( CONTINDATION OF THE CONTEST Westerday's Proccedings in the Squabble Over the State Eleotion. BOYCOTT OF THE PROHIBITION MARTYRS Eon. I. Rosewater Tells How He Was Personally Villified and His Paper Boycotted by F uibition Agitators, Hon. Edward Rosewater was the witues of the morning at the table where the squab- ble over the state ofiices was going on. e was interrogated by Mr, Hall, counsel for Mr. Boyd. He sald that aboycott was Inaungurated Bgainst him during the last campaign, Some $ime during the summer, probably in August, resolutions were adopted et a meeting held in tent in which prohibition revivals were car- ied on denpuncing Mr. Rosewater personally and Ty Bre, and urging tho discontinuance of the patronage of the paper. Soon after resolutions were passed by ifeboat lodge, Indevendent Order of Good ‘emplars of this city, in favor of discontinu- fng the patronage of Tir: Bee, alleging that Mr, Rosewater had oftered to sell the oditorial columns of Tie Ber to the whisky ring and disgraced the profession of journalism. They msked all Good Templars in the state to dis- continue the paper and uso their influence with others to the same end. These resolu- tions were published 1 the Omaha Republi- can and Lincoln Call. A circular was sent out by Mr. Beck, secrctary of the lodge, |0 other papers in the state, requesting that 4t bo published and given a prominent place hat 1t might frighten off people who might e in favor of working against prohibition and thus assisting Toe Bre. The witness {ealled Beck to his office and asked that the Hodge rotract the resolutions, as the editorial columns of Tk Ber had never been sold to anybody for any consideration, und he wanted the boycott removed. Beck acted dnsolently and impertinently, but finally said Jthat ho woula see about it. | The witness suw the United States district attornoy und County Attorney Mahoney and the latter assured him that he had agood cuse mgainst the lodge if he wanted to push it. He again culled up Mr. Beck and askeaabout the guatter, and a few days later received a lettor Which he still has in his possession. Mr. Watts, an officer of the grand lodge of Good Memplars of the state, also sent him a let- 1 reitorating tho former char snd stating that Mr. Rosewater wans no better than a prostitute. ‘Watts requested that the letter be published fo Tux ’h:lt, and said that he thought his yequest would be complied with. The wit- ness did not want to_make martyrs of either %Ilr. Beck or Mr. Watts, but thought that hey ought to be put through, This boycott Avos all instituted because of the attitude of the witness on probibition. There was a great deal of the same thing in other uots of boycott. Letters were ro- celved from Weepmg Water—one from the secretary of the Young Men’s Christian _association, discontinuing tho paper and containing insuiting language. The witness received a great deal of abusive correspondence, some signed and_some of it snonymous, Just before election he received a letier from Nuckolls county containing the startling information that if” prohibition was defeated the witness and Hon, J. L. Webster would have to die. The course pursued with roference to Rev. Henderson and auother clargyman was another instance of the boy- Em' which was raised against Tue BEg. hese two olergymen were editing & pec known as Central West. They $28 Fooms in The Boe building, and the wit- pess was informed that they were boycotted by some of their patrons and informed that they could not have their support until they moved out of The Bee building. The paper @id not ke part in politics, at least not amtil after election. The boycott was against the witness and not against the mimsters, There have been & great many threats and lotters from all parts " of the state from partios representing all causes, Tt was claimed by some of them that the mortgage on Tne Bre building bhad been wholly paid by the whisky ring. At ihis juncture Mr. Hall stated that he wanted all the letters referred to, either signed or unsigned, 0 be introduced in evi- dence and read to_the notaries, Mr. Rose- water stated that he wanted to keep them as irs for tho future, but it was agreed s should be read before the notaries s of them takon. Cross-examination—The witness bolieved that he Lad lost considerable money by the |boyeott. Could not tell how much the busi- \mess of Tur Bee had fallen off in conse- 'quence. He could not estimate it, but it was Iboth in Omaha and outside. The witness did not realize that Omaha's course had arrayed the rest of the state against it. Belioved that certain parties were trying to accomplish that very thing. Did not think that past elec- tions in this city had tended in that direction. Mr. Lamb, who was conducting the cross- examination, insisted that the witness should answer quostions just as he wanted to have him, but the witness informed him that he must answer the questions in his own way and then proceeded to say that he know that Aome people were against Omaha. *Do you think it right for the bankers and woalthy men of tho state to as- sociate themselves and use their great wealth to defeat any measure that ey might not favor!” was thenext question | propounded by Mr. Lamb, who was appar- ently trying to resolve the contest into a fight between capital and labor. “It depends on the measure,” was the ans- wer. “Ifit is n dangerous measure they would certainly have @ right to unite in working for its defeat.” Tho witness did not regard Powers us be- ing generally known in Omaha; in fact, com- v, he was not kuown at all here, gave it out that Powers favored measures. The object of the rohibition ankers’ and Business Men's association | was to defeat the prohibitory amendment, and all their_actions were in that _direction. They did not favor a sentiment, but on tho One «<ontrary they opposed a sentiment. porson had just as good & right to adv B holiof *as " another. Tho - fo element constituted perhaps of the vote of Douglas one-third county. » The Bankers’' and Business Men's associa- tion did not intend to carry out any measures beyond the one for which it was organized, and if any one did auything unlawful the mssociation did not contemplate it. The wit- ness was present at meetingsof tho associa- tion when political measures to be used at the polls were discussed. These methods were the printing of tickets. The oxecutive committee met several times, but did not employ any one to act at the polls, The polls were veached in tho ordinary way by politicians, Mr, Blake was_ paid $600 for having tickets printed, helf for and half against the amendment, Heo was to send the samples for inspection but failed to do so. Blake was not subject to the call of the exec- utive committee, and the witness did oot know what he did with the money, The as- sociation received quite a number of lettors from fariners who wero opposed to prohi- bition und wanted to work against it ‘Ihe associution had perhaps fifteen or twenty of them work with their teams hauling vot- ers, and they sent in their bills of § or $10 each for that service and were paid. Mr., Lamb wanted to know if the witness thought it would be right and proper for Jay Gould ana a number of his associates to come here with $5,000,000 aud attempt to carry such mcal\*u as they might favor, The witness nfl) ied that Jay Gould was not a cit- {zen of Nebraska, and such action would be improper. He considered it per- feotly legitimate for the menm who owned the property of the state to take such measures as necessary to protect their prop- erty and prevent commercial paralysis, and Yo prevent and oppose any such_action by all o legitimate means in thelr power. oters vote upon fundamemtal law, and in that respeot every voter is a legislator. The {"xm to use money depended upon whether it ent for avguments, publications, whisky or votos, The taxpayers of tho state have a ri 10 protect themselves against the tax-eave “The witness thought it perfeotly legitimate for people to associate themselyes together to rolect their interests. He knew that the adependent candidutes were mostly farmers, Didu't inquire what candidates were favored by men who furnished money. Candidates thus favored would naturally getthe bulk of support. Less than $1,000 of the money of the associution was expended u Omaha. Outside of the city the or ganizers employed were mostly republicans. Rowgen was an old time republican, and vhe witness had alw: been affiliated with the republican party. ~He thought the Personal rights league workers were mostly demo- crats. The committoe had not met since election to conside tho action of the Personnl rights leagus on election day. They were not respousible to the league in any way, Tue association never has ap- proved or adopted the action of the league. 1f violence was used or corruption adopted it was never approved by the association to the knowledge of the witness. 1f any outlawry was committed at the polls it was_without the knowledgo or connivance of the Baukers' and Business Men's association. The asso- nted to do the other thing and pre- ything of that kind Re-girect examination—The independent state platform was the same general proposi- tion as constituted the heading for the call for the convention. There was no plauk in favor of probibition. Powers sought to give out in this city that he was opposcd to probi- bition. ~As the witness understood it Powers was asked the question and stated that he had 1ot contributed anything to the prohibi- tion . The witness knew so few dents in this county that gave them little attention. One of their men was a candidate on another tacket and still did not get elected. It was just as legitimate und honest for the Bankers aud Business Men's association to spond money to oppose_the amendment as it was for the prohibitionists to spend money in support of it. The witness did not think that the money expended to defeat prohubition had anything to do with the defeat of J. H. Powers for The money that was expended was an educational fund and it was needed to v temperance and sobriety d the prohibition party. ~The prohibitionists wanted to buy copies of the Beatrice deb: untii they read them and then they didu't want them any longer. They did not want auy copies of the Grand Island debates, The witness was excused and turned over to the attorneys on the Powers side of tne gubernatorial case AT THE POWERS' TABLE. Mr, Rosewnter Resumes His Review of the Anti-Prohibition Fight. The prohibition attornoy at the Powers' tableresumed the direct examination of Mr. Rosewater, at the point where he loft oft Waednesday afternoon, The witness said that he understood that some members of the Bankers' and Business Men's association went to Peoria at one timo 1o see how much could be covtributed by the whisky trust, but were repelied ard gota good deal of snubbing, and eame home with- out any. The whisky trust did offer $3,000, ‘but the association thought it too small and would not take it The witness made a verbal agreement with Moores that all naty ation papers issued on his order would be paid for at the end of the campaign. These papers were properly certified to, put in packages and sent to the office of the association, where they were called for by the proper parties before they went to register, Did not know of any being taken away from the parties after they had registered. If they were it was done by parties who had other axes to grind. Supposed that foreigners were made vo under- stand that it was an importaut election and that they mnst register before they could vote, KEach party had workers to look after the foreign vote. The association paid out probavly between $200 and 00 for carriage hire during the campaign, for taking voters to be registered. The political parties hired all earriages on election day. id not know which ward most of the forcigners came from, but supposed from the wards where the poorer classes {n'lnrip'llly resided. ‘I'he association paid for thoir papers and saw that they were remistered ana then took chaces on their voting for the amendment. Three or four men were employed in_looking after registration. Did not think that the committee had anything to do with watching 0 see that all naturalized parties were regs- tered. Noticed personully what the reported registration was from day to day. In wards where they were lax about vegis- tering the ~witness did what he could tosee that they were fully registered, Mr. Boyd was the only candidate for gov- ernor who stood squorcly against the pro- hibitory amendment and stated that he would Veto a biil to pass statutory prohibi- tion. He was the only candidate committed against the amendment so far as wo could understand. Money was contributed to de- feat probibition and mot to elect any particular candidate for governor. The citizens of Omaha ‘and perhaps other cities naturally discussed what would be the result if prohibition was defeated at the polls and wanted a candidate who would oppose statutory prohibition. Did not know what had become of the book: of the Bankers and Business Men’s associa- tion, but the ‘hors and stubs had been destroyed. When they abandoned their rooms in Tur Bee building they destroyed & lot of old pavers that had ‘accumulnted. There was a distribution of all the available assets similar to that followed by the legislature, and one was given a chair, another & desk, ete. Dif- erent ones had a different memento. Mr. Coe was given a desk. This was about a week after the election. There was a tremen- mendous lot of rubbish and it was gathered in a basket and destroyed and tbe basket pre- sented to the janitor. No one employed by Tue Bre acted as assistant to Coe. He em- ployed his own assistant, S. W. Niles had no more to do with it than bad Powers' pro- hibition attorney. The auditing committee was composed of Messrs, Kountze, Millard, Yates and Murphy, bot the witness could not say whether they ever had_anythin, do. Did not think the treasurer's books were on hand there, as they were not kept there. Did not know their present whereabouts, as h had never seen them. Never saw the sub- scription lists, accounts or books of the association. There was inteuse feeling in the city on the question of prohibition up to the day of eloction. There was o ceneral understanding that the pro- hibitionists intended to obstruot the elaction in every way to keep the vote down. This idea was advanced by prohibi- tionists who talked aboutit on the streets. The reporters came in from time to time and stated that it was common talk. It was gen- erally believed that the polling places would vot sufice for a full vote and that some pre- cincts would be crowded. Some precincts had about one thousand votes, which would make close work. The council nearly or quite doubled the polling places, but still failed to carry out the plan 10 have no more than 50 votes in a precinct 1t is not customary to have challengor: when registration is closely attended to. The object of challenging is to ascertain the eligibility of voters. Registering does away with challenging at the polls, as the challenging is doe by the registrar, It is very dificult to prevent the illegal votes from going in uuless the challenger koows everybody. Tir BE® printed an editorial ad- vising resistance to an_attempt to obstruct voters by illegal challenges, The wit entified a copy of Tur Bem of October 27, which had a circulation of be- tween 10,000 and 12,000 in Omaba on that ate. Persons engaged in the campaign heve from spring to fall wore not molested, but persons brought here near el i up contests over rogi sent the action of sus enumerators and pry into private apartments and desks were regarded as sueaks and plotters. Witness had been informed by Census Supervisor Cooke that s office at Lincoln had been broken open and papers stolen, and witness' private office was twice entered between 1and 2 o’clock in the morning ana desks ran- sacked and papers found upside down. The prohibitionists claimed to have been making search for such evidence. Before Mr. Moffat died thoy forged his name toa letter they wrote to Louisville, and then rented a box in the postoftice in Yhe name of Thomas Moffatt and had the reply directed to that box num- ber, hoping to find out something in that manuer. The wituess @id not know that these parties were roliibition- ists, but was certain that they were in the employ of the prohibitionists. Their man Johuson was scen in Tue Bee building three or four times and was sus- pected of the burglary. Johnson was the man charged with sending out lying tele- grams about this city and the conduot of af- fairs here. Never heard that Tue Bee paid a man $£00 to go te Lincolu and abstract the mailing list from the office of the Call, Tur Bee has a large list of farmers, Told the night watchman to break the futerloper's neck if he eaught him there again, Had parties looking after John- Sent word of the burglary to the chief of police, and bad several detectives looking after those fellows who were imported into Omaba. Would not say anything against all epre- of the prohibition leaders, but thera wero some unserupulous scoundrels among them. A man who would send out such telegrams ws they did wonld break open n desk. Wolfenbarger sent & ‘elegram to the New York Voico, representing that he was in this city and saw prostitutes bossing the election Never ndvised the disturbance of meetings, but the prohibitionists did advise boyeotting witness. no_ right to pass a y and it Tne Bren stated anything of the kind he was mnot aware of it 1t was not the policy of the association to i stitute & system of boycott. Witness sta that severfal of his employes were pro tionists, and he presumed they voted for the amendment. If Mr. Coe statod that a mer- chant who refused to contribute would be placed on the black list it was a case of in- timidation and not of boycott. If Tue Bee attempted to boycott & business man of this city it was without the consent of the wit- ness. The cross-examination of Mr. Rosewater was doferred until a fature occasion. Massrs. gos, Bowles, Cameron, Miller and Plennis weré introduced to tell what at South Omaha on election day. Honry Voss and Sol Princealso furnished their quota of political happenings. Wililam A. Paxton rehearsed the story of his connection with the finance committeo of the Bunkers’ and Business Men's association. He said that he would have supported Mr. Richards if he had declared himself, as he supposed the republicans would be victorious s usual. The prohibition guestion over- shadowed everything. Fred Davis, cashicr of the First National 1k, was called, and asked whether he was villing, for a reasonable compe: tion, to make a'copy of the account of Mr, Charles E. Coe, troasurer of the Bankers' and Business Men’s association, and furnish it to the notaries in_ the Powers-Boyd case. He stated that such a transcript was beivg made and would bo ompleted and delivered during the forenoon. The witness was therefore excused with the understanding that he would be recalled for further examination when the transcript was delivered. A.

Boe bldg. SaNe e NRY M. STANLISY, H Arrangements for His Intertainmen t by the Newspaper Men. The newspaper men of Omaha assembled at the press club room yesterday afternoon to devise plans for the reception to be ten- dered Henry M. Stanley during his stay in Omaha. Hon. K. Rosewater of Tik BEE was elected cnairman, and C. S. Conner of the World-Herald secretary,. Mr. W. T. Lorrimore of the business college addressed the meeting, saying that they had arvanged for a banquet, but Major Pond had wired that Stanley did not care for a banquet and nothing more had been done. He haa already arraneed for a number of persons to occupy seats on the stage and to attend the banguet at the Millard hotel, but would be compelled to cancel these arrangements. He smid that Stanley would probably arrive on Weduesday and remamn until Wednesday morning. Mr. Rosewater stated that while in ‘Wash- ington he learned from Major Pond that Stanley was suffering from_indigestion, and was averse to partaking of banguets. He was nervous and preferred to remain quiet. Ho had reccived a telegram yesterday from Major Pond asking ar- rangements were perfected and an barmony with the business college qflo‘plm He (Mr. Roscwater) thought that a drive sbout the city in company with some of his old acquaintances would be desirable. Major Howard thought that it would be Dbest to waituntil Stanley arrived before com- pleting arrangements, Mr, O’Brien said that he had observed through the papers recently that Stanley as a rale had refused all invitations to entertain- ments excepting three instances. Mr. Rosewater suggested that it would be better to wait until Major Pond replied to a telegram and make arrangements then. He thought the reception shouid be held in the press club rooms. He would arrange 4 room adjoining to beused in conjunction with the club room. Major Corey thought the best plan to entertain ‘would be a drive in com- pany with his old acquaintance und on his motion a committee of seven, with Mr. Rosewater as chairman, was appointed to make the necessary arrangements for tho entertainment. The committee, consisting of B, Rosewater, G. M. Hitcheock, C. S. Conner, W. E. Hardy, W. R. Vaughn, Victor E. Bender and I'rederick Schnaake, was ap- pointed. Mr. Snyder moved that a committee of five be appointed as a reception committee, Mr. J. B, Haynes suggested that the newsyaper proprietors with cther citizens constitute the committee. Mr. Fitzmorris moved that the executive committee take full control of all arrangements and that they be given suthority to add outside persons. Carried. Mr. Snyder moved that Mrs. S, D. Barka- low, Mrs. C. H. Brown, Mrs. H. W. Yates, Mrs, G. M. Hitcheock and Mrs, E. Rose- water be requested to constitute a committee to arrange & recoption for Mrs. Stauley at the hotel, Carried. Mr. Rosewater has called a meeting of the committee on arrangements for 2 o'clock this attornoon at the press club roows, gt Dr.Birney, nose andthroat.
