The Expressions at the Academy of Husio Yesterday. | A overo Arraignment of Rewh proaontativo Bartlott. Resolutions Adopted fof Preoi- dent Arthur's Oonaidor- ution. Bartlott'dBoomBndly SatDownon and BnstoiL In pursuance with the call published in THE BEE , a meeting of the workingmen - ingmen of Omaha was held at the inA Atademy of Music yesterday after noon for the purpose of expressing their sentiments in regard to the re port ( on the late labor troubles made to the Jegitilaturo by the committee of which K. M. Bartiettwas chairman. Representatives of the various trades unions and labor organizations were present in largo numbers. The mooting was called to order about 2 o'clock , and James Dooley , president of the Iron Moulders union was elected president , nnd Edward Walsh secretary. The president , in tlio course of a lew remarks , said : FKLLOW WoniciNQMEN : The object of this meeting is to express our dis pleasure at the conduct ot uomo of the members nf the legislature and wo shall bo glad to hear from any of you on the subject. Mr. Bartlett had an invitation to attend hero this afternoon - noon , but ho is such a good Christian that ho could not violate the Sabbath. When he was canvassing for votes to send him to Lincoln , however , ho wont around in the boor gardens on. Sunday , and did not think so much of the Sabbath then. Ho don't dare tn show his faoa here thio afternoon. It ia for you to say whether ho ia going there again or not. Now , I Would ask tor your views , and your expressions. ( Ap plauae. ) Mil. EDWA1U ) UOHKWATCll being enthusiastically called for , said : Mil. OlIAIltMAN AN1 > FlSUOW OlTI- ZUNH : I regret that circumstances over which tro Imvo no control have compelled the workinimen { of Omaha to transgress that part of their religi ous creed that commando them to ob serve the seventh day , or rather the first day of the week , as a day of rent ; but as a matter of fact , as I under stand it , the public halls in this city are all engaged , at letut this is , for every night during the week , includ ing Sunday night , and inasmuch as many of you are unable , after a hard day's work , to attend n niifhc meeting , ao it was thought boat to call this meeting this afternoon. I should have preferred that some one among you should have preceded to me in stating the general causes that have brought you together , You are all doubtless aware that there have boon troubles in Omaha , culled by certain pariioa riots ; that n few wooko ago the militia of this nUto , under the command of the governor of this state , and federal troops were called into this city , and occupied your streets and other places for the purpose , as they claimed , to put dove n very dan gerous riot. In duo course of time they folded their tents and marched ly away. And when the legislature met ho in extra session , on the 12th of this month , bills wore presented for nearly in $13,000 to moot the expenses of put ting down this terrible riot in Omaha. ir A voice , "To put down Qoorgo Arm strong. ] Yes , to put down ono man ( in Omaha. ( JOVKRN4B NANOJl his message , in order to justify hia course , officially stated , that thotroopa the found on their arrival here n very the desperate riot. Tlio mob wa < defiant and a bloody collision was imminent , and he-congratulated the state forces , fore and the people of the utato that there waa not any more bloodshed than with there waa. Now then , the legislature er before whom the olainiu wore pending , to appointed a committee to consider the That claims , and the Ilou , K. M. Bartlett , from this county , WAS made chairman. ed After the committee was appointed Mr. Moore , from York county , intro duced resolution ? , which were adopted not the house , stnting in aubatunco that the alleged riots Tn Omaha were ports regarded in very many quarters as upon exaggerated , and the pretext for call- Ilia out the troops hero was not sus in tained , and , therefore , ho called upon is. committee to Investigate the causes that led to the riot , and re quired them to report whether or not ollicers had overstepped their lie authority , Mr. Barllott , as chairman , made a report , which I will read , as in cuimot intelligently understand hia action without first considering whit this report wa ? . I understand' Mr. Bartlett , who ha ? not soon fit to respond to your invitation , saya that tliia report is in every respect Balisstat factory. I presume it ia very satJ3mu factory to him and especially to THE nitlOADIERS who swaggered around Omaha and drew $130 apiece for their time. Mr. Bartlett claims that there is nothing in this report that reflects on you or .any ; workingmou in Omaha , but wo shall presently see. Mr. Roaowator then read the report , which has already appeared in the columns ot THE BEE Hero ] then i the statement officially made , which has been put ink ) the archives of this sUto as the truthful history of the labur troubles of Omaha. I waa in the house when Mr. Barlett made the ropoit , but of course none but members coma have a word to say on the mittor , and I remember I noticed Mr. Mullen , a member from this county , rise indignantly as if he was about to romonatrcte. But he repressed his feelings nnd concluded to ( my nothing. Objections were made by Moore , Eolmau uud several othcr.s that this report was ONI : HIDKD and only represented the views of the oilicors concerned in this matter , but the report of the committee was finally adopted. Mr. Birtlett had stated that he had * no authority to send for persons Tind papers , Now Mr. Bartlett knew that the house would have authorized him to incur the necessary expense to send foi any body they wanted to have there , but he was acting Attorney for persons who did not want him to send for persons and pipers or any informa tion that would have led to cutting down expenses. The stats could have afforded to pay faro and time for ai ht of ten persons rather than to pay $130 lor each brigadier who had nothing to inspect except the whisky jugs in the difi'tiront saloons. ( Liugh- tor and applause. ) Everyone will concede that THE TROOfS who simply obeyed the order of their commander ought to bo paid , but there wai no excuse for paying a gov ernor's stalT and a rocimental staff. Now then , whcnl heard of theao one-sided and partial reports which were to bo put into the archives of the state , ixiul which would go ilon'n to history , I thought it best to write out a statement , giving such iv version ni would bo ( 'iven by nine-tenths , yes by ninety-nine out of every hundred per sons who were not inatigatora for call- inr out the military. to I made a statement over my signa la ture and handed it to thosamo member who introduced the original resolu tion , lie waa the proper person , bo- cauao ho had asked the legislature to investigate the matter. As a constitu of ent of Mr. Bartlolt I had juat as much right to do this as'the may or of Omaha or the humblest citizen , and Mr. Bart lolt was the loaf man who should have objected. to ' DO ? its No Boouor had th'o Bocr.otary started road the communication than ho all jumped up and shouted , ho did not want any stump apoaoh from Edward Rosewater , of course a great many gentlemen thought that wai entirely inconsistent , especially as the houco was in a committee of the whole. After a wrangle tha communicUion we was ordered readI do not know tha whether you want that communication read horo. ( cries of "road it" ) MrRoaowatcr then read the com half munication , which has boon previous publishedin Tun Br.u , after which and proceeded , Polio w citizens of this Omaha , I oak you if there to anything this statement that can be success only fully contradicted , or that exaggerates drew misstates any of TUB I'OINTtf AT JtWUK. Loud erics of no , no ) I waa very of the particular in abstaining from all rev flections that were not necessarily reflections then for flections unou the general conduct of campaign. I said nothing about of committee or impugned tea mo no tives. tives.When this question was placed bo been the legislature BIr. llooro re- this . quested that it should bo embodied for Mayor Boyd'a loiter and the oth dan alau documents , A motion was made lay the nholo thing on the table. ponse motion was voted down. A Cil- day libuatormg game was played that last R a day and a half. which The railroad strikers led by Church or Howe and Bartlett rnndo on onslought , militia upon thu questions at issue be is U tween the statesmen nnd oflioial re mili , nor a aiiut any allegation , but to c inytolf.

In no place doca ho question the veracity of it. lip says that I hia statement was made in be- half of nnnu but cut-throiUji , thugs , and thieves. Well , then when about BOO workSi inn meu signed a petition , asking that this statement be put on record just the same as the letter of Mayor Boyd , Mr Bartlett moved and voted that the petition bo laid upon tlio table. Ha asserted right there that not a voice from HIS CONHT1T0KNTH should lie heard. Mr Bartlett stated in his speech thai the laboring men of O mill a in sisted that no man should work at Hiich wages ai he is willing to labor for and that I had encouraged that idea. I have encouraged no tush thine , I have always assorted that workinymon have the riiht ; to induce others from working at low wages by peaceable means , but that they have no right to force men from working at any price they choose. That is a fact , and no man over hoard mo say anything else. It is a fact that I can substantiate that this much , abused man > IM STEI'HENSON after thei affray on the dump was ready and willing to pay his laborers ? l,75 a day , but the B. & M officials de clared you muit noc do it. We will not allow you to pay the wages you are willing to pay. It is wrong and unlawful for any man , or sot of men to say to- other men they sliall network work for wages they are willing to ac cept. I want to know by what author ity the B. & M. can interfere with a contractor , and order him not to pay the wages ho is willing to pay. What waa the object of these officials ? I talked with CM All LIE OKEEN , who is their attorney. Ho said wo did not propose to surrender. Wo wanted to vindicate the honor of this state. D. ) wo want the honor of this state vindicated nt the point of the bayonet when employers can settle their dif ference peacibly ? Mr. Stephenson was willing to allow his men to go to work and willing to pay the wages they asked , when another parly flop ped out and says no you must not pay these wages , n e will precipatato a con flict between the people and tlio mili tary in Omnha rather than allow you do so. Si p joeotho contractor vvh-j grading I'urnam street should decide cido to pay his men $2,00 , and ho was sure to lose money in his contract , what right would anybody have to in terfere ) There' is not a shadow doubt but there is AN INSIDE KINO that got this contract with Stephen' ' son , for whom ho is simply acting , and this ring prefers to put the state ( expanse rather than lose some oi profits. I do not propose to etoop to criticise that tooic place at the state legisla ture , because , according to The Ru- publican , it was an entertainment , I which tuooe gentlemen appeared to enjoy. I do not care how much they enjoyed it. There will bo another en tertainment sooner or later when wjlt > all bo there , and they will do o dancing.

If lie can delegate the powers to the mayor , the mayor can in turn delegate that power to the marshal nnd the marshal to his deputy and his deputy can del cgato his power to | Mr. Granacher , the jailor. I claim that the governor has no authority wha'ovcr ' to place in command of theoe troops the mayor of Omaha. Such things can only bo done in Ne braska , and Nebraska has been made the bntt of ridicule in every part of thin Uni n for this costly military dress parade.

On the floor of the housp he was entirely free from responsibility. The consti tution of the state guarantees him immunity from nil liability for words spoken in debate. Ho may call men murderers , cutthroats , incendi aries , or anything ho pleases. Ho took that liberty of speech which be longs to representatives of the people. But it is right , when ho misuses that liberty , for hia constituents to call him to account. You have a right to ask him whether what ho stated on that floor was comporting with the dignity of a representative , and whether ho did justice to the people who oonc him. He is not here , and wo will leave him to those who hold him responsible , when the right time comas. [ Loud and prolonged cheer ing. ] MR. JOHN QUINN being called for , stepped on the stage and said : MK. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW Cm- ZCNH : I don't know that I have got a great deal to say upon the subject. In fact , I think you all'know just about us much as I do , because you have alt been in Omaha during the late trouble. I have no doubt you understand it just as well as Mr. Batlolt. . Most of you have been at the dump ( lauahter ) and know what occurred there. 1 do not think this meeting LSI very proper. 1 think it is altogether im proper. It docs 'such leual Equirts and bw lawyers too much" honor to I am not at all surprised thut Mr. Bartlett declined your invitation , for as Mr. K'jsov.'Jiter says a reprenenta- tivo down in Lincoln has the privilege to lio.

Wo nice have had a great many of these pee sine como into this city. I have been here fifteen and I have years , read of Wa their comini ; ; the reporters always jut notice them. Mr. Battleit in would not como on the Sabbath. It is the Lord's Day , It is cine nev workiugmau's day , and Gad gave tier to the workingman because the cap cou italists would not. [ Loud cheers. ] the Returning to the promising young incc men put the on next thing they do , they go proof onA wet A I'AIU OK aOOQLKS , to attend { , church meetings and gnt all the inf ladies to think ho is a splendid new young mm. ( Loud laughter , ) Hois stro reading law with an eminent lawyer , Bon then the first thing wo find ho is ferorp running for office lie is the very fill party to misrepresent the pcoplo at Lincoln although ho proposes to re present them. TJjo rasuft is that ho T oos to Lincoln to represent the peo- braska and misrepresents them , and the will people in electing him to bo their ser in A very soon discover that ho is master , or assumes to be their pn and master , Now Mr. Bartlctt from was a great work- ' During ngmon's champion some dedi YEAB.1 AGO , Tcci I suppose if ho had the opportu Burn to reconsider his action ho would espc be a norkingmen'a champion.

Wo are the para ties. Wo are responsible and not Mr. Barlott , as wo sent him to Lincoln. If ho had como hero ho might have explained and yet not have explained. These lawyers and politicians have a peculiar faculty of appearing to explain - plain when in reality they explain nothing. I will refer to another gentleman w.ho endeavored to explain at Wash ington , HENATOIl VAN WYCK. You all know wt went to hoar'him. Ho occupied half an hour telling us about'tho greatness of our country , olc , ; but did ho toll us what he thought about Governor Nanco , or Hie conduct of the city authoiities ? Oh , no ! When ho was usked what ho thought of the killing of Armatreng , ho replied with great levity , unbecom ing a ( senator : ho supposed' that ho took hold of the wrong und of the gun , and senators always explain that way. The senator had explained that ho could not vote for THE CHINESE BILL on account of the Burlingamo treaty. It was the first time ho discovered that : troates were'liko the Iowa of the Modes < and the Persians , unalterable. But the senator said that nothing could be done because of that treaty. Who ] didn't ho bring in a bill to * v J modify the treatj ? It ia the way ' " with these "V v politicians tc go on tickling \ the ears of the working people , and I v know this is what Bartlett has been doing. I have no hesitation in saying ( hat the report that Mr. Rosowoter put in was true , every'word ' of it , and was the only true report , and was the only report that should have gene into the archives of the state. It ] will bo your core to see , as well OB mine , tha ; when these men como up again that wo get along without r/\ \ inon of their class , and see whether A other people CANNOT IlEl'KEBENT us us well as such lawyers do , because they have not represented us yet. They have always reprceonto'd them selves. Statesmanship seems to be on the decline , as well as patriotism , which appears now to bo nothing but a de sire to share public plunder. It ia part of our duty co purify this state of things. [ Olieorp , ] Mr. John Pope Hodnctt , president of the National Labor league , ad dressed the meeting at this point. The following resolution was unanimously - ' mously adopted ; Whereas , E. M. Bartlett is said to ho an applicant for the position of United States assistant district attorney 1103 ; and , Whereas , Said position should bo filled ) by an lipnest , honorable and in- corruptablo man ; therefore , Kesolved , That wo hereby outer out emphatic protest against the ap pointment of aaid K M.
