I will do everything that can be done to bring about a safe, economical and conservative administration of the affairs of our state government and see to it that the faith and credit of the state are maintained.—Judge EHolcomb. Judge Holcomb in a recent speech declared that the unholy influences which had brought about the nomina- tion of "I J. Majors would follow the republican nominee if elected to the office of governor and render him help- less in any effort to serve the best in- terests of the people of this state. Majors would, if elected, be s clay in the hands of corporation bosses, while the people would pay the freight.

To many of them the question will present itself: Can I afford to condone the record of a notoriously bad man and help to put him in the governor's chair? We ask these young voters to consider well the charges made against Thomas J, Ma- Jors, most of which are supported by the record proofs and are not to be brushed aside as mere newspaper cam- paign thunder. They attack the char- acter of a wan who aspires to the high- est office the people of Nebraska can bestow upon any man, and they have not been disproven, There is no law, moral or written, which can require a consclentions voter to ratify thie nomi mation of a party convention.

It is also conceded fliat the offensive manifesto has 1 1 gordsend to competing » al jobbing houses in other cities. he question mow s, what policy should Omaba jobbers pursue to undo the mischief? Tt must be manifest to vory intelligent merchant and man- agers of jobbing firms that the election of Majors, if such n thing was possible; wonld only intensify the feeling of hos- tility toward Omaha and widen the chasm bety Omalia jobbers and the retail merchants in the interior of the state. If Omaha werchants follow the dictates of the Burlington czar Tues and attempt to mass their votes ags Holeomb they will simply cut their throats. On the other hand, if th quietly accept the inevitable and give Holcomb a respectable majority in this county they will conciliate the country merchants and farmers and regain the ground they have lost within a short time. Quite apart from these considerations Omaha jobbers are vitally concerned in the election of Holcomb. Every jobber in the city, including those who have Deen favored with rebates, concedes that the maximum rate bill, as framed by the last legislature, will, whenever it is allowed to go into force, make Omuhi the most important distributing center west of Chicago. It is now almost ab- solutely certain that this bill will be thrown into the next legislature by the impending decision of Judge Brewer, by reason some technical defects, When these defects have been ren died by the legislature the bill will go to the governor for approval. Eyery- body in Nebraska knows that Majors would kill the bill by his veto if he oc- cupied the governor's chair, just as he would ‘kill every other bill which the Burlington czar would ask him to veto. Is it to the interest of Omaha jobbers and manufacturers that they shall con- tinue in a state of commercial vassalage to the Burlington or any other railrond? Would it not be to their interest to have the railroads subjected to reasomable regulations 8o that Omaha could com- pete with Chieago and St. Louis for trade? Would it not be much safer for the state and for Omaha to have for its chief executive a conservative, hone executive, who is free from all obliga- tions to corporate monopoly and. who would approve all laws as are In the interest of the shipper and producer. The Bee ventures to make these sug- gestions to the business men of Omaha because, in common with them, it will share Omaha's prosperity or suffer by her adversity. The Bee is firmly con vinced that the real interests of Omaha demand the election of Holcomb in order that this city may regain commer- cial supremacy in the territory tribu- ta to it, and this interest should be protected regardless of the wall from New England coupon-clippers and New ork stock-jobbers, — UNCLE SAM AND HIS DAUGHTER.

T charge has never been denied. It has been charged and neither de- nied nor explained that at the opening session of the last legislature the rail- road senators caucused in Tom Majors' room at the Capital hotel every night for nearly two weeks in an effort to pre- vent the anti-monopoly senators from capturing the organization of the senate. It has been cliarged but never denied that during all the time that the maxi- mum rate bill was pending Lieutenant Governor Majors by his arbitrary and unfair parlinmentary rulings did every- thing in his power to obstruct and finally defeat that measur It has Dbeen charged and never dis- proved that Tom Majors was a party to tlie attempt to defeat the Newberry bill four years ago by the abduction of Senator Taylo It has been repeatedly charged and never denied that Majors as lieutenant governor and presiding officer of the senate recognized the pair between Sen- ator Taylor and Senator Brown of Washington county, and then in the afternoon after.Taylor had been hur- vied away from the city deliberately denied that the absent senator had been excused, thereby precipitating - the seventy-five-hour deadlock, It is charged and admitted that Majors assisted Walt Seely in defrauding the state treasury out of $75 on the fraudu- lent Taylor voucher. It is charged, and no attempt is made at denial, that Majors is the candidate of the corporations and that if he is elected he 1s expected to and will veto any important legislation looking to the regulation and restraint of these cor- porations. REVIEW OF THE FIELD. The campaign throughout the country which closes today has very generally been fought with great vigor and earn- estness. As the situation now looks it seems certain that the paramount ques- tion of the political complexion of the next house of representatives will be decided in favor of the republicans. Republican gains ‘of congressmen in every northern state are confidently expected, and there appeurs to be no son to doubt that there will be gains in the south which will at least double the republican representation from that section, and may do better than that. The house of representatives contains 456 members, the majority being 179, In the present house the republicans have members, so that in order to obtain control of the next house they must hold the seats they now have and | make a gain of Assuming that there will be an Increase of six from the sixteen states constituting the solid south, the other twenty-elght states must furnish a republican gain of forty- six representatives in order to make n bare majority. That they will do bet- ter than this ought to be an entivel safe prediction, but it is apparent thers can be no very large republican major- ity in the next house of representatives. A safe working majority is all that can reasonably be expected, The state campaign to which the at- tention of the country has been most largely directed Is that of New York, because it is gemerally admitted that it of tomorrow's election in that will bave a most Important bear- g upon the national contest of two years heunce. It will bave to be con- ed that Senator Hill has made a| [ wonderful fight under the circumstances, OMAHA DAILY | made a Sty and while his defeat appears to be assured A prestige s a bold and ag- gressive legder cannot suffer muc thereby. i« ‘Phe republicans have also ng and earnest campaign, and havigg all the « litions favorable to them should elect Mr. Morton gov emor byvdfie of the largest ply ever given to'a candidate fo th state. The sftuation in New York City seems to“promise the defeat of Tam- many, but it swould not be safe to count upon this s assure at and all | pervading fike the resources of that or- | ganizatioh’ “In New York the situation s favorable for the ns, and that party will of course sweep Massa- chusetts, Pennsylyania and Ohio. Indiana is expected to show large republican gnins, and Ilinois, where the senato- rial fight is the paramount issue, will undoubtedly go republican. There has Dbeen some doubt about the result in Wisconsin, but the latest information warrants the bellef that a republican governor will be chosen in that state. The republicans of Minnesota are confi dent of victory. Towa will roll up a large republican plurality and may send a solid republican delegation to LTess, he indications are favor to the election of republican governors in Kansas and Colorado. Republican success in both of the Dakotas is looks most Interesting congre contest of the campaign is that in tl Second West Virginia distriet, where Mr. Wilson Is seeking re-election. He has made a splendid fight and demon- his Wt popularity, but the o8 are that he will be defeated by a small majority. Another interest- ing contest is that in the Twenty-first Ohio @ where Tom Johnson, a pronouncy trader and single tax ady earried on a most unique campaign. The probability is that Mr. Johnson will be retired. The result of the contests in the sugar districts of Louisiana will be regarded with no small degree of interest, and the ow look s for the clection of two, and pe: haps three, vepublican representatives. ol THROW NO VOT AWAY. vote cast for the Sturdevant straw ticket is a vote thrown aw 1t is a vote worse than thrown away. The | listory of that ticket shows that it was | a sham and a fraud from its very in- | ception. After the democratic state con- vention had alinost completed its work and had nominated Judge Holcomb as the regular democratic ecandidate for | governor about fifty delegates withdrow to the Paxton hotel, where, reinforced Buclid Martin and a few other rail- road demograts who had not the shadow of a claim to be delegates to any con- vention, they agreed informally upon a dummy ticket: To complete the impos- ture, papers were sent to Lincoln, to- gether with several false affidayits, carly the next morning and filed, as it were, | before breakfast, In order to eucher the | ular coyention nominees out of their places on the official ballot. Protests | fit olti re were immediately made against sucl | outrageous: proceedings, which finally ended in the réjection of the democratic rump ticket.” Deprived of vécognition as a_party convention, the rumps, aided and abetted by the Majors republicans, bestirred themselves to procure petitions for their ndidates, who were now masquerading under the designation “straight demoerats.” The fntent and purpose of this designation are to be- zuile the voter into believing that the names after which it oceurs th of the rominees of the democratic ' So palpable was the fraud that the district court for this judicial dis- trict issued an order Thursday com- pelling the county clerk to add the | words “by petition,” so that the designa- | tlon shall appear as “straight démocrat | by petition” on the official ballot for Douglas county. The Burlington rail- | road sent its own lawyers, retained on annual salaries, to oppose the order, as | if anything wore were needed to expose | the whole Sturdevant ticket as stool- pigeons for the Majors raflroad com- bine. The Sturdevant ticket will therefore catch no demoeratic votes that can by any possibility be turned to the tat- tooed republican candidate. It hopes lu‘ poll democratic votes of two classes. | Pirst, of those democrats whom its | lulent designation may deceive. | Second, of those democrats who are not | aware that it is a straw ticket In the in- terest of the republican candidate, As to the first it is esseutial that every dem- | ocrat be warned of the fraud which the rumps are attempting to practice. N one should permit himself to be misled by the lying designation. As to the sec ond, ignorance will be the only excuse for those who become voluntary victims of the cheat. There is but one candidate for governor who embodies the opposi- tion to railroad domination, boodlerism and state house corruption, That cand date is Silas A. Holcomb., Every vote withheld from him is a vote to perpetu- ate the relgn of oil room lobbyists and state treasury, looters. It is a vote to turn the state’ government over to the agents of the confederated monopolies, A vote for the Stardevant tic is throw- ing away a Yote that may be used to rebuke raifroadl arrogance nnd stamp- out corruption in public office, no votes away:.

" or Than Party Fealty, Wisner Chronicle (rep.). The principal arguments urged by Majors and his suppor is that he simply stands for his arty and the credit of the state, Not able to fac his record, he hides behind the party.

The fact is, in so far as T. J. AL of arty. ¥ represent any or > much as they represent all of the yration men of Nebraska, regardless of litical affiliations, ity of the voters of Nebraska would cast republican ballots next Tuesday if the party had nom ted a different man for goyernor, but who can find no exc for endorsing the record of Majors and p moting the interests of the corporations. It is folly to say that these voters are bound by party fealty to shut their eyes to his serious faults, obnoxious methods and indefensible record and regard him only as a figure- nead He stands for Maforsism and Hol- dregeism, a thing that has definite, practical and portentous meaning, and that has little or_nothing to do with party principles or policies. There 13 nothing sentimental about it touches the vital concerns of every en of the state. The voter owes a higher to his party name. Especially is this true when his party's great and glorious name has been stolen to serve his enemy under. Those who vote against the obnoxious can- didates upon their ticket are doing the party a greater service than they could do it by completing and ratifying at the polls the surrender of the party to the corrupt and corporate element which captured the convention. The question is: Do the rail- roads, the boodlers and the Mosher gang of brigands own the voters of the rank and file as they did the delegates to the conven- tion? If the result of the election demon- strates that they do, God cannot and will not save the republican party of Nehraska It would be a viclory that ean only lead to ultimate, certain and overwhelming de- feat.

They are confronted at every crossroad with the story of the forged census returns that scandalized the state at the national capital and placed a stigma upon the man whom the people of this common- wealth had honored with a place in the halls of congress as their representative. During two sessions of the legislature in which he occupled the responsible and ho orable position of presiding officer of t upper house by virtue of his election as fie tenant governor, Mr. Majors was notoriously a tool and capper for the corporation lobby, and exerted all his power and influence du ing each session of the legislature to mote jobbery and assist boodle schemes and obstruct, sidetrack and defeat all railway regulation bills and measures to curb the rapacity of corporate monopoly. SCANDALIZED THE STATE. During the session of 1801 the state was scandalized by the abduction of Senator Taylor, a populist, who had been elected on the anti-monopoly platform, which pledged him to support a maximum rate law. It is notorious that Taylor was on confidential terms with Licutenant Governor Majors, and especially with his private secretary, Walt M. Secly. There is no doubt whatever that Majors and Seely must have known of the plot to abduct Taylor in crder to keep him from casting his vote for the Newberry maximum rate bill. Taylor's abduction created such a sensation that even if Majors had not been advised about the plot he could not have been ignorant of the fact that Taylor had disap- peared. The fact that Majors directed the sergeant-at-arms to have Taylor arrested shows absolute knowledge on the part of Majors of the disappearance of Taylor. The records of the auditor's office show and mileage for the session up to the time of his abrupt departure in the middle of March. On March 31, when the sessfon closed, the following bill, certified to by T. J. Majors as president of the senate, was placed in the hands of the auditor and a warrant Deputy, QUL aan_ pro- | that Taylor had drawn $262.40 as his pay | ust, and has nod becn pak o o .

The warrant for $75 was cashed by Walt M. Seely, private secretary of the licutenant governor, and pocketed by him. Taylot never recelved a penny of this money fraudu- lently procured by the connivance of the Veutenant governor. | This act alone stamps Thomas J. Majors as | a dangerous man in any public office. When he certified that Taylor had served through | the entire term he knowingly and wittingly | committed a grave erime that laid him liable not only to impeachment, but to prosecution in the criminal courts, Had Majors certiffied to a fraudulent voucher in the army, or duplicated his own pay in the army pay roll, he would have | been court martialed and cashiered In dis- grace. Where the offense was as flagrant as the Taylor voucher fraud he would have been made to serve a sentence in a military prison.
