\ THE OMAEIA DATI Y BEE ; THURSDAY , OCTOBER 2(3 ( , 18D8. bul it trnnsplrod that the candidate had no Intention , nt that time , of "sotting 'om up. " Down the back stairway they wont , nlmost tumbling over each other In tholr haste to got to the bar , but when they reached there the man at the head of the column kept them moving , and before they know It they wcroout In the cold world. As they were rushed along the bar almost nt u lope many was the plunco that-WAS cast at the white- aproned professor on the other ldo , but the doctor was nowhere lo bo seen , and not a word was si > okcn. There wasn't half the enthusiasm In the crowd when It reached the Bidownlk that thuro had been a couple of minutes before , nnd In a very few seconds the collection of nutnnn beings that had Irccn designated by Iho doctor as "soventy-llvo of the most rep- roBcnintiro citizens of Omaha" had faded wny from view In the mist. Henry Khrcnpfort , Phil "Winter and Jim Kynor lingered a moment to swap secrets with the doctor and then illsappoaroJ , whllo Mr. Ilroatch , who was not nt the meeting upstairs , but who was Interested In a little fathering on the lower floor , availed hlmsolf of the opportunity to go to bed. NOT AS AN OI IANI7.VTION. Omnlm'i AIInliitorl.il AmocUtlon Itotuvci to Opjuxn .Major llciiilnor Ite-Kleutlnn. As an organization , the Omaha Ministerial union has unanimously decided that it will notdabblo In municipal politics at the com ing election , but will leave ttio members of the churches of the city at liberty to vote thulr huncst convictions. There have been bids for the ohurcti vote and urotnlscs galore , but tl < o pastors have refused to bo caucht by promises and have given the bidders to understand that they would have to look outside of the protcstant churches fora solid support. Some titnu ago there was a report that the church votcofthoclty would not go to Mayor Bcmls on account of some action which ho Is alleged to hnvo taken with reference to the gambling houses , and immediately there after the otlior aspiring candidates for the nfllcoof mayor commenced to Importune the union for an endorsement. Couriers were cent to the member * , asking them to take sonio united action. At last the visits became a bore and a mooting was called. Tlio meeting was held last week but no action was taken , though a commit tee was appointed to hear the claims wnich the boomers of certain candidates might pro- tent as an argument why some other man than George P. Ucmfoshould 1111 the mayor's chair during the next two years. The committee sot the titno for the hear ing and notillod the icokcrs for votes hat they could have their innings anil snow whether or not certain men were such as the churches could support. Dr. Samuel D. Mercer was the flrst man who was ushered before the committee , and as soon us he was introduced tie Informed them that he was on the right sldo of re ligion and that he was a man to whom the Churches of any city could tie. Then ho told the committee that ho hud or would bo en dorsed by all of the American Protective lissociatlon councils of the city , which would give him a big lead in the fight , and a ( landing which no other candidate could hope to secure. All ho wanted , ho said , was the endorsement of the churches and he would ride into otllco with one of ho largest majorities that uny man in Omaha had over received. ' 1'hrco times did the doctor appear , before this- committee and 'each time did he tell the samtfstqry and then tbo committee turned him doVn. The members found that ho was good enough for practical purposes , but that-hc was not a inun who could bo hold up by the churches as the right kind of a can didate. This settled the Mercer boom in the churches , nnd after it had been so settled , the representatives of Isaacal Hascall were Invited to step inside and stand on the car pet. These representatives told the com mittee' that Hascall was the only true friend of the laboring man an'd that ho would irot that vote , Irrespective of party , but that vote , they said , would not bo quite enough to lift him over the fence. \Vhat they needed was the vote of the cnurchcs and then Hascall would win before be had entered the quarter stretch. . The ctory sounded well , but it did cot take with the men who work for the salvation of sonls , fpr when they dlscusscdtlie matter in private they unanimously decided tnnt Mr. Hascall was not the kind of a man for mayor. Nona of the other candidates appeared , nor did tnoy send representatives , so "tho committee decided to lot the church inotn- bors vote their convictions , and so reported to * the union. The union endorsed the re port and the several candidates will go into the Jlglit\vithout the endorsement of any of the'protestant churches.

J. Stover Is another of the unfortunate In dividuals who trusted tlioronnrilmiinlaocan didate , nnd now ho regrets his action in doing so. Stovero | > crntes a shoo store nnd Is n close neighbor of the young man who wants to sit In the halls of city dovernmcnt. Many months ngo Irn purchased his footwear tit the Stover store , OK South Thirteenth street , but for some reason ho has wholly forgotten to liquidate the bill of fl 50 , which Mr. Stovar hai now charged to profit and loss. Charles Piirocey , Bachelor's milkman , is another of the parties victimised. l'\ir n long tlmo ho furnlshedjullk to the family of Ira C.

There wns a spirited talk In which the debtor informed 'Mr. ICountzo that ho had paid Bachelor a portion nf the claim miinv long months before. Then Bachelor admitted that ho had used the money and that hn had failed to turn it over to the rightful owner. Other instances , too numerous to mention , constitute a pyramid of "souvenirs of mis placed confidence. " ItclWc the Committee. The publicity of I. C-Biichclor's unenviable record caused the republican city central committee to demand that Individual's ap pearance ut a session of the committee hold last night. Bachelor presented various affidavits , which ho claimed refuted the charges of dis honest dealings. His pleading to bo allowed o remain on the ticket was finally favorably considered and the committee decided to carry the load. Sl-KKOUlM IN THE SUCDNO.

The republicans of tlio Second ward turned out to the number of 209 last night and held a mass meeting at Kosslcr's hall , where nil of the candidates , or most of them , ex hibited themselves to the public by occupy ing scats upon the stage. Getting down to business , City Attorney Council was introduced as ono of the speakers of the evening , and ho at once wnded Into politics. Mr. Conneil dwelt at some length upon the record of the republican party , und lire- dieted that at the next national republican convention William McKinley would be nomi nated , and later would bo elected by an overwhelming majority. When tno subject of county politics was reached , the city attorney swallowed the whole ticket , and opined that all of the par ties named thereon were honorable gentle men , and \\oulU all be elected. The speaker spoke enthusiastically in support of Mavor Bcmis , saying that ho WAI the best ofllcial who had over stood ut the helm looking after city affairs. B. J. Cornish declared that the idea of nonpartisaiiship was all wrong and insisted that republicans should stand by the party nominees. Omaha , he said , had progressed until it was one of the first cities in the land and deserved a continuation of good munici pal government. Mnyor-Bemis , Mr. Cornish said , wns not n politician , but every .net ho liad performed WHS lu the best intercut of the city. Jim Kyucr was introduced as n speaker , butlio fulled.toCTcatonny.onthusiasm as he smilingly Jumped to the front. This Fifth warder , notwithstanding the fact that ho was in u bolicr'a meeting less than ono week ago , blessed the republican purty and prom ised that ho would uot j > peuk at any great length. [ Great applause. ' ] Air. K.vncr did not attempt to make a speech , but Instead told r. story about an old undo , whom ho designated as "Bony , ' ' anil u. resident of Ohio , and tlio old uncle , no said , loved his wife just as well as ho did when she was young and pretty. There was a time when Kyner could re member , or at least so he remarked , wlien newspapers published the truth , but that day had passed and they Jiad become so partisan aud personal that they coulu not be believed. Then the speaker from the Fifth "ward advised the Second warders not to be lieve all that they read. This having been settled/Mr. Kvner told another story , one about ClncinnaUis , who , the gpoakcr said , cume down to Home from the farm und handled the affairs of the city. No person saw the point , but , Kyner ex plained by saying that ho compared that Itomim with Bennett. Something sacmou to strike Kyner , for all nt once he seemed to grow nngry. Prancing about the platform , ho declared that ho loved n blacksmith nnd the smell of tlio forgo. In fact ho loved them n great deal belter than he did nn editor orn reporter , who shovua u pencil and earned his bread tnat way. , Kyner by this tlmo had grown so nugry that lie stopped short nnd would not say another word , as "bo knew that his speech wouhl be misquoted. " C. C.Stanley , the candidate for registrar of deeds , said that'lio was not n speaker , but that he would glvo the democratic nornlncj the fight of his life. George A. Bennett , candidate for sheriff , expressed the opinkm that he had boon prettv thoroughly introduced'during the past few days. The sheriff denied that the county jail had been operated jis uu assigna tion house. Ho said that once , and only oncu , had Mosher been out of the jail for the purpose of taking a carriage ride. That tinid was when he accompanied the sheriff to St. Joseph's hospital. Without n blusher or stieg of conscience Mr , Bennett told his hearers that ho was the best sheriff who had ever held the ofllco In Douglas county. Speeches were mitdo by George W. Hill , candidate for superintendent of publio in- utructioil ; Louis Berka , candidate for police judge ; Theodora Olson , candidate for city comptroller ; Henry Bolln. candidate for city treasurer ; GeorcoS. Smith , candidate fdr Justice of the -peace Sol Prince , candi date for the council. Mr. Prince said that It had been reported that ho had sold out Bernia and ngreed to suK ) > rt Husca.ll for mayor in order to sucuro the cndoremeut of the populists. This , Mr. Prlncufiuid , was false uud that ho Iiuddone nothing ot iho kind. T. J. Lund. , candidate for'tho round ) , do clnred that ho was not a politician , but sak he was n republican und was In the fight to win. win.Halfdan Halfdan Jueobson remarked that he uad always IXXMI a republican und as such ex peeled to bo returned to the council. Iron Cheek Bachelor next spoke , He said that ho was n candidate for the council from the Second ward-nnd that "when ho wont after anything it was usually to win. " Aft r making thin sweeping statement Mr , Bachelor lor took up his own matters und lauuderut some of his linen , Buying that "no matter what he might hare been jn the past , ho > * * honest and honorable now.

The statement , which has already boon published In these columns , was considered very gratifying. Trndo Mnrka lNcu * oil. The Manufacturers association has a label or trade mark which members are al lowed to use on goods that are made in the state. 'It ' was reported that Mayer Bros. , a largo firm In Lincoln dealing In clothing , hoots and shoes , wcro allowed to join the as sociation ns manufacturers of suspenders. They were entitled to use the labels of the association on their suspenders , but were do- tooted In using them on eastern goods which they were representing as made lu Nebras ka. Secretary Holmes stated that ho saw- Mayer Bros , and notified them that thov could not use the labels in that way. The firm promised to live up lo the rule of the association but wore detected a second time In trying to palm off eastern goods for Nebraska made. The question of what was to bo done with Mayer Bros , was discussed nt some length , which resulted in a unanimous vote of ex pulsion. BuckstatT Bros , of Lincoln sent a communi cation to the effect that they had been un- ( iblo to get a settlement out of the insurance companies for their flro , which occurred n peed many months ago. A list of the delin quent cutnpauics was read. It was decided that the question was ope that could hardly bo taken up by the association. This question being settled , the members then proceodod.toilisenss the lemon pie and the secretary. The pie was soon put out of flight and the secretary was engaged for an other year nt a salivry 7 of $1,800 , being an in crease J'JOO. NebraskaWp ; > ils fur Nobraskant.

The election of'ofUcors'was next declared In order and Mr. TJbbi presented the name of W. A. Page for 'pfesident in a very neat speech.

Chairs were tilted buck , cigars wcro lighted , nnd members prepared to enjoy one of those informal discussions of business affairs for which the Manfacturers association is .famous. Mr. Dempster started out by asserting that ho was not much of a speaker , but ho waxed quite eloquent in describing the bcneilts that have accrued to his business and to the bus iness of every other manufacturer from the efforts put forth by the Manufacturers and Consumers association of Nebraska. Mr. lihcom , who helped to frame the con- 'stitution of the association , made some very timely remarks regarding its organization. Ho said that education should commence with the children dnd that they should bo informed in school as lo the resources and business developments of tholr state. This provoked nn "audible smile , " which ho si lenced by asserting that the geographies used in the schools taught the children that Lynn , Mass. , for example , is noted for its shoo factories , nnd bo thought that it would bo Just as well to have them taught some thing about the industries of Nebraska us of Massachusetts. Mr. Howard of Lincoln offered some sug gestions regarding tno subject of dues , which resulted in the appointment of the speaker , Mr. Harpham of Lincoln nnd the secretary , as a committee to look into that matter. President Page spoke of ho popularity of the Manufacturers and Consumers associa tion and added that the retail dealers and consumers of the state wcro treating the manufacturers very fairly. Members of the association from the ilcst realized the fact that their pooas must-be up lo the standard and bo was pleased to note that NobraMca manufactuicrs were turning out better goods than their eastern competitors. Itovlvnt of Itustneis. Mr. H-irpham of Lincoln had noticed a rapid increase In the volume of business transacted by his factory as a result of tbo homo patronage movement.
