Apathy in Nebraska Makes the Out.

Apathy IN Nebraska Makes the OUT.
come Uncertain.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Nv it'll few rail-
lies, mainly in the country districts, the
dullest campaign known in Nebraska
for ten years practically came to close
Saturday night. There will be meetings
tonight, but The greatest efforts of po-
l.tical managers from now on will be
directed to getting out the vote, which,
despite efforts for week to arouse some
interest, seems certain to show falling
off of 5000 compared With a year ago.
The apathy among the rank and file is
limited to no particular party, but was
conceded up to week ago to be most
pronounced among the populists, who.
as usual, fused with the democrats on
the three state officers to be elected. This
apathy, it is claimed, has IN measure
been counteracted by the vigorous cam
paign which w. j. Bryan has been con-
Quoting for the past ten days in the east
ard central counties. Mr.. Bryan, while
paying some attention TO national is
sues, has made a special appeal for a
continued close alliance between the
democrats and populists. Governor
Shaw. of Iowa, accompanied by Govern
or Savage, of Nebraska, has also been
active on the stump for number of
Gays in behalf of the republicans. Aside
from these three gentlemen, and visit
earlier in the campaign by Senator Fair
banks. of Indiana there have been no
speakers of prominence. The republic
ans who thruout have been the most
aggressive, base their claims of victory
on their superior organization in the
state and the friendly sentiment of
voters to the policies of the national ad-
ministration. The fusionists assert that
the voters were misled a wear ago and
that they will be restored 10 power. Over
signed statements Chairman De France,
OF the populists, ard Vice Chairman
Scott. of the democrats. claim the cleo
ton of the fusion ticket by 10000 to To-
COO Chairman Lindsay said the repub-
lean plurality woulf be decisive. He
declined to give any figures.

Referred to Correspondents.
Detroit. Mich. Nov. 4.-Former Sec
retary of War Alger learned that Rich
ard Davis and Caspar Whitney, former
eorrespondents, threatened to sue him
because of the alleged reflection in his
book ."The Spanish-American War" on
their conduct ar the skirmish of Las
Guasimas. the first encounter with the
Spanish troops on Cuban soil. Mr.. AL
ger says, that ii was not his intention to
injrre, Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Whitney or any
other newspaper correspondent in his
reference 20 the fight al Las Guasimas.
He says:
s.The statements to which these men
take exceptions We're based upon a
statement made to my secretary by the
gallant Col. John d. Milley, of Gen.
Skaters staff, Immediately on his re-
turn from Cuba l can hardly believe
that Richard Harding Davis can feel
that any reference to him is intended.
The paragraph says that some newspa
per men became alarmed at the first
ahot fired at Las Guasinas and that
they returned to Siboney, where they
wrote from the decks of the transports
accounts OF the engagement, Wnlch was
described as an ambush Mr.. Davis,
according to his own account of the
fight, was present during the entire en-
gagement OF Las Guasimas. and has
been one of those who from the outset
denounced the reports of an ambush
as absolutely untrue. 1 don't recall that
he ever mentioned the Seventy-first
New York volunteers in his story of the
fight and the paragraph in my book
says that the unreliable accounts men
toned the Seventy-first New York as
being present at Las Guasimas. They
were not present, of course. can hard

is referred to-

spondents insisted on suing it was their
privilege

ed by Mr.. J. K. Fraser, of Ward &

new chapter had been added to the his

the day of Punch in the presence Of

possession of the public. Dignified men
In elevated cars craned their necks to
see If there was not another Spotless
Town card in sight, while more enter
prising people journeyed through the
entire train for the same purpose. Chill
dren and sedate matrons read the
verses to each other, till, from the
naughty Mayor down to the modest
cook the newly created citizens became
the friends Of the public. AS 1t Is
usual in giving the history Of town to

who have done most to make the place
prosperous or famous, we reproduce
here pictures Of the men and women
who have been most prominently con-
nected with the growth of Spotless
Town, made directly from the water
