"There has been some comment on my :
failure to appear before the republican club
meetings, and I want to explain that the
reason 1 haven't attendrd any of these j
meetings up to this time Is that I wanted
to make my tint Hppcarance before this
the club ol my own ward. From now on I
will be wherever there Is a meeting of re
publicans In this city, and I will be so
much in evidence at club gatherings that
some people will wish that I had stayed la
Washington or Minneapolis. "
The above declaration was made by David
II Mercer at the meeting of the Seventh
Ward Republican club on the evening of
August 21. It was a part of the attempted
peech by the nonresident congressman,
made In a moment when he felt confidence
In hla ability to discuss the Issues of hli
campaign publicly. A few moments later,
however as he listened to a scholarly and
pointed address by John P. Breen, It must
have occurred to Mercer that he had no
business r the stump, but had best rely
on the quiet political methods of the rail
road corporations and the tricky tactics of
Tom Blackburn and Will Ourley. So. Mr.
Mercer very readily forgot his promise to
"be so much In evidence at club gather
ings." Since the night when he mado the
promise there have Men Just nineteen club
meetings and he has attended only three of
them.
Aside from making another arpearance in
nls "own ward" Mercer has ventured out
only In the Sixth and Eighth, appearing In
the latter ward under the special protec
tion of the Broatch-McDonald clique of pro
fessional bolters, and In the Sixth only to
Bee the honors of the evening carried off by
Nelson C. Pratt. The First, Second and
Ftfth m-ard organlzntlons, the McKlnley club
and the colored republicans have sent him
Invitations to attend their meetings, but he
has not even had the courtesy to send his
regrets. At Wednesday night's meeting of
the colored republicans Mercer gnt as far as
the bottom of the stairs, and then, hearln?
that tho sentiment of the meeting was
trongly against hlra, turned on his heel
and hurried away.
"It Is easy to understand why Mercer
floes not appear at republican meetings,"
said a well known politician. "He has been
ordered by his managers to keep away be
cause they realize that he has no argument
whatever to advance for bis renomlnation
and re-election. Hla boasting tactics are
away below par In this campaign. When he
tries to tell the people that he Is the one
and only great man to secure public build
ings and other government favors for
Omaha he reaches the end of his rope, and
It's not a very long rone at that. There
was a time when a good many Intelligent
people were Inclined to give Mercer tho
rredlt for Omaha's splendid postofflce build
ing, but the fact that 11,200,000 of the ap
propriation for that structure was secured
by John A. McShane, a one-term congress
man, baa been published so conspicuously
of late that Mercer's attempt to sop up all
the credit for that work doesn't go now."
The following notice, signed by Charlea
A. Ooss, chairman, and W. A. Messick, sec
retary, of the republican county committee,
has been sent to the members of that com
mittee resident In the country precincts:
There have been so many Inquiries that
we think It proper to Ihhub general advices
to all country precincts that the county
central committee has done away with the
fling and the printing of official ballot by
Ihe committee for any and all of tha coun
try precincts. You will hold your primary
election on Friday, September 19, 19'2, to
select five delegates to the county conven
tion, three to the congressional convention
and one to the Judicial convention. You
must vote by some form of ballot to be
determined upon by yourselves and must
keep the polls open from 7 to 9 p. m. Give
the delegates elected their certificates of
election to the respective conventions and
report the results of the vote for county
and Judicial delegates to us, as usual, and
the result of the election of congressional
delegates to the congressional committee,
ns decided by the county committee on
August 30, 1902.
The populist party of Douglas county held
primaries yesterday, apparently In the
coat pocketa of the ward leaders. Nino
delegates from each Omaha ward, five from
each South Omaha ward and five from each
country precinct were to be named for next
Saturday's county convention In Washing
ton hall. The county convention will
choose the delegates to the congressional
and Judicial conventions, both of which
will convene Immediately after the county
body adjourn.
The principal business of the day appears
to be the double-crossing of one Peter
Hofeldt, democratic nominee for county
commissioner. The complaint la made
that three years ago the populist wanted
the place for Frank B. Hlbbard of Arling
ton and that Hofeldt and the democrats
then agreed that If H'bbard would step
aside then for Peter the Silent he (Hlbbard)
should have the nomination this year. As
a side-stepper Hofeldt has proved a failure
and now the popullstlc axe I whetted for
hla political neck. A prominent populist
aid yesterday that Hlbbard stands ready
to spend good money to gat even.
"The rest of the democratic county ticket
will be endorsed probably," said the same

The First Ward Republican club will
meet this evening at Lincoln hall, corner
of Sixth and Pierce streets, for the purpose
of transacting club business.
J. A. Easton and few other socialists
have decided to organize a local section of
the party on Walnut Hill and will meet at
Fortieth and Hamilton streets for that pur
pose. These socialists are follower of Bor
nard McCaffery. who Is said by the Balrd
faction to be out of line with the regular
organization.
David Anderson, an old wheel horse In
the republican party, and the man who
cast the first vote for David H. Mercer ten
year ago, Is not among the congressman's
present supporters. In an Interview yes
terday he said:
"I believe the nomination of Mr. Mercer
would prove a temporary calamity to the
party and citizens generally of the Second
congressional district because I believe It
would mean the election of a' democrat
from a republican district to a republican
congress which all loyal and patriotic re
publicans would deplore.
"Ten years ago I cast the first vote In
the convention that gave Mr. Mercer his
nomination and proved steadfast to him
until he exploited himself as a candidate
for the United States senate and Joined
In the crusade against and defeat of Mr.
Rosewatcr, whose claims were far above
those of any other Individual In the state
and who for thirty year proved to be the
moat able and best exponent of the grand
old party and Its beneficent policies west
of the Missouri rlvef. Our friend Dave
seems to have lost hl's political equilibrium
and sagacity. His record In congress ha
given pretty general satisfaction to hla
constituents; the argument advanced that
he has served long enough and should be
retired contain no logic whatever, as most
eastern and southern states retain their
senators and congressmen almost Indefin
itely on account of the knowledge, large ex
perience and Influence acquired In that
school of statesmanship. No business man
or employer of labor would think of dis
missing a worthy and competent employe
so long as he performed good service to
make room for a new and Inexperienced
one.
vHowever, I hold the Interests and suc
cess of the republican party to be of far
more importance than the political aspira
tions or ambition of any Individual and
therefore believe it would be very Im
politic and unwise, considering the pres
ent unfortunate status of our party In this
district at present, to give Mr. Mercer an
other nomination."
For a good and sufficient reason the Sev
enth ward republicans washed no dirty linen
at their meeting acheduled for last night.
The goad and sufficient reason was that
enough linen waa strung around on clothes
lines in their hall at Twenty-seventh and
Leavenworth streets to clothe everyone
present 136 pieces In all, and every piece
was spotless white.
This revelation waa not made until almost
9 o'clock, and it waa too much for the crowd
and the meeting was. called off. By 8:30
o'clock over fifty republcans had congregated
In front of the place, awaiting the arrival
of President Thomas to open and light the
hall. Mr. Thomas arrived. "Come on boys"
was his greeting, and armed with a lighted
match he lead the way up the dark stairs.
He unlocked the door by the flickering light
and stepped in the hall. He stopped, the
light went out and then be came out. His
hat was gone and across Ms shoulders was
a pillowcase with the water recently wrung
from it. Reinforced with more matches and
more men Thomas again made entrance to
the room. The gas wa lighted and the room
by gaslight was certainly startling.
From the southeast to the northeast cor
ner was a long rope upon which waa sus
pended wearing apparel. On the west side
of the hall, running the entire length, was
another rope, and this waa heavy with Its
load of recently washed linen.
Next Thursday night It Is expected that
the tent wtll be ready for the Seventh ward
ers and President Thomas has promised that
it shall not be turned Into a drying room
before the first meeting Is held.

is one bottle of It cured him and he has

HOTEL LIFE IS DISAGREEABLE TO THEM
Dally Papera In Lance Cities Are Be
alnalnar to Devote Moth apace
to Advance Stories oa
Blar Convention.
Letters from prospective delegate to the
Christian church convention Indicate that
not only will the hotel and boarding house
space be filled, but that there will be an
active demand for unfurnished houses dur
ing the time the convention is in session.
Writing from Minneapolis a prominent at
torney oaks tho committee to secure for
him a large vacant house and to ascertain
what furniture can be rented for during
the convention time. He will form a party
of friends who will attend the convention
from the first to the last day, and they take
this method of securing the comfort of
home in strange place. From other parts
of the country comes word that there will
be several such parties formed and the en
tertainment committee is not only securing
a list of private houses where board and
lodging can be secured, but fa also ascer
taining where unfurnished rooms can be
found during the convention.
This plan of housekeeping in the conven
tion city is almost exclusively confined to
the religious gatherings. There are many
delegates who are averse to mixing with the
haphazard crowds at hotel and do not like
the accommodations at private boarding
houses. They therefore move their families
or party of intimate associates to the city
and set up establishments, renting from
supply houses the necessary furniture.
Keonomy Mot the Object.
Economy is no object with these people,
a the furniture rent will generally cost as
much as the entertainment of 'he party at
a public house, but they have absolute free
dom of action and can have their meals
prepared aa desired and also have a place
where they can entertain friends while In
the city.
In addition to those who desire to rent
vacant houses for the convention dates
there are several who are looking for fur
nished houses, and this list will probably
Increase as the convention day approaches.
Most of the inquirers desire to get loca
tion near the convention hall, and the ef
forts of the entertainment committee will
be largely centered In that part of the city
at first. It Is expected that the subcommit
tees of the districts will report to the chair
man of the entertainment committee next
week, and that by October 1 the entertain
ment committee will be ready to begin to
assort the house cards for use during the
convention.
The convention Is beginning to attract
the attention of the metropolitan press of
the country. Last week one Chicago paper
devoted half a page to the meeting, illus
trated with half-tone pictures of the Coli
seum and some of the active workers- on the
local committee. Other papers are now re
questing advance stories, so that the meet
ing will be advertised in the larger cities
as It has never been advertised before.

FINED AFTER FIGHT WITH FIRE
I'alacky Boarder Haa Tronhte with
Gasoline aad Hla Land
lord. O. C. Crawford, who rooms at 7194 North
Sixteenth street, the house presided over
by Frank Johnson, believe that he I a
much-abused man and the following Inci
dent recited In police court yesterday
show that he was the victim of some bard
luck.
Crawford began the night by cleaning a
pair of trousers with gasoline, or rather he
began to clean. After rubbing at a grease
spot for some minute Crawford lighted a
match to see If the spot was gone. It was,
In a very few minutes, and the blaze threat
ened to do away with the rest of the trous
ers. Crawford made a heroic effort to sub
due the flame by striking the trousers on
the floor. The second strike hit the bottle
of gasoline, "which upeet and caught fire.
By this time the entire floor of the room
waa one big blaze. Crawford beat out this
fire with the trousers and then began to
make for the bottle. Falling to subdue this
blaze, be gave the bottle a kick which sent
it downstairs. In If flight the bottle
reached the bottom of the steps as the pro
prletor of the house began the ascent to
Crawford' room. This created some little
nervousness on Johnson's part, and as he
made a grab for the bottle he barely missed
Crawford, who wa hot on the trail of the
flaming bottle.
. After the fire had been extinguished and
the remainder of the roomer had quieted
down, Johnson demanded an explanation
from Crawford. It was the wrong time to
demand anything from Carwford. Craw
ford was mad. As Johnson repeated his de
mand for an explanation, Crawford waa
picking up pieces of charred trousers on the
floor of his room, but Johnson didn't take
warning. Crawford finally told Johnson It
waa none of hla business and heated word
were exchanged.
Johnson then had Crawford arrested for
fear that he would burn his house. Judge
Berka put the finishing touches to Craw
ford's run of hard luck by fining htm $3 and
costs.
