expense of running the city In that year and
this increase In our burdens of taxation has
been adrld when every man In our city Is
putting the knife of economy Into his business -

What are you going to do about I ? The
issue Is clearly defined. The question Is
are you going to say to these mfn : ' \Vehl

to them : 'You have letrayed the people ,
you have robbed them In their hour of need.

WhAT DnOATCI REALLY DID.
"As to William J. Iroatch , the people have
already decided ! once that they tll , not want
him nny more , because thEY believed ( \ that ,
however great his private virtues , he was no
respecter of the rights of the People when he
was In public ofce , beal\3e ha sunk the
rights of the people and made them seo-
ondary to his own political ambitions. Mr.
Irotch has told you that when he was
mayor ho saved the city the cost of an olco
and its rent. Of nil the ofcers In thc cIty
the mayor Is UI" man who shoul ! have on
office above all others. lt Is the man to
whom the people should have access , to whom
they should have the right of a henrlng. He
! ! I"ad , Io office and he left ! no record to _ show
coat ne ever was mayor or omens , so fl as
a record of his vetoes , his signing of bonds
or offIcial acts of that kind are concerned.
lie let a reord In other directons , howo\'er.
As ono of the last acts of his official C.-
reor . at the eleventh hour , he signed a le80lu-
'tlon instructing the ciy attorney to confess
judgment In the famous cas steal case by
which the city was robbed of nt least $20,000
During his administration the city's expenses
were such that tim rate of taxation was
greater than It ever was before or ever has
been sInce. In 1888 the tax levy was t5 mis ,
the highest ever known at that time , but the
next year the expenses of conducting the city
government hal so Increased tnder Broatch's
rule that the rte broke the record again , and
the levy was raised to 48 mIlls . To show that
this was extravagance and an unnecessary
taxation H Is only necessary to show that two
years later the levy was reduced under
Broatch's successor to 38 mills. Jroatch
boasts that under his adr.llnlstraton $3,000-
000 WHO spent In laying pavement In Omaha
I nn a young man and have seen malY Instances -
stances anti exhibiton ) of mOlumlntnl nerve ,
but I never thought to live to see the
tme that any man would ask for the com-
menllatol antI \ confidence and ullport of the
people 01 the strength of having laid the
mies of rotten wOOU"n Pavements that are
being torn up nol In dls city. ( Applanse. )
MIGhT HAVE SAVED TIl CTY ,
" :11 Dr03tch has ftatell that ho was not re-
Eponslble for the laying of these wooden IHve-
mcntt' lie hal his veto power and ho novel
u9Nl It against the which
thl pavements we are
now tearing up and replacing. The Board of
Public Works was protesting agaInst the
wooden blocks , but Mr. Broatch failed to
come to Its relIef . The trouble with
Iroatch Is that he loses ' his sense of
relponslblty to the people and subjects
everything to his overweening Political ambi-
tions. .
