The respective city committees nrc en
gaged In preparations for the party prl-
irarlcs , fortifying thomselvcs with llaU of
registered voters nnd getting 'their workIng -
Ing forces Into the Held. Each committee ,
secures from tlm registration books simply
a list of the voters registered militated with
.M political party. The republican com-
tnlttoolma its lists neatly all prepared , but
representatives nrc still at work. The
democratic : comcnlttco has men now nt work
compiling Its lists , nnd n representative of
the Patriotic league Is also engaged In mnk- '
Ing a copy of the lists of republican voters. '
The hostility in the democratic camp finds '
expression even In this work , for the lists | 1
nro bolng prepared by two men , one roprc- ,
ccntlng the Jacksonlan club and the other | '
the County Democracy. They work In bar- i
inony , rcprcsentatloif of both clubs being I
to sou that none of the partisans of cither I
club are forgotten. Joe Ilutler Is the County >
Democracy man and J. A. l-'ltzpatrlck Iho '
Jacksonlan. Whto they get a ward list' '
copied Kltzpatrlch takes the book homo nnd ,
makes a copy for the use of the Jacksonlan
club , the original copy goes to the city com- |
inlttcc , which Is Colonel Molse. The populists - I
lists have their short lists prepared , and the
silver republicans will make none.
The preparation of these lists la a de
cidedly perplexing work owing to the care
lessness of icglstrntlon supervisors and
i
many inaccuracies and discrepancies result I
ing therefrom. In many Instances It Is '
Impossible to tell Just what party affiliations
n man registered , as the books disagree.
In each registration precinct three books
nro kept , supposed to correspond , but they
do not by any moans. For Instance In one
proclnct of the Third ward It Is almost Im
possible to tell who registered as demo
crats , who UK independents and who as .re
publicans. In ono book the Jlrst name at
the top of a page Is marked as republican ,
the next a democrat , the next a republican
and the next two have not a scratch to Indl-
cute party afllllutlan. In another hook the
ilrst numo appears as that of a republican ,
the next an Independent and the next three.
names have the ditto mark following the
Independent. The names of the voters cor
respond exactly , burring poor spelling. In
some of the wards such inaccuracies are so
common as to seriously perplex those copyIng -
Ing the names of voters of their respective
parties. The inevitable- result Is that some
of the voters are copied Into more lists than
ono , which will enable the parties bearing
them to participate , If so disposed , in moro
primaries than one. .
Tbc republican city committee is the only
one which has adopted rulc for the govern
ment of KB party primaries. The democrats
will throw around their primaries no moro
restrictions than nro Imposed by the law ,
nnd even the lawful provision that none ex
cept these who registered as democrats can
participate in the primaries will not be too
rigidly enforced. It would bo Ignored en
tirely If thu law were * not mandatory In that
respect. It Is probable the populists will
Insist upon the observance of that provision
of the law to the letter , and permit none
mit populists to participate in the primaries.
An effort is being made by some of the
Jacksonlan leaders toward getting out the
full populist strength , nnd many of the pop
ulists are being enlisted to work upon thslr
democratic friends In the contest between
the Jacksonians and CountyDemocracy. . The
silver republicans made such a pitiable showIng -
Ing In the registration that they have con
cluded not to hold their primaries under the
law , but will cling to the old system of cau-
: usslng.
Ancnt the avowed determination of Wil
liam H. O'Shaughncssy to participate In the
democratic primaries , oven though ho did
not register as a democrat , and his deter
mination to invoke the aid of the courts to
enable him to do so , attention Is called to
the fact that when ho registered in the ! i
Third ward u note was inserted In the regls- j I
trillion book by P. L. Forgan , ono of the
supervisors , as follows : "Mr. O'S. having
requested that his pnrty afllllatlons bo left
blank , 'doubtful' IH erased. " In the same
ward the record shows that James Connell ,
silver republican , who was anxious lo bo a j
deputy sheriff under John Power , "Re-j
quested this note : Refused on account of
tinconstltutlonallty of law. "
The Ninth ward hns sprung two new can
didates during the last week. George W.
Cockrell for city clerk and J. A. Dcverly for
councilman. This makes four candidates
for the council Mercer , Trostler , Malm and
Boverly.
Thorn appears to bo no necessity of get
ting delegations before the party primaries
by selection by some recognized organiza
tion. Nobody is barred from springing a
iolegatlon' to be voted for at the primaries.
At a meeting of the Ninth Ward Republican
club last week It was proposed that the
club select a delegation at Its next meeting
to be voted for at the primaries , but the
chairman , II. ] ' . Stoddnrt , determinedly
ruled the proposition out of order , holding
that It was not the province of the club to
select delegations. It was Intimated that
the members from that -ward In the .city
committee would doubllcMt call a meeting or
caucus of their own friends to select the
delegation. Whllo the primary law lays
down rigid rules surrounding every other
step In the campaign , even to the announce
ment of Individual candidacies , It does not
point out any established method for the
selection of delegations prior to the pri
maries , which leaves It within the power of
any ono to make such selections , subject to
the will of the voters at the primaries.
Whllo this license to put up a delegation
for flirty suffrage may sometimes occasion a
lack of harmo.iy , It Is calculated to rendi'r It
moru dlfllcult for ward politicians to control
an election ,
The ftatcment thai some ono had. pro-
pos"cd to bet that ho will not bo on the
delegation from his own ward to the demo
cratic city convention has aroused the
sportive nature of Colonel Walter Molse.
The festive colonel Is nourishing all kinds
of money that his name will occupy the
same relative position as that of the storied
Abou Hen Adhcmi , which "led all the rest. "
It In understood that coin Is not going to
count with the colonel In this contest , which
Is to bo made regardless of expense.
Charley Fanning threatens to nio charges
against Will Hcrdmati before Judge Mun-
ger , claiming that ho Is using his office an
referee In bankruptcy to Influence voters In
the contest between the two club factious
of the democracy for control of the next
city convention. Tanning claims that the
referee has Intimated to claimants against
the exposition that unless they conducted
themselves In a specified way politically
they could not expect any favors from him.
U Is noticed that Ilcfcroe llcrdman has , a
placard hanging In his oillce forbidding the
mention of politic during working hours ,
but Fanning Bays that this sign has gone tip
slnco ho mad the riot act to the referee
himself. This episode simply Illustrates the
intensity of the light within theracks , of
the democracy.

MOORES STATES HIS POSITION

HAS ENDEAVORED TO SERVE CITY WEIL
I'olnlH tit Illn Oinclnl Actn n * Worthy
f Cniiuncndiitlnn nml it Ite-
Mftrcl lit ( In1'orin of n
Second Term ,
Mayor Moores yesterday gave out the fol
lowing statement of the grounds upon which
ho rests his claims for re-election :
"I would say that I trust my record as
mayor during the last thrco years will
commend mo to the citizens of Omaha.
"There never was a period In the history
of Omaha when the duties devolving upon
the mayor were fee heavy or so varied In
tl-clr character as they were during my ,
term of omco Just closing. The Transmls- '
slsslppl Exposition required a vast amount I
o. ' extra work during 189S and the Orcater '
America Exposition Increased my duties dur
ing 1800. I have been called upon to for
mally welcome more than ICtT conventions ,
congresses , associations nnd clubs , and It
has bcon my duly as well as my privilege
to extend courtesies to many hundred dis
tinguished visitors , frequently at no pmnll .
expense to myself. |
"While I can see many matters which
might have been Improved upon had I been
given more time for preparation , yet I did
the best I could under the circumstances.
I believe I did my full share In favorably
Impressing our visitors with the advan
tages of Omaha and that I contributed In
a measure to the enjoyment of their visit
to our city.
"I believe that 1 have given more time 1
and attention to the performance of the
duties of the mayor's oillce than any other
major the city has had.
"iMost of my predecessors have had largo
private business Interests , which have de
manded much of their time , and they have
been able to spend only an hour or two
a day at the city hall. I have given my
entire-time to the performance of my ofil-
clal duties , have had regular office hours
and have always been equally accessible
to rich and poor , high and low , who
sought my atalstanco or relief , and the
case of each has received my prompt at
tention. During my term 1 have made spe
cial effort 'to secure employment for those
who sought my aid and have succeeedcid In
several hundred Instances. I believe that
the people of Omaha will boar me out In
i the etaUment that I have been as much
the maycr for the poor as for the rich. I
"In the course 6f my term of omce I have
I been compelled frequently to veto measures ' '
I which were being zealously urged by dlffer-
I ent citizens , but f have done BO from no
I other consideration than that of the public
good nnd I believe every such njtlon met thi ,
' approval of those who Investigated the | I
merits of the case.
"I have not been controlled or actuated I
by any other motives than the public good. '
i -corporation or Individual has either
j owned or unduly influenced -me. At the
same time I have been disposed to treat all
' corporations fairly. ' In no manner , directly
or indirectly , have I ever asked , received or ,
|
desired any favor or reward for any official | i
j action from any corporation or Individual. {
| "I have stood fearlessly and faithfully for ,
j the Interests of Omaha and for the good of | ' '
! the public. In the face of strong opposition
'
I favored and signed the viaduct contract
with the railroad companies , as the result of
which our city will soon have a magnificent
viaduct on Sixteenth street and another sim
ilar viaduct will soon bo constructed on
Twenty-fourth street and nec'e'ssary viaducts
and subways will bo constructed at other
places In the city. My action In this behalf
was no't to do Injury to any property owner ,
but to build up our city and keep necessary
public Improvement under full headway.
"With regard to municipal ownership I
wish to say I am now and have always
been In favor of the municipal ownership of
public utilities. I am In favor of municipal
ownership of the waterworks system and 1
plcdgo myself to do everything In my power
to bring about their acquisition by the city
at as early a date as the same can possibly
bo done. '
I "H hns been an almost invariable rule
that whdre a public official ftas performed 1
the duties of his position faithfully for one
term he be given a renomlnation by his
i party. If the voters of Omaha believe that
I have credibly represented thorn as mayor
during the last three years and desire to
have a straightforward business ndmlnlstra-
tlou during the coming term I think they
will consider' that my record entitles me tea
and that they
a rcnominatlon nnd re-election
will express that feeling at the primaries on
February loth and at the polls on the 6th of
March.

The popocratlc majority of the H ard of
County Commissioners , which has recently j
evinced a disposition to feather the nests
of ! la political friends ut the expense of thu
public , attempted another raid on the treas
ury yesterday when a bill of $100 for
legal services rendered by Frank T. Han- j
som wau given consideration.
The service for which Attorney Itnusor- '
asks pay was rendered against the county
rather than in favor of It. Iinnaom was at- j
torney for Ed J. Dee In his mandamus null j
against County Clerk Hnverly , which was
triad in the district court several monttiH
ago. The commissioners undertook to dic
tate to Clerk Haverly whom he should em
ploy In his offlce. despite the fact that Mr.
Haverly holds nn elective odlce and Is pre
sumed to exercise his prerogative in the ap
pointment of an office force so long as ho
does not exceed the number of employes al
lowed by the board. The commissioners ap
pointed Dee to the place of bookkeeper In
the county'clerk's office. Mr. Hnverly did
not want him. Dee appeared for duty , but
there was nothing for him to do.
Dee Ilnally Instituted mandamus proceed
ings to compel Mr. Haverly to glvo him em
ployment. He retained Frank Ransom as
his attorney. Mr. Haverly hired a lawyer
and paid the fee out of his private funds.
It cost him $177 , but he beat the case. Thus
thrown out , the commissioners took care of
Dee by appointing him engineer at the court
house.
Hansom wanted his money. Dee was not
prepared to pay It. Then it was decided
that the county should be given an oppor
tunity to discharge Dee's obllgatlcii to Ran
som. The bill was presented today and was
referred to the finance Committto without
discussion. No ono about the court house
doubts the wlllngness of the popocratlc ma
jority to have the county pay the bill , but
the republican members of the board are
expected to make such vigorous prote.it that
the popocrnts may not dare to press the
claim. Attorney Ransom spent the greater
part of the forenoon at the court house. It
is said that ho submitted his bill to Com
missioner Hector about thico weeks ago
and that ho became somewhat anxious be
cause of the commissioner's delay In present
ing It.
MyHtfrlatiN Delay Ilefore Mcctlngcx.
Of late there him been a disposition on the
part of the majority wing of the board to
delay the meeting hour. Ten o'clock Is the
time agreed upon for meotlngH , but as a rule
the gavel does not fall until 12 o'clock or
later. It was exactly 12:30 : p. m. yester
day when Chairman Hofoldt called the
meeting to order. The entire forenoon was
spent In conference between the popocratlc
members. What they talked about is one of
the mysteries.
Commissioner Oatrom Introduced n resolu
tion reciting that the supposed hour of meet
ing U 10 o'clock a. m. , but that them Is
always a delay of from ono to two hours.
The resolution culled attention to the fact
that persons having business with the board
are compelled to wu lo the greater part of
the day waiting for action , and In conclusion
It resolved that hereafter the meetings shall
begin promptly at 10 o'clock. The resolu
tion was adopted ,
A communication from tbo South Omnha
Commercial club requested the commission
ers to take action relative to the number of
assessors In that city. At present there are
four. The Commercial club cndoroes a prop-
o&ltlon to do away with three of the asseH-
sorH and glvo the work to ono man. A. H.
Murdock wants to he that one and his ap
plication for the appointment Is on llle. Com-
mlcslonor Hector suggested that the Com
mercial club bo accorded a hearing before
the hoard next Tuesday and that In the
meautlmo the matter bo referred to the
county attorney for an opinion as to wbother
the case at Issue comes under the jurisdic
tion of the county board. Chairman Hofeldt
pressed the belief that inasmuch as four
antcetiors have been elected the county
board has no power to Interfere. Commis
sioner Ostrom concurred In that belief. "If
the election of these assessors IH not legal , "
paid Mr , Ostrom , "tbo matter should be ad
justed In the district court and not here , for
this body has no authority to bundle law
rases. "
Charles Larson flled application for the
position of engineer at the court house and
jail. It was referred to the committee hav
ing jurisdiction over such matters ,
