> Ai rousing meeting of the republicans of
Iho. Fifth ward was held at Erfilng'B boll on
Sherman avenue last night. Notices of the
meeting wortHssaed only yesterday morning ,
but the large hall was well filled , notwlth-
landing the short notice.
, D. H. Christie presided over the meeting
] l and Introduced J. J. Boucher as the first
j'j speaker. . .Mr. , Boucher mode an Informal
' talk , which 'kept" the audience In a good
humor. He reviewed the. legislative record
of Ed Howell end mentioned n few of the
' , things ho had done to the detriment of
Omaha. Mr. Boucher also spoke of the offl-
] clttl- record of Colonel Moores. He said he
' had been employed In Mr. Moorcs' office durIng -
, Ing a part of the latter's term and had an
opportunity of seeing for himself how things
were managed. He denounced the charges
' which have been made against Mr. Moorcs
i > na unfounded hnd said these things were
only brought forward for the purpose of get
ting the populists In power In Omaha.
i A. C. Troup was the next speaker and he
" " what might be
gave the crowd a "tip" on
expected to happen In this city If Howell
should .be elected mayor. He said Howell
was nothlfig"but n populist and that the pop
ulist party had urscd everything It had ever
touched. If ifils party were put In power
III Omaha , the speaker said , the city would
bo blighted by legislation nnd cursed by the
establishment of a despotic government from
which It would take years to recover. Mr.
Troup referred at some length to the charges
which have been made against the head of
the ticket and paid his respects to Hedfield
and his hangers-on. Ho called attention to
the fact that every case which had been
Blurted against Moorcs for collecting Illegal
fees had either been adjudicated In favor of
Moores or had been dismissed by the plain
tiffs , and he denounced the hue and cry as
mere political buncombe.
AUDIENCE RISES TO ITS FEET.
As Mr. Troup finished his talk Colonel
Moorcs entered the hall. Every man in the
room rose from his seat and greeted the head
of the republican ticket with rousing cheers.
Amid the greatest tumult he moved to the
front of the halt and motioned for quiet.
When order was restored , Colonel Moores
made one of his characteristic speeches.
which pleated the crowd Immensely. Ho
poke In a most happy vein and was fre
quently Interrupted by applause. Ho re
ferred briefly to his record In office , coverIng -
Ing substantially the same ground as in his
speech before the Veteran Republican club
'the lilght before , explaining the true In
wardness of the charges which have been
made against him and showing the lack of
foundation for the sensational statements
which have been made. He also Bald that
the county had a gilt-edged bond with good
he would account
sureties as a guaranty that
count for every dollar In his hands , and
said ho had se.verjl thousand dollars worth
of property which was subject to execution
. If anything wrong is found.
' Continuing. Mr. Moorcs said : "It has been
said that if Moorcs Is elected , the town will
bo run wide , open. I want to say right now
thai that Is h'ufso..If. . I am .elected the laws
onMe statutc\bopk3 will bo enforced , Wlien-

At the conclusion of Colonel Moorcs'

dld'not subside until he had Ipft the hall.

fT M 'ii Miuilfi-M Their Intercut
In ( litCniuimlKii. .
The republican rally at the headquarters at
Thirteenth and Farnam streets last night
"was distinctively a gatheilng of laboring men
Thpy were Jn a large majority In the crowd
that filled the hall , nnd signified their Inter
est In the campaign by the hearty npproba-
, tlou that they accorded the numerous
speeches. W. I. Klcrstcad presided and E.
J , Cornish was Introduced as the first speaker.
Mr , Cornish fired some very hot shot , at the
fusion candidate- for mayor and vigorously
assailed his pcilon In Bacrlilrlng the Intercsta
of the people whom ho was sent to Lincoln
to represent- order to further his personal
ambition to be mayor of Omaha. He showed
how Senator Howell had assisted to displace
Senator Evans In dcllauee of the will of the
"people as expressed at the polls solely be
cause the populists had demanded that JcIT-
coat should bo seated as n condition precedent
to a. populist endorsement of HaweU's can
didacy for mayor. The speaker declared
that Howell stood convicted In the hearts of
the , people of having violated his oath of
office by doing what he knew was not Hunt.
Ho had sold Jils vote In the state scnato fern
n populist endorsement , nnd now ho had the
audacity to. come before the people of Omaha
und ask for their endorsement of his action.
Ho contended that when Howell had given
an ofilcu that paid $300 In return for the
populist endorsement , ho had committed as
gra vo a crime as though ho had paid the
omuunl In canh for the panto support. Mr.
CornlstU also ylgoioutdy denounced tha action
of Unwell and his associates In regard to
the fire and police commlsrlon and called
on tlu > voters of the city , lmlcpen < l nt of
their political preferences , tn declare against
tliln effort to carry the saloons and the fire
tiiul police departments Into polities.
MOOKCS' SUBSTANTIAL GENEROSITY.
Mr. Klorstrad eyoko briefly , referring for
the most part to the candidacy of Mr. Moores.
He told Biweral stories of Incidents that had
comn lo his Knowledge of the substantial as-
alstanc < \ ( lint , Mr , Moores had given to poor
families In their time of ncccl and of the
tact that.lui had used to prevent those whom
ho had BEblstrd from feellnn that they were
the subJfMs bf charity. In regard to the
chargox ngaliut iMr. Mootos , In connection
Mllh the""dirlct ( ( court clerkship , Mr. Kler-
etead showed that they were entirely un
founded , He detailed the differences that
existed . . -between the county and
Mr , .Moores , nnd stated that the
( . -county authorities admitted that they
owed Mr. Moores a largo sum In
excess of the amount they claimed from him ,
Mr..Vpqrcgjiaf tried to have the matter ad-
judlcatcd a long tlmo ago , but the county
commloslonerB had delayed , hoping to compel
air. iMoorcs to bring suit against the county
for the amount < lue him. and thus allow the
county to be on the defensive.
Olty Attorney Conn oil was then Introduced
end made an effective appeal for the entire
* re-jJubllcah ticket , He took up the record of

Howell And his confederates In the legislature
at length ami showed how they had Mcrl-
flced the exposition bill and every other In
terest that .the people of Omaha were Inter
ested In , In order to force the Omaha public
officials out of office and clear the decks BO
that he and bis colleagues might find lucra
tive offices waiting for them when they came
home. They talked of economy but the facts
were that they had Increased the salary of
every office which they expected to have for
themselves , and cut the salaries of those
offices that they did not want. Moro than
that they were now pushing a bill which pro
vided for a municipal court In Omaha. This
was to consist of three judges , a clerk , three
bailiffs , and three stenographers with a to
tal salary list of $16,600 a y ar. This was
an outrage on the taxpayers as this court
was to take the burden from 1he district
court which was supported by the stale. The
Omaha taxpayers paid their proportion of the
cost of the district court and under .the . pro
posed law they would bo called on to pay the
entire cost of the adjudication that should
bo done by the district court.
Short speeches were made by Olty Clerk
Hlgby , Comptroller Wcstbcrg , Treasurer Ed
wards , Judge Gordon , Ernest Stuht. Fred J.
Sackett and Charles Unltt. Mr. Unltt pro
duced copies of the records of the city coun
cil which showed that when he was a mem
ber of that body Mr. Howell had evadMl
going on record on Important questions by
being conveniently absent when they were
to be considered. Ho declared that a man
who did not have the moral courage to vote
one way or the other on a question was not
fit to bo the mayor of a city llko Omaha.
HOT SHOT AOAIXST IIO\VI3M. .
Hciiulillcnn AViiril MoolliiK ToucliCK Up
the Plotter mill UN AliU * .
The Second Ward Republican club held a
meeting at Kcsslcr's hall last night which
brought out a largo audience of representa
tive ward men. W. W. Bingham , president
of the club , took the chair and Introduced
as the first speaker , J. C. Wharton. Mr.
Wharton reviewed .the publjc career of
Frank E. Moores and also 'those of the
various other candidates on the city ticket.
HU speech was received With frequent
cheers. I. R. Andrews was next Introduced.
The speaker confined himself mainly to a
discussion of the grounds Upon which Howell
and his best aide , Ransom , had ventured to
make a plea for public favor. Referring to
the work of these two mem at Lincoln , the
speaker said that Omaha and Douglas county
had never- been so poorly represented at a
tlmo when the city and territory needed It
the most. Instead of applying their energies
to a favorable presentation of the Transmls-
slsslppl Exposition project , they had lost
sight of the Interests of the people and had
followed perconal advancement by pushing
through the city charter. That a reorganlza-
tlon of the city offices was but a plan for
Ransom and Howell to seek political plums
was self-evident to any fair minded thinker.
It now only remained for the people to turn
down the schemers at the coming election ,
and this , the speaker felt , was already as
sured.
In connection with The Bee expose of the
gambling deal , Mr. Andrews gave the seek
ers after public favors several hot shots ,
which were received with wild enthusiasm
by the audience. That the popocrats should
put In so much time hi mud slinging against
the republican nominees , the speaker as
serted , would bear fruit to their detriment
at the polls. The fact that The Bee had
printed a complete statement of the
gambling combine which It had afterwards
proved should bo sufficient reason for every
honest voter to cast his vote for honest
men , and not encourage political plotting In
designing politicians.
Short speeches were also made by J. E.
Van Glider and W. W. Bingham along the
saino lines.

as presiding officer , and Introduced George
Bertrand as the first speaker. Mr. Bertram !
occupied the greater portion of his time In

Moorcs In the audience , and the attack upon

Small Fusion
A handful of the fuslpnlsts of the Sixth
word mc-t at Twenty-fourth and Grant
streels last night to listen to speeches from
a number of the candidates. Ed P. Smith
urged the record madw by the party In
the Jeglfllature as the best reason why the
city ticket should be elected , Ho said
Howell had been mainly Instrumental In
passing Urn new charter und hence ho ought
to bo rewarded by being made mayor.
D , Clem Deaver talked about the candi
dates. He tried to eay something nice about
all of them , but It was a pretty difficult
Job and his oratorical .efforts were rather
painful. A number of the councllmanlc
candidates were present and they were pa-
reded for the edification of the few spectator

South Omaha News.
Some members of iho city council appear
to think that the ordinance Introduced a
short tlmo ago providing for the vacation
of a largo tract of land In the northwestern
part of the city Is loaded , consequently
they -hesitate , about taking any action 'In
the matter. It Is feared that iho request ,
which was made ostensibly by the sugar
beet factory people , Is only a scheme of 'the '
South Omaha Land company lo throw Its
land over there back Into acre property and
thus reduce the taxes.
Ex-Mayor Johnston addressed tlio mem
bers of the council on the subject and gave
them to Understand that the land was to
bo occupied by a beet sugar .factory. A few
of the city officials arc Inclined to look with
suspicion on any scheme * which Is fathered
by Johnston , but In this matter ho asserts
that ho Is sincere. The superintendent of
the new factory has also addressed -the coun-
cllmen on the matter , end Is apparently
acting In good faith. Ed Johnston Is local
agent for the South Omaha Land company ,
and when asked about the matter yesterday
said that the sugar factory was going to
locatd on the blocks mentioned In ithe ordi
nance , and emphatically denied that there
was any scheme In the deal. As far aa re
ducing the taxes was concerned , Mr. John
ston asserted that the taxes on the lots up
there were only a trifle higher than on acre
property In the Immediate neighborhood ,
and that there would bo no object In having
the land vacated for that purpose. The rec
ords. In the office of the city treasurer will
back him up In this statement as to the
taxes. Mr. Johnston said.
The council has no desire < to block any
plan that will benefit the city , but It doesn't
want to be taken In by any scheme.
Price ofMeat GolnRT Up.
Owing to a scarcity of beef cattle the packIng -
Ing houses have raised the price of dressed
meats. Cattle are now selling at from
CO to 75 cents per 100 pounds higher than ! a
month ago , which brings the price of dressed
beef up to $1.50 for 100 pounds. On account ol
the raise In the wholesale prices the local
butchers have been compelled to put up the
retail price. Prime rib roasts and loin
steaks have gone up 2 ' ,4 cents per pound
and may go higher any day. Pork has also
gone up.itho packers having raised the whole
sale price 2 % cents a pound , 'and'the'butchers '
were compelled to raise the retail price
just that much , i < <

Ground at the stock yards has been pre
pared for the big addition to the sheep barn ,
and some of the material arrived yesterday.
As soon as the lumber pomes a. large force

permit. Heavy shipments of sheep are ex
pected from the western and northwestern
ranges before long.

The fiielontet combination haa , flrcd Its
only gun at the republican battlements and
the result has been most discouraging to the
nmbltloua gunners who had. expected , that
the uliot would shatter the fortifications.
The attack on Frank E. Moorcs. republican
candidate for mayor , with Its surplusage of
double-leaded typo and Ita paucity of facie ,
lias been largely discounted In advance , and
In the light of the facts subsequently
elicited It elands revealed as an uupcrupu-
lous deception made to servo a personal and
political malice. The fair nnd Induaputablc
statement of the facto ns made by Colonel
Moorcs before several ward meetings has
mtlsfled' wavering republicans , and many
who had taken stock In the slanderous
stories have become his enthusiastic sup
porters. In the face of the attacks th re
publican lines have been rapidly fllllnc up
arid the campaign managers arc now assured
that there will' bo no split In the party. The
commltteemcn at the headquarters In the
Hcllman block nnd that the party sentiment
Is crystallizing dally. The reports received
from tho'varlous wards show that the ward
meetings arc largely attended and marked
that Is exceptional
by a degree of enthusiasm
tional in off years. The. meetings held
Wednesday were- particularly encouraging
anrf they will bo kept up every night during
the remainder of the campaign.
Ono of the considerations that operates to
solidify the republican party Is.thp prospect
of maladministration of the affairs of the
Flro and Police commission in caeo Howell
becomes mayor of Omaha. The .taxpayers
are overwhelmingly In laver of a .commission
that Is nbn'partlson In practice na.wcll , as In
name. After having- finally brought about a
reform in that rcspict Ihey do not propose
to have all "that has be n accomplished nega
tived by turning the flre , end police depart
ments over to any partisan machine.
OPPOSE A POLITICAL , BOSS.
The best citizens realize that If Howell Is
elected the lire and police departments will
bo dominated by an unscrupulous political
With the election of Colonel Moores the
republicans will have.but one representative
on the board , but ho could.chcck all attempts
to use the police for partisan ends.
Chairman E. J. Cornish of the city central
committee has announced the executive com
mittee as follows : First ward , F. K. Dar
ling ; Second ward , Fxed Hoye : Third ward ,
Tom .McVlttlc ; Fourth > ward. W.B. White-
born ; Fifth ward , C. A. Ask with ; Sixth ward ,
Theodore Johnson ; Seventh ward , C. L.
Chaffce ; Eighth ward , 1C. S. Fisher ; Ninth
ward , Charles Unltt.
While It Is apparent that the campaign
will bo largely fought on the mayoralty , the
councllmanlc contests are considered almost
equally important. It Is plain that the dem
ocrats propose to. bend all their energies
to the election of Howell and five councilmen -
men , and the republicans propose to head
thorn off on both propositions. The repub
lican councilman ! ticket Is exceptionally
strong , while the fusion candidates , with one

COUNCIL-MANIC CONTEST.
The petition candidates are not expected
to cut any material figure in the flght. O'Mal-
ley and Prince are lout with the admitted
Intention of defeating Burmester , but neither
of them htvo any support outside of the
Third ward. H. C. Betterman's Independent
candidacy In the Sixth la known to be In
stigated by J. II. Wlnspear , and Karr's
friends arc not losing any sleep over It.
Tom Crocker of the Eighth has a popular
opponent In F. J. Burkley , but his frlenda
arc confident that he will be elected. A
number of taxpayers who are personally
friendly to Burkloy have stated that they
proposed to vote for Crocker , as he has only
been allowed to aervo three months of the
tlmo for which ho waa elected , while
Burkley wab now a candidate for a third
term. Bingham and Flynn ore both making
a hot campaign for re-eleotlon from the
Second ward , and the Indications are that
Bliigham will cut heavily Into the natural
democratic majority in the ward. In the
other wards Binghara Is conceded to bo the
stronger candidate and his friends arc con.
fident that he will be elected by a decisive
majoi Ity.

of the city now stand there Is only enough In
the Intersection fund to pave one or two
Intersections , and It any paving Is to bfc
done before the exposition the Intersection
bonds must bo carried.
