They have secured the attendance not only of their candidates for j-.rmldcnt nnd vlco president , but also ol two or three of the most successful cam- palRn orators In their party.

Members of the com mittee on arrangement state that Mr. Irish will not follow llryan In his prospective trip on the fume day , but It Is expected that ho will naturally speak at several of the paints atvhti ! llryan stops. It Is also promised that John H. Fellows of Now York will come to Nebraska during the last week of the campaign and mnko several speeches for the sound money cause. The arrangements for Mr. Fellow's trip have r.ot been completed , but a very encouraging assurance Is given that ho will at least prak In Omaha. Messrs. Martin , Mcllugh and Spratlln do- clnro that even as far west -Chicago McKlnlcy'g election Is now considered a foregone conclusion. The pound money pause- , they say , has gained strength with rcmarKnblo rapidity , and nil the ante-elec tion Indications point to an overwhelming defeat 'or llryan. They assert that the I'almcr and Iluckncr ticket has proved to lie a potential factor In the campaign and that thoimands of democrats who were for merly for llryan bavo decided to vote for the sound money nominees. Aside from the Interest which will at tach to the presence of I'almcr and Iluckncr , Irish nnd Fellows , Douglas county vvlll be the scene of a rcdhot local light during the remainder of the campaign. Governor Holconib will spend his time campaigning In Omaha -mid vicinity for the populist ticket.

The republican county central committee Is conducting an ug- grrsstvo campaign , and encouraging reports are received from all parts of the county with the exception of n few precincts , where the poll shows some slight defection. These nro nioro than offset , however , by gains In other districts , vvllch arc nlnio.it unanimous for McKlnley and MacColl.

With their minds already made up thuy are no backward In expressing their preference fo ; the republican presidential ticket. It was the most cordial greeting yet ac corded to republicans In the banner demo cratlc precinct of Douglas county. On every hand hope for republican success this fal' wns freely expressed. President Schwcnk explained the objects of the meeting nnd called Henry Kclscy to tbo chair , who Introduced an first speakci Chirles P. Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle rcgrctteil thi ) absence of one of the announced speak ers. Congressman Mercer , who. by reason of serious Milieus In his family , vvaa pre vented from being present. In a comparison of the presidential candidates , the speaker alluded , to the popocratlu llryan as n man who had discovered nn enemy's countr ) In this broad land , when the unity of the nation wnis fought for and accomplished more than thirty jears 'ago. The speakoi explained at length the necessity of unl fortuity In xtandard. showing finally how the present financial Ejstem hail Its Inecp tton. tton.A. A.

On the money question Mr. lUtchlu took Issue with the popocrntt who assert the commission of tlio crime In 1S7.1. This ho said was really committed In 1SC5 , when Leo handed over his sword t < Grant and car loads of confcdciato pape money was struck down. On account of lack of tltno Mr. Holler , another speaker of the dny , gave way to J. Cornish. Sir. Cornish was very attentively llstenci to when he dwelt en this country an German's prosperity under n llkp monetar ) sjstcm. Statistics showed tha American prospeilty slnco 1S7.1. nud Ger ninn.v s since 1871 , when the abominable crimes were committed , stood unexcelled lierlln and Hamburg , which the speaker hai Msltod n short time ago , had doubled It : population , nnd Increased ut even a mud higher latlo In commerce.

Altgcld was cited as n leader of tlio oppos ing forces , much to his discredit for his wild statements and utter unreliability with dates and figures an the money question. Mr. Cornlili received a most liberal share We wish we could make everybody believe that promptness is prevention ; that there should be no de lay when you are losing flesh and when you are pale , espec ially if a cough be present.

Through the medium of your paper I ivould llko to call the attention of these of my race , who arc thinking of supporting the frco silver candidate , to a few facts. They nay "the rich are oppressing the poor ; " would like to know why they send tip nuch a howl ? Have they looked nt the con dition of the negro In South Carolina ? Senator Tlllnmn , one of the chief ad vocates of free silver , Is going about talking of oppression. Where docs n worse condition : xlsl ? Nearly Do per cent of the negro 'vote s disfranchised by on unholy election law , I think the negro might do better , In ninny wa > a , by dividing his strength , but nt tlili tlmo I think the experiment might prove too costly. We nrc entitled to more consideration nt the hands of the republican mrty than we get ; but I think we do not , ake the proper steps to secure It. Fifteen jenrs ago the negro tn Omaha found plenty of work on the streets , but now I look around nnd I see but few. Why Is It ? The reason Is plain Many of the men who now ask him to support Mr. llryan have brought about this condition. They bar him out of their unions. It matters not how much skill lie may poascss. Work Is necessary If we exist , and , ( inch being the case , we must work for those who can pay us Can the poor man , like our selves , hire us ? No. sir. The rich , unholy as they nrc now called , give us work. They say they want Mr. McKlnley elected. I sn > vvu ought to Join In the thiong that Is flght- ng for the honor and Integrity of the government , which some of us fought to prcserv o. Fully 20 ocr cent of my race do not \otc , but I am In hopes that they will , on Novem ber 3 , and I hope they will vote for the re publican national candidates , the state ticket , and such men for the legislature ns have money Invested In Nebraska. Men who have the good of Nebraska nt heart ; men who give cmplojmcnt to white and black people. Return Hon. D. H. Mercer to congress as n reward for bis untiring work.

The Omaha passenger agents have returned from the special meeting of the Western Passenger association , which occupied the latter pa'rt of last week. General Passenger i\gcnt Francis of the I ) & M. said yesterday morning , In speaking of the work accom plished : "Tho matter of the clergy bureau was up for discussion , Reports ehowed that the work of this bureau had been very satisfactory - factory throughout the year. Instead- each road within the bureau being required to pass upon the credentials and applications of clcrg > men ( or half-fare permits the work has been done by the bureau. Instead of keeping , say twenty reports , It has been necessary to keep but one. The work hnn been reduced to about one-fifteenth of what' It would bo should each road attempt to handle this matter for Itself. Not all of the roads within the Western Passenger associa tion were members of the clergy bureau during the past jcar , but the workings of the bureau have been so satisfactory that 1 think they will como In this > cnr. The Denver & Hlo Grande , the Rio Grande Western and a few other western lines were not repre sented In the bureau last jcar. 'Yes , we vvlll continue the clergy bureau , nnd ns nil of last j ear's reports will bo valuable for the coming year's work , the bureau will prove more effective than ever. "Among other matters decided were four homcscckcrs' excursions through this part of thp country. There will be two In No vember and tvvo In December.

Alstadt was represented by his attorney and the county clerk was represented by Assistant County Attorney Day , assisted by attorneys repre senting the republican county committee and the Republican Veteran league , of which George Cockrcll , the other nominee of the republican convention , Is n member. H was asserted by Alstadt's attorney thnt Alstadt had been nominated on the first bal lot to fill ono of the vacancies then existing and that ho received more votes on that bal lot than did Cockrcll , the latter being sub sequently nominated for the other vacancy. It was asserted that the convention , by this action had shonn Alstndt the preference. The. contention of the attorncjs represent ing the county clerk was tlut the proceed ings of the convention had nothing to do with ( he case ; that the county clerk could only bo governed by the certificate filed by the ofllccrs of the convention. U was shown thnt the certificate In the case contained the names of both Alstndt nnd Cockrcll , cnch being nominated "to nil vacancy , " and when the decision of the district court disposed of ono vaejncjv Uic certificate vvns null and void under the ruling of the supreme court In the en so brought by the tvvo factions of the statedcmociatlc convention two jeais ago. It was argued that the clerk hud ex ercised his discretion by declaring the ccr- tlficnto void and that the court could not compel him to exercise his discretion In nny specified manner. It was asserted tint this action on the part of the clerk simply cre ated n vacancy which the central committee alone vvas authorized to fill The arguments In the case occupied the court until about C o'clock nnd Judge Haxter took the matter under advisement.

The contractors who have been engaged In drilling the artesian well In Klmwood park have stopped work for the winter. They have drilled 1S4S feet and have not found water cnouR'n to rise to the top of the well. As the well ct Rlvcrvlew park Is only about 1,100 feet deep there Is some doubt whether It will be possible to obtain n oatlsfactory flow at the new well. The men In charge of the drilling assert that If they do not strike water they will flnd oil or gas. They have already gone through nve feet of carboniferous shale which was thoroughly saturated with oil and several other similar Indications have been encountered. roiiT citooic Uncle Sammy James vvlll soon have hlc new house finished and sajs he Is hero to stay.
