Roman populace who will cheer with Brutus ana nowi wun Antbony, and those soldiers who exeneot to follow the fortune nf or the other of the leaders of the divided Roman army, will meet at the Crelghton hall for instruction In the art and mystery of how to act with Mansfield. One hun dred and fifty are required from the lgcal contingent to do the tnlng right, aud a stage manaaer from the reaular nriiniu. tlon will do the drilling. Many of the local support or Mr. Mansneld have already had experience In that line, having been trained by Mr. A. M. Palmer two yeara ago to bear themselves properly aa soldiers under Jovial Henry v oi Kngiana, ana for this- reason will all the more readily adapt themselves to the work they will have to do as Romans. Mr. maimer at that time said the Omaha aupe waa far ahead of the averara nf hi. class, and that be really added much to the artisiio eneci' oi tne production by hla in telligence.'

FACTS Kliamaa Helatea the Saddea Rlao la Valoo of a Weatera Tlaaber rialaa Other Political Meetlaca. More than 200 voters of the Second ward last night listened with pronounced evi dences of spproval to a long list ot repub lican apekera In a hall at 143 South Six teenth atreet. Enthusiasm for the Moores ticket waa at a high pitch. For the mayor himself there waa a splendid ovation last ing several minutes. The single blemish was one David Gilbert, a discharged city hall engineer, who, laboring under the Influ ence ot considerable liquor, created a dis turbance In the rear of the hall. Those who spoke were: Mayor Moores, City Treasurer Hennings, Assistant- City Attorney Adama, City Attorney Connell, W. J. Hunter, candidate for comptroller; Fred Brunlpg, candidate for tax commia aloner; Councllmanic Candidates ' Hoya, ZImman, Crawford and Evans;' A. O. Want- atrom, candidate for building Inspector; John Chubblck. president of tha Cigar Makers' union; W. I. Klerstead of the Fifth ward and Charlea S. Elgutter. "I am a friend of organized labor,!' said Mayor Moores, and his assertion, though bearing no news, brought forth a volley of applause. "I believe that men who- work should band together to secure Justice for themselves and to help themselves and to better their condition.' Laboring men who belong to unlona are under the right kind of a restraint, because if they are not what they ought to be In the more important par ticulars the unlona will aee - that ' they are. But, my friends, let me ask you first to seek arbitration and a peaceful settle ment In all your difficulties with employers. For Municipal Llghtlna; Plant. "It Is high time that the city of Omaha ahould own Its own electric light plant, as well as the water works and other public utilities. The water works question, as you know, haa been taken out of the hands of the mayor and council, but the acquisi tion of the others have not. "I want to say to you that if I am elected I hope to give you at the fall election an opportunity to vote on a 1500,000 bond lasue to decide whether we shall either build an electric light plant of our cwn or buy one. isam heartily in favor oTa, re duction In telephone rates. "I am for equal taxes and the lifting of the yoke of unfair taxea from the poor man, who, no matter how heavily he Is levied upon, steps up and pays hla taxea like an American cltiien, leaving It to the railroada and other rich corporationa to cringe and whine and do their best to ehlrk both In the courts and out. "I want a council that I can work with, men who will atand up for the people and will be an assistance to good goverment. During the next three yeara more Important questions are to come before the council than have for ten yeara past. If you want I councllmen that the, corporationa cannot control I tell you to vote for the repub lican ticket, and vote It straight from top to bottom." ' Connell Answers Critics. City Attorney Connell waa called for re peatedly and when he appeared waa greeted with cheers. His speech was partly a vin dication of his publlo and private reoord aa an officeholder and pitlzen. and .he flung uuwu ine gauntlet to hla traducers. "I dislike to hold up for Inspection whatever good I may have accomplished and what ever vtrtuea I may possess," said Mr. Con- neu. - cut when I ara attacked I never run. I will, atand and fight and -that is what I propose to do In this campaign. "No man, woman or child can say that I owe them a dollar and a Judgment never was obtained against me. I never con tracted a debt that I have not paid. Neither do I think I have been derelict In my duty aa a cltlsen. Always have I discharged my dutlea aa I have been able, and never have I failed to atand up for Omaha. " "I have spent money In large sums to build up the city and no publlo enterprise ever found me except at the front doing what I could. On the subscription list for the exposition you will find my name sec ond, down for a contribution of $500, which I aubsequently doubled, never expecting to receive a penny ot It back. .1 have fought for lmprovemente of ail kinds and have struggled for the upbuilding, of the city and a greater Omaha. "I know very well what my opponents are aaylng. They ar crying that Council haa not paid hla taxea. Gentlemen, If they had said that I have not paid all my taxea I would plead guilty, but when they say that I have not paid Uses they atale what la absolutely false. Tho records . of the city treasurer's office show that alnce I re turned from congress I have paid to the city of Omaha more than $25,000 In regular taxea, and more than $25,000 In apectal taxea. And,' gentlemen, if you care to go and ask City Treasurer Hennings for hla books you may read that I have paid, every personal tax that was ever assessed against me from the year 1867 to the present year, "And I want to say this: ' Every dollar I ever had or earned In the city of Omaha, and I came here with nothing, I have put right down here In Omaha, having faith in Omaha and believing in the city 'and lta people. I have put money In property and In lmprovemente to property. I spent $10,000 beautifying my own property and $12,000 improving that adjacent to Hanseom park, and no laboring man can ever aay that I did not pay for the work he per formed for me at the highest current prices. Draws Right-Hour Bill. "Regarding labor people aome liraea for get, and these I would refer to the pagea of the Congressional Record. - There they may find what I did for labor when I was aent to represent the people of this district in the national house ot representatlvea. "I drew the original elgbt-hour bill, ad vocated that bill through congress and secured Its passage. I had charge of the bill exclusively and handled it from start to finish. In the pagea of the Record may be found one speech In particular In which I may he pardoned for feeling aome degree of pride and satisfaction, and In that speech you may read my attitude tor labor and what I endeavored to do for it. . "I would- recall my connection with the viaduct fight, which I carried through from lta inception to a verdict for the city In the highest court ot the country. To the Moores administration we must not forget to credit the Vnlon Pacific agreement anchoring forever the great shops In Omaha and tbs expenditure of hundreds of tbousanda ot dollars on new buildings and equipment. "But they forget my good deeds and aay Connell don't pay hla taxea. I am willing to leave that Issue to the people the same people who believed In Omaha aa I have believed la It and who have put their money here aa I have put It. They know full well that la many cases property haa become a liability rather thaa an asset and ownership a burden. And you all know, furthermore, that the tax elalma against my property are the first liens upon it." W. L Klerstead, la ths course of his speech, declared that the Benson organ la making a moat malleloua and untruthful campaign. Referring to an Item declaring that a poll of tha men In tha Ames avenue atreet car barns bad shown B0 per cent ot the men tor Baneon. he dsaounced ths statement aa absolutely false and aald that from a poll f the men he had made, re quiring three daya, he knew 75 per cent of the men ara for Moores. Councilman Harry B. ZImman caused a sensation by telling how the corporationa attempted to buy him Just before tbe recent primaries: "I have a timber claim In western elate," he aald. "It coat me $1 an acre. Just before the primaries tbe timber claim became very valuable. Sev eral corporationa wanted It badly at a very high price. I was willing to Bell my claim, but not my vote. The result is that I still have my timber claim and the nomi nation." Bensoa la tho Eighth Ward. The Eighth ward Benson meeting last night drew out about 140 people. Includ ing W. J. Broatch. Cadet Taylor, Darktowi, Bob, Vlo Walker, B. O. Burbank, Conatable Hensel, John Long and other purity leadera. The Drat speaker waa A. W. Jederla, who slated that he desires to be known aa "Big Jeff, the Oopher." He declared that tbe candidate he advocated haa done aome thing for Omaha, In proof ot which he pointed to that large and flourishing me tropolis, Brlggs Station, which he Bald Mr. Benson had laid out. In further com mendation he asserted that Mr. Benson, unaided and alone, had given birth to the wbola town ot Benson, and to most of the adjoining orphanage; that he had Bold a church two lota for $300 and then rebated one-third of the amount; that he bad can celled $275 Interest against a poor man when, at the end of aeven yeara, he found the poor man couldn't pay up; that one week ago the Benson candidacy waa looked upon aa a Joke, but that now the demo cratic nominee and the republican nomi nee "are shivering in their boots ss they never shivered before;" and finally that the atatement that Benson la a prohibition ist la all false. ' ' Mr. Benson spoke In his own behalf. He announced that aa mayor he proposed to give an "absolutsly free and untrammeled exhibition of the will ot the people;" that ha haa so political ambition to aatiafy and pinea for the office of mayor only "to ad minister It for the benefit of the people;" that "the machine's efforts to check the people'a movement Is like a tumble-bug atandlng on a railroad track, saying It will knock bell out of tbe locomotive it It don't atop." ' B. O. Burbank, la cloaing the night'a gab fest, tried to square himself for bolting the convention, and then. Just to make ft good, tried to square Judas O. E. Llndquest for deserting his delegation. He read an other of those daily offldavlta, this one from Llndquest, who ' confesses to having been "given to understand that there are rumors and reports" that ho sold out, and who brands auch charges as untrue, further swearing that he declined to subscribe to the Moorea agreement because he wished to be free to exercise his own Judgment. Llnd quest himself waa prominently and con. aplcuously absent when hla affidavit was read. f Beasoaltes In Fifth Ward. With a large portrait of Ed Howell, the democratic nominee for mayor, dangling from the wall behind the speaker'a stand and the tall figure of the redoutable Vic Walker of Third ward fame leaning against the door facing at tbe rear of the hall, thu Benson "reformers". held a meeting at Six teenth and Locust streets last night. The hall la small, but., there was plenty of spare room. Erastua A. Benson, the bolt era' candidate; A, W. Jefferls, H. C. Brome and Hugh J. Myers .were the apeakera anl Robert Smith serve as toastmaster. Brome and Myers were the first speakers. Mr. Benson waa applauded aa he entered the hall. He told -'his "bull-elk" "story, Which Js his et or i piece to opon his speeches.-Then. Bwusual, he followed thla up with his modest' admission that he would be the next mayor of Omaha, providing some great revolution' did not occur before May 6. Having rehearsed this, Mr. Jlenson then proceeded to paint a beautiful picture of a model lty of Immaculate purity and virtue - as the future Omaha of which he will be mayor, and, smoking up right smartly, he declared In solemn tonea that "I was nominated for mayor because all the people wanted a clean and business like administration." Jefferls apologized for hla attitude as a bolter, exclaiming that though hla adver sarles denounce' him, they have felt his sting and tremble at hla power, "for," he added, "they have now come to refer to me aa 'Jeff the Big Gopher.' " Democrats In Eighth Ward. Most of the candidates on the democratic ticket and I. J. Dunn addressed an Eighth ward meeting last night at Sixteenth and Cuming streets. Chairman Joe Butler started proceedings. by Introducing Candi date E. . E. . Howell, who spoke at some length, beginning in an optimistic tone and following up with some past political his tory. He waa followed by C O. Lobeck, who talked ot pasfc. aesslons ot the city council sod threw a .bouquet at Commis sioner Fleming; J. H. Schmidt, candidate for treasurer; William Fleming, who gave a bunch of flgurea, and Ernest Stuht of the First ward, who devoted hla time to tho water works. ' Then In order followed the councllraanlo candldatea, Tbomaa Falconer, Ed y. Berryman, E. L. Robertson, G. W. Smith and V. E. Kuncl. I. J. Dijnn con cluded by vehemently ripping existing con ditions up the back with particular refer ence to the Benson reformers. . Managera of the republican campaign In the 8eventh ward announced yesterday that E. Rosewater will be the principal speaker at their meeting Thursday night, at 2709 Leavenworth, where tbey will have a pro gram that will give votera considerable to think about and bolters considerable to ex plain. Hon. Howard H. Baldrlge will also apeak at thla meeting.' . Arrest Socialist Orators. In an attempt to show that they have a rla-ht to speak on any street corner In the city, aeven socialist oratora were arrested last night by order of the chief of police and charged with obstructing the streets. The prisoners are E. Werner. J. A. Iabllle and B. McCafTery all of 1122 North Twenti eth atreet, John Pahoralek of 1116 Howard street, K. S. Wilbur of -0 Harney street O. W.

Theae men were making speeches at the Intersection of Sixteenth and Daven port streets, and when they refuaed to move were arreated by Otrtcers Devereeae and Ryan. It haa been the custom of the police to have persona apeaklng- on atreet corners and drawing more or lesa numerous audiences move to one of the corners on Jefferson square, .where there will be room enough without causing a crowd In the street. This la whst was requested of the men arrested Tunaday and last nights, but they refuaed, saying that they had a right tn talk on any atreet and meant to do ao. Tho prisoners say that they will make a presentation of their plea to tbe courta and will continue to talk where they please until a decision Is made ruling them from tbe atreeta. LOCAL BREVITIES.

It is to be regretted that Mr. Murphy cannot find a play more worthy hla talent than thla Read-Ptxley production, which a by no meann equal to hla ability. As Governor Crance he finda much oppor tunity for the exhibition of a certain grade of dry humor, but it la accompanied also by a display ot vulgarity and venlaltty that la neither pleasing to contemplate nor satisfying to witness. However, Mr. Mur phy found the part designed by the author, and hla duty is to depict It as written. That he does thla faithfully and well no one can queatlon.
