v "One of the claims put forward by hU
organ In behalf of V. S. I'oppleton," ay
nil observant citizen, "Is that be will, It
elected, give Omaha clean skirts In place of
dirty Hkirts." 1'rouilKes are easily made,
anil one can only judge of a man's disposi
tion In any direction by his act. On the
northeast corner of Eleventh und Howard
streets Is a two-story building extending
from Howard street northward to tho alley.
Thero alp six store rooms on the ground
lloorn, while tho rooms above are occupied
by tenants for living purpose". Along tho
rear of thcao htorea is u private alley, and
pcoplu living In that vlrlnlty are convinced
that, whatever may bo Mr. I'oppleton's
licuchant as a candidate In behalf of cleanli
ness, ho has never exemplified It as a land
lord. For years they have complained that
thlfl wan tho filthiest nlley in tho city. It
has been tho dumping ground, not only for
tho rttfuso from tho commission stores In
the row, but for tho kitchen refuse from the
apartments above, in summer this alley hag
been especially, naUseou, and Jtmt now a
trip through It Is not at all refreshing or
suggestive of tho nptltudo of tho owner of
the property to bo at all overo In conserv
ing tho cleanliness of tho city. The nlley Is
paved with an Interesting conglomeration
of frozen coffee grounds, pumpkin rinds and
kitchen olops, with hero and there n monster
dead rat. old window screens, offal and
countless other articled that have long
passed the rftage of usefulness or attractive
ness. It presentH a decidedly filthy appear
ance, ntnl It would requlro but nn hour of
sunshine to send Its aroma abroad through
out the neighborhood. Complaint to Mr.
Topplotoii uh landlord havo fallen on
deaf ears. The police and health
authorities havo tlmo and again called
his attention to tho nuisance, but to no
avail. If Mr. Popplcton'H private alley Is n
namplo of his klud of street cleaning, we
will want none of it."
"Whllo correcting misapprehensions aris
ing from tho Incomplete primary figures,' you
might glvo tho rovlsed figures of my
nomination." aald William II. Whltchorn,
tho republican candidate for the council for
tho Fourth ward. "At those primaries I re
ceived 2G votew, whllo my nearest, competi
tor, Mr. Kennard, received 173 votes, making
my plurality 93."
The fuslonlsts are runnlng'n plumber for
city clerk, a bricklayer for city comptroller,
ti clerk for city treasurer, nn insurance so
licitor for tnx commissioner nnd n bank di
rector for mayor. How is that for a combination?
"In his Imitation of a balky horse Mr,
Ilurkley taken thu bun," said a democrat at
one of the headquarters of democratfl. "He
went Into the mayoralty race carrying henvy
oiMh In the pools. After Bcorlng countless
times, ho balked at tho fltflu at last and
Inst the race, llo was then entered ns a
big favorite in the counctlmnnlc free-for-all.
llo had grown so used to Jockeying that ho
llddled around tho string up to tho last
minute nnd then b.ilkcd completely. Finally
under whip and npur ho has gotten awny, I
nee, but he Is still bucking badly."

Tho city central commltteo of tho frco

Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at their
headquarters, 1.M5 Farnam street, at which
the candidates of that party for city olllccs
vero present. Tho free silver repub
licans are Hocking by themselves In tills
campaign to n certain extent because of the
friction between tho democrats and pOp
UllStS. When tho nominations were completed
after u week of bitter strife tho populists
told tho chairman of the free silver repub
lican commltteo that that party could havo
the use- of tho l'oter Cooper club with Its
committee rooms rent frco provided tho
committee would pay for the heat nnd
light. The offer was accepted with tlinnkn
nnd tho llrst commltteo meeting wan held
there. When the democrats learned that
the free silver republicans and popullHts
were sharing the same nest they were very
nu.ch displeased. A member of tho execu
live commltteo of tho County Democracy
vUlted the chairman of the free silver re
publicans anil said:
"See hero, you aro pretty decent fellows
nnd wo don't want you to go and nlllgn

TIiIh was a better ofter than tho pop

"What has W. S. I'oppleton ever dono
for Omaha that entitles him to an election
ns mayor," asked Isaac S. Hascall at the
meeting of the Second Ward Republican club
nt 1113 South Sixteenth street Wednesday
evening. "They say ho Ih worth $300,000
In bank stock, that he owns n great deal
of land, has bulphur sprlngu and exposition
tracts, etc. Did ho ever glvo anything for
tho public good? Tho pcoplo of north Oranha
wanted n park on tho beautiful bluff tract.
Did Mr. I'oppleton offer to glvo It to them?
No, he consented to rent It to them for two
years for exposition purposes nnd then 161
them secure It by right of eminent domain.
The people of Omaha want a lto for nn,
auditorium, and they want It In it central
portion of tho city. Did Mr. I'oppleton say
that ho owns n suitable site up there on
Capitol tivcnue, thnt ho would glvo them
the uo of It or put It In tho pool for tho
public good? Nobody has heard him eay
tiny hucIi thing. Nobody ha3 over known
tilm to do any of those generous deeds by
means of which men of wealth earn the grat
itude of their fellow-citizens. They say
ho was it baby In Omaha. Ah, but there
was something the matter with that baby.
Somehow or other ho never could bo induced
to smile. And now ho has grown up and
ho never did smllo until ho got the nom
ination for mayor, and after the election he
will never smile again. 1 knew Andrew
J. I'oppleton. He wa n good citizen, and
when ho died the city council adopted reso
lutions of condolenco nnd all that. t
want to warn you young fellows, don't you
try to get In on tho reputation of your
daddies "
Thero were nearly 100 sturdy Second ward
ers In the meeting who received tho speak
ing, which lasted for over two hours, with
oery cvldenco of interest and hearty ap
proval. Addresses wore beard from W. II.
Klbourn, Fred J. Sackctt, Myron I). Karr,
C. J. Andersen, D. T. Mount, Simon Trost

Unltt.
Mayor Moores made one of his brief and
stirring addresses which nppeal with pe
culiar force to tho laboring classes. W.
W. Dlngham iiFmircd his neighbors that ho
was Just as good a republican as ho was
beforo he was defeated for tho nomination
for mayor. Ho urged united support of tho
ticket, naming especially tho councllmon In
tho rcupectlvo wards, whoso soparnto qualifi
cations ho gave In detail. All tho speak
ers urged tho necessity of supporting tho
entire ticket. Charlea Unltt called atten
tion to tho lmportnnco of tho result of tho
coming election upon tho election of a
legislative ticket next fall and the conse
quent selection of two senators from this
state.
Tho principal address was by Mr. Has
call. who gavo In mlnuto detail tho pro
ceedings of tho council In letting tho water
works contract and favored proceeding by
the plan laid down In tho original contract
lor acquiring tho works, rather than by tho
right of eminent domain, which Involved tho
ccrtnlnty of delay because It will certainly
bo carried to tho highest court by tho water
company, whllo tho $3,000,000 Intended for
their purchase will bo lying In tho custody
of tho county court all that time.
At tho closo of tho meeting President
Andrew Klowlt of the club announced that

of tin- I'llltllflll.
W. S. roppletou, dcmocrntlo candldato for
mayor, took particular pains to tell n meet
Ing of First ward democrats, held at Forest
hall. Wednesday night, that ho was not a
"silk stocking candldato" for tho mayoralty.
"Why, gentlemen." ho said, assuming n de
fiant. Jerry Slmpbon attitude, "I never wore
it silk stocking In my life."
Mr. I'oppleton arrived at tho First ward
meeting nt a Into hour, having hnd his time
occupied during the early part of tho even
ing with other political engagements. As
soon nH ho entered tho hall ho was greeted
by a noisy demonstration, and Councilman
I.obeek, who had only fairly launched him
self Into a self-laudatory speech of his acts
In tho city council, was unablo to proceed
because of the confusion and tho calls Issu
ing from nil parts of tho room for "I'opple
ton." Mr. I'oppleton occupied his tlmo In
a discussion of tho wnterwoin question,
rrpentlng In emphatlo terms his provleus
declarations that tho city can and should
own Its waterworks system.
Tho llrst speaker of tho evening was
tlllbert M. Hitchcock, who dovoted most of
his tlmo In relating to the First ward demo
crat a biblical fablo In which Ksau was
the principal Vhnracter. K. F. Morearty
next took the plntform, in respouso to
numerous calls of his name. Ho stated that
he would not go back to tho time of Ksau
In order to find material for his speech.
"There ore living questions before us now
for consideration." ho thundered, 'without
wasting tlmo delving Into scriptural mys
teries. Wo car nothing about Ksau, what
mo want Is tho election of tho fusion city
ticket and municipal ownership of the water
works!" During his speech Mr. Morearty Indulged
In a tirade ngalnst Isaac S. Hascall, repub
lican candldato from tho First word, for
tho city council. Ho was Interrupted by
ono of tho nun In the crowd who had a seat
well to the front, saying:
"Well, that's all right, he mailo a good
councilman."
"Yes. that's true." replied tho speaker,
"but he's outlived tho dnys of his useful
ness now."
Continuing, Mr. Morearty stated: "I havo
nothing to soy In criticism of Frank B.
Moores' official conduct ns mayor. He his
m a do a good official and ho Is now making
nn excellent hustle for a ro-electlon. If
wo don't watch out wo will surely be de
feated." Among tho other candidates who spoke
were 15. P. Rutherford. Krnest Mertetu,
John C. Droxel, Ab Wagner, Conrad Hug,
Thomas J. Flynn, William Fleming and
Thomas Harrington.
SENATOR THURSTON AT HOME
h Much InteresUd in the Political Situation
in Omiha.
HOPES REPUBLICANS WILL GET TOGETHER
In .Vntlonal I'olltlen lie Predict the
Nomlnnf ton of JlcKlnler nnd
Ilrynn, nnd the Klectlon
of the Former.
Senator Thurston nnd wife arrived In
Omaha last evening and will remnln until
Friday evening, when they will go to Wash
ington. In Lincoln they wero tendered a
dinner by Mrs. Atglo F. Newman, who ac
companied them to Omaha.
"I want to say llrst," said tho senator,
when questioned upon tho political outlook,
"that I am very much Interested In the sit
uation hero at home. In view of tho Im
portance of tho local campaign to the suc
cess of tho ticket In tho state next fall I
hope tho republicans will be good enough
republicans to lay aside all personal differ
ences and considerations nnd got together
In support of tho local republican ticket.
From what I hear they arc doing that With
two senators to elect next fall, and with the
electoral voto of tho stato at stake, it Is of
great Importance to republicans that nil of
tho members of tho party In this city do
their duty this spring.
"An to national affairs, there Is no doubt
that Mr. McKlnley will bo renominated by
acclamation. I am Inclined to think that
dir. Ilrynn will bo nominated again In tho
same way. Thero will no doubt bo a great
many delegates In tho next democratic na
tional convention who would be opposed to
Ilryati If they thought they could muster
strength to defeat his nomination, but they
seem to be getting little encouragement.
"Tho republicans seem to bo very unset
tled about tho vice presidency. Mr. Roose
velt appears to bo tho most acceptable man,
but ho says that ho Is not a candidate. Still,
it seems not Improbablo thnt he will bo
the nominee, and I do not see how ho can
rcfuso to nccept If the nomination is ten
dered him.
"Republicans apparently are well satisfied
over getting their financial bill through nil
right, nnd I don't look to see much general
legislation nt tho hands of tho present con
gress, which will probably adjourn some
tlmo In June, tit will probably pass a bill
for tho government of Hawaii, l'orto Rico
and Alaska, providing for territorial gov
ernments. It wilt probably nlso pass Sen
ator Spooncr's bill, which comprises but one
short section, giving tho .president nbso
luto power to organize nnd carry on a gov
ernment of tho Philippine Islands until
congress shall provide further legislation
on thnt subject. Almost nil thoughtful
men feel thnt wo ought not to bo In a
hurry to determine, upon our final policy
as to tho 1'hlllpplncs. It Is believed we
sliould maintain law and order und show
thcBo ipooplo tho benefits of a government
ot law and order, until wo have thoroughly
studied the I'hlllppluo situation from
every standpoint, bcllovlng that any future
congress will be Just as patriotic and ns
wise, if not wlsor, than wo are. Outside
of theso measures I don't think much gen
eral legislation will bo passed by tho pres
ent congress, oxcept, of course, appropria
tion bills.
"With Dryan and McKlnley certain to bo
tho candidates In the coming national elec
tion, republicans seo no reason to doubt that
results will bo tho same as In 1S96."
