo a crowd nt the depot to
meet us , Billy , and will tney imvo a oanuv
"Oh , no ; thcro won't bo no crowd , I guess.
Oh , no ! "
The first and second ectlons reached Al
bright nt about 5 o'clock in the morning nnd
wcro held there until after daylight. The
v/ Council Bluffs reception committee which
vf had boarded the first section at Lincoln retrained -
' trained from waking the boys until Al
bright was reached , but there they roused
every man and pinned the badge of official
welcome ou him. After breakfast , which was
sorvcd on the 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
dustriously brushed. The boys knew that the
state was waiting for them with open arms
nnd they wcro anxious about their uppear-
nnco on their last Inspection.
The men nil looked much better physically
than the Nebraakana did. having a better
color and being for tbo most part heavier.
This they attribute. ! to the fast that they
had bad time In the rainy season to recover
from the effects of the suiiJmer heat , and
had lost part or their tnn. Their healthy
bodlca wore , ljic , result ot the convalescent
lTFT'irp'on' wlilch > lHoT"entIr"o'feglment was put
on Us arrival at San Francisco. The men
were pleased with the way they had been
treated nnd thcro was not a "kick" to bo
heard.
XVcll Trcnieil All the AVny.
"Wo hnvo had a pretty good time ever
filnco wo left Manila , " said one of them.
"Tho Senator Is a good boat ; we had every
thing wo needed to live on , and when wo
got to San Francisco wo had the best of
everything. 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 ns though wo had been In a
flrst-clnss 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 first section carried headquarters ,
band and companies II , A , V and I ) . Besides
Colonel Leper nnd hU entire staff Adjutant
General Byera and a party of the officers'
wives were , with this section. The second
EPCtlon carried Companies B , K , I nnd 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
side of Ogdeii , by the wreck of a train bearIng -
Ing the Forty-second Infantry westward.
The wreck which delayed the first section
compelled it to go back to Ogdcn and make
n detour by the way of McCammon , which
J cost It five hours' time. General Bycre made
" an effort to have It switched over to the
Union Pacific BO that It would not have- to
go by way of Denver , but tbo Union Pacific
and Hock Island officials could not coma to
the necessary agreement , ov/lng , It was said ,
to the unwillingness of the Rock Island to
glvo up Ita contract.
Eight members of tbo regiment were left
In the general hospital at the Presidio , In
care of the Red Cross society. They ore :
Frank A. nuker , Company A ; William Mc
Lean , E ; Rlley D. Stevens , G ; Elmer Nar-
vcr , D ; Hugh M. Goss , M ; Harry M. Woods ,
A ; Edward Woods , L ; Ira Holrd , E. None
of thcso are In n serious condition , except
Narvor , who Is suffering from paralysis re
sulting from n bullet wound , and Is con
sidered to hnvo but slight chance for re
covery.
It was a source of great regret to the
people of Council Uluffs that their company ,
Ii , was with the third section and did not
nrrlvo In tlnio to get tha benefit of the
elaborate welcome prepared for them. Hut
this did not prevent the cntlro city from
turning out to honor these who had como
and men who were comparative strangers
in a strongs city were received so kindly
that they scarcely mlesed the loved ones still
waiting for them in distant portions of the
Blute.
Thcro was a pandemonium at the depot.
Thousands of people had como In from the
Hurroundlug towns and from cities on the
oher edge of the state which had sent com
panies to light in tbo Philippines , and they
ruslicd to and fro in the crowd , searching
eagerly among the blue figures for their
own , hut not knowing whether they had
como or not. It was the eamo with the sol
diers , but from their vantage ground on the
trains they were nblp to pick out familiar
\ faces In the crowds more easily and one
, * , - after another they leaped from the train to
t clasp tholr relatives In their arms.
' While families were finding their long lost
fonu , smothering them with caresses and
- exhibiting them proudly to admiring frlenda ,
the parade was forming on Pearl street , and
about 10 o'clock moved up town. The street
waa lined with cheering multitudes , Everyone
one- was decorated with a button and ribbons
bens and the vociferous cheers of the thou
sands of throats made the happy noldlera

Dr. Newton denies emphatically the state
ment published In a morning paper to the
effect that Mr. Hobart was suffering from
cancer of the stomach. Ho said that the
statement ghcn out by him several days
ago , with the consent of the family , en
tirely covered the malady of the vlco presi
dent and added that there had been no
new development of the disease. His offi
cial morning bulletin contained nothing be
yond the above statements.
Many letters nnd telegrams of sympathy
have been received nnd Mr. and Mrs. Mc-

Dr. Newton said today that Mr. Hobnrt

the coming election , but that ho ( Dr. Now-

couraged such discussions ns likely to un

Mr. Hobart takes no solid food and com
paratively little nourishment. His vitality ,
upon which he Is living , Is remarkable , and
his cheerfulness Is a strong factor In sus
taining the members of the family In their
affliction. He fully realizes that his end la
near. Unless Mr. Ilobnrt'a condition changes
materially Dr. Newton will not Issue an
other bulletin until afternoon , to bo fol

of .1,050.
PORTLAND , Me. , Nov. C. Amos L. Allen ,
republican candidate for congress in the
First 'Maine district , was elected today by
a majority of more than 4,000 votes over
Luther F. 'McKlnney ' , the democratic can
didate , with the town of Dayton , In York
county , to hoar from. Mr. Allen's majority
Is 4,657. Dayton will doubtless reduce It ,
(
but not enough to bring It below 4,600. The
First Maine district was Speaker Reed's dis
trict last year. ( At that time Mr. Reed's plu
rality was Efi56 over McKlnney , but there
wan 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 that
a 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 23,700. This year H amounted to
less than 20,000.
Congressman-elect Allen la 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.

They admitted that hog inspection in this

LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Nov. C. Governor
Bradley , In his capacity as commnnder-ln-
chlcf of the State guards , Is the central
figure In the political sltuatlgu tonight. The
governor believes the situation so serious
that he will not go to his home , Lancaster ,
100 rnllre away , to cast his vote.
A rumor Is current tonight that the local
military organization had been ordered to
report for duty tomorrow , but the rumor
could not bo confirmed , nnd thcro was no
unusual activity among members of the
regiment , but the rumor Is given signifi
cance from the fact that Governor Bradley
positively refused to confirm or deny It or to
say what his plans are beyond an expres
sion contained In a letter which he made
public toulght. The governor was expected
to nddress a meeting nt the Auditorium to
night , but changed his mind , giving out the
following In explanation :
Hon. A. E. Wilson : Jly Dear Sir In view
of the intense public excitement now pre
vailing In this city and the fact that nu
merous affidavits of peed citizens have been
tiled with me , showing tlmt there Is grave
ii.inirnr nf r\nt \ .iml lilnoilshpd and thnt citi
zens will be prevented by force and fraud
from exercising their right of suffrage in
this city tomorrow and In view of the fur
ther fact that I havp been tailed upon to
act as chief pence olllccr of the common
wealth , I have concluded that It would be
Improper for mo to deliver an address this
ovenliiK. ,
I will thnnk you to n.ssiiro those who may
kindly honor inn by their presence that I
will remain In the city and see that every
voter. Irrespective of political opinion. Is
protected In his right to vote nnd have his
vote counted and the public peace protected
at all hazards.
I do not Intend to surround the polls with
bayonets or Intimidate voters. I do In
tend that they shall not be Intimidated and
will act promptly should necessity arise.
Yours , W. O. BHADLhi.
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 removing eighty-seven republican officers
and.substituting for them names submitted
by men , who , it is claimed by the regular
republican organization , do not represent
tha party. While the commissioners acted
within their technical rights the removals
may bo the cause of trouble tomorrow. The
expectation that the governor will call out
the militia during the day finds expression
among men of both parties. The provocation
may occur through attempts of the deposed
election officers to hold their places or
through conflicts with the police In-sorao bf ,
the down-town wards.
If the military Is called out , it will re
sult In the closing of the polls by the local
election omcers on me grounu mai iuu
presence of soldiers prevented a free ex
pression of opinion , or it may result In the
throwing out ot the vote of Jefferson county.
In either event the counting or throwing
out of the Louisville vote very likely would
determine the rcsul * of the election.
It Is announced tonight that the Legion
has been ordered to report at the armory at j
6 o'clock tomorrow morning to ba ready In j |
cnso of emergency. Simultaneously came the
, announcement that the police force of 300 , ,
I men under J. B. Castlcman has bosn sworn j I
In. The city authorities evidently intend to , ,
ttand upon the ground that in case of trouble '
they are prepared to take any necessary
measures to preserve order and that under
these circumstances thcro can be no occasion
for the calling out of state troops. Governor
Bradley , U la reasonably certain , will not
acqulcsco In this view and a conflict of au
thority Is possible.
Ex-Senator Blackburn , chairman of the
democratic campaign committee , has sent
out n general telegram notifylnc the chair
men of the various county committees of
the step taken by Governor Bradley. The
telegram Is :
"DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS , Nov.
7. Governor Bradley Is In Louisville and has
published a letter saying that ho will re
main there today Sa chief peace officer of.
the state and will take charge of the elec
tion and eeo that the same Is properly held.
He has the military ready , sunnllcd with
rifles , ammunition and Galling guns. It
looks as though by his Intermeddling that
ho may make trouble today in Louisville.

CINCINNATI , Nov. C. Thcrolre six can
didates for governor to be'.voted for In Ohio
tomorrow. Three of them clSjin their elec
tion Is sure , but no onajt xcept Mayor
Samuel M , Jones and his modi zealous sup
porters make any such clalmas that of the
election of Jones. The J ncs vote will re
duce the vote of all others , 'including that of
the prohibitionists , . the unlontrcform and tbo
social labor tickets. And the result depends
very materially on where , most of the Jonea
vote will como from. It Is certain that cither
Gcorgo K. Nash , republican , or John R. Mc
Lean will bo elected. If 'Jones polls more
from the democrats than from the repub
licans , the prediction of Chairman Dick that
Judge Nash will have 6ff,000 plurality maybe
bo realized. But If Clialrmau 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 tha fact tliat Jones has
been a republican up. to thin'campaign and
that ho was himself connected with a trust
and that he would not pledgehimself to vote
for Bryan in 1900.
Ohio is normally a republican state , and
Jones might draw hcavllx'from the repub
licans and not affect tnojfcsuU , were it not
'
for the factional feeling1 vfi'lch may cost
Judge Nash some republican votes. It is
conceded that all votes that can ba con
trolled by Governor BushnelU ex-Chairman
Klrtz and others and Hanna republicans
will be cast for McLean , but-thls factional
work may not extend.to others'on tha re
publican state ticket.
Meantime the gold democrats , as well as
tha Bryan democrats , are supporting Mc
Lean and there is no- factional fuss among
the democrats. The campaign has been bit
ter and full ot charges and counter charges.
It is of course expected that this vicious
tendency will continue-at the polls tomorrow
and that there will be many arrests , espe
cially In the cljlce. . A t

FIGHT -
On County Ticket RontibltcmiK Unite
tvlth Citizen * Union nnd Lnlior.
NEW YORK , Nov. G. The political cam
paign ended today woo one of the hardest
fought struggles ever known In this city
In an oft year. The republicans , to
strengthen themselves In their fight against
Tammany Hall , entered Into a fusion ar
rangement on the county ticket with the
citizens union and independent labor party
and gave the mcst valuable place on the
ticket to William J. O'Brien , a repreoenta-
tlve of the labor party. To oppose O'Brien
Tammany Hall nominated William F. Grell ,
at present a tax commlsloncr.
Interest centers In the fight for assemblyman -
man In the Nineteenth district. In that
district Tammany Hall set out early to de-
feat Assemblyman Robert ilazet as a protest -
test against the appointment of tbo Investi
gation commltteo known by his name.
Mazet's defeat would make It impossible for
him to present his committee's report to
the next aesembly. Tammany endorsed the
candidacy of Perez M. Stewart , a democratic
member of the citizens' union. Charges of
colonization In this district have been made I
by both sides , but the scrutiny has been so
close that It does not eeem 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 waa
practically conceded tlmt the republicans
will re-elect Edward H. Fallowa In the
Twenty-first district , and that ono or two
other districts might be doubtful.

Outlook In JVortlMVeMtfrn lown.
SIOUX CITY , Nov. 0. ( Special. ) The
campaign In northwestern Iowa closed to
night nnd 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 Is In tbo
Ida-Monona district. Owing to some feeling
there aa to representation In Moncaa county ,
there is some danger of a populist getting
Into the legislature. In some of tbo counties
a pretty warm fight la being waged over ono
office or another and this probably will bring
out a larger vote than any Interest In the
state ticket. E. II , Hubbard closed the cam
paign in Woodbury county in a tpeech at
the court house tonight. The mcet'ng ' was

Last evening as the worklngmen were

side him on the ground , while the "stump"
was shown up ns a striking feature.
The circular purports to be a statement ot
Louis Olson , a former employe of the Ilur-
llngton railroad who lost his leg by acci
dent and who brought suit against the com
pany for damages. Ho was given a verdict ,
but on appeal to the supreme court the
verdict was set aside and n new trial or
dered. 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 Test , repub
licans , and therefore he appeals to the workIngmen -
Ingmen to cast their votes for Holcomb
and thus glvo the populists a majority
on the supreme bench for the protection ot
the 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 a verdict against the
plaintiff. The case was never appealed and
it Is now too late to have It appealed.
Thn circular has been rotten out slrnnlv
to deceive some vtorkingmcn , and some few
may bo thus deceived , as they have been
by other fakes during the campaign.
The author of the alleged Olson circular
begs votes for Holcomb on the plea that ho
( 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 like
Olson claims to be , and who eays he makes
Uls living by selling cigars and candy In
Plattsmouth , going to the expense of a
large half-tone cut and the printing at
thousands of circulars.
"Please vote for 'Mr. Holcomb , and help
me get a fair trial1 the circular concludes ,
neglecting to statothat the case has never
been passed upon oy the supreme court and
that there Is no record to show what ruling
that body mlght-havo made.
WORLD-HERALD LIE NAILED
_
IlcftlHtrntlon Hook * Tint Held Uncle or
Sidetracked Statement liy
the City Clerk.
OMAHA , Nov. 6. To the Editor of The
Bee : In this morning's iseue of the World-
Herald an article appears under the fol
lowing headlines : "Held Them Back. Books
j Sidetracked and Kept out of Sight All Day
I Sunday for Unknown Reasons. " In this
artlclo the public was led to believe that
the registration books In four districts of
the Sixth ward , and in all the ten districts
of the Third ward were held out by what Is
termed "tho machine. " I wish to say
that there Is not a word of truth In the
statement that the Third ward books were
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 wcro taken out for the purpoio 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
have not been handled for any other pur
pose since , and then only by the employes
of the city clerk'a office for the purpose
stated. Several scattering districts of other
warda wcro returned this morning. The
failure of some districts to return their
books on Sunday Is not an unusual occur
rence. Thrco of the four districts of the
Sixth word were delivered before 12 o'clock ,
noon , Sunday , the reroalnlng ono b.lrig
brought in this morning.
BEECHER HIGBY , City Clerk.
HOLCOMB MONEY VANISHES
Final ItctrlHtrntlon Ketnrnn , Showing
Grent Iteiinhllcaii Galim , Scare
Democratic netting HlulTers. '
As was > to have been expected , the final
registration returns , showing great repub
lican gains , have proved the last straw for
the democratic betting blufllers. The
boasted money which was said to bo ready
to bo stked '
on Holcomb's election seemed
to have vanished suddenly on Monday ,
A number of men with good wads of money
to back Reese scoured the democratic
haunts at night to find takers , but without
success and little of It was put up. Some
of the democratic sports who had been so
full of bluster a week ago wanted odds In
favor of their candidate and oven when these
were offered they backed down. As a mat-
tcr of fact , comparatively little money Is up
on today's election Jn Nebraska , bc-causo
the Reese supporters have not been able to
have tholr offers to hot covered.

LINCOLN , Nov. 6. ( Special Telegram. )
"Up to a late hour tonight the reports re
ceived Indicate that the state will go re
publican tomorrow by a good , safe major
ity , " naltl Secretary Harrison of the repub
lican state central committee tonight.
"Conservative estimates made by men
who have been In nil parts of the stata
place the majority at 5,000 , although thcro
are many v > ho think It will reach as high aa
15,000. There Is n general air ot confidences
among our county nnd precinct committeemen -
men and the prevailing enthusiasm will hely
to get out the full republican vote.
"Tho fusion forces have put up n hard
fight and have had an unlimited amount
of money to spend , but there Is no question
that up to the present moment they are badly
scared. The fact that they have , right
on the eve of election , sprung a number of
ridiculous nnd despicable roorbacks , Indi
cates that their campaign Is In a desperate
condition. "
It Is tbo opinion nt the republican head
quarters In this city that the appeal by tha
fuslonlsts to tbo slum element and the other
effort that Is being made to befog the foreign-
born voters on a number ot false Issues ,
will utterly fall. The tactics which have
heen employed by the popocratle crowd dur
ing the past few days show how low the
pretended Bryan dignity can bo dragged.
KdmUten U | > to Illx 01 < I TrlcUs.
While the returns received by the repub
lican state central committee will be given
nt once to the public , those received by th
populist committee will bo for the popultsta
only. Chairman Edmlstcn says they will beet
ot a 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 forger vote ho will try the
methods used In the recount fraud of 1897
to carry the day for Holcomb. The adoption
of euch plans would necessitate sending out
telegraphic Instructions nnd this could not
be done with the rooms of the , committee
oppri to visitors. '
While the fuslonlsta appear , lo bO confi
dent of tbo success of their ticket It Is no
ticeable that during the lost week they have
rmlttrml their clnlma of from 18.000 to 25,000
majority down to as low ns 10,000 In eomo
Instances.
In Lancaster county there Is ovcry Indica
tion of an Increased republican vote. The
fuslonlsts concede 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
neeso'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 bin opponent. There has alwa > s
been n safe republican majority In Lincoln
of 1,000 or more. It Is thought that Rocso
will get 1,500 majority In Lincoln and COO
In the country precincts.
The state house was practically deserted
again today , nearly all of the state officials
and employes having gene homo to vote.
The bfllces will probably bo kept open tomor
row , but not for the transaction of business.
While the registration In Lincoln was
somewhat lower than last year It ' ! now
thought that the vote will bo up to the
average. Several thousand certificates have
been prepared nt the county clcrk'8 office
and it Is expected that fully 1,500 of them
will bo Issued to voters who could not or
did not register.
Some IIctH Made.
Quito n 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 and ono bet of $300 even money was
made.
Extensive preparations are being made
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 tbo fight that
has been waged so fiercely for the past
few months. Hoth the republican and the
populist state central committees will re
ceive returns direct from the various coun
ties nnd the county committees hnvo ar
ranged for an early count of the Lancaster
vote.

By the arangcmcnts made , when one-

compiling the vote of every precinct on
Poynter nnd Hay ward last year , BO that with

system Is so complete that It Is believed

In comparing tbo vote with that of last
