The McKlnley and Hobart marching club of the Eighth ward held a meeting at Its headquarters at Twenty-fourth and Frank lin streets last evening and the hall was full. Sonic little routine business of no particular Interest to the general public was transacted before the speaker of the evening was introduced. The club by a unanimous vote decided to unite with the Eighth Ward Republican club nnd the Eighth Ward Business Men's Republican club on the evening of September 29 , upon the occasion of its contemplated Thurston demonstration , the purpose of the three clubs being to participate In the para do in u body. Ed J. Cornish was the principal speaker of the evening and ho was listened to with close attention during his speech , which lasted for more than an hour. Mr. Cornish confined himself entirely to a discussion of the financial question , paying particular at tention to the disastrous effects upon the worklngmen which would follow the tri umph of the free silver party. A large ma jority of the audience was comprised of worklngmen , and during the course of his address Mr. Cornish was asked to explain more minutely the points he made In his argument. JIls reply Invariably brought forth an approving burst of applause , in which the men who asked the questions participated , Mr. Cornish was followed by Dr. M. O. Illcketts , who apoko but a few moments ami then yielded the floor to Judge Cornish of Lincoln , who continued the discussion of the financial question commenced by his brother.

A tempest In a teapot has been raised by members of the Omaha Hebrew club , and the matter has been given almost as much sp.ico In the local Bryan organ as Is de voted to the Baurke Corkran meeting , which was attended by from 12.000 to 10,000 people. It appears that Prof. Scllkovitsch of Chicago cage was Invited to deliver n spech on the Issues of the day. . The professor , how ever , did not put In an appearance , and It Is alleged th.it he wus order to stay away by the editor of The Bee , who , according to the veracious fake mill , Informed Prof. Sell- kovltsch that ho would be discharged from tlu > republican national committee If he spoke to the. Omaha Hebrew club. This Is a fabrication , pure and tdmplc , and without a tOindow of foundation. The pro fessor called at The Hoc editorial rooms last week and has not been si-en at The lice ollleo since. No person connected with The Bee has communicated with him in any manner or form , and for that matter no person connected with the Nebraska campaign has any authority over his movc- mentii.

Kor the first tlmo In several months there \vai a full attendance of members of the city council at thu regular meeting last night. They were rewarded hy n very tame session. The finance committee had failed to effect a conference with the liolln bonds men yesterday attc-rnoou and consequently no report was submitted on their proiiosl- tlon to fettle the claim of the city. The following veto from Mayor Uroatch was sus tained : 1 huvo the honor to return herewith with out my niiprovnl u resolution Instructing the Hoard of Public Works "to do only such work IIH tuny be imthorlzod l > y concurrent resolution of the elty council ; provided Hint Biieh emergency work as la absolutely nec essary may be authorized by the specliil commltteo appointed by the city council , pending aetlon cf the council.

No Indebtedness can bc > legally created without the consent of thu mayor , nnd yet It Is proposed to grant this power to u committee which may or may not use It to the best Interests of the elty. H was understood In creating the committee that It should rxcretne a super vision over the authorized expenditures of the Hoard of Public Works , and not that It should have the power to pel form the leg islative functions of the innyor and council , which cannot be delegated. This commit tee carried through the cotinclrtu report which , had It not been stopped by the mayor , would have Involved the elty In an expenditure of from $5,000 to $7COO on Hick ory street. Thereupon Allen and Taylor resigned their places on the special commltteo on the ground that the mayor had approved the resolution before It was passed nnd had now endeavored to criticise the work of the com mittee. The resignations were laid on thu table. Clerk Schwcnck of the police court com municated the allegation that ho was un able to furnish the report required by the council without additional assistance. Hc- fcrrcd. WANTS PAY FOR A BICYCLE. Adolph Henwall wanted the city to pay him the value of a bicycle that he says was broken on account of a hole In the street. The committee on claims will con sider his case. The peddlers of the city presented n peti tion , in which they protested against the ordinance recently introduced which pro vides for their expulsion from the market place. Referred. The committee on public property and buildings wat , directed to obtain bids for moving the election booths. The poundmaster was instructed to stop Impounding dogs September 30. Resolutions by Kment directing the Hoard of Public Works to make slight re pairs on the Sixteenth street viaduct were referred. Kennard offered a resolution by which the rate of Interest on $17,000 In matured bonds held by the Harber Asphalt company was raised from fi to 0 per cent and or dered paid out of the sinking fund. It was stated that these bonds carried 6 per cent , but that by a council resolution the rate had been reduced. It had now been dis covered that the council had no right to reduce the Interest. The resolution wa- adopted after some discussion. D. T. Mount was allowed ISO for sprink ling Center street during fair week. A report from the committee on , sas and electric lights was adopted , which , took the position that.the. cost of moving electric lights from one location to another shouK * be borne by the city. The proposition of W. R. Bennett to sell n lot at Fifteenth and Jackson streets to the city was declined. A resolution by Kment directed the chief of police to "stop driving cattle over tlw Tenth street viaduct. " It was adopted and the next tlmo Chief Slgwart Is caught chasing a herd over that structure he is liable to cot pinched. Duncan's ordinance requiring a sanitary test nf Ice was passed.

Hopt 16'M , COCKRAN'S SPEECH Had such an effect on a silver compositor in The I3ec office that he reduced our $19.50 suits to $1.50 in our yesterday's ad The proof reader accounts for the oversight by saying that he thought it was the ad. of another concern who reduce all their $25.00 , $28.00 and $30.00 suite to $5.00 once a week or so , and he didn't see anything unusual about their claiming to sell _ $19.50 suits for $1.50. "The Nebraska" doesn't do business that way , We have too much respect for the intel.igcnce of our readers and we have too much faith in thcl lowness of our prices to stoop to such flimsy de ception or to think that the public would believe us il we did. What we did say and what we now repeat , is that the suits we are selling at $19.50 arc the perfection of ready made tailoring1 and the finest that can be produced. Incidentally we may rennrk that if these same suits were marked 25 , 28 or 30 dollars , they would command a great deal more respect from certain people , but they wouldn't be any better suits. The truth is , there are no better suits. Your tailor if he is honest , will tell youTthat he can give you no better cloth , no better linings , no better workmanship or no better style. He can give you a better fit if you are built on irregular lines too tall or too short ; too stouter or too slim ; but if you are a "regular1' we can fit you as well as the tailor and the fitting won't cost you a cent.
