' THROW EGGS AT ROOSEVELT
Brjinlred Democracy of Elmlra Try to
Emulate the Victor Rowdies.
IMMENSE CROWD GREETS THE GOVERNOR
(.'racll nnjn Onlilo Thfmelvm In
Citrine College Welcome tn the
Next Vice President of the
United .State.
ELMIKA, N. Y.. Oct. 29. For Ihe first time
Id New. York stnto and In the home of the
democratic candidate for governor Theodore
Rooaevelt was assaulted on tho streets of
Hlmtra tonltfht on bis way to the places
of meeting. He was In a carriage with
Former Senator Kassett and at several
points (Jong tho route was pelted with egg
and vegetables and greeted with the vilest
aplthets. Ho sat In dignified silence while
the pollco looked on quiescently. The cam
paign club from Corning was also assaulted
personally and a bitter fight ensued. In
tho places of meeting the governor had no
Interruptions, After It was over he said.
"It was nasty conduct, tho conduct of hood
lums." Kxcept ns noted Governor Roosevelt's
welcome In Klmlra was a great political
demonstration. There, were nearly a thous
and, mounted rough riders and the Lyceum
and New Tlvoll theaters were crowded with
people eager to hear tho governor and over
flow outdoor meetings were held. Fully
10,000 persons were In town. The governor
today, at all threo of his stops, and especi
ally In Elmlra, tonight, devoted himself
principally to a defenso of tho national ad
ministration. Blx niHii from Corning were badly hurt,
being severely bruised.
"The fight at Victor," said Secretary Kocb
of tho Governor's staff, "was not half so
bad as that, hern tonight. At Victor no
blood was shed, but here blood flowed quite
freely."
Welcomed by It hard tin. in.
ITHACA, 'n. Y., Oct. 19. Tho Hoosevelt
train arrived here a llttlo behind time and
tho greatest enthusiasm of the entire trip
was manifested In the city and at tho train.
This was duo partly to the presence of
Cornell college btudents. A trolley car
was In waltlug for the party at the depot
and as It passed down tho main streets
toward the' meeting place it had to go
through tho lines of students exhibiting the
wildest enthusiasm. Some of tho students
had dinner palls In their hands and wore
blue Jumpers. A parade was formed with
throe bands nnd a great crowd of students
and citizens. The governor dwelt upon
tho features of the McKlnley administra
tion. Ho satd to one of the committee:
"I shall answer all questions goodna
turedly." In th crowd circulars had been distrib
uted asking him his record as to assertions
be was alleged to have mado regarding
farmers and laborers and containing a piece
of Terse called "Ruffian Rider Roosevelt."
Ic was about an hour after the governor
arrived at the stand before he got well
Into his speech, the boys Insisting upon
singing college airs to cnmpalgn words and
giving their yells. The governor began
with a phrase calculated to put all the
students In good humor. He said: "I am
glad to bo with you this afternoon and I
want to say that on the 6th of November
oxt I hope to see tho republican party
win with a greater score than that with
Which you whipped Dartmouth last Satur
lay, J2 to 6."
After saying this tho speaker had to watt
for fully live minutes before the tumult
topped aol'he""strted again,' saying:' "I
Will keep up a serious study of football."
Keedless Denial of Silly Humor.
In part Governor Roosevelt said:
I want to call your attention to one or
two phases ol tho campaign, but before
doing eo I want to preface what t say by
a correction of a local democratic paper.
That puper stated In Appropriate headlines
that I had raid four years ago that I would
lead an army to Wnshlngton to prevent the
inauguration of Mr. Hrynn If elected. It
seems to me, speuktng seriously, a llttlo
humiliating even to huve to denv what Is
tot merely n fnlsehood, but a preposterous
falsehood, and those who cried It either
finow or ougnt 10 Know mat mere is no
ruth In It. Not merely that I never siud
L but I never dreamt of It. I never maJa
a statement that could bo twisted Into a
statement of that character. Now that
paper will not think that Is an evaslvo
answer.
In speaking of the probable enfranchise
ment of negroes In Porto Rico and of the
dlsenfranchlsement In North Carolina he
aid:
Mr. Houghton, your coach there will ic
member, und perhaps sume of you who
know the conditions of the past will re
member, how ono of the best centers. If
Rot the best, that the Harvard team ever
ad won u negro. Now, gentlemen. It

WIKl illdll Ull ll'tAllI Ull UL'VUUni Ul IDS
color, unci It would have boon enunllv aa
foolish to hfiva kept him oft on account of
nis coior. is not mat no;
The governor's question was met by a
Tolley of "Yes, yes."
Now. all I want Is that when a man In
civil llfo shows himself to be as good a
man as this man showed himself tn ha nt
foot ball you glvo him the same kind of u
now.
In closing bo said: f
"lilt the Line Hard."
I want you to apply this foot ball motto
to civil life. Don't foul, don't shirk, but
hit the lino hard. In other words, act de
cently and honestly, but don't commit any
act of trickery. Don't do anything of any
kind whatsoever for the nurnose of nolltlcul
gain that will smirch the namo of Amerlsnn
oltlienshlp. Don't foul. On the other hand,
don't shirk. If there exists u clans In this
community for which I ha-o little use It Is
tho class of those timid good people whs
ant mighty good tn their own parlors, but
don't come out to do u man's work In tho
world. You havti got to have not merely
Tlrtue. but you must have virile virtue you
must be a man.
"You'ro tho stuff," said a voice tn the
audience.
Tho govornor paid a compliment to one
of the college men, a son of Richard Oroker.
by refusing to make, as he has generally
done at other stops, a personal attack upon
the Tammany leader. In hUThour's speech
ne aia not mention the name of Mr. Croker,
Indue Yates Must Ileal.
CHICAGO, Oct 29. Richard Yates, re-
puDiican candidate- for governor of Illinois
was takau 111 last evening in this cltv.
h physician who was called to attend

DAHLMAN "HELPS BRYAN OUT
Stakes a Mttle 'speech While III
Chief In DremlnK far the
Ufcnsloii,
UA1NDRIDOE, N. Y., Oct. 29. Mr. Uryan
began the first day of tho last week of his
campaign with a brief speech at this place.
His train had been run from New York to
Ualnbrldgo via Albany during the night and
brought up here at 7 o'clock. Notwith
standing the early hour thero was a throng
of people at tho railroad station and Mr.
Bryan wa compelled to respond to their
calls. He had not yet risen, but ho dressed
promptly nnd went to tho rear platform of
the Rambler, where ho was soon Joined by
Mrs. Rryan, who will remain with him dur
ing thb week. Thero were loud cheers
notn lor Mr. uryntt nnd his wlfo and n gen
eral demand for a handshake, which was
acceded to by both. The resident popula
tion had been reinforced by trnlnloads of
people from other places.
Mr. Uryan started the day with a sched
ule of thirty speeches before him, but he
announced at the breakfast table that he
was never In better condition for tho cam
paign and said ho r.nnted to inako all tho
speeches so as to break his own record,
the highest number which he had hitherto
made In one day being twenty-seven.
This point developed a new orator In tho
party In the porson of James C. Dahlman,
the Nebraska national committeeman.
While the crowd was waiting at tho depot
for Mr. Uryan and clamoring for his ap
pearance Mr. Dahlman stepped out on the
rear platform to explain the situation.
Then he made a speech, telling the people
that ho had been with Mr. Dry an from the
beginning of the campaign and he was
suro there would be a landslide In his
favor. There are gains everywhere, he
said. Even tn Canton, the president's own
home, whore Mr. Ilryan received only
thirty-seven votes In 1896, thero is now a
democratic club of between 400 and COO
members, and he concluded Canton Is only
a sample of what Is going on.
Mr. Bryan was greeted by a fine crowd
when he began to speak at Halnbrldgc. He
said:
I extended the tlma or mv slnv In
York In order to come up into this part of
the stato. I am g!ad to talk to farmers,
for It seems to me that If the people of
this country who nre working on the farm,
who are making tjielr living out of the
soil, will exumlne public questions that
very few farmers will be able" tn give a
reason for voting tho republican ticket.
In this part of New York you have a
great many republican farmers. In fnct
tho republicans have now admitted that
the cities are lost. Thoy start out with
tho full dinner pall ns an argument. They
started out with the assertion that the
country wns prosperous and that therefore
ovorybody would vote the republican ticket
and yet today the republicans are not men
tioning the full dinner pall any more.
Proceeding Mr. Bryan said that the re
publicans had abandoned the Idea of carry
ing the cities and were now appealing to
tho farmors.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29r-WIUIam J. Bryan
tonight brought to a close his .electioneer
ing work In the present campaign tn
Greater New York by making n speech to
x large and enthusiastic gathering at
Hamilton Fish park In Manhattan and six
speeches In Brooklyn. Tho demonstration
In Brooklyn was one of the largest political
outpourings In tho history of the borough.
Over 100 bands furnished music and It Is
estimated that over 100,000 people saw and
beard the democratic candidate speak to
night. There were eight different parades
n the borough and It Is estimate! that
altogether 40,000 people wero In line. Fire
works flamed until midnight from a dozen
different stands and Greek fire was every
where. Mr. Bryan and his party left for
Hornellsvllle at 12:12 a. m. on the Erie
road.

ernor and congressman, both of whom de
livered addresses at tho Overland theater.
A parade and torchlight procession nearly
a mile In length formed at tho court house

city. More than 1,000 men carried torches.
Many political clubs from nearby towns and
country precincts were present and marched
In tho parade. Thore were a 'large num
ber of floats and transparencies among tho
latter ono roadlng, "Great Is Tammany and
Croker Is Its prophet, W. J. Bryan" A fine
display of fireworks added to the enthusi
asm of tho occasion. Tho theatre was packed
full at 8 o clock and It was found neces
sary to lock the doors to prevent the Im
mense crowd In the street from loading It
beyond Its capacity. Judge Paul Jessen,
was chairman of the meeting, and Intro
duced tho speakers after a couple of rous
ing campaign songs by. the Imperial quar
tette of York. Both candidates received an

WANTS CORPORATIONS TAXED
President of Teachers' Federutlou of
(TiIcubu Moves Against State
Officials.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29. Mandamus proceed
ings were begun today by Catherine Gog
gin, president of the Teachers' Federation
of Chicago against each of tho twenty
two members of the State Board of Equali
zation and' State Auditor James S. Mc
Cullough io compel the board to find the
fair cash value of more than $235,000,000
worth of Intangible capital stock and fran
culao property of twenty-three Chicago
corporations and to assess tho corporations
at onco according to law, so that they t. ill
pay their portion of the taxes of 1900.
This step was necessitated, the teachars
ay, by the obvious intention of t he mm
bers of the state board to shirk the icsue
of assessing the corporations until after
election. Once In office again, It Is charged,
the members will refuse to consider the
matter of franchise tax and will allow the
corporations to escape taxation.

OMAHA, Oct. 29. To the Populists of
Nebraska: An article appears In the Omaha
World-Herald today under the heading,
"Deaverlsm Kully Exposed," which contains
some truths and somo falsehoods, but more
than anything else shows the desperation of
tho fusion gang In this state. I know of
my own personal knowledge that the fusion
managers nnd their agents In this state are
offering all kinds of bribes to tho mid-road
workers for what they aro pleased to term
"exposures."
Regarding A. B. Hartley of Custer county,
Nebraska, who has given them a signed
statement at so much per sign, I will say
that some tlrao during the month of June
Mr. Hartley became apparantly interested
In the mid-road movement nnd offered his
services to help organizo Custer county.
After somo correspondence with him I
found that he was nothing but a professional
"leg puller" and that he was ready to do
sert the cnuto when be found ho could make
no money out of It. His statement contains
somo truths nnd I have nover yet and never
will deny the truth. Uut when ho states
that I, In a letter to him, and gives what
he purports to be the lottcr, offered him
trip tickets, etc., ho states on absolute false
hood and I challenge him or any ono else
to produco such a letter from mo to him.
Tho facts aro ho simply lieu and I am go
ing to show that he received or la to re
ceive a consideration for it. I have a great
many letters from Mr. Hartley, all the time
asking for money, money, money. Want of
money seemed to bo the burden that was
pressing him down. He always pretended
to me that ho wns an earnest mld-roader,
but continually stated that ho bad to bavo
money to work with tn Custer county. Be
lieving that bo was misrepresenting the
honest populists of Custer county, I made
a trip up there, saw some of our friends
and told them what Hartley said about
them, that they nil Wanted money to carry
on the campaign with. His Insinuations
were resented by all the populists In the
county that I saw.
Declines to De Held I'll.
On August 12 Mr. Hartley wrote mo de
mandlng a large sum of money and threat
ened divers and various thlngB If It was
not sent to him directly. Immediately. In
roply to that letter I wrote him aa follows:
OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 11, 1900.-Mr. A. H.
Hartley, West Union, Neb.: Dear Sir
Replying to your letter of tho 12th Inst, nnd
your other letters of recent date will say
that It Is Impossible for me to get n, p.iss
for tho wlfo of Mr. K. as you request, nnd
also I am suro that you havo got a wrong
Idea of the campaign. You aro not being
discriminated against In the least. I have
given tho most careful attention to your re
quests, but have not seen my way clear to
grant them. You state thru you know help
has been given to other parties In the
county. Bo far as I am concerned I do not
know of any such thing nnd don't bellevo
your statement to be true, as I think I
would know something about It If It wns
true. Your statement In your letter about
th 115,000 conversation had with mo you
know well enough is a falsehood, and why
do you mako such statements to m? I
would be pleased to have you or any ono
else co-operate with ub In doing what wo
can for our ticket this year, but 1 am not
In the habit of being held up by any one
and threats have no terrors for me. I have
been working night nnd day for this cause
and doing everything I could for Its Inter
ests and I shall continue to do so. Re
spectfully, D. CLEM DEAVER.
On August IS I received a letter from him
in which he says:
Yours received and contents noted. You
may hnve meant that you would not take
thousands and let that gang In, but I say
It Is Impossible to got men Interested
enough to do this work and make proper
showing and pay their own expenses, and
they had not ought to. Now In case we
can't get funds here we can't do good
work and we have no time to lose. I have
put In 25 cash, besides lots of tlmo.
A postscript to the samo tetter reads:
"I don't think you understand our position
fully as stated above, but I want to whip
the democrats Just as hard as you do."
Getting; llld of Hartley.
Recognizing that the party had made a
mistake In selecting him as committeeman
I set about to get the party rid of him as
easily as possible and on August 'SI J'T.
Hartley wrote me as follows:
If you think best I will cheerfully resign
In favor of either Judge H. J. Shlnn of
West Union or James Stockham of Broken
Row, as I cannot take tho time and money
to thoroughly organize the county llko
Custer and do Justice to our movement
without sufficient funds to get action on
good men In different parts of tho county.
And I do not want It said afterward that I
failed In doing my duty.
I havo not seen Mr. Hartley at any tlmo
during the summer or had a letter from
him but what ho has continually had
some scheme to try to get money out of
mn he evidently believing the stories
that have been printed in the fusloa press
about our mid-road organization. Week
before last Mr. Hartley came to Omaha
stopping at the Thurston hotel where be
was taken sick. He sent word to me that
he was at tho Thurston hotel and was sick
and wanted mo to come and see him. I
Immediately responded. I found blm In
pretty bad condition, but true to his habit
I was not In the room three minutes until
he wanted to borrow ?10 from me. Seeing
the condition he was In and believing that
ho needed medical aid, I advised blm to
go to the Presbyterian hospital, whore he
went. I called to see him two days after
and found that he was much better and
was getting ready to start home. Ho
pressed me hard again to borrow some
money, stating that ho needed 110 with
which to pay his bills and I let him have
4 I then had with me aud agreed to send
him 6 the next day so that ho could pay
his Omaha bills as bo said he wanted to,
He stated that within a few days after he
would get home ho would have some col
lections coming In and would send the
money back to me. He has not done so
up to this time.
Hartley "Writes to the 1'rras.
On September 13, Mr. Hartley wrote n
public letter which was printed In Custer
county papers, which reads aa follows:
WEST UNION. Nob.. Oct. 13. IMO.-Edl
tors Chief: As my resignation us state
committeeman of the nud-road populist
party has brought out some editorials In
your paper. I deem It right that I briefly
glvo my reasons for the same.
I found that as committeeman that the
duties wero such that In order to success,
fully carry on the work I would have to
noglect my private business, and this I
cannot afford to do. So far as my position
as mtd-road populist, co-called, la con
cerned I stand with that party because tt
advocatss our old tlma principles Inltla
tlve and referendum, government ownership
of public utilities, and those two nre the
ones and the main planks that will give
tho people needed relief. Thu democrats
havo Ignored both of these planks, as well
as the Income tax; hence I can see no pos
Bible liopo for the people tn either of these
old rurtlea. Axaln. In the south thu nnn.
ullsts have emulated from tho democratic;
party of corruption and united with us In
the early days In usklng und expecting re
lief through n new party. The fustonlnts
of the north have coldly turned their backs
upon these struggling taxpayers of the
south und stand for Ilryan and democracy,
even though that party offers no solution
to the trust question.
These ore mv reasons for the filth thnt
within me, and ! shall never vote nor work
wun me oia panies in wrecKing tne homes
ot tne people, nesuecuiiuy,
A. 11. HARTLEY,
PnalonUta Got Him Finally.
On .October 15, soon after Mr. Hartley
went home, he wrote me a letter, which
! ra4a aa tolUva, This letter clearly shows
the methods being adopted by the fusion
managers tn Nebraska-
WEST UNION. Nrb.. Out. :S, lw).-D.
Clem Deaver, Esi.. Omaha. Deur Sir and
Friend Last night upon my nrrlval at Sar
gent I was requested to go to J. E. Evuns'
and stay over night. He had been at
Broken Dow and the committee thero had
asked him to site me and get mc to lay
down nnd give them help, etc. If I would
do this he guaranteed me that I could
namo my place and recelvo any appoint
ment within tho gift of the governor, and
they would nut up, etc. I refused, of
course, to do thli nnd 1 ask you, knowing
these facts, to sea that befdre election 1 get
some funds. Would a'.so like a mileage
book for myself, limit one year. Sir.
Her.ver, I am making n large sacrifice In
upholding the cause under these circum
stances and It Is hard to resist when 1 have
a large family to support. Now. I can
swear to these things. Tho fustonlsts are
becoming desperato here and will die hard.
Please let me hear from you at once and as
promptly ns possible. Respectfully.
A. U. HARTLEY.
I paid no attention to his requests as they
wero entirely out of my power, but con
sidering tho way ho had acted, thought I
was Justified in doing so and wrote htm
a note and stated that I would "see about
It." On last Saturday he wrote me saying
"please let me hear from you before Mon
day noon on that matter." Aside from this
proof that tho fusion managers aro making
all kinds of promises that "thoy
would put up, etc.." In order to
get what they aro pleased to
terra "exposure," I havo a number ot
prlvato nnd confidential letters from persons
who havo given mo Information regarding
the tactics of tho fusion managers, but be
ing an honornblo man I cannot use this
Information given to me without tho con
sent of the writers of the letters, nnd would
not under any circumstances have used this
letter from Mr. Hartley had ho not sold
himself to tho fustonlsts.
Chenp at the Prloe.
It the fustonlsts paid Mr. Hartley very
much for his signed statement I am In
clined to think that thoy got bit to badly
as I did when I loaned him $10. Hut I
think thero was more excuse for an honor
able man to loan a sick man $10 than there
Is for the fusion managers pretending to
be reformers, spending money tho way they
aro doing In this campaign. You may ex
pect to see inoro "exposures." I know
the time set for tho fusion managers to
meet pretended mld-roadera In Omaha this
afternoon for tho purpose of getting more
signed statoments at so much per sign,
Prom tho best information 1 can get, the
fusion managers are paying $300 per signed
statomont, and of course this Is "hard to
resists" when a man has "a family to
support." The question Is whoro does this
$300 como from. Does It come from the
subscriptions ot populist farmers tn Ne
braska or does it come from tho Tammany
"regulated" dives of New York city.
I assuro the populists of this stato that
to far ns I am concerned and so for as I
know thero has been nothing dishonorable
done by Uio mid-road organization tn this
state. Respectfully.
D. Clem Deaver.
An Immense amount ot routine business
was transacted by the city council at Its
meeting last night. Mayor Kelly presided,
and all members were present. Nino ordi
nances for Improvements of various kinds
were reported from the Judiciary commit
teo and accepted by a second reading.
One ot the features of the meeting, tn
fact the only important action, was the
turning down of the ordinance Introduced
a couple months ago providing tor the
placing underground of all electric wires.
Tralnor called tho ordinance from Its re
pository In tho vest of a member of tho
Judiciary committee arfr Insisted -that It
bo read for the third tlrqie. This ordinance
provided for the placing underground of
all wires, big nnd llttlo, and the construc
tion of conduits, of course under tho di
rection of tho city council. Six months
was allowed for removing the poles from
Twenty-fourth street and a year from
other portions of the city. A proviso was
Included, however, that upon a proper
representation tho council would be at
liberty to extend the time of the removal
of poles. Messrs. Clifton, Johnson and
Miller, voted for the ordinance, while Ad
klns, Dworak, Fltle, Tralnor and Martin
opposed It.
Following out the recommendations or
tho mayor, Councilman Martin offered a
resolution directing that an ordinance be
dratted organizing u board ot health along
the Ideas suggested by tho chief execu
tive. This was passed without a dissent
ing vote and it Is expected that the ordi
nance will bo rer.dy at the next meeting.
Tho funding bond ordinance, which has
been talked of for some time was read for
the first time and referred to the Judiciary
committee. As the maturities provided for
tn this ordinance will soon fall due It was
suggested by Martin that the rules be
suspended and the ordinance passed In or
der that the credit of tho city might be
protected. Clifton, opposed this, saying
that he needed time to look over the ordi
nance before recommending Its passage.
Ho had bis way.
At the suggestion of Tralnor theso street
lights wero ordered moved: from Seven
teenth and Missouri avenue to Eighteenth
and Missouri avenue; from Eighteen and
M to Nineteenth and M; from Sixteenth
and M to Seventeenth and M. New lights
were ordered at Fifteenth and M; Six
teenth and Missouri avenue and Second
and C streets.
In connection with the lighting question
General Manager Kenyon ot the Union
Stock Yards company, sent in a communi
cation regarding the maintenance by the
railroads of a light on the L street via
duct. Mr. Kenyon asserted that in his
opinion, there was no law compelling rail
roads to maintain lights on viaducts. He
added, however, that If there Is such a
law he Is willing to comply with It, hut he
must bo shown first.!
City Attorney Lambert filed his bond,
which was sent to the Judiciary commit
tee. As It was tho last session Mr. Mont
gomery will attend ho took occasion to
say a tow words to the council In a sort of
farewell address.

One of the prominent lumber .dealers ot
the city ald yesterday that hts country
trade Is on the Increase, which shows a
good condition of affairs. Farmers are buy
Ing lumber and are erecting additions to
their homes and barns. A great deal ot
this trade, said the lumberman, comes from
Sarpy county, where the democrats aro sup
posed to predominate. "A great many ot
my customers," said this dealer In boards.
lath and shingles, "were for Bryan four
years ago, but now they come In here and
buy a load ot lumber and pay cash. At the
same time they declare themselves for Mc
Klnley and a continuance of tho existing
prosperous tunes."
Without doubt a great change Is being
mado tn the vote In this locality. While
same democrats Insist that they will stay
by Bryan, they are willing to admit that
the balance ot the ticket will be knifed.
Among a great many Shields Is a sore spot
and. democrats are openly wagerlof that hs
wltt not get enough votes out ot South
Omaha to wad a small bore shotgun.
It wilt be remembered that Shields played
Ihe sanctimonious act tn Omaha, but hs
came down here tn company with two well
known gamblers and called upon Dr. Ensor,
who was then mayor, requesting that the
doctor line up the sporting element tor htm.
Ensor believed Shields at the tlmo and did
as requested under a promise that South
Omaha's mayor was to bo allowed to govern
the city. How Shields kept his word after
elected Is well known and now all of the
followers of Ensor aro down on this man,
who evidently hopes to ride Into a second
term by playing the tamo tactics he did before.
