An Interesting meeting of tba Sixth Ward Republican club was held at Idlcwlld ball. Twenty-fourth and Spruce. ntrects, last night. Tho featuro of tho meeting wm a tirade against the administration of Mayor Moore, emitted by an attornoy ,who goes by tho name- of A. E. Walkup. Walkup claimed to belong to the First ward nnd tba members of tho club wero kind enough to permit him to apeak, sup posing that ho would talk on national or state issues, but In this they were disap pointed. After a few preliminaries Walkup announced that ho would confine himself to alleged Irregularities In the administration of municipal affaire and started off: "I chargo without fear of contradiction that thero are dishonesty and corruption In the police department of Omaha. I do not nay that It extends to the rank and flic, for I think honest men patrol the streets, at least so mo of them aro honest, but there are corruption and Iniquity In tho heads of departments not paralleled In Now Vork or Philadelphia. What I may nay may lead the people on to mako an Investigation In order that a remedy may bo applied." Walkup then went on to tell about' lot of his petty grievances and what a hard time, he bad of It trying to make a living around tho police court. Ho laid all the blarao on Captain Her, Captain Ilaycti and Sergeant Wciscnbcrg. In telling about the cruel treatment prisoners received, Walkup averted that prisoners were placed In n cell about 10x12 feet square, with a cement floor. No chairs, tables, fenther beda or other conveniences wero supplied and tho poor prisoner had a hard tltno of it trying to get a little Bleep on tho soft sldo of the flooring. Then followed various talcs of woo, In which .Mr. Walkup ilgured as a (specialist whoso Ufa function It Is to get certain unfortunates out of Jail for a fee, but lu this he was prevented by tho hard hearted, unwarranted Interference of Cap tuln Her and hla subordinated. Walkup had evidently been turned down by habitues of tho pollco court, for ho com plained that ho was not pormltted to seo certain prisoners who had tho cash to pay for a lawycr'u services. In this contention ho asserted that certain attornoys wero favored by tho pollco, whllo ho was turned away from tho door. Cnllctl a Unit on AVnlkap. It took Mr. Walkup Just an hour to tell nil hla troubles and unless he had been called down he probably would havo been talking yry. Captain Woods, ono of the veteran members of tho club, lntorruptod tho speaker long enough to say that the meeting of tho club was for tho purposo of listening to good republican argument nnd assisting In carrying Nebraska for McKlulcy und not to allow a Jacklcg law ycr to air his potty grievances. Mr, Walkup seomod inclined to tako tho hint ut tho tlmo, but after apologizing for taking up so much tlmo ho launched Into u fresh tirado against V. I). Walker, but this kind of talk did not last long, ns tho members of tho club became, tired and tho president in rcsponso to calls from tho crowd asked Kdward Hosowater, who was nlttlng in tho rear of tho hall, to coma forward and mako n fow remarks. Mr. ltosowator was greeted with hearty applauso und without taking up any time in preliminaries Btntcd that Mr. Walkup had In meetings hold in other wards openly charged him with being In collusion with pollco officials In certain allogcd scan dnlous matters. Theso statements Mr. Kosewater branded as palpublo falsehoods and with no foundation In fact. As tin Il lustration ho took ono. of tho casoa cited by Walkup and showed conclusively that tho man nrrosted mado his living from fallen women and that his supposed wife, over whom Walkup had shed so many tears, was an Inmato of a houso of prostitution. In explaining this case- Mr. Iloscwater said that ha had personally investigated tho complaint. Tho crowd cheered nt this and Walkup s discomfiture was evident. Then Mr. Hosowater took occasion to ay that this man Walkup had visited several ward club meetings with a slm liar talo and had seen lit to connect him personally with theso alleged pollco out rages. Walkup was scored to a turn and every tlmo n tolling hit was mado by the speaker those present ovlnced their pleas uro by chocrs and cries of "Go on." AVulknii Inclined lu CrinvlUli. At tho conclusion of Mr. Itosewatcr's address Mr. Walkup aroso to remark that he bad never maligned Mr. Hosowater In an address boforo tho First Ward club, neither had ho charged him with being in collusion with pollco olllcials or gam biers. Mr. Hosewatcr replied that ne had It from no less authority than tho president and one of tho prominent members of tho First Ward club that such was tho caso. Then Walkup tooit water and backed down as gracefully sir the circumstances would por mlt. Mr Ucsewatcr told him lu the prcs enco of the club that If thero was any foun dation for his complaints he had redress by applying to the courts or the Flro nnd Pollco commission. Walkup then, speaking for tho entire FIrfct ward, asserted that no candldato would be Indorsed for momber of tho legislature who would not pledge- himself to support a 'bill for tho olectlon of a pollco commission and other appointive officers. This statement raised a smile on tho faces of theso present especially as Walkup talked as if ho carried tho entire vote of tho First ward in his vest pocket. Mr. Itosewater stated that Mayor Moorcs Is now absent from tho city, but Mr. Karr is acting mayor, and that If he had any grievance with a foundation of fact am the acting mayor and the pollco commis sloncrs declined to give him a proper hear Ing that he would do eo, If tho matters were presented to him. In concluding bis remarks Mr. Hosewatcr upolto of the lasutd at stake, of the national campaign and urged unity In tho ranks of the republicans, Word from fifth Ward. n. W. Hlchardson, president of tho Fifth Ward Hepubllcan club, was a visitor and by request of President Dnrlght made a fow remarks, confining himself to tho com ing national campaign and evoking con ilderablo enthualaem.

Tho purposo of the organization Is to work for tho election of McKlulcy and Roosevelt." Thl In a. nrcsldentlal vcar. but how many voters at tho polls know tho names of The presidential electors for whom they cust their ballots? They know that they are voting for men who, it elected, will cast their votes for this or that candldato tor president, but the names on tbo electoral ticket have almost lost their significance. At tho same time each political party In making nominations for presidential elec tors exercises caro not only to secure rep resentative men for theso positions, but to have them so distributed geographically and by nationality as to bring as much Indi vidual strength to tho ticket as Is possible under tho conditions. Going back over tho history of Nebraska tho list of names that have appeared on tho electoral tickets re calls many Interesting personalities who have figured in tho political anuals of tho commonwealth. Nebraska's first participation In a presi dential election was that of 1888, the year after Its admission into tho union. Only two tickets wero In tho fleld ono for Grant and Colfax and the other for Seymour and Ulair. Nebraska at that time had only one member of congress, nnd therefore was en titled to only threo votes in the electoral college. Tho candidates for electors on tho republican ticket were T. M. Marquet, Lewis Allgowahr and J. F. Warner; those on tho democratic ticket wero James G. Megcnth, J. A. Hellmann and Vino Kummer. In 1R7S thn rirmhllcitn electors for Grant and Wilson wero S. A. Strickland, Otto Funko and II. u. Heist, wntie tno uemo rrntlo electors for Horace Greeley and II. Oratz nrown wero John A. Crelghton, 0. P. Mason and ono Foster, wnoso nrst name nas not even been recorded. In 1876, during the Hnycs-Tllden contest, the electors an the republican ticket were S. A. Strickland, Amnsa Cobb and A. H. Connor, whllo the democratic doctors were S. II. Calhoun, St, John Goodrich and M. C. Keith. Some votes were cost for the Peter Cooper ticket, but the names of tbo electors aro not accessible. In 1880 Nebraska voters were again given an opportunity to choose between three sets of electoral tlckots. Tbo three presidential candidates were the republican, for Garfield and Arthur; tho democrnt, for Hancock aud English; the greenback, for Weaver and Chambers. The successful Garfield electors were J. M. Thurston, 0. W. Collins and James Laird. The Hancock electors were J, E. Iloyd. Victor Vlfqualn nnd D. I, Hln man. The Weaver electors were H. G. Cass, W. W.

WILL TALK AS MUCH AS EVER llrynit IleoldcK Tlint lie Will Hciirnt Ills Oratorlunl I'erform unces of '(HI. CHICAGO, Aug. 11. W. J. llryan's visit to Chicago has practically rosultcd In an understanding that ho will travel almost as much during tha present campaign as ho did tn 1896. Tho first inclination on his part was to avoid the making of many speoches this year, but there has been such general prcssuro that it Is understood that he la tucllned to yield and visit many parts of tho country. No positive promise for participation In tho campaign has been made for other states other than Now York, but tho probabilities are that he will go from that stato to Marylnud, where there appears to bo great anxiety for his uppcarnnco. After that tlmo he Is likely to mako qulto a general tour of tho north Mississippi valley states, In cluding Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, etc. No authorized statement has been given out to this effect, but there is no doubt that this is tho presont tendency; that indeed tho plan Is practically decided upon, lu Now York It Is expected that Mr, Dryan will speak only In tho larger cities. Tho silver republicans originally ex pected to notify Mr. Hryan ut tholr nomi nation of him for the presidency at the samo tlmo that tho populists make their notification at Topeka, Kan., August 23, but this purposo has been changed. Tholr notification will como later and tho prob abilities aro that it will bo mado at St. Paul or Minneapolis. T. M. Patterson of Denver will mako the speech notifying Mr. Dryan of tho populist nomination, at Toyekn.
