PREPARING A REPORT.

my clerks at an expense of J100 a mont
to make up a detailed report which I coul
prceont to the county commissioners of al
moneys remaining In my bands , with a state
mcnt to whom HICKS moneya are due , niic
liMl It not been for the unforlunito olck
ness of Mr. Palmqulet. the clerk , who ha.
been In the hospital since January 16 , this
Blo.toinc.nt would have been completed. II
had , up to the time he was taken sick , got
ten through with over thlrty-aeven of the
dockets' . There still remain seventeen 'more
and when , this work1 te done 1 will be ready
ta present to the commlwlonera my report
effect a settlement and withdraw the bil
nnco duo mo , which will amount to a con
sldorablo sum , from the county. In othe
words , I have $5 duo mo for every dollar tha
I ovvo the county of Doug'os.
"Thero never has been a legitimate dc
rruuid made on mo for any moncjs that
owed that has not been promptly met and
paid. During my official career I paid the
lilghest salaries to my deputies and clerks
that were paid either In the county or city
buildings , and none of my employes can say
that lila or her salary was not paid promptly
on the first of every month.
"It Li charged that I have cmbozztei
money from the city. I have never handtct
nny of the city's money and have collectcc
no claims for the city. Tlio fact Is , and
City Attorney Connell will verify the state
ment , that I have valid claims against the
City today amounting to over $3,500. . As to
my robbing the school children of Omaha
and taking the patrimony of Iho schools , I
simply point to the fact that whatever claim
the school board may have against the
county Is collectible from the county under
my bond. If the court shall decide that the
unclaimed witness fees arc payable directly
to the school board they will bo cheerfully
paid , but I Insist that the amount shall bo
deducted from what the county owes me
nnd the county can afterward settle wllh
the school board whenever the law.vers can
agree upon the proper amount , or the courts
dcclJii what It shall bo.

by another comrade , Police Judge Gordon

was a candidate for re-election. Major Mil

The campaign In the western part of the
elty was opened by the republicans last nigh
with a meeting. In the Ninth ward , at Twen
ty-nlnth and Farnam streets. In Iho room o
the Ninth Ward Republican club. The meet
Ing had not been decided upon until eorre
twelve hours before It was held , and had no
been advertised , but , nevertheless , there was
a fair attendance of the republican voters
of the ward present. The gathering
called to order by Commtttecman TJnltt am

The first speaker of the evening wis City
'Attorney ' W. J. Connell , who began by etat
Ing that ho had been a. strong Broatch man
but llko all good republicans , was willing tc
support Frank E Moor s since the conven
tlon had declared htm to bo Its choice fo
mayor. Ho then proceeded to show that th
present campaign had been forced upon th
ppoplo ae the result ol a political Intrigue b :
which the regularly elected Douglas count
"state representatives and Senator Cvann had
been kicked out of their seats to put In popu
Hats , and by which 'Howcll ' was to receive th
fusion nomination for major. This con
nplracy was cloaked beneath the passage o
the new charter , which was alleged to b
a saving measure , but which , the spcake
stated , wou'd bn found to bo more expensive
than the old ono when the taxpiyera came tc
foot -tho bills for the coming election and fo
the now offices created. Mr. Connell aUc
showed that In their efforts to get the new
charter passed , the Douglas county popocratlc
Sog'slators had been outrageously dlrellct li
tholr duty to secure a proper exposition ap
proprlatlon.
Mr. Connell referred In high terms to Franl
Moores , speaking from his experience with
him fop years as an attorney while Jttoo
was clerk of the district court. Ho spoke
of him ao being whole-souled , opcn-hande <
and generous. Ho said that Moores hai
done no more than take what fees ho hac
been entitled to. Ho stated that the suits
that had been brought against iMoores were
commenced when ho was being fought on
the occasion of his running for the dlatrlci
court clerkship again. Since that tlmo al
these HulU had been wiped out. Some of
them Moore- ) had won. rinally Moorea hai
written a letter to the county authorities , re
questing that three Judges bo selected to act
0.3 arbitrators In a settlement between hlnisol
and the county. In conclusion , Mr. Connel
atatexl that Moores was entitled to royal sup
port.

years , Ftated that the fusion candidate had In

Inaugurate 1 Rgnlnpl Moored ,
"Ho charges acts that nro slanderous false
hoods , " said Mr. Troup , "and he ought to be
made to eat them. Some twenty sultn were
begun against Moorrs In a political cam
paign. If anything of a criminal nature
could have been found against Moores It
would have been discovered In these cases ,
Moores met every ono of them and they all
ended In Ignominious failure. Whcro was
Colonel lledflcld then ? His silence at that
time , when ho was In possession of any facts
ho claims he has now , ahovs that he Is not
overburdened with honesty In the statement
he h 4'made. ' Not a single man dares charge
trulifully that Mooreo Is a defaulter or that
Iii ever took a cent that the statutes of the
state did not give htm. "
Mr. Troup also referred to the char&o that
Moores was not a church man. Ho staled
that there was not a church association
whoso books did-not show that Moorca was
one of Its beneficiaries. There wan not a
charitable Inatltuttcn that had not received
flKslstanco from him ; not a man In want had
ever been turned away by htm without re
ceiving eld.
Harry C. Drome vigorously arraigned the
rucu d Howell lies made In tha legislature.
II- ) stated that the city charter had bccu
passed In answer to no request from the pub.
lie , but because of Honcll's ambition to hold
ol'iro. In the furtherance of this ambition
Hew ell had helped to unseat regularly
elected republican legislators In plain "vio
lation of his oath. Mr. Drome contended ,
thiitfcro , that the Issue of the campaign
was whether votes should bo counted as they
ate cast and whether the choice of the people
shall hold office.
Chairman Cornish of the city central com
mittee said that the democrats In the legis
lature had Increased the salaries of the
mayor and councilmcn , the offices they se
cured on the fusion ticket , and had reduced
the remainder. Ho also spoke of the pros
pect of the ring rule through the fire and
pollro board that threatened the city In the
v-vcul of a funion victory. Au evidence of
this ho Instanced the fact that one of the
members of the new board , and the chairman
of the democratic city central committee , a
saloon keeper , were working together for the
fusion ticket. If another democrat In the
shape of the mayor was added to the police
board the popocrats would use the police
board as a club to control elections.
At the conclusion of these speakers a mini
ber of the republican candidates spoke
Aruoug these were Fred J. Sackett , J. S
Gordon , lleecher HIgby , W. W. ninghnin
John 1 . Westbcrg. Tom Crocker and A. G
Rdnurds. Just before adjournment It wa
dooldcd to hold another meeting during tin
early rurt of next week.
woniciac NOW Foil SUCCESS
M of a (5noil City CJovi-rnineii
Unite to FlKlit FiiMlon.
The republican headquarters In the Hell
man block were opened for the campaign
yesterday and from now until after the olcc
tlon ono or moro of the officers of the city
contra ! committee will bo In charge to at
tend to all matters connected with the cam
palgn. The schedule of republican meeting
has been partially laid out nnd nearly al
the best speakers of the party have vol
unteercd to make ono or more speeches dur
Ing the two weeks before election. Thes
meetings will bo well distributed botweei
the various wards and tno people will b
given an opportunity thoroughly to under
stand the Issue that confronts them L-o.'or
they go to the polls.
Ono of the most encouraging Indication
Is the rapidity with which , those republican
who were defeated1 at the primaries are get
ting Into line In support of the ticket. Th
primary fight and the proceedings In the con
vcntlon were hotly contested and Monda
there were many republicans who had no
entirely forgotten the animosities of the con
test. But since then their sentiments hav
undergone a radical change and there ar
very few republicans who are not giving th
entire ticket their enthusiastic support. 1
number of city hall officials and others wh
fought desperately for Broatch at th
primaries and who were very much chagrlnei
at his defeat are now working for Moorea
and the other republican candidates as hari
as they workodl for their first choice
This Is a decided back-set to the hopes p
the popocratlc managers who had based thel
expectation of success oil the assumption tha
the hot primary fight would result In cnoug
defections from the republican ranks to allov
t-elr ! ticket to win by defiult. But the re
publican managers are assured that this wll
not bo the case. Outside of a few mal
contents of the Redfield fctamp all faction
have been brought together and the partt
will present a united front to the nondcscrlp
battalion that proposes to march from th
state house to the city hall.
During the last few days the rank and fll
of the party have begun to appreciate th
situation as It Is. They realize that If i
democratic mayor can be elected with flvi
councllmca to back him the city governmen
will bo at his meircy for at least three
years. During that time , with absolute con
trol of every department , he will bo able ti
build up a political machine that mtgh
prove as dangerous aa the Tammany Hal
of Now York City. They understand that In
the event of HoweH's election the city of
flees woukl * be filled with his satellites am
that the taxpayers would be powcrlcts In
the hands of a ring which represents the
worst element of the democratic party. The
now officials would not even be subject to
the check of public opinion , for , with * , helr
long term of service and the absolutecontro
of a powerful machine , they would be able
to defy public opinion.
The popocratlc managers have opened
headquarters. They are located on Flftcentl
street , next to the postoffice , and Police
Commissioner Leo Herdinan will hive gen
eral charge of the campaign. The time for
filing petitions by Independent candidates
will expire Saturday and It Is likely that
there wjll bo several Independent candidates
for the council. Richard 0' Mallcy and So'
Prince are out as Independent republlcar
candidates from the Third ward and It Is
slid that Henry Richards may become an
Independent candidate on the fusion side ,
Henry C. Bettcrman of the Sixth ward , who
has several times been a candidate at tbn
republican primaries , In also amuunced as an
Independent candidate.
The talk of the Independent candidate for
mayor poems to be without result. Mayor
Brontch said yesterday that he did not
propMe to come out , although ho said ho hail
been urged to do so. Wncn ho was asked
If ho would support Mr. Moores ho decline !
to commit himself , saying that ho did not
expect to have anything to do with the fight
In any way.

A l.igo ! and enthusiastic meeting was held
rwt night at Sehrotli'H hall by the Young
lion's Republican club of the First ward.
Pho club was formerly know as the Grand
View Republican club , but has been reorgan-
zed with a membership of over 100. Peter
Jolsen took the chair , with Frank Wooley as
ocretary. It was oxpectcd that Frank B.
loores would ; bo present , but Just before
ardor was called for , Ma regrets were re-
elved , Elating , however , tlmt ho hoped to bo
tresent at the next mats meutlng of the
lub. which will take place ut Forcflt hall ,
rlday night. Of the city candidates , John
VestborB and A , G. Edwards were present
nd delivered short speeches , In which they
iskcd the support of the members In the
omlng election ,
J. J , Dcticher next took the floor. He
nado an addiens which was received with
requcut cheers. Mr. Ilourher reviewed Iho
publlo life of Mr. 'Moore * , andi told of the
lany klnd-heartfd acts which ho had Known
ilm to perform during a period of sl.\ months
n which ho had worked under Mr , Jlooros
n his office In the county building. The
peaker Bald In connection with the attacks
nade upon the ex-clerk of the district court ,
hat while ho was In thy office , ho had never
mown of an oveicharge In fce\s , that In all
ha Instances the fees had been araeraed ac
cording to rules provide. ! by statute and tlmt
learly all of them were araesnnl and col-
octcd by the clerk ; In the office. The
speaker denied that there had existed any
rrKUlarltlea In tha collection of few and
challenged any person attempting to ques-
lon Mr , .Moorca' honesty , to ehow that such
vas the rase. The speaker stated that there
waa nearly 120.000 due at the present tlmo
onMr. . Moores' books which had not been
collected. Ho al o showed that In the
.hlrty-flvo caiw brought by perrons who al-
eged they had been overcharged In the tran -
action of legal business with the office of the
clerk of the district couit , that all of thorn
isd been dleuharged when brought to trial ,
.bat the amounts charged by Mr. Moorm
iiad boon sanctioned In every case by thn
ludye , and that ha li d brec completely ex
onerated from all charges of dishonesty In
the performance of hta office.
In relation to the charge * against Mr.
Moores late ! ) published In a local sheet over
the signature ) of the county clerk the
speaker said It seemed strange that he
should not have discovered the alleged short
ages of his superior before and proclaimed
them to the public. He would by so doing
have possibly proved a public benefactor at
that time , but b ) doing so at thta late date
It would appear that he wished to make
political capital out of a mass ot fabrications" .
The speaker wn.s of the opinion thnl the
county clerk was trying to burn the bridges
of his party behind him and wcs looking for
peifoncl benefits In the futuie from a party
which he hoped v oiild be In power. In con
clusion Mr. Boucher stated that the alleged
expose of crookedness In the transaction of
business by thexclerk of the district
court was p. mass of lies , circulated by un
principled persons to Influence voters who
know nothing of the truth.
Charle-s K. Wlntcro spoke along the same i
lines and was followed In short addresses
by CharlPs Schroth , William Peterson and
Richard O'Malley.
I'opnllHt Committee Meetx ,
There was a full attendance at last night's
meeting of the populist city central com
mittee. Louis Him presided and Mr. Nctaon
acted as secretary. Herman Cohen was |
unanimously elected treasurer of the com-
mlttco for the coming campaign. A com
mittee of five was chosen to confer with
similar committees from the free silver re
publicans and democrats. There * was a dis
cussion ot ways and means of conducting the
campaign. Committees on speakers and
nicotines were appointed. The meeting was
behind closed doors.

South Omaha News.
The result of the election Tuesday com
pletely changed the political complexion o
the city council. Tor a } ear from April 12
the council will be made up of aK repub
licans and two democrats. As Sam Mort o
the Fourt ward v.as elected by republican
votes It In expected that he will vote am
work with the republicans. If ho does this
Caldwell will bo the only democrat left to
represent his party.
All day > esterday the successful candidates
were being congratulated by their friends
and supporters , while the few democrats who
were bravo enough to crawl out of their
holes and show themselves on the streets put
In the time trying to explain how It all hap
pened. Various solutions were offered , but
the ono incut generally credited was that the
taxpayers had become tired of the old combi
nation and determined to break It. This was
most successfully done and tlieio Is great
rejoicing among the better class of people
In spite of all kinds of slanderous reports
circulated by disgruntled democrats , Kelly
won In the First ward over Walters by a
handsome vote. .
Mica lost fully fifty votes on account of the
mayor having removed Tom Kelly as clerk
of election. The mayor took this step last
Monday night and gave as his reason for
Kelly's removal that ho had learned that
Kelly had bet money on the result. After
Kelly had been notified of his removal lie
went among ) his friends and told of the treat
ment ho had received at the hands of a dem
ocratic mayor , with the result that Darretl
received nearly all ot the Irish votes cast In
the ward.
Another thing that lost Mies lots ot votes
was tholway the Bohemians had been treated
Many of them felt that Franek was eiitltlei
to a second term and that he bad been
tricked out of the nomination , consequently
they either voted for Barrett or did not go
to the polls at all.
Ryan lays his defeat to the fact that Hy-
lanil was running and took a portion ot the
democratic vote from him. Hyland expectei
to pull through on the strength of his having
worked hard to get a. street car line out on
Q street , but ho did not expect that his reso
lution offered In the council closing the via
duct and taking oft the motor car would
react the way It did. When the people of
the ward found that they were compelled to
walk just because Hyland tried to force the
republican members of the council to agree
to the letting of the contract for the viaduct
repairs to the highest Instead ot the lowest
bidder they turned against him and voted
for Tralnor.
Mullaly of the Fourth ward lias been
making enemies for some months past , and
the opposition to him look definite shape
when Tom Glllesple , a former supporter ,
came out solid for Mort and worked day
and night for him. Glllesple has a great
deal of Influence In the ward , and added
to this the disreputable tactics employed by
Mullaly caused a turning of the tldo in favoi
of the Engllshtran.
Councilman Billy Bennett of the Third
ward Is tickled to death over the result , as
It will give him an oppoitunlty to get even
with Caldnell for a remark made by the
latter at "i meeting of the council not long
ago. Dcnrett wanted some crosswalks fixed
up so that the school children would not
have to wade through the mud In going and
returning from their lessons. After ho had
made his wants known Caldwell arose and
addressing Mr. Dennett gave him to under
stand that the democrats were In the ma
jority In the council and consequently were
not compelled to pay any attention to the
wants of the republican members. "What
wo do give you , " said Caldwell , "wo give
you Just out of sympathy. " Bennett Is now
telling the boys to just watch him hand It
back to Caldwell at the first good oppor
tunity. "
There Is another good election story going
the rounds which shows how tricky some
candidates can bo when they try. Not a
thousand > ears ago a democrat was running
for member of the city council In the Third
ward. It so happened that ho had not suf
ficient wealth to purchase title to a piece
of real estate , the law requiring every coun
cilman to bo a property owner , One of this
man's friends was long on property , hut
short on good seme , and promptly deeded
to the candidate a lot with the understand
ing tliat the title wan to be transferred back
Immediately after election. The day after
election the real owner of the lot called
upon the candidate and asked that a deed
ho made out. There was some hesitation on
the part of the candidate , and It developed
that during thu short time the lot had been
In possession of tbo aspirant for political
honors ho had placed a $200 mortgage on
It , This mortgage the real owner had to
satisfy before ho again came Into possession
jf bis own.

liera of the Doaid of Education that body

LINCOLN , April 7. ( Special ) The pro-
ceedlnrs of the senate today were from a
political standpoint sensational In the high-
cat degree , Ttyt > bills vitally affecting the
railroad Interests of the alato were placed
on their final passage and defeated by pop
ulist and fusion votes. In the Interim be
tween the forenoon and afternoon session
the whole po > v'er of the populist party ma
chlncry was set In motion. Every argumcn
that could be advanced by the party leader
was brought to beatjon the recalcitrant mem
bore. When the senate rcconvoncd after re
cess It reconsidered Its action by which on
of the hills was defeated and after a seen
of confusion and excitement seldom wit
ncssoil In legUlatlVo bodies It was agalt
placed on Us final passage and passed.
The bill which created the excitement wa
ono Introduced In the house on Tebruary
by Representative Zimmerman of York
county and was ono of the laws recom
mended by Qovarnor Holcomb In his Inau

crnor aatd : "I am of opinion that ou

When tbo bill was placed on Its final pass
age the senate * was a scene of confusion
Tha roll was called and the bill received
sixteen affirmative" votes. Every expodlen
was resorted to to secure the soventeentl
vo'te necessary , but without avail , On the
other hand fifte-Sn senators had'voled ogalnat
the bill. The abspnUsonators were Mr. Farrell
roll of Merrlck county , and Mr. Orothan o :
Howard. A call ot the house was ordorec
and the doors were closed. Mr. Howell , o :
Douglas , made a vigorous protest againsi
the manner In which an attempt was being
made to pass the bill. The senator from
Omaha said tirno was too valuable to per
mit of It bolng frittered away. Itiwas evi
dent , he declared , that the bill could not
pass , and ho asked permission to changs his
vote from aye to no. Senators Gondrlng
Deal and other friends of the measure pro *
tested and Mr. Ransom ruled that no mem
ber could change- his , vote while the senate
was under call.
"Then , Mr. President , " shouted Howell , " ]

LINCOLN , April 7. ( Special. ) The firs
thing in the house this morning was th
committee leport setting Frldiy noon BB th
tlmo for fltal adjournment. The commltte
further recommended that no bills shal

a smill tempest.
Hull , who was chairman of the nous
committee , said ho did not want to see th
report adopted , and related the confllc
which took place before oven this repor
could bo agreed upon.
Sheldon objected to the whole thing. H
railed attention to the dilatory action of tli
senate on the appropriation bills , and sal
it would be Impossible to adjust these bill
and adjourn at the appointed time. H
moved that the report bo laid over unlit to
morrow at 2 30 o'clock.
Clark of Lancaster declared that the tlm
should bo fixed now. He didn't car
whether It was days or weeks ahead , bu
both houses would then know what worl
WHS before them. Several others spoke on
the same line.
Sheldon's motion was put anil declare
carried ,

that whereas the pop ticket failed of clcc
tlon In Lincoln yesterday , a committee

seeing Its way clear to success , took no
action on the resolution.
Several senate bills wore read the firs

ferrlng prisoners to the state penitentiary
The senate amendment raised thla pay to $5

of tha members agreed with him.

had been done.
Wcooter reiterated all that had been-said ,
and produced as evidence ? a memorandum ol
the bill numbers as he had taken them when
reported by the engrossing committee.
Clark of Lancaster said ho did not wish
to accuse any clerk ml tampering with the
