The advertised wrestling match between Hjalmar Lundln of this city nnd William Walker of Des Molnes for $50 a sldo nt the J Bijou music hall last night proved to be J purely nnd simply a tus.slo of strength. The affair , was of the ratch-as-catoh-can variety und was best two out of three falls. Lun dln won without trouble In two straight falls , ono being secured In sixteen minutes and the other In thirty. The two bouts were almost exactly allko with the exception that one WHH longer than the other. Walker sought the mat each time and remained on his stomach until ho was put upon his shoulders. There was very little science displayed. Lundln employed the Nelson , half Nelson and a leg hold exclusively and secured each fall by a combination of the latter two. Main strength did the work and main strength alone enabled Walker to hold out. The latter was never on the offensive. As a struggle between a couple of strong men , however , the match was of considerable Interest and was a source of entertainment to a big crowd. TennU Piny nt Newport. NEWPORT , R. L. AUK. 18. The first set In the Wrenn-Whltman match was won by Whitman quite easily , 6-2. In the second end set Whitman won the llrst four games , Wrenn winning the next nnd Whitman the next , making the score 5-1 , In the next gama Whitman won three points nnd Wrenn brought the score to deuce. Whit man's places were too much for Wrenn and he lost the game and set , 6-1. Whit man won the next two sets and the match was over. The second round of the tournament was completed In the afternoon with the Bond- Forbes match , which the former won In straight heats. Forbes showed but little of his brilliant work of last year , while Bona was very strong and had little dlfll- culty In winning. Wnltmnn's victory over Wrenn this morning makes him u strong favorite for the championship.

MERCER TO WORKING MEN Our Dave Talks to tlio Laboring Men's Republican Olub. REPUBLICAN PARTY'S ' RECORD ON LABOR Condition * Under DIITrront Ailmlnln- trntlotin Hliotv Where tlie Inter cut of the Wn te Knrncr 1 < ! on When It Come * to Politic * . Congressman Dave Mercer made a typical talk to the Laboring Meu's Republican club at Us meeting In Patterson hall last night. Having been brought up at the forgo of a village blacksmith shop himself , his soul filled with the music of the anvil , ho knows the value ot a worklngtnun to the nation , and this was his theme. Ho spoke In an off-handed manner , addressing himself to his audience as any plain , ordinary citizen would. Ho was frequently applauded. Sub stantially ho said : Fellow Worklngmen of the Laboring Men's Republican Club : This club Is an Illustra tion tonight of ono of the benefits ot a resi dence In republican America. I venture to say you cannot find such a scene In any other country working men coming to gether as you do to express your own honest candid opinions on tlio questions before our country today. It Is ono of the results of the magnificent system of our na tion. < And having worked In the harvest fields myself , having worked on the roads fa $1.15 a day and even for less than BO ct I feel competent to Buy that the workingman J | of America can rlso as high In the social , political and business scale as the men moro favored by wealth and oppor tunity. In America all ho has to do Is to toke cars of his opportunities and If ho has the brain ho will rife to the lot- The chil dren of the poor today nro Oo merchant princes and rulers of the country tomorrow. On the train coming hero I could not help thinking of the last message of President Harrison. You remember the beautiful pic ture the country presented at the close of Mr. Harrison's administration Labor was employed everywhere ; the w'.cels of Indus try were whirling In every city nd hamletj commerce and business wore nourishing on all sides ; the railroads and ' .ho steamboats were active. But the couutry went Into a speculative experiment , with the effect that in 1890 business was paralyzed ana there were moro houses vacant In Omaha In 1396 than could bo well counted. But you , by your suffrages , put that soldier nud statesmen , William McKlnley ( vociferous applause and cheers ) Into the executive chair at Washington , and see the result. Now ev ry man Is employed ; everywhere the wheels of Industry are going round ; capital Is no longer timid ; the farmers are selling their products at a good price and paying off their mortgages they are becoming creditors Instead of being debtors as they were and everywhere everybody hus the smllo of prosperity on his face. If you can find a vacant house In Omaha now It Is more than I have been able to do. You .should roll up a good republican majority In Ne braska this year and show Mr. McKlnley that you Indorse his administration. ( Cries of "Wo well ; you bet wo will ! " and loud applause. ) When War Wuii Declared. Take the situation of the country less than 120 days ago. A people at our very doors were appealing to us for deliverance from the hand of a cruel nation , which had been oppressing them for centuries. Wo knew what It was to bo ground down by tyranny and the great heart of our people went out to that struggling Island. Some dear people thought the president was a little- too slow In sending relief , but as soon as he found ho was justified he Issued the ultimatum to Spain.nml said it should stop Its cruelty. Why did ho not act sooner ? Well , wo In congress , knew wo knew at the tlmo when the loud clamors for war were being made that thcro was not powder enough In the country for just one round. But as soon ns the proper time come , as soon as wo were ready , as soon as we could rely upon an army of sufficient numbers , the gun was fired , and you know the result ( wild cheers ) a result the most remarkable In all history ! In an astonishingly short period of time wo raised an army of over 200,000 men and we were giving an old country , degenerate but Ignorant of her con dition , a good , sound spanking. ( Laughter and cheers. ) You know the kind of men selected for this army. They were taken from the ranks of labor and recruited from every class. From the fields and the fac tories , from the mills and the mines , from the counting room and the store came the American soldier. Why was our army so great ? Because wo know that behind It there were flvo tiroes , yes , ten times moro to follow If needs be. And why Is the Amer ican soldier the best on earth ? Because every soldier is a kingdom in himself. The value of the American soldier Is duo to our splendid system of education. In this country our boys at school develop their ability to take care of themselves. Then If war must come the American citi zen is of all men the most forbearing , but when be does nt last go In to fight ho goes In to win. The administration had confi dence In the American people , confidence In the American soldier made from just such material. I see hero tonight some Afro- American citizens , and I want to say that wo are prouder of the Afro-American than wo ever w.Te , because they fought so nobly Bldo by side with their white brothers and faced shot and shell so bravely. ( Loud ami prolonged applause. ) The Afro-Amerlcnn should bo a republican all the time , no ! only because Abraham Lincoln took care of him when ho needed help , but because the party has placed him side by side and on on equality with every other man. Wouldn't Let the Solillrr * Vote. Wo had a little trouble In congress nhout which I wont to tell you. We wanted to glvo the soldiers who were fighting nt the front for us n chance to vote , but the popu list , free silver members defeated the bill and deprived the American soldier of nn opportunity of exercising his suffrage. ( A voice : "We'll pay them up for that1) ! ) As long as the republican party Is In power the country Is growing. It has given the country the protectlvlo tariff which makes the wheels go round , und when thf wheels go round those who nre employee must eat , and thus n market Is created for the farmer and business provided for the merchant. It Is n wheel within a wheel Parties make mistakes , but It Is better to try to do something nnd make mistakes than not to try nt all. Some parties ore nothing more than organized perpetual protests They are afraid to go ahead and try to do nnythlng for fear they will innko mistakes The republican party Is not afraid to tackle new problems and to go into new fields. H Is the party of humanity , the party of prog ress , the party of enterprise and sound money , a friend to the worklngman am' every other class of citizen. ( Applnuaa. ) Let's sustain the hands of William McKln- loy. ( Loud applatiEC. ) The happiest mo ments I have had have been when sustaining every act of President McKlnley.
