The Best Course to Pursue as Outlined by General Leese, Ex-Speaker Harlan, and Many Other In« terested Politicians, There are fow close students of Nebraska plitics who have not asked the question : What will be the course pursued by tho conference of anti-monopoly republicans at Lincoln May 201 As a means of getting an intelligent solu- tion of this weighty question Tue Bee has addressed the following query to its special correspondents in every eounty of the state: What action should the anti-monopoly re- publican eonference (at Lincoln, May 20) take Tor the hest Interests of all concerned?

The power and influence of the railroad corporations is so great that the will of the majority is satisfled. The pass system and their paid politicians are used to their fullest capacity at every repubiican convention, connty as well as state, The cornings of the road are toa certain extent used for the purposes of controlling our republican conventions. The railroad cappers of the various counties who could not be elected as road supervisors aro always on hand at the county conventions for the purpose of buying proxies entitling them 10 seats as delegates in our state conventions, aud it is through this fraudulent system that “he republican masses of the state are mis- yepresented. 1 believe that the meeting callod for May 20 should _protest against the proxy sysiem, and should declare for a re- ‘ductlon of our freight rates and call upon our republican state central commitice to name un early date for our republican state convention. By meuns the peoplo of our state will have an opportunity of studying the characters of such persons as may be placed in nomination for the state offices. It can not_be expected that the people are going to swallow that may be prepared by the hands railroad corporations of this state. I beliove at the government of our state and nation i for the ads, for The ob- the railroads and by the railroads. ject of the May meeting is to remedy tl state of affairs and return the administration of our state government to the hands of the poople whero it properly belongs. We meet ws straight republicans on May 20 to mark a Line of battle, and we usk the co-operation of all republicans in the state who sympathize with the object of the meeting in- reducing the freight rates in this stato and wresting the control of the republican _party from the Liands of the railroads to be with us at Lin- col, at Bohanan's ball, May 20." What Ex-Speaker Harlan Says. Yok, Neb, May 8.—[Special to Tur Brg.]--Hon. N. V. Harlan, ex-speaker of the state house of representutives, exprossed himself as follows to your correspondent: *“The object of the meeting called for May 20 at Lincoln, T think, is to convene the anti- mouopoly republicaus for the purpose of con- forring together and advising with each other as to the methods o be adopted and _course to be pursued to most effectually in- Tepublican party of the state, and not only have them made” a part of a platform, but seok to perfect an ovganization that will be able to nominate such men who will conceiy the interests of the people, hearken to their voice, and be willing to answer to them. “Ihe Teating is not i tho interest of any man, and is not' to consider the candidacy or availability of any man or set of men, “It is the coutemplated beginning of a united effort to have the voice of the rank and file of the party heard iniits counsels that the party may be redeeméd from the domination of "corporate influence. ~ All are invited to attend, as I understaud it, who are iuterested in having the coming stato conven- tion controlled by the rank and file of the party and freed from the manipulations of in- uerices that haye not the cause of the people or the success of the party as the object to bo attained.” ty;mrpomto their ideas into the plutform of the Opinions From Burt County. TeRAMAR, Nob., May 8.—(Special to Tue B |-Many leading republicans of Burt county are looking forward with interest to tha republican anti-monopoly conference to be held at Lincoln May 20, Not many seem o have formed any definite plan of action, boyond the prevailing conviction that ar- rangenients must be made for thorough work at the primaries. Senator Sutherland thinks the principal Jobject of the econference is to decide upon some course of action that shall be consistent with the need of the people. The senator fully venlizes_the fact that the republican party must hfive for its standard bearers in the = coming campaign men - whose in- terests and sympathies are fully identified with those of the peoplé, and to this end he is of the opinion that it would be wiso to adopt at this conference Such measures as may promise most effect- ually fo secure a full representation at the © primavies, W. 8. Craig, ex-representative from Craig, Nob., expresses himself as being in full syni: pathy with this anti-monopoly movement, and . thinks that immediate stops should b taken to guard against any movement on the part of professional politicians or railroad Tools ta capture the conventions, C. B. Bardwell of Tekamah thinks that the pricipal question for consideration at_ this conference should be, not how the republican party can draw votes from the alliance, but Pather in what way can the republican party bo placed before the farming + cominunities as a champion of their interests 0 that tho necessity for republican farmers 10 go outside of the party will be obyiated. Mr. Bardwell regards the coming confer- ence as one that will have a very important Dbearing upon the success of the republican party. Any failure at this time to formulate a plan whereby the party may be more closely alfied with the interests of the farming coni- imunities will huve a tendency to create dis- ‘trust and will make the necessity for inde- pendent action all the move apparent. Robert Templeton, whose opinion upon all matters u-lmh\% to the welfare of the repub- lican party has long been valued in this com- munity, was too busy tosay much about the voposcd conference, but he found time to in- BiuAte ‘that uniess something wus done shortly that promised some measurgof rolief to the farmers, the whole political’ machine would be turnéd upside down, that the people Imight see how the other side looked. ‘Watson and Schminke Oppose It.

Such a conference as proposed can do no pos- sible good.” Drift of Opinion at Hastings. HasriNos, Neb, May 8i—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.]—The result of the de- liberations of the anti-monopoly republican conference to be held at Lincoln on the 20th inst. is receiving no end of speculation at the hands of the republicans of this city. While politics is receiving but comparatively littlo attention in Adams county yet, strong senti- t predominates in favor of an early state ronvention. In order to secure an ex- on the subject, your correspondent ewed several prominent republicans. sditor Merritt of the Dajly Nebraskan, em- phatically remarked: “If the conferenc will express nenewed confidence in the abili and integrity of the republican party of the state to grapple with the public questions of come up, and to deal with y and intelligently hefore the people, according to time-honored customs, then adjourn, go home and await results, it will accomplish the most good under the cir- cumstances, The prosent meeting is a party fnnovation not justified by the exigencies of the political situation except in the imagina- tion of its prime movers, who are not free from the suspicion that' they are influenced largely by personal aims and ambitions. An attempt now in this meeting to dictate or in- fluence the action of the party in regular con- vention will tend to widen rather than heal any apparent disaffection. Harmony and good will is what we want and must have to enhance the pirty's, intorests and. promote the welfare of the whole state.” Representative Fred Olmstead is of the opinion that the repubflican anti-monopoly ence should give the question of trans- ry serious consideration, and em- in a resolution to be made part of the republican_platform, and whatever conclusion reached should be strictly adhered to by the party. Ithaving been charged in part. that the republican p has failed to fulfill all of its pledges, it is highly incum- bent upon the party 'to make no pledges which can not bo amply carried out. Tl So- called alliance republicans will scan carefully the platform republicans adopt, and if they ar satistled that, tho party wwill faithfully carry out its platform, it will do much to keep that clement in the ranks, therefore, the platform should be explicit, brief aud to the int; do not look for so great a departure rom the republican party as has been pre- Qdicted, Al that the favmers ask is that they and their interests be fairly represented. This they certainly are entitiod to, and the party must give them due recognition; think an early convention witl be beneficial, = be- cause it will get the party’s position correctly before the people, where'it can be thoroughly considered. Senator I'rank Taggart hopes they will recommend an early convention, for thie pro- hibition of proxies in future state conven- tions, make a square plank for a fair adjust- ment of freight rates, and leave prohibition alone. Hon. A. T. Bratton in his opinion says that our farmer friends and_alliance men who are looking forward for a chance in political af- fairs, such as will bring about an_improve- ment in their condition, should muster their forces and charge the republican primaries, In this, and almost all the counties of tho state, the country precincts could control the county conventions, and by so doing they could turn the whole power of both the name and machi of the republican party to their service,” They certainly could bring about better results in this than iv any other, both as to securing desired legislation x';ud clecting men of their choice to public of- ce. Mayor Clarke was too deeply engrossed in the scwerage question and_other municipal affairs when seen by Tne BeE correspondent to unbosom himself, He, however, favorsu late conventio ks farmers and alliance people can obtain better results by support- ing the republican party than by forming a new party; is of the opinion that the clamor for local rates is all wrong, works more in- jury than benefit; a_long haul reduction, he thinks, is more essential and beneficial, County Treasurer C. H. Paul thinks the convention should be held early for various reasons, and is of the opinion thut railroad freight rates are low enough. E. D, Webster, the champion of Congress- man Laws, can see no object for the agitation of an carly convention. He favors cnacting a law in this state fixing the life of state sen- ators and representatives at six years. Holdrege Republicans Favor It. Hovrbnrece, Neb., May 8.—[Special to Tne Bek.|—The leading republicans of Holdrege, when interviewed by your correspondent relative to their views upon the proposed re- publican anti-monopoly conference to be held at Lincoln on the 20th inst., gave the follow- ing undwers: Ex unty Clerk P. O. Hedbud thought the proposed conference both proper and right; that the conference should serve no- tice, in the name of the outraged people, upon the railroad political bums to keep their hands off; that the republican voters should be urged and shown the importance and neces- sity of attending party caucuses and thereb; secure a true expression and the will of the vepublican party, at the same time relegating to merited obscurity the rail- road henchmen that in the past have, in every county, hoisted themselyes into power and controlled party nominations and delegations 31 the interests of their masters, the corpora- ons, J. A. Fredricks, one of the leading mer- chants of this city, believed the republican party was at heart in full sympathy with the people and against railroad control and dicta- tion in politics, What is needed is a more general attendance by the mass of republican voters at the primaries. That we have boen brought to the present deplorable condition, politically, by non-attendance in the past to our political duties at the primaries and the habit of voting for railroad tools when nomi- nated. Hewas in full sympathy with the conference, County Attorney G. Norberg claimed to be out of politics and had not given the matter much thought. . W. Roberts, chairman of the board of supervisors, thought the conference all right and hoped that good to the people and the party would result therefrom. Hon. E. D. Einsel also_claimed to be out of politics and had not heard or read anything concerning this proposed - conference, He beld that the breakers ahead for the party was the danger of the allisuce running an in- dependent ticket. In his opinion_the proper thing for the alliance was to use its influence within its respective parties and where its power would be controlling, Independent action would inevitably result in a democratic slature and democratio state officials, Democratic members of the alliance would talk independent, but would not fail to vote the democratie vicket. Banker Updike wanted more time to think over the matter beforo expressing an opinion. Dr. Potts preferred Van Wyek for governor as against Attorney General Loese, E. W. Boyhtol, police .magistrate, was in full sympathy with the movement. Your corvespondent could not find any one who said positively they would attend the conference, One Thing Wanted at McCook. McCook, Neb,, May 8.—(Special to Tue Bee.]—A thorough canvass of the leading men in this city brings forth but one opinion regarding the anti-monopoly convention to be held at Lincoln this month, and that is that there is but one vital question in railroad mat- ters, and that the only way to give relief to the people of western Nobraska is to sccure the modification of the long and short haul clause, 50 that n reduced rate to the markets can be had on grain and live stock, and also the two muin articles consumed—coal and lumber, Fach man spoken to makes this roply: That the local troight paid by them is Insignificant, but on grain, live stock, coal and lumber the amount is many dollars to each man, A Re Avnors, Neb., May 8.—[Special to Tam Bee.|—-Mr, E. J. Hainer responded to the question of your correspoudant as follows : ', The movement means revolt against boss- ism, and the control of our conventions, party | machinery and nominations by the corporate intorests—an organized protest against tho | mothods too often employed of overriding the will of the majority by use of proxies, bribes, log rolling combinations, etc. The first step should be to dewise a plan by which nominations can be made by the majority in the party. This is rarely done in conventions, There the shrewdest manipulations win. By doing away with conventlons and substitut- ing primary eléctions where the electors vote directly for the several nominees in the first instance the responsibility is brought houre to each individual and an expression of the peo- ple is actually obtained. The result can be canvassed by the central committee, The plan suggestéd is not free from objection, but can be made practical and means business, Mere high-sounding platforms which prom- ise much will not answer, The party must find a way in which the masses can clearly express themselves, and it must see to it thap the expression is heededy The old style con- vention must go, but the reform must be worked out in the party and not outside of it.”” THE OHIOANS, Second Annual Banquet of the Club in This City. The man or woman who looked into the parlors of the Paxton hotel last night might realize that it was @ privilege to have been born in Ohio, The occasion was the annual banquet of the Ohio club. As early as 8 o'clock the members of the olub and the invited guests began to assem- ble, and for an hour the sons and daughters of the Buckeye state continued to arrive. With 250 present, Judge George F'. Brown, the president of the club, in & few well chosen remarks, explained the object of the gathering, and during his 1 aid, “Ladies and geutlemen om where the buckeye grows in all of its native profusion, it gives me great pleasure to bid you welcome to our gathering tonight.. The object of this meeting is to pro- mote the social interests of all people, and particularly those who come from the 'state which will go down to posterity as the birthplace and home of presidents. We are here to enjoy ourselyes, to cultivate the ac- quaintance of the children of that noble state of Ohio, to bind inew the ties that bound us together before we left the homes of our bi Ladies and_gentlemen, I now bid you welcome to-the hospitalities of’ our club, and trust that when you leave here tonight you will do so feeling that we have doneour utmost to show our appreciation of your at- tendance.” The remarks wero received with enthusi- astic upplause, after which a brief period of hand shaking was indulged in, and the party repaired to the banquet hall. where were four long tables heavily laden with fruits and other products of the Buckeye state. The banquet, which was “served in three courses, was of the choicest and most excel- lent kind, and was discussed while a band discoursed musicin tho alcove, which was almost . hidden by flowers and’ evergreens. Suspended over the table occupied by the president and honored guests of the club, was a beautiful motto, **Welcome Ohio," wrought in blossoms of the buckeye tree. After the tables were cleared the specches of the evening were commenced. Dr. Denise, the first gentleman called upon, said: T often wonder why Ohioans are cailed Buckeyes. The buckcye tree is neither fit for man, woman, fish, flesh or fowl, for you cannot make any use of it that I'know of. It is so tough that it will not split, nor can it_be cut; in fact, it is the toughest thing I know of. This is, I suppose, why the Ohio is called a Buckeye, simply because he tough, and if you don’t believe it let some of tho Nebraska' people tackle' ono of us-to- night” Colonel Fish said that everywhere he went it was Olio, and to get away from the sound he went south, but there the first man he met was from Ohio. “After this I went still farther south, and there again I met Ohio men. “To go back, I came here three years ago and the first man I bucked up against was an Ohio man, running one of the grandest news- papers in the west, and so_it is everywhere— you will always find the Ohio men getting to the front.” Postmaster Cockerell of South Omaha was called upon, and said: “I was born in_Ohio, in tho valley of the Wabash. In speaking of buckeyes, they grow along the streams in the northern part of the state, and then we used the small trees for making chimneys, for you lmow the buckeye tree will never burn, neither will it wear out, and in the latter re- spect it resembles us.” W. W. Slabaugh was called and in a happy vein he explained that he was not on the pro- gramme, but as tho speakers of the evening were not present, he would be compelled to tallk. “I am proud of the state of Ohio,” said Mr. Slabaugh. “I learned there to hold a plow; I learned there to love a mother who taught me to revere the name of my native state. Iam proud of that state, because it is one of the gpandest in the union. ‘Phere is another thing I want to say. A man told me the other day that we had betéer let the club die, but we will not let the Ohio club die. The club has come to stay, and stay it will The banquet we had onc year ago tonight and the banquet we havo tonight” convinces me that it is a good thing to belong to this club, and I hope to see the names of every Ohioan in the city enrolled before the end of another year. Lettors were read from Governor Thayer and Mayor Cushing in which they expressed their regrets on account of not being able ‘to attend, stat- ing that while they were absent in person, they were present in spirit. The assembly then repaired to the parlors, where an hour was spent in discussing life in Ohio and recounting the many instances of the early days and the circumstances that caused the organization of the club in this city. —_——— PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, J.

Denver went out to the ball park yester- day afternoon haughty, defiant and ith a very wicked look in her eyes. But sho left it about six o'clock much subdued and with greatly altered mien. For Omaha gave her a very delightful cas- tigation. Think of it. Omaha 18, Denver 11. Quite a triumph, wasn't it, when you take all of Omaba’s recent bad luck into consider- ation? Talk about a hot game. Yesterday's was a scorcher, for both teams went at each other like a couple of bull terriers and disputed every inch of the way with the obstinacy for | which these purps are famed. There was any amount of hitting in the " game, and plenty of quick, sharp, brilliant flelding. For this reason, and also for the fact that the score was kept pretty even after the fifth inning, the contest was excitingly uncertain throughout and kept the handful of specta- tors on theragged edge of anxiety. But hope grew apace as iuning after inning went by, leaving a margin in Omaha's favor, and when the twenty-seventh man’ went out on a beau- tiful fly to Willis and the day was Omaha's the pent up feelings of the crowd found vent in a resonant shout of jubilation. Vietory is very exhilerating, vou know. It was a lovely day for ball playing,although it threatened to rain long about the third in- ning, and the spectators were alarmed lest this should thwart us after all, But it's all righte Omaha won. Iuks, the new southpaw twirler, was in the box for Omaha, and barring his exceeding wildness, showed up with much promise. His three-base drive in the second inning, with three men on bases, was exquisite. In the fourth Tnks was relieved by Sum- mers, who failed to distinguish himself, He was hit hard and made a bad error by throw- ing the ball into the bleachers to catch a man at first, but instead, lot two across the plat Darnbrough, Rowg's star twirler, com- menced the rotating for Denver, but at tho end of the second inning, after seven hits had been made off of him and nine runs, he gave way to Kennedy. ' Darnbrough he’s got enough. But here is the story of the battle. Willis went out in the first on a throw by ‘White to Rowe. _Canavan made a hit, stole second and scored on Kearns' two sacker. So much for a sturtet. But what did Denyet do? Why, she saw Omaba's one, and went her two better. McClelland took first on balls, stole second and tallied on Tredway's hit, Tred gotting second on the throw-iu to head off Mac. An untamed pitch let him to third, and another one home. “Oh!” involuntarily ejaculated the grand stand. Rowe also made first on four wide ones. Another wild pitch moved him up ninety feet further, a passed ball gave him third and he scored on McGlone's out to Canavan. Then what happened f Hold your breath and read: Grover Cleveland opened up the second with a base on balls, being followed thither a moment later by Moran on_ four more bad ones. Then Urquahart made a single and the bases were full. Mr. Inks made his bow. He made two wild-eyed jabs at Darnbrough's twistors, and stooping, rubbed a little mud on his hands, stood up ke @ real man, and then there was a crack like a pistol. It was his bat colliding with the ball! Away it went, nipping the clover buds as it fled through the grass, way out to left field among the carriages, and every last man_on tho bases galloped home, Tnics himself refeh- ing third! racious! how the people did cheer. Then there was some more fun. Willis, stimulated by this fine work, also lined out a single, and Mr. Writing Fluid came in, but Tit was thrown out by McGlone trying to make second on the throw in. Darnbrough preseuted Canavan with a base, and Kearns came on with his second safe rap. Then Andrews went to first on four wild ones, and the bases were again full. “Bring 'em in, Joe!" cried a fan from the bleachers, as Walsh stepped to the plate. And Walsh did it. It was a corker for throe bases, and a sec- ond time in the inning threo men came home, What a shout there was at that! Dave Rowe was as glum as a clam. Darnbrough next hit Cleveland with the ball and Walsh ran home with the eighth run on Moran's ont at first. ‘That was all, but goodness knows it was enough. The Denvers nevor lost heart, however, and on a single hit and a conglomeration of bases on balls, passed bails and wild pitches, gathered in acouple of more runs them- selves. In the third Kennedy went into the box for Denver, and was immediately greeted by a tremendous homo run drive to the center field fence by that boy Canavan. A couplo”of whilewasies followed for each. But In the sixth the visitors, on a two-bag- ger, an_error and a single, scored aunother brace of tallies, and in the 'seventh actually tied the score, The spectators were silent and gloomy, but they were speedily revived, however, fi the eighth the Omahas did Some more 'pretty hitting ana went to the front again with three runs In the majority. Andrews got his base on_balls, and Walsh and Cleveland followed with two sackers and a single, and the game was won !

Is infidelity to the spreading? - Three murders in little over a week, and rull the outcome of domestic jeal- ou . What do leading clergymen say? Their views were solicited by a New York Journal reporter. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage said: “T don’t think the crimes of our large citios ave increasing, considering the in- crease in population. Inolden times, when a crime was committed it took months or years to find it out; now, through the active scrutiny of the news- piper fraternity all these outrages promptly come to observation, While we hear of cases of domestic in- fidelity we must remember that where we hear of one such case there are thous- ands of happy homes of which nothing is said. *So far as these cases of violence are concerned,” Dr, Talmage_ went on, “ipistol and dirk never corredt anything. In no case is the taking of life justifiablo except in self-defense. Knife and sword may be neces in barbaric society, but where we have laws and officers ready to execute them there is no excuse for taking human life “Where violence is used it only pro- tracts the disturbance. The law is at last appealed to when it ought to have been at the very first appealed to. “Many of these desperate troubles avise from the fact that people have around them fire-arms, Officers of the law or people living on the borders of civilization may be right in_carrying fir but a young man or an old man who in our peaceful state of society car- ries a pistol is a cowardly puppy.” Standing up and looking like an ath- lete, the reve: ntleman continued: “God has giv healthy man two weapons, and these are his two fists, and there are no_weapons so quickly loaded or unloaded. le.\‘ are the only kinds of weapons that & man needs in these latitudes and these times.” In a more tender tone Dr. Talmage went o “There cannot be too much emphasis placed in our time upon the solemnity of the marviage relation. One-half the woes of today come from the fact that there isso little appreciation of mar- ria ne institution, and people do not appreciate sufficiently the fact that the velation is to be entered into only after the most carveful considera- tion. “People used to laugh at Martin Fav- quhar Tupper because he said that peo- ple ought to make it a matter of prayer before they entered into the marriage { think Tupper was right and is auything on earth about n or womun ought to pray it is the question of a lifetime copartner- ship.” The} Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer, pastor of the church of the Me 1, suif “The most sucred thing is marriage. There is nothing so close and true if it is a true marriage. When the tie is broken it opens the way to any violence. A man esteems the honor of his wife greater than his own, and so the wife esteems the honor of her husband. “There is nothing beyond that. The dishonor of one’s wife or husband is far worse than the sehse of one’s own dis. honor, so we need not wonder that crime s the result in so very many instances.” De. Collyer paused in thought and then went on: “I should be inclined to say that this disaster never comes toa true wedded life. It would be simply impossible as T look at it; but men and women rush into marringe and usually their reasons for ep are founded in lust and not in penaltios MARRIAGE, “A good poet says that all true love is blent with reverence as heavenly light is blent with heavenly blue. So we have to see to it that a true love should be the beginning of all. “Then it will be the beginning of all— down to the golden wedding—down to the day of death and onward into heaven, where there is no marrying or giving in marriage, but where men and women are as the angels of God:” Dr. John Hall, pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbytevian church, sai “When men oand women arve without God’s truth they commit acts of which crime in its darkest hue becomes the consequence. Agnostics who are guilty of infidelity fear nothing but the legal punishment that follows detection. They have no fear of the wrath of God.” Having this fear of the law alone at heart men and women yield to tempta- tion, Dr. Hall thinks, in proportion to the hope of escape from discovery **Others have sinned and have not been found _out,” they go on saying to themselves,” continued Dr. Hall,” *until there comes a time when almost all re- straint is cast asid It is when this state of feeling is reached that the com- munity is stavtled by the disclosure of a fearful crime—when they learn once more that a murder has resulted from the black sin of infidelity. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity church, is busy preparing for his de- parture for Burope. “I cannot discuss the subject now,” he said, “*but I should be surprised if it were proven that marital immovajty is in- creasing.” ——— Man in the Bushes. There were eight of us r on some cotton bales at a littl: X tation in South Carolina waiting for iin which wasn't expected {or nearly an hour.

Beforo he could fivo there was the report of u gun be- yell, and a native hind us, followed b climbed over the b gun in hand, and started to cross the double tracks. He was not yet over the first when there was a shot from the bushes, and the man in front of vs spun ground like a top, dvopped his gun, and fell upon the ralls. Then, before any of us had moved, a second native came out of the bushes with a smoking gun in bis hand, and as he bent over the figure on the yund he laughed.
