the Executive Committee of the
Hayes aud Wheeler Clnb.
A New Executive Committee Elected.
A Lively Meeting at the Court House
Last Evening.
"The Hayes and Wheeler Yeteraus
of Oniahn. "
The reporter of the BEE had no
trouble in filling his note-book at
the meeting of the Hayes and
Wheeler club last evening. The
court room was densely nacked , aud
the meeting was an enthusiastic
and an excited affair throughout.
President Cowin filled the chair
and called the meeting to order.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting were read aud accepted ,
quite a number of gentlemen came
forward and nigned their names to
for the recess to allow them to dose
so was made by I. S. Hawaii.
The Campaign Glee Club , com
posed of Messrs. Morris , baunders } ,
Reed and Northrop , sand "The Red I ,
White and Blue" m admirable
style , and were enthusiastically ap
plauded ,
A Calni followed. It was the
calm that usually prececdes tne
storm , and the etorm came soon
afterward. It's coming was an
nounced by a terrilic thunderbolt ,
I so to speak , in the .shape of the re-
I signation of Mr. J. W. Gannett ,
i vice president of the club from the
I First Ward.
Mr. Will Browne stated that he
had an important communication ,
addressed to the President , aud he
handed it to the President , who
after perusing its contents , turned it
over to Scoetary Manchester tote
to read aloud , as follows :
OMAHA , July 26.
Mon.J. C. Cowin , President :
DEAK Shu 1 have to request
that you will present to the present
mi-tubers of the Douglas Couuty

city.Those

pany where I cauuot carry my self-
respect.
Very respectfully ,
J. W. GA'NNEIT.
Talk about thunderbolts ! We beg
pardon for using .such a mild term.
This letter proved a bouib-shell.and
when it exploded it seemed to strike
iee.
every member of the postal brigade.
Every eye in the room was turned
on I. S. Hascall , for it was evident [
to the undressed optic that he is
the man who was referred to as " le
worst political shysterin Nebrarka. "
He thus became the observed of all
observers. The postal brigade had
been hit , and hit hard , square in the
bowels , and as soon as P. Vauder-
voort .could catch his breath , rid
straighten up and maintain his
equilibrium , he belched forth in
stentorian tones that Thomas L.
Kimball , of the iirst ward , be nom
inated to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Coutant proposed that the
matter be postponed till the third
Monday in November.
Mr. Will Browne moved that the
communication be laid on the table.
Hascall rose to his feet and said
he thought it was a proper motion
to postpone the matter till the third
Monday in .November , and that lt' '
was improper to lay it on the table.
If Mr. Gannett was so fastidious as
not to want to be vice president ol
the club , it would be well to accept
his resiunatiou , and let him join a
Tilden club if he wants to.
Air. Browne sprang up and said :
Mr. Gannett doesn't propose to join
a Tildeii club. He io a man , every
inch of him. I want his communication
. I
cation laid on the table so that it
can be taken up at any time.
Gen. Estabrook said he didn't
hardly uuderstaud the import of
of the communication. It seemed
to him that there was something
about the club that this respectable
gentleman ( Mr. Gauuett ) considered -
ered offensive , and which prevented
him from longer remaining a mem
ber of the club. He moved that a .
committee ot thiee be appointed to '
investigate and report at au ad- .
jourued meeting. If there is any
thing wrong this club out to know .
it. He felt as if his reputation
might be tarnished in some way. .
Laughter. } |
Mr. Gwyer was very much exer
cised at the language and tenor of
tbe letter , which he did not consider
tj
rospeclatole.
President Cowin safa ho letter
was addressed to himself. .
Owyer wanted it read again.
\Vill Browne called for a secoiiL
reading , as it was gospel , every
word of it. [ Laughter.J | 8
The letter was accordingly read a 8I 8b
second time. I
Mr. Gwyer said he now under h
stood the tenor of the letter. It tl
seemed that tbe language was of tln tlD
fensive. Some one person on the n
executive committee was offensive B
the writer. He knew not who 6
the man could be. If it was as true (
gospel , it concerned himself , as B
did not want to be caught in bad Bu Bn
company. The tenor of the letter u
was unpleasant and unsatisfactory , h
but if Mr Gannett wanted to be re ti
lieved , why certainly the first and tie
only tiling to do was to accept his 6
resignation instnntcr.
A delightful but inharmonious
chorus ot hisses aud cheers inter
rupted him for a moment.
raj
He didn't propose to hold him
here ) if ne was too lofty a man to
associate with these men. Ho con
sidered the letter offensive personally -
ly to himself , as well as to others
and moved that the resignation be
If * inslanter
accepted I >
The , hisses here drowned the feeai
bli cheers ,
Mr. T. F. Hali thought the letter
was an important document. It
was ; the resignation of a prominent
gentleman in this community. He
geh
had : staled his reasons why he did
not wish to belong to the club. The
question was , did the club want
him to resign , or did they wish to
reorganize the executivecommitfee.
He had thought at the last meeting
that the organization of that comd
inittee was a little weak. Air. Ganh
nett was not the only gentleman in
this community who objected to the
committee. The objectionable man
was a man of all men against whom
he ( Hall ) had nothing to say , but
it was to the interest of
the club that he should be
removed. The committee , he uuI
derstood , had been appointed in the
iuterest of harmony , but it had pro-
1. duced the opposite effect. He proposed -
posed that the club proceed to elect
au executive committee. They
would not elect any one whom they
did not want. The object of the
motion to lay on the table was to
allow an opportunity to decide
whether that committee should be
reorganized or not. If it was not
reorganized , then let Mr. Gannett ,
and as many others as pleased , with
draw from the club
Mr. Coutant said that a committee
of lour Thurstou , Rperry , Benja-
miu aud himself had been appointed
pointed to prepare a constitution
aud by-law.for this club , and they >
did so with a view to advance tbe
interests of Hayes and Wheeler.and
had organized this club on the is
of doing all the good possible. Le
Leof
then explained the appointment of
the committee at eome length.
111 Mr. Coutant endorsed Mr. Has-
' call , aud gave him a very good sre
cord. He , for one , was willing to
go with Ha call and endorse him in
every particular. His character
erb
could not bo impeached , and no objection
bn.
jection could be raised against him.
n.ed
Mr. Tfj. Bosewater said he wished
to utter a few words in connection
with this matter. "Mr. Coutant is
no doubt iu earnest for Hayes and
Wheeler ; so am I. He desires he
welfare af the Bepubhcan y
so do I. But 1 would not , if I had
the power , put on that committee
Uncle John Stanton , or Curry , ore
Isaac S. flascall , if you should re
commend them. I am no homeo
pathic doctor. When there is a
cancer in the body public , I believe
in cutting it out excoriating it
and letting the body live. The man
to whom Mr. Gannett refers , is 111a
man whom 1 know has sold out the
Republican party time and again iu
this county , au-1 I will raise my
voice against if. I knew nothing iyof
Mr. Gaunett's intention -
to re
sign , or of his letter , until
my return from Lincoln
Ine.
to-day ; but I approve bin course. ;
The men at the head of this club
must be men of good character and
ida
reputation , who enjoy the genera !
confidence of the community , and
not men who merit and have be
contempt of thepeopleto the er
of the Bepublicau party. We may
as well meet the matter now. Lay
ing it on the table is a mere subter
fuge. We may as well say now
that we propose to reorganize this
committee and retain Mr. Gannett. '
' Iremeudous cheering followed
this speech , and the general cry idof
" question ! question ! ! question ! ! ! '
' was made. Gwyer endeavored teat
tou
speak again after order had been
' partially restored , but the President
ruled him out on the ground that he
' had already spoken on the subject.
t.is
"Question ! Question ! " was
again ihe cry , and Vandervoort
made himself conspicuous by shout
ing out , "If you want to bring on
your mob , come on. " This looked
ide
very much like a challenge to a free
fight , and it did look a little that
way for a minute or two.
W. W. Marsh suggested that in
taking the vote it be by yeas and
nays , and from the roll , which was
afterwards acted on.
President Cowin here rose and
explained how th committee had
been appointed by him. Wheu the
club was organized he had refused
positively to entcitaln for a mo
. ment the idea of presiding at its de
liberations , a fact well known lo
all. He refused to assist in the or
ganization. The organization
committee was appointed , and both
sides recommended his name for
president , aud he accepted. It was
I
at a time he believed that such
action would produce harmony , but
it seemed that '
it hadu't done any
such a thing. He had said he be
lieved it would be an honor to
preside over the club for Hayes
aud Wheeler. He had agreed to do
all he could , and had divided the
executive committee equally. Par
ties on each side said it was easy to
put two weak men on one side and
two strong men on the other. He
.
then told them to get together and
present the names from both sides.
rne-in p8 of W. W. Marsh , and
A. Doll were tuocuvuted from one
side , aud two from the other. He
bad a promise and he hept it.
If he had made his own selection ,
he would not have put on any man
that was there now. The appoint
ments were made according to pro
mise , aud this is the result.
Mr. Gannett is very much dis-
satufied ; with } this club. He
Mr. Cowin ) could not say one word
now as to whether he ought to be or
not. The committee was appointed
under a promise in the interest of
harmony. If it should be his for
tune or misfortune to preside at an
other meeting of Republicans that [
should come together for the pur-
of
- * V .i
party , he should appoint the men
whom ho should deem proper him
self , and ask no aid from either side.
He had thought it necessary to
make this explanation ) not in a
spirit of cowardice , but because it
was needed , as the promise , under
which the executive committee had
btieli appointed , had been made at a
time when it was proposed to form
another ] club.
"Question" was again loudly called
| Cj ,
Strickland attempted to speak ,
I but the uproar Was too much for
J him.
Somebody yelled out "Soak your
head , " to a fellow wo had kept call
ing "question" after all the others
had ceased.
President Cowin stated to Strick
land that he didn't like to have him
discuss this question any more after
his decision.
Strickland said "You can choke
down anybody > " and there being
some demands for him to speak , by
some fellows who always like to
hear him for the fun of the thing ,
he proceeded. The beginning of
wrong , said he , always euds in trou
ble. What he had to say would be
In i a spirit of kindness. He thought
we understood each other at the
first meeting , but it seems we did
not. He then referred at some
length to the first meeting. He
Was willing to do anything for har-
mony. # * * * -\Ve are
fishing for morals , but for votes
Mr. Gannett may be purity itself ,
but he doesn't rank Isaac S. Hascall.
[ Hisses aud cries of "question. ] He
had known Hascall from childhood. [
Hascall had come here with honors
In the law , had graduated , etc. , does
not drink , chew , nor smoke , nor
- swear , aud he defied auy one to find
- a blot on the character of Isaac S.
Hascall , or in any business transac
tion. Hascall had only done le
thing that was wrong ; and that is
when he aud Rosewater had called
ide.
the legislature agaiust his advice.
e.ie
Hascall had always worked in the
ieh
Republican party side by side with :
us. He was equal to a ward , when
inw
- Rosewater could control only a few
votes. [ Hisses. ] "Yes , gcesc and
idm
snakes hiss , " was fairly hissed from
the General's mouth.
President Cowiu General , I'll
11e.
give you thirty seconds to conclude.
. Strickland If these gentlemen
don't want peace and harmony ,
they needn't haye it.
The amendment to lay the letter !
tto
ter on the tjtblr to the motion to
accept the resignation , was carried
; by a large majority , and with un
bounded enthusiasm.
Vandervoort moved to adjourn.
T. F. Hall offered the following :
Resolved , That the appointment
.oi i ° f the executive committee of this
club by the president is hereby res
cinded , and that the club proceed
to the election of a new committee.
e.d
Vandervoort again moved to adjourn
dul
journ in the interest of Hayes and
ulal
Wheeler , and lo keep senatorial
politics out of this club.
A voice Get out ! you bag of
wind !
Coutant thought this resolution
was a violation aud u change of the
constitution , and that one week's :
notice of nuch action should be
given. It would require , at any
rate , a two-thirds vote to carry the :
resolution.
The constitutionality of the pro
ceeding was argued at some length
by different persons.
Hascall here argued the coiidtitu-
tlouality of the resolution from ua
legal stand point. He also referred
to his own record , and stated that
litof
he helped change the politics of
Douglas county from Democratic to
Republican , when a large number of
.
men present were too cowardly to
do as he had. [ Hisses , cheers and
laughter. ] He had given the Republican
,
publican party more strength and
character [ laughter ] than he done
it harm. He had stood by the col
ored man. [ Hisses from several
colored men. " ] He was no
loafer , but earned his bread ,
by the sweat of his brow ; he did not
live by the smiles and favors of
any one. Gen. Strickland had gone
too far when he said he CHascali ' ]
did not drink. He drank beer aud
1h
ale , and paid for his drinks , which
was more than some other bummers
and beer guzzlers in that room could
say.
say.T.
T. J. Staley said the club had a
right to remove the president.
President Cowin I wish they
would exercise it.
The constitution was then asuin
discussed atleugth.
The president ruled that the con
stitution provides that the president
shall appoint the committee , unless
otherwise ordered , but there was no
provision for him to keep the com
mittee in power against the wishes
H I
of the club , nor to prevent the club
rom electing a new committee.
1AWUA CAbVl-A * ' M AAV Wuaualktd ; I
I
Dr. Benjamin chipped in a few
words , but nobody paid any atten
tion to him.
President Cowin The resolution
is now before the house.
Chauucey Wiltse then got up to i
make some remarks. He stood I I
there divested of partizan feeling , so
he said. There was something |
higher than that. The countryjwa
at stake. We were
and disgracimrA'iie Hepublican par-
we were organizing for the
defeat of it. He told u story about
an Irish lawyer who had been told
several times by the Judge to sit
down. The lawyer finally said to
the Judge , "May it please your
Honor , I think you are impregnated
with a great deal of dignity. " And
that was what was the matter with
J. W. Gannett. He was impreg
nated with a great deal of dignity.
[ Cries of "question" from all quar
ters of the house ; also "sit down , "
'shut up , " "pull down your vest. " ]
He had been a Republican along
time [ A voice "Shut up. " Cries
of "question. ' ] ' "I'll talk aa long aa
please , " yelled Mr. Wiltse.
"Question ! Question ! " ]
Cowln Qrder ,
A Postal brigade voice "Keep
perfectly cool , Chauucey. "
When the racknt had somewhat
subsided. Mr. Willse resumed , and
pitched into Mr. Gannett , whom he
never saw at auy political meetings.
Hascall was always there , while
were wealthywere sleeping in their
downy couches. There was no ques
tion as to the loyalty of Isaac S.
Hascall. This movement Instead
ol being for Hayes and Wheeler
was to strike a partisan blow. My
God ! [ this was said for dramatic ef-
fectitispartizauship that is running
us. He was for compromise. We
had an executive committee that
was an honor to the club. He de
fied any one to point out a man who
had done more for the party than
Hascall. What is Gannett ? He
is a kid-gloved gentleman , draws a
large salary , and does no work ,
rwill Browne here interrupted hiin
iu defense of Mr. Gannett. ]
President Cowin Mr. Gannett
needs no defense.
Mr. Wiltse resumed. He was one
of the few who had placed the Be-
publican party in power. He had
worked for years with Hascall , aud
had never considered himself dis
graced.
"Question" being called for , tbe
secretary , Mr. Manchester , called
the roll , Maj. Doane and C. K. Cou
tant acting as tellers.
Vandervoort I move that the
Glee Club sing a song before we
part to meet no more.
The roll proceeded , and the ayes
piled up fast. Gwyer was the first
niau to vote " no , " aud he did it
emphatically.
Gov. Sounders , explained liis vote
of aye , by saying that he did it be-
cause he was treating friend and foe
alike.
Frank Wallers voted no. It was
unnecessary for him to rise aud ex-
plain , and he accordingly didn't do
it.
W. V. Christy explained his vote
of no. He was a parlizau man , but
didn't propose to bring partizauship
into this club.
Smytbe put himself down on the
record with the postal outlit aud
voted no , and explained his vote.
M. R. Risdou voted no , aud ex
plained.
The result was 95 ayes and 37
noes , the announcement being re
ceived amid thundering applause.
Thus was Hascall bounced oil the
executive committee.
It was found on examination that
Gen. Strickland had never signed !
the roll and had been an outsider all
the while he was kicking up u dis
turbance.
V/ost moved that a committee of
five be appointed lo recommend "I
executive committee.
Marsh There's another resolu
tion to proceed with the election.
On motion of Mr. Hall , the fol
lowing gentlemen were put in nom
ination for the executive commit
tee : August Doll , J. B. Detwiler ,
W. W. Marsh , aud Charles Wil-
kins.
Gwyer nominated Paul Vander
voort , I. S. Ha call , Gen. Strick-
laiid , and E. Rosewater , causing
some laughter.
Vaudervoort aud Hascall here
threw some mud , aud some eaug
out "Harmony ! Harmony "
Strickland We have mude three
attempts at harmony and failed.
We'll retire and form another club.
We'll have no such pigmies as
United States Senatorss , nor Hitch-
cocks nor Rosewaters , nor editors
there. Ihcn we shall all nave
glory.
A unanimous vote of thanks was
given to President Cowin for his
, correct rulings and able manner of
presiding over the olub.
Mr. Cowin thanked the audience ,
and introduced the Glee Club a second
end time , saying to Gen. Strick-
land : "General , wait a minute ,
and hear a good-song. "
Strickland I hate to have a man
stick me in the back will a stilletto ,
and then sing a sweet song in my
ear.
Benjamin Would It not be in
I
,
order to accept the resignation of
Mr. Gannett ? '
No attention was paid to him.
The Glee club then sang "Hayes
and Wheeler are our choice , " a
stirring campaign song. Mr. North-
rup took the solo part.
Benjamin We are in a state of
revolution. We have established a .
precedent of disorganization. Men
can be voted in and out now at any
time. I want tlie secretary to strike
my name off the roll.
"Good eveuiu' , " chimed iu a
voice.
The club then adjourned.
Hascall and his bosom friend '

in the other club.
Dr. Conkling was there , and he
says that Hascall wa ? outraged at
the first meeting , and treated badly the
at the second. The Doctor thinks
seriously of voting for Tilden-und at

1HE SUMMER EXODUS.
OFF TO THE CENTENNIAL.
At thte time when so many of our
patrons are preparing
plating their usual trip duriug the
summer solstice , it is well to present
to our readers the'proiniuent advan
tages oflered by the railroad run
ning direct to the Centennial
grounds. To this end , we would
speak of the ecouohiy , convenience
aud desirability of taking the Great
Fort Wayne & Pennsylvania Line ,
which is rtlnning three (3) ( ) daily
Centennial trains from Chicago to
the very gate at the main en
trance. These trains are made up
of the elegant Pullman parlor , sleep
ing aud hotel uoadhesj and combine
the comfort and luxury of a life at
home , yet gliding over this famous
route , noted for its perfect equip
ment and careful management , at a
safe rate of speed never yet attained
by any rival A feature not to pass
unnoticed is the facility for reaching
hotels. In the immediate vicinity ,
within live minutes walk of the
Centennial depot , are to be found
hotels , at which good accommoda
tions can be obtained for two to five
dollars per day.
The Encampment at Elm Sta
tion , near the Centennial grounds ,
was established by the .National
Grange of the Patrons of Husban
dry , for the purpose of accommo
dating the large number of agricul
turists who desire to visit the Exhi
bition , ahd to afford a comfortable
and suitable resting place at the
moderate expense of two dollars per
day.
day.Takiug into consideration the im
mense sum of money , time and la
bor expended by this line to render
perfect its accommodations for tbe
comfort aud safety of its patrons ,
we unhesitatingly recommend it as
the most desirable route to reach
the Centennial Exhibition.
