Quie apart from the Importance ot elect-
InF a nonpartisan judiciary on next Tuesday
I Is or as much importance that you should
have nn honest , fearless and upright clerk of
the district court. ( \Iplame. ) The clerk
of this district exercises more poser In
determlnlnF juteal ! queston' than anyone
of the judges on the bench lie has the
handling of the jury papers. lie has the
hantlnF ant cmpanelng of juries , there-
tore every man who has a case In court
must take his chances on being fairly treated
, , , , or b21ng jugled out ot his rights The
" : , . ruestou to deter nlne Is-anll I appeal es-
lJeclaly to worldngmen more than to any
- other class because they are poor and have
no rights unless they are protected In our
courts-whether or not Charles A. Coe shall be
the district court clerk of Douglas county for
the next four year ( Cries of "lie will. ) ) I
want to tel you that you need only to look
to the record of the United States court to '
ascertain whether or not you want to trust !
your rights In the hands of a man who has ,
, been trained In that court ant who hag had
.
ample opportunity to manipulate jurIes. i
_ _ 1 I want to cal your attention furthermore ,
. jI as I proceed , to a letter among these stere-
l i optcon views which hi addressed by Albyn
Frank , candidate for district cleric . tn Alonzo
P I. hunt , the superintendent of the Omaha
II water works. That unholy alliance existing
between the water works company and the
clerk at the district court ought to be autii .

I there Is nothing surprising about any com-

Now . then , I have looked up this awful

between his tax record and that of his com-

; or a few moths : Ir. Coe was delinquent

hp has failed to show himself trnstworthy.
I cannot dwell long upon this subject . but first
and foremost , we know that when : Ir.
Iroatch was mayor of Omaha he caused taxpayer -
payer of this city the loss of O.OOO In
conniving with the conspiracy to pull up the
foundation and basement walls of the original
city hal building. lie not only consented

was In a position to get out of the city just
whatever he saw fit to demand. Before
there hall been a single scrap of detail planned ,
before the city of Omaha hall anything more
than the Ich : of the building to bo built .
$7.000 were taken ont of thJ treasury and
paid to that ( architect . low much of that (
money was the architect obliged to contribute
to Ilruatch's campaign fund that year ? lle- I
fore the building had reached the level of
I.'arnam street $5,000 more was pall the
architect. And when the building was coin-
pleted when they had paid ont r per cent
upon not only the building , but the con-
tents or the building , including the furniture ,
they got a fresco painter to fresco the
council chamber for $3.000. upon which also
5 per cent was paid for deslns. The um
total of the architect fees are over $2Z.000
for a building that does not cost In actual
amolnt within GO.OOO as much as The Bee

IHOATcn AND IS METHODS.
Allusion has been mate \y : Ir. Poppleton
to the method by which ho allowed the city
to lose at least $20.000 In the settlement of
the gas claim , and I also want to recall the
tact that In his frantic endeal'or , and desperation .
ton to get himself re-elected mayor or Omaha
during the primary eleetons preceding the
election of 1889 he hired , or hall Joe Kent
the street commissIoner , hire , over -00 men ,
under pretense that they were employed on
street repairs , and used them for primary
election purposes , ali then he ordered the
city treasurer to pay them , ali took out
several thousand dollars to pay those men
when they hadn't rellereI one dollar's worth
of service to the city of Omaha. 'fhat Is the
kind of a man who today asks you to elect ,
kl\l
him once more to the omce 0" mayor.
Let lS see as to his more recent perform-
ancea. Ito has been favored above all our
citizens by the peculiar ant thrifty firm
known as Chlrchl , Russell & Co. lie bas

praiser of the chatels and materials turned

t o penitentiary convict labor The leglsla-
turo on the last night of Its late session
voted $35.000 , or so much thereof as might
bo necessary to liquidate claims of the
penitentiary contraclor. What did Mr.
Broatch do ? Ito was the sale rlpresentatve
of the state ; ho was the arbitrator of the
state and he was expected to stand between
the state and time men who were trying to
tale advantage of the state. flow did ho
;
perform that duty ? lie went town there
something like seven or eight ( lines , spent
perhaps three or tour hours each day on each
trip and he charged $500 for services and
$500 for each or the two remaining arbhlra-
tors and then he allowed the appraisement
to Include every dollar , barring the X1,500
which the appraisers Fet ; that Is tl say , the
whole $31,00 was eaten up ( ( ointng to

ED\'AlmS AND JACOnSE
Lot us see furthermore whether or not
there Is any chance to elect anybody elet
than : Ir. Thomas Swobe , who Is thorough\

cured hv himself on the representation that
110- would - get - the " eudorsenuent ! of the ( II
zens' and democratic conventions. : tr. II
Thompson has not received that endorsement -

for Edwards. The fight Is squarelY between
A. G. Edwards and Thomas Swobe . anti thos
who throwaway their voles to Mr. Thompson -
son will help : Ir. Edwards ant they niay as
well Imol I.
Whle I am about it. let me cal your at-
tentou to another eandldate also upon he I
scone ticket . and of the same breed ohlalfdan
Jacobsen. lie Is a candidate for commls- ,
slouer of the Second district tie is also a I
member of the present council and one nf
those who , with Edwards . have re31stul
every effort to cut town expenses and bring
about retrenchment lut they have given
us at last a concession. They passed an
ordinance last Tuesday that \1'1 retrench
the city's expenses $20.000 In the year 1896.
That ordinance Is not to go Into elect until
January , 1806 . low , suppose that thIs elec.
ton should turn out to be In favor or : Ir.
Broatch mid the dervish counci , that ordl-
fiance would bo repealed before the first of
January conies around and passed over the
veto of Mayor Bemis. The very fact that
they passed this ordinance ought to torture
you to vote for the citizens' council candidates -
dates from top to bottoni . because If you elect
those counclmll-If you elect Charles H.
Brown and the different councilmen upon
the citizens' ticket , you have got the assurance
that the present council will not repeal the
ordinance , and you can rest assured that the
citizens' council would not repeal It. and
would not think of doing I.
There Is one phase of the situation that I
have not touched yet anti thaI Is the phase
attaching to our IJolce commission. Let le
cal your attention to the facts as they stare
us In the tace. : Ir. hiroatch by reason ant
by virtue of the fact that he Is chairman
of the police commission of Omaha , Is usIng
the polce or OmahJ for political ends In order
to promote his candidacy for mayor. The
police of Omaha arc not a nonpartisan body
at this tme , They arc malting themselves
very prominent ant numerously felt In every
part or the city. When the people were told
last winter that there was need or police
reform that there was need of a change ot
chiefs and officers . I agreed with some of
these plpll The crusade . however , which
they made for police reform WS a shtami
a delusion and a fruI\ They represented
that the police needed regeneration , that they
needed a change In the method of appohit
lug the commissioners , they wanted 10 take
the appointing power out at the hands 01
the governor . and they wanted to divest the
mayor of all executive power over the police.
What has been the result ? Instead of elevat-
Ing the stallarll of the force they have
degraded and demoralized it , and drawn It
down In the 1 Ire. They have picked out
men whom nobody would employ In any
capacity and lade them sergeants and captains .
talns or police. They have restored and
promoted to high rank ] men who have been
disgraced , and whom the records of the
police commission show to he totally unlt
and unworthy Qf any trust whatever. They
have gone further than ( that and they have
Issued an order , since they have become
police commissIoners , abrogating all the lines
amid all the penalties In what Is known as
the burnt district. What has been the result ?
During the month of Octaober they
have not mate rote solar ) ' arrest of
any keeper or Inmate of the disorderly houses
either In or out of the district Why this
extraordinary leniency to vice anti crime !
I Is a brazen bIll for campaign funds and
votes from the bawdy houses ( In order to
elect Iroatch as ma'or
TIE FIGURES IN EVIDENCE .
Now , let us look at It as taxpa'ers. ThE
last commission In the month or July cx-
pended $0,421. The present commission In
the month at October expended $7,831. The
rata at which the old commtssion
rte commlslon was run-
ning , the commission of which Charles H.
Brown was a member , al that rate the police
of Omaha would cost the city $7,052er an-
num ; at the rate at which the police cony
mission Is now run , during October . 1895 . It
would cost $93,000 n year. They have increased .
creased thc cost of the police $17,000 a year
slnco they have come In . and they have had
the audacity to usurp the power of the mayor
ant put In special policemen without consulting -
Ing hlm.They hired .1FhtE1n policemen during
the fair and they are still on the force , drawing .
ing their pay just the same as though the
fair were still runnln ! Those special pollce-
men have cost the city of Omaha $ ! 0.GG
durIng the month or October , and have rendered -
deret no service. These mEn are not needed ,
they are simply taxeaters. I you alow such
men as Droatch and Vamlen'oort to continue
ant contnue
In oinco then you wilt soon have no government -
ment In Omaha nothlnF but executions anll
mortgage foreclosures by the thousands. I
Is ( line for you to consider whether It is I
safe to trust the affairs of a city lee our In
such hands.
I wish further to cal your attention to the
necessity of brlnglll out every lan who Is
In sympathy wih munlcpal reform to the
polls before 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning
to assert their rights as American citzens .
Our city council has seen fit to force upon
you a tight at almost every polling place In
the selection of judges and clerics , when you
have no need of such a thing. This great
outrage should spur you on to your toll dut ) ' .
I want also to cal the attention of republicans .
Icans , and In fact all clatses or voters that
the ballots as they arc marked under our
present statute make everybody on the ticket
appear as a democrat or as a populiet. The
name or citizens does not appear on the ballot .
lot ; but that Is not the fault of the men who I
are on this ticket. You must always remem' I ,
ber the names or the men and tote for the :
men and pay no attention to the designation :
which the city and county clerks have mate
on the olcial ballot.
I want ale to cal your attention to another . I
other point , and that Is this : The nuemi who
arc runnln 6n petition tickets for the coun-
ci or any other office cannot possibly be
elected. Their names are on the official hal-
lot to create confusion and hElp the dervish
candidates. I Is a falco and a sham , and
everybody knots It that knows anythllF
about the men for whom these 16ttons have
been Bled. They have no chance on e.lrh
tQ be elected. Another thing I desire to emphasize -
phasize here , there Is no use of your throwIng -
Ing away your vote upon' any populist candidate -
date who has not been also endorsed by the
citizens and democrats for such men cannot
possibly be eleclll However much I respect
Dr. Peabody , and however much I thlnl of
him as a citizen and a gentleman , I must
lay that It Is chlhleh for hIm to run for
ma'or of Omaha at this tune . for he csnnol
possibly secure more than 1.500 votes In ( tits
contest . and the votes given for him are simply -
ply withheld from Charles I. Brown . who
ought to he elected by a majority ) of from
3.000 to 1.000. ( .ipplause. )
In conclusion . I thank you and I trust
that when the ballots are counted on Tuesday
night we swill find from 2.500 to 1.000 major" I
ly for the whole citizens' ticket. ( Trenren " !

\\'hll'Nt City In the \S'iurhd.
There cannot possibly bo a whiter city
than Cadiz , unless It be built of snow The
best way to approach the port I to take a
trip In one of the small steamers which ply .
between the ports of Iorcceo and SIJdln. As
you near the coast you see In front of you
a white mass which appear to be floating
upon the water just as ) ' 01 are. The first
thought or a foreigner Is that ho Is In sight
of an Iceberg The white mas glittering
In the sun , and rendered more dazzling by
the blue sea ant sky , looks exactly like a
monster Ice mOlntaln party melted . so that
the outlines or castes and his appear upon
I ; but enl ) for a second does the illusion
last fur you know there are no Icebergs In
that part , anti you are quickly Informed that
you are looking at Cadiz. No other town In
thin worl" present such a magic ap\ear. \
