cred on him when he accused Alderman
Ross OF bribery in connection with Gus
tave Newman's license. hobnobbed with
that gentleman as though nothing had
happened. Alderman Wilson said that the
committee appointed to Investigate the
alleged bribery found nothing except that
if Heritage had made such an accusation
he didn't mean to. and finally that he
(Ieritage) had made amends and offered
a pubic apology.
The investigating committee was dis
charged with thanks When Heritage wa9
asked If he proposed doing anything fur
ther about the matter he had something
bordering on a fit. and showed an incli-
nation to make dinner of all the re-
porters in sight He wouldn't talk because
ne was too excited to do so in his usual
eloquent manner
When the meeting was over everybody
wanted to know what Alderman Mccarthy
had up his sleeve about free theatre tick
cts and the part they played in the re-
naoVal from the Craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on exhibitions
According to the statement made by
the Alderman some tine ago President
Reuben Simpson, in his official capacity
sent to Frank Henderson the manager
of the Academy of Music, and asked for
two free tickets He sent the message
to Mr.. Henderson by City Marshal
Graham. The request was not granted.
Alderman Vermilye. the pious gentleman
who is clerk in the City Collectors
office, also tried to get free tickets at
the Academy. He asked for them in
He was mad and laid plans for revenge
The refusal caused a riot in the Repub-
lican Aldernanic circles. and to get square
with Manager Henderson an ordinance
was drawn up fix ng yearly license fee
Of $3.50 on every theatre in the city. That
ordinance was drawn by the present City
Clerk, Edward Bumptious Wcolley, and
the original copy in his hand writing is
today in possession of Alderman Nc
Carthy. He has been importuned dozen
times to rpesent it, and on each occasion
he has stoutly refused to do so. The
secret Of that ordinance would doubtless
have died with the present Board had not
Alderman Mccarthy been nnceremon-
lousy and without cause removed from
the exhibition committee President
Simpson wasted several hours to-
day trying to deny his. connection with
the free graft theatre ticket scandal. He
was willing to make all kinds of affi-
davits but the testimony of Marshal
Graham and Manager Henderson is
against him.
Another secret of that committee is
the part President Simpson and Alderman
yernNye played in the granting of a
license to Barnum's Circus to exhibit in
this city. Those gentlemen, it is said,
insisted upon charging the Barnum peo-
pie 5000 day, when they gave Sells
Brothers, who had show of almost the
same magnitude, license for SIS. Prices

ENTHUSIASTIC FOURTH
Great Meeting for Samuel G.
Warrin = Woolley and
Broome Scored.

The Fourth Ward Democratic Club held
a rousing meeting in the rooms of the
Robert Davis Association last night.
There We're about one hundred men pres
ent, and among them were gentlemen
who heretofore have shown an active in.
terest in the welfare of the Republican
party.
Col. Boltwood and Ferdinand Heintze
were present and made brief addresses.
Both declared that if elected they would
devote their time ito bringing about re-.
duction of the running expenses of the
city government. They also declared
that if exposure would accomplish it they
would put an end to the Street and Water
Department being made a hospital for
Republican heelers and henchmen. The
candidates made a good impression on
the audience and they were loudly
cheered.
Samuel G. Warrin. the Aldermanie cam
didate of the Fourth ward, was present.
He made rafting speech, and said
among other things that if elected he
would look into the extravaganza which
now characterizes the Board of Aldermen.
Il will also make determined effort,
he continued, ''lf elected, to represent the
people of this ward to put a stop to
abuses which are said to exist in the of

has clerks Who are well paid by the city
doing work in the office which gives him
handsome income and pays the city
nothing The Republicans are in power,
and they are working The city to the
queens taste. 1t is time these outrages
were ventilated and the guilty ones ex-
posed. A man who used public office
and seeks to line his own pockets with
gold at the city's expense is no man to
hold Office We were promised reform
but it has not been given US, and now is
the time when over-taxed property owners
should rise up and wrest the government
of the city from the hands of the Repub-
licans before irreparable damage is done

Mr.. Warrin was loudly applauded and
he was pledged the support of every man
present. Republicans admit that he is
a better candidate than the man they
named. who is loaded down with the
Warrin's election is assured and voters
who favor honest government are getting
out to work. for him as a well-known,
straight forward Democrat.
Joseph Totten exposed the Republican
abuse in various branches of the city gov.
ernment. AS a property owner, he spoke.
He said that if the city is not to be bank
rupted the citizens must combine now
and force the Republican ring now in
control out of office.
Col. John Oxley handled the Repubn-
can party without gloves. He made a
red hot speech. e attacked L. H

money upon II in her extremity, and
pretended that there was still a debt,
after he had cleared her wood lot to
pay himself back. He would plow over
