ROSEWATER ssessssses Extracts from a Letter by Senator W. W. Youny to One of His Constituents. SENATE CHAMBER, LINCOLN, Jan. 101 ~My Dear Sir 1 in receipt of your letter and note what you state therein, 1 regret very much that in ting my vote for United States senator it does not meet with your wishes and the approval of your frionds, 1 was more consclentious in my life and T would be doing violence to my own conscience if 1 did different than to vote for Mr, Rosewater, 1t i« hard to tell what the constituents in district want. Every duy 1 receive letters asking me to vote for Rosewater, and also letters asking me to vote for Meikleyohn, T have also recelved from my county numerous petitions extensively signed asking me to vote for Itosewater. There is no gquestion but what my own county is two to and perhaps three to one in favor of Rose er: although Meikle jolin, in said county, hag some s trong supporters, never my own The fact is, for thirty years Mr. Rosewater has bheen the champion of the people’s in He has been in favor of the against the classes. e ig not controlled by any corporation or railrond influence: his most bitter enemies admit that he is a man of great ability and would ereditably represent the state. There are none of them that charge him with ever having sold out his prineiples, or given aid to any one that was notoriously corrupt; he is not of the hoodle style, Ile has swposed corruption n our party wherever it was found, and because h has done this the people have accused him of trying to di the republican party srests, masses as ate and hoss For tifirty years he has advoeated republican haps done more for the development of this g fifty men in it, and yet in the past he has neve with any office of public trust. He has establish in the west, and built The Bee Building, which is a to his memory that will live centurles after he has died. You will re- member that lie has opposed a number of men in the republican party, bt subsequent events lave proven that in doing this he did what rights a number of these parties are now languishing in the peniten tiary and a number more would be there if they had their just deserts, You will remember we had what was known the “Credit Mobi Swindle” There was a bill rallvoaded through congress {o make the fivst mortgage of $50,000,000 due to the United Stutes from the Union Pacific railroad a second mortgage, aud thereafter no part of the principle and interest was ever paid. You remember only a few years ago, when it was thought the amount due the United States w lopelessly Jost, that there was an element in congress, inclufling people throughont the entir that were asking that this debt, which then amounted to over $60.000,000, be refunded for another period of ef years at G per cent. Mr. Rosewater fought thiis refunding act, and appeared betore the » committee and made an argument in favor of the immediate foreclosure of the mortgage. Subsequent have proven that he was again correct: for through his influence for closure procéedings were commenced and the United States has recoy- 1 every dollar of principal and interest and thus wiped out this great swindle. This act alone ought to make him United States senator, * 1 do not think if you understood the situation as I do aud were here upon the ground that you would ask me, under the circumstances, to give my vote for Mr. Meiklejohn. 1 have nothing againkt him person- ally, and have always felt kindly toward him, but I do not believe that all of the good things in the state of Nebraska were created for any one man, or that any one man was made to hold all of the good office For the past eighteen years he has been in public life, and he now has left his post of duty, for which he i3 being paid a salary at the ex- pense of the people of the United States, and is now working up his apaign here in Lincoln while absent from his post of duty, and drawing his sala If he was the only man in north Nebraska that had brains enough to represent us 1 would be in favor of him, but in view of the fact that there are many other great and good men who have never yet been rewarded for party fealty, 1 do not think it would be wise or just to take him out of the office he now oceuples and put him in another and by so doing say to the balance of the aspirants to this position that they are unworthy, although they have labored long in behalf of the party's interest. 1 very much want to do what the people of my part of the state ex- pect of me, but my own county, beiug so strong for Rosewater and receiving from all parts of the state letters asking me to stand by him, it is hard for me to determine what Is the real wishes of the people. 1 1y bel that the people of my part of the state want two corporation senators to represent them in congress, and want me to vote for men to represent classes against the mass Pre-cminently, the man who stands out above all others as champion of the people's interests and representing the masses as against the classes, is Bdward Rosewater.

Stanley in bis chambers in th building and for m solid hour ar- raigned the chief executive of the state for his failure to close the saloons of Kansas Then in turn she visited the offices of At- torney General Godard, County Attorney | Nichols and Sheriff Porter & Cook and de- | manded of each that they close the saloons When Mrs Nation entered Governor Stanley's office she was followed by a crowd of newspaper reporters and others By turns she administered to Governor | Stanley a tongue lashing for his fallure | to uphold the laws against liquor selling or begged him for aid to carry on her cru | sade. She put her questions with fierceness | | and answered them herself without giving | the governor time to utter a complete 'st ntence in his own defense. | Mrs. Nation accused Governor Stanley of | branding her as a lawbreaker and demanded | to know if he had a better method than | she of ridding the state of saloons. | “Do you think my method is right?" she asked, o0, 1 don’t replied the governor. “Well, governor, have you a better one?"" As the governor turned in his chair to | make answer every one Mstened fntently Knows of No Detter Method “No, 1 don't think I have,” he finally replied. Continuing, ho managed to edge in a few wo:ds more “What can I do? I am powerl The law does not allow me to do what I desire, The law gives me no privileges. What can I do?” “If necessary, call out the militia,” was Mrs. Natlon's prompt reply. Then this crusader began a philippic that caused Governor Stanley's anger to rise, and the crowd grouped about his desk to look on in wonder. “You can close every joint in Kansas if vou will, Governor Stanley,” she said with force. ou can do it If you want to, | but you won't. But you are a lawbreaker vourself it you don't. You took your oath of office to keep the coustitution. If you refuse my request you are mot only a law- breaker, but a perjurer.’” As Mrs. Nation proceeded she became | more vehement and her voice quivered. She rose from her chair and looked full in the face of Governor Stanley, and pointing her finger at him, called him “lawbreaker’ and “‘perjurer” without the least .show of fear. She repeated these wordd of accusation again and again. He tried to make reply, but she gave him no chance, the words of invective pouring from her with a rush that would not be stemmed. Mra. Natlon Orde~ea | s Leave, Finally, his temper gone, Governor Stan- | ley arose from his seat and shouted back “You cannot come here and talk this way to me. You cannot talk to me this way, I say. You are a woman, but I won't stand it. You will bave to leave it you cannot | do differently.” “I am a mother. I am a grandmother and | I represent the mothers of the state.” “You don't, you don't represemt them," almost shouted the governor. The words flew back and forth with such flerceness that it was impossible to dis- tinguish them. » The room was in an uproar. Then Mrs. Nation talked more calmly, ading with the governor to ald her, ou come with me and help smash sa- lcons,” she urged. And then she added: “If you won't help us, if you won't help ne. I'll go around and I'll smash, smash, mash, governor. The devil seems to have cinch on the men, but he hasa't a cinch l'on the natchets and rocks.” Finally the governor volunteered: You get the prosecuting attorneys of the different counties to put the joint | kecprs in jail and I'll use my power as governor to keep them in. I'll see that they are not pardoned.” This instantly transformed Mrs. Nation She fairly beamed with joy and thanking the governor, started for the office of Af- torney General Godard. The attorney gen- eral was engaged, but she forced her way |into his private office and introduced her subject with these words: Wants Murder Shops Closed., “We want you to close the: oints, these murder shops.” She demanded that he remove those offi- cials who neglected their duty in allowing | the saloons to run, and when he evaded | her direct questions and referred her to the county attorney, Mrs. Nation asked | “Mr. Attorney General, you ar ing are you? Now, don't dodge With a parting injunction to do what he had sworn to do on taking his oath, Mrs, Nation, followed by an army of people with a bodyguard of newspaper men, started for the county attorney's office “The governor and attorney general are dodging,” she said, “but there's no dodging my hatchet.’ She had lost her wraps and her veil dur- ing the raid on the state house, but she wasted o time looking for theni, | To County Attorne Nichols she re- | peated her demands, and finally said she wirhed to swear out a warrant for the sa |1oon keeper's wife who had attacked her | on Saturday night with a broomstick, With | a few words of warning, Mrs. Nation and | her train were agaln on thelr way, this | time headed for the office of Sherifl Cook. | The sheriff was soon in & rage, and at last boiling over with anger under her scorch ing attack, be broke away and rushed to ward a newspaper man in the crowd who | had peinted at him, seized the offender's collar and made 4 motion to strike him | Others interfered and *Cook, returning to Mrs. Nation's side, asked her to his pri | vate ofice to continue the argument alone The chiet of police was picked out for the next onslaught, but his office was found locked, and Mrs, Nation harangued a crow that had gathered In the street near the city hall |STEAMER HOLLAND WRECKED Breaks Amidships ot River Mans—Sixtee Are Drow not go- B o | n Board | | ROTTERDAM, Jan, 28,7 Holland, from London, wag wrecked at the | northern pler while entering Nieuwewater- weg, at the entrance of the river Maas, to- | day.

For months before the legislature convened in nresent my eandidacy for United 8tates senator had been before the people. During the national compalgn preceding the eleetion my political “op ponents and competitors sought to make capital against me by civeulat ing baseless storfes concerning an alleged defensive and offensive al lance between myself and DL E.

No sooner was this absurd fake exploded than the story was sturted that Thompson had Kindly interested himself in my behalf by contributing several thousand dollars to help me carry the republican primaries in Douglas county. When that roorback had died out it was given out far and wide that my political fortune was linked in with that of 1. 1. Thompson, The legislature has now been in session more than three weeks and those who were inclined to eredit the leged alliance have had ample proof that no foundation ever existed for it. At the outset of the session every effort was made to place me in a false light, Although I was the first senatorial candidate to move for a cancus agreement, I was singled out as the one who | ked the way to a caucus by making unfair and unreasonable demands, when in the same conditions are demanded by three or four other can- didates, and when, furthermore, the conditions proposed are simply sufeguards to prevent one successful candidate from dictating the f his colleague or from blocking altogether the nomination oud senator. was Is from the sale were to be used to promote my candi choice of a Coupled with these and other false alarms have come a succession of reports designed to rouse prejudice agninst me and to make the peo ple believe that my candidacy is hopeless. irst the public is told that 1 am very much worried, downeast and disheartened by threatened de fections in the Douglas delegation; that T am kept busy night and d trying to persuade my supporters from deserting. Next come stories gathered from confidential friends that I am casting about for some wan to whom I might turn over the members of the Douglas delegation, Tucidentally, it is also given out in the columns of papers that appear specially interested in my defeat that T am remaining now in the field only to make sure of the election of two friendly candidates who would pledge to recommend me for a cabinet position or a diplomatic appointment. All these stories are absolutely false. First and foremost, T am in the fight to stay, and my supporters bave never wa d in thefr loyalty, or even discussed the possibility of a second choice. Second, T am not a statesman out of 4 job. 1 would like to serve the people of Nebraska as their represertative in the senate, because 1 believe I could serve them creditably and efficlent] 1 need no pub. He employment and had assured President McKinley in December last that I am not an aspirant for any appointive position, either in the cabinet or diplomatic service, 1 have at no time since the contest opened entertained any serlous concern over the outcome; on the contrary, I have’never been more serene and confident of success. It Is an admitted fact that my sup- porters occupy the strongest position and everybody knows that m following is more compact and more devoted nwn that of any of my competitors. I look forward with confidence, because I know that 1 have the backing of the common people. 1 feel sure the republican majority in the legislature desires to carry out the will of the rank and file of the party, if they will only make themselves heard through the press and through individual appeals in person or by letter to their re- spective representatives. In other words, let every republican inter- eated in maintaining repyblican supremacy in Nebraska give public expression to his sentiments withont delay and the senatorial dendlock will soon be broken.

Currle Huiner Meiklejohn .. Morlay Martin tchards pnewater Sutherland ... Thompson, D, ompson, W. Du Val LINCOLN, Jan. 28.—(Special Telogram.) The Joint senatorial ballot today preseuted the usual wash day exhibit of absentees and pairs, reducing the total mumber of votes cast and also the size of the various in dividual columns. Only two changes com manded attention, that of Senator Currle to Kinkald, taking the name of VanDusen out of the list, and that of Senator VanBos kifk to Currfe, who is sald to have left Meltklejohn for good, or at least for the present. Mr. Rosewater's vote was the only one that suffered no diminuation on account of Monday absenteeism, his follow- ing standing strong and steadfast. In fact, it really grew, reathing seventeen as high mark, with Senator Baldrige absent. A peculiar example of repeating was dis closed on the roll call that sent a titter of amusement around the hall when Rep- resentative Coffee ahswered to the name of Calkins and then a mowment after voted again on his own name. The fusionists are exercising more license in throwlng their bouquets around among their friends, no one cnndidate commanding |‘,? entire vote of the fusion minority. It is developing that the opposition to Thompson is resting upon strong outside support that up to this time fiad been care- fully concealed. A slgnificant indication come to light in the departure from the Meiklejohn mansion of Framk Harrison, who had been installed as head of the Melkle- john literary bureau and mewspaper puft factory. Harrison says that he undertook his engagement with Meiklejohn on the distinct understanding that he was to do nothing to assist Thompson's aspirations, but discovered that Melklejohn and Thomp son were working band in hand. As a consequence ho has tramsferred the scene of his activity to an office on Twelfth street, used also as the headquarters for the Dally Caplital, the anti-Thompson sheet published here since the senatorfal con test opened, amd is bending his efforts 1o turn the wheels of an anti-Thompson liter ary and letter mill. Conflicting Caucus Propositions, The two caucus propositions still siand staring one another in the face, with no apparent earnest effort to get together The Thompsonites are racking their brains to invent excuses to justity by their refasal to agree to a double nomination and belic their claims of overpowering strength for their favorite by their reluctance to accept an offer that everyone concedes to be per- fectly fair and impartial to all. The chief objection they urge to the simultaneous nomination is that it is unusual, closing their eyes to the fact that the situation i« unusual that calls for the elction of two United States senators to places, for hoth of which a vigorous contest is being waged The talk of irresponsibles about getting all the signers of the 67-48 agreement to gether and undertaking to make a nomiua tion with a less number than is necessary to elect lu joint session i not taken serl ously by any one who has anything at stake About twenty-five of the slgners of the 67-48 call gath d tonight for the osten sible purpose of holding a senatorial caucus, but on account of the small attendanee the meeting was adjourned until tomorrow evening “Of course a lot of our men were en gaged with the varlous committees tonight otherwise we would have had a larger number present,” explained Senator “Dick' O'Nelll of the Lancaster county delegation, but, anyhow, we had about thirty mem- bers and tomorrow night we'll have half a hundred and then—well, then we'll begiu to do business hose who have been standing out agalust the single Lallot plan proposed in the call do not feel at all alarmed at the prospect, especially when they conslder imilar clalms have been made daily since the balloting began. They insfst that the refusal of nearly half of the sign-~ ers to attend the caucus 18 good cause for gratification on thefr part The attempt of the fusion forces to hold a caucus tonlght was a failure, only a few of the faithful showing up. There will be another attempt made tomorrow night and tomoryow the members are at 1therty to cast their senatorial votes for whoever they plea Not more than a dozen memb were present at caucus tonight Constitutionnl Revial Congiderable {hought the legislative leaders of constitutional revision end are promised in the platform the chief point of ai ms between specific ame proposed by the legislature and the tion of the whole matter to is being devotea to the questl Steps that state nee dments releg A constitutional by to republican and be e to convention.
