;A YS RAILROAD RUINED
AN OMAHA GRAIN DEALER
WHO “GO7 IN THE WAY"
Chicago. Sept. 19.—A. B. Stlckney
yesterday told the Interstate commerce
commission how a man who formerly
uas a prosperous grain dealer at Oma
ha became penniless and Is now living
I'hlcago and working as a clerk as a
result of the persecution of the Union
pacific railway.
Stlckney said the man accidentally
jlscovered that the Union Pacific was
paying heavy rebates to the F. H.
Peavey Grain Company and demanded
of the road an equal rebate with the
Peavey Company. The company prom
ised to "make It all right” with him. If
I. would turn over to It a letter which
lid been Intended for the Peavey Com-
finv hut had been misdirected snd
lad fallen Into the hands of the com-
jlalnant.
The letter was surrendered and that
was the last heard from the Union Pa
cific until he Inquired of the road what
they were going to do for him. The
official of thn railroad then became In
dignant and refused to discuss the
matter.
The grain dealer himself then grew
Indignant, and the result was that the
road "layed for him" and It was not
long before the grain man, who had but
130,000 In the world, was driven to the
wall. He was compelled to go' to work
In a grain office, but was driven from
that because It was feared he might
Injure the railroad.
Mr. Stlckney withheld the man'i
name, but the commission expects to
hear more about It upon the arrival of
E. M. S. Leflamy, one of the ruined
dealers, who Is now on the way to Chi
cago from Lexington, Nebraska, to tes
tify against the Union Pacific.

Charlotte, N. C., Sept. 19.—William J.
Bryan and party were greeted here last
evening by a crowd numbering about
5,000, and the reception was a most
cordial one. The special trrfln pro
vlded by the state Democratic commit
tee, bearing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, Gov
ernor Glenn, Senators Overman and
Simmons, Congressman Webb, and the
committee of escort, arrived at 7:15
o'clock. The party was met at the de
pot by the mayor, aldermen and a com
mlttee of citizens in carriages, and es'
corted to the Southern Manufacturers'
Club, where a reception was tendered
the Nebraskan, followed by an Inform
al supper. At 8:15 o'clock Mr. Bryan
was escorted to an elaborately decorut
ed stand In Vance park, where
spoke for an hour.
Talk to Laboring Mt.i.
One of the most significant speeches
of the day’s Journey through the Tar
Heel state yesterday was made by Mr.
Bryan at High Point to a tremendous
crowd at 2:30 o’clock.
Senator Lee S. Overman Introduced
the Nebraskan. Noting the great num
ber of laboring men In his audience,
Mr. Bryan devoted the major part of
his talk to the relations of capital and
labor. Said he:
"As I look about me, I look Into the
faces of laboring men, and I cannot
thus see you without recalling the fact
that when I first entered politics, and
had taken a position on certain public
questions, there were those • of my
friends In my social circles, in the busi
ness world and among the literary
clubs, who severed their relations with
It was from the men whose hands
had been hardened by toll, and those
who carry with them the dinner palls
that I had my support. I shall never
forget that In my campaign of 1896
there was Inserted In my platform
plank for arbitration between labor and
capital. Some will tell you' that the
silver plank drove away from mo the
most of the support of the money class,
but I tell you It was not the sliver
plank, but the clause for arbitration
that drove them away far more than
silver. Again I Insisted that there
should be an arbitration plank, and
would not allow my party to take a
backward step when I believed they
were right, as I now believe they are/
Arbitration Discussed.
Referring to arbitration between cap
lt&l and labor Mr. Bryan said:
'I do believe that If there were
Investigations and conferences looking
toward arbitration before the strikes
are entered Into that nine out of every
ten would be settled before they are
fully begun. You hear an employer
■ay that he will run business to suit
himself, or shut down. That is all
right, so long as he does not run any
one else’s business, and Interfere with
the liberty and pursuit of happiness of
his employee. I deny that there is any
right to arbitrarily regulate any man’
wealth and liberty and welfare. You
have heard me criticised for trying to
array class again class. You will not
find a speech In which I have clone
such a thing. On the other hand, I
have tried to bring the people closer
together In all things, and to make
peace always In all things.”
An open air meeting at Salisbury
was prevented by a downpour of rain
nnd the speaking was held In the court
house. Here Mr. Bryan spoke for an
hour and then left for Concord.
Replies to Secretary Shaw.
Fully 5,000 people greeted the speak
er at Concord. Here Mr. Bryan took
occasion to reply to the recent speeches
of Secretary Shaw on his tour of the
South.
The special train left Concord at
5:45 o’clock, following a 30-mlnute
speech, nnd no stops were made be
tween that city nnd Charlotte.
Mr. Bryan was Introduced by Con
gressman E. Yates Webb. He devoted
his time to the recent speech In this
state of Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw, declaring sarcastically that the
secretary had given the people of North
Carolina "second hand tariff garments,”
In his speeches here. Mr. Bryan said:
"The people of Iowa, the secretary’s
native state, have repudiated those
stand pat Ideas of his on the tariff, so
he is working them off on the South.”
He styled Secretary Shaw ns the
prince of stand patters.” "He prom
ises nothing, on behalf of his party,"
Mr. Bryan said; "he belongs to that
faction of his party which believes that
the Republican party has always done
right, that it c mid no nothing wrong,
and that present conditions cannot be
improved upon.”
Quits North Carolina.
Closing a two-days’ tour of North
Carolina, in which be made prearrang
ed speeches in a dozen towns nnd rear
platform talks In half as many more,
William Jennings Bryan closed his en
gagements In this state In Charlotte,
nnd passed on to Columbia. There will
be but one speech delivered by Col
onel Bryan today. That will be at Co
lumbia and will be one of the moat sig
nificant of the Southern tour.
