( ' . 15. Winter niado the principal address
of the evening , taking up some of the argu
ments tint Uryin has been advancing In his
Ifcto speeches. Ho pointed out especially
the different positions occupied In succes
sion by the Rlher statesman em the question
of priceAt first he had pioclalined them
too low for the fjood of the people nnd now
they are getting too high again. He also
went over the around upon which Mr. Uryan
had based his charge that the republican
party was the party of trusts and corpora-
tloim and showed conclusively that the trust
qucntlon , vns In no nay a party Issue
Mr Winter took up the letter published In
the local fusion organ from Ohio , asking for
voluntary contributions to the campaign
fund and compared It with the standing call
foi party funds which the. paper had In Its
I'uiunuiH JIID luuur , no sain , wus a com-
plelo refutation of the assertions so freely
inado that the republican party had only to
hold out n hand to receive plenty ot cam
paign money from the trusts. If that were
no there would hive been no need of a call
for funds In the president's own state.

Mntli Ward.
Several of the fusion candidates for county
nnd city offices m6t with about thirty voters
In the Ninth ward Wednesday night and
discharged the first gun of the campaign in
that part of the city. Short addresses were
made by Frank Urondwell , John Power ,
Tred Blsnsscr , Krall Youngfelt nnd P. H.
Myers The principal speeches of the even
ing were delivered by W. 0. Gilbert , Silas
Kobblnj > , a. colored man , nnd David VnnKltcn.
The republican party was denounced and the
meeting enthused to n considerable degree
when Mr. Gilbert asserted that "ono dead
Thomas Jefforbon-Is bettor than twcnty-flve
llvo McKlnlejs. " Mr. Gilbert touched the
national political issues but briefly , devoting
hlniEclf chiefly to nn exposition ot the neces
sity of wrestling from the republican control
of the city School Boird , and Incidental ! )
calling attention to his own candid : y for
that position. Mr. Hobblns found himself
handicapped beciuso of lack of tjUlHclent
tlmo , to cover the entire national political
field thoroughly , but gave his old-tlmo col
leagues the republicans several hard raps ,
asserting that the/ ought to be wiped off the
face of the earth , and nppljlng a few choice
epithets to the party In general , which
aroLHcd his auditors to a state of wild en
thusiasm. Ho called attention of the fuslon-
Ists to a certain patriot over In the Philip
pines by the name of Agulnuldo and advised
them to follow hlb example by fighting for
freedom , with free silver and everything
otao that Is free throw n-Jn on theside. . He
confided to his hearers the fact that a ma
jority ot the republicans , themselves , were
opposed to the war In the Philippines and
clinched this argument by stating that ho
had "heard them say so. " When It came
'Mr. ' VonCtton's tlmo to. speak he confined
himself to the silver question. If ho had
touched upon any of the other questions ot
the day the nicelng would probabl ) not have
adjourned until morning. Ho traced the
silver question from the tlmo of Abraham
on rio\\n thrnuch thn rrltlrnl Rtjitrna nf thn
early ' 70's when the great "crime" was
committed , to the present day , and endorsed

DumocMiitlc Central Committee.
The democratic county central committee
met Wednesday night at the rooms of the
Jefferson Inn club and transacted business
in connection with holding meeting * , and
rallies. The members from the different
wards and precincts , or ns many as were
present , reported halls In their district which
Lould ho secured for the purpose and thcso
lists wcru placed in tup hands of the ex
ecutive committee to bo used by It In mak
ing the arrangements ,
A much wanner meeting than actually
took place had been expected , na the Idea had
beet bruited around that a well-developed
opposition to the prchent executive com
mittee would become manifest. It was even
believed by some democrats that the com-
inlttco would bu ousted entirely and Its
successors chosen. The reason assigned
for this opposition was the suspicion that
the members of the committee had not been
as true to the democratic ring of the circus
as they might have been. Whether such
a movement Is on foot or not nothing of the
kind was revealed Wednesday night. The
attendance was not very full and the session
did not last long

cllno in passenger and freight rates. A
very favorable showing has been made by
the railroads operating In the west. These ,
as well as the eastern B > stems , show a de
cidedly prosperous year , which was neces
sary In order to bring about the largely In
creased earnings In the face oi vho reduc
tions In the revenue producing freight and
passenger rates A decided advance In the
scientific management of the great railroads
Is also demonstrated In the reduction of
operating expenses , which has helped swell
the earnings and yet has not Interfered with
continued Improvement In operation. Sev

cxanples have within the past jcar spent
thousands of dollars , for betterment cf equip

Through the courtesy of Manager Cole
the Trocadero audiences Wednesday at matInee -

policemen In citizens' clothes. The great
attraction of the play "Pirates of I'enzanco"
was , ot course , the policemen's chorus nnd
every tlmo tbo bluccoats came out they
were received with salvos of applause. To
add to the merriment and Interest , the
policemen of the chorus were given names
belonging to the local force and there was
many a red face in tbe audience called out
by the allusions to prominent stars on the
rcstcr. In the afternoon the following well

North Omaha Improvement club was
discussing park affairs with the com
missioners , the members of the board on
puvoral occasions commended very highly
the uctlon of the citizens Hvlne near JUver-
vluw iiark. When It wan desired to tncreaso
the ciro of that park the taxpayers In the
vicinity agreed to the ncrewsarv assess
ment The hint was not valuable to those
of us who were seeking tliei il > rovement
of rxlstlni ; parks wo felt that Miller park
and rontancllu were too big now for the
funds that were available. The buggestlon
is therefore handed over to the people of
Kountzo 1'laca and others living near the
Exposition grounds The park board has
nu funds to purchase new parks Prop ,
erty owners In the district cast of Tnenty-
fourtli and north of Grace uhoulil be will
ing to bo nsBcssod that the Bluff
tract might remain a public park. It would
i bo a grand monument to public generosity
I nnd would bo doing for the north part of
the city what the citizens near Hlvcrvlew
were glad to do Unless reports nro sreatly
exaggerated cutllclent money was left in
the district mentioned last year by exposi

Exposition was organised to help Omaha.

"Tho way In which the newspaper ender
or the fusion management Is trjlng to mix
up next spring's city campaign with the
present county and state election , " said a
promlncwt republican yesterday , "U a
huge joke. The particularly ridiculous part
of It Is the way they try to show that the
eprlnft campaign Is already on and that the
republlcann nro splitting up with dissen
sions over who the candidates for city ofllce
will be next year. The fact Is the repub
licans of Omaha and Douglas county ne\cr
h&d a net of candidates better qualified for
the positions to which they arc nominated
or In whoso support both leaders and rank
and fllo wcro so harmoniously united. Hc-
publlcana nro forming now clubs , to be sure ,
but the solo object of their organization In
the present campaign Is to work for ths
success of the republican ticket Up to the
time the polls close , November 7 , c\ery
republican club and the Individual memberh
will bo bending undivided energy In behalf
of republican candidates , and whatever
favorites they may have for party prefer
ment In the spring will hold hack
their ambitions until tlio fusion aggregation
la first routed In the Impending light.
"Of course it la political strategy for the
popocratlo managers to try to disorganize
the republicans , but no such jams as they
are manufacturing out of the whole cloth
will help them In their present predica
ment. "
The announced program for the first
fusion rally shows that the light In Douglas
county Is to bo made on what nro assorted
to be national Issues , carefully molding dis
cussing the qualifications of the nominees
for county and Judicial positions. Doubt
less tbero Is wisdom In such a cour&e , but
there Is also danger that the % otcrs will
ask themselves what questions of national
policy , many of which are net jet clearly
party Issues , hao to do with the conduct
of the offices In the county court house. Out
of the four popcoratle speakers advertised ,
according to the program , but ono Is gl\en
license to touch on local Issues. And that
will como first on the program , so that such
trifles as local affairs may bo quickly got
out of the way of more Important ones , the
euro or the maladies of civ Miration with
the well-tried and reliable populist speci
fics The fusion managers all admit that
they ha > o nothing to gain by comparing
the personnel of their ticket with their
opponents and that all they can do is to asV
their followers to swallow the conglomerate
dose for Brjan's sake.

Wednesday the Stock Yards compiny
commenced the work of filling In a tract of
land at Thirty-flfth and I streets , Just east
of the cooper factory. The dirt used In lev
eling up this tract is being taken from the
west end of the Armour grounds. As sooa
as the filling Is completed ( the erection of an
addition to the cooperage factory will be
commenced. This new building will be 150
feet In length and fifty feet In width. The
basement and first story will bo built of
brick , vvbllo itho second story will bo of gal
vanized Iron. A short tlmo ago the Omaha
Cooperage company purchased the plant of
the Lincoln Cooperage company nnd will
move the stock and machinery to this city
as soon ns ino new nuuuing is completed.
The new- structure will cost In the neighborhood
*
hood of $15,000 and will moro than double
itfio capacity of the plant. Commencing on
November 1 , this company will manufac
ture 1,500 bairels a day Instead of 500 a
day as at the present time. Sixty men are
now employed , but when the proposed
building Is complotcd the force will bo in
creased to 100 men. Manager Welch ex
pects to commence building In about ten
dajs and ho figures that It will not take
more than a month to finish the work. Moro
than likely the machinery In tlio entire
plant will bo operated by electrlcty before
long , as negotiations to that end are now-
pending with itho local electric light com
pany.
In connection with the erection of the
new building Manager Welch said ycstciday
that the city council would bo requested to
\acato Thirty-fifth street between II and I ,
Ttls street shows on the map , hut hns never
been opened for travel. Last September
when it was reported that a request for the
vacation of the street would be made the
South Omaha Land company filed a protest
against the granting of the request , alleging
that the closing of the street would dam
age the property belonging to Iho company.
This protest was referred to tlio street nnd
alley comrnlM.ee , but no notion has been
taken for the reason that no request has
been made for the vacating of the street.
It Is possible that when the city council re
alizes that the vacating ot the itreet will
benefit a growing Industry the remonstrance
of the land company may bo overruled ,
The capital stock of the cooperage com
pany Is to bo Increased from $50,000 to $100.-
000 prior to the enlarging of itho plant.

Mayor Enoor has announced that ho will
call a special meeting of the city council
for tonight to take action on his veto of
I
tbe contract awarded to ( ! corgo Dare for tbo
laying of four hundred feet of sewer on
Q street. Residents on Q street where this
sewer is to ho laid are anxious for the
work to proceed and unless there is a spe
cial meeting action on the veto will not
bo taken until the regular mooting In No
vember.
The mayor's veto reads as follows"At
tbo last meeting of your honorable body on
the 2d Inst. I find that you awarded a con
tract to George L. Dare for the laying of
a ecwer In district No. 107 , according to
plans , profiles and specification ! ) on fllo In
the ofHco of the city engineer. I also find
that you did not award tbo contract in ac
cordance to law and to the best Interests of
the taxpayers in the eald district. The es
timate as required by the city engineer calls
for the laying of 1,400 feet of ten-Inch
eewcr pipe and the building of four man
holes. The bid of Mr Dare was 98
cento per lineal foot for the laying of tbo
eewcr , amounting to $1,374. The specifi
cations alt > o call for tbe building of fortj-
flve feet ot manholes. Mr. Dare's bid of
$3 85 per foot amounts to $173 25. Total of
Mr , Dale's hid for cower and manholes ,
$1,545 $ 25. Tbo bid ot Jamco P. Connolly
on the 1,400 feet of sewer was S6 cents
per foot , amounting to $1,201. Mr. Connolly'a
bid for four manholes amounts to $220 , mak
ing a total of $1,424 , which is $121,25 less
than Mr. Dare's bid , I cannot account for
the action of tbe council In awarding tbe
contract to the highest bidder unices It vvaa
on oversight I therefore feel it my duty
to call your attention to the discrepancies ol
theto two bids and herewith return the
resolution awarding the contract to the highest -
est bidder , without my approval. "

Wednesday was a sort of aftermath of

town remained over from Tuesday In order
to more leisurely look over the exposition.
This , with the usual crowd on the ground ,
made quite a showing and in consequence
things went with snap and vigor. The

closest attention of the crowd and the pro
gram was doubled , the auditors remaining
In their scats after the last number , thus
pcylng the conductor a hlght compliment by
calling for another selection.
The other features vvcro not unusual , ex

Wednesday to sec the expos'tlon. After
viewing the sights at the White City ho
came down lown and proceeded to paint
things a peculiarly vivid carmine. Ho had
something like JH5 In his jeans and ho pro
ceeded to sro what the clt ) had in store fern

ment Ho wandered down Douglas street
and bumped up against the spieler for n
variety show There ho heard of the won
ders within and ventured He drank beer
and wine nnd many other concoctions ml-
dilated to make n man feel coed and had a
great time He left that place- and went
out to llnd moro worlds to conquer and
then the Iron was driven Into Ills soul , foi
he found that hla pockets had been rifled
, of all his wealth except a few paltry pen
nies Ha went straight to the police sta

City Attorney Conncll will combat the
mandamus proceedings brought In the dis
trict court by Attorney John 0 Yclser to
force City Clerk Hlgby to submit to the
\fliers the Initially and referendum prop-
oMtloii. Ho Is now preparing a statement
of facts which will he submitted to the
court within the next few Oa > s It Is ex
pected that the clt > attorney will throw an
entirely new light on the case.
"Mr. Yeiccr perpetrated a wrong upon
the city clerk nnd a fraud upon the court , '
sild Cltj Attorney Council In discussing
the mandamus. 'Mr. Iclser docs not state
facts , " ho continued , "and 1 taltc It for
granted that when the truth Is laid before
the court ho will have cnuso to change his
opinion.
"In the drat place the petition asking for
submission of the question Is not signed bj
fifteen per cent of the voters , as Is alleged
True , thcro Is a lot of signatures , hut mtny
of them will not hear close Inspection. Tor
Instance , Rome of the names < Io not lm\c a
street number attached. 'Omaha' is as dcf-
tnltu ns some of the petitioners are located
That Is not In accordance with the stipula
tions of the legislative act.
WnlU-il t'nlll Too I.nto.
"Another glaring Inconsistency to which
I shall call attention Is the fact that Mr.
Yelser waited until after the eleventh hour
to make his demonstration. The law envs
. uiij iiuuci' UL miimiissiuil mum in *
, jet Mr Yclser waited until the limit
of the twentninth da > before ho filed his
petition. That ghes rlso to u technicality
that of Itself Is enough to defeat the sub
mission proposition , I believe Why dldn the
ho como in earlier ? It Is not a new ques
tion , ho sajs , and it seems to me If he Is
sincere In his play for popular government
ho would haxo raised his issue prior to the
expiration of the thirty-da } limit.
"Tho petition upon which ho bases his
mandamus application Is not of recent or
igin. It wrm nindo up a jear 01 more ago
There are many other reasons that will bo
called to the attention of the court. I be
lieve , as a matter of fact , that the initiative
and referendum law Is defective , at least
the courts ha\o heretofore so held , but even
If not , the inconsistencies of Mr. Yolscr's
attitude are sufficient to knock out the pres
ent attempt.
\u DiuiKcr of Jail Sriitcnee.
"All this talk about Jail sentences for
contempt Is the veriest rot. I have no Inten
tion of disobeying any court order , and I nm
satisfied that the city clerk and other mem
bers'of the municipal government have sim
ilar Ideas. Wo do not want to ho in con
tempt and will not be. But we expect to
makn .1 In al Ktnml for hnt. Is rluhf. If
wo haven't the law on our side , then we
shall gracefully surrender. 1 could cite
numerous other features that go to show the
fallacy of Mr. Yclscr's position , all ot which
will bo brought out in the motion I am
going to file. " i" ViOfS ! )
Mr. Connell and his stenographer are now
engaged In preparing the answer to the
Yclser mandamus application. It will be a
rather lengthy document.
