OMAHA, SINGLE CO PY FIVE CENTS. MAJORS FAIRLY ON THE RUN Tattooed Tom and His Oohorts Beeking Oover from the Coming Storm. CAUSE HCPELESSLY DOCMED TO DEFEAT Latest Estimates from His Headquarters Practically Admit This—Despleable Cam- Methods Desperately Puarsued ~Dale ard the Manifesto. The Majors forces are fairly on the run. They make a feeblo effort to keep up their courage, and although in the secret caucus | it is admitted that Majors Is defeated, the general mass of republicans throughout the state are deveived by the wild assertions of subsidized organs | and mer With the bravado of men for hopeless cause, these organs assert that hundreds of populists are every day deserting Holcomb, and that thousands of reports are coming in dally from all over Nebraska giving assurances of large majorities for the tattooed candi- date. Theso statements are all pure fabrica- tions. They are written by men who have 00 interest in the truth. As a last straw the state official who is acting in the capacity of editor-in-chief for the rallroad propaganda gives the whole snap away In the two columns of space bought from a local publisher. This liter- ary purveyor of sophistry claims that Majors Is gaining 1,000 votes a day; that he will come into Douglas county with 1,500 plur. ality, and that Omaha will give him an addi- | tional 500. The desperate condition of the Majors combination has been long recog- nized, but no one expected such a frank avowal of the actual condition of affairs And many are asking what estimate the state central committee Would have placed on the total vote a week ago if it required & gain of 1,000 votes a day to give Majors | a beggarly plurality of 2,000 on election day. | The causo must have been hopeless indeed | a week ago. As a matter of fact, it Is more hopeless today than it has ever been at any time in the campalgn. Majors is not gaining 1,000 votes a day. He was defeated more than a week ago, and Instead of gaining he has been losing steadily \ An incident occurred one afternoon this week which confirms the above estimate of the situation. G. W. Holdrege and a few friends met in an informal way in the par- lors of the Union club, and In the discussion | of the general situation it was admitted | among themselves that in the state outside of Douglas county the race between Majors and Holecomb was a standoff, and that if he won at all Majors must win by a plurality in Douglas county. Many incidents confirm this. In the Arst place the managers of the Majors campalgn have practically dropped their work in the outside counties. Their workers have been notified that all expenses must cease. What little money in the campalgn fund which has not already been squandered s to be reserved for use on election day, when the most unblushing frauds on tne ballot will be pttempted. FLOATING MALICIOUS FALSEHOODS. The campaign of mendacity and defamation which the Majors managers have conducted to so much disadvantage to their standard bearer Is about to culminate with a volley of rip-roaring roorbacks and gross libels from the jackass batterles and mud swivels. In the face of the approaching landslide the situation has become so desperate that every species of villainy and villification will be resorted to before the guns are spiked, and the battle-scarred ward heelers are mustered out of service. The new exploded ‘‘mort- gage shark” afdavits are to be followed by another series of scandalous canards, In fact, It Is an open secret that ome of the schemes actually proposed was to charge Judge Holcomb with being a horse thief and verify the charge with more cooked affidavits. That part of the program had to be aban- doned, as will be seen by the following: MANCHESTER, Ia., Oct. 30.—To the F tor of The Bee: A member of a very promi- nent law firm told me today that a f mall-sized, smooth-faced office and 'asked for a pri He then stated he was from was here to look up a little anclent history, He asked the lawyer if his firm did not years ago defend one Silas A. Holcomb for horse stealing. The Jawyer =aid he had no recollection cf such o case, The secret political service man felt sure it was 0. The lawyer was equally sure he had never defended any party of that name. The smooth-faced emissary then wired back to Omaha: “Am on the wrong scent.” Another capper has been City, Idaho, to procure manufactured affi- davits, which are to be sprung upon the state within the next forty-elght hours These affidavits, it is claimed, will attempt to show that Judge Holcomb is the owner of property in Boise City which Is being rented for lmmoral purposes. It Is sufi- clent to say that the canard will be e ploded as soon as it is perpetrated. These infamous efforts to counteract the black record of Tom Majors will hardly influence the intelligent voters of Nebraska, coming as they do within a few days before election. MAJORS AND A PASS STORY. In almost every campaign speech he made on the stump Majors has called God to witness that he has never touched one dollar of railroad money or that he has never been the tool of the railroads. While the evidence to the contrary is abundant, the railroads themselves have brought out new evi- dence to corroborate the fact. Two or threo days ago the organ of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley railroad at Fremont printed with a flourish of trumpets the numbers and descriptions of the annual passes held by Senator John Thomsen two years ago. Senator Thom- sen, who is a candidate for re-election on the democratic and people’s independent ticket, comes back at the Fremont organ in a letter in which he reveals some very significant inside history. He acknowledges that he did travel on an annual pass on the Elkhorn road. Shortly after his election he states | that he was called upon by L. D. Richards, who presented him with an annual pass, tell- ing him that he might find it convenfent. A few days after Richards had delivered tho pass Thomsen received a letter from a com- mittee of republicans asking him to come to Omaha and consult them in regard to or ganizing the senate. He did come to Omaha, | and golng to the design€ted room at jhe Paxton hotel found Tom Majors and a,nim ber of others there. The committee thus headed by Majors submitted to Thomson a plan for the organization of the senate on a basis that would effectually prevent the en- actment of any railroad legislation. Thomsen had pledged his constituency during the cam- paign that he would favor the enactment of & maximum rate law, and he declined to be- come a party to the conspiracy. A few days after he returned to Fremont he re- cefved a letter from General Manager Burt of the Elkhorn demanding the return of the annual pass. Thomsen failed to return the pasteboard as promptly as the exigencies of the case seemed to demand, and 8o Burt wrote & second letter Insisting on the return of the pass that had been presented by L. D. Richards without any solicitation on the part of the senator The intimidation and coerc'on of the rail- road employes continues, and every day men In the employ of the rallroad corporations teport Instances where thelr superiors | threaten them with dismissal if they dare to vote agalnst Tom Majors.

The men who have run that or ganization have not hesitated to distort facts and to misrepresent the men who were in duced to attach thelr names to the member- ship rolls. The following complaint of du- ‘plicity was handet in last evening from one of the signers of the manifesto OMAHA, Oct To the Editor of The Bee: My ‘name s made to appear in a circular “issued by the Business Men's As. soclation of Nebraska in a light that tainly never intended it should.

CORRESPONDENCE THAT CONVINCES The assertions scattered broadcast over the state to the effect that Nebraska would be financlally ruined by the election of Judge Holcomb are being discredited every day by the testimony of competent witnesses. The following correspondence sufficiently explains itself: ROOD & STIMMEL, RIAL BESTATE AND LOANS, SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 31, 1894, dward Rosewater, Editor I3ée Dear Sir—Being desirous of voting intelli- genily at the coming election and having doubls what effect the election of Mr. Hol- comb would have on_the finances of the state, I wrote H. 8. Shields, Kan: Kan, the following letter “OMAHA, Oct. 20, 1804, Kanvas, having a any effcct on the Has intercst bee more account? Do eastern people loan mq frecly on real estate? He had no fdea of my reason for asking these questions. I enclose his reply. Would say in this connection that Mr. Shields has en identified with Kansas for years.

If you care to use this you can Yours truly, PHIL STIMME Oct b, 3 preamble Has the fact t Bovernor, of t at had Etate? n that ey as KANSAS CITY, Kan Phil Stimmel, Omaha, Answering your question as to what effect the “populist administration has on the finances of Kansas, will say it certainl has had no damaging effect. Inte rates have not been advanced. They have in this county from § and 8 cent to 6 per cent; that Is to say, mort- s on farms in Wyandotte county that were given in 1888, 188§ and 1500 at from 8 to 0 per cent, the holders of such mort- gages are now offering to renew at 6 per cent, which can be proven by the records of this county. Eastern people loan just as freely on real estate as in any other state when the security is the same. I can prove by the offers to buy and the gales that have been made in the last three months that land is held and has been sold to eastern and nmorthern men in Wyandotte and Franklin counties at from $5 to $15 per acre higher than the e class of lands can be bought for in Jackson and O counties, Missouri, I mecrely select these four counties because I have made personal investigation for my own purpose and can prove my assertions by the records. One would think by some of the reports in the papers that the Kansas people were ready to glve away their property, but if ¥ou go cut and try to buy It you will soon be convinced of the contrary. There are thousands of acres of corn in Kaneas that can be sold for $25 per acre standing in the flelds. Land Is being rented at from §3.60 to 88 per acre, according to the distance from the cities, ' You will see by these figures that owners are receiving interest at the rate of 8 per cent on a valuation of from 310 to 880 per acre. Therefore it is foolish for demagogues to travel over the country and tell intelligent audiences that money cannot be borrowed on good real estate that Pays an annual revenue of § per cent. AlL this ta K about the opu’ st administia- tion being detrimental to Kansas is only the argument of demagosues to induce the ople” to vole them into office. I do not now for what purpose you have asked the guestion in your letier ‘of the 2)th inst., but T know you ‘are a republican, and, prob: ably like myself, getting tived of misstate. ments from’ th of your par Yours truly, H. 8.

Today he was unconscious for several hours. The day was warm and the sky cloudless. Early in the morn- Ing his majesty tried to read state dis- patches, but was too weak. During his violent fits of coughing particles of lung were brought away. The bulletin {ssued Tussday night was not published here until this morning. It caused a feeling of in- tense apprehension. Everybody coming from Livadia fs assaf vith ~ questions, | but nobody {s able to give much news, DOCTORS QUARREL SERIQUSL: Dr. Zaccharin is everywhere blamed for his wrong diagnosis and for allowing the dis- ease to go 80 far before taking his majesty to a warmer climat 1t is alleged that there has been a serious quarrel between Prof. Leyden and Dr. Zaccharin, the former reproaching his colleague with aggravating the czar's illness by his brutal frankness Dr. Zaccharin, it is said, retorted angrily and was only prevented from leaving Livadia by the interference of General Teherovin, who threatened to forcibly de- tain him. Profs. Wilschowski and Wyod- 20w have been summoned to Livadia from St. Petersburg, It is reported the prince and princess of Wales are coming to Livadia at the special request of the czar.

The ds- patch adds that his left lung Is seriously inflamed; that all hope has been abandoned and that the news of his death may be ex- pected at any moment. WHAT A CONSULTATION SHOWED. In connection with this alarming dispatch the following facts contained in last night's telegram from the St. Petersburg correspond- ent of the Times will be read w.th interest: It is stated that inflammation of the lungs has weakened the action of the heart, A private telegram from Yalta says the doc- tors In attendance on his majesty held an wnusually long consultation la:t night, hence the issuance of the bulletin was later than usual. The emperor was then conscious and able to converse with the doctors and his relatives. His majesty suffers herolcally and makes no complaint. Yesterday he tried to attend to state papers and letters, but was obl'ged to stop by fits of coughing which — lasted some hours. The coughing ~was accompanied by intense pain and blood appeared in the phlegm. The doctors were undecided at first as to whether the blood was from the throat or lungs. The coughing continued all night. The czar made no attempt to take to his bed, but remained fn his armchair. Dr. Zaccharin is of the opinfon that a portion of the clotted blood ot into the left lung and produced inflamma- tion. It is hoped now the clot may get ab- sorbed, otherwise his breathing will be seri- ously impeded. At the urgent request of the czarina the king and queen of Denmark started this morning for Livadia and will join the prince and princess of Wales enroute. WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Prince Cantacu- zene today received a cable from the Russian minister of foreign affairs as follows: “ST.

That night they sawed a bridge near that place, but owing to the short time in which they had to do the work it was not complete and the train passed over it safely. The following week the time was spent between Prentice and Rhinelander. On October 6 they were seen in Rhinelander, and there purchased some clothes. October 7 they sawed { iles and stringers of the high bridge near Teaffc unction and the westbound pas- senger train went down a twenty-five foot embankment. The train was running slow fo the wreck was not as complete the wreckers expected. The bazgage, smoking and day coaches and two sleepers were not broken and none of the passengers were hurt. On October 11 Sheriff Paytzer re- ceived a letter from the station agent at Irma to look out for two suspicious looking characters. That night the sheriff accom- panied a posse about a mile from the clty near Lakeview, and about 10 o'clock two men appeared.

Hazelton say: “'About dark we went to work for the pur- pose of wrecking a passenger traln so we could rob the express car. We expected the wreck would be much worse than it was We expected the cars would all be thrown from the track, smashed up, and the pa: sengers and train crew ell killed, so that we would have no ore to prevent us from accomplishing our purpose. We began work east of the center of the bridge. We cut all the stringers of the bridge, and two sets of them at the ende and then sawed the piles or posts upan wllio{n they rested. We 1so cut a brace. A local train passed over afely.. We sawed the outside post and the ther brace, tock the holts out.of the. fish plates, pulled the spikes next to the fish plates’ and moved the bolts from the fish plates at each end of the rail, “We Waited at the end of the bridge until the wettbound passenger train came and broke the bridge. We were on the south of the track at the east end of the bridge When the crash came. Then we walked westward to where the wreck was. We heard some one erying ‘Are you hurt™ The other ‘man answered ‘A little. Then wt heard some one crying out again. We did not want to hear more. A man was con Ing toward us and tiat scared me out.” We wilked away and went down pretty nenr the next town on the Chicago, Minneapol & St. Paul track, and went into a hay barn We remained there all day and then started for Merrill.” TRIAL OF TRA Confession of Worden, One of tne Accused, Introduced in Evidence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—The declaration ox William Grace that the state democratic or- ganization is supporting David B, Hill, and 18 not responsible for any Wheeler meetings, received with incredulity by many, who Still insist that that faction is in favor of Hil’s defeat, and rolling up as large a vote The udherents ex- press much gratification at the number and character of the Cooper Union meeting, and are confident that the democratic reform ticket will make a good showing on election day. Many anti-Hill democrats, it is gener- ally believed, will vote straight for Morton, taking the ground that a vote for Wheeler will be only half a vote against Hill, and that the Wheeler votes were intended to ald Morton anyway, The Hill men are as confident as ever, re- ferring with special satisfaction to the pere sonal canvass their candidate 1s making and to the enthusiasm with which he is being recelved by his supporters. Most of them, however, do not seck to conceal their disap- pointment or anger that his candidacy has not received open and active encouragement from the national administration.

Smaller odds are given on Strong against Grant, the proportions of the Tammany organization throughout the country making the supporters of the committee of seventy rather cautio about risking their money, however much they expect an anti-Tammany uprising. Aftairs at political headquarters were par- ticularly dull. So far as the democratie republican headquarters e con- cerned it was partly accounted for by the explanation that niany of “the managérs who live outside the eity had gone to thetr home districts, election "day belng so near, to “look after their fences” and to take part in local canvasses. The attention of those remaining were specially direoted to the mass meeting at Tammany Hall this vening and the republican mass meeting at Carnegie Music hall. At the democratic headquarters the man- agers sald that the canvass shows 66,000 majority for the democrats in 11,000 in Kings. They added the republican majority north of the Har- lem will not reach 40,000. Governor Flower ~—a most astute political observer—says 30, 000. This will give Senator Hill a clear majority of 45,000."" John Halloran was at the state democratic headquarters this afternoon with $20,000 to bet on the election of Strong and Goff, but although he remained there until after dark no one appeared to take up any of his offe which were §5,000 to $4,000 on Strong Goff each, and $10,000 even on the election of both, At the Grant headquarters it was given hat a delegation of fifteen colored vote ad called today to assure Mr. Grant that although they were as a rule fepublicans, they intended at the coming election to give thelr support to him because of the serviges he had rendered to them. At these head- auarters it was also announced today that Charles Robinson, one of the editors of Nor American Review, and a member of the stats democracy, had announced his Intention of supporting Mr. Grant as against Mr. Strong, because It was sald he did not consider the latter as outspoken against the A. P. A. Tammany held an enthuslastic meeting to- night. The wigwam was crowded to its ut- most capacity and everyone present ap- peared confident of the outcome. Overflow meetings were also held . HIL democrats are delighted at the nouncement that Speuker Crisp has canceled engagements in order to speak in this ety or Brooklyn. They are also much pleased by a letter for him from Chauncey M. Black, chairman of tho National League of Demo- cratic Clubs. The fact that Colonel Strong made brief speeches at a number of meet- ings in the down town east side district fs regarded with much favor by the practioal politicians who are allied with the Committe of Seventy, as they think it will have a £00d effect on a ciass of voters who wis| to see their candidate and know something of his personality. Senator Murphy passed much of the day at the democratic headquarters in conference with Chairman Hinckley and others. Rich- ard Croker was another visitor, Senator HLL spoke before an fmmense au- dienco of people at Amsterdam last night. Th> enthusiasm was remarkable, He spoke about on the lines he has taken eluce he began his campaign, but paid especlal at- tention to the tariff. He said in part; “This city is largely dependent upon its industrl and its prosperity. Your true interest lies not in temporary or fietitious prosperity, but in permanent and especial prosperity, A high protective tariff is not for your interest, because it is not for the interest of the whole country. A reasonable, fair and moderate tarift, one imposed for revenue and not for prohibition, 18 what will subserve the hest interests of everybody. The whole question of wages is this: " When six men are looking for work from one boss, wages are low, but when six bosses are looking for one man, wages are high, and that situation largely comprehends and explains the labor probe lem. You must recollect that great com- merclal panic of 1573, when industries sus= pended and fortunes were sunk, and yet all the while the country was enjoying the al- leged blessings of an exorbitant tariff under a republican administration. The great Cars negie labor strike at Pitisburg occurred in the very heart of republican Pennsylvania and the Industry which was the most largely protected. In the summer of 1888, while Mr, Harrison was president, the great Burlington strike occurred under a high protective tarif, and yet the high wages which workmen de manded were not forthcoming, Good wa do not follow the workingmen simply cause high tariffs are imposed “‘Of course HARRISON S+ EAKS FOR MORTON, Carnegle’s Hall Filled Rear the Ex-F NEW YORK, Oct. 31 son spoke at Carnegle hall this cvenin The meeting beld under the ausplces of the republican state central committe, to ratity the nomination of Morton and Saxton.
