HASTJNOS, Neb., Oct. 30. The people of
this city, Irrespective of politics, ure In
censed and Indignant over the cruel false
hood put In circulation by scundat-nion-Kara
of the fusion party concerning the
character of Clinrlen H. Dietrich, republican
candldato for governor, and for more than
twenty years a beloved and highly es
teemed citizen of this town. There Is not a
Tsputnhlfl citizen lions who does not pro
nounce tho attacks on Mr. Dietrich false
and monstrous. As a means of silencing the
putrid lips of rumor and exposing the
vicious falsifiers who have been Imposing
tipou public credulity with vile and shame
ful stories about Mr Dietrich, the follow
ing statement, signed by citizens of Hast
ings, Is offered. Among those whose names
apponr ns signers nro many of ihe leading
men and women of Hastings, many of whom
are prominent In business and religious cir
cles. Here aro Mr. Dietrich's neighbors
who have lived In the same town with him
for many years, Hero Is what they say of
him over their own signatures:
Whereas, Report have been circulated
for the purpose of liiftiiriirlnit votes agaliiHt
our fellow townsman. Hon. '. H. Dietrich,

l"ltiK addicted to the use of lliiior anil also
saying Hint his reputation Is that of i II
rentlous man, we. the undersigned citizens

Mr. Dleirlrh linn lived In Hustings for
twenty-two years. Wo are thoroughly ac
quainted with him and we embrace this op
portunity to repel the vicious attacks on his
character, lie Is not a drinking man, In
tho ordinary acceptance of the term. He In
not a freipienter of saloons and his reputa

Mr Dletrtrh Is it man of large business
Interests. He him been u potent factor,
morally and financially, In the upbuilding
of our city. Ah n business man his reputa
tion Is good and we believe that If elected
to the high ndlce of governor lie would
bring to the discharge of Its duties such

prudent, economical administration. As

LINCOLN. Oct. 30. (Special Telegram,)
Hepubllcans here do not attach any po
litical significance to the report printed
In fusion newspapers that a poll of the
subscribers of the Frele Pressc, a German
newspaper printed here, showed an over
whelming sentiment In favor of llryan's
elictlon The paper declared for Hrynn at
tho beginning of tho campaign last year
nud for many months has been considered
a straight democratic paper, although It
claims to be Independent. When this is
considered It Is not at all surprising Hut a
majority of Its subscribers are for Uryan.
To correct a misinterpretation of one of
his recent decisions relative to the assess
ment of members of mutual Arc Insurance
companies a letter written by Auditor Cor
nell was made public today. In It ho de
clares that ho meant that mutual com
ranlcs chartered under the law of 1837
could not fix the rate of assessment and,
further, that he did not refer to the com
panies organized under tho law of 1S73.
Many policyholders of the three compa
nies chartered under the old law con
cluded from the auditor's decision that he
meant to Include all mutual companies.
An nfllcer In one of the old companies
said the false Impression formed from tho
decision had greatly Injured their business,
tatiBing tho cancellation of a large num
ber of conttacts.
Dr. Jacob Gould Hchurman spoke from
n nonpolltlcal standpoint on tho Philippine
problems before the students of tho Uni
versity of Nebraska In the chapel this
morning. He said the Filipinos aro ca
pable of being educated and that they
looked to the Americans for cnllghtment.
Although nonpartisan. Dr. Scliurman took
only one view of tho situation, asserting
that tho duty of the American people Is
clear and should he Indisputable.
Thomas Kicheson, a conductor In the em

NKHHASKA CITY. Oct. 30. (Special.)
When shown a telegram that Orover Clove
land has written to Don Dickinson reaffirm
ing the news ho expresed In Ills speech of
April 27. 18H7. arraigning Hryanlsm and
authorizing Dickinson to innke any uso of
the letter he sees lit, ex-Secretary J. Ster
ling Morton said:
I have often wondered why the frlendn of
Orover Cleveland, who know his patriotism
and courage, should have any doubts about
his choice between Hryanarcliv und repudi
ation on tho one hand and a stable, holiest
currency on the ether No advocate of
financial fallacies has evjr claimed Clcvt
land's Influence for dishonest currency.
Therefore, I am not surprlJed wlivn you
tell mo that Mr. Cleveland still stands for
honesty In llnance and for the Integrity
rind honor of the national credit No per
son who knows Orover Cleveland well ever
doubted his poMtlnn on tho money question
ami therefore no such person ever sus
pected Orover Cleveland of supporting
Hrynn and Crnker. Mr Cleveland would
no sooner advocate Dryap than Crok-'r
would eulogize and support Clevelmd.
Tnmmnn.v and Bryan may congenially mix,
but Tammany and Cleveland nro ns unlike
nnd repellaul to each othfr ns lire and

Never have I for a moment believed tint
Cleveland could be wheedled or entrapped
Into the support of the Tammany hnll com
bine of Crnker, Hryan, Tillman and Altgele1,
who have a trust on all that Is vicious,
dangerous and putrid In politics.

At Guide Hock, Neb., yesterday an old

the meat, bread and coffee were served
free to an Immense crowd. During the
afternoon Mary E. Lease talked for two

At Angus, Neb., last night a republican

Tho republicans of Nuckolls county have
not been as strongly organized for ten
years as they aro this fall. For several
weeks two or three, school house meetings
have been held nightly Id tho north half
of tho county under tho direction of the
Nelson Republican club and two or three
of these meetings aro held nightly In the
south half by the Superior Republican
club. Instead of returning a populist ma

tho speaker tho closest attention. He cov
ered every Issue of tho campaign in a most
convincing manner and his speech had good
results. Ho spoko of llryan's war record
as compared with the records of the repub
lican candidates and asked tho voters to
decldo which was the most capable of de
fending the honor of this " great nation.
Ho made a statement In regard to Mr.
Uryan never before heard here. It was to
the effect that when Colonel Uryan went
to Washington to offer his services in do
fonso of his country that Instead of asking
for n colonel's commission he asked to be
made n major general, but that his request
was not granted, because he had had no
experience. Ho made this statement and
said he would stand by It. as he bad re
ceived the Information direct from a mem
her of tho cabinet. The statement created
considerable surprise here.

O'NEILL, Nob,. Oct. SO. (Special Tele
gram.) Populism must bo on Its last pegs
In this section, when the lenders have to
resort to falsehood and deception to further
their cause. John K. Tomslk of school dis
trict No. 69, who liven In Holt county, states
that on October 29, two men came to his
place and requested that ho glvo them
the names of all the boys lit his school dis
trict, between tho ngea of 16 and 30 years.
He gavo them tho names of about seven boys
and after they had taken down tho names
Mr. Tomslk nsked thorn what wan wanted
with the names of thoso boys. They told
him that It McKlnley was elected the gov
ernment Intended to send 160,000 soldiers
over to the Philippine Islands to put down
tho war thero quick, and they wanted tbe
names of tho boys to go as soldiers. They
pretended that they represented the re
publicans and tho government, nnd asked
him to say nothing to any populist In the
community.
Ho says one of tho men who drove was
P. D. Mullen of O'Neill, and the other provod
to be J. II. Durkc of Omaha. Ho says ho
thought It strange, ns ho knew Mr. Mullen
was a populist. They told him they got
his name, from tho republican state central
commltteo.
Then they drove on southwest through
that pnrt of Holt county which Is thickly
settled by Ilohcmlan and German voters. Mr.
Tomslk Is a republican and n Uohemlan.
Ho states that It alarmed his mother and
father to think that ho had given tho namivi
of the boys to go ns soldiers. Ono of the
men It seems to him acted as a federal o Mi
rer of somo kind. It Is also known that
Mr. Mullen and Purko wero operntlng In

HASTINGS, Neb.. Oct. 30.-(Spec!al.)
When Kev. Klrschstcln was Informed what
had appeared In Sunday's World-Herald
purporting to be an Interview with tho min
isters of Hastings and that his name wns
In the list that was opposed to Dietrich, he
was greatly surprised and denied most
emphatically that he had been Interviewed
or thnt he hud said that he would or would
not vota for Mr. Dietrich. Rev. Klrsclisteln
said that If there was any statement mado
In regard to politics In which ho was quoted
or his name appeared In It In any way It
was absolutely falso and without a grain of
truth In It. He further said that he did not
think It Just for people to lie so carried
away with their party politics that they
stop at nothing In their efforts to tear down
and destroy n candidate's reputation for no
other reason than that- their choice can
didate may win.
To prove what an outright campaign lie
tho article was, Rev. Kerschstoln Is not
a Hastings minister, but has been residing
and preaching In Lincoln for many years.
He was here last week making arrangements
to tnko the Christian church of this city,
which ho will do before long, and he doslrcs
It to bo thoroughly understood that be will
not nnd does not take any part In politics
further thnn to vota for such men as he
sees fit.
Tho citizens of Hastings, regardless of
their political affiliations, have become
n roused and nro very Indignant over tho
slanderous reports that are being circulated
about Mr. Dietrich.
Mr. Dietrich has lived In Hastings
twenty-two years and the citizens of Hast
ings and Adums county know- him to bo a
man who has always stood for honesty and
ono who has .always fought against any
thing that appeared to be a dishonest
movoment that ever camo up In municipal
affairs. Ho stands high in all the social
circles of this city, as welt as In tho busi
ness world.

When John llnlier Is Cnllril

Tho acquiescence, If not connivance, of
County Attorney Shields with the gambling
In South Omnhn was strikingly exposed in
tho county court Tuesday' In the preliminary
hearing of John Mnher, charged with set
ting up nnd maintaining gambling devices
nt 2501 N street. Instead of the county
prosecutor. Parko Godwin appeared for the
prosecution, which was carried on In the
nnmo of Edward Cook, a local detective.
Maher was arrested Saturday afternoon,
along with Richard Herlln, but tho case of
tho latter did not come up, having gone
over by consent of tho nttornys.
The first witness was Scott Dunn, who runs
a saloon on the first floor. Godwin Bought to
draw from him that he hnd been Instru
mental In securing tho removal of J. H.
Rudesdorf's blllnrd hall from the second
floor of tho building nnd hnd, with Maher,
paid Itudesdorf money to vncnto and destroy
his lease. Dunn tremblingly manifested a
most treacherous memory of what occurred
and could not tell nnythlng that was wanted.
At tho close of his testimony County At
torney Shields Interupted to explain that
some days ago Parko Godwin had come to him
and stated that ho had u client named Sher
man who Is a gambler, but who had been
barred out of tho business in South Omaha
by a trust among the gamblers. To excuse
his refusal to proaccuto Shields said Godwin
wanted him to bring suit ngalnat the gam
blers operating In South Omaha, represent
ing that testimony could be hail to show
gnmblers In South Omaha were pnylng trib
ute to public ofilclals. He pretended that ho
decllnod to bring the suit because It wns
In behalf of another gambler.
Godwin replied that he had no doubt that
If the hearing should result In binding the
prisoner over for trlul the county attorney
would prosecute tho ease In the district
court. He also declared that testimony Is
available thnt tribute Is being levied upon
gamblers In South Omahn for protection and
that he believed that within the next few
days ho will bo able to produce such evi
dence. Judgo Vlnsonhnler responded that If thnt
le the truth there ought to bo a shower of
wnrrants, and directed attention to tho seri
ous character of the chnrges.
The hearing then proceeded with J. H.
Rudesdorf In tho witness box. He testified
that ho had moved out of the rooms and had
been paid 1100 by Dunn In the presence of
Maher to destroy his lease. Ho had Turned
tho koys ovor to Maher.
Edwnrd Cook, tho detective, testified that
ho had gambled In tho plnce three nights
during the current month, nnd that thero
was a faro bank, a Btud poker table, a crap
game, a rouletto wheel, a ehuckaluok gnme
and n Klondike game In full operation there.
L. B. Grlcr also testified to the same pur
port, having visited the place tho same
evenings with Cook at tho latter's Invitation.
Judgo Vlnsonhnler discharged the accused
on the ground thnt the testimony did not
show that he was the keeper of the place.
