BACK FENCES DOWN
Nebraska Democrats Calling
 Bryan Back Home
Republicans Have Arranged Whirl' wind Finish of the Campaign ill That State in a Determined Effort to Carry it.

New York Oct. 1S.-The Herald pub fishes today the following from it's Washington correspondent:
 Nr. Bryan has been appealed to by Nebraska democrats to cut short his eastern trip, and go home to prevent the republicans from capturing Ne braska. Senator Hanna and the re- publican campaign managers have made up their minds to land Nebraska in the republican column, and they will make the most of the opportunity while AIr. Bryan is out of the state to work republican enthusiasm. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, one of the most effective campaigners in the republican party. has left Washington for MT. Bryans state. He will speak at Hastings and other points.
 Assistant Secretary of War Meikle
 john has also gone to Nebraska. where he will speak every day from now until election. Senator Hanna himself is to go into the state with Senator Frye. of Maine, and other prominent republic
 cans who will be in the state while
 Bryan is invading the enemies country include Senators Lodge and Allison and Speaker Henderson.
 The republican leaders plan to keep men of national reputation in the state
 from now until the day of election. There will not be a town of importance fin which republicans will not be heard,
 and when the day of election comes,
 extraordinary means are to be taken
 to get out the republican vote. MT. Hanna is econOmizing in his campaign
 expenditures so as to have plenty of
 money to devote to getting men to the polls on election day in states like Ne
 brasHa. where the result is so doubtful
 that every vote counts.
 In the country districts the republi-
 can managers will have carriages at
 their command throughout the day,
 and every man who can be depended
 upon to vote the republican ticket will
 be hunted up and given a ride to the voting place at the expense of the re- publican committee The republicans are making no secret of their inten-
 tion, not only to land the electoral vote
 of Nebraska in the Mckinley column. ! If possible. but to carry the legislature as well, SD as to prevent the election of MT. Bryan to the senate. to succeed | Senator Thurston.
 Senator Hanna and the republican managers are anxious to keep Mir Bryan out of the senate chamber as well as out of the White House. The legislature of the state of Nebraska. which will be elected this fall. will elect ! two senators, one to fill the seat now ! held by Senator Allen by appointment
 of the governor, and the other to fill the seat which Senator Thurston will i Vacate on the 4th of March next. If , Mir. Bryan is defeated for the presi- i dency and the democratfc-populist fu- , sion controls the legislature of Ne ! bras}la, it is practically certain that i Senator Allen will be selected for the uneXpired portion of the term he is now filling, and that Bryan will be ! elected to succeed Senator Thurston. i It is to prevent this and to secure the | election of two republican senators from Nebraska, as well as to secure the i electoral votes of that state for Me | kinley. that the republicans are now 1 striving. Administration officials who are in close touch with the republican 1 committee headquarters believe that
 the chances of electing a republican 1 legislature are very good. Two years 1 ago, although the democrats and popu- ! lists elected their state ticket the re- ! publicans elected the legislature, and a 1 republican senator was elected. whose
 death made way for the appointment of 1 Senator Allen. This year conditions in | Nebraska are such that the republicans ! believe they can carry the state and i legislative tickets, even if MT. Bryan [ should secure the electoral vote of the state Senator Hanna believes it is l worth while to make the attempt. and i he is preparing for a whirlwind finish | in Nebraska, speaking there himself and keeping men of national reputation on the stump until the day of election.
