Co nil nil for ri > MHiiri-rM < 'rllitK nu KiitliiiNlimllc One , 'flio republican county central committee' met nt CrctRhton hall yesterday afternoon nnd organized for the coming campaign , The new ofllcers were elected , but It was decided to leave tlio matter of calling the county convention for a fnturo meeting. Chairman Lewis called the committee to order and announced the election of the now chairman o the first order of Charles Unltt of the Nlntn ward , George A. Day of the Polirth , Charles A. Ooss of the Ninth. H. M. Waring of the Sixth and O , U. Williams of Elkhorn precinct wore nomi nated and the first ballot elected Mr. Will- lams by the following vote : Williams , 27 ; l > ay , 17 ; Unltt , 7 ; Ooss , 1 ; Waring , 1. In taking the chair Chairman William * expressed his appreciation ot the confidence that had been reposed In htm by the com mitted anil nrgi-d the Importance ot n more thorough organization In order to win a handsome victory In Douglas county this IM for the p.irty that had "brought fortune to the pockets of every farmer and workIngman - Ingman in the land. " Ho suggested that the chairman wan but a small purt of the organ ization and that he should rely on the Active co-operation nnd advice of every republican , Charles F. Tuttle and W. A. Mcsslck were nominated for secretary. The first ballot showed that Tuttle had nine-tenths of the votes and before It was completed he was declare , ) clcctod by acclamation. 1C. J , Corn ish was made treasurer In the same manner and In response to repeated calls he spoke briefly. He said that the republican party stood for morality and It must bo distinctly understood that no money would bo expended except for the legitimate purposes of the campaign. It had been heralded abroad by . the opposition that money was to bo spout In great quantities In Nebraska this year , but ho declared that the victory would be won without an effort to corrupt any voter. On motion of Charles Unltt the chatrmin was authorized to appoint an executive com mittee of nlno members , and Chairman Wllllamr , stated that ho would announce the committee ! at ci futnru meeting. JEFFERSON PRECINCT PRIMARIES. Petitions from voters In Jefferson precinct both for and against the Australian system In the primaries In that proclnict were re ferred to the executive committee , as was also a request from the Central Republican club of the Third ward asking to bo al lowed to name half the Judges and clerks At the primaries. The only other feature of the meeting was an effort on the part of Mr. Hcclfleld's deputy , Zimmerman , to make a little medicine for his seceding superior by Introducing a reso lution which provided that since oni Omaha publication had repeatedly made charges to the effect that Frank E. Moores was a de faulter , the county attorney should be re quested to at once begin criminal proceed ings against Mayor Moores. The animus ot the resolution was at once appreciated by the other members of the committee and It was laid on the table after llcdflold and his olllclouis deputy had re ceived a red hot scoring at the hands of halt a dozen speakers. Charley Unltt was the first man recognized and he exposed Zimmerman's motives In a manner that brought out repeated cheers from tlio committee. He said that this was the third or fourth time that such a resolu tion 'had be'en Introduced before republican commUteca and conventions. It had resolved llsclf Icito a question whether the committee should stand by Its nominees or by n man who would aasasstnato In the dark the man whom the republican p.irty had elected to the highest olllco In the city government. "I cannot claim the honor ot having been born In America , " continued Unltt , "but I nm American enough to bollevo that every mnn should have his day In court and that ho should not be declared to be guilty until ho has been convicted by a jury of his peers. I believe wo should stand by our nominees ns against the calumnies of his political opponents. This resolution comes from a man who , although he Is a member of the republican county centtal committee , Is en gaged In organizing clubs In the various wards of the city for the avowed purpose ot defeating the republican nominee for county clerk. If Hedflcld knew that Frank Moorcs was a defaulter uhy did he not say so. Instead of waiting until after the repub lican convention had declared that iMoores was the man whom It wanted as Its standard bearer. Hut no , ho wanted to pose as a martyr and stab the candidate of his party In the back. And now , 1 want this commit tee to say to Mr. lledfleld : 'Wo repudiate your charges. Rr i Independently If you want to , and we will nominate a man -who will be elected In splto of your treachery. ' " SKINNING AN INGRATE. E. J Cornlrih called attention to the fact that the matter raised by the resolution was not nn Issue Ilk this campaign. It had been fought In tha last campaign and the people ple had repudiated tint charges and elected Frank E. Moores. Moreover , the resolution was practically a criticism ot the county attorney , nnd what right had this com mittee to declare that the county attorney hail neglected his duty upon the evidence that was before 117 John 0 Kuhn said that certain Individuals who did not oven vote the tepubllcan ticket Boomed to bo trying to malto this a post > mortem campaign with the assistance of the popocratlc organ. Ho scored Hedflcld and declared that this grand stand play was too'npparent to deceive any Intelligent man. 1) , L , Johnson of West Omaha bald that ho had been a political friend ot Itcdflcld's , but when Rcdtleld assumed that he was greater than the republican party , that ho vas the only pure mnn In the party and the only ono who was competent to bo county clerk , ho could not endorse his position. Why was this resolution Introduced ? in.CO was as plain ns the nose on n man's face that It was purely for the purpose of mak ing political capital for lledfleld. He thought It would get Into the newspapers and ndvor- ) tlso his Independent campaign. Zimmerman obtained IheMlpor to explnn that the rcBoIuton was not aimed at the county attorney , and In response to a ques tion ho admitted that ho did not Intend to vote for the republican candidate for cpunty cleik , IIo was freely hlssod by the lobby , and after Fred limning and several others had spoken In opposition to the reso lution , U was laid on the table * by a practi cally unanimous voto.

The first annual picnic of the Local Pas senger association ot Omaha and Council Uluffs was held at Sarpy Mills yesterday , and to nay that It was a moat auspicious occasion for the wleldors of the ticket stamp nnd the eloquent passenger agents Is to ex press the truth In a mild manner. It has already been decided to have a second an nual picnic. The festivities were attended by halt a hundred passenger and ticket agents , a large number of traveling passen ger agents coming from outnlJo points to bo present at the Initial picnic of the Omaha ticket men. The success ot the affair was duo wholly to the efforts of Messrs. J. S. McNally of the Rock Island and Court Car rier of the Milwaukee , who constituted the committee on arrangements. All the city ticket offices were closed promptly at 11 o'clock yesterday morning and Inquirers were after that directed to the depots , because "tho passenger men arc to day having their first picnic In ten years. " Through the courtesy of the management of the Ilurllngton railroad , the party was taken down to the picnic grounds on a special train which lett the Union depot at 11:15. : The party Included J. E. Buckingham , Fred Francis , J , D. Reynolds , Doll Uranchmid _ Ted Llvescy of the U. & M. ; George Abbott , George Buckingham , Gus Stiles and U. John son of the Union Pacific ; C. A.

The most Important event of the day was base ball game between nines captained y Court Carrier of the Milwaukee and J. 1) . leynolds of the Burlington. For the first ameii team Carrier was pitcher and Ander- : on was catcher three-fourths ot the time , ' 'or the other sldo Reynolds pitched and George Buckingham acteij as the receiving 3ml of the battery. Reynolds' aide won after i hot light of sixteen and one-half Innings by the score oC 25 to 13. Thu winning side nade fourteen errors nnd twenty-eight base bits , while the other sldo rolled up thlrty- dx errors and twelve bnso hits. George iVest of the Northwestern endeavored to act n the dual capacity of umpire and peace maker , and ho had sevor.il various kluds of rouble on his hands In every Inning but the ast , during the progress of which ho fled , lo fined ono player $1 and two players $8 ; ho ordered six man out of the game , and all but live of them obeyed his commands. The gigantic form of Rutherford was once dis covered purloining a base , and It looked as hough the game might bo stopped then and : hero , but trafllc relations were resumed after the trouble was drowned at the special refreshment stand of the umpire. Three gaily attired negroes , veritable poclalty artists In their line , had been gathered hi by the committee and escorted : o the picnic grounds. AVith their musical nstruinents and their songs , dances and recitations they kept the passenger men amuscj for several hours. At 5 o'clock a s > ccond section of the party arrived from Omaha , preceded by the Sev- nth Ward brass band , George Green leader. | There was another base ball game and sundry other games. After lunch had been served he passenger men gathered on the green sward and listened to a sacred concert by the band interspersed by variety acts by the : iegro artists. A photographer risked IiU life on the edge of a violent stream and secured "a counterfeit presentment" of the jovial group. To escape the ordeal a pair of the cut rate men fell In the drink , but were rescued after heroic efforts had been made to let them drown. GET HOME ALL RIGHT. The return to Omaha was made In a spe cial car attached to the Burlington's express from Lincoln. On arriving In this city a line of march was formed and , hwd&l by the band , the passenger men marched north on Tenth street and west on Fnrnam street to The Bco building , where "El Capltan" and "Directorate" were well rendered. Dur ing the roaditlon of the selections In front of The 'Bee ' building the "low joints" and their friends clcsped hands In a touching manner and cnclcled the band In an effective manner and encircled the band In an effective thing. On the march up 'Farnam ' street tlio band played almost continually the familiar ditty "Them Will Bo a Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight. " All the railroad offices \\oro cheered and another cheer was given for the now north and south Mne , tbo Kan sas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad , through the courtesy of which railroad the passenger men enjoyed the music of the band. Harry Druel , the veteran passenger agent of Omaha , had been selected ns tlio orator of the day. He was compelled to be In Chicago cage , however , and the address which ho had prepared for the occasion was read by Local Secretary Chambers. The address was a most Interesting ono to all the passenger men and was greatly appreciated. Among other things the patriarch wrote : "It Is proper to go back to the early da > s of Omnha , before the whlstlo of thu locomotive was heard on our hills ami plains , and when out passenger transportation was confined to steamboats auil the Western Stage com pany. In the spring ot 1SCO the Hannibal & St. Joseph railroad , In conjunction wjth the Burlington , put on a line of packets ( five la number ) between St. Joseph and Omaha , making nearly a dally line. At least It was so InUndcd , though the Missouri river was then , as It Is now , so uncurtain In Its move ments and stages of water and BO uncertain In Its snngs and sandbars that regular tlmo was out of the question , and often days would Intervene between the arrival of boats. EARLY COMPETITION , "My partner , Judge Porter ( now of Los Angeles ) , and myself wore appointed n cents for the packet line , The travel was large , thu competition , between the boats and tbo stage line WHS strong , and I assure you wo had lively times working for business. Soon after the establishment of the packet line thu Hannibal & St , Joseph sent a passenger agent hero. It was our old friend James Reed , now with the L hlgh Valley. Some of our experiences In gutting business were very rare. For reasons that are plain to every ticket agent they paid commissions In those days I was anxious to sell railroad tickets from St. Joseph. I wrote to the gen eral passenger agent of tbo Hannibal & St. Joseph requesting him to send mo a few forms as an experiment. He did so , sending mo eight forms to the principal cities of the country. This was the commencement of the selling of railroad tickets In the then territory of Nebraska , and It wan so success ful that It was but a short time until he i j i sent me a full line of tickets. I shall always remember selllni ; the first ticket In the ter ritory , over which occasion wo had quite an ovation. It was to New York via the Hanni bal & St. Joseph , the Burlington and the Pennsylvania railroads. It was the first coupon ticket ever sold In Omaha and wo celebrated It , I think , with lemonade. So matters went along until the Kansas City & St. Joseph was completed to Council JIlnfTi , when the packet line was discontinued and 1 remained with the K. C. as ticket agent. " nu OllU'f Ilrre , As a forerunner of returning good times the Wells-Fargo Express company has dc- cldcd to locate again In this city. The company's office In Omaha was abandoned .several years ago.
