missed. The objections utgeu in the pro
test were stmliai o those contained in the
totltlon of Chairman Kdmlf en In his pro
ceedings against the candidates on the statu
popuiist ticKet. The first was the man was
not nomlnaieo by a convention attended by
the roijulslto. numt.rr of delrgnies and thy
econd was that the party which nominated
him had adopted a portion of an old party
name.
The bearing was set for 2 o'clock this aft
ternoon and all persons directly concerned
wero notified to. be pi went at that time.
J A. Uoyeo of Kearney and L. V. Guye of
Omaha, icpresentlng the populist party and
the Interest of the Fifth district congres
sional candidate, wero at the secretary of
atato's oflke before the time designated, and
there they wailed until after 3 o'clock for
an opportunity to deietid their sldo of tho
case. Secretary of Siam 1'ortcr. the Judgo
of tbo court, did not arrive until .1 o'clock,
Just ono hour later than the t ine he had
sut for the hearing. Hio persons who flicd
tho protest did not appear at ul! and no
explanation was oDered lor their absence.
I'urlrr In a .lnvlnl Mood.
When Secretary Poner entered his office
he Inquired of the several men present "If
thero wa.s anyone, tlicro preparc.il to rcpre
sent Mr. llusong, tho principal protestant?"
and then, turning to a correspondent of a
popocratlc new.pjpcr, ho t.ald:
"I wish ai would represent him In this
case, for we want to havo some fun with It.
If there Is uo one here who wants to take
it up let's throw the whole business over i
tho transom "
Mr. Hoyce then mildly protected against
being compelled to leave his home and come
to Lincoln for tht purpose of difondlng a
caso that was Instituted only to cause his
party a lot of trouble He explained that
hf had gone to considerable expense to be
In Lincoln for the. bearing .and that be
deeply regretted tho failure of the com
plainant to give lilm an opportunity to be
heard.
"It is deuced hard on a man's pass for a
fellow to do that way, but It helps the hotels
you know," iep,led Secretary Porter, "but ai
the man la uot here and no one wants to
appear for hlni 1 suppnso I will have to
dismiss the case for want of prosecution."
The heuring of the protest of E. L. Mo
rearty of Omaha against tho nomination
of John Jcffcont of Omaha is set for hcar
lug before Secretary Porter tomorrow
morning. Messrs. I)o)ce and Guye will re
main for the hearing. It Is not expected,
however, that the trial will be allowed
to proceed until Mercarty amends his pro
test. Ho asks tho secretary not to cer
tify tho nomination of Jeffcoat as tbo can
didate of tho "mld-rcad populist party,"
hut tho certificate of nomination filed by
tho officers of tho convention uses only
the name "populist." Tho protest filed
noon after Secretary Porter had suggested
tho use of the prefix "mid-road" and It Is
thought that Morearty assumed that tho
party would act on the suggestion and
adopt tho name.
Ilojre on tlir Sltnntlon.
J. A. Iloyco has for several weeks been
actlvoly engaged In perfecting a state,
organization for tho populist party. Ho
eald yesterday that he was greatly en
couraged and beliovcd positively that his
party held the balance of power In four
teen leglslatlvo districts and would carry
several - counties.
"As soon as tho campaign opened I began
the work of organizing In dlfforont coun
ties. 1 have found a remarkably largo
element of dissatisfied populists. They
are dissatisfied because Towuo was turned
down. There aro other popllsts who are
bo disgusted with fusion and the misrule
and mismanagement of state Institutions
by the fusion administration that they
will not vote any ticket. They are good,
strong popullstB at heart, but they don't
want to vote for the fusion candidates.
"Wo thought at ono time that wo would
get from 10,000 to 15,000 votes, but while
we still feel greatly encouraged we do not
eeo how wo are going to get that many
because thousands of populists will vote
tho entire republican ticket entirely
through revenge. Those votes wo hoped to
get, but they have been fought so hard
by the fuslonlsts that they are going back
on everything that Is at all popullstlc.
From my observations it seems to me that
McKlnley will carry the state and the
whole republican ticket will be elected.

organization and make a big fight. We be

"In every 'ounly that I have visited 1

BE WARD, Neb., Oct. 8. To the Editor of
The Utu. 1 desire through your valuable
paper to glvo briefly the reasons why 1 am
now Huppurting McKlnley and tho re
publican ticket Instead of Mr. Uryan and
fusion, aa 1 did at the last presidential
election.
1 had been a republican all my life up
to the campaign ot four years ago, but
like many others, after the nomination of
Uryan at Chicago and the adoption ot the
.r,e silver plank in that platform, 1
nought tho free coinage of silver would
iidp out the distressing conditions then
existing and consequently did all In my
power at that time to elect Mr. Uryan
president.
We all knew that a change at that time
for the better must speedily come or wide
spread destitution would overtake us nil
and as the fuslonlsts told us and Mr. Uryan
reiterated It upon the stump that we
could only get relief by the free coinage
of sliver 1 was willing for the good of tho
country to tty It.
Tho opposition to the republican party
r.ssured us during that campaign that if
McKinley was elected tho country would
go to rulu, thut prices of farm products
would fall, labor would be out of employ
ment ana the factories would close. Now,
what are the facts as read In the light
of that prophecy? McKlnley was elected,
the gold standard has been enacted Into
law. prices for all farm products aro
higher, labor Is employed at remunerative
wages, the factories are In operation dav
and night nnd prosperity unbounded Is vis
ible on evcrv hand.
I am not nnd havo not been a candi
date for offlce at the gift of the people
and only have at heart the best Interests
of all the people. I urn not a politician,
but nm a person when I seo I have made
a mistake havo the manhood and couracu
to admit It nnd try to make proper amends
therefor.
My only reason for voting and working
earnestly and persistently ns 1 did for
the election of Uryan in 1890 was on nc
count of the silver Issue and believing
then that his election would bring the
better times prophesied I worked ear
nestly for his election, but as mich bet
ter times came so soon after his defeat
nnd coming, as. I believe they have to
stay, and as he and his confusion parties
havo practically admitted that the silver

ver to now bo switched and turned over
to Brynu democracy and I shall from this
time on do all In my power by my voice
and my vote to ro-clect President Mc
Klnley and to elect the republican state
and legislative ticket.
On the question of the Philippines 1 am
with the republican party nnd President
McKlnley from first to last.
It would now be cowardice to withdraw
nothing done by this administration thero
except for the best Interest, njid, develop
ment of the people and of the archipelago.
Law nnd order are being established and
aI1 jaw-abiding people there aro more than
satisfied with what hns already been ac
compllshcd and no good or patriotic citi
zen of this country should bo against the
president nnd our policy there. The Amer
ican flag waves over thoso islands for the
good of thoso people and for them alono
and no one In this country has any de
sire of establishing cither militarism or
Imperialism there and no one even be

of President McKinley or the republican

GEORGETOWN, Ky.. Oct. 8 The trial ot
Henry E. Youtsey for tho murder of Gov
ernor Ooubtl oigau In reality today and re
markable prog,t.B8 was made once the ex
amination ol .tliuesscs began. The Jury
will be taken to Frankfort tomorrow morn
ing to view the scene ot the tragedy. Tho
most Important witnesses of the day wero
M. H. load, Frank H. Johnson, J. U. Mat
hews, Louis Smith and Wade Watts. Their
testimony was circumstantially strong
against You sey, but his attorneys are con
fident of disproving any presumption ot bis
participation In the murder. Culton and
Golden havo yet to testify as to Youtsey's
talk about the steel bullets nnd his receiv
ing the key from John Powers.
The special veniro of fifteen men trom
Uourbon county were In the court room this
morning when the trial was called. The
firfcl man called was accepted by both sides
and the Jury was complete. The jury was
sworn and Attorney Ibadicy made the state
ment to the Jury for the commonwealth.
Colonel Crawford for tho defense moved
to discharge the Jury on tho gr. und, Qrs.,
that the Jury Is not composed of bjsUud
ers. but summoned from remote pa.ts of i
the county, second, that tho jurymen aro
all democrats, and as the crime chatged
involves politics to a large extent, the de
fendant cannot expect a fair and Impartial
trial from such a Jury. Youtsey Died two
miidavlts In support of the motion.
Judge Contrill said; "The main ques
tion was. whether the veniro vvas summoned
from the 'mntu body of tho county.' There
were forty-six Jurors drawn from the
wheel who lived in or near Georgetown,
and from only two precincts were thero no
Jurors summoned.
"The complexion of tho Jury politically
has nothing to do with this defendant, as
he Is Indicted for murdor and not for any
political offense. I must overrule the mo
tion." Crawford filed another motion to allow
the commonwealth to elect whether It
would tiy Youtsey for actually firing the
shot or for aiding and abetting tho man
who did firo the shot. Tho court replied
It was a matter over which he had no con
trol and the attorneys could coufer con
cerning It. Franklin said the common
wealth simply wished to try Youtsey under
tho indictment and let the Jury say
whether he fired the shot.
Demur to Indictment.
The Jury was brought In and Crawford
filed a demurrer to the indictment on the
ground that It named no one as firing the
shot and that It did not sufficiently de
scribe the effenso chargod analnst Youtsey.
The court took the demurrer under advise
ment during tho noon recess. Crawford
asked to state the caso for the defendant
right after the commonwealth stated Its
case. The court ruled he could do so If
tho commonwealth did not object.
At the afternoon session Judge Cantrill
overruled the demurrer to th Indictment,
to which the defendant accepted. The com
monwealth's attorney said ho preferred
the defense would not make Its statement
until the prosecution concluded Its direct
testimony and It was so ordered.
Scott .Not Allnnrd to Testify.
Tho list of the commonwealth's wit
nesses being called showed twenty-seven
present and thirty-four ntsent: witnesses
for the defense, seven present and fifty
three absent.
Attorney Scott of Frankfort was callod
as the first witness. Scott eald Youtsey
talked to him ln his (Scott's) house about
his connection with the shooting, but said
nothing about employing him as his at
torney, saying that nine or ten days later
Youtsey camo to his offlce and asked him
to "stand by him" r.nd that ho (Scott)
replied- "I will Btand by you If you are
right." The defense here objected to Scott
testifying because the relation of attor
ney and client prohibited It. Tho Jury re
tired nnd a discussion followed as to
whether or not Scott must tell what Yout
sey said ln tho first conversation. Scott
said he told Youtsey at the second conver
sation that he would not defend any man
charged with Goebel's murder. Judge
Cantrill culled Scott up to the bench and
after a long private conversation with
him decided that Scott could not testify.
McKenzle Todd, private secretary to W.
S. Taylor, In January said:
On Sunday, January 17, my nttention was
cnlied t i Youtsey by Treasurer Day ln the
reception room of the secretnry of stnte
Ho was sitting by the mldd.e window with

legislature Later ln the doy I saw him In
Caleb Powers' room with a gun. sitting by
tho window. The window was raised re lit

said: "There 1 trouble up thero." poln'ln

be prepared for it."

Ho pulled back a long board standlii?
against the wall dlsc'cnlng some guns nnd
tald to me: "They fay Powers, is a bravo
man, but vvher there aro signs of trouble
he hides his guns."
After that Powers himself came In and
Youtsey again said he would not tart any
thing, but was prep.ireil for trouble. 1
told him ho ought not to think of shoitlnr
out of that window nnd Youtsey snld:
"That's right; It vvoujd never do."

Todd waB not cross-examined by the do
fersc. Frank H. Johnson, who was deputy state
atditor In January, said he had a conversa
tion with Youtsey prior to January and
while he recalled the talk rather indis
tinctly, ho remembered that Youtsey Bald

"Every fall and winter of lato years I
had a fcevero cough aud cold which physi
cians have been unable to cure This last
winter at the advice of a friend I decided
to try Peruna. Both my friend aud her
family had used Peruna with good results.
"1 was more than pleased with what tho
medicine did for me, aud keep It aiwas
in tho house. I also had chronic catarrh ot
the head, which made the slightest cold so
much worse. 1 am completely cured of my
catarrh after four mouths' faithful use ot
Peruna, and my general health Is greatly
Improved. I always speak a good word for
Peruna." IDA MURRAY.
