Speaking on the subject of the double- headed ticket In the First ward , Mr. Donovan van yesterday morning said : "I was nt the primaries on Wednesday and I never saw any thing to equal thorn in ras cality In my life. They were held In the Slaven house-wl least that used to bo Its name. It now belongs to ono of the Cuseys , The saloon was full of people , and the poll was n part of the saloon. 1 went thcro with Rome others and wo got there before 12 o'clock. The crowd insldo was drinking. Wo were waiting on the out side for the polls to organ Ize. 1 rcooRni/ed men from Hugh Murphy's three * pavinir pangs. They worn there under tlielr foremen , Doyle , McDonald , and another whom I can't recall. Klynti , Murphy's book keeper , was ( lying nround , master of cere monies. Ho was tilling HIP men with whisky. Ho must Imvo spoilt 3'JU for the gang's drinks. Slnven's sweeping loree was there , nnd made no bones nliniit it , Slaven was thcro lumseif wth his men , who had their brooms and their shovels.Vo waited on the sldcxvalk , expecting to be given u chance to get in an election nfllccr. Wo heard ti shout from the insldo , and wo learned that the judges had been elected by tlio crowd in the saloon. They didn't give us tt chance to voto. "Well , then they commenced to receive votes. Futty Glenn , yon know him , np- pcared ns one of the Judges ; a fellow named Henderson , a rounder , 1 think was the other , while Tobln was clerk. I sawn number that I know did not belong to the ward , wedge their way In and cast their voto. If they were challenged they mmlo evasive nnsxyors , anyway they all put In their volet. Ono of these foremen I iaw aiding the crowd and enabling his men to voto. 1 knew ho didn't live in tlio ward and I knew many of his men didn't ' live there. I asked him what ho was doing there and ho said It w.is none of my business , and that I was an old fraud. This was bec.uiso 1 made him and his men do the work Murphy had contracted for instead of that which ho wanted to do. I wont un to the polls , but it was by crowding nnd squeezing such as I never experienced before that I xyns able to do BO. 1 got in my vote , too. but when 1 tried to tet out of the linoalittle lellow an Englishman jumped up on my back , put his arms around my neck and tried to pull mo awuy from the window. Slaven cumo aroung bossing and shoolt n bundle of ballots under my nose in a threat- piling manner. Others who were opposed to Lowry tried to vote , but they might just us well have tried to reach the moon. 'I bo lines were bo packed with Lowry men that no others could get in. When these voted , they were walked around and biought up to the polls a second and third time , just as ninny times ns they could , In fact. Some chal lenging was done , but it was of no avail. I tried it , but they laughed at me.Vo began to see that there was no chance to get a fair show nnd that the election would bo n fraud. Wo almost gave un in disgust. Hut some of the antl-Lowry men made up their minds to got a fair count in another waynnd established another polling place on the other side of thestieet. Who it was that organised the last one I don't know. I had nothing to do with it. "Hut that was not tlio worst ot it. They had their carryalls , and when the men got through voting in the First , they wore put on board these wagons and carried up to the Third ward , where they voted again. It's a fact. Why. I met n man named Kin- sella , who lives at Papilllon. I asked him what ho was doing there , nnd ho said they had got him thcro to vote , and vote ho did. " Mr. Trncry Talks. William Tracoy , who was Lowry's oppo nent in the primaries , said : "I was at the polling place nnd it was full of people. Slaven was acting ns the repre sentative of the democratic city central com mittee. I was not regularly in the Hold. I was in the hands of my friends. I had not sought the place , but they said they couldn't get any other person to run , and 1 gave way rather than have it go abroad that Lowry was the choice .of the people. All I wanted , or rather that my friends wanted , in the election board was one man. They tiled to get him , and Pat Hegly was nominated. But Slavon , acting for the citv central committee , would not. put the name. So tlio Lowry people eicctod their own board. Some time later , I was on the outside in the crowd and Lowry came up to mo and said : 'I3illy , I am sorry I did not know you wanted a man , and I am sorry that this dirty kind of work has been done. I don't know exactly who it was organized the polls in my behalf , but I know it was done only when the people found out that they could not get a chance to poll in a de cent manner. ' I saw somejof our leading citizens in the ward go to the polls and then 'turn away in disgust when they saw the rabble at the place. I don't ' know , exactly , who orghni/ed the opposition , but the names of the olllcers are the same us those pub lished in Tins HIB. : " "Aro in favor of ' you Lowry's returning to the couliclli" "Mo , sir. Our ward is pretty well sup plied with improvements , but our people are not in favor of a man who is for our ward only. Wo are friendly to and tttUo an Inter est in the city. Wo want n man who will work for the city and not for himself alone. " "Let me have an instance of Lowry's working for himself. " "Take the case of tlio viaduct. Ho got an assessment against property almost a mile south of it , people who were bonclittcd but little ; while for Callahan , at the corner of Mason and Eleventh streets , the man who was most bcnclltted by the viaduct , ho pot dninngcs. Hesidcs.tho assessment runs down to Ninth street and then snips down south until it tnltes in a certain lot , and In this manner avoids Lowry'W > wn property. We had the matter up at the engine house meeting , but wo couldn't got him there. " 'Will you run against Lowr.yJ" "I don't knOw , for thffrousons I gave to you before. Aiy friends were to have met last night. If tlioy think I ought to run , I bhall respect their wishes. " Keel man's Methods. Mr. Holbrook , who was a competitor of < Joe Kcumiin'a as republican candidate for the council frqtn the Fifth ward , was seen yesterday. lie stated that n number of his friends had urged him to run Indepen dently , but until to-day ho had hesitated to announce himself as an independent candi date. Ho has been assured of the support of many of the besl men in the ward , and has decided to step in nnd make a determined contest for a seat in the council. Incidontly ho was asked concerning the reported irregularities in the Fifth ward re publican primaries on Tuesday. Ho replied that ho was forced to believe that such re ports were founded on facts. In the HrsF place , ho oolioved thcro were more votes polled nt the Into primaries than there were voters in the ward. At the presidential elec tion Nov. ) , the ward polled a strong vote and nearly every known voter came to the polls. Altogether there was less than 1,200 votes deposited then , and yet at the Into pri maries tlioro were 1,415 votes polled. This was strong evidence that something was wrong. Mr. Holla-pole said ho know of several actual cases where men wore non-residents of the ward , yet wore rushed In and voted for Redman. There Is no douot that the re peaters also got in their whork. One of the men loating about the polls oven came to Mr. Holbrook and asked him why ho did not take the voters in troops to tlio neighboring saloons and treat them. He further -stated that there was any number of men who had voted for Itedman , and would rouc.it their votes for Holbrook , If ho would treat to whisky and beer. Mr. Holbrook , of course , refused to bo party to any such urlmo , Venison mid geese lunch at the celo- brntion ut Oscar's Saturday , 1018 and 1015 Fanmin. OIIITUAllY.

Omaha , Neb AN EXPLANATION I Hundreds of customers to whom we have sold overcoats during the past few weeks , expressed their astonishment and inquired how it is possible that such garments can be sold in the regular'way at snch figures. To those and to thousands of others who cannot understand this , and think that the goods must be inferior because we sell them so cheap , we will explain that the reason lies only in the buying. The warm weather prevailing for the lat few weeks has been especially disastrous to the clothing trade. Manufacturers are overstocked and discouraged , and to realize cash they offer goods at ruinous prices. This is the chance for the wide-awake and large retailer , Our ample resources enable us to take advantage of such opportunities , and thus it is that we are now offering Overcoats which were made up to re tail at $15 , $20 and $3O , at one-half and less these figures. The over- ft whelmingsuccess which we have had with our overcoat sales , has emboldened our buyer , and induced him to make several big deals. We have opened during the past few days over 5.000 OVERCOATS AND ULSTERS , All from first class manufacturers. "We intend to make just as quick work with them as wo did with our first purchase , and if our former prices have created excitement , the figures we put on this last lot , will do so still more. GOOD CHINCHILLA OVERCOATS , with heaviest serge lining , well made , at ? 3.75 ' ; other houses a.slt § 8 for such a garment. GOOD CHINCHILLA ULSTERS with plush collar and cuflUiued with heavy ca'si more , very long cut and an excellent storm coat at Si.75 ; regular this garment would cost about $10. A lot of ELEGANT CHINCHILLA COATS , lined throughout with fine quilted satin , corded edge , satin sleeve lining and of excellent workmanship , we have marked § 7.75. This garment wo had intended to mark ? 9 , but we made such a lig hit with our first § 7.75 satin lined overcoat , and so many customers were disappointed , within the last few days , at not getting it , that wo have decided to mark this the same , though ib cost S2 more. Ve , challenge any house in this country to match us in that coat. We are opening every clay novelties in our furnishing department Yesterday we got in an elegant line of Silk Mufflers and Scarfs for holiday trade. Prices as usual , just about : one-half what others charge for such goods. Plain Figures and One Price. j ! > 0 Corner I4th and Douglas Streets , Omaha.
