ALL OF ONE FEATHER. “f want to say something about the man- ner in which the issues raised by the people in the present campaign have been met.

Judge Hol- comb's speech was an earncst and effective presentation of the issue of the eampaign, and was punctuated throughout with frequent evidence of approbation. He sald in sub- stance: AT THE PARTING OF THE WAYS. ““This is the second time that I have had tho pleasure of appearing before an intelli- gent Omaha audience in this place, and 1 wish to express the hope that it I should ever appear here again [ may merit the hearty reception and greeting that [ have recolved on this occasion. I am proud of tho support 1 am receiving from the honest, intelligent and straightforward business men, in whatever calling they may be. This is a campaign in which the isgue is plain.

You must remember that at that time you are to de- termine the policy and course of the govern- ment in this state, and when you have done this there will be no appeal from your de clsion for at least two years to come. You should view the question honestly and fairly, and then decide according to your best coi- victions, ‘‘The convention of my party at Grand Island did me the honor to put my name at tho head of their ticket, and 1 wish to say to thase who have given me a good deal of free advertising within the past few days, who have maligned and vilified me, that there were twenty-four men in that conven- tlon who knew me like a book who Insisted, but through no wish of mine, that my name should go before that convention, and the telegates from the surrounding count es came forward as one man and said that I should acoept the nomination. “Later on another convention was held, and in' this very hall, by the democratic Barty of the state. There my name was brought forward as a suitable candidate to occupy the same place on their ticket which was given me in the convention of my own party. It was said by William J.

It is a good deal the same way with this alleged Business Men's assoclation. “If there is any one thing that will bring out all the Bunker Hill—that is an American citizon—it is to have a lot of men band them- selves together and try to dictate how they shall vote. The purity of the ballot box must be preserved. Undue influence must be kept in the rear, The people cannot afford to indorse-an issue of this kind.

RAILROAD DICTATION. “And now I want to say a few things in regard to the raflroads. 1 do not wish to be understood as saying that anything should be done which might injure these interests. They are entitled to protection just as eve other interest is entitled to protection. -But when they encroach on the liberties of the people the people have the right to have laws made for their own protection. Our constitu- tion says that the legislature shall pass laws to correct abuses and to prevent extortions and ofher injust practices on the part of any railroad or telegraph or telephone company business in the state. There is no desire to array the corporations against the people indicated in saying that the laws shall bo enforced and the rights of the people pro- tected. We ought to disabuse our minds o the impression that b se a person stands upon”a public rostrum and says he Is in favor of proper legislation on this subject he Is a demagogue or is advocating legislation that is unjust to anyone. It was not until the last leglslature that a law was ever placed on the statute books relating to this matter, although this question has been fought over in Nebraska for the past twenty- five years. Finally, a wise and just law was passed, one which promised relief to the people and at the same time protected the rights ~of the railroads in every particular. There was thrown around It every saleguard that wisdom and caution could suggest. It passed both houses of the legislature, and in spite of the enormous pressure that was brought 1o bear to induce the governor to veto it, he afixed his signature and it became a law. But we have been unabl§ to realize anything on it up to the present time, and now we see a struggle going on all over this state 10 uphold those who hold that this rate law is good and should be enforced, and that if it is declared void by the supréme court one should be passed that is good and the people given the relief they have wajted for so long. “Until this campaign I had fd idea of the enormous power that is wielded by the raii- roads of this state. I have met hundreds of men within the past few weeks who have told me that personally they were in favor of the principles which I represented, but tha they didn’t dare to say much about it. Is it not a serlous condition of affairs when there is a citizen of Nebraska who cannot come out openly and above board and declare what his political convictions are without losing his position? But I declare, and I say it boldly, that these conditions do exist ali over Nebraska today. We are now to determine whether the people by their sovereign right shall govern or whether & few shall have the power to dictate to the many. I leave this question with you. I only ask that when this election day arrives every citizen shall go {0 the polls and cast his ballot as he consci- entiously believes Is for the best interests of this fair state." At the close of Judge Holcomb's speech an impromptu reception was held in front of the platform, at which he was introdyced to sev- eral hundred people, Who congratulated him ness interests of ou 1o this, on his earnest stand for the principles which he advocated.

Me Al PRINCIPLES AS WELL AS MEN | Fine Points Tnvolved in the Mandamus Pro- oeedings at Lincoln, DECISION WILL BE RENDERED MONDAY Intorest- Passod Trinl of the Case Dev ig Features Never Upon by n Nebraska Court— Theories of Hoth Sides. ps Som Before LINCOLN, Oct. 27.—(Speclal)—The man- damus of Secretary Edgerton of the populist state central eommittee against the | of state concerning the present the state ballot, came up in the aster county district court this morning 20 betore Judges Hall and Tibbitts, sit- together. Attorney General Leese appeared for Secretary BEdgerton; United St District Attorney A. J. Sawyer for the straight democrats and State’s Attbrney Hastings for the secretary of state.. The ntention of General was that the esent form of the ballot, as sent out by the secretary of state, was complex, misleading and illegal because it prevented a basis of cpresentation being accurately estimated in | the future for ecither the Independent or | mocratic parties. Mr. Sawyer asked for a postponement until next Tuesday in order to prepare an art held that the near proach of election day made it imperatively necessary that earlier action be had upon | the case, and gave Mr. Sawyer until 3.0 | p. m. in which to answer. Mr. Sawyer an exception It was nearly § o'clock before Mr. Saw- yer appeared in court with his answer to the petition for mandamus, but as he had pre- viously on a postponement until Tuesday prepare the answer, this was unexpected expedition. The answer did not even admit that an [n- dependent convention had been held. This raised a new point, and another adjournment was had until 7 o'clock this evening to afford proof of the same. In granting another con- tinuance. the court was rather severe on the attitude of the defense in seeking to de- lay the case indefinitely. At 7 o'clock the court reconvened, and retary of State Allen went on the stand and testified ¢ cerning his action in making up the tic according to the certificates on file in h fice. Mr. Allen was followed by Secretary Kdgerton, relator in the case and secretary of the populist state central committe, with his evidence, which was mainly to show his authority for bringing this suit He was followed by General Leese, who swore to having made a demand on the sec- retary of state to distinguish on the ballot the two different parties who have nom- inated Judge Holcomb. Counsel for the re- lator then rested. MORE THAN MEN TO VOTE FOR. Mr. Sawyer had no other evidence to pro- duce than had been given by the secretary of state. Judges Hall and Tibbitts an- nounced that a similar case had been before this court one year ago. 1In the oplnion of Judge Hall thé district court of Lancaster county had no jurisdiction over the various county clerks of the state, to whom the sec- retary of state had sent samplo tickets. General Leese declared that the people of Nebraska should have a right to vote for principles as well as men. He said he de- sired to vote for Judge Holcomb as an inde- pgndent, and not as a democrat, or as a compound independent with democrat, as shown on the face of the ballot as prepared by the secretary of state. This Is the gist of the entire contention of the independents. They want the two parties nominating Judge Holcomb bracketed in two lines instead of being run in one line with a hyphen. Then the cross opposite the party would indicate the political complexion of the vote, The court did not hold that county clerks were prohibited from printing the ballots in brackets. It heldl that the certificate of the secretary of state; was merely matter of in- formation for their guidance. The court took the matter under advise- ment and will announce their decision Mon- day. SENATOR MANDERSON AT ALBIO! seeretary form of Lan, at 11 ting tes took Financial Systems of Great Commercial Nations Discussed at Length. ALBION, Neb., Oct. 27.—(Special.)—The opera house here was crowded to its utmost capacity last night with republicans, demo- crats and populists to hear Senator Mander- son. He spoke for two hours and a half, and was frequently applauded. His treatment of the financial question was dispassionate and thorough. The populists accorded him the praise of handling the questions involving their political doctrines in the falrest possible manner. He compared the countries that have free silver—that are on a silver basis— | with those on a gold basis, and the compari- | son showed very conclusively that the strenger and wealthier and more civilized na- tions are the latter; that if the United States ould occupy a place alongside of Burope instead of the weak and unstabje govern- mepts of Asia and South America it must ntain practically the financial system of the best financiers and adhere to the finan- claj systems which have brought wealth and natlonal greatness to England, Germany and Ffanée. The senator sald it was hardly nec- cs8ary for him to talk on the tariff, ob- serving that tariff tinkering was doing Its own talking In a way to be more convincing than any argument he could make. Yet he called attention to.the fact that the tariff reform of the Brice-Gorman bill was meeting with most enthusiastic endorsement in Eng- land, Where it was relighting thé fires in the forges and awakening industry, while in (his country it was putting out fires, reducing wages and putting industry to sleep. W. H. Michael closed the meeting by an appeal to the old soldiers to stand by the ticket, which, if successful, would send to the legislature men who will elect a Unitad States senator who will help to organize the senate in the Interest of thelr comrades and the widows of dead comrades; to work for the election of Meiklejohn, who will vote to organize the house so that justice and fair play will be meted out to the men who wore the blue and stop the outrages upon them.

A special train brought 200 people from Republican City and 300 from Alma. Large delegations from Beaver City, Stam- ford and Oxford dreve in. Orleans citi- zens and those from the surrounding coun- try turned out enmasse. The Orleans Col- lege band and Aeolian quartet furnished music for the occasion. Eight hundred people, seated and standing, were accom- modated in the spacious chapel. Dr. W. H. Bonwell was the first speaker. He de- voted a few minutes to the military regord of Mr. Howe as a rebuke to the charge McKeighan made on Howe when he spoke from the same platform here two weeks ago. The doctor spoke of General Sedg- wick's high tribute to Major Howe. Dr. Bonwell asked the question: *‘Who s Church Howe anyway?' The college stu- dents took up the cry, and the vast audience, falling into line as one man, answered “First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen Mr. Howe then addressed the audience.

Mr. Watson's name was received with chee but the applause for Majors was faint, He roasted Bryan and all demopops to a finish His addrers was one of sound republicanism and well received His remarks on coinage of silver th and the free and unlimited attracted considerable at- tention, He de red the doctrine was musty | with age and had been condemned in Bu- | rope before it had ever been discussed in the | United States. Wise men had condemned | the idea in this country in the past, and the speaker was convinced that it would agaln be exploded in monetary circles. | The intrinsic value of metal as a com- modity settled all questions of relative merit. Mr Webster could not see that other ques- tions cut any figure in the problem. He referred to thie experfences of other nations in this line, and contended that all gov= eriments doing business on a gold basis are infinitely superior o those confined to silver as a circulating medium. “Silver men are in the habit of saying that they arc bimetallists,” observed the speaker. “Is it not a self-evident proposi- tion that with the annual coinage of so much silver at so great a depreciated valua- tion, the same could not be exchanged for gold. The ownbrs of silver could not go to the United States treasury and exchange it for gold, for there is not sufficient goid to make the exchange. The moment that the exchange of gold for sflver cannot be made on account of the great difference in the equalities of -the two kinds of money, the silver being worth but 60 cents, while the gold is worth 100 cents, the owner of the gold dollar will refuge to exchange for the silver dollar. Gold would be at a premium, just as in the diys of the war, when we had a larger quantity of greenbacks than could ba exchanged for gold and gold w: a premium; it was hearded or drawn out of clreulation nd paper currency b:came the money of the day. Thus it would be with the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Gold would disappear, and silver would be the only monegiof the country. We would have but one kindcof metal money in use and that would be ailver." After referring: toithe enormous profit the mine owner wduld secure by the adoption of free coinage, Mr. Webster concluded by de- olaring that thie whole subject resolves itself into one general proposition: That the tree and unlimited coinage of silver is. a device to enrich, (e gine owner, and without any. corresponding henefit to the, remainder ot the people. v -, l-ndl(!n!m for City OfMces.

There were not less than 2,600 men in the audience, Mr. McKinley had a special word for the operatives from Gloversville. “When we prepared the tariff law of 1890," he said, “‘we put a tarlff on imported gloves, knowing that we would thereby secure for you steady employment at good wages. I now ask you whather tho tarlff did not accomplish Lis?"* A chorus of “‘Yes! Yes!” was the answer. At Amsterdam. over 3,000 expectant people groeted the governor. Mr. McKinley spoke from @ platform behind which was a lite- sized plcture of himself marked *McKinley Bill" accompanied by the mute announce ment, “This Bill brings prosperity to Anister dain.” At Schenectady not less than 4,000 people gathered about the platform of the car and listengd to McKinley's tariff talk. In closing ho said: “I see that Mr. Hill says that busi ness Is resuming in this country since the passage of the tarift law of 1894. Every man in this audienco knows whether business ha rosumed, and (f it has resumed, upon what conditions that resumption has taken place. If we have had any resumption, and I hope we have, I submit that resumption has been upon a lower plane, with lower conditions, with lower wages and lower prices for Ameri- can products. Is not that so?" Crles of ““Yes! Yes!" Colonel Fred Grant still remains with the party. Qovernor McKinley was escorted from the tralp upon his arrival here to the city hall, where a stand had been erccted and 3,000 people were walting to hear him. He spoke on the tariff issue and incidentally suggested a joint debate upon that question between Senators Hill and Murphy. ~The former had voted againat and the latter for the Wilson bill, Speaking from the platform of his car at Poughkeepsie, Governor McKinley repled to Vice President Stevenson, who spoke thore on Friday night. He insisted that the rev- enues arising from the McKinley tariffl law were sufficient to meet all the expenses of the government and pay all the pensions until the election of the new party candidates having a difterent policy to put into effect This caused a feeling of doubt and uncer- tainty among business men and a decrease in the volume of imports, involving a di- minution of the import duties. At Now- burg 4 hall hour's address was made from in ‘front of the court house to a large crowd. The next stop was at Weehawken, An- other special was provided on the Philadel- phia & Reading road, which maie a phe- nomenally fast run to Philadelphia. Upon his arrival in this city the governor went 1o the Stiatford hotel, wWhore he was called upen by uumbers of ‘distinguished republi in- cluding ex-Postmarter General John Wan- smaker. ~Governor McKinley addressed two nense audiences of workingmen in this city ftonight, and in addition deliversd an outdeor address to an overflow meeting. The first speech was del.vered at the Academy of Music, which contained within its walls more than 5,000 cheering admirers. After speak- ing nearly an hour the governor was hurried fo the Grand opera house, where has was greeted by almost as many people, Tnou- sapds who could not get inside the opera house congregated in the wide street on which the building faces and waited until Goy- ernor McKinley, after finishing his speech, came out on the veranda and addressed them in & few sentences. 1t was nearly 10 o'clock when the speech making was concluded, and the distingulshed visitor was driven direct to the Pennsylvania raliroad station, where he took the 10:25 train for Columbus. He will reach that city at 2:26 tomorrow afternoon, and after spending a few hours at home he will start for Olney, I1l., where he Is billed for a speech Monday morning.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The political events of the week in this stato have been stirr- ing, it not exciting. The keenest public in- terest has been aroused in the elections, not only because of the many issues that been introduced into the campatgn, but cause of the prominent politicians that in active service as the spokesmen of both parties. On both sides the utmost confl- | dence in the ultimate result is expressed, but far from allowing confidence to govern judg- ment, the leaders at the respective head quarters have left no stone unturned to better the interests of their party, and have been untiring in their efforts to swing all factions into line. Senator Hill has done lively campaigning in New York City and vicinity during the week. He had previously been dodging rap- idly throughout the state, and after a two 1ys' visit went back Into the iInterior. Others closely identified with the campaign have been unremitting in their energy. Gov- erior McKinley of Ohio ds at present on a tour through the state, while Governor Flower will begin his circuit Monday. Dur- ing the early part of the week many demo- tic conferences were held, it was said solely in the interest of harmony. Senator Faulkner came here from Washington with the avowed intention of uniting the contending factions if possible, the object of the controversy between the Grace and Tam- many democrats being the —congressional nominees In several districts. 8o far as indicated, the question of harmony was left to right itself, as no concessions were allowed on_either side. Senator Hill left here a few nights ago, however, having first expressed himself It was said at democratic headquarters, as perfectly satisfied with the course events were taking. The most important of the day's incidents was Colonel Strong's reception of the dis- trict leaders of the German-American Reform union at his beadquarters in the Sturdevant house this afternoon. | Detended Ropublican Princlplos.

The matter will not | be allowed to rest where it now stands, but government will cause a thorough in- vestigation to be made of the cases of the alloged Texas fever on which the German government has fit to act in such a | summary manner. » doubt is felt here that these alleged cases will turn out to be founded on a mistaken diagnosis, for It thero is any cattle disease that the German veterinarians know little about that disease is Texas fover, a purcly climatic non- infectious fever peculiar to America. That is the opinion of the Agricultural depart- ment experts who have studied the disease for years and are aware of the state of knowledge on the subject in Europe.

Also that the meat of cattl affected by this disense has never been shown to be dangerous to the consumer. This government inspeets all ments ex- ported "and certifies that the cattle were e from disease when slaughtered. A ous protest should therefore be en- agalnst the proposed action. CHARLES W. DABNEY, Acting Sccretary of Agriculture, This telegram states the position of the Agricultural department in a nutshell and the points made to the uncommunicativeness of the disease and the harmless character of the meat of the cattle suffering from the fever are substantiated by a great mass of uncontradicted expert testimony. Tt ia stated at the department to be ex- tremely improbable that any diseased cattle could have been shipped, for the reason that, all _exportations are absolutely prohibited from the zone In the southern section of the United States where the disease appears and the rigid Inspection system would prevent any such cattle from reaching New York or the eastern ports. It js admitted to be within the hounds of possibility that some catile cars With soil and water from Texas might have gotten into the northwest and thus caused one or two cases of fever, but this is said to be very improbable, ALL ANXIOUS TO SELL SUGAR.
