Rosewater, editor of Tue Bee, spoke here this eveningon the proposed prohibitory amendment. Notwith- standing the ol weather and the unfinished condition of the opera house, & large audience wis present to hear the distinguished gen tie- is familiar s a household word in this portin of Nebmska, There vere many ladies in the audience anda large on of it was composed of farmers who ne in for miles tohear the gentleman of ‘whom they have heard somuch, Before Mr, Rosewater began the louse was crowded to ts full capacity The speakor was introduced by Mayor Frank Puller as the editor of the newspaper that is better known to the audi- euce than any other published. Mr. Rosewater put hiinself on good terms with the audicnce at the start by declaring Wiyne to be a gem among the towns of northern Nebraska. He stuted that he would present both sides of thequestion fairly aud only asked the voters tocast their bullots for what they honestly thought would be for the best interests of thestateand do the most to promote temper- ance and good government, He expressed the belief that s a rule the people who prohibition doso for the best interests of the people, but he made an exception of theimported colonels and majors who come into the stato and villify and abuse its people and tell them how to con- duct vheir afairs. He quoted at length from statistics ~ from tho different states toshow that, Nebraska was more pros- perous and had fewer insane and fewer erim- nuls in proportion to population than the pro- hibition states, A large part of thespeech wus devoted to a discussion of the effcts of prohibitory laws and the question— “Toes Prohibition Prohibit?" He detailed atiength his persoual experience in lowa and Kansas and the faillureof the prohibitory laws of tiese states to accomplish theends for which they were enncted, The audience gave close ettention 1o the speech from beginuing to close and the speaker was frequently applauded, Tired of McKeigha McCook, Neb., Oct. 18—[Special Tel grim to Tur Bee]—The greatest excite- ment prevails in this city and the entire county tonight. ~ The McCook Democ which has heretofore been the warmest sup- port McKeighan haa in the Second con- gressional district of Nebraska, today pulled down his name from thelist of democratic candidates, and in today’s issue the congress ional space is blank and it editorially de- nounces McKeighan as being too cortupt for it o subport further, as the following cditor- ial will show : There are times in the lives of all men when problems of the gravest nature must bo metand fearlessly solved, or, with an elastic conscience, evaded. Such a problem now confronts us_ iu relation to the contest now raging inthe Sccond congressional districtof Nebraska. We are confronted with two can- Qidates who ask for the suffrage of the peo- pleand who each aspire toa seat in our na- tional congr Tho one is the cumidate nominated by the farmers' allisnce and en- dorsed by the democracy ; the other is the re- publican nominee. 1tis of the former that we are now to speak, for, as a democratic paper we have aught to do wilh the latter. Wo claim for ourselyes the prerogative to see, to act aud to irect our movements as we may ghink best, ‘Wehavevisited the home of Mr, McKeighan and investizated the situation for our own crional gratification. We went to ascertain ow much was falseand_ low much was_ true regarding hiis official derelictions and his everydaylifeas a man. We have returned towithdraw our support, (0f whatever mag- nitude itmay be,) from hin 85 & congres- sional candidate and with the determination todo nothing in the way of advocating his candidacy for the positionto which heaspires. While we greatly regret tho necessity which compelsus to take this course, wo must say that while at first we regarded the state- ments reflecting upon his private and official actions s campaign material, our own per- sonal investigations have convinced us that weare justified in utterly withdrawing our future support from Mr. McKeighm as a candidate for congress fxom this district and tolet the chips fall where they may. The city wus crowded all day with farmers, and the above fell like a bombshell in the rauks of the alliance. Thoy could be seen in groups talkingover the sifuation and many were heard to say, ‘It must bo so-we have been tmpped 1into nominating a rascal” The democrals have held several secret meetings and are trying to dovise some means of keeping the alliance from dropping him, s they feel that this isa body blow and that McKeighan isdoomed unless something superhuman interferes.

WeepNG Watkx, Neb, Oct. 18.—[Special Telogramto Tue Bre.|—The great debate between the ongressional candidates of the First Qistrict, advertised to take plice here tolsy, was @ grand success. The opera house was packed to the walls long before thehour for the meeting to begin, and hun- dreds were turned away who were anxious tohear these giants of the political aven, Root, the independent nomince, was given an opportunity to defend his side of the question, dch speaker in turn was most heartily applauded by enthusiastic admirers, Everybody wis well pleased. The repubi- caus of Cass county are enthusiastic in their support for Connetl, tis conceded by all that Bryan made tho worst break of the campaign_when, in re- buttal to Connell’s showing of what the re. publican congress had done for_iaborers, Bryan suid: I am tired to hearing about Lays made forthe betefitof men who work inshops” This break will cost Byran at least Hfly votes that wore represented to- y. Ttwould have becnsufficient to cause defeat in the district had that defeat not be- fore been assured. Grand Ratification Meeting.

Although there had been no previous preparations the republicans sud- denly became enthused and the band was hustled out and was followed by a torchlight procession, fireworks, ete. The peopie crowded the Germaoia ball to overflowing, There was quite & coutrast between the meeting tonight and the democratic meeting of last night, when James E. Boyd talked to auaudience of about one-fifth the size. Rich- ans talked upon the state 1ssues ; showed what the republican party had donefor the state_and showed why they should be re- tained in power in Nebraska. Mr. Dorsey talked upon the nitional issues. He ex- pliined the McKinley bill so vlainly that all could understand that it did not hurt the farmer, as the democratic speakers would huve them believe. All in all itwasa grand meeting, Captain Hays made @ rousing speech. ¥ 80 Rousing Rally at Edgar, Epaar, Neb, Oet, 18—[Special to Tue Bie.]—The republicans held a rousing rally inthe opera house at this place last night. Collins and MeSheny had been advertised to speak, but for some reason the central com- mittee changed the programme and sent out instead Hon. A. W.Scott of Lincon and Rev. Byron Beall of Wood River. There 'Was no mistako in sending these gentlemen, fora more masterly preseatataon of the posi- tion of the parties on the issues of the day ‘wias never listened to ln Edgar, Mr. Scott coufined himself to the tarift question and the=MeKCinloy bill, and showed the correctness of the republican |lvr||u~|p!l' ot protection beyond all doubt. Mr. Heall's dis- course, which Wwflmnrkflnlo for {ts fairness aod depth of fhought, was given to the analysis of the positions of the threo parties in “tho present campaign, with the question in view, .nr whom shall I vote!" and hepresented ulnswerable arguments in favor of the graf old party as being in har- mony with the t and progress of the times and promi: oqual rights and povi- leges for all, with class legislation for uone, which requirements neither of the other par- tios will answer. Speeches were also made by J. M. Farrely, candidate for representative, and Mr. Sco- ville candidate forstate senator from this dis- trict, and both were good, plain talks, show- ing the gentiomen to be right on the import- ant issues of the day.

Colonel Burton mounted the table and made a few remarks concerning the objectsof the alliance and what they would accomplish this fall. He urged the people not to allow the parties to dictatenor toallow themselvesto be taken vack tocither of the old parties by promises, but to stand \IY for their rights, Ele then in- troduced W. H. Dech, candidate for licuten- ant-governor on the independent ticket. Mr. Dech spoke of this campalgn as being one of ideas, not of abuse, and said he didnot rn)pos«lu abuse anyone, but he evidently ost sight of this, forhis speech from begin- ning toend was but a tirade of abuse of the old parties, huntingup every error made by either, but never speaking of the good done. He found fault with both parties and sald that whichever wasin power it would be 1o better and that the brokers of Wall street would always rob the farmers if the old parties maintained that hold upon the reins of government. He accused the old parties of being to blame for the creation of trusts, saying they had passed the most damnabdle laws thit were ever made; that Wall street brokers werein power, and unless achange was made this fall, bankruptey and ruin would spread throughout the land. continued in this manner for aboutan hour, appealing to the old soldiers to helpsave the nation again in its present great danger This gentleman found a few kindred s pirits in the audience, but his speech elicited but feeble applause.
