in B humpbacked attachment In the ropcftl-
IngoIausQ declaring for bimetallism , built
tncnnt nothing , ns they never Intended to
rehabilitate silver until nn outraged people
Unmistakably declared themselves. Senator
Voorhccs was not overlooked , the speaker
declaring thnt thofnalana senator had stul
tified ft record of thirty years In congress.
The Idea of Intrinsic vnluo In money wns
ridiculed , nnd characterized ns the grandest
humbug over Invented. Ho Insisted that
Insldoof nine months Interest-bearing bonds
to the amount of frorrt $100,000,000 to $300-
000,000 would bo Issued unless the people
expressed themselves at the polls.
The tariff was then given a whirl , and the
protected manufacturers of the east were
placed on the senatorial gridiron , but the
money question wns to popular with the
speaker that ho couldn't keen aw.xy from It ,
and ho felt constrained to once
more toll how much good would fol
low , how general" happiness would
como , everybody would have work nnd
nil the wheels would bo In motion , whether
In politicians' heads or out , of them , when
the populists were able to put tholr financial
Idcai Into practical operation.
Carnegie was not overlooked , nnd a few
stones were knocked off lie Iron king's
Scottish castle. The speaker said It was
pelting to bo n vulgar thing to live In the
United States , mid the president hud found
It advisable to name a running mate of the
prince of Wales as the representative of
this country on Italian soil.
.1 nd so .Munrcll'n Dclont iiopinrcu.
"Strange things , " said the senator , "have
been soon in the last nlno months. After
twenty-one years of honored sorvlco on the
bench , Samuel Maxwell , a man who laid thu
foundation of our jurisprudence , wns
turned down because lie refused to bo a tool.
Ho wns branded because ho was nn honest
man. It has been argued that the election
of Judge Holcomb would keep capital out of
the state. If n declaration ID favor of
honesty in public officials will keep put
capital , then wd , had better got along with
out that kind of capital. "
The senator said ho had been charged
with assailing his own stnto and read from
the Record to show that ho had said that n
part of the mortgages retired In this state
last year were retired by foreclosure , and
that was all.
"If It Is assailing the stale , " said the sena
I * * tor , "to toll thu truth , It will bo assailed sev
eral times in the next five or six years if I
live. "
Ho concluded with n word picture of the
decline of Uomu nnd the graudour and decay
of 'Nineveh , applying It with the statement
that if the elective franchise was coo-
Bcientlously exercised mind could not picture
the possibilities of this country In the near
future , but if the yeomanry knuckled under
to the corporations nnd money power it was
not impossible that In ilfty or 100 years the
condition of the country would bo no better
than that of Homo today , with a nation of
serfs laboring for the lords of the manor.
"In the words of an ancient author , " said
the senator , "my adjuration Is , 'To your
tents , O , Israel.1 "
The address lasted considerably over an
hour and a half , and the senator was fre
quently Interrupted with enthusiastic ap
plause.
Colonel Klnclioloo'd AtliiroAs.
Colonel G. W. Kincholoo was next Intro
duced , and the Missouri campaigner told of
the landslide that Is booked for today , put
ting in an odd word in behalf of universal
suffrage.
Iln espoused the cause of the lonesome
Mr. Bryan , who , he declared , was to bo
placed in the shoes of Senator Mandcrson.
Ho sympathized with the First district con
gressman , insisting that ho wept when ho
saw that misguided young man so severely
sat on at the state convention. Ho also
stated that the republican convention wns
just as bad , and would drive 20,000 Maxwell
republicans to vote for Holcomb today'
He was positive that a few moro of these
conventions would wind up both the old
parties. /
Ike Hascall offered what ho know on
r
the financial question , Including something
about Stephen A. Douglas and the "per-
potudlty" of the union , but it didn't take
him long. Ho then readied ' 'tho subject
that is nearest year hearts , the local cam
paign and the contest for mayor. "
He said he know that ho would be charged
with unloading the same old howl , and
then proceeded to unload it. Ho promised
a few moro life passes to proscenium boxes
In the hereafter , and agreed to write sight
drafts for colossal fortunes for any who
mi'ght call at the mayor's ofllco after ho
moved In.
Ho told how great things ho could do for
a suffering ' and burdened people , and how
little it would bo possible for any of his op
ponents to accomplish la case they were
elected to the office to which ho aspired. Ho
eulogized Paul Vandorvoort. who nad Just
returned from Ohio and who was sitting in
ono comer reuay and anxious to "bloviate. "
Anothur Speech oil Hllver.
x Paul at once strode ponderously forward
with dllUculty propelling his. ubJomjnal bas-
relief toward the footlights. Ho Immedi
ately proceeded to tap the pitcher , and was
aeemlnjrly .disappointed to mid that
It captained water. He said ho
had been stumping the state of
Ohio all summer , having been assigned to
that work by the national committee , but ho
neglected to tell what the Buckeye state had
done to incur the committee's displeasure.
Ho then began to talk silver with a creat
deal of WJlso unit vehemence , saying thit 75
per cent of the wholesale trade of Omaha Is
done with the mining towns aud cities , and
that this trade has threatened a boycott be
cause of the attitude of Omaha's two repro-
eontatlvcs In congress , but ho hart written
the rainimr camps that these two votes misrepresented -
represented Omaha. Ho said ho was going
to try to prevent auch n calamity to Omaha ,
aud as the great publio benefactor said this
u halo seemed to settle about his head , but
It turned out later to bo the steam of a very
profuse perspiration.
Ho declared that the election of Hascall
as mayor would go out as a practical repudia
tion of the course of the city's representa
tives Iu congress , and then roasted the
Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce
us the nearest to an Egyptian mummy of
v anything that God over lot live. He lauded
Hatcali to Hie skies , In return for the good
things that the populist nominee for mayor
had said about him. Ho said Hascall had
boon lied about and abused , and ho had been
given u touch of high life himself , but ho
"had the satisfaction
of knowing that aown
under the heel of public opinion woula soou
RO the liars and thlovea who had traduced
him. "
1'iiut in prophet ,
< And then ho dropped his chin a couple of
notches and said that doubt , want , poverty
and affliction would walk in every street In
Omaha this winter If something wasn't done
to itart mibllo work. He remarked tlmt the
same quartet would perambulate the highways -
ways m all the cities ho had visited , but
could odor no valid excuse for having brought
/ such afttlctlon upon the places where ho had
been hospitably entertained.
He said that both the old partlei wore
moving Mother around , one trying to get
him to tell all he know , and
the other afraid that ho would
t tell. Ho aald thai both the present
United States marshal ana liU predecessor
, kriew something from personal experience
about Mother's method * while around lcils-
IstlTB halls in dnyu gone by , but he was
< dltoreetly silent about his own experience
around those name ball * last winter.
Neither did he lay anything about hU sud
den departure , when he packed hU con
clence and a pair of socks in a collar box
, nnd left for the national capital , taking- the
auue tr In with $5,000 thai hod been paid tea
> a uoterlou * telephone and telegraph lobbyist
by the corporations , but which was wanting
when ( ho expected time camo. Paul might
hoTe § Id that he wanted to keep the money
from bfllnirdiverted io corrupt uses in In
fluencing legislation , but ho didn't.
Wbta ho coacluded F ul WM pufflug like
n norpotso , nnd In order that ho might bo ox-
podltlou.sly transferred to the open nlr , the
meeting naa hurriedly adjourned.

,1. I * IVMifttnr nnil Otlicrn.
The republican end of the political cam
paign closed iast night amid n bin7,0 of en
thusiasm. The last Run was ilrod In Expo
sition hall , where an unusually largo crowd
of voters were gathered.
The speech of Hon S. B.ikor wa- the first
event on the card nnd In starting out ho dis
cussed national politics , after which ho got
down to local affairs. Mr. B.xkor In the
strongest terms declared that ho liked re
publicans who would support the nominees
of the conventions , regardless of whom they
wcro or T hat moral principles they repre
sented.
The nominees of the bar convention worn
touched up by the speaker observing th.it no
class of mun should bo allowed to dictate
who should bo nomlCated for Justices of the
district court. That convention , atvhlch
the bar nominees were endorsed , was full of
trickery as full as any political convention
over hold. Leaving thb m.itter Mr. Baker
said that he-regretted that Omaha did not
have a republican newspaper that would
support a yellow dog.
The little piny seemed to plo.xsn some of
the people In the audlenco , so much so thnt
Mr. Baker wns induced to spre.itl it on
thicker. Ho said that ho had investigated
the charges ng.Unst Oeorgo Bennett and his
connection with Uank Wrecker Mother and
had found that the sheriff was ono of the best
of men , with a reputation as pure as snow.
Thcro was a vocal selection by a quurtot ,
after which W , J. Comicll was introduced.
Ho said republicans had their differ
ences in primaries and conventions ,
but nlways presented a solid
front when confronted by n common
enemy. Mr. Connell thought that it was
tlnio to pull the hidden dagcors from the
boot logs and get ready for the next presi
dential campaign. The speaker insisted
that ho was In line for thu entire state ,
county nnd city republican ticket , and could
endorse nil of the candidates.
/ George P. Bemls , ho said , had made a
good and loyal mayor , and that his election
was assured. Ho was a mayor who believed
in slxtootj ounces to thq pound , and 3,000
pounds to the ton , Instoid of a lessor
weight , ns wan advocated by another candi
date for thu same ofllco.
John L. Webster , who was billed as the
principal orator of thp evening , spoke In
substance us follows :
Joint I Webster' * Speech.
"Wo are assembled this , the last night pre
ceding election , to take counsel together.
The result of the issue tomorrow Is ono that
Impresses inn as of the profoundest impor
tance. A year agoitho 05,000,000 people of the
United States wcro enjoying unlimited pros
perity. The channels of commerce were
tilled with trade ; the millions of wage
earners haa ample employment ; forced idle
ness did not exist anywhere ; the skilled mo-
chanlu and the artisan were continuously
employed , and at wages as high as had
over been paid In the history of
the country. The rich soil of Nebraska ,
that needs , only to be disturbed by the plow
to produce abundant wheat crops anil to bo
tickled with the hoe to yield Us millions of
bushels of corn , produced a vast crop of
cereals of every kind , and in the markets
they commanded the highest price. It was
the rosy day of republican prosperity. The
dcmocratlo and independent parties , which
are always disturbing elements , went about
finding fault. A false uronhot rose up in
Now York. Ho promised great things to
the people. The doubting Thomases called
him a stuffed prophet' The rock-ribbed
democrats thought he was a now Moses.
They believed that like Moses of old alt
things would give way before him , as the
waters of the lied sea gave way before
Moses aud thn children of Israel. But , leland
and be hold 1 ho proved n Phuraon and the
whole country became plunged in the midst
of the returning waters and hero wo are ,
standing Ufouf eyes ID the darkest period of
financial depression that the oldest living
man ovvr saw.
Labor li tuo
"During the- summer thousands of Idle
men with strong arms and brawny muscles
have boon walking the streets searching for
employment. The city council appropriated
$50,000 to bo expended for streer Improve
ments to give the laboring men something
to do. Public notice was given that all per
sons desiring to work should'come to a place
of appointed rendezvous. I am told that at
an early hour of that morning there were as
sembled 1.000 men with picks and shovels
and 300 men with teams and wagons. But
400 of this vast number could bo profitably
put to work. The rest , crestfallen and dis
couraged. returned to their homes.
"Tho last democratic national platform
contained two throats that paralyzed the
industries of the country. Ono was a
threat of the free coinage of silver to catch
the votes of the mining district ; and the
other was a threat of free trade , to catch
the votes of unthinking men. Thcso two
throats have turned thousands upon
thousands of laboring men out of employ
ment. These two threats have de
stroyed one-half the income from
all the crops. These two threats have
entered the domain of live stock and
destroyed eve'ry vcstlgo of profit in that ,
line of business ; have eaten up half the
value of the farm lands extending over
8,000.000 square miles of farming territory ;
have shut down factories , broken banks and
ruined thousands of the brightest business
men of the country ; have brought moro
suffering than all the wars and all the
famines since the plagues of Eypt. The
ttmo is ripe for the people of Nobrasica to
sound the war cry of a political revulsion by
voting the republican ticket. Beginning
with Judge Harrison at tno top ana lor
every other republican' on the ticket down ,
to justice of tl)3 peace. "
Mr. Webster-ridiculed the attltudo of TIIB <
Biins la regard to the state ticket , made an
appeal for Judge Harrisun , whom ho char
acterized as a great man worthy the support
of republicans.
The speaker referred to the editorial in
TIIR BEE of last evening which was directed
to him , asking the reasons for his support of
Harrison. But the speaker steered clear of
the questions propounded by TUB BBB , and
disposed of thorn by asserting that ho was
for Harrison because he was a republican.
MrVobstcr then attempted to ridicule
the editorial utterances of TUB BBB in its
appeal to railway omploics to vote their
convictions and not act like serfs and permit
themselves to bo driven to the polls lilco
cattlo. Ho asked railway employes to resent
the Imputation that they were not men , and
believed every ono of thorn would exhibit
manhood enough to vote for Harrison.
Mr. Webster closoa with a wholesale on-
dorsoinont of the county republican ticket
without exception , because the nominees
represented the principles of Farragut ,
Hooker , Sherman and Grant.
Charles J , Greene , the B , & M. attorney ,
was silled In the audience and was called
upon the stage to give testimony in behalf
of the republican party.
Short speeches were made by Gcorga A.
Bennett , Theodore Olson and others , all of
whom promised that today they would take
their medicine straight and without any
adulteration ,

LOOK OUT FOR lUMMtllACKS.
Campaign fiiimrdi that Will llo SprungIty
Leader * of Forlorn IIope .
The town was placarded last night by
Bennett aud his strikers. Dodgers wcro
printed by them , announcing in bold let
ters the withdrawal of Bonus on the
republican ticket and Fowler , the independ
ent nominee for sheriff. The Intention of
Bennett Is to out ono of these flyers on the
doorstep of every voter in Omaha , too" late
for the falsehood to bo denied by the re
publicans aud inaopendeuts.
This canard will not deceive many voters ,
but u few may bo confused by It. It la
absurd to think that Bomu will withdraw
from the , race when he is positive that his
re-election is an accomplished fact.
Mr. Fowler was soou anil declares that ho
has no intention of withdrawing from the
race for sheriff. Ho is making u splendid

August C.irstcns Is a Rardonor residing at
I 111) ) West , Lo.ivon worth street , wlio Is will
ing to niako nnicl.ivlt that J.V. . Ellor ,
aspirant for ro-clectlon to the ofllco of
probate judge , is guilty of tricks such us
would disgrace a real estate sharlr.
By never censing toil and frugality
Carstens and his wife , who nro Germans ,
have succeeded In amassing n Itttlu coin-
potonco which would put them above xvant ,
but Judge Idler has been seeking to deprive
them of at least n considerable ) portion of
tlinlr hard earned gains.
The family has resided in "Omaha for
twenty-two years and Carstons Is considered
ah honest and respectable man by his
neighbors. In 1885 ho ownol blocks - . " > and
10 on Fortieth and ticnvcmvorth Streets.
In the spring of that yo.ir Kllur and an
other party purchased this property for
812,000 , , paying $1,000 in cash with a second ,
payment of $3,000 and the balauco to bo In
notes and mortgages payable after several
years. The flrst-Ulftleulty Caramons encoun
tered in his dealings with. Speculator Ellor
was when the second payment came duo. but
in time this was satisfactorily arranged.
On April 20 , 1890 , according to the diary
kept by Carstens , when the mortgage upon
the property became duo , a stranger calling
himself Wilson apuoared at the domicile of
the Carstons , nttor having previously had a
short interview with the head qt the house
hold In the city , during which he confided to
him that several railroad men had been soon
looking over Ellor's property the day be
fore. Wilson hinted at mysterious moves
that the corporations were making in that
section of the city.
Having evidently failed to create the de
sired impression upon his .intended victim.
Wilson resorted to other tactics. Ho in
formed Carstens In a Very confidential
manner tUU ho hud looked over the records
in the court house and had chanced to see
his name as the holder of n mortgage on
blocks 23 and 10. This property his people
wore and had been desirous of purchasing
for a year or so. There was an obstacle in
the way in the shape of the owner , Eller.
who wanted u higher price for tllo property
than his people east wcro willing
to give. Eleven thousand Jlvo hun
dred dollars had been offered
for eleven lots in block 25 , but Eller had
asked $13,500. If Carstens would have the
kindness , his position as holder of 'ho mort
gage would enable him to obtain a deed at a
much lower figure than that asked for. The
land was to bo used foi ; the erection of a
largo four-story brick factory , plans of
which were presontdd. 'Carstons felt In
clined to cccommodato the stranger , especi
ally since it was evident that ho would have
to foreclose on Eller in order to get his
money.
Next day Eller appeared on the scene
asking for advice as to soiling the /property ,
because ho had jujj purchased a factory in
Chicago which was to bo used for the manu
facture of a pa to ( it articlo'that would make
Ellor a three tlnio millionaire. Eller also
told the story of u man offering him $ ll.ri)0 )
for only eleven lots. He was now sorry that
ho had not sold at the timo. The same
party ho knew was around yet , but where to
lind him was the trouble. His present
price would bo $7,500 and ho thought
that Carstens ought to take it for that.
Frequent consultations woro.hcld and Ellor
and his bogus real estate agent tried by
pvory means known to the profession to In-
Uuco Carstens to sign a contract for-tho pur
chase , the real estate agent making allur
ing offers and contending that ho would
have to see the contract signed ilrst
before "ho could pay over the $7,500 ,
vhich his people wore willing to
ivo. When the swindle , to which Eller
nd a man named Eaton were a part , was
nally exposed , Eller had the supreme audu-
Ity to sue Carstons for nonfulfillment of
ontract , alleging that his intended victim
nad agreed to sign a contract which the
alter says ho never saw. When the case
vas tried'boforo. Judge Irvine judgment was
endcrcd In laver of Carstons , wno , as the
videnco disclosed , was to bo made a victim
of Eilcr's snares so artfully laid.

H , B. Iroy , county treasurer , furnishes the
following reasons why Hobort I > . Carvlll of
Minneapolis is lighting him through the
World-Herald :
"Ho could not run the publla sales of 1803
to his own selfish personal bcuolt } and , to
the detriment of all others present , and be
cause I sat down on him for hit inqult * ap
plied to mo he stated to Ihosoproiuut that
ho proposed to do all iu his power to do mo
up at the comlngtilection , aud set about dis
tributing his lies at once ,
'Also later , in the presence of some of my
clerks , ho demanded at inn that instead of
allowing the taxpayers to pay tholr taxes ,
where ho hud bought them , at the same rate
of interest as though they were not sold ,
until the tax pale certificate was Issued ;
that I make them wait until the cerlltiuuto
of sale was made , and make them redeem it
from said salu In ordr that he might get
the SO per cent interest allowed by law , and
which ho was entitled to.
'To this demand I absolutely refused , and
stated that 1 was worldiitf Iu the Interest of
the taxpayers and not the tax ouycrj and
when I had favors to donata they would not
by any moans bo glvou to the latter and to
the detriment of the foriuur.
This reply added to the /armor trouble ,
and onlyronnwclhU revenge towards me ,
knowing that by ihjl defeat it would bo dollars
lars In tils. pockoK nlM 1 have boon Informed
that ho has said that ho will uio money , * ! !
necessary , to accomplish my defeat.
"Before I commence to muho out the nd-
vertlsod tax list I1 n\iul \ personal notices to
all partinsowingatAx , of * 5 and unwnnn.
calling attention to their taxes being unpaid
and what will bo the consequence if not
paid soon. I also allow them to pay their
tax after it ! ft 3 sold , and until tax
sale certificate Is issued at the aamo
rate of Intercut ) as though they
had not been sold , although the law
gives mo the rlphtl'to do otherwise. I also ,
instead of Including nil taxes duo , which
may bo for twp.-oc more years , In the tax
sale corttflcnte , as Jiroscrlbod In section 4000.
Cobbs.v's Consolidated Statutes of 1801 ;
said certificate bnarlng date of day of sale ,
as nearly all treasurers do in this state , 1
only Include the one year , and after ocr-
tltlcato Is issued I then make out all prior
.taxes and date the rccolnt the day It Is
"made , and not the day of sale , as the law
dcmanns.
"I have sent out written nollcos In largo
numbers , after the snlo and prior to the
making out of the certificate , calling the at
tention of the owner of the property that it
had been sold , and thnt u "certificate of
sale" will bo Issued In u few days , and by
paying It soon ho will save Uio cxpenso of
extra Interest and certificate fees , and
among the notices sent out was one to G. M.
Hitchcock , himself ,
'My oftleo is at nil times open to nil tax
payers , mid I have no dishonest motives to
conceal , and will soon convince all that I am
running my olllco on strictly business
principles. "

William II. Frahm called nt Tun 11 KB
oOlco last evening and made n bitter com
plaint over Ills' treatment In thu county Jail.
Frahm was serving a sixteen-day sentence
iu default of his ability to pay a fine of $13
and costs for fighting. Ho is an iceman nad
was employed by the F. L. Cotton Ice com
pany ln t summer. His statement , as made
to a BIB representative last night , was us
follows :
"After I had boon In the jail two oays I
was sitting at thu dinner table eating , when
Squires , the train robber , who is also an In
mate of the prison , struck a 15-year-old boy

Squires is a sort of floor boss there and docs

prisoners with impunity i Ho was McCluro's

fact , too , that James Corngan was released
last Saturday to go and register , with the
understanding that ho would 'vote the

horrible and the sanitary conditions of the

OMAHA , Nov. 0. % 'q tno Editor of TUB
BET. : Can it bo possible that the voters of
this city can bo persuaded into voting $1,700- ,
000 more in bands , roue entered up us that
much of an additional mortgage upon tholr
rapidly depreciating real' ' estate ? | Is money
flowing into their' purses so rapidly that
they will not mjas thls trifling amount ?
Will they stop a inotnent and think how
much that Is ? Why.jslr , thousands of the
people of Omaha yare on the.verge of being
ruined through special and other taxation.
Nor is it the ownerot ; real estate alone that
is suffering , but , most/-ofcall , overtaxation
falls , , iu tho'i cnd.jLinost 'heavily upon
the poor , iinatii who ! ' unsuspectingly votes
the bonds , hoping therobyto got woric , when ,
in fact ho is depriving himself of that
which ho uOyots most.
Prosperity for the osvner of.renl estate
means prosperity for the wage earner. Does
not thcoxpcricncoof the last two or thtco
years teach this ?
One million and a half is asked in bonds to
appropriate or 'purchase water works and an
olcctric plant. Now can any voter be
so blind as to bo led to believe that the
money can bo taken out to Fremont or Elkhorn -
horn and used to construct a canal ?
Has this country become so un-Araorican
that the wool Is to bo pulled over voters'
eyes in this way ? Is this the high estimate
that is placed on the intelligence of the men
who by their ballots wield the destinies of
this city ? The , time has come for people to
have a care about tho'llttlo matter o'f pro
tecting their property from confiscation.
That condition is almost upon many of
them.
The canal might bo all that is claimed for
it. I favor giving the project the fullest and
most favor.iblo consideration , but in. our
eagerness to build a canal" lot us not fool
away $1,500,000 for something elso.
Wo are asked for 8200.000 in bonds to build
a market house. This is ill-timed to say the
least. I am told the working people want
this done. I have talked with many work-
ingmcu and they are , if anything , moro
opposed to voting either the water works or
market house bonds than I am myself. BuyIng -
Ing out the water works or electric plant
will not , give the laborer an hour's work.
Purchasing a block of ground for $150,000 to
$100,000 aud paving the owner therefor will
not put a nickel in the pocket of the laborer.
Mechanics would probably got work for a
short time next summer In putting up a
$0,000 or $8,000 market house , but
the interest they would pay on the bonds
would moro than absorb these earnings.
There is ono advantage to bo gained in voting
ing bonds , it will so depreciate the value of
real estate that everybody can have all they
want , at their own price , if they care to
keep up the tuxes.
If the voters of this city think of remain
ing hero and caring for their property then
they must call n halt on bond voting. If
they arc merely g6ing to cut for shore , pot
what they can and walk out , then they will
just keep on voting all the bonds that any
body might happen to want. For my own
part I hopu and bcllovo there nro
thinking men enough among the voters
ers of this city to vote down the
water works and electric plant bonds , and
also the market house bonds , until wo can at
least asL'ortam to nn absolute certainty just
what they uro to bo usud , for , cutting ort all
chance for the misappropriation of a single
dollar. ,
Would any voter boifHaMsfled to locate n
market housn it ajiy hofiit between Twon-
tioth street and thdjr.lyor. south of Cumlng
and north of uuvcnwoTlli street ? Docs the
market house propb'HItltm mean what it says ?
If so , by voting the umds ( we permit Its loco ,
tion at any'point Within the boundaries
.njirned. Can ft be iwJs'Alblq that any voter
would favor placing If down on the j-Ivor
front cr in the burnt VJistriett Yet that is
exactly the prlvilcgd 6 gives the' council if
it chooses to do so , * '
Are we to got , uluior this proposition , a
{ 30,000 block of iround and a JIM.OUO market
house , or a $15,000' ' market house and a
91(15,000 ( block of ground t Hadn't wo hotter
ilnd out what wo anrvdling for before voting
these large sums.
Ilcascns enough have been stated In TUB
BEB as to why the xrtiter works ana electric
plant bonds should pf > jbo. voted , There uro
still many more. 'Ij > vi ) | not repeat thorn. I
will , however , nppcid tfl every tax : payer , bo
he rich or poor , baivUOr or bodoarner , to
throttle not only this , but' every bom )
scheme that may Hereof tor como up , unless
surrounded by such proper safeguards us
common business pruilcniu ) demands.
Lot the verdict be "No" on these bonds.

has boon made as to who is responsible for
the ticket aud the mailing of the same to

president , and Albert Johnson , vice presi
dent of the club , culled at THE BEE , and Mr.
Hclin made the following'Statbmcnt :
"It has been charged that the ofllcors nnd
members' ' of the executive committee had
prepared1 the tickets nnd had them printed
aud mailed. This is untrue. Neither the
.flicors or executive committee have had
anything to do' With the same. The ticket
nailed to the members contains the names
if three democrats nnd the remainder are
republicans. The three democrats nro John
Drexel for sheriff , J. E. House for surveyor
and G. W. Thompson for city treasurer.
Personally Mr. Johnson nnd myself believe
hat it will bo for the best interests
if the people to have these three candi
dates elected. Wo had nothing what
ever to do with the preparation of the
