So great has been the stress of this criticism that they have instrneted several their number to draw up a tman which tho bors of the republican party will be informed of the motives which led them to negleet an opportunity to accomplish so much, Speak inge of this mi wdent leador, but not said this afternoon I don’t know just what the manifesto will | contain, Neither do I know the manner in | which the independent senators hope to exeuse themselves to their constituents: bu 1 do know that unless they tell the whole truth in regard to the matter I shall do them, and in @ manner as widely public as possible.” The speaker was William H. Dech. He charges the failure of the republican-inde pendent ¢ tion upon Senators Dysav and Stewart, with somewhat of veher in his manner, saying that they have proven false to the trust imposed in them by the people who eleeted them. Continuing, Mr. Dech said: [Special Telegram who quartet o of the criticism 0sto’ in mem nifesto an indeps mberof the senate, t for Work of Si There are naturally in every party a e tain number of little statesmen, These men are more for the littie, petty spoils of ofice | than they do for the interests of the people they represent. ‘They would sacrifice the hope of legislation for the benefit of the peo ple for the sake of capturing several clerk ships and the chairmen of several commit- tees. 1 would have favored an arvangement with the anti-monopoly republicans by which seventeen senators would have stood together on all matters of important legislation.

They can take the appointment of 1l the committees out of the b president of the senate. Seventeen mem bers of the senate, standing together, are all-powerful. Then, what was there in tne action of these petty statesmen in holding out for the mere sake of getting a few clerk ships or a few oftices? Their folly is inex- cusable and they will find that it is upon them, and not apon the ropublicans, that the responsibility for their d—d foolishness will result,” John 1L Powers Hopeful, John HL. Powers, who has been here all the weel quictly shielding his senatorial boom from the chiiling blizzard, expressed to Tue Bee repre ive this afternoon his hope that the vepublicans and independents could and would yet get togother. He is confident that something will oceur between this time and Tuesday afternoon that will place an ntirely different aspect upon the situation He suid today that the independents could have Lhoped for nothing from the demoe: even if the combination between them and the independents had been cousummated ; but he helived and still believes that the in- dependents could have acted with the four republicans, who for a timeheld out from the vepublican cancus, and thata combination would have been the result, to the advantage of both parties, The fact that the uestor of the independ ent party in Nebraska is still confident that some hope yet exists for great good to come out of the republican party is a pretty good Indication that & man looks at mattors dif ferently when he is o candidate for United States senntor than when he is simply cunning for governor. Mr. Powers believes that he might possibly be elected to the sen ate by acombination of republican and inde- pendent members, but oguizes the fact that he will not have the ghost of a show in a combination between independents.
