The regular weekly meeting of the nighth Wurii Republican club Tucatlny night re tolted liHcIf Into a demonstration In favor of Mayor Frank K. Moorrn unil the repub lican ticket from top to bottom. A dozen or morn gpcochoH were mnilc; each was rtplcto with expressions of harmony and ciithimlanm. ' Mayor Moore occupied a front acnt. When celled upon ho delivered wh.U hla frlendH hay who one of the bent upcecht of hla life, although he cnllcil It a plain talk. Ilo ei.llcd attcntlen of thn voter to tho ltti -IKirtnnco of repnblleaii supremacy In Omaha nnd In thn state of Nebraska. t'omlng down to local Ikhiich the mayor hpoko nl length of tho effect thla campaign nlli have upon the general situation In the nallon and urged republicans to Htand by the party colon. "I do not ask you to get out and huntlo for Frank K. Moore, but to hustle for tho Keod of the party In the future, and when 1 nay that, I mean the good of the jM-ople, the common ones Included. There i no man mi rich, t-o poor, ho black nor ho ragged that he cannot gain audience with me when ever he has anything to say. I am mayor tor no man nor no net of men, but I am nioi' of and for all Omaha and t will no rontlmio If I am re-elected, as I firmly bvllevc I Khali be. Wr.nl the 1'nrly In Win. "There Is no man of poHltlve character who has not made his enemies. 1 may have mine, but I harbor no Ill-will. I am a re publican and I want the party to win at all hazards. If I do say It myuelf. there Is no man In tho world who Iovch the republican party moro than your humble servant, Frank H. Moores. There Is no man bigger nor greater than IiIh party. The contlnua-t'ot- of populism In Nebraska Ih a public disaster and I tniHt republicans will ap preciate the Importance Of turning the state hack Into the column where It belongs." Then tho mayor told In happy vein some war stories, which were highly Interceding. Ho talked with reverence of tho old sol dier and modestly referrcil to tho fact that he, himself, belongs In that list. He was frequently Interrupted by applause and as ho took his seat many of his listeners crowded about him to nhako his hand. Hrlef talks were made by the following rardldatcH for tho council: Messrs, Hoye, (Anderson. Xlmman. Hascall, Christie, Karr, Trostler and Whltchorn. Other speeches were, mado by V. II. Klbourn. candidate for city clerk: John N. Westberg, candidate for city comptroller: fills llcnnlngs, can didate for city treasurer, and Fred J. Sack ott, candidate for tax commlMdnncr. Not In the recent history or the Klghth Ward club has there been a more enthu siastic meeting. The attendanco was largo nnd everybody seemed to havo buoyant hepes of a nweeplng victory March C. Each Breaker emphatically endorsed Mayor Moores and tho cntlro ticket, somo enter ing Into minute detnllH as to the generally ncknnwledged merits of the mayor's admin istration.

Wlthnell, an ex-mombor of tho stato legislature, wan nominated for comptroller and Mr. Ilurklcy was again ten dered tho aldcrmanlo nomination so posi tively declined by him tho day previous In his olllclal declination filed with tho city clerk. Mr. Ihirkley's change of heart eamo rvbout after turnout (solicitation on the part of close political friends, who sought to bolster up tho ticket with the additional strength believed to exist In Mr. Ilurkley's acceptance of tho nomination. The knowledge that nctlon would bo taken nt Tuesday night's meeting toward com pleting tho democratic city ticket brought out a full attendanco of members nf tho committee. Tho matter of tilling tho comp trollcrshlp vacancy was first taken up. Tho names of two candidates were presented Mr- Wlthnell and David U. Shanahan of the Second ward. Tho latter had a con fdderablo following, but only ono ballot was necessary to decide the contest, tho successful candidate receiving on this first htllot n majority of the voles. When It came to filling tho vacancy caused by tho declination of Mr. Hurkley a sur prise was sprung on tho meeting by tho an nouncement that Mr. Hurkley had been pre vailed upon to reconsider his nctlon and had consented at tho eleventh hour to continue ns n candidate. This Information was sub stantiated by n tallt over the telephone with Mr. Ilurklcy, who coiinented to make the race. Owing to his olllclal declination, hew over. It was necessary that ho bo nomi nated again and this was done unanimously. A eommlttco was dispatched to tho I'eter Cooper club, whero tho populist city cen tral committee was congregated, to report tho action of tho democratic cohorts. Tho populists woro deeply engrossed In consid eration of the municipal ownership problem vhen Chairman W. O. Gilbert, a member of the committee of notification from tho democrats, stated that ho had Important olllclal dispatches to deliver. Discussion of municipal ownership was temporarily aban doned, the I'eter Cooper club converted ltsalf Into tho populist city central commit ted with an ease that suggested well-oiled machinery and Chairman (lllbert reported what tho democrats had done.

To fay that W S. I'opplcton. tho fusion candidate for mayor, spoko to a crowded houso Tuesday night would not be saying as much as might appear at first Elance. since tho "house" was scarcely lamer than a regulation bedroom. Hut It was crowded. The little "apartment" at 320 South Fif teenth street was so congested In fact that tho adherents of I'oppletoti barely had room to applaud. Tho demo-I'oppletoti candidate was Intro duced as tho "man who mado the Issue of municipal ownership of waterworks," and the greater part f his remarks were devoted to this feature of tho campaign. He painted In glowing colors the good times that would ensue when tho title to the waterworks had pamrd to the city. Tho skeleton of corpor ate monopoly was dragged from its closet and rattled, and the audience was informed that Omaha Is In tho grip of financial and polltleul machines. "All this will be changed when I am elected mayor." he said, with cheerful assurance. "When I get lu thero you'll find tho poor man will recelvo the samo consideration at my hands that Is given tho banker and the capitalist.'' The chairman, I.ysle Abbott, Introduced CI. M. Hitchcock as "Our next United States senator," and the nudionco cheered. Hut when Mr. Hitchcock congratulated tho chair man upon his keen satire tho cheers were louder, showing that tho audlenco was not without Its appreciation of humor. Mr. Hitchcock made an anti-expansion speech, advocated pulling down tho American flag in the Philippines and closed with a few references to tho present local campaign. "I havo been accused of being cold, dis tant and aristocratic." ho said. "I have been told that I'm not a 'good fellow.' that I don't get out with the boys, and that often I don't know my friends when I pass them on tho street. I will admit that I'm short sighted. I have to wear my glasses on the street, and often I do pass my friends with out seeing them. And the same Is truo of my friend I'opplcton here. Wo aro both business men, not mixers. We ore not schooled In the art of patting men on tho back." The speaker announced that Frank J. Hurkley had reconsidered his determina tion to withdraw from tho aldcrmanlo. ticket of tho Klghth ward and that tho fusion cen tral committee had renominated him. Tho other speakers were K. T. Rutherford and I- J. Dunn. STUHT GETS ALL MIXED UP Klrat Wnriler Councilman Tries to Tll Ihe Vnlern Ilnw In Uet SiMiifthliiK for XothliiK, Tho stentorian voice of Brncst Stuht, In-depmdont-popullst vandldato for councilman from tho First ward, rang through the room In which tho I'eter Cooper club held Its regular weekly meeting Tuesday night. Tho eccentric councilman was striving to eluci date the hardest proposition ho had ever encountered and was floundering about as hopelessly as a bird with clipped wings at tempting to tly. Uiurio J. Qulnby, a young populist statesman who had Just returned from tho meeting of tho national populist committee at Lincoln, which he bad at tended as a proxy, and was consequently an Important personage In tho eyes of his popullstlo colleagues, had previously given utterance to a gigantic plan evolved in his j mind whereby tho peoplo should onjoy the privileges oi nil irnnciiiscn corporations, such as water, gas, electric light and street cars, without the payment of one cent. He nssertcd that "natural resources havo been monopolized," nnd argued that theso re sources should not bo used for tho financial gain of any franchlsed corporation. Mr. Stuht wus called upon to tell how tho peoplo could enjoy all theso advantages without paying for them. Nothing daunted, ho attempted the task. Ho wandered to subjects entirely foreign to the question nt Issue nnd usually recovered himself In Utmo to tell what he bad demo ns a member of tho council. Kven a recent colored convert to populism, who had been urging Stuht on by continuous shouts of npproval was growing tired. He looked nt a battered sil ver timepiece. Tho hour was 10:20, nnd Mr. Stuht was. figuratively speaking, sweat ing blood. At this moment, however, drowsy heads suddenly straightened up. A noise of shuttling feet was heard in tho hall and soon W. S. I'opplcton, accompanied by two or thrco of hla political subjects, entered tho room. Tho tardy appearance of tho fu- ' slon candidate for tho mayoralty afforded Councilman Stuht a loophalo for escape. Ho closed his disjointed, rambling remarks with one of his characteristic perorations, laud ing Mr. l'opploton far abovo tho clouds, and Bank Into his chair exhausted. Candidate I'opplcton wns enthusiastically received ns he walked to tho chairman's desk. Thero ho made sure of his bearings by asking Ted Morrow, the presiding olllcor, "Is this tho I'eter Cooper I'opullst club?" Hclng assured that he had not lost his way nor strayed Into hoatllo territory. Mr. Top pleton launched Into his speech, after excus ing his tardiness. Municipal ownership of tho waterworks system and n denunciation of tho republican city administration were the burden of his plea. Ho struck a respon se o chord In his papullstlc audlcnca when ho declared In favor of Initiative and refer endum nnd tho right of eminent domain.

"Tho scare that arose some time slnco oer tho backward Ico weather was abated when W. S. I'opplcton was nominated for mayor," said a democrat, at present en gaged in supporting him only through strong partisan zeal. "I had occasion to hold u confcrcnco with Mr. I'oppletoti on campaign affairs nnd was with him for some time. I met him a few minutes since on the street and was disgusted to discover that ho did not know me. Havo you noticed his attempts to mix nt the fusion meetings? Ilo Invites every man present to meet him, and when tho meeting is over ho stolidly shakes hands with thoso who present themselves. It Is done In a frigid, buslnessdlko way, without a smile or a pleasant word, and a minute later tho memory of tho new acquaintance is for gotten forever. There Is no geniality, cordiality or apparent sincerity In such a greeting, and I am afraid It Is going to have a decisive efTect upon tho result when ho gets out against a man who naturally manifests such a cordial spirit of comrade ship as docs Mayor Moores. It comes natural with Moores to bo genial, friendly and sympathetic, and these qualities in a public olllclal appear with Irresletiblo force to tho common people. Laboring men do not overlook a tendency on tho part ot thoso who ask their support to overlook them In every day life, and 1 am afraid wo can never wipe, out the prejudice bound to exist against such a man, even though tho fault be natural with him, by lining him up to shako hands In a bored sort of way with tho boys." "Not that it makes any particular differ ence, but merely to conserve tho integrity of political history." remarks M. I). Karr of the Sixth ward. "I wish you would correct tho figures on the vote on councilman at tho recent republican primaries, which was somehow reportod erroneously. My vote was 477 agalaat 20g for Carr Axford." It In an Inspiration to attend a meeting of the republican city committee any evening when reports nre being received from tho representatives of tho various wards. Tho universal expression is that the effect ot tho recent convention, whcroln hitherto con tending factions which have been at war were tendered Just representation on tho ticket, has wiped out all factionalism and has started nil republicans out to battle for the cntlro ticket. Tho committee Is doing everything In its power to aid tho healing process so favorably beguu. Tho members of tho populist city commit tee nre Indignant because tho Jncksonlnn club snubbed Candidate Stuht at the meet ing Saturday night. The matter was dis cussed in a decidedly critical spirit at the meeting of the populist eommlttco Monday. Candidate Stuht was present at tho Jack sonlan club Saturday, as were a number of populists, and Just as tho meeting wns draw ing to u close some one called for him. Thero was a general call for Stuht at once, but In order to shut off his nppearanco Pres ident Ed Smith declared tho meeting ad journed. Members of tho populist commit tee say they will see that Stuht is allowed to speak nt fusion meetlngB, or they will know the reason why. There doesn't appear to bo very much to the populist campaign Just now but Stuht and they expect to see that he gets a fair shake wherever the dem ocrats pay rent. It wan very kind In Candidate I'opplcton In closing his speech Monday evening to in vite nny ot bis audlenco who desired to look nt him or talk to him to call at his office In the First National bank, and It was certainly assuring to learn from his own Hps that he no longer had railings or bars around him to keep any ono away. When tho Iron fence was removed or the bars were taken down, or how soon after tho election they will be replaced, was not made known. Ono of tho candidates for councilman In the north end of the city Is learning what Infinitesimal ovents can sometimes bo fraught with ponderous consequences. Some time ago a voter of his own party was sell ing something In a house-to-house canvass. Ho rapped at tho front door of tho candi date's home, and when tho mistress of the houso opened the door and bluntly Informed him that she did not want to buy anything tbnt day, and Invited him to shut tho gato yhen ho went out, ho took tho hint, but ho has treasured it up against the candi date from that day to this, and Is now try ing to even up by working against that candidate. MAYOR MOORES IN THE SIXTH Ituunliift Ovation In Tenilercit Ihe HcMd of Ihe Ticket nnd Other Cuiiillilnten. Sixth ward republicans turned out In full forco Tuesday night to a moetlng nt Twenty fourth and Franklin streets, which -was largely attondod and In which enthusiasm prevailed from start to finish. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the meeting adjourned, owing to the late arrival of speakers who had been detained at a meeting In tho Eighth ward. Among tho speakers was Mayor Moores. Ho talked republican doctrine, not only from n local standpoint, but branched out on a national basis, and set forth tho Impor tance of republican municipal victory as an Index as to what Is to come In tho general election. The mayor urged concerted parly action nnd declared hluiHelf In favor of re publican supremacy regardless of Individual feeling. He expressed tho opinion that nny man who Is a true republican Is good enough for him, and bo advised other re publicans to tako the same view- ot the situation. Mayor Moores was loudly ap plauded, being Interrupted at frequent In tervals, and nt tho conclusion of his speech nn Impromptu Iovee -was held with his friends. Candidates for council from tho various wards nnd others made brief talks. Among the other nominees who spoke wore: W. II. Klbourn, John N. Westberg, Fred J. Sackett and Ous Hennlngs.
