The Nebraskan (to himself)—If I could get a gait on like that } fellow I might make McKinley hump. | Spesches were delivered by BSenator Hanna, J. K. Cubbison of Kansas and Henry D. Estabrooke of Chicago. Senator Hanna was very late in reach- ing the Coliseum, meeting at Aurora earlier in the evening. When Senator Hanna made his appear- ance he was given a tremendous ovation, the entire assemblage rising and cheering him for several moments. He said in m‘;rupmry in this country is a normal condition and it ie only Interfered with when clouds arise on the horizon which frighten capital and drive it from the chennels of trade into hiding places and capital withdrawn from its usefulness brings idlencss and poverty with it. No businese man will risk his capital in any venture if those clouds arfse, and that will be the condition just as soon as there is any chenge in the present administra- tion. Mr. Bryan has descended to the lowest plane of demagogy when he at- tempte to array employer against em- ploye, lubor against capital. It 18 & SIg- mificant fact to me; it means sure defeal; ] — - | because nothing but desperation or dem- | agogy would drive a man who aspires | to the highest office in this country to such arguments.

UTICA, N.

Mr. Bryan has had ad- herents who have gone about this State repeating slanderous falsehoods. which they knew to be slanderous falsehoods when they made them, that our army in | the Philippines was an army of murderers and ravishers: that it had been doing foul wrong there. Mr. Bryan has said that the purpose of creating the present army was to put it in force near our great citles to overawe the workingman. I should laugh at t statement if my blood did not ourn - with indignation that any man 11d make it et be a candidate for ghest office in the gift of the Ameri- | people.

For the last three years the army has been a terror to the Span- fards, the Aguinaldoan Malays, the Chi- i nese Boxers, and in this country only the sympathizers with those classes have had cause to feel uneasy about it.” 4 gz | NINETEEN SPEECHES BY BRYAN | Decided Scarcity of Enthusiasm En- countered in Delaware. WILMINGTON, Del.,, Oct. 24—Willlam J. Bryan made two speeches of some | length in this city to-night after having | made seventeen other addresses during | | the day. Beginning at St. Michaels, on | | the Eastern Shore of Maryland, he spoke | in succession at Easton, Preston, Mur- | lock, Vienna, Salisbury, Berlin, all of | which places are in Maryland, and at | Frankford, Georgetown, Milford, Harring- | ton, Dover, Clayton, Middlestown, Kirk- | wood and Newcastle, in Delaware. | The audlerces of the day were as a rule | tair sized and a majority of them were | thoroughly appreciative. At a few of the stopping places in Delaware there was ap- parently lack of enthusiasm. In his tour of Delaware he was accompanied by a delegation of Democratic leaders, includ- ing United States Senator Kenny, Gover- nor Tunnell, P. J. Ford, Democratic can- didate for Governor; A. M, Daly, Demo- cratic candidate for Congress, and Wil- lard Saulsbury, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Committee.- The first meeting in Delaware proved a' disappointment, Only a few peopls were congregated at the raflroad station at Frankford when Mr, Bryan's train pulled into that place, and while these whe were there listened with attention te what he | | 1 i [} | [ | |1 | [ { i | “ i 3 1| owms‘—’o" WORL! Record B | | | i 11 1 1 1 i rd to say there were no cheers. The speech was brief and dealt with the gen- | eral issues of the campaign. At Georgetown ‘the meeting was held 4n | the public square, acress the street fr'vml in the Court stood a con: the r of whtca - paintcd post. which, | under the laws of Delaware, Is used as n‘ whipping post. At that point Mr. Bryan | spoke for about forty minutes, giving his | spectal attention to the interests of the | farmers, of whom the audience was large- | Iy composed. In the beginning the audi- | ence appeared quite cold, but it afterward warmed up considerably and the applause | was both frequent and general toward | the close of the speech. Beginning his Speech at Georgetown, Mr. Bryan said: “The voter In Delaware this year has a responsibility that seldom comes to a vot- er in any country, for this year we have issues at stake more important than any | which the people have passed judgment | upon in a generation, and added to that resporsibility, borne in common with the people of this nation. in Delaware vou | have this other responsibility, that here | you elect two Serators, and those Sena- tors may determine the political complex- fon of the United States Senate.” Addressing himself to the agricultural | community, Mr. Bryan said that if the farmers could arrange some way so that | a Republican farmer was not the vietim | of a trust, them the Republican farmer might be indifferent to the sufferings of | his Democratic neighbor: | “But.” he comtinued, “if vou think Republican farmer can escape justice, you try It. Let some Republican farmer go into the store to buy sugar and, when they want to charge him more, just let him tell the merchant that he is a Re- publican; that he is the best friend of the trust; that the trust could not live but for | him, and then see if he does not have to pay an Increased price. The merchant will tell him that the trust is like the Lord in the one respect that it is no respecter of persons and a Republican has to pay just like anybody else.” Mr. Bryan at Milford spoke at length of the trusts and took strong grounds in support of an income tax. declaring that such a tax was more just than a levy upon land. The tax upon land alone must be paid whether the land produces or not.”" Discussing the Philippine question, Mr. Bryan referred to the flag of the United States, saying: “You Republicans want people to bow before the flag: 1 want people to turn thelr faces toward it and thank God that there s one flag on which there is no blood.” ‘ MAY PUBLISH INSTRUCTIONS. Senator Jones Will Not Find in Them Any Campaign Material. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24—Senator Jones demands that the President make public the instructions given to the Paris peace commission may be arranged to his satis- faction. So far as the officials here know the President has no objection to the pub- lcation of thecorrespondence, and it i3 likely that Mr. McKinley and Secretary Hay will consult on this point. A high official familiar with the character of the instructions made this statement to-day: “The President has never made an ex- ecutive message of the instructions, but he caused them to be sent complete tc the Senate Commlittee on Foreign Rela- tlone at the time of the discussion of the treaty and they were read in the Senate during an executive session. There is nothing in them that imposes secrecy at this time and they certainly contain noth- ing that can be used by Democrats as ammunition against the President. “Senator Jones heard the instructions read and he knows exactly what facts they presented and the action they re- quired the peace commission to take. He thinks, perhaps, he can find sometning In them to show that the President promised independence to the Filiplnos. This, of course, is not true. No such promise wus ever made and the Instructions have no intimation of this character.” : b —_—— Fugitive Transvaalers.

ANITA BALDWIN, yvoung- | est daughter of “Lucky’ Bflld—: M win and recently divorced frnm! her husband, George W. Bald- | win, slipped quietly out of town vith Hull McClaughry, a prominent young | attorney of this city, last Sunday, and is | now his wife. % | While the affair had been in contempla- | | tion for some time, the arrangements for the wedding were made with the greatest secrecy and every effort has been made | to keep it from the gossiping public. The | news of the marriage will therefore come | as a great surprise to the friends of both of the contracting parties, as only a few | of their closest intimates were given the tip. With the utmost secreey Hu!l Me- Claughry and the winsome divorcee boarded a train on Sunday en route not to Reno but to an obscure logging camp or any old place just over the State line where a marriage could be solemnized without coming within the ken of the in- | quisitive newspaper reporter or the talka- tive public. Mr. and Mrs. McClaughry were expected | home last night. The groom has much political business on hand and Mrs. Mc- Claughry is anxious to get started in housekeeping as previously planned. The young couple had been engaged for nearly a yvear, but an obstacle, to wit, one husband, prevented an earlier con- summation of the marriage. Mrs. Me- | Claughry had first to' sever the legal tles | which bound her to George W. Baldwin. | While she claimed that on account of her | husband’s continued desertion for the past two years a divorce could be easily ob- tained, it required the greatest skill and cunning on the part of her attorney lover | to keep the fact that she had asked for | such a decree from the world in general. | At last, however, by an overapxious ef- fort on the part of the clerk of the court to help McClaughry keep the affair quiet the secret was told. But even then no one suspected that the fair Anita’s object in being released from the one bond was to pave the way for the tying of another. Feared Her Father’s Wrath. Friends ' who know something of the af- fairs of the Baldwin family say that Anita feared her father’s wrath more than public opinfon and that it was for that reason her desire for secrecy was so great. % It was during the last State campalgn that Anita first learned to love Hull Mec- Claughry. Rumor has it that she became acquainted with him through one of his chums to whom she was about to en- gage herself, of course anticipating a di- vorce trom George. Shortly after becom- ing acquainted with Anita the tall young politician-lawyer found favor In her eyes and it was no uncommon sight to ses Mrs. George W. Baldwin an Interested spectator at all the Demoeratic meetings at which McClaughry speke in the in- terest of the party at large and ‘inci- dentally for himself as a candidate. for the office of Justice of the Peace, a step- J 1 HULL McCLAUGHRY AND HIS BRIDE, WHO WAS ANITA BALDWIN. THEY WERE SECRETLY MARRIED AT A SMALL TOWN IN NEVADA A FEW DAYS AGO. ping stone to possible future political | ¥ o the heat of the campaign the fact that the two young | people were almost constantly in each | other's company was overlooked to the | extent that it provoked no great com- ment. One day Anita discussed the political | issues In the presence of her father and, | warming ‘up to her subject. she so far forgot herself that She produced a piacard | bearing the announcement of the candi- | dacy of Hull McClaughry. Saving many. nice, things about the am- | bitloys young attorney she let slip that ! she was Interested In his polftical weifare | and in a spirit worthy of the cause asked her father to do what he eould to help | the office-secker to the front, This turned | out to be a bad move on her part and last Sunday's secret journey may be traced to this particular incident. “Lucky” Baldwin, in bygone days, has mixed in politics In Nevada and was al- ways ceunted on as a stanch supporter, financially and otherwise, of the Republl- | can party in that State, While fguring | on his trip to Nome, “Lucky" one night | was sitting with a‘number of men who were anticipating a trip to the northern | gold flelds and the subject turnihg to poli- | ties for a moment brought forth the story of the finale of Anita's political ambi- tlons. The old miner told how he had suspect- ed his daughter of being In love with a | young lawyer just striking out for him- self and sald that the marriage with his consent was impossible. He related how she had “sprung” her sweetheart's pic- ture on him “simply for love of politics' and in the warmth of hig story told how his political pride had been hurt by his daughter’s actlon in covering the card of his life-long Republican friend who was “out for office too,” with the placard of a sprouting disciple of Blackstone, who had never been heard of and a Demeo- crat at that, Before the party broke up Baldwin fin- ished his story by telling how he punished his_daughter for incurring parental dis- pleasure, + “ " Was Angry, “Well, I just tere that picture in small bits and gave her to understand that 1 did net want any Demecratic ads around where I was and what's mere made it rs. However. d old, led her father to believe that she would otey Bim. but soon showed that her love for her cousin was stronger than her fear of her father. One afterncon a minister was sought and after an explanation he agreed to accompany the young folks outside the heads on a tug and marry them. The af- fair came nearly being a fallure, as the bride-to-be was so evercome by seasick- ness on the trip that she could hardly g0 through the ceremony. The marriage caused quite a sensation. Lucky Baldwin was incensed at his daughter's disobedlence, He predicted they would not live together a year. Qeorge was discharged from his uncle's employ, but got a position in the County Clerk’s office, Baldwin, after his anger had been spent, took his son-in-law in hand again and gave him his former posi tion, The affairs of the young ceuple did not run smoothly for any length of time and a separation was soon in order, George answered his wife's appeal for diverce as a matter of form, but agreed to a legal separation. The divorce was granted on the 6th inst. by Judge Hall of Oakland. Remémbering her former mal de mer Mrs. Baldwin put her foot down on an- other tugboat marriage. Reno was dan- gerous because of the publicity and Brit- ish Columbla was suggested, but finally an out of the way town In Nevada was selected. Hull McClaughry is an atterney-at-aw in this city and is quite prominent among the young Democrats. He is a leading Hght of the exclusive Monticello Club, composed only of Democrats who have social standing to recommend them. Seme say that the announcement of the early return of “Lucky” Baldwin caused Anita to hasten her second matrimonial venture, hoping for another “Ged bless you, my children.” e———————— KENTUCKY FAMILIES RESUME THEIR FEUD LONDON, Ky., Oct. #i—Anether feud has broken out in Clay County between the Philpots and Davidsons.
