Other men were standing on the same ground upon which Majors stood, and which grounds Majors claimed as the cause of the epeaker's hostility, and the latter proved, if proof were necaseary, that he was | the warmest friend of thoze men. | The record of Majors as conmtingent cor gressman was_disclosed and of the Congressional Record, containing report of the congressional committee, headed by Thomas B. Reed as chairman, and recom- mending Majors and his co-workers in the fraudulent alteration of the census returns to the criminal courts, were distributed from the stage, and the eagerness with which vot- ers called for them Indicated that 500 of them would have been called for had they been on hand.

The speaker defied any one to disprove these charges, or to show that Majors did not draw more mileage than he was entitled to, leaving out the consideration that he was riding on an annual pass. Mr. Rosewater showed to the men of mid- dle class how deeply they especially were interested onest government and such legislation as Tom would veto if he had a chance. The Omaha Dusiness Men's assocla- tion bugaboo of credit of state was minutely analyzed and it was shown what a reaction had already set in against the movers of the manifesto. He quoted a well | wn Omaha business man as saying that that 1l advised venture, the sending out of that scarecrow letter, had already caused to Omaha a loss of $1,000,000 worth of business, and If business men of all cities have re- sented insult as they have here, the state- ment is undoubtedly correct. It was shown that o diference in rates of Interest on Kansas and Nebraska loans existed today, but Hat 1t Majors’ work as legislator in present- ‘g a bill enabling repudiation of debts by countles, townships and village school dis- tricts were generally known, there would be a difference and it would be in favor of Kapsas. The practices in Majors' oil room in the last legislature were exposed. Tt was made mani- fest that Majors had no better soldier record while ho was in the field than many an other, and that alone would certainly not be sufficient cause. for him to lay claim for such -high office, The manipulations of cor- porations In th fon which nominated him were laid bare and the lesson taught by the Chicago convention of 1888, that the Iiberty-loving people were not bound to the nominee of a convention, was reviewed, “The recent discharge of the young man Smith from the bank at Omaha was related and other Intimidations were exposed. Such things as these and more can be expected If 4 halt is not called to the greed of corpora- tlons. In closing Mr. Rosewater appealed to the voters, ot as republicans, not as populists, not as democrats, but as ecitizens, to stop the hand that would rob them of thelr lib- erty and of the right to govern themsclves. Mr. Rosewater's address was interrupted by frequent and hearty applause, and from all appearances the audience was with the epeaker. If there were those In the audi- ence whose prejudiced minds could not be shaken by the array of facts and figures they were few. STEVENSON TALKS 1IN CHICAGO.

Secretary of State Allen and County Clerk Woods were examine on the stand in re- lation to matters concerning thelr respective action in forwarding certificates of nomina< tion and printed ballots t& the county clarks of the state. At the conclusion of the exam- ination of County Clerk Woods petitioners rested, and Judge Tibbets announced his in- tention of deciding the case at b o'clock p. m. The judge stated that the case was now perfectly famillar to him, and declined to hear ny further discussion of its merits, At b o'elock proceedings in Hall entered Judge Tibbets suspended a case on trial, and Judge the court room with the de- clsion in the mandamus case against the county clerk. Included in the decision was a lengthy review of the Australian ballot law of the state. The decision holds that the county clerk erred In not using a brace; that he ignored party organi- zation in 80 doing; that he had failed to comply with the law, and the court ordered him to print the bailots with braces opposite all names on the ticket where two conventions had nominated one candi- date, and to print the party designations on two separate lines. The court held that to print them otherwise would not agree with the nominating papers filed with the secretary of state. That portion of the pe- tition praying that the county clerk be com- pelled to print the ballots “P. D. Sturde- vant, democrat by petition,” and minus the word straight, was denied. 'The decision says that to grant this would be in conflict with @ nominating certificates as shown on their face, The state ballot law provides that all election tickets must agree with such certificates as filed with the secretary of state. At the conclusion of the decision counsel for the respondent, County Clerk Woods, asked for a supersedeas. This was emphatically denied by the ecourt, which stated further that the county clerk must Immediately comply with the order of the court, Attorney Field, of counsel for the respond- ent, then gave notice of appeal, and asked that a tranccript be also certified to the su- prems court. This will be taken to one of the Justices at the earliest possible moment, Meanwhile one set of ballots have been distributed to the clection judges, and Mr. Woods is now supposed to be engaged in preparing another. ENTHUSIASM FOR ALL BUT MAJORS, Repablican Party at Wisner Indicates the opular Drife. WISNER, Neb., Nov. 2.—(Special)—The large opera louse at this place was filled last evening with the largest and most en- thusiastic audience of ladies and gentlemen, representing all political parties, ever as- sembled in Wisner to Hsten to a political discussion. It was Congressman Melklejohn's meeting, and he may well feel complimented by the reception tendered him. His speech consisted of a strong presentation of the position taken Dby the republican party on the question of national bank currency and silver coinage, backed by a. ready array of figures. His hearers were especlally pleased With his portrayal of the manner in which the Wilson bill bas been born In the house and doctored and sugared in the senate. This portion of the speech was repeatedly ap- plauded. Mell €. Jay of Dakota City, candidate for representative for the Sixteenth district, was present and followed Congressman Meikle- fohn with an carnest and effective com- parison of the country's condition in 1832 and its present’ depression. He made a strong plea for the right of the laboring classes to have work and the means of prosperity, and for a return to the policy which would 'start up the American industries. Mr. Jay made a favorable impression and won many votes for himself. Both of the speakers wisely ro- fralned from any reference to the head of the state ticket or state issues. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the songs of the Stanton Campaign quartet, who was repeatedly encored and generously applauded. Aside from the defection in the ranks from Majors, R. E. Moore and Ruszell, which [s particularly strong in this section of the state, the republicans were never more en- thusiastic and confident and especially 50 with respect to the congressional and legislative portions of the ticket, MAJORS' MENACING METHODS, Bryan Declares that the Alleged Business Men's Assoclation is a Atlsnomer.

He sald that every man in Nebraska, no matter how poor or rich, was in the true sense & business man, and that the organization's sole purpose was to elect Tom Majors, He said thal some of the democrats accused him of disrupting the democratic party, but if he was gullty of such an act he had done what the republicans had failed to accomplish in thirty years’ hard fighting. In closing his remarks, Mr. Bryan urged all the voters to stand by Judge Holcomb and see that he is elected next Tuesday. He assured his audience that the election of Holeomb would be an honor to the state, &nd the elec. | tion of Majors would be a disgrace. | Dr. J. W.

This report is correct, as far as it goes, but sl It conveys in Some respects what is not the truth, inasmuch as readers will be led to infer thai Judge Kendall is pre- eminently the choice of the German eitizens of our county. This is erronious. Owing to lemency of the weather said meeting was not as well attended as it would have been otherwise. In particular were farmers prevented from attending, and I desire simply to state facts, when I say that while Judge Holcomb is dectdedly the favored candidate, even by intelligent and honest republicans, Judge Joseph W. Bdger- ton, the candidate of the populist party, has as many friends, it not more, among the Germans, than Judge Kendall, although Tudge Kendall received the endorsement of the ma- Jority of those present, at the meeting re- terred 1o, Judge Edgerton is a comparative ommer among us; but the judge has o friends fast, and the vote on November 6 next will show it The excellent speeches made by Mr. Rose water in Fremont and Omaha, translated and published in the “Nebraska Vorwarts,” have been, and are distributed freely among the German voters in Hall county, and the good results of this will be made manifest when the votes are counted after the polls have closed on election day.

TEKAMAH, Nehs Nov. 2.—(Special)—Hon C. J. Greene of @maha spoke at the court house last night, it being the first republican demonstration in Burt county this campaign, aside from the“Thurston rally at Lyons, and, though it wasta vainy night, a falr crowd turned out. Burt county is conceded the banner republican county for the number of votes polled and the party leaders point with a great deal of pride 1o this result as a reward | of constant and faithful work. During the present campalgn Mr. C. W. Conkling, chair- man of the county committee, has labored assiduously for the firing of a campaign gun, but in every attempt to get a speaker he was folled, and the arrangements whereby Mr. | Thurston appeared at Lyons, were made by | Senator Sutherland, Monday last was the date set for a prominent lawyer to speak at Deca- tur, and it was widely advertised and all preparations were made, Sunday night the speaker wired an fmportant case in court on the date set for the speaking would hinder his being present. This was the ond of endurance by the party counselors, and Mr. Conkling wrate to Chajrman Morrill a pofnted letter, to the effoct that a case of far greater importance was now on trial for hearing next Tuesday, In which all the people wero jurors, and that thoso in Burt county would help in making that jury. That in rendering a true and impartial verdict they wanted u review of the e y the learned counsel, and that an effort to convict all tha fnnocent in a frantic struggle to free the cne guilty would hardly meet the desired ends in this- baill- wick. It s the opinion in Tekamah and elsewhere that the commlttee has more interest In the head of the ticket than all the other nomi- ness, and Tekamah's workers have an equal interest in the legislative ticket, and other nominees on the state .and congressional ticket. Through the glaring neglect of the county this year tho party is In a disorgan- ized state, and but little more than half will support Majors, while many more will with- hold their support from the float legislative nominee The meeting last night will partially brook the swelling tide of unrest and populist bent. TOW'S FIGURES DWI LING. Poll of Lancaster County Very Unsatisfac- tory to the Lincoln Ring.

The assembly was in the nature of a conference preparatory to more Intimate collusion with that wing of the democratic party known as Euclid Martin straights.

From these precinct com- mitteemen’s bboks an estimate was com- plled claiming 'Lancaster county for Majors by 1,800 plurality, This announcement was met by considerablo dissatisfaction among the Majors workers, who have been claiming the county By all the way from 2,000 to 3500.

YORK, Neb., Nov. 2.—(Special)—The ac- tion which was brought by the republican party of the county to compel the county clerk to leave the name of Richard Dobson, candidate for state semator of the Twenty- fourth district off the ballot, was brought before Juige Wheeler yesterday. The re- publicans were represented by K. C. Power and the populists by Oharles A. Gilbert The republicans for cause of action clalmed that Dobson's certificate for nomination had not been filed in the specified time set out in the statutes, while the populists argued that it Was nct the Intent of the law and that it would not be right to disfranchise half of the voters of the county, through an error on the part of the chairman of the convention. After hearing the argument of both sides the judge decided that Dobson's name should appear on the ticket, although his certificate of momination had not been filed in the specified time. Judge Hastings of Geneva made the same decision In thls case in Geneva. REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE Howe, Bryan and Oldbam Join in Denounc- ing Gorporation Rule, CHEERED BY SEVERAL THOUSANDS Exposition Hall Crowded to the Doors by Men Who Will Yote for Holcomb Be- causo They Believe in Honest Gove ernment—The Tido Rising. The democracy that stands up for W. J. Bryan had things its own way last night. Exposition hall was crowded to the doors when Chairman C. J. Smyth called the meet- ing to order and named Hon. John D. Howe as the presiding officer. In accepting the position Mr. Howe said that he was breaking the record of twenty yoars, as it had been that length of coce. The time had arrived, added Mr Howe, when it was a question whether Wall stroet should or should not govern Nebras Ho had nothing to say against corporations and trusts so long as they did not abuse their powers, but when they did abuse the powers given them it was time to crush them as one would crush and egg shell. They said that laboring men should not form them- Ives into unions, but, notwithstan ding that, these same corporatfons would band to- gether and declare that the laboring men, 70,000,000 of them, were their meat. Paying his respects to the so-called Busi- neess Men's assoclation, Mr. Howe went through the list of subscribers, showing that a majority of them were bankers, and cor- poration agents, sprered on by the rallroads in an attempt to coerce and control the vote of Nebraska. The idea was to bring distrue- tion to the poor, and in doing 80, these men wero masquerading behind the Business Men's association. By the power of money these bankers had called in their money, strewed the country with business wrecks and brought S0rrow to the homes of their victims, and it was time to show tho bankers that they could not run the country. Two years ago the ruin that the banks sought to bring upon the peoplo was brought to their own doors and thousands of them went down, while even some in Omaha tottered and shook. It was a well known fact, continued Mr. Howe, that the banks preferred to have dis- honest men in office in the state, county and city, for the reason that they could be han- dled and made to pull the string. THE CALL OF THE CZAR. Looklng into the horoscope, Mr. Howe eald that he could see Czar Holdrege pulling the string, the other end of which was attached to a man in the Nebraska National bank. Czar Holdrege gave the string a pull and exclaimed, “Yatzey, Yatzey, come to time, or get off tho perch.” The man in the bank, tho epeaker said, got off the perch and started out to work for Tom Majors. Not only did he do this, but he discharged a young man in that bank who had manhood enough to say that he would vote for Judge Holcomb. (Cheers.) It was time for the péopla to declare themselves and decide whether they would vote for an honest man, Judgo Silas A. Holeomb—(cheers)—or a4 man whose reputation was as black as the devil, known as '‘Tattooed Tom.” “Whom do you want to represent you as governor of this state—(cries of Holcomb) —an honest man, an able man, or one who is the tool of railroads, corporations and Wall street? ‘One of these men is Judge Silas A. Hol- comb and the other Is Tom Majors, which will you take?” ““Holcomb, Holcomb,” cried the great audi- ence, which had beth worked up to the boiling point. A letter was read from Sen- afor Allen, In which he urged all voters to support the democratis nominees for the logislature, Then the audience broke loose again, cheering and orying, “Good for Allen” Mr. Howe pald s glowing tribute to all of the democratic candidates, declaring that they were all men who would keep in the middle of the road. BRYAN'S BUSINESS PROPOSITION, A number of the logislative candidates were introduced and pledged their support to W. J. Bryan for United States senator. This experience meeting having cloged, Mr, Bryan was presented, who said that he peared for the purpose of helping to organize o Business Men's association. The associa- tion, he said, was to be conducted upon gen- eral business principle: Ho thought that there wa no particular need to go into the state saving business, but the asso- ciation should be composed of men taking an interest in polities and who in- tended to vote their honest convictions next Tuesday. Parties shou!d adopt platforms for the reason that platforms governed the men elected, Touching upon the subject of convict made goods, Mr. Bryan said that he did not think that they should come in competition with free labor made goods, nor did he think that they should be allowed to be transported from ono state to another. He said that he be- licved in arbitration ‘and believed that that was the proper way to settle all differences between labor and capital. 1t this was done there would be no necessity for Increasing the standing army. In closing, Mr. Bryan urged the democrats to vote for Judge Holcomb, telling them that if they did so hiis election would be sure, the coifority belng purely a matter of indiffer- ence. In nominating Judge Holcomb fn the Omaha convention Mr. Bryan said that he did right and he was glad that ho took that step, notwithstanding the fact that it had made him many enemies in the ranks of the democracy of the state. OLDHAM ON THE “COYOTES." W. D. Oldham of Kearney closed up the speechmaking by saying that out in the western part of the state, when the demo- crats were going to vote' for the popullsts there would be a crowning victory for Judge Holcomb and all of the fusion ticket. Mr. Oldham knew Judge Holcomb as a neighbor and a business man and knew that he was as true as the needle to the pole, in striking contrast with the branded candidate of the Burlington road. Judge Holcomb was nominated to res- cue the state from the rings, railroads and corporations which had reigned supreme in the state house for more than twenty years Regarding the clrcular sent out by the so- called Business Men's association, Mr. Old- ham sald that out in the western part of the state it was regarded as a foreign invasion by 50,000 consumers, who had made ugly re- solves, which they proposed to carry out. The real inwardness of the Business Men's assoclation was merely the howl of a pack of coyotes, who would run around in a circle, making an unearthly noise, doing but Hitle harm. Carcless Regiatrars. Numerous complaints have been made on account of the carelessness with which some of the registrars have conducted the busi- ness of thelr position. Several Instances liave been discovered where the registrars have neglected to sign their returns at the close of the day's registration, and similar negligence in other respects is alleged in several of the districts, According to Assistant City Attorney Cor- nish this Is liable to result in a heap of trouble for some of the careless officials, As a rule these technicalities are over- looked, but in the event of a close election and contests in any district all these de- linquencies will be brought before the courts and the registrars will be apt to find them- selves In jall. The law prescribes heavy penalties for such shortcomings, and in the event of a contest the negligent registrars will have to stand the penalty. The mis- takes, as a rule, are not serious enough to deprive any citizen of his right to vote, but they are enough to make the registrar liable to fine and imprisonment CEDAR.

CARLISLE CORRECTS FRYE, Says the Senator Misrepresentod His Fosl- t1oh In A Kecent Npeech WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—Secretary Carlisle today wrote the following Important lettc bearing on the political and financlal situ- ation Mr Boston, Mass.: Dear Sir—Your telegram inquiring whether or not certain statements made by Senator Frye cent_speeches are correct was recelved ft oon, and 1 embrace the very ear- prortunity to repl As 1 understand th that senator In an Int few published about a ear ago and very recently In speeches delivered at Wilmington, Del., and at Mal- len, M they are substantially as fol- irst, that the amendment offered by Senator'Sherman to the sundry civil appro- priation bill in February, 189, contained “a provision that all our money must be kept at a parity with gold," or, as stated In the Wilmington specch, “for the redemption of 1l money in gold. Second, that 1 approved this amendment when it was under consideration In the sen. ate committee on finance, but afterwards | caused its defeat In the holse of representa tives, by sending a telegram and writing a Ietier in opposition o it. Third, that ‘“a fortnight after that T gave an interview in which d sald; “We will b obliged to redeem our money in silver,” and that this alleged declarntion brought on a panic and caused millions 1 millions of gold to be exported Chere is scarcely the semblance of truth in any of these statements, except the one that T personally appeared before the senate on finance when the Sherman was under consideration and ommended its adoption, and it Senator rye had added that I continued to approve it and still approve it, he would have told the whole truth upon that subject. If the Sherman amendment had been in- corporated into the appropriation bill it would have been a later law than the act of July 14, 18%0, and a serious question would have arisen whether it did not so limit the use of the bonds authorized by it as to pro- hibit the redemption in gold of any oblig tions except that of old United States not But however this might have been, amendment left the original bond_provision of the redemption act in full force and merely conferred additional .authority to issue shorter bonds bearing a lower rate of interest. I was heartily in favor of it and so informed the committee on finance and all others who consulted me on the subject. Referring to the threat to defeat the sundry clvil appropriation bill in the house, if tho Sherman amendment was insisted upon, the secretary says: It was evident to the fijends of the amend- ment in the house that the passage of the bill could and would be defeated and an extra session of congress rendered nbcessary unless they abandoned the amendment. I was absent from the city at the time, but a number of telegrams were sent to me by those supporting the amendment, and stat- ing that under the circumstances it would not only be useless to press it further, but that a course would probably prévent the se of other important meusures, Before responding to any of these telegrams, L carcfully examined the provisions of th resumption act and other statutes relating to financial matters, 3.1 came to the con- clusion that complete ‘authority already ex- Isted to fssue and sell bonds and to use the proceeds for redemption purposes, and thereupon T sent a telegram to a member of the committee on appropriations, &tating that I did not consider the amendment sufficient importance to justify a contest which might re in the defeat of that bill and other necessary legislation, Therc was nothing in my telegran indicating dis- approval of the amendment, and I never wrote a letter, as asserted by Mr, Frye, to anybody on the subject. In regard 1o the third statement of ator Frye, 1 feally that T Phineas Plerce, atements made by a Sen- desire to say most emphat- never gave out such an in- w at any time or place. 'hese two “statements were n, and do mean, in fact, ame thing, as evidence of my determina. tion to redeem all United States notes and treasury notes of 1800 in gold, 1 have only to refer to the facts, which are well known, that on the same mornig the statement Was published gold was belng promptly paid to all who demanded It, although the re- serve had fallen below $100,000,000, and. that this practice has been continued without interruption ever since, On the 7th day of March, 1583, when I be- came secretary of the treasury, the gold Teserve was §100,957,000, but it was afier- wards increased (o $108,000,000 by exchanses of notes for gold, notwithstanding the fact that large sums’were being weekly withe drawn for export. The records of the de. partment show that during the five months preceding the date of my qualification cretary, the withdrawals of gold from e treasury for export amounted to §. 015,000, and that during the first five months after I took charge of the office the wiihe drawals for export amounted to $30,620,000 In view of thesc facts, It is diffcult to find and justification for Senator Frye's stato. ment that anything said or done by me, officially or otherwise, caused the exporty tion of gold from this country.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Senator Faulk- ner, chairman of the democratic congres- slonal campaign committee, today made a statement with reference to his recent call upon the president, at which the political situation was talked over. “As chairman of the congressional com- mittee, I called upon the president. During the interview I conveyed to him all the in- formation I had in reference to the congres- sional contest throughout the country, and the prospects of the democratic party in the varlous states. Our conversation w as con- fiaed to the outlook in pending congressional elections, and I found the president, as always, in previous conversations inyoly- ing the interests of the democratic party manifesting the deepest concern in the fn. formation I communicated to him and fin the hopes I cxpressed for our success in CROWDED T0 HEAR RARRISON Dopot at Albany a Dense Mass of Eathusie astio Humanity, DEMOCRATS ARE NOT GOOD MANAGERS During Thelr Long Absence from Power the Government Had Grown Too Large for Thelr Capacity-Spoke a Good Word for Morton, ALBANY, N.

Even the approach of an engine did not seem to mako the vast assemblage move, and when the train bearing ex-Presi- dent Harrison rolled into the depot yard at 4:30 the engineer had to stop several times in order to avold running some of the crowd down. Such a scene 18 never been wit- nessed in Albany before. Not only was the platform and yards crowded with people, but tho roofs of the sheds were black with peo- ple, and when the train stopped men and boys climbed on top of the roofs of the cars, Ex- President Harrison was applauded and cheered when he stepped out upon the plate form, and it was some minutes before he could speak. His words were only heard by the people within a radius of fifty feet, the vast crowd outsido that circle being disap- pointed. He touched briefly upon local sues and then eulogized ex-Vice President Morton. He then referred to the hard times and sald: “‘Tho democrats have proved themselves not good managers of the people’s affairs and are afraid to face the peo) but the people are fixing that up all right, they are turning their backs to tha democratic party. Tho democratic party s not experienced enough to manage the nation’s affairs. They were out of control of the government since 1861 and since they were called upon to control It, it was as if Christopher Columbus were called to command a trans-Atlantio steamer. “‘While the democratic administration has been putting itselt into control, the poople have been perishing with the hard times.' In conclusion ex-President Harrison said “I leave this message: Every man, coms mitteeman or citizen, should do something to make the result so emphatic that these tinkerings of the democrats will be stopped once and forever.'” Great cheers greeted the conclusion of the speech, and after bowing to the crowd Gen- eral Harrison returned to his car.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—In view of the re- ports yesterday regarding the attitude of the Straus family, interest was exclted this even- Ing by a letter sent to ex-Mayor Grant by Isador Straus in regard to the attitude of his brother, Nathan Straus, on Mr. Grant's candidacy, in which Nathan Straus is quoted as expressing a deep Interest in the success of the present Tammany candidate for mayor. Another letter, which may have considerable effect upon the Hebrew vote, was one from prominent Israclites defending Colonel Strong from the charge that he has aided in the exclusion of a member of the Seligman fam- ily from the Union League club. A letter from Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner attacking Colonel Strong for his course as a member of a committeo of the New York Insurance company, and the charges and counter-charges respecting the use of Mr. Morton's namé as an officer of the Excise Reform association were among the other topics of conversation among politicians. At the state democracy headquarters to- night it was announced that thirty-four mem- bers of tho Tammany hall organization in the Twenty-seventh assembly district had re signed from that body and joined the state democracy. Betting on state and city results continues to favor Morton and Strong. On the Stock exchange $5,000 to $3,000 was wagered to- day that Strong would be elected mayor, and as much more was offered without finding takers. One bet of $1,000 to $400 was made on Morton for governor, which is an increase of odds as they have heretofors been con- ceded by the backers of the republican nomi- nee. Brothers In the HOWARD LIK TO REMAIN, Indications that Mortons Coachman Will Not Be Sent Bucl. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—There were thres absentees from today's cabinet. Secretary Gresham and Postmaster General Blssell were confined to their homes by severo colds and Smith belng self-quarantived. The death of the czar was a subject of con- versation. The case of John J. Howard, Mr. Morton’s coachman, was not discussed at the meeting. No final and definite con- clusion has yet been reached by Secretary Carlisle, but the indications are that a d cision will bo announced tomorrow. The probabilities are the decision will make a new precedent for the Treasury department, which heretofore has held that an employe of Howard's class in order to come within the exceptions of the alien contract labor law must accompany their employes to the United States. The Treasury department and ISecretary Carlisle would have ‘wel- comed a trial of the case in tho courts on its merits, but as Judge Lacombe's decision rendered this Impossible the secretary, it {s thought here, will be inclined now to maintaining a democratic majority in the Fifty-fourth congress. lo impressed me in that interview as having the same earnest and sincere interest In the results of the election which have always characterized his utterances In the interest of democratic principles whero they were on trial before the people of this coun- try, He clearly indicated he was satisfied with the direction glven the campaign by the congresstonal committee, in earnestly and intelligently bringing before the voters the results of democratic action in the en- deavor of congress to redeem democratic pledges. Of course, the tarift law as passed is not In accordance with his views of the pledges of the party in its declaration at Chicago. But, as he has already stated, what has been done ‘will certaluly lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon the people, and he seemed to fully approve the course of the committes in drawing the contrast between the onerous make a new precedent and to permit Howard to remain In the country. and burdensome actions of the McKinley bill and the reductions made by the existing laws; approving fully the presentation by the committee as shown in its camipalgn book, as well as its other lterature, the differenco in the condition of the treasury under his former administration and that of his successor, Mr. Harrison, and the de- plorable condition of the treasury when turned over to him by his predecessor. “You can rest assured, I express my honest judgment when I say that from my conversation with the president, no man takes a deeper interest in the success of the democratic party In the present -cam palgn and In the anxiety of the committee to return a majority to the Fifty-fourth con- gresa than President Cleveland,"” e The thrifty farmer's wife knows the value of Dr. Price’s Baking powder.
