The cpening speech of one Lour was given to General Vau Wyck, and he started out by repeatiug the stories of the disastrous condition of affairs among the farming class, He said that he, along with Judgo Crounse and others, began to howl thirty years ago aud that he was sull howling for reform in political measures which affect the welfare of the people. First he wantea silver restored and plenty of it. |Cheers from the independents.| The speaker did not hint at any way which would enable one to get & doilar without earning ft or putting up collateral.* A reduction in rail- road rates was demanded and the justice of this demand was urged Ly the statement thot fowa roads netted the owners 00 per year for ench ipile, Kausas roads $00 and Nebraska roads £2,600, He suggested that the independent party would take everything good within reacn. The old parties were abuscd aud accused of robbing the people. As to the m The tariff as applied to sugar was usea as an illustration 1o show the evils of protee- tion. gar has a high cuty imposed on 1t and that none but raw sugar 1s on tho free list and tnat American workmen receive the benefits of increased wages paid inrefineries, Roc! efelier and other wealtny men camo in for sharo of condemuation. The low price of wheat and cattle was attributed to ola purty maipulation, He suid that the government only paid the old soldiers §13 a month for services in de- preciuted curcency and refused to make up the aeficiency in'times of prosperity. He gave the repiblican party credit for only stealiug balf o soldiers’ wages while the democrats would nave stolen all of it had they boen in power. About the only way to correct existing evils, ho thought,” was to fall in line with the indevendents. The great demand was_for more money but the drift of Mr. Van Wyck's remurks indicated that he wauted votes worse than dollars, Prosperity of the Farmer, Judge Crounse apoeared cool wud dignified, startiog out in reply to Van Wyck, saying that e was gratified to see s0 many well dressed and apparently well fed farmers coming into town driviug good horses and riding in beautiful carriages. TLis did not look like calamity haa overtaken the Ne- braska people. He said that bis friend Van Wyck had been nominated in & circus tent a0a that he bad taken the part of a clown in the campaign. Crouuse could not amuset ho peovle, but could give them sometbiug to think about. He was not here to play upon o prejudices of any ignorant person and deplored the 1dea of suybody following a false god like Van Wyck.” He had been an nti-monopolist when it was unpopular in Nobrasks and voted to compel the Uolon Pacific to pay taxes on the land which Van Wyck voted to graut the Union Pacifie. General Van V-yck s record in con- gress was aired 1o the satisfaction of all ex cent b's followers, Judg) Crcunse said the demand and supply of proaucts regulates prices und not political T Ho showed that any ote who is in- Kn‘nfll I any wav by & corporation way sue AU suy courl aud re ever threec eld damages.

NANUE COUNTY REPUBLICANS, Thousands ther at Fullerton the True Faith, Fruienrox, Neb, Oct. 8. —|Special Tale- gram to Tue Bee]—The republicans of Nance county held a second rally in this city today and tonight. 1y noon 1,000 peovle had cougregated on Main street and at 4 o'clock when Lieutenant Governor Majors und W. L. Summers arrived in carriages from Genoa, Main strect for near halfa mile was blocked with teams and people. A delegation headed by the Fullerton cornet bank started for the court houss block whero the peovle were congregated, filing the larce yard to its utmost capacity. . L. | Summars being introduced tooik up the tariff and monetary questions, showing by fact: and s the great benefits the MeKinley bill has been to the farmer and laborer and that the present monetary sys- tem was far superior to thatof any otner country. s Lieutenant Governor Majors was intro- duced awid aroar of applause. After cou- gratulating the peoplo of Nunce county on their prosperous ‘coudition e pioceeded to give u comvlete history of republicanism in Nebraska, showing the various benefits de- rived from legislative acts, comparing tho actiou of former with that of two years ago when the independent leadors far éxceeded any tormer legisiaiure in their unwarranted venditures wnd failures to pass any luws beneficial to the masses. At7:30 p. m. o grand and 1mposing torch- light procession of over 20) torches and trunsparencies, with bands and martial musie, paraded the principal streets of the city, balting ut the court bouse yard, where Hou.

MixbEy, Nely, Oct. S.—|Special to ThE BeE.|—A few weeks ago it was generally conceded that McKeighan had a walk-away for congress in the Fifth district, but as the ampaigu progresses it 1s evideat his oppo- nent, Mr. Andrews, 1s passing him on the road to congress, The series of j0int debates between the two candidates bas forced McKeighan's followers to turn outand hear botn sides of tna question, which is decidedly agaiust the mdependent candidate. The change or senument and of conditions between the preseut campaign and that of two years 0go when Mcileighan procured his seat in congress is very marked and furnishes a theme for nversation among ail classes of voters in the district, ‘T'wo years ago the district which sent Me- Keighan to congress comprised twenty-seven counties, casting a total of 59,100 votes, 38,104 of which went to McKeighan. The new Fiftn, in which the contest is now going on, consists of eighteen counties, with a total ote Lwo years ago of of which M Keighan got 15, in sixteen counties, Hall and Perkirs being now counties in the 1'iftn, not wncluded in the old Second. It the latter two countics in 0 the vote stood: Por Richard Boyd, 1,i27; pro- ibition, 1,605, it will be seen that in the old district the majority for McKeighan was 6,557, or aboul one- ninth of the total vote cast for congressmaun in the district, as it then stood. ln the district as at presentcomprised, Mclelehan polled a majority in 150) of 3,703, which is just about the same per cent he got in the old district, So he has cained nolbing by the chango of distriet lines, taking the 1500 vole as & basis, Not ported by Democrats, I'wo years ago he had the endorsoment, not only in uame but in fact, of the democrats of his’district, who recognized in hi a simon pure democrat saiing under an alias, and they gave bim their undivided support. In his' ‘present cauaidacy he received the nominal endorsement of o demovratic convention, after a fight whuich has been lost sight of for a moment since the campaign began, Indeed it is so bitter and has been waged so relentlessly that demo- crauc Andrews elubs have been or- ganized in various towns in the district, notably in Hastings, where & club of sevemty-five members 1s doing active work. McKeighun, baving been driven by his opponent in foint debats to define his poz1tipn, seeing that bis former democratic friends were deserting bim, bus of late taken every occasion to slight' the democrats ana meke bimself moro solid with the populis His attitude on this point has caused leading democrats in every county in the district to openly denounce biw and declare their intention to support and vote for Audrews. Even memvers of democratic commitees are out at work against McKeighan. At Me- Cook, Holdrege and Hastines the straight democrats are making special efforts to en- compass his defeat, Tiie Bee correspondent viewed a number of the party,” or probibition eretofore Lhrown never has also inter- leading *‘third adberents, who have their votes away for a principle, aud, without & siugle ex ception, ' they say they will fall ioto line for Audiews tnis year. The miuisters, especially, are outspokén on tbis point aud are usiug their influence to | induce their congregatious to drop prohioi- tion, 50 fur as congressmau is concerned, and vote for Audrews. Should Andrews secure tbe probibition vote it alone would overcome McKeighan's majority. But that is not i1l, There is a little army of real estate deal- ers i the towns of the district, many of them formerly independents, who now seo the mischief this calamity howl has worked to theic business in discouraging im- migration, and to the pcople gener- ally in retarding the development of the coountry. One indepeudont real estate man fold Tue Ber correspondent that ne would like to get afidavits of farmers in his couuty, setting forth under oath what they have accomplished and send circulars cast; “but,” gaid he, ‘1t would give tho lioto the party with which I have identified my- self and it would raise a howl." Merits of the Case, He also said that in spite of the natural results of 8 calamity doctrine as preached by the populist candidates, the hotels of all the Lowns in the western part of the states are so filled with land hunters as to almost crowd out the regular commercial men who, as regular customers, usuully havo the preference. This clew foliowed up apd it proved to bo true. In such towns as McCook, with good hotel fncilities. men and women coming in ot late trains have been obliged to sit in the station orin the parlors of the hotels, because all the rooms were taken by land nunters. They are, as a rule, men with money who bave sold their farms further east and have como west to buy cheaper land. In most cases tney come in response to lotters from frienas bere who have told thewm the true state of affairs. The best of It is they are ncarly all republicans. These facis are openiug the eyes of moro intelligent inaependents so that they can seo the ivjustice done them by the demogogic leaders of tueir party who, while howling calamity for votes, are damaging the state and putting a blight on its future, Wero 1t not for the false reports sent broadcast by the populist office scekers the counties of the Fifth congrossional district would | now be experiencing a hoom such as was never known in western Nebraska, Sensi ble farmers know this and will quietly vote for Mr. Aundrews when tho time comes At tho joint debate at Minaen lust Wednesday evening an even dozen men stood up in @ body and pulled off their Me- Keighan badges in the presence of a crowd and duclored their intention of supporting o young American, educated in American schools, imbued with American ideas in the matter of education, protection to American labor and & sound finauclal policy, instead of voting for KcKeighan the demagogue, who has no settled convictions. At tho Minden weeting many farmers were disgusted when McKeighan declarad be rep- resented the muscie aud brawn of tho Ne- braska workingmun and farmer. knowing as they did that he never was guiity of doing o day’s work cn the farm but instead allowed bis wife to raise and harvest the potatoes for the family whilo her busband lay around Red Cloud, drunk. Leading citizens of all the senatorial and legislative districts in the I'ifth congros- sional have been visited by I'nr. Bre corres pondent and with but two or three excep tions the same conditions obtain with refer- ence to the senatorial and legislative tickets, P’recinets in ceriain strong iudependent counties, which two years ago did not cast a single republican voté, or only two or three at most, now have republican clubs with twenty, fifty aad in one case in particular sixty memoers, Tiwo years ago, when John Powers was advertised to speak at towns in the Fifth district, farmers drove for thirty miles through dust and heat to hear him, bringing their families and dingers with them, Where is the enthusigsm now! Were it not for the joint debates the independent caudidatos would not ba heard as it is a notorious fact that they canuot get & crowd together, All this indicates something, Some of the strongest independent counties have been polisa and while many will not openly say where they stand, @ sufficient number” Lave doue 80 1o show a ropublican majority. The opinion is freely.expressed by democrats, re- publicaus and conservative independents that McKeighan's chance for re-election has gone glimmering.
