The republican state t o.iitnliteemcn. in
the city to attend the meeting ot the cen
tral body Wednesday night, brought la such
reports from their neighborhoods that the
committee officials hae' mentally added
tome hundreds to their estimate of McKtn
ley's majority In Nebraska The commit
lecmen have endeavored above all thins
to be ronservatue and their figure are
horn of any element of speculation.
"Cass coun'y has always stood by th
republican presidential andldaie.'' re
marked State Comralltei-tnan M. M. IJ'itler
ot Wceplag Water. ' and a careful ca ivass
t,hows that we ll do Just a little better this
time than usual. McKlnley won four years
go wMi a margin of 170 and we figure Itt-
lead this year at 30. There hhvc been a
number of republican salmi right In my
neighborhood that I know about personally.
There are about 500 Herman votes In the
rountv and I have rcasou to know that
noni ot them have been affected by the
rcarecrow of imperialism. i-'erretar ot

"Bryan's old majority of 610 In Saunders
county will took a Rood deal different this
year," remarked State Committeeman
Horace M. Clark of Ithaca. 1 "cores of
democratic desertions m McKlney have
been reported to tn, but that Is an old story
and we arc simply sawing wood ami not
prophesying much about the outcome. We
bavo the best local ticket for county at
torney, commissioner and lefilslature In the
field that was ever nominated and their per
tonal Influence Is counting for much. We
believe we can see a Rain our way of 200
votes, and I believe the outcome In the
county will Just about be a standoff."

600. "We find the populist farmers all ready
to listen to us this year, while four years
go they wer simply deaf to all argument.
Many have confessed their Intention of vot

more about that along early In November.

Among the visitors to St. Louis during

maker herself. Mrs. Graham knows a thing
or two about politics in her own town,
county and state and has seen and heard
and talked with the peerlesa leader, Mr.
Bryan. Her Impressions of these are plc
turoique and Instructive.
"Most ot bis home people are tired ot Mr.
Bryan," said Mrs. Graham to a St. Louis
Globe-Democrat reporter, "for he has made
himself loo cheap and common running
about to fairs, picnics and such places. In
my town there Is a population of less than

He never forgets to visit tne school bouse

tells them who he is and Intimates that if
they are good they may some day be as
great as he Is. While he was iu Papllllon
he spoke from a platform adjoining our har-
ness shop and I had quite a tilt with hlni
while he was speaking and I got more ap-
rlause than he did when I closed by telling
h.m he could thank God for good crops, but
he must thank McKlnley for the good prlcei.
when corn Is selling for S2 cents a bushel
when it only brought 9 cents a bushel a short
four years ago. Mr. Bryan did not like my
interruption, but the crowd enjoyed It.
"Mr Bryan Is running around making
half a dozen speeches every day and the
voters are rettluc tired of hlra. We hear
much about the candidate's personal popu
- .
larity, but I do not Wilnk he is popular.
People still look upon him as something In
the Hue of a freak or sideshow and when
they consider him seriously they find there
Is very little to the man. I am not & poli
tician, but a working woman with a trade,
but I know that during the four years of tbli
administration tne country and the country
people have teen prosperous and I believe In
trying uo experiments in the matter of w
ernment.
"I have seen Mr. Bryan clad In a worn
and shabby suit ot gray clothes, with a
shabby gray slouch hat pulled down over
his eyes and with a red handkerchief tied
about bis neck, when he came to our town
to speak to farmers, and when he got awav
from the farmers he bad other clothes ready
and then made himself look like a gent'.,

own a farmer would not have th" .gh him

Hess has a natural aversion as being re

tion has held numerous meetings and has
endeavored to place candidates In every
ward. The majority, ho far aa known, hat
not so far recognized Hct as a factor as
to offer organized opposition.
It U true that I am doing what I can
to break the present majority:" said Mr.
Hess yesterday, "and I have made an ef

officer and at the end of the year I propose
to enforce the collection of my Jl.SOO-salary,

The most prominent candidate mentioned
In the First ward is Mr. Steubendorf. a re

The Herman-American McKlnley and

Ing last nlfiht. which was addressed by W.
1'. Wappieh. who devoted his time to a dls-
cusslon of the Issues from an ex-democratlc
standpoint, "la 1S66." said the speaker,
"the republican party told us that tho
advance ni;ent of prosperity in tho person
of William McKlnley was on tho road, and
that with his election the mills, the shops
and the factories would returae business;
that the railroads would begin to increase
business and that idlt labor would be em
ployed. Many persons did not believe this,
but the republican party has demonstrated
the trt.th of its propositions. Prosperity
In hero and no one can deny tt. Four
years ago Mr. Bryan deplored the empty
dinner pall. Today he resents any refer
enco to the full dinner pall."
Sixty applications for membership were
received and acted upon by the club, which
completed lis fcesdlon by discussing the
proposed excursions to Millard and Elk
horn. th- dates of which will be announced
later.

OMAHA. Oct. 11. To the Editor of The
Bee: Mr. Bryan in one of his recent
speeches referred to Esau of biblical re
nown, who, as Mr. Bryan puts it, "sold his
birthright for a full dinner pall and has
been held In derision ever since."
Tho tnferenco that would most naturally
bo drawn from Mr. Bryan's question Is that
the laboring people, like Esau, have sold
their birthright in order to rccelvo a full
dinner pall of prosperity (the existence of
which Mr. Bryan has so persistently denied
up to thts timet.
Did the American people sell their birth
right In 1SS6 when they arose in their
might ami declared that the tlmo had ar
rived when an end should be put to the
scene of Idleness and Inactivity that 6pread
itself broadcast over the land?
Did the American people sell their birth
right when they ended tho democratic ten
ure of office and eleuted to the piesidency
a republican in the person of William Mc
Klnle. who sini- his Inauguration rn re-
appearance in Madison Square Garden next

feature of the meeting Is that Coekran will

In 1S9J, when Bryan mado his famous speech
oi acceptance in tne Garden, the sound
money men Immediately brought out Cock
ran to answer hlra at another big meeting
In the same place. But this year It Is an
nounced they are to speak from the same
platform. Republicans, of course, produce
extracts trom Cockran's speech of isqs to
populist agitation, this assault upon com-
mon honesty and upon Industry shall have
abated forever, the foundations of this re-
public will remain undisturbed.'" But there
I another Interesting tide to Mr. Cockran's
appearance at this meeting, it is to be. ot
course, a Bryan meeting, but it will also
b In a large sense a Croker meeting. For

It any doubt existed In the mind of a
single member ot the executHe committee
or advisory board ot the Omaha auditorium
company relative to the ultimate success ot
the gigantic project that has been under
taken such doubt was swept away by the
visit to Kansas City Wednesday. The mem
bers of the auditorium boards who returned
from Kansas City yesterday all agree that
It any inspiration was lacking tt was sup
plied in an abundance by reason ot this
visit.
The vUtt to Kansas Cit was made by
nearly nil of the members of the auditorium
company's cxecutUe committee and three of
the advisory board for the purpose of In
specting the big convention hall in that
city and gleaning some Information trom
the men who were associated In the build
ing ot Kansas City's great auditorium
that might be of advantage In the work of
raising funds for the building ot a similar
structure in Omaha.
"Thetrlp was lacking In nothing that
might have contributed to Its success."
said President F. E. Sanborn ot tho board
of directors. "We were all struck most
forcibly by the royal hospitality extended
us by Kansas City. The brand exhibited
us by the people of that city was away
above par. From the time we arrived
there Wednesday morning at 7 o'clock until
we left on our return home that night at
9 5i we were not left alone for a minute.
There was not a moment that we didn't
have something to see ur something to
hear. The committeemen delegated to
take care of us spent their entire time In
showing us the advantages of Kansas City
and in Impressing us with the fact that
they all stand as one man for the progress
ot that metropolis.
Auditorium Is Inspected.
"In the morning upon our arrival we
were taken lo the Baltimore hotel and had
breakt:.jt. remaining there for about an
hour and a half. Then the whole commit
tee went over to the Convention hall, which
is the name selected by popular vote for
the Kansas City auditorium. We were
there for all of two hours and the building
was Inspected thoioughly. Its manner ot
construction, i-cat, peculiar features of ad
vantage and the difficulties encountered In I
tno ouiiding ot tne second auauoriuiu n
j the short time were alt explained minutely.
"The many uses to which the hall has
I been put since tt has been ready for occu-
, pancy were explained and one great point
which struck all of us was the statement j
that the hall has been In such constant de- I
tcand since It has been nearly enough com
pleted for occupancy that there hasn't been
opportunity to finish It. About 23,0d0 yet
remains to te spent on It. A good portion
of this Is for interior work, such as fire
proofing. We were informed as a matter ot
business news that that hall has been a.
paying Investment outside Its great advan
tage to Kansas City. In the eight months
that the first convention hall stood the sum
of H -1.000 was netted.
"After Inspecting the convention hall we
.rnnt lo Ihn Pommf rplal clot rnnmc anil
' were entertained for about two hours. The
methods employed In raising the funds nec
essary for the building of the hall were
described. Our Informants wnt Into details
and told us how- much money was ralsej In
various cpar m nts and the amount cf work
that was expended. At our suggestion wc
wero advised as to the amount of tho shares
which we will havo for disposition. Mr.
Clendennlng. secretary of the Commercial
club and of tho Convention Hall Building
company, was particularly kind to us and
furnished all Information asked
"After dinner at tho Kansas City club we
were taken for a tallyho ride aoout the city
and were shown thp park and boulevard
systems and some of tho beauties of the
town. From f.ZO until J we were the guests
ot Mr. F. W. Kellogg at the Midland hotel,
where there was dinner, speech-making and
words of good cheer trom our hosts.
Pull if .NriT ldens.
"All of the members of the auditorium
company who went to Kansas City have
returned with new ideas. Theso will take
shape. I believe from the very start and '
the great good that will result from our
visit cannot be estimated Before the
majority of tho members favored a composite
building, an auditorium and a strurture
suitable for business purposes combined I i
think the ideas ot most of us :n that regard
have undergone a decided change. Wc were
advised not to try to mix business and com
mercial features with an auditorium, but
rather to build a great hall and keep It,
distinctly for, the purpose for which It was;
erected. We were Impressed with the fact
that the convention hall la Kansas City j
promises to be a splendid Investment In It
eelf. Our hosts told us if they had their
building to erect again they would not dc-
I crease its size, nor, indeed, make an?
material cnanes. tvansas uiry nas 6pent to
date 1240.000 on its hall, has $25,000 more
yet to spend, and the ground cost J50.000.
