Telegram to The BEE. General james b.
Weaver addressed an asscnolage of about
900 independents this afternoon, A great
demonstration had been announced, bat did
not take place, owing perhaps to drizzling
rain which has continued for two days. The
address was made in the Sugar palace whore
but three weeks ago 5000 people assembled
to h9ar Andrews out argue Nick Keighan The
crowd was disorderly and profanity was
common. Even while General Weaver was
speaking two Independents got into a quar-
rel and it took the combined efforts OF two
policemen TO take one Of them out of the hall
General Weaver opened his address by ap-
pcaling for order. He reviewed his campaign
visits all over the country with Mrs. Lease
and claimed a greater upheaval IN this country
than had ever occurred. He paid a glowing
tribute TO confederate soldiers. lie SAID that

THURSTON AT LINCOLN,
Capital City Republicans Indulge In Rous-
Ing Revival.


LINCOLN, Nep., Nov. Especial Telegram
to The BEE. John Nj. Thurston addressed
large republican gathering at the Lansing
theater in this city this evening. Thurston
discussed the Independent party doctrines.
the tariff ana the force bill
Abiding to the independent party he con-
ceded that it had been originally formed by
honest aud sincere men under the pressure
OF hard times and Improbable agricultural
pursuits. but he asserted that the hard times
having now passed away, the original lead
ers had been sent to the rear, while the
present leaders were the political failures OF
the parties. he claimed that the corn raisers
between the Mississippi river and the foot
hills Of the Rocky mountains represented
more valuable farms, more comfortable
homes, more good farm buildings moro la
bor-savlng machinery more flocks ana herds
and more money in the banks than any other
3.OOOOOO people ever represented at any time
in the history of the past two centuries
Held Back the States.
The cry of calamity two years ago went
into the money centers of the east and did
more to delay our coming pros perity than all
the grasshoppers, drouths, halstorms and
cyclones that Providence had visited upon
the state In the past quarter OF n century
The one thing needful was to restore the
confidence of the country IN the rros perity
and Integrity OF Nebraska, and the surest
ana quickest way to do 1t was to give the re-
publican ticket, both national and state a
rouSlng majority next Tuesday.
Turning to the free silver demands of the
independent platform the speaker RAPIDLY re-.
viewed the history of silver. coinage in
the United States and showed the utter fal-
lacy of free coinage that would enable the
bankers of Europe TO bring 81 cents worth
of silver to the United States mint, have it
coined into collar, and then compel an
American farmer or latoring man to take it
for dollar.
He illustrated protection by saying that it
was great deal as II a man had IL fine pas
turo with n flock of sheep upon it. Ho sur
rounded the pasture with barb wire fence
TO keep his neighbors' sheep from getting at
it, but If the neighbors' sheep did break
through the fence the owner claimed the
wool that caught on the barbs as n recon-
pense for tho use OF the pasture.
Denounced Georgia Democrats.
The speaker grew eloquent in defense Of
the force bill and scored good point by
alludiug to the action of the people Of Georgia
in aenying to General Weaver and Mrs.
Lease the right of FREQ speech even when
they claimed it under the stars and stripes
and the godds of justice on the dome of the
capitol at Atlanta
In closing Mr. Thurston told the repub-
llcans OF Nebraska not to worry about sue
cess IN New York. He quoted q Tammany
friend in New York. who In formed him ONLY
last Friday that There were $4,000 Dave
Hill democrats IN the Empire state who
would never assist in electing a man who
had TO back uD to door in order TO get hold
Of the latch.n
The meeting closed with three hearty
cheers and tiger for Harrison.
