The information published in The Boo with reference to the strong opposition that Is being made to the election of Judge Mc- Uco proves to bo well founded , for John N. Baldwin himself let the cat out of the bac Friday nl ht , and did it In the presence of a lot of witnesses , all of whom will testify to his earnestness In the matter. A young bantling of the bar , who is somewhat promi nent in democratic circles , entered Charley Moore's cigar store and oilercd to bet $100 that McCico would DO defeated. A well known young democrat promptly shoved n frll'O bill In Ills face , when ho was compelled to admit "that ho did not have so much money with him. " 'Hold on a minute , though , " ho said ; "I'll go nnd bring you n man that will bet with you. " Ho loft the store and In a few min utes returned with Mr. Baldwin , and in the meantime the store had become full of pco- plo who were looking for something Intor- listing. When Baldwin came in ho quickly succeeded in convincing tlio democrat with the hundred dollar bill that ho would not bet , nnd then , turning to tno audience , he delivered n speech In which he painted Judge McGcc's character In very black colors. "If any of you fellows want to bet on Mc- Cicc , " he said , ' -I'm your man. I'll bet J100 , or $200 , or WOO , or Sl.lM ) , or $5.000 that Mc- ( ? co won't bo elected. Bill Pusey has got lots of money , and so have I. The difference between him nnd mo Is that ho saves his und 1 spend mine. And I'm ready to spend f.000 to defeat McGce. " He continued in this sort of n strain for ten or fifteen minutes , and from the portion of the speech printed above , it can plainly bo seen that the interests represented by Mr. Baldwin are going to leave no stone un turned In their efforts to defeat McGce. The latter still thinks ho will be elected , but It Is safe to say that if ho is it will bo after the hardest fought battle' tnat has been known In political circles in Council BlulTs fora good many years.

Tomorrow Is election day. Tlie politicians of botti parties have been buay for the past wcekort.vo tryliiR with might nnd main to mnUe votes for themselves and their parties , but within forty-eight hours their harvest tlmo will bo over and they will bo able to alt down and enjoy the fruits of their Industry , whether they como In the shape of plo or mud. The republican party has seldom had a tlokct so free from objection- ublo mc'n. Without a single exception the candidates are clean , honorable and straight forward men against whom thcru cannot bo the slightest breath of reproach. They are men who have uiiulu u success of their own business nnd can therefore bo sufely en trusted with the business of the city. Dr. J. H. Cleaver heads the ticket ns can didate for mayor. He has been n resident of Council H luffs for years , and has built m > a lartfo practice In his chosen profession. He stands as high among the citizens at large as among the members of the profes sion , which is all that need bo said. Thcro arc few men who have so many close friends as ho , and they have nil been won by his uniform courtesy , and above all by his un deniable ability. If elected to the olllco to which he aspires the peopleot Council BlulTs may expect an administration that will bo economical and conservative , and yet pro gressive In all Its branches. C. G. ammdcrs Is the candidate for su perior court Judge. Mr. Saunders has been a roslilcni of Council Hluffs since the sum mer of li&S , and all of that tlmo lias been engaged in the practice of law. He is in tne highest sense a self-macio man , and was not spoiled in the making. Through his own efforts he paid his way through Uralto uni versity and afterwards through thn l.uv de partment of t lie St.ito university of Iowa , and the discipline then received has added strength to his character and put him in touch with the worlclngman ivho is striving to maUo both ends meet. Since coming here ho has won for himself the esteem of his brethren at the bar and all others who know him. If he Is elected there 1s not the slight est doubt that ho will administer the alT-Irs of the superior court without fear or favor , giving Justice to all parties concurncd. James Mortenson , the candidate for ulilcr- man-at-largc , is : i representative business man , having been connected for some years with the Western Lumber and Supply com pany. He is u man of the people , wide- an ako , energetic , and has made friends of all who have met him , either In a social or business way. A. S. Hazcltou , who aspires to bo his own successor in the oflico of city solicitor , has a natural claim on the oflico from the fact that ho has made one of the best city attor neys the city ever had. That cases in which ho was employed have been lost Is true , but the lawyer wno has never lost a ease is usu ally the lawyer who has never had one. Out of nir.o cases tried by a jury in which the city was defendant , lite were won. Out of thirty-six cases tried In all by Mr. Hazolton , nineteen were won , while of the seventeen that were lost seven were suits on city war rants to which there was absolutely no de fense. Three cases have been submitted , but not yet decided , four have been settled and five dismissed at plaintiff's costs. There has been but one case tried during the last two years in which the city has been put , to any expense for assisting attor neys. That one was the case of Mitchell Vincent against the city. An attorney was employed by the city a number of .years ago , and he wai retained after Mr. Ilazolton's election because It was thought cheaper to keep him than to let him eo with the case half done. He charged the city $300 for his services , which covered several years. J. A. Goi'ham , the candidate for treasurer , has been in business in Council Bluffs for years and there is no one who can say any thing to his discredit. During the last four years he has been connected with the Coun cil Bluffs Carpet company. He is active , in dustrious and accommodating , nnd with Mr. G or hum in the treasurer's oflleo Its affairs will bo handled in a busincss-lllco way. The same may bo truthfully said of George M. Gould , republican candidate for auditor. Ho has hold the oftlce for ono term and has shown himself fully capable ) of attending to Its exacting duties in n manner that chal- lengcsadmiration. Ernest 10. Cook , the present city engineer , Is a candidate foi-re-eliction , and thoroughly deserves the honor. Always on the lookout for the city's Interests , his oflloo has been remarkably free from mistakes , which , in work of this kind , might cost , the city thou sands of dollars to repair. There is need of a man with a cool head for the marshal's oil Ice. and that is the kind of a head that Edward Canning carries about on his nock. He has been a railroad man for years and commands the respect of all who know him. A better man cannot bo given a vote for mnrshil tomorrow. William Arnd is the republican candidate for park commissioner. There is no salary attached to it , but a poor man can make the olHco cost the city thousands of dollars moro than it should. It needs a man who knows the value of tnonoy and has- Judgment as to how it should bo spent. Such a man is Mr. Arnd , and ho should be elected. The oflico of assessor , being n very Im portant one , all voters should carefully con sider the claims of u candidate for this po sition. Lou Dale , the republican nominee , certainly possesses all the ( luulllications of an excellent Judge of real estate and com mercial values , his residence ) of moro than fifteen years In the city , during which period huvo occurred many changes , Jilting him thoroughly for this work , integrity and n dcstro to sco justice administered to all. re gardless of rank or condition , will make Lou Dale n good assessor. The candidates for aldermen are as fol lows : First ward , W. C. Dickov ; Second ward , C. S. Hubbard ; Fifth ward , T. A. Browlck. These three gentlemen are well known In the business circles of Council Bluffs , They nro not professional oflico seekers , and the honor of a nomination was given to thorn , not because they were seek ing notoriety or n chance to got free rides on the street cars , but because they wore espe cially adapted for seeing that the affairs of the city are looked after in an honest , eco nomical and progressive way. During the past two years of doniocrtlie control of the council there has been an iccreaso in taxes which will bo felt o.v every property owner when ho goes to pay his taxes before thn close of this month. By electing the repub lican ticket from start to finish the city will bo In n fair way to go back to the days of about n year ago , when the republicans were In power nnd taxes were lower than they had been for years before. ii' TIII : UNDKRNOTKD In of Interl'Ht to You , Note the I'rlccs Dur ing" Our It ) Duy Siile.

Even society scorns to bo nflllctcd with general debility as the result of pro-election excitement. The question of "Who will yon vote for ? " of something equally pertinent , seems to have supplanted everything elsc-in the interest of the people , and society mat ters have consequently been at a somewhat low ebb. Nevertheless , there have been a few things on the society card this week , and they were enjoyed as so many oases hi a desert. The Blu.7 Strict M. I. Literary circle mot , last Tuesday ovonin ? at tlio homo of A. M. Johnston. Instead of the usual literary pro gram , the circle indulged In an "American character social. " Tlio house was decorated with bunting and with quaint old relics , tables , dishes , pictures , etc. . that have bc3ii In the family for generations. Even the spinning wheel was there. As there could boany character from M'J2 ' down to IS'JI , the costumes were varied and interesting. The most noticablo were : Miss Ella Johnston attired in her great- gro.it-grandmothcr's wedding silk , worn in 1777. 1777.Mrs. Mrs. Hazard ( In a costume worn nt a re ception in honor of Lafayette in 1S2I ) repre sented Mrs. Hess , who made the lirst Amer ican ( km. Mr. Wricht of thu Yotinsr Men's Christian association as George Washington was "Georgio" to the life. Even the bassa pro- fundo voice w.is not lacking. Mrs. Snow as Martha Washington was su perb.Mr. Mr. Kailsback wis resplendent as Lafay ette , while Mrs. Kailsback was a lovely Abigail Adams , In a quaint colonial gown , with powdered hair. Mrs. MacBrido looked very attractive as Constance Fcnomore Woolson. Mrs. A. M. Johnston took the literary 'caico" ' as Miss Ophelia , ami a really truly 'Topsy" ' was not wanting. Lou Hazard playIng - Ing the part of that li'tlo imp of darkness tt > perfection. Mr. Shoemaker , ns the redoubtable John Smith of history , was all ones'fancy paints him. And ho did notTiecl lonely , for Poca-1 liontas was there In colors and beads galore , In th > ! person of Miss May Hazard. Miss Leonard , Miss Maxwell and Miss Walker as Katherina. Grotehen Stuyvesant , nnd Kntrlnn Van Tassel , respectively , were Dutch maidens of New York to delight the eye and warm the licart.

B. Mooro. Miss L'Uira flight was a sweet Daughter of the Involution. Miss Margaret Llndsoy as Old Glory made everyone ono fool patriotic. Margaret MacBrido as a Quaker maid , ElsloPryor as un old fashioned girl , Djra Illncs as n little maid , Ednn Chamberlain as a star. Matllo Field as a maid of 18'JI ' , were all admirable. Games nnd music were In order. Elegant refreshments , provided by the circle , were served nt 11 o'clock. The M. I. L. C. . Instead of dying about Christmas as most clubo do , is gaining in numbers and Interest every week. The enturtainment given by the Hans Al bert Pnilharnionic orchestra at Dohnny's Friday nlsht was n musical treat of the most welcome sort. The opera house was well filled , but u program of such merit as was presented should have drawn an audi ence tnat would have packed the theater to the doors. The orcncstra , under Mr , Al bert's baton , showed Itself'off to tno host advantage in the "Obcron Overture , " playIng - Ing with a great deal of dash and accuracy. The Strauss waltz , "Sounds from the Vienna Woods , " sot every one's feet dancing , al though tno tlmo was changed frequently enough to remind those present that they were ut.n concert and not ut a ball. Mr. Albert delighted the audience by his violin solos , which were rendered in u superb man ner. The "Lepende , " by WieniawKki , "Spanish Dance , " by Sarasato and "Faust , Funtasio , " also by Sarasato , were played in thi ) brilliant style for wnich ho is noted , and the audience was so captivated us to demand two encores. Mrs. J. I. Cook sang two solos acceptably and was recalled each time. "Flirtation , " a dainty thing for strings nlono , composed by Stcok , wound up the program nnd took the audience so com pletely that n lopltltion wns demanded , in spite of the fact that It was the last piece on the program.

( Special to The Ueo. ) Nearly a year ugo the Klrst National bank of Cedar KallB , owned by William M. Field & Ilros. , wont to thu wall , and the depositors found that they had been swindled out of nearly 1500,000. The ureat- est excitement prevailed at the tlmo , some of those who had lost their all even threat ening personal violence. Indictments were promptly returned , but so far these men have succeeded In securing a'-postpouemunt of ( heir trial. Exasperated beyond measure a large num ber ot the depositors held a meeting a few nights ugo to devlso means of securing ad ditional counsel to assist County Attorney Uawson In the prosecution of the case , which Is now set for trial at the March turm of court. At this meeting It was decided to raise as much as possible by contribution , and a committee of thrco was appointed to wait on thu Hoard of Supervisors to urge It to help In securing additional counsel by applying county funds for that purpose. It has been clearly proven that Field Ilros , conducted thu business with the end In view of defrauding their depositors. A few years ago when they started the bank they had nothing , but the people were led lo believe they were very wealthy. Hundreds of thousands ot dollars were deposited , und Instead of receiving certificates of deposit , personal notes of the Field brothers were given. Strange to say , this transaction was not discovered by many until after the as signment. Others , supposing them perfectly safe , took these notes In preference , as they were promised 8 per cent Interest , while a deposit drew but 4 per cent. Since the failure tholr past record has been looked Into , and It hns been found that they failed In Pennsylvania In a like- manner several years ago. They were also extensive dealers In blooded horses , und frauds have heen dis covered In tlielr methods of business In deal ing with breeders. It has also been ascer tained th t they ewe thousands upon thous ands of pounds to residents of KnglanU , from whom they secured large sums by stating that In America the rate of per cent at which they could loan money enabled them to pay a greater per cent than louden * could hope to get In their own country , and at the same tlmo would make a neat sum for them selves. This money , It Is paid , was never re-loaned , but wont Into the coffers of thu Field family , and as they have nothing can not bo collected. Ho Could Not Hun runt KnmiKh. I100NB , la. , March 3.
