ADDRESSES BY SEVERAL CANDIDATES - Co"h."t Not to Jlom 'ElleluMel scM , hut thc ) : lo'clu'lt to H.lccl city 1111 COllty Irlm Corrll.t itule. 'fho ' campaign was opened by the Clttzen' : ' league of the Ninth ward lat night with an enthuslaltc meetng that was held In the hal at Twenty.nlnth and Farnam streets. There was between 1O and 200 cItizens anll thx- payer In flttofllaflCO. ( The venlng was Bent In listening to Ipeechl from the calldatl on the Citizen ? ticket. The meeting dllered considerably from the typical political meeting. The can ' dldates evidently did not think I necessary 'to spend all their time In telling what good , and honorable men they were , but devoted themselves to detailing the objects the Clt ! zens' movement was to bring about. W. I. 1lerstead. the chairman of the meeting . said that the republIcans were conb cealng the real IS9le In the campaign by raising the cry of "DJwn with ltosewater. " The cry was especially ralrd by those poll- tclans whom Tim lieu has steadfastly op. posed ( on account of their dirty work In PUb lie ohlice. Mr. Hosewater hall too many Interests - terests In the cIty to Join hands with boodiers "But the real Issue 1 ! not to clown floseb wate , " contnucd Mr. Kler'tead. "They howl that to throw the people off the scent. The real issue I between good government and ring rule The relJblcans , by nominatng almost a straight ticket of present olco holders , ask for a vindication of their lasl rascality with brazen aifrontery. I the can didates are elected being all members ot a I corrupt ring already , they wil be the more I able to carry olit the schemes concocted In m their Icret , iiieotlugs. It , on the other hand , the CI ens' candidates are put Into omco they will be free men In office. Therefore ' tore , as citizens , the pepple of the city t'houhl I band together to put down the whle.washed I gang which Is robbIng ths treasury , school I fund and other funds , even tim dog catchers fund. " J. J. Points. candidate for county judge , was vigorous In his cFnppro\'al of iartisan - ship In municipal affairs. lie said that he was perfectly willing I say anion to the man who voted tIe party ticket In n natIonal dcc - tion . A man should not he the slave , how ever , but tim servaflt of his party. Conse- quenty , when It came to a question of votng for a man who was nominated for olce on account of hIs party service pure and simple and a man who would conduct the affaIrs of time olce In a businesslike manner , the citzen without regard to politIcs or party should vote for the latter . "Tho anarchist or time socialist Is not the greatest : toe to good government " declared the speaker , "but tme man who always votes a straight party ticket , no mater who Is on I. These are the men who make corrupton almost necessary In the overnment. They I are men who really cause ofces to be bought and sohl ( and compel ' camldatl to edt them L selves lIke so many chattele. Consequenty Lp , . politIcs beccme n profession and honorble men will not mingle In It . "The citizens' movement has been organize In different cites to down this condition of affairs , and therefore Its work Is pralseworth I and should appeal to all hlg'l-mlnded ' citi I- zens. They use Ito money for candidates , but ndYlnco a platform which provides for the . Interests of all alike , and for the economical admInistration of gO\'ernment. Time citizen 5 of Omaha should support the movement. The Idea grew out of tim necessity ot overthrowIng r- Ing corruptIon In government " Mr . Points ( sPecially urged the voters to I down the Ilresent gang that was burdening tim people with taxes for theIr own benc11 t . and particularly for ni benefit of those who ; belonged to the A. P. A. They excluded every . One from once who did not belong td the organizatIon , 10 ihatter how honorab10' ' or bar I- eeL he might he Mr Points urged that blnl ' partIsanship should bo thrown aside nod that . citizens should VOte independently for their own rlg'lts and Interons. Thomas Swohe said that when ho was on the grand jury last February ha was com 1- vlnceel from the statements of the cit y olclah , ' who . were summoned before the jury that there was need for n change In I the city administration . lie was more cot 1- vlncl of I when ! he was called Into the cit .y treasurer'B omce to check up the account : Olsen told him that llolln's accounts were nil straight , hut wihin twenty minutes aft mr the money drawer was examined there was found a lollrtage of $24,000.

The struggle In the conventIon ot the I sw Itchmen's union center over the work of the commie or the whole , the revision of the constitutIon and the incorporation of the iif o Insurance plan. There arc many things In the by.laws all rules incorporated from tim e old switchmen'i union which are thought to bo inapplicable to a society having peace a Its alni On this account there will be some trouble and contention over time strike laws and the mrlevances. However some of the members may tell In reRarl1 to this nt- uullc toward railroads , time majorIty ot the delegates are In favor ot a non.aggreslve polcy , except In ths mater ot recognition. I Is felt that recognItion will bo easier gained by honesty and fall play than by a gr eat show 01 strength. In general the dele- gates have a great deal of respect for I Fttgcne 'pso Debs but their respect does not lead them so far as to be willing ' to Join the fate of their union with that t any union tending toward unIficatIon ot nil railroad Imnions Secretary Donohoe ot Kansas City said : "There Is no doubt that Debs Is one of tIme greatest labor leader In the Unll ,1 States , and Is himself very conservative. The only tanlt he has Is that he Is carted way with his own enthusiasm when enc he has been led Into a strIke. We do not want that kind of man over us , however able he may be In conductng a strike. Wo would rather have over us the man who can avoid a strike and at the same time uphold time dignIty ot the u nion . The strength of the union lies In its being considered strong consitng of able , conservatve immen and men who have the in.tim te rests of the railroads at heart. To always he on the aggressive Is not the best polIcy. Switchmen have the reputation of being the hardest men to mansge. They arc lmotS bloded at any wrong , real or fancied and , hence wo need n man who Is himself tar more conservative than the average macmn11 b rn' . "Grand Master Sweeney seems to In a great measure answer these demands. lie Is a man who has traveled mich , seen much , and has been almost all his working lIfe Identled \ Ih labor organizations. lie seems to know wherein their strength and their wealness lie. Moreover . when he began the organizaton of the Switchmen's union It was at 1 time when time Chicago papers had gotten the railroad labor organizations Into I dispute , and when Il was predicted that there t could never again bo a labor organiza- ton which could gain any recognItion from I the railroads . However , the prophesy has not been fulfilled and the Switchmen's union has h gained , according to its strength , greater all better recognition than its predecessor i mad . and from the outlook It wilt ha\'C a memborshlll m covring the UnIted States and Candad , such as will malte I a power forged god In the hands of an able body of di . rectora. " . Inasmuch as at the present time the In. troductory work of the convention has not been completed , the electIon of officers for the comIng year has not yet come before the ; c onvemmtion. The delegates number among them many men who have worked with their rairoads for many years , not strikers and I walking delegates , but men who by talthlul I work arc held In esteem by their resllttve c ompanies. I Is distinctly understood that the organi- zaton Is not a "strike" union , but a union : of men asking for rights and recognition ant I wiling to use all means toward gaining thos ends and yet wih the power to strike If such a course should be necessary. Grand Master Swaeney said : "The switch - men do not understand the power they have and they do not recognize time strength and the Importance ot this union. A strong union with good Intentions Is better for I ralroall : company than nonunion men. The union men may be always counted on and It bo known where they are at , but nonunion mon arc subject to the Infuence of agitators as wel 1 as time aggression of the employers. No , we have favor bad any trouble In being recognized : - nized , and we can safely say that fair treatment - mont of us by the railroads will always met with our most considerate . attion .

In many of the districts the work was delayed by the condi- ton of the election booths. Many of these structures had been but recently put In place l after ha\'lng been repaired and the tables , floors and stoves were out oC position and covered with dirt and refUse , In the first district of . C the Third ward the booth had been usell bY. the water works company ns a tool house and was fled with dirt so that the registratIon officials were delayed for over . an hour In gelh.g the booth In shape. As Is usual on the first day of regietra- ton , the voters were few and far between , notwihstanding the fact that there arc but three days for registration this year instead of five , as formerly. In the first district ot : the Third ward tlenty-two voters had been ! ngstered : at 1 o'clock out of I total of 30' ) voters In the lstrlct. In the sixth district ot the Third , out of 200 voters but twent- four had registered at noorm II the eighth district ot the same ward a better showing was made , twent.two votes of the 10 In the precinct having been registered at noon. In the tenth district of the Sixth ward but seven votes were registered during the first two , hours that the booth was open II the first district of the 'ourth ward out of 215 votes , but thirteen had been registered at nOln , and In the ffh district of the Fourth ward but eighteen voters had registered at noon out of a total number In the district of 226. ditrict Registration ofcials expected a good run of voters at the noon hour ali after business hours at night , but with the best that can be , doue the registration will fall tar short of one- ; third of tice voters : tl , and wi thus cause aim extra rush durIng the two remaining days of registraton , The two remaining days of regiLtration are Friday , October 25 and Saturday , November 2. .

They were royally entertained and every effort was made by the Augusta people to make their sojourn In the southern city a pleasant one. Ole of the most Important maters brought before the convention , rss the municipal ownership of water works plants. The dls- emission was one-sldd , but interesting. Chef ! Hellel as well nB his associates took the grourd that there was to rasn why any city , great or little . could not make money by owning its own water works. The chiefs from Augusta , Toronto and numerous other cIties where mUllclpal ownerhip had been trIed reported that It had been a success In every case. At the close of the discussion the delegates voted that It was the unanimous sense of the convention thate\'ery city sbouU own its own water works. Considerable time was also devoted to the discusion of electrolysis of wnter mails and anl some very Instructve pspers were read on the s.bject. The next convention will be held at Sal Lake City , and , as the Associa- ton ot ) nglneer of the Iacilc Slope will meet at Salt Lake at the same time , It Is epeete that time two organizations wIll be amal amated.

John Ireland , arcbbl hop of St. P aul . has consented to deliver n lecture In Omaha on the 1\'enlng of November H , fOr the benefit of St. James' orphan ge at Ben- son Place. Few men have made so profound an 1m- Ilressldn upon the public mind as the learned Archblshap Ireland of St. Patti The reason Is i obvious. A prince of the church he Is also a man of the people. A broadmlnded optimist , he possesses I towering intellect , which , nevertheless , Is pre-emnlnermtly pract- cal. Of n warm , genial nature , his sympathies - pathle& arc ever whit the suffering , Irre- spectvo of creed or Color Wih that prescience , which Is his peculiar gift , he sees the evils that threaten society , and he knows how the ) ' arc to be averted Ho Is convinced that natimlng Is more valuable to mankind In general and to the people of thl nation In particular as the unfolding and developing of some truth , whether poetic , moral or aciemmtlfmc . I Is clear that for a man to know anti feel n truth himself Is ono thing , but to be able to Impress the masses with that truth Is quite another thlni. lereln lies the secret of the arch- blshop's power. He can adapt himself to Ihe ( obtuse aB well as to the acute mind. The soldier , the statesman , the student of science , the overworked laborer thoughtful men of every class , have a claim upon his pympnthy and recognize the energy of his convietiomms. I seems to be a necessary condlt.n of his existence to scatter joys around his fellownien. Owing to the natural bent of his genius hIs orations have n richness - ness ot expressIon The flow of his Ian- guage Is like a full tropical stream , reflecting time luxuriant verdure that lies its banlls.
