THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY , NOVEMBER 7. ISJW.
COUNCIL BLUFFS.
GOOD KEIW1CAS OUTLOOK
Everything Indicates a Good Majority In
Pottawattatnio Oounty.
DEMOCRATS PRACriCALLY CONCEDE IT
Little llnjii ; of All- One Scc-urlim an
OillCC UlllOKH HIM \ IIIIUIS till
the Ticket of tlic Cruiiil
( Mil 1'iirly.
"This Is undoubtedly a republican year
and Pottawattainle county tomorrow will
give the entire republican stnto ticket a
weeping majority. Tlie three candidates
on tbo republican legislative ticket will be
elected and every Indication Is that tlio
republican county ticket will be elected by
a safe majority. The vote In Council Bluffs
IB always somewhat of a conundrum , but it
certainly looks as If the city will KO re
publican this jcar with a safe majority , "
This was Republican County Chairman
Everest's view of the election today when
asked yesterday as to the prospects.
A. S. Hnzclton , candidate for state sen
ator , expressed much the- same opinion. Ho
said : " 1 have been over the whole county
and I never saw it looking better nnd In
my opinion everything bodes well for the
ticket. As to the city , I never like to
express an opinion , as the vole Is very
close and It la never known until the bal
lots arc counted which way It has gone. I
believe , however , that the legislative and
county tickets will be elected from top to
bottom. "
This view of the situation is shared by all
of the leading republicans of the city and
the democrats concede that their chance
of electing any of their candidates Is very
ellffl , William Brooks Reed , democratic
candidate for county treasurer , has been
making a vigorous campaign and has hopes
himself of being elected. It is , however ,
genarally conceded that William Arnd , the
republican candidate and present Incum
bent of the office , will be elected by a large
majority. Captain L. 13. Cousins , repub-
llcan caudllato for sheriff , In addition to
toeing an old soldier , has a flnc record an j
a pcaco officer and It Is generally believed
that his election Is a foregone conclusion.
John T. Hazcn , the democratic candidate ,
has been putting up a hard campaign , but
it Is not thought that he can defeat Cousins.
Captain Cousins will undoubtedly have the
Bolld vote of the old soldiers and the young
ones , too , for that matter.
The democrats place considerable faith
In re-electing Prof. Sawyer county super
intendent , and point to his majority two
years ago , but the indications this year
nro that he cannot bo elected. Prof. O. J.
McManus of Neola will undoubtedly have
the vote of the county and a safe enough
majority to offset any deficiency that might
arise in the city.
Dr. V : L. Troynor , candidate for coroner ,
like the rest of bis ticket will , it is be
lieved , bo elected without a shadow of a
doubt. The same can bo said of Henry C.
Brandos , republican candidate for member
of board of supervision. As a leading re
publican said yesterday : "Tho county Is
with us good and strong this var and that
being the case , the entire ticket Is sure of
election. "

trains at the depots on Main street the
jrowds scattered , some making for Droad-
uray and other streets along the line of
march , while others lined up on the side
walks along Main street. Broadway from
Seventh etreet to the Methodist church was
almost packed solid with people and the
mounted police and marshals bad consid
erable difficulty in clearing n way for the
parade.
The parade formed on South Main street
and was at least ono and a half miles
long , with forty bands in the line filling
the air with martial music from ono end
of the long column to the other. On the
reviewing stand at Droadway and Fourth
street were Governor Shaw , Mayor Victor
Jennings , Mayor P. E. Moorea of Omaha ,
Major T. S. Clarkson , Colono.l Stnnton ,
Major Howard of the South Dakota volun *
leers , Jules Lumbard , Judge Reed , L. T.
Gonung , Lafo Young , D. 0. Bloomer , Mrs.
Crolghton , Mrs. Dyers and a number of
other notables. The Flfty-flrst regiment ,
beaded by the reglmentn ] band , brought
up the rear of the column , Colonel Lopcr
nnd staff officers being mounted. As the
boys wheeled Into line at the Rock Island
depot the cheering commenced and the
ovation they received on the line of march
until Bayllss park waa reached was ono that
they or these that witnessed it will never
forget. As they passed the reviewing
stand the cheering was elmply tremendous
and the boys marched with a swinging
step that showed they were not only pleased
nt the welcome given them , but were proud
of the grand demonstration. Colonel Leper
nnd the other ofllcera repeatedly doffed their
caps in response to tbo cheering of. the
crowds. Many a Hohller during the line of
march broke ranks to shako hands or greet
some acquaintance or relative that he spied
among the crowd. Many of the relatives of
the hoya not willing to lese eight of them
for oven a moment marched along the side
with them. The column broke ranks on
reaching Bayllss park , where short exer
cises were held.
Welcomed by Governor Slmiv ,
A large , bow-shaped speakers' aland had
teen erected in the park , Inside of which
n space was roped off from the crowd for
the regiment. Into thin they were led by
the veterans' drum nnd fife corps of Omaha ,

"
"Chairman Baldwin Inlroducod lo the reg
iment nnd the people their "governor and
commander-ln-clilcf , Leslie M. Shaw. " Gov
ernor Shaw spoke as follows :
Ollleers nnd Men of the Fifty-first lov.-a
Infantry Volunteers ; Eighteen months ago
your dermrturo from the state that wns
even thftn proud of you wns witnessed with
universal anxiety nnd solicitude. Today
your returning footsteps make glad Iowa's
every loyal heart. Your journeylngs hnvn
been most carefully watched nnd the record
of your nohlfc conduct , both In camp nnd
on the firing line , has mndo the state you
left behind yet prouder to call you hers.
It IB due you to have ! t sild on this occasion
that no report concerning you has brought
olthfr ohrime to the homes from wnch : you
went or a blush to those who have followed
you with their coed wishes and their
prayers. The press dispatches have all been
of the most laudable character nnd hnve
lorne ) convincing prcof ihnt the. one repl-
ment whose heroic mission was fnr toward
the setting sun , like the three regiments
from your stntc , who. wllh equal llrtcl ty ,
followed the same nag tn other illro-ctlons ,
had not forgotten either 'their manhood or
their self-respect.
On the morning1 after your departure from
San Francisco on your return trip th ?
pnpers throughout the country contained
, the follow.tig : "Hundreds of friends of the
I regiment gatherea at the Presidio to say
I gooxl-bye , for these lownns made many
friends by their gentlemanly deportment
' while In camp here. Drunkenness and
riotous conduct are strangers to thcct *
sturdy Hawkcye veterans , " Such a report
shall be sacred to your state nnd the
truthfulness thereof will be of great worth
I to you.
. But It must not be forgotten that of the
number who , In the. springtime of 1S98 , went
from Camp McKlnlcy with proud step ,
firm heart and loyal mien , some have gone
to their reward nnd there Is left us' but
the scant privilege ot a tear In their re-
; mwnbrnnco nnd a word of sympathy for
i the bereaved homes and sad hearts made
such by their absence. The rlchtcousness
of the end toward which they strove , the
1 Justice ot the cause for which they died
! nnd the response to duty ever imperative Is
! the only justification for the sail sacrifice.
i Proud as wo all are today of what hns
been BO recently accomplished through
I American valor , when future years shall
1 have added thereto their settings and the
| hopes of Imuroved conditions tor thu op
pressed , both on the east and on the west ,
shall have reached fruition , the re
membrance that brother , father or ancestor
took part In the events through which you
have passed with such signal honor will
be a priceless legacy to your descendants.
The cause , of liberty has not suffered at
your hands : human rights have not been
transgressed ; human hoies have not been
blighted. But the world Is somewhat
nearer universal peace , universal upright
ness nnd universal self-government because
of what has been achieved by the army nnd
navy of which you , citizen-soldiers of Iowa ,
have formed nn Integral part.
I welcome you , brave , boys , back to home ,
to shop , to ofllce , to field and to factory
and may God bless you as ngaln you take
up the duties of civil llfo which you were
so prompt to lay down at the call of your
government , may you throughout all the
struggles of life , ns In the fnroff camp ,
continue to make , friends and may all things
mean remain strangers to our "sturdy
Hawkeye veterans. "
CuiiKrcMNiiimi Hull on the Army.
Congressman John A. T. Hull , member of
the house committee v on military affairs ,
spoke substantially as follows :
Fellow Citizens and Members of the
Fifty-first Regiment : You have met today
a greater army than you have ever faced
away from home and It linn clone wh.it
the enemy could not do , It has caaturcd
you. And wp Intend to keep you prisoners
In faith and love and hope hereafter. This
war has showed UH the patriotism of our
citizens. I have been accused of belne
too good a friend of. the regular army.
I sny to you that the nag of our country ,
In the keeping of either the regulars or
the volunteers , will never be trailed in
the dust. Standing on the broad plane of
American citizenship you will bear me
out when I say that they are enuals In
patriotic ardor. There can bo no clanser
from a standing army of reasonable slio
and our regulars now have to bo citizens
before they can enlist.
You boyS have gone out from home nnd
enlarged the horizon of the icnubllc. You
have altered the map of tjie worra. This
flag of ours , whereverILgous ; ' .Inanemr ,
blerrt of nationftr-HbPrtpSirta'lrlVllvluuiU
rlehts. Wo did not co to the Phlllinilnes
with any Idea of oppression or wrong
doing. A\re were assaulted by a savage
tribe in the belief that our soldiers were
cowards and we merely replied that the
mistake should never be made nsnln.
Wherever our ling hns been unfurled to
th'o breeze by our brave boys It shall never
be taken down except nt the direct com
mand of the people. This situation has
come upon UH as a great destiny. It must
now bo referred to us In congress and I
for ono shall never vote to give up one
inch of soil conquered by our brave troons.
Men of the Fifty-first regiment , you have
maintained the glory of tills state us It
was begun In the Mexican war and as It
was maintained by 0,000 troops in the
civil war. If other wars should ewr
threaten our land thn bravo boys of the
Hawkcye state will rally to protect the
nation.
Vri > d K. White.
Fred E. White , democratic candidate for
governor , said In port :
It Is entirely safe to say that there Is
not a citizen within the borders of Iowa
who Is not today rejoicing over your safe
return to the soil of our beloved common
wealth. Neither Is any particular class
hem today constituted a special oracle to
deliver to you the greetings of our people.
We are all hero for this purpose and arc
all alike anxious to perform this very
pleasant duty. The welcome the people of
Iowa are extending to you today , and
which you so richly deserve , proceeds
from n quality of liuman nature common
to all of our people and needs only an op
portunity to bo stimulated to active life.
The people ot luwa not only nnmlrod the
.sublime spirit of patriotism nnd humanity
that dominated you nnd Impelled you to
enlist , but they also correctly estimated
the. sacrillccs this stop on your part In
volved. For this splendid service you thus
promptly rendered the whole people of our
state thank you from the bottom of their
hearts and enthusiastically welcome you
to your former homes among them.
Your home-coming , exchanging at once
the equipment and' uniform of the soldier
for the dress and occupation of the civil
ian , being ugnln merged In the great body
of our common people , from whose ranks
you so proudly stepped forth n few months
ago , again demonstrates with renewed
emphasis that for nil emereencles likely
to arlso among a free and"thougluful people
ple the citizen soldier can .at all times bo
relied upon , The wise hnd bravo men who
founded our Institutions had ontlro faith
In tbo volunteer army and never ceased
to warn the people against the dangers
of a large , permanent mllltnrv establish
ment. That their faith had a solid founda
tion the lapse of. time and' recurrence of
events have repeatedly demonstrated. That
our people may never become Infatuated
with entrusting their liberties and dostlny
to military keeping Hhould'lie worked for
and prayed for by every patriot who has
nt any time worn his country's uniform , "
Mv comrades , lot our watchword be ,
"Tlio American flag , It ahull never float
above but a frog people ! " I-ot us transfer
to our hearts to beto UB a perpetual In
spiration "tho mcmorablo words of the Im
mortal Lincoln , "Destroy that spirit which
roconnlzes liberty ns the heritage of nil
men In all lands evurywhero nnd you
plant the seeds of despotism at our own
door. "

Lafo Young ofHes Molnea spoke on behalf -
half of the city , which had a largo rep
resentation In the regiment. He eald In

You have placed the United Slates alonu-
sldo of that other great nation of the
earth , England , nnd 1 have taken an
oath to bo grateful to England for what
she hns taught us. England never touches
a foot of ground without making It the

mo nothing but to repent and emphasize H. '
Since you went away eighteen months ago

common vocations of life , and that love

Welcome to Council llliifTin.
'Mayor ' Victor Jennings of Council Bluffs f
welcomed the regiment on behalf of the city ,
speaking In pant ns follows :
It Is a pleasure and high privilege for mete
to give official assurance that Council
lllulTs extends to you a fervent welcome.
To express our tender love and the. ad
miration we fool for you Is beyond the
power of words. Our city Is not alone In
receiving you. Our greeting today Is
merged In the united welcome of the great
state of Iowa , and this magnificent tribute
Is the visible manifestation ot a nation's
grateful remembrance.
At your country's call you brave boys
left the comforts of home , severed the ties
which bound you to all most dear to en
dure an unknown climate , the wcarlsvimo
march , the dangers of battle nnd the horrors
rors of war. As you marched nwny the
patriotic shouts which cheered you on were
mingled with the choking sob and silent
tear of father , mother , brother , sister ,
sweetheart. Well and faithfully have you
performed your duty. You have done credit
to yourselves and honor to your ? tnto and
nation , nnd we receive you and welcome
you to the best state in the best country
( your country ) that the hand of the Maker
has ever wrought. Nothing Is too good for
you nnd nothing shall you want within
reach of the hands and hearts of our people.
Soldiers of the Flfty-tlrst Iowa , our city
Is yours. We have torn our gates from
their hinges. Wo make an unconditional
surrender. We return you to the comforts
of your homes , to the enjoyment of the
bountiful harvests of your native slate , to
the embraces and affections of the mother ! " ,
wives and sweethearts who have been the
guiding star to nil good deeds you have per
formed.
Rev. George Edward Walk of St , Paul's
Episcopal church pronounced the benedic
tion.
llniiiliiet to the Soldiers.
The banquet to the members of the regi
ment was served In the Elseman building
where tlio two upper floors had been hand
somely decorated under the direction of
Alderman Casper. The former bare , white
walls had been transformed Into a gay pic
ture of red , white and blue , while festoons
of green emllax hung In graceful draplngs
on all eldes. The long tables with snowy
linen were liberally decorated with flowers
and formed a pleasing and appetizing ap
pearance. The dinner , a hot one , was served
in courses.
The soldiers went to the banquet room In
detachments , finding considerable difficulty
In getting away from their friends and rela
tives even for sufficient time to cat. Each
soldier was presented with a handsome
bqutonnlcre and a cigar on. leaving the hall
by the twenty-two matrons and 122 young
women acting as waitresses. And last but
not least eacn soldier wns given a nearly
handshake on entering and leaving the
hall nnd made to feel that he was among
friends who were proud to have him as their
guest.
Following the dinner , the members of the
different companies went to the respective
headquarters assigned to them , where they
met nnd were greeted by the people from
their towns or either arm In arm with par
ents nnd other relatives walked the streets
until It was time to take the trains that
were to convey them to their respective
homo towns.
The members of the various uniformed
bands were served with dinner at the Ma
sonic temple and COO musicians from all
parts of the state were served with a meal
which was a counterpart of the one served
the soldiers.
The crowds thronged the streets all the
afternoon and late Into the night. The bands
gathered In Bayllss park and rendered a
number of tunes which attracted an audience
of several thousand. Pearl street from
Broadway to Fifth avenue seemed to catch
the greater part of the crowd and the street
at times wns almost Impassable , particu
larly when Borne band would stop In front
of the Grand hotel and piny. The scene In
side the hotel , which was regimental head
quarters , wns indeed a lively one and hero
the ofllcers and their friends mostly gath
ered.
ered.Tho
The crush was terrific In the early part of
the evening at the local railroad stations
while the out of town visitors by the thou
sands were waiting to board the special
trains that were to convey them home. At
the Burlington local depot on South Main
street the crowd was greatest and It waa
near 10 o'clock before the last special pulled
out loaded to the doors.
Companies A and II left for Dea Molnea In
a special over the Rock Island at 1:30 : in
the afternoon , the other companies following
at Intervals , some on the Rock Island and
others on the Burlington.
Coiniiiiny IArrives. .
It was near to S In the evening when the
belated third section , having on board the
companies from Council Bluffs , Hod Oak ,
Shenandcnh and Glenwood , pulled Into the
Rock Island local station. Never waa such a
scene enacted upon the arrival of any train
In this city before. For houra the people
had been congregating at the elation and the
long platform was packed with a tolld masa
of expectant humanity which surged out onti
thn track : ! and swept over onto the etreet
and railroad yards. From Sixteenth avenue
to the Elseoian building on Broadway nnd
Pearl strecto the sidewalks were thronged
with people nnxlous to catch a glimpse of
the boya of Company L their own soldier
boys.
The crush when the train pulled'into the
Elation was something fearful. Everyone
wanted to be the ilrst to greet the boys , and
men nnd women pushed and pushed and
literally fought for the front pcsltlons on
the platform. Hundreds stood out on the
trncka and had not the train pulled In at a
snail's pace accidents would have be n un-
iivoidable. Ao It was how some were not
pushed beneath the wheels cf the monster
engine and crushed to death was n miracle.
So dcnsa wac tbo throng and so great
everyono'n cagernoze to get near the train
that It wao at least ten minutes before space
sufllclcnt to allow tbo boya to leave the cars
could 'be secured. Except directly In front
of the station an inky darkness prevailed and
It was hard work for tbo relative and
frlor.dB of the men to locate them. When
they did , however , they refused to let go of
them again and the darkness rf the evening
hid from curious eyes many an affecting and
even pathetic scene.
It had been Intended lo form a parade and
march to tbo Kleeman building , whcro cup
per w&i walling for the BOI-MTS n t nil
attempts to get the men togelher were out
of ihe question. They were lct > ghu to get
homo and be with their fuuillluu and friends
again to thick of supper or ot terming In
line. Ono by ono they scnllercd , slipping
away wllh their fathers , mothers , brother ? ,
and sisters to their homes , there to renew
the tics which hnd been nlmcst htokcn for
nearly eighteen long months. Some thirty of
the men of Company Ij reached the banquet
hall , but few of them cared for tupper. There
were too many friends to meet , too many old
acquaintances to renew and toj many fathers
and mothers to he kissed again.
The crowd nround the Elseman building
for two hours completely blocked the streets
nnd traffic on the ttrcft car line hid to bo
practically euspendcd for n time.
The companies from Red Oak , Shenando.ih
ami Glennood did not como up town , hut
were transferred Into other trains nnd were
teen speeding on their way to their homes.
They were served wllh supper at the transfer
dtpot
With Company L came home Mrs. Pryor ,
mother of Captain Pryor ; Mrs. Macrae , wife
of Surgeon Don Mncrne , Jr. ; Mre. Compton ,
wlfo of Battalion Adjutant Prank Compton
of this city , and Arthur Lan ? , a former mem

home nnd managed to loach Mnnlln nnd Join

with the company little ths uorso for his
long Journey nnd Interesting experiences.
As soon ns It became known that most of
the soldiers had gene to their homes the
crowda dispersed , and by 10 o'clock the
strcoln once more almcet resumed their
normal appearance , although quito n number
of out-of-town visitors remained over night
nnd Svlll leave for their homes this morning.
InoldcntH of the Itetnrn.
It was exactly two months ago that the
roKlmetil left Manila for the return homo.
The restaurants did a rushlnc business ,
but It is believed that every ono who de
sired It found something to eat.
The boys say they nil gained from twenty
to forty pounds slneo leaving Manila and
their looks support the statement.
The cars on the Rock Island contnlnlns
the delegations from Stunrt and Guthrlu
Center were elaborately decorated.
Bates' Girl band from Vllllica made
quite ; i showing In the parade. The young
women wore natty uniforms of crccn.
Henry Webb of Company 1C nnd G. W.
Dow of Company G came In on the Ilrst
section. They are colored men nnd com
pany cooks.
The delegations from the various town *
nil wore conspicuous streamers of colored
ribbons bearing the lecend , "Welcome ,
Fifty-first Iowa. "
The members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and Woman's Relict corps served
refreshments In their hall on Broadwnv to
all visiting old soldiers and their fam
ilies.
The soldiers were wearing their uniforms
that they went to San Francisco in. not
havlnc used them In the Philippines and
In most Instances they looked neat nnd
fresh.
A striking feature of the parade was
Fire Chief Bates' buggy , in which was a
largo sized portrait of Surgeon Macrae.
It received IL perfect ovation along the
line of march.
"Dewey" and "Bob , " two dogs that the
regiment took with it to the Phllliinlno ; * .
came homo with the third section. The
dogs served nil through the campaign ,
They are the property of Company M ot
Red Oak.
The lire department made a flno showing
In the parade with Its apparatus hand
somely decorated. The Ilromon rendered
valuable assistance In decorating the tall
buildings and in otherwise assisting the
committee on decorations.
Major Duggan of the First battalion was
tlio center of an Interested throng at the
Grand hotel. The gallant' major was
wounded at the battle ot Pulllan on Ajirll
i , but is quito reoovcrod. He made a line
record for bravery In the Held.
The gayest uniformed band was the
Muchaklnock band from Oskaloosu. com
posed of colored musicians. They were ar
rayed In blue and sold regimentals with
white astrakhan . ur busbies and ultimo1 ; .
They attracted much attention and played
well.
Private Xntc Hotlges of Company D ,
Knoxvlllo , did 'not-'learn of the death of
his sister at the f > hnnds of her husband
until he reached Council Bluffs. The intel
ligence came in the--midst of his'rejoicing
over his return home and'proved nn "almost
unbearable shock.
The returned sbldlers have a larce as
sortment of camp songs which they are
slnginjj to the amusement of their friends.
They were composed to lit particular situ
ations and the words are sot to well
known tunes. Some of them are lively and
exceedingly well written.
Most of the men brought with thorn
souvenirs of their travels. One of Malor
Duffgaii's was a diminutive Japanese
poodle , unlike anything of the canine va
riety known in this country. A number
of the men brought poodles from Japan ,
