WAYNE nIACvEAGH SCORED.
Minister EGan Handles Him without
Gloves-Good Words for Harrison,

Minister Egan Handles Him without
Gloves-Good Words for Harrison,
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 4.-ISpecial =
Minister Egan, who for many years was
resident of Lincoln, has sent a letter
to the Republican State committee as
follows:
when, in 1850, had the honor to be
named United States Minister to Chilli,
the entire Democratic press foully and
falsely assailed me and assaulted Presi-
dent Harrison and his administration
Tor having appointed me, and for no
other reason because | was an Irishman
who dared to .be independent. When
last year in conformity with my duty,
and with my instructions and with full
approval of my government I was en-
gagged in sustaining the American honor
anu dignity in protecting American
rights and in defending the American
flag and American uniform in Chilli
those attacks were unscrupulously re-
Moved.
mot contont with all this, n Mr..
Wayne MacVeagh, business partner of
Grover Cleveland, was put forward a
few days ago, at a great Democratic
meeting in Cooper Union, in this city,
and, as reported in the Democratic press,
amid the loud cheers of his audience he
dared to assail my good name and to
repeat the Piggot SANDERS about the
Irish Land League Funds and to stamp
me as fugitive from criminal Justice.
If were American born, or had 1 been
born in Sweden, belgium, Germany,
France, or, in fact, any where else than
in Ireland, those Mugwumps and Demo
Gratis would never dare to assail me in
this manner.
Now, let me ask, will Irishmen al
low to be heaped upon them from those
quarters such know-nothing abuse as
that. l would appeal to every loyal
Irish American who, in the glowing
words of President Harrison, though he
has given cor centrated loyalty OF his
honest heart to the starry flag, and his
adopted country has not forgotten and
ought not to forget the land OF his ma
tivity, to consider dispassionately those
plain, simple facts before he casts his
vote next Tuesday. 1 do sincerely hope
Irish Americans at the polls will know
how to punish those who have wantonly
insulted the honor of their race, and
they will vote for the recollection OF
President Harrison and for the Republi-
can ticket"

CLEVELAND SPEAKS IN NEW JERSEY
The Meeting One of the Most Enthusiastic
of the Campaign.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 4.-[Speciall- Ex-
President Cleveland spoke here tonight.
Neither the drizzling rain or tho fog
that hung over tho city damponed the
ardor of tho loyal Jersey Democrats.
With the glare of fireworks, tho blare
OF brass bands and the marching Of
political clubs they celebrated the last
grand rally Of the campaign.
Elk President Cleveland came from
New York in company with Senator
John r. Mcpherson and Chairman
Harrity, Of the Democratic national
committee. Elk Senator William Binker-
hof presided and on the platform were
many distinguished Democrats from all
parts of the State. Cleveland was most
enthusiastically received. He said:
Two considerations have had much
to do with my acceptance OF the kind
invitation rendered me to be with YOU
/ did not FEEL quite like allowing tho
campaign to elise without visiting my
native State, and l desired to meet
again, face to face; a representative OF
the Democracy of New Jersey, one OF
tho bravest andmost steadfast divisions
in the grand army OF the national Dem
ocracy.
Eight years ago when another Pres
idential campaign advanced nearly to
tho precise stage the present one has
reached, l came to your State and de-
clared it to be my understanding of tho
Democratic creed that all taxation
should be limited to the requirements
OF an economical government and that
every cent taken from the pockets OF
the people beyond these requirements
was no better than robbery.

result OF thas campaign. With a Dem
ocratic President and House of Repre-
sentatives, You know how faithfully we
attempted to cngraft these doctrines
upon the policy of the country, and how
constantly we worked to relieve tho
people from the burdens of taxation
which had their origin in the exigencies
OF terrible and wasting war, but bad
been continued through many years of
peace, to serve the purposes Of private
and selfish interests.
I'VE fought for tho peoples rights and
welfare as against the taxing of the
poor TO increase tho fortunes of the rich.
You rememb Der that measure of relief
passed by our Democratic House OF Rep
resontatives was defeated by Republi.
can Senate, thus demonstrating bow far
u majority OF that body was removed
from sympathy with tho needs of tho
people.
From the recreancy OF the Senate we
appealed again in another Presidential
election to the people, with the pledge
that If entrusted with power, wo would
still continue to struggle to rectify the
wrongs of an unjust tariff. In the cam
palgn of 1SSS we still followed tho ban
nor upon which was emblazoned tho
Legend Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation"
Mr.. Cleveland discussed the tariff
question freely and said he was sure
Now Jersey would not forget her allie
glance to the Democratic party.
United States Senator Mcpherson
followed Cleveland. He was WARMLY
received and his speech was literally
punctuated with applause.

would mean the absence of very large

"A Farmer" in the Texas Farm
and Ranch, has this to say on the
road tax question: Mr.. lli,burn
seems to think that it would not be
right to work the roads by taxation.
because it leaves the negro and
non-property holder out. I differ
with him very much, for every man
who has horse has to pay taxes
on him. IL he has no horse he has
no use for the road. Then why
make the man who has to foot it.
and needs no road, work the roads
for the property holder to haul his
properly over: Now 1 have two
boys subject to road duty. and my
seif-makes three. Counting five
dollars to the hand, it makes :.fteen
dollars . year it costs me to work
the roads. Ny neighbor has dou-
bic the property that I have and has |
only himself to work the roads.
Then he gets of with five dollars
md has double the use for roads
