8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE , ITHURSDAY , OOTOBEll 20 , 1801 , OSTIIOFF NAMED THE BOARDS , Fifth Ward Election Officials Selected by the Democratic Candidate. HIS COUNCIL TALK WAS ALL BUNCOMBE , ' Mr. OHlliofr * 1'nrtnor Tells How , IVIiun mill Where llio Demoorntlo flection OlIlolnlH for IIJH U'nril Were Selected. At the council meeting hold Tuesday night Henry Osthoff publicly stated thut ho hud nothing to do with the n a in I UK' of the Judges mid clerks of election for the Filth ward. Mr. Osthoff was not satisfied with making the bare statement that his words were true , but four times did ho call OH the council mid the lobby to witness thut never had ho sug gested or named a man to sorvu in thut ivartl. Those who were present listened to Mr. Osthoft's words , but seine of the parties doubted. They know that ho was building fences nnd tuought that possibly bo was doing some mouthy vaporing for the purpose of catching votes. Tuesday night Mr.Onholf's words went for the truth , but this morning tlioro came developments that Indicated that lie was talking , simply for effect and the lobby. Yesterday Mr. Ostnoil's word was ub-iOlutcly and emphatically denied and by a member of bis own political party. Tuesday night thorn were two political meetings billed for Lrliing's ballon Sixteenth street , between Paul nnd Nicholas streets. The Independents had Intended holding a public meeting to discuss the outlook , wlillo the Fifth ward republicans expected to bold a pelviito session. The attendance was light , so thnt neither of the meetings wcro held , though tlftcen or twenty republicans gathered nbout the store nnd swapped campaign stories. K. C. Krfllr.fr , the owner of the building nnd a staunch democratono of the leaders of the faithful In thu Fifth ward , was present. During the discussion tbo subject of Judges nnd clorlts of election was Udkcd fro and con. con.Tbo independents argued that the mayor had Intentionally sllu'htou their party and hail failed to allow them representation. The republicans agreed with the inde pendents and then stated that the mayor had been partial , as he hud given the democrats more than their sbaruof tbo judges and clerks. They were of the opinion that tbo mayor had not been nlono in the scheme , but bad been assisted by interested tmrllcs. Mr. Erfllng did not want to give away any family secretsbut could tell some thine * that would throw light upon the subject. Ho had not heard Mr. Osthoff's statement that bo ( Ostboff ) know nothing about tbo selection of tno judges and clerks. The conversation lagged and for n tlmo It was thought that Mr. ICrlllng would lock his secret In tils own bosom , lie did not , however - over , for bo thought that the manner in which ho and Mr. Osthoft had manipulated the election board was too good u joke to keep. ills statement was a straight forward ono nnd was made without any reserve and was bcnrd by Gcorno It. Hess , A. A. McClana- han , Charles il. Bachmann , William Mull- hall , Allen Hoot , Dennis ICellcrhcr and sev eral others. Ho said thut ono week ago last Tuesday night bo mot Henry Osthoff. They talked election matters for a few moments nnd then the subject of judges and clerks of election was discussed. Mr. Ostholt vouched the Information that good men should.bo ap pointed. The two men then tool : out their pencils and wrote down the names of mon to bo appointed. Mr. Osthotf selected the most of tbo names and volunteered to see that the nppomtes were conlirmod. Mr. Erfllng had pot seen the list since- that night , but know it had been handed to Mayor Gushing , with a request that bo loot ; with favor upon the list. The parties who heard Mr. Erfllng's state ment were dumbfounded , as many of them had been assured by Mr. OsthotT that ho bad taken no hand in the matter , but they ques tioned Mr. Erlling. They wanted to know nbout tbo political proclivities nf tbo men se lected by Mr. Osthoff. Mr. Erfllng would not bo positive about that , but ho knew that it was tbo intention of himself and Mr. Os- thoff to select mostly democrats. They wanted to put on a few republicans , but wanted to bo positive that such were OstholT republicans. That the statements might carry moro \voieht , a number of the parties who heard Mr. Krlllng's recital of how bo and Mr. OstholT packed an election board hnvo made nflldnvlts which arc now on Illo nnd itinko mighty interesting reading when taken in consideration with Mr OsttiolY's campaign bi > cechcs delivered at Tuesday night's coun cil meeting. WOUJO VOTI5 THIS PAUPKUS. Poor 3lr.ster Muhonoy'rt Scheme to Swell thu Itculstratlon Ijlsl.s. J. J. Mahoney. superintendent of the county hospltu' ' , has commenced work on a plan ho has for making voters of tbo inmates of tbo county poor bouse. This was a common Incident of Seventh ward politics u few years ago until the nbuso of the cbstnm was culled to public attention nnd Mr. Mahoney was prevented from cast ing the votes of the county charges. The matter was allowed to rest for one election , but last fall Mr. Mahoney tried nalu to get the mnlo Inmates of ilio poor house on the voters list for the Seventh ward. A ntot deception was practised last fall In connection with the nttomptcd registration of the hospital inmates. Tno registrars ob jected to the applicants on the ground that they were not residents of the ward. Mr. Mnhoimy took the mntior to City Attorney 1'oppleton nnd returned , armed with an opin ion from that otllclnl to the olTcet that a man could not bo prevented from voting because ho was a pauper. The opinion did not refer to the question of rosldcnco and Attorney Cochran , who was a member of the registra tion board in that district , succeeded in securing the rejection of thu pauper appli cants for registration. Mr. Mahoney has been moro successful this year. Ho llrst secured the appointment of tnrro democrats on the board of registra tion for the Seventh district of the Seventh ward , ono of whom Is a clerk at the county hospital. This made it plain sailing for his ichemo and on Thursday ho registered a hulf dozen Inmates of tbo county hospital on tbo voters' list and will. It Is stated , offer the rest of thorn , nbout flf'.y In all , at the sitting of the board on Frldav. There are some republican attorneys In the Seventh , however , who will opposo" this at tempt. They claim that supreme courts , In any number of status , have decided that In mates of hospitals nnd poor furms cannot ac quire residence qualifications at such places no matter how long thny may have been there uiul cnn only vote In wards nnd dis tricts whore ihov resided bolero removal to tbo institutions named. In case Mr. Mn- honay attempts to register any moro of the county's charges or votu these already reg istered ho will meet with the legal opposl- tlon ot the republicans who propose to have a fair election according to law.

A nuisance that troubled England fifty years ago Is now rapidly spreading In this country , that Is putting alum in the bread uocat. This question Is causing a great deal of discussion at the present moment , us it Is revealed that alum Is being used ns n substitute for cream of tartar In baking pow- uers. A story is told thnt n very largo percentage - centago of the baking powders sold on tbo market contain cither nlura or ninmouln , nnd many of thorn contain both thcso pernicious drugs. Much timely alarm Is felt at the wholesale use of alum In broad , biscuit nnd pastry. To young children , growlnir girls , persons of wo'tkly frame , alum bread eaten morning , noon and evening , ' * the most harm ful. it Is tbo .small quantities taken nt every meal that do the mischief. Alum Is cheap , costing but'J or ! ) cents u pound , while cream of tartar costs ilOc , nnd the high prlco of cream of tartar has led cheap baking powder to bo made of alum , if the rcador wants to know something of the corrosive qualities of alum let him touch n piece to his tongue then reflect how It nets on the tender delicnto COHIS of the stomach.

[ Bv Mexican Cable to the Herald Special to Tin : BcK.l Minister Egan has received u reply from the mln istcr of foreign affairs of the provisional government , rela tive to Mr. Elan's dispatch on tbo question , of providing safe conduct to the refugees now under the protection of the American legation. Senor Monti sends a safe conduct to refugees In the legation under protest , lie recognises the precedents quoted by Minister Egan in which the Chilian go vornmcnt claimed similar rights for refugees in I'uru , and the latter were allowed lo depart from that coun try , and acknowlnd es the claim of extra tor- ritoriality. At the same titno Senor Montt does not abandon altogether tbo position maintained byibo junta that these refugees in the legation must , in spite of the rights of asylum which are thereby conceded , event ually bo tried before the tribunals. I have reliable information that the junta is greatly stirred up over the recent dispatch from tbo United States government on the question of the outrageous assault upon the sailots from the Baltimore in tno streets of Valparaiso on October 1(1. ( It is evident that the loaders are disposed to consider the mat ter In a serious light and In nn nmlcablo spirit. The subject is ot such grave Import that It requires earnest deliberation , how ever , before any dellnlto reply can bo given. A letter published in the newspapers yes terday has created a vast amount of heated discussion. It is signed by Augustine Ed wards , tbo well known banker , and Edward Malta , and vindicates Minister Kgan froui tbo continued and severe criticisms that nave been passed upon his conduct of his olllco by various bitter adherents of the junta. The letter has caused a great dual of criticism. It is a curious fact that although Iho presi dential electors were chosen over a wool ; ago no candidates for tbo presidency has yet been definitely put forward. In fact , it is not known who the candidates will be. I do not think that Admiral George L. Montt will ac cept the olllco. It Is iporo than likely that Senor Barros Lucos will bo the man chosen.
