IlennlillL'un Knltli During the
I'rourcm of the Meeting *
fe
The republican rally at Mueller's hall last
night wag oao of the most cnthuslaitlc of
the campaign. The largo ball was crowded
to Its utmost capacity and all of the voters
paid the closest attention to the remarks of
the speakers , cheering them loudly and fre
quently. President Halter of the Douglas
County German Hepubllcan club called the
meeting to order and after outlining the Is
sues of the campaign Introduced K. Hose-
water.
Mr. Hosewater said his first political
battle In Omaha was thirty ycara ago this
fall In the Second ward during the campaign
In which Orant and Colfax wcro the repub
lican candidates , Some prominent democrats
concluded they would not have the joint
debate and Induced the auditors to attend at
another hall , where beer was given out.
John Green , who operated a stone quarry ,
managed the affair. The next night Mr.
llosawater said ho and others had a bonfire
In the ward and made come speeches. The
next day , election day , notwithstanding
Green's efforts , the ward cast a solid re
publican vote.
Taking up the Issues of the campaign Mr.
Roscwatcr said that last fall thcro were a
lot of dancing dervishes upon the street
howling for free silver. It has been estab-
Untied that the price of silver has no more
to do with the prices of other commodities
than other commodities have to do with the
raluo of silver. It Is regulated by the laws
of supply and demand. As an Illustration
ho showed that gold made Into a chain
might sell for a certain price , but that did
not 11 x Its worth , which Is what It Is worth
and will bring In tbo market.
StnKintloii mid Circulation.
The difference between money that Is
stagnant and that which Is In circulation Is
very great. Now thcro Is a movement of
proi pcrlty , not because such a largo amount
of money has been coined , but because con
fidence has been restored under the adminis
tration of William McKlnley.
The complaints of the Inconveniences of
the late war nro trivial and are expected
by men when they go to war. This "con.
nplracy" of the War department would not
have been heard If a campaign wcro not
on , and the greatest complaint comes from
the men who stayed at homo and not from
the boys who wore In the field.
Sham reform ought to bo rpbuked. When
Governor Holcomb was elected and took his
coat , the tipcaker raid , ho told him that
there was a shortage In the treasury. Instead -
stead of making Dartloy show up , Holcomb
accepted a cigar box full of slips of paper ,
thus causing tbo state to loose between
HOO.OOO and $400,000. Of the present atatft
treasurers bond of $1,200,000 , the sum ot
$760,000 la elgned by the same men who
were on Hartley's bond , and three out ot
six of them are execution proof. Dartloy
was convicted , but It was by a republican
court and a republican prosecutor.
SnntiilcH of the Hi-form Work.
The reformers have gone upon the prin
ciple that the Idea Is to save money but not
to protect the people. The barrels used IN
the South Omaha packing houses arc made
In tbo penitentiary , or a largo portion ot
them. If they had been made hero env
ployment could have been furnished for a
great many men. During the bard times
mortgages wore foreclosed on thousands ot
homes and since then the purchasers , to
make their titles good , have had to pay In
the taxes , which brought a largo amount
of money Into the state treasury. These
popocrats arc not entitled to uny credit for
Uila. The state officers have Just as many
railroad passes as they want and they got
all that they can. When Holcomb became
governor be rented a house In Lincoln nna
the state pays the bill , $60 per month. This
Is the spirit of reform , which Is In violation
of the constitution , which provides that the
Bovernor shall have J2.COO and no perquisites.
Touching upon other matters Mr. Rosewater -
water saW that this district has a congress
man who has done more for his people than
any other who has represented the state. It

In foolish to send Dave Mercer's opponent I
to Washington nnd let him experiment for
two years at the expense of the peoplo. It
wan shown that there It much morn for
Mercer to accomplish for the city nnd
county. There Is a possibility and a prob
ability of nn exposition next year and if
thcro ls ono It must have government al < l ,
something that a now man will have much
difficulty In securing.
( Jooil Krnlt Alrrndy fonnil.
George Anthres brought down the house' '
by announcing that there were eighteen
former democrats present who desired to
enroll themselves with the Douglas County .
German Republican club. Mr. Anthres said :
"Mr. President : The first essential to
run a successful campaign is to have the |
active support of the rank and file of the j
party. There Is another , however , and that' '
ono Is to enlist as many of the opposite
sides as have become dlsiatlnfled with the
policy of their party for one cause or an
other and who see In the changcd/condi
tion of things prevailing everywhere a good
reason for casting their lot with the repub
lican party. H gives mo supreme pleasure ,
therefore , Mr. President , to bo able to an
nounce hero tonight that eighteen former
good democrats ( whose names I have on this
list ) have taken this view of the situation
and who are hero tonight asking us to ad
mit them to membership In the German
Republican club. In order to show to them ,
Mr. President , that wo realize the Import
ance of their action I move you that we sus
pend the regular order of tha program long
enough to enable them to sign the roll. "
Tha motion was carried unanimously , and
as the men walked up to the desk of the
secretary and signed their names to the club i
rolls they were greeted with cheers from I
every part of the house. The meeting took |
on many of the characteristics of an old-
faBhloncd love feast and the good work kept
going on until twenty democrats had en
rolled themselves and pledged their support
to the republican ticket next Tuesday.
After the converts had been greeted , on
motion of J. A. Beverly It was voted that
the right hand of republican fellowship bo
extended to the men who had been gathered
nto the fold.
When Congressman Mercer was Introduced
ho sold It made him feel na though be was
at a camp mooting. The republicans , he
said , believe In an honest dollar , ono that
vlll travel around and Is worth 100 cents
vhercovcr It stops. Another .thing . that the
republican party believes In Is the protec-
lon of American labor. Congressman Mer
cer then told of his experience In Japan ,
vhere $1 of American money would buy $2
of the coin of the country , notwithstanding
ho fact .that the Japanese coin contained
mord silver than that of the United States.
Ho compared prices and conditions In Japan
and China with those In the United States ,
showing that times are more prosperous
lore than in those countries where silver
is the coin. Ho showed that these conditions
made a demand for protection of American
industries.
Ilonnln tlic Yellow Jonriinln.
Handling the yellow Journals , Congress
man Mercer said they found fault with the
administration because It did not declare
war and then found fault because war was
declared. The course of President McKln
ley , who went Into the rebellion without
waiting for a colonel's commission , wan the
admiration of the civilized world , yet these
> apers have belittled him In his great
work of putting down a war and winning
a series of victories In four months such
us have never been fought before
The McCIeary bill about which the popu-
Ists have talked so much , is , Mr. Mercer
said , simply a compromise on a dozen bills
and If ever called up for passage would
not receive twenty votes. The yellow
ournals nnd those who are supporting them
only talk of thU bill to throw mud at the
administration.
"I stand upon one platform , " Bald Mr.
fiercer , "and It Is for protection of Amer-
can labor and Industries and sound money ;
ny opponent , when ho started out , stood
upon three platforms , but now ho has
thrown them all over the fence and he
stands upon ono which ho has made him
self. "
At the close of Congressman Mercer's
address , the band played "America , " the
nudlenco standing while the strains of muslo
floated through the room. The selection
was cheered , after which Judge Hayward ,
the republican nominee for governor , was
ntroduced and made a stirring speech , which
was frequently applauded. He showed that |
President McKlnlcy's administration hai
been ono of the best In the history of
the country. From Omaha to the west lln
of the state , prosperity Is everywhere vlilble.
In every county In the etato the mortgage
Indebtedness has been reduced. No moro
do the pcoplo of the United States talk ot
free silver and cheap dollars. It Is only
when people are hard up that they talk
of cheap money. The populists admit that
there Is prosperity , but contend that It Is
by reason of an act of Providence. The
republicans are willing to accept this , fOr
they know that providence is always with
them.
Following Judge Hayward , speeches "wer
delivered by the candidates on the legis \
lative ticket , all of them declaring that after
making a thorough canvass of the county
they feel certain that the republicans will
win at the polls next Tuesday ,
iiAYW.vnn AT citnicirroN ITALIC
Itcpiilillpiin Cniullilatc for Governor
Knockn the Poiiorrntn Hard.
Judge M. L. Hayward , the republican can
didate for governor , gave It to the popo-
crats again nt Crolghton hall last night.
In the language ot the ancient chronicler
ho "smote them hip and thigh until not a
man remained of all their noisy host. " In
other words , he hit them hard , getting In ,
some fearful upper-cuts.
Thcro was a good crowd gathered , and
every man cheered with a triumphant yell
at the rapid points of the old soldier. Ralph
W. Breckenrldge presided over the meeting.
Judge Hayward had only a few minutes to >
devote to It , as ho was to speak also In the
Second ward. Ono of his moat telling hits
was when ho openly charged the fuslonlsts
with levying an assessment upon the em
ployes of the Institute for the Blind at Ne
braska City to help them out with their
campaign expenses. He enumerated several
other state Institutions which the popocrata
had turned to ulmllar account In their des
peration.
"They talk about what they have saved
to the state since they came Into power
by an accident of circumstances , " said he- ,
"but at this end of the campaign they are
beginning to figure It out how they can
save themselves from a defeat on the 8th
day of thU month , which they feel Inevit
able. Why , they have even gone so far
as to levy assessments upon the employe *
of the state Institutions. We have It on
the best of authority , one of themselves ,
that they have taxed every person on tbt >
pay roll of Institute for the Blind at Ne >
braska City under a threat of discharge If
these subordinates do not como up with the.
money at once such nro the desperate
straits to which they have been driven lr >
( heir endeavor to perpetuate themselves In
power and to keep capital away from Ne
braska. "
Prosperity IN Itpnl.
Naturally , he turned onto the prosperity
the nation has enjojed under Mr. McKlnley
and the general restoration of confidence , ob
serving :
Our friends , the enemy , would have us oil
Relieve this prosperity now being enjoyed
on every baud has been due to their control
i stain affairs and eo they come out with
a big array of figures ou reduction of the
state debt bavlngs in the running of stute
Institutions. Increase of tchu l opportior-
mcnts , I need not agalu go over these boasts
which they bavs worked to death , for thHr
hollow-ness has been made plain to every
man ; but I "Imply desire to call your atten
tion to the Increase of batik clcarancee In
this city , the hum of Industry everywhere
heard , the decrease of mortgages and In
crease , ot cancellations , the Increased In
vestment ot capital , the fact that every
man who wants work Is omoloyed at good
living wages ; and to remark that this Is
not peculiar to Nebraska , but that It Is
the condition of the entire country and has
been the condition under the wise and
statesmanlike administration ot Mr. Mc
Klnley. If capital has come Into Nebraska
It Is because the people of the east have
full confidence. In the national government
and Investors have good reason to hope
that Nebraska will swing around Into the
republican column this November.
Lot them talk free silver und howl about

Blander Mr. McKlnley , Alger and Melklc-
john ; tbo people know what has changed
conditions In the whole country and the
lies of the popocrats will cot have any effect
In this campaign.
The Imperative necessity of returning Mr.
Mercer to congress and sending a legislative
delegation to Lincoln to elect a republican
Unlte.l Statoa senator was emphasized by
Judge Hayward.
C. J. Greene was the other speaker of the
evening and devoted himself mainly to a
consideration of national Issues. Ho pointed
out how by experience the fallacy of the
democratic contention that th volume of
money in this country Is restricted has been
exposed how from 1880 to 1802 there was
more money existent in the United State ?
than ever before In any country In the
world's history ; how between 1892 and 1S9G
It seemed to suddenly disappear and could
not bo borrowed simply because of the lack
of confidence created by the fr o silver de
mentia , and how as soon as the republican
party was In power again , with President
McKlnley In the executive's chair , confidence
returned and money again became free. He
said that two years ago even the most ar
dent republican would never have dreamed
that McKlnley would have made so great a
change in the condition of the country ,
while at the same time Do so successfully
engineered a great war. The speaker then
showed how the popocrats , having been de
prlved ot their ordinary ammunition by the
prosperous condition of the country , found
this war furnished an opportunity to assail
the administration. First , they abused the
president for not commencing the war with
out consideration , then they wcro dissatis
fied after It was commenced and brought tea
a glorious close , and again vllllflcd the presi
dent. Now they have seized upon another
pretext for attack by disapproving of the
peace commission , because It declared Itself
in favor of expansion. Mr. Greene declared
that this element might Just as well go back
on the soldiers who brought the war to so
glorious a conclusion on land and sea as to
go back on the peace commissioners now In
Paris , who are striving to duplicate the
deeds of the army and navy In a diplomatic
way. The remainder of the speach was de
voted to an argument In f.ivor of the ex
pansion Idea , the speaker declaring that In
vlaw of the aggressions of Russia in China
it would bo needful to secure a counteracting
foothold In the neighborhood of the eastern
marts to preserve American trade there.
The speaker Insisted that the policy of ex
pansion Is not at all contrary to the prin
ciples of the United States government , In
asmuch as this country has grown and de
veloped from the thirteen original colonies
directly through this means.

polnttnent to Lender * .
Yesterday's registration waa considerably
heavier thau on either ot the other days ,
but It Is yet a slight disappointment to the
campalgu managers , because the total lacks
a good deal of equalling that of two yxws
ago. It furthermore Indicates that there Is
not so largo an Increase In the voting popu
lation In Omaha nn had been predicted , un
less there yet remains nn enormous unregis
tered vote. Only the Second , Sixth and
Eighth wards show an Increase of 100 over
the registration of th ? second day. The
total registration yesterday was 9,703. The
total for the three days Is 10,698 , agaln.it
a total of 19,903 two years ago. The regis
tration on the first day this year was 4,910
and on the second day 5,472. The figures on
yesterday's registration are uot entirely ofll-
clal , but nearly eo , and will be changed but
llttlo by the ofllclal returns , so that the re
sult la practically correct. The following Is

SIOUX CITY , Nov. 8. ( Special Tele

enth congressional district of Iowa is rapIdly -
Idly drawing to a close and the reports are
of a very encouraging nature to the repub
licans. There nppcarn to bo tmmll chance
of A. S. Qarrctson , the fusion nominee ,
being elected congressman , and republicans
estimate the majority of Lot Thomas , the
republican candidate , will bo fully 4,000.
It has developed Into a very bitter conflict
and growing even more so as election day
approaches. The Garretson campaign Is a
sort of sympathetic ono. He was one of the
boomers of Sioux City a few years ago and
lost everything In the crash. If he was for
sound money he would probably be elected ,
but bo Is an endorser of the Chicago plat
