the reporters occupied the .second car. The
third was tilled with two dozen young ladies

I Bud headed by the band and followed by the
> i army , formed n procession. The parade
parched out Douglas street to Sixteenth , nnd
"DuRjto Davenport , turned nnd marched to
' IJoyd's ' opera house , where they disbanded.
Commissioner Booth and wlfo then repaired
to the residence of Kov. C. W. Savidgo ,
Whore they took dinner nnd were ontor-
talned.
I Boyd's opera house was very comfortably
filled last evening at the Salvation army
review , where 200 red shlrted and red skirted
Boldlors occupied the stage. Several preach
ers , deacons , elders and church trustees were
{ ( altered through thu house , while Hov Q
11. Shinn was stationed on tlio right Hank
_ -Jrml Bishop Newman guarded a marble
topped radiator between the south entrances.
Itov Dr. Harsha was seated next to Marshal
.Booth on the stage , and near him was Kov.
C. W. Savage , who was applauded when ho
appealed.
A louo gallery god was inclined to vocifer
ate hi- , enthusiasm before the meeting
opened , but such romltict was unpopular , and
niter announcing that ho was a Salvationist
Dud didn't care who know it , the aforesaid g ,
( f. subsided. After that thu enthusiasm
otmlllutt'd only nt stated intervals , when
Major Koppcl issued the order to "llro a vol-
Tfj Xo.v. "
* * When Marshal Booth stopped to the tin-
lighted footlights ho asked ttie most mis
erable , most despicable Demon In the house
to s.iy "Amen. " Ono solitary but fervent
response floated down from the front row of
the balcony.
i The request for the happiest person in the
fcouso to say so called forth UOO heartv

in the I'nltod States.
I Marshal Booth said ho was the oldest S.ll-
Yntloiust in thu building , and thanked the
Lord that the army was on earth. Ho
thought his wlfo would como uoxt. Ho re
ferred to iho origin of the armv twonty-tlvo
nnd u half years ago , when his father ad
dressed n motley throng in Whltcchnpel.
Now the nrmy is organkcd In tulrtjeight
nations , has 10,000 commanding olllcers , mul
60,000 local officers , holding N > , UOO meetings
per month , and preaching the irospol to nine
or ton million people. Ho said thu army was
nil thli gs to all men , and had saved tens of
thousands who wore dead to the church
chimes and never crossed thu threshold of
, the house of tied.

Kov Dr HarShn was called upon by Mr.
Booth , and responded brlelly. Ho said that
ho appreciated tbo work thu nrrny wai
doing , mid thought ho rcprosentod fully ono-
half the people In the house who were pres
ent to show a similar appreciation. Ho said
the Salvationists deserved n aubitnntlalrcco | ? *
nltlon , and called for n subscription , which
yielded about ? tW.
Kov. Mr. bavldpo was also called upon nnd
Introduced ns n three-quarters aluatlonlst.
Ho said that ho respected ttio wearers of the
uniform nnd would continue to do so. whether
In the pulpit or pow , or whothur laid nsldo
from the ministry or not. Ho thought the
army represented good old primitive Meth
odism. Ho hoped they would organize a raid
on the burnt district.
A number of recent converts were called
upon for testimonials , which were feelingly
nnd forcibly , If not eloquently given. The
marshal directed the recruits and Insisted on
vigorous exertion on the part of the snare
drummer , who ilnally protoUod that ho was
not asleep
The service concluded with prayer bMrs. .
Booth , after which the soldiers Indulged In n
grand hurrah nnd Jublleo. Several cltl/ons
wont forward to the platform and were in
troduced to the visiting ofllcors.
The occasion was n very pleasant ono , nnd
madu many friends for the Salvation sol
diers.

Yesterday some of TUB Bnn's yoUng mon
asked a tow of ttm leading republicans o
Nebraska for nn expression of oplnlotion the
pl.in to hold the next republican national
convention In this city. Here is what was
gathered In reply :
William F. Coburn : You bet , I am for the
convention In Omaha. Wo can take enro of
tbo convention , and wo ought to hnvo It.
Judge II. J. Davis : I would lllto to see the
convention In Omaha , but I am afraid wo
wo could not tano euro of the crowd.V <
have not facilities for the accommodation ese
so many poopto. 1 would HUe to sco it hold
In Chicago.
Judge ( Justavo Andersons I think wo
ought to have the convention , and wo can get
it If wo only go to work In the proper man-
not.
Major Furay : I nm for Omaha all the
tlmo.Vo ought to make nn effort to secure
the convention. Wo oucht to cot It. The re
publican convention ought to bo held in the
west to pot some genuine western enthusiasm
Into It. Wocan tnkoeaio of the people who
will attend the next national convention nnd
wo ought to make a strong pull for it.
Hon. E. P. Uoggon : Yes. You may put ,
mo down for Omnlm with both feet. She Is
n hummer on general principles and Is so
recognised by the world at largo nnd the
United States In particular , and If I were
pressed for a furtner opinion 1 would say
Unit I truthfully bollevo that no ono can
roach perfection in this llfo unless ho be
comes a citizen of Omaha. Experience has
forced mo to this conclusion , as well us many
Others that I know of.
Brad D. Slaughter : Omaha is the best
place in the United States fo. ' the convention.
it Is the center of the continent , and the
heart of the great republican constituency of
the nation. Undoubtedly a great deal of
good , politically , will result from holding the
convention lit the west.
Major T. S. Clarkson. Mo man over got ,
anything no didn't try for. and we will never
got the national convention unless wo try for
it nnd try hard. A national convention of
either party Is n great advertisement for any
citv and Omaha ought to try for it.
John Peters- Certainly , I'm for Omaha if
it can bo brought here , but In cnso wo should
get it , there should bo great efforts made to
entertain the crowd. This would necessitate
increased hotel facilities. If the people of
Omaha expect to hold conventions hero they
must look after those things.
Hon. W. J. Council : Minneapolis seems
to have made un her mind that she citu't
handle it , nnd if she can't wo can't. In the
llr-.t place , no effort that wo could make
would secure the convention for Omatiu , nnd
in the second place , wo couldn't handle
It. if wo got it. It wouldn't ,
do the city much good anyway.
The people who would bo brought hero arc
politicians nnd not capitalists , and not ono in
ton would stop to inquire the price of n
corner lot. They would all have axes to
grind nnd would not bo on tbo lookout for an
investment. It would advertise the city a
little , but Omaha is pretty well advertised
already. The convention would bring 10,000
people hero and the hotels couldn't ' begin to
handle them. They would have to go to
private houses , and tuat would ba unsatis
factory. It would bo all right for a religious
convention. The thing for us to do is to wait
four years and then wo will bo in shape to
jump In and make a fight for the convention
that will moan something. Our location Is
the very best , but the city Isn't quite ready
for it.
Hon. Alvln Saunders : Wo can't hnndlo
it. Our hotel facilities are too cramped. Wo
ought to have that $1,000,000 hotel. If Mercer -
cor and McShano had their now hotels up it
might help us out , but it is too big for us
just now. I am afraid lots of people would
bo dissatistlcd with their accommodations
and the convention would glvo Omaha a bud
name for that reason. If wo get it I will do
my share , and more , too , for I nm an Omaha
man all the time. Still I don't think it satis
factory to visitors on nn occasion like this to
quarter them in pnvnto residences. They
want to be down town in the hotels , right in
the middle of the excitement to see every
thing that is going on. We are In as good
shape to handle it as Minneapolis or Kansas
City.
lion. Oeorgo W. Llnlngor : Of course wo
want ttio convention , and wo can handle It ,
too. Perhaps wo nro no bettor able to handle
It than Minneapolis in the way of hotels , but
wo can do as Chicago did with the triennial
conclave. They quartered the visitors In
tents on the lake front , and wo could got as
many tents as wo wanted. A tout is a
mighty line place to sloop in warm weather ,
and the convention wouldn't ' lust long. The
bulk of it wouldn't last moro than a day and
wo could take rare of it easily.

BRATUICH , Nob. , Juno 15. [ Special Tele

questioned loading republicans today in ref
erence to the holding of the next republican
national convention In Omaha.
Senator A. S. Paddock : I am decidedly in
favor of the convention being hold in Unmhu ,
and think wo are entitled to it. Few cities
In the counuy hnvo better facilities for the
great gathering , cither in rail or hotel ac
commodations. Nebraska will give this con
vention a royal welcome.
Hon. S. C. Smith : No city In the country
1ms bettor facilities , nor no section
bettor claims for the convention than
Omaha It should como to Omaha
by all means , nnd Omaha being nearly the
geographical center of the continent makes
it the most easily accessible. I am most
assuiedlyin favor of the convention being
hold in the motiopolls of Nebraska nnd of
the Missouri valley.
Hon. J. B. Wbston : Omaha ? Whv , of
courso. Wtioio else should the convention
bo hold ) Wo are entitled to it , and it Is a
comnlimont on Nebraska and the west tlmt it
should be held at Omaha. No city in the
west has moro accommodations or hotel
facilities , nnd it is easily and readily reached
by rail from every quarter of the country.
FHKMONT , Neb , , Juno 15. [ Special. Tele

mlstauo , It seems to mo , with the present

injury to Omaha and the stnto to not have

It is simply a question of hotel capacity.
With this assured , no man in Nebraska

-1 Some small manufacturers in New York make a specialty of making the ve r
best class of clothing that is made in this country. We quote one of them who had
carried over more than they wanted , and with them it was either sell cheap or pack
away for next seaaon. As we offered to buy all they had at 60 cents on the dollar
spot cash , they said tajce it.
The bulk of the suits are worth from $20 to $30. They comprise some of the finest plain and
fancy worsteds , as well as cassimeres , and 75 per cent of them are imported goods.
They are now on our counters , and we will throw the store wide open and give you
YOUR CHOICE OF ANY

THIS MEANS CLOTHING FOR HALF WHAT IT IS WORTH ,
In order to give all classes a. show , we'll throw all goods worth less than that price into a
