OMAHA, Neb., November 5.-Mr.
Bryan tonight gave out the following
statement:
"The evidence is in, the arguments
have been made and the case is now
submitted to the jury. If the jury will
accept the Declaration of independence
and the Constitution of the United
States as the instructions of the
court, there will be no doubt as to the

vote early and then see that the vote
is counted as cast. have been inform

cause Democrat who would become
a Republican worker at the last moment

and l believe that the people are SO
much in earnest that bribery upon any
extended scale will be impossible"
Mr.. Bryan arrived in Omaha at S:15
O'Clock tonight, and began his first
speech of a series of nine, in South
Omaha, at $50. This first speech was
made in small hall used as Demo-
cratic headquarters, and the hall was
packed to the point of suffOcation with
men, women and children, who re-
ceiyed the candidate with loud acclaim
and frequent applause. He spoke for
only few minutes, asking his hearers
to be at the polls early and to remain
there until their votes should be
counted. He also thanked them for
past favors, and asked them to contin-
ue them.
The other meetings were repititions
of the first in point of numbers and
enthusiasm.
Mr.. Bryan closed his last speech at
1915 O'Clock Tuesday morning, and
when he left the platform after nine
teen hours of consecutive work and an
exceptionally long and arduous cam

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, November
5.-The Republicans, in their despera-
ton, have turned loose on the State,
it is charged four hundred negroes
from small pox camp in Harri-
son county and expect to vote every
one of them. In the camp from which
these men were released this morning
there are seventy-five fully developed
cases of small pox and the quarantine
has been in force for some time.
The loathsome disease which the
Republicans have thus spread through
the country has existed among the
negroes who have been working on
the construction of the West Virginia
Short Line railroad from Clarksburg
to New Martinsville, and to prevent
the spread of the disease the authorit-
les some weeks ago established the
quarantine.
This morning DR.. D. P. Morgan,
president of the Harrison county
board of health, raised the quarantine
and the negroes were soon scattering
in every direction. When the news
became known Mr.. Rinehart, of the
firm of Gooch, Rinehart& Dennis, con-
tractors on the railroad, and other cltl-
zens entered their protest and appeal
ed to Dr. A. o. Flowers, member Of
the State Board of Health, to re-estab-
fish the quarantine, but neither of the
physicians would do so and the ne
groes have been leaving in large num-
bers all day
1t is reported here from out the rail-
road that many of them are coming
this way and expect to vote here to-
morrow. 1t is known as a positive
fact that certificates of citizenship
have been made out and are now in
the possession of Republicans ready to
be handed indiscriminately to all the
negroes who apply for them as an aid
in voting, and the statement that is
made here that they are for the ne
groes from the small pox district is
therefore credited.
The physicians who ordered the rails
ing of the quarantine and who refuse
to order it re-established are both Re-
publicans. Steps are being taken here
to quarantine against Clarksburg and
other points near there so that the ne
groes may be taken at once to a pest
house on their arrival here.

SIXTO LOPEZ REPLIES
To President Schurman's FulmfPa-
ton Against the Filipinos.


BOSTON, November 5.-Senor Sixto
Lopez this afternoon gave out the
following statement in reply to that
recently made by President Jacob G.
Schurmann, of the first Philippine COM
mission.
President Schurmann has formu-
lated what is said to be the reply to
my open letter to him. had pointed
out that he had cruelty and carelessly,
but | believe 'unintentionally, misrep-
resented the condition and degree or
education in the Philippines. | showed
by facts within my own personal
knowledge, that there were 4SS teach
ers in my own province of Batangas,
OF one to each 500 inhabitants, whereas
DR.. Schurmann had reported that there
were only 81 teachers, or one to 1907
inhabitants. l pointed out that the
conditions in Batangas obtained
throughout the whole archipelago with
the exception of central Mindanao. |
stated further, that the fact that the
Filipinos are an educated people is
practically admitted by DR.. Sehurmann
and by all classes and conditions OF
men, WI
ITO all this and other matters
about higher education, DR.. Schurmann
furnishes no reply and expresses no
regret at his cruel misrepresentation
which he practically admits by his in
ability to deny or controvert the facts.
Instead of furnishing any reply he
turns upon me with TRADE of utterly
Irrelevant and erroneous statements
about the alleged savage and disunited
condition of the FilipinoS, and he
makes the most unwarrantable asssr-
lions that | don't deny that the Fill
pinos are uneducated and ignorant
He further declares that |, by inference,
admit the truth of everything in his
report, whereas in my several letters
and statements to the American press
l have specifically denied practically
everything he says | admit.
II shall have occasion to refer later to
DIR. Schurmann's reply, but in the mean
time l may point out that after declar>
ing that the .Filipinos are abject savages
ready to tear each others Threats and
lapse into anarchy, and that they are
marked by dense ignorance. DR.. Schur-
mann closes his reply by stating that it
is the mission OF our repuDHc 10 save tle
Filpinos, who in general are most prom
Using, estimable and even lovable people
Thus the truth will come out in spite of
all attempts to hide it. DIR. Schurmann
is one of the best of imperialists. If his
reply is sample of the fair treatment
which we may expect from the best inn
perialists, then may heaven defend US
from imperialistic rule.

MANNINGTON, W. Va. Nov. g.
The unfortunate colored man who was
sent back and forth between Fairmont
Warrington and Wheeling so many
times by officials of those towns. while
in the agonies of typhoid fever, died
here on Sunday afternoon, through
neglect. The people here are very IN
dignant, and the story runs tina. ne
came in from a town about ten miles
from Fairmont, and while too sick 20
help himself was sent to Warrington
After some hours waiting he was sent
to Wheeling, as there is no place here
TO take care of a sick person. At
Wheeling all the blame was thrown
on the officials of Warrington, and he
was bundled back to Warrington. He
laid in the area way leading to the
Bartlett hotel fiye hours and thirty
minutes while the officials "medicat-
ed" 1t was at last decided to send
him back to Fairmont on No. that
day. when a colored lady named Pryor
offered to take care of him, and he was
taken TO her home, where he died.
The citizens are very indignant at the
treatment of the boy. and If the blame
can be placed on any one. ii may cause
trouble. Such neglect is criminal The
officials here are not to blame, as they
have not had the facilities to take care
of sick people, and the idea OF town
with the equipments of Fairmont send
ing sick patients to Warrington is an
outrage.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November s.
From the most conservative estimates
made by leading politicians of the State,
Indiana will go Democratic tomorrow
by at least 10000. The Democrats will
carry seven Congressional districts,
with a possibility of carrying three
additional ones. They will make large
gains in every county in the State, with
the possible exception of two. The
Republicans have practically conceded
the State to the Democrats. The DEM
ocratic organization of the State is one
of the best for years, and they will be
able to withstand the attempted fraud
on the part of the Republicans. There
is no question about the State going
Democratic. THE SENTINEL.

THE REPUBLICAN STATEMENT.

CHICAGO, November 5.-The follow
ing statement was given out at the
headquarters of the Republican nation
al committee:
There are few surface indications at
this time dissimilar to those of four
years ago, when Mckinley swept the
country by the greatest majority prob
ably ever given to a Presidential can
didate The work of the Republicans
during the past four weeks has been
marvelously effective. 1t has been
marked everywhere by completeness
In detail of machinery. harmonious
action and desired results. In the his
tory of the party no better organization
has ever existed. Mckinley and
Roosevelt will carry every State which
voted for Mckinley and Hobart four
years ago, and certainly seven or eight
others that voted for Bryan in 1896.
The alleged hopes Of Croker and Bryan
as to carrying Indiana and New York
are simply following out the pro-
gramme of claiming everything in sight
Tor the purpose of encouraging their
followers in close States to make the
most desperate efforts for success. The
claims Of the Republicans are based
upon the result of actual work reported
by men in the field, brought up through
precinct, ward, township, city, county
and State organizations and upon ac-
tual facts as shown by the closest poll
ever made by an political organiza
ton"
