Ats o'clock Lawyer Strlcldcr , who , in cm-
Junction with laiwjcr Thomas , nets M coun

door , mid after I lint feral least nn hout the.
elevator wait kept busy

reporter enteivd the room , and like one man
the fifty prohibitionists a HMO to tlit-lr feel
mid Invited him out. 'Iho Invitation was ae
ceptcd , but the giapo vine was applied As
soon us the Intruder lias been removed a
guard was stationed In the ball and lir\
Holt assumed the duties of chairman
I lo opened bis remarks by saying "That
man Uosewuter Inn an unknown quant It.v ot
gall to send one of his men here wit bout'uu
Invitation "
Mr. Stiicklcr got the lloor , and In carefully
selected . ' " ( !

"True enough- * put m Mr. Strlckler , but
I want logo on it-cord eoivcctlv In this unit-
ler. "
' Tin : lli.i. has treated us In a rude nnd
discourteous manner , and 1 think it should ho
denounced. " said Itev. Shlmi.
"H sliull he , " piped Lnw.vei-Tliumas , " .md
lhat fling at ns tuiilgbl was the most das
tardly outrage I ever heard of. "
" \ \ bat one' ' " came fiom a In-whiskered ono
In tbo corner who vvas recorded as ,1 M.
Chambers
'I bo article headed 'Stfielder's Hosts of
Kin.1" yelled a do/on voices
"Let us get down to business , " said tlio
chilli man ,
"Mot until I have told you inniPtbiinr '
snld Lawyer Thomas , who had been giad
milly edging to the table thatiis \ covered
high with piles of the prolntdt inn handbills
printed for live illstribiitlou , and known us
the "lliib.v Humble Her "
"These papers , " continued he , "an1 being
printed nl a Job ufih-e in the city They lost
us $10 a thmiMiid , nnd HNl.t ( Hi have been r-
dered. They mu.st be paid for , and wo aio
shoit of money. "
" ( icnllemen , what will von do about this' "
ashed Mr. Holt , the preacher
"Take up a collection , " inturned alimom-
dividual who wore u sign of nnnppioacldiig
bcani.
bcani.Vo
" \Vo \ can't do it ; wo will need all of the
mot.uv on election daj , ami then there-aro
10D.WKI tickets coming from Lincoln tomorrow
anutlio'so will have to be paid for on the
spot , " spoke up a party who was evidently a
member of the finance committee.
"Let this drop for the present , us wo are
beie fur business , " said tlio chairman , as ho
lingered nl his nccUtie
" \Vo \ want to bear the reports from Hie
vniioiis wards. I understand that this Is u
mooting nt which the members of nil of tlu <
ward coimnlllros arc piosent. "
The reports w cio submitted and the regis
tration to date was carefully guno over , hut
ni-4-ordiiiir to the repot I not an illegal vote
could be found.
'There mint , behoiuething wrong , for those
neer giu/lers are not placing fair in this
deal , " said the chairman
" 1 thought so myself , " answered I.avvjcr
Slrickler , "but the lists are cnrrctt and I
object to challenging n name that uppeari up
to this date.
"Theio is more that I wnnt to say1 con
'
tinned the Imv.ver " 1 want to see'workers
at every polling place and 1 want lo see n fair
vote , for 1 do notbclii-vo that vvo cnu afford
to In row any obstructions In the way ol a
Irco ballot and an honest eoirit. "
"He's gone to the enemy "
"Put him out'
"Wo don't pay for tint Kind of adv ILO , "
and a score of siniilnr sentences were liiulcd '
at the lawyer in bis own ollice. lie bold his
ground nnd addressed UKcroud as follows
"Tho mayor , the Uty council , tbo school
board , the business men and the Omaha
papers are inminst us , ami we bine "got to
go slow hero In t hlr city. "
"Theie are many .scntiminLs , " said Lawyer
Thomas , as ho a-tsnined i standingpiMlifon.
"I have canvassed thf situation and I don t
think we can afford to attack the people of
Omaha If we want lo conliniiein bufiucs *
"lie's growing weak , ' ' yelled tbo irowii
"Not weak , geiillcmen , " ciinlinued the
> peaker. "but like Mr Stickler , I think we
huio interests t stake. Let the vv Idsk.v
men d their worst , and tbev e.in not
cuiry the city b\ more than lfiliui ) majority
Say they get this mnjoril.v , we can then beat
them easy onoiigh , for ouUsido of Dougla
county , if ( Mir cammittccinen do not lie ,

reason I say , go.low m Omiihn "
It wiii evident that the irowddld nut sun !

quiet mid a ititr upper lip. no nhjc-ilu.n vvus
ollcied.
Cli.ulcs I'onoypr was then roasted to a
turn b.v Hoy. Holt , who said. "That man ha- >
proslitnted his ulllee and lent hlmsilf to the
rum sellers , and I hope lu > will leain vv li.d I
think of him. Ho has been trying to low
blackmail upon the tench'-ra ' ol Nebraska h >
sending out Ids Inlnmoiis [ "tiers asking them ,

This giving of advice toiitlniii'd fur an
hour , wlulo the delegate- , went out by twos
and fours until Mr Stut-ldi-r and Kev Holt
