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.
The Sixth Word club now has a member
ship that Is growing dally. I, a. Darlght
Is president and F. C. Craig secretary. More
than eighty members are now on the roll
ind It la expected that this number will be
Increased to 200 by the next meeting. An

DRUMMERS ARE FOR M'KINLEY
Traveling Men Meet and OrRnnlr.o n
Club tn Favor of the Itc
pnbllcnn Candidate,
Sovcnty-flve traveling men met In the
republican headquarters at tho Her Grand
hotol last night and effected a preliminary
organization to bo known as the Omaha
branch of tho McKluloy and Roosevelt
Traveling Men's club. Clarenco Clore was
chosen as chairman and H. 0. Fredericks
ns secretary. Next Saturday another
meeting will bo held, when the organlza
tlon will bo perfected.
Similar clubs nro now being formed in
Beatrice, Norfolk, Lincoln, Kearney, Grand
Island nnd Hastings. When all aro com
plete delegates will be eluded from each
ta attend a convention nt Lincoln, whero
a central organization will be formed, to
adopt constitution nnd by-laws nnd map
out n plan of campaign for the branch
orders.
'Any traveling man who travels in Ne
braska is eligible) to membership tn one of
thi30 branch clubs," said a momber last
night, "but ho can belong to only one of
them. 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. Connor and Oeorgo Wntkln.

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.

Mr. Stevenson has boon tho friend and

tho St. Louis convention four years ago
and walked out of that body with Sen
ator Teller. A few extracts from tils
lotter will explain tho causes for his
change nt this time.
After reciting tho history of tho birth
and purposes of tho party he Bays:
1 hero Is now no hope In fact, no pre
tense, that the party can live beyond the
present campaign, nnd 1 do not believe It
possible, to assist thn ratisn nf lilmetiilllMtn

In almost ovcry vocation specialty work Is now called for and demanded. This Is
notably true whn life or health Is Involved. It Is then that tho best treatment
the medical profession affords Is sou; lit after, and this can come only from
the truu specialist, whose deep knowledge, expert skill, vast experience una
thorough scientific equipments hav given him complete nustery over the diseases
that constitute his specialty.
Whatever may be your aliment, get help from one who has made such cases a spe
cial study. If your eyesight Is falling go to a reliable optician or occultst. If
your hearing is defective consult a competent aurlst. If a bad tooth Is distress,
ing you eneacc the skill of a dentist. Or if you nro burning with fever or shak
ing with chills, toll your troubles to a family physician. They can do more good
than I can, for I do not treat such complaints, nor pretend to euro them.

Thero Is no time to lose, lmpotency. llko 411 sexual diseases, Is never on the stand

ASSOeiME
In curing an aliment of any kind I never fall to removo all reflex complications or as
HOiiate dlseares.
Tf the caxe Is Varicocele, the weakness caused by it disappears.
If It Is urinary trouble which haw developed Into Prostratlc, IJIadder or Kidney nffec
tlons, tho Injured nrgani are all restored to a perfectly healthy condition.
If It Is acquired Illood Poison, nnd all Skin, Hlood and lior.e Plseasci arlslna
from tho taint are entirely and permanently ellmlnnted from the system.
If It Is Nervous Debility, the many distressing symptoms following In Its train and
Indicating n premature decline of physicnl and mental powers are totally removed
and rapidly replaced by tho youthful energy of robust manhood.
Hence all resulting ills and reflex complications, which may bo properly termed as
sociate illseanes nnd which, In fact, are often more serious than ir.o original ull
ment that gives rlso to thcm-nll, I say, disappear completely and forever with the
cure nf Ihe. main malady ,,.,. ..!
