affairs.
Introductory to his ireatti of national
topics Mr. Lltilellrld sounded tho praises
ot Congressman David H. Mercer and be
spoke his return to mngiess from tho Sec
ond NthniHl.ii district by n splendid ma
jority. "I Know nothlnn of the nhlllty ot

do know that no ninil, hr he possessed of

"The people over In Maine where I live
are Interested In Mr. Mercer's iduetlon.
Tho republicans must have u safe majurlly
lu tho next congress In order to continue
republican legislation for the protection of
American labor mid Industries, Iho con
tinuance of a sound financial avstom and
for n lengthened period of materlnl pros
perity.
'The prospects for republican success
at tho ncM election arc more than en
couraging, bill tit ill wo must not nuspend
our effort:!' toward tho rolling up of u great
majority, lu this town, which has grown
110 per cent lu Iho last ten years, I don't
suppose It Is necessary to say much about
this question of prosperity. Not one of
theso great corporations here could curry
on Its extensive operations unless the coun
try had a prosperity that furnishes a do
tunnd for Its products.
"Thoro are no Cnxey nrniles traveling
about Mm country under William MrKln
ley's administration. There are no candi
dates now for membership In such nn or
ganization, for nowadays if a man sees lit
to bo employed he oan find some kind of
remunerative labor ft he be honest ntul In

band of Idle men, who traveled acrobs tho
country foot-soro and weary nnd found In
tho nation's capital naught hut a firm In
vitation to keep off tho grass Is now in
Ohio advertising for 500 men to work lu
a manufactory of enst steel products.
Olio Utile llluitllltloii.
"It seems useless for mo In addressing a
body ot laboring men to talk ubout the ad
vantages of protection, but I want to cite
nna example of what protection has done
for Iho laboring men. Tho tin plate In
dustry, representing a capital of Jlli.OOO.OOO
was never In exlsteuco beforo tho signing
of tho MeKlnley bill. I was up In Muskr
gon, Mich., a short time ago nnd found
thcro a new tin pinto factory which had u
monthly pay roll of $27,000 and was being
enlarged so that tho pay roll will bo, after
completion of tho enlargement, $3i,000 a
month. Tho election ot Mr. Hryan and the
Inauguration of his policy against protec
tion would mean the shutting down of the
tin phito Industry, and tho men who now ro
celvo wago from this Industry In the sum
of $33,700,000 would be looking for employ
inetit elsewhere.
"I Insist that not one single prophecy
made by Mr. Hryan In 1S86 has como true
and l challongo any man lu stand up nnd
cltn ono example of truth following his
prophecy. If he missed the mark so widely
In 1896, slnco when all ot his gneisses nnd
prophecies havo been proven wrong, Is
any ono warranted in believing him now?
Congressman Lltilellrld passed from a dis
cussion of theso material mnttcrs to tlm
questions of Imperialism and militarism, an
suggested by tho opponents of tho repub
Mean party, llo discussed nt length tho
ovents leading up to tho war with Spain
and called particular attention to tho fact
that tho declaration ot war was made by
congress lu opposition to tho best Judg
ment of President MeKlnley, who had
hoped to bring about tho desired ends by
peaceful negotiations. "This war," ho de
clared, "waB demanded by democrats and
republicans alike. The honor, Integrity nnd
glory of tho republic wero nt btnko and In
that exigency there; wero no parly Hues. Re
publicans, democrats, populists, nyc, all

bellious times In tho rhlllpplno Islands had
been In progress for several yeara and had
their origin In tho objections raised by
Agiilnnldo and his fellow agitators to tho
civilizing nnd refining Influences brought to
tho archipelago by tho Catholics. "Agul

speaker. "llo has provided for a congress

Congressman Minefield of Maine reachrd
Nebraska yesterday to deliver three ad
dresses, beginning In South Omaha ihls
evrnlni;. It Is Mr. Mttloflold's first visit
to the wc-t. and accompanied by his wife
he spent the morning In a drive about tho
city, which he found much to his liking.
He has been hard nt work slnco the open
ing ot tt'o campaign nnd has already made
FUly-lhreo speeches In Michigan, Minne
sota, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Mr.
Minefield has frequently delivered nine ad
dres.ies a week mid expects, to keep up tin
pace until the end of the campaign. Ills
future program Includes three meetings in
Knnsns, flvo In Ohio and bevcrai m Penn
sylvania and New York.
Mr. Mttlctleld hns conic in contact per
sonally with thousands of voters during his
trip and Ins been able to form an nrcurato
Judgment of how the land lays In the states
he has traversed. "I'p north the crowds
time been tremendous and wero only lim
ited by the standing rapacity of the halls.
It wns too cold up there for opcn-alr meet
Ingi and wo wro obliged to get along as
well nil w- could with one or two halls, or
hs many us we eould get. The voters of
Mlrhiguii. Wisconsin nnd Minnesota will
come fully up to the highest things hoped
of them by the republicans.

"I have spent some tlmo In New York and
have no fears ns to the loyalty of tho Em
pire stair. Congressman Sherman, who
lias canvassed the state thoroughly, as
sured, me that we would not only win with
the usual margin or greater, but that we
would add a number of republican con
gressmen to tho list owing to local condi
tions." Mr. Llttlrfleld has particularly close to
his heart tho republican congressional can
didates nnd has spoken a good word for
them on every opportunity. I to points out
that McKlnley's election will bti largely
stripped of Its fruits If his hands nro tied
by a hostile house. During his stny In this
district Mr. Mttlefleld will do what ho can
In the furtherance of I). H. Mercer's cnndl-

It back to Its mother's side nnd finally, ex

cried, 'You little fool, you'll be sorry when

The moral reads as follows: "Hrmember
the hurd times of 1806. Don't b. a Bryan

ruslonlsts met In two city conventions
Inst night to uomluatc n ticket for the
Hoard ot IMucallon, but tho silver repub
licans wero not In evidence. The demo
crats met nt the democratic county hind
quarters and the populists at tho head
quarters of the fusion Peter Cooper dub,
nt llir l-'urimui street. A few disgruntled
men who tlalmed to bo republicans sought
to get Into limitation with tho fusionlsts
on tho pretense that they represented a
citizens' movement, but they wero un
ceremoniously turned down.
Tho democratic convention was com
posed of the delegates from the city wards
to the recent county convention, who had
recently, without consultation with the
rank nnd fllo of the party, becu designated
by the city committee to select candidates
for Hie city ticket. W. O. Gilbert was
mado temporary chairman and U. P. Uer
rymnu temporary secretary.
About twrnty-ilvo of tho ulnety-nlne
delegates wero present and three or four
had shown up on proxies. Tho latter were
luled out, howevrr, tho delegates present
wero authorized to cast the full strength
of tlm respertlvo wards and tlio tempo

Will Herdmun at once moved to proceed
to tho nomination of four candidates for
tho School board, three for the long term
a ml ono tor tho short. Nolhlug was tnld
nt tho time ns to how tho other seven
wero to bo nominated, but a number of
populists weic noticeable hanging around
the door.
Dr. J. J. Snvlllo gained recognition to
sny that there hnd been a meeting during
the afternoon In tho Interest ot a citi
zens' ticket, comprising men tired of what
ho termed tho machine that dominates
School board affairs. He declared that It
comprised u largo element ot repub
licanism nnd had decided to recommend a
number of names to tho democratic con
vention as those ot men whom they could
support If tho democrats nnd populists
would only nominate them. Hu presented
a list comprising Thomas S. Ilnyd, tl. W.
Oarmond, Robert H. Howell, John A. Kudu,
M. l'linkhouRor, K. I. Morrow and Mil
ton S. Ilouma.
The report of tho committee embodying
this list showed that Dr. Savlllo, George
11. Stryker, Milton S. Ilouma, Sam Me
I.cod and n Mr. Cunnolly had been au
thorized to present It to tho tuslonUts.
Sam Mcl.eod grew pntheclc In urging
fnvornblo action upon the report. Ho said
that Messrs. Hoyd and Kunkhpuser were
democrnts, Mr. Morrow a populist nnd nil
tho rest republicans antl-Kosewnter ro
puLllcans. He had had a good deal of ex
perience with tho School board, for whllo
lie had not been n member, ns a dis
charged employe he had been very much
abused bv tho board two years ngo. Ho
expressed this utmost Indignation because
the board had spent, ho said, $1,000 of tho
people's money recently prosecuting some
of the weak men In Its membership, who
had been led by detectives Into question
able transact Ions Involving but a few dol
lars. Ho was quite suro that nil kinds
of crookedness are going on Involving thou
sands ot dollars and thousands of repub
licans want to vindicate the Hcsslnns nnd
would vote for the ticket suggested by tho
committee. Ho did not neglect to say
that they wero nnti-Hosewater repub
licans. DemnerntM Decline to lllle.
It didn't take tho democrats long to see
through McDeod nnd his project. llo would
pobstbly hnvo fared better had he not reforred
to tho bourd's alleged abuso of himself. As
It wns. Will Herdmau said that most ot the
.democrats had some recollections of having
gotten against tho citizens HcKet move
ment before. If any of tho republicans felt
aggrieved at the present course or school
board affairs they could And a remedy by
voting tho democratic ticket. Ho renewed
his motion, which can led almost unani
mously.
