referred TO their recent trip through the
country precincts and their cordial reception
at all points. They predicted success for the
republican ticket and backed their assertions
with citations OF fact.
c. Z. Winter made the principal address
OF the evening, taking up some OF the argu-
monts that Bryan has been advancing in his
late speeches. Hc pointed out especially
the different positions occupied in success
sion by the silver statesman on the question
OF prices. At first he had proclaimed them
too low for the good of the people and now
they arc getting too high again. He also
went over the ground upon which Mr.. Bryan
had based his charge that the republican
party was the party of trusts and corpora
tlons and showed eoncusively that the trust
question was in no way party issue.
Mr. Winter took up the letter published in
the local fusion organ from Ohio, asking for
voluntary contributions to the campaign
fund and compared 1t with the standing call
for party funds which the paper had in its
columns Tho letter, he said was a com.

so there would have been no need OF a cal

Condition of Montnnn my Crop.

The Montana stockman and Farmer, pub
lished at Helena, has this to say of the
winter feed Montana stock growers have
reached the season of the year when they
can tell what can be depended upon so far
as feed is concerned for the winter. Re
ports show that the ranges are in good con-
dition, but not an unusual amount OF hay
has been cut. Last winter used up all of
the surplus hay and for the coming winter
the growers will have to depend upon the
ranges and the hay cut this season Many
sheepmen are not going to chance keeping
large focks the coming winter and are cell

Democratic Central Committee.

The democratic county central committee
met Wednesday night at tho rooms OF the
Jeffersonian club and transacted business
in connection with holding meetings and
rallies. The members from the different
wards and precincts. or as many as were
present, reported halls in their district which
could be secured for the purpose and these
lists were placed in the hands OF the ex-
ecutive committee to be used by it In maxi
ing the arrangements.
much warmer meeting than actually
took place had been expected as the idea had
beet bruited around that well-deyeloped
opposition to the present executive COM
mittee would become manifest. 1t was even
believed by some democrats that the COM
mittee would be ousted entirely and its
successors chosen. The reason assigned
for this opposition was the suspicion that
the members OF the committee had not been
as true TO the democratic ring OF the circus
as they might have been Whether such
a movement is on foot or not nothing Of the
kind was revealed Wednesday night. The
attendance was not very full and the session
did not last long,

Special Councn Meeting Tonight

Mayor Ensor has announced that he will
call special meeting of the city council
for tonight to take action on his veto of
the contract awarded to George Dare for the
laying of four hundred feet of sewer on
Q street. Residents on @ street where this
sewer is to be laid are anxious for the
work TO proceed and unless there is a spe-
cial meeting action on the veto will not
be taken until the regular meeting in No
yember.
The mayors veto reads as follows: "At
the last meeting of your honorable body on
the I'd inst. / find that you awarded con-
tract to George L. Dare for the laying of
a sewer in district No, 1O7, according TO
plans profiles and specifications on file in
the office OF the city engineer. / also find
that you did not award the contract in ac-
cordance to law and to the best interests OF
the taxpayers in the said district The es-
innate as required by the city engineer calls
for the laying of 400 feet Of ten-inch
sewer pipe and the building of four man
holes. The bid OF Mr.. Dare was 9S
cents per lineal foot for the laying of the
sewer, amounting to 1884. The specif-
cations also call for the building of forty
Ave feet OF manholes. Mr.. Dare's bid OF
S3.S5 per foot amounts to sl73.25. Total OF
Mr. Dare's bid for sewer and manholes,
sl,545.25. The bid of James p. Connolly
on the 1,400 feet OF sewer was Sc cents
per foot, amounting TO s1.2O4. Mr.. Connolly's
bid for four manholes amounts to $3.50, max
ing total OF Sl,424, which is Sl2l,25 less
than Mr. Dare's bid. ! cannot account for

Blun Park.

- OMAHA, oct. Ito, the Editor of
Ihe Bee Last spring, when the
North Omaha Improvement club was
discussing park affairs with the com
missioners, the members of the board on
several occasions commended very highly
the action of the citizens living near River
view park. When IL was desired to increase
the size OF that park the taxpayers in the
vicinity agreed to the necessary assess
ment. The hint was not valuable to those
OF us who We're seeking the Improvement
or existing parks-wc felt thai Miller park
ana Fontanelle We're too big now for the
funds that were available. The suggestion
Is therefore handed over to the people OF
kountze Place and others living near the
Exposition grounds. The park board has
no funds TO purchase new parks. Prop
erty owners in the district east of Twenty
fourth and north OF Grace should be will
ing to be assessed that the Bluff
tract might remain public park 1t would
be grand monument TO public generosity
and would be doing for the north part OF
the city what the citizens near Riverview
We're glad to do. Unless reports are greatly
exaggerated sufficient money was left in
the district mentioned last year by EXPOSE
tion visitors to pay for several parks. The
Exposition was organized to help Omaha

| SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

Wednesday the Stock Yards company
commenced the work of filling in tract of
land at Thirty-fifth and l streets, Just east
of the cooper factory. The dirt used in lev
cling up this tract is being taken from the
west end of the Armour grounds. AS sooa
as the filling Is completed the erection OF an
addition to the cooperage factory will be
commenced. This new building will be $50
feet in length and fifty feet in width The
basement and first story will be built of
brick, while the second story will be of GAL
vanized iron. A short time ago the Omaha
Cooperage company purchased the plant of
the Lincoln Cooperage company and will
move the stock and machinery to this city
as soon as the new building is completed
The new structure will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 and will more than double
the capacity of the plant. Commencing on
! November /, this company will manufac-
ture 1900 barrels a day instead OF 500
day as at the present time. Sixty men are
| now employed, but when the proposed
building is completed the force will be in
| creased to 100 men. Manager Welch ex-
| poets to commence building in about ten
| days and he figures that it will not take
more than a month to finish the work. More
than likely the machioery in the entire
| long, as negotiations to that end are now
pending with the local electric light COM
pany.
| In connection with the erection of the
new building Manager Wech said yesterday
| that the city council would be requested to
vacate Thirty-f fifth street between II and l.
| This street shows on the map, but has never
| been opened for travel Last September
when it was reported that request for the
vacation of the street would be made the
South Omaha Land company filed protest
| against the granting of the request, alleging
that the closing of the street would dam
| age the property belonging to the company.
| This protest was referred to the street and
| alley committee, but no action has been
taken for the reason that no request has
been made for the vacating OF the street
1t is possible that when the city council re-
allzes that the vacating OF the treet will
benefit growing industry the remonstrance
| OF the land company may be overruled.
The capital stock OF the cooperage COM
paoy is to be increased from $50 900 to $780,
900 prior to the enlarging OF the plant.

Talk TO About Thirty Voters in the
Ninth Ward.


Ninth Ward.
Several of the fusion candidates for county
and city offices met with about thirty voters
in the Ninth ward Wednesday night and
discharged the first gun OF the campaign in
that part of the city. Short addresses were
made by Frank Broadwell John Power,
Fred Elsasser Emil Youngfelt and p. B..
Myers The principal speeches of the even
ing were delivered by w. o. Gilbert, Silas
Robbins, colored man, and David VanEtten.
Tho republican party was denounced and the
meeting enthused to considerable degree
when Mr.. Gilbert asserted that lone dead
Thomas jefferson lis better than twenty five
live McKinleys." Mr.. Gilbert touched the
national political issues but briefly, devoting
himself chiefly to an exposition of the neces-
stty Of wrestling from the republican control
Of the city School Board and incidentally
calling attention to his own candid, ~ for
that position. Mr.. Robbins found himself
handicapped because of lack of sufficient
time to cover the entire national political
field thoroughly. but gave his old time col
leagues-the republcans-several hard raps,
asserting that they ought to be wiped off the
face Of the earth, and applying a few choice
epithets to the party in general, which
aroused his auditors to a state of wild en-
thusiasm. He called attention of the fusion
lists to certain patriot over in the Philip
pines by the name Of Aguinaldo and advised
them to follow his example by fighting for
freedom, with free silver and everything
else that is free thrown in on the side. He
conflded to his hearers the fact that a ma
tority of the republicans. themselves, were
opposed to the war in the Philippines and
clinched this argument by stating that he
had heard them say So" When it came
Mr. VanEtten's time to speak he confined
himself to the silver question. II he had
touched upon any OF the other questions OF
tho day the meeing would probably not have
adjourned until morning. He traced the
silver question from the time of Abraham
on down through the critical stages of the
early '7Os when the great crime" was
committed, to the present day, and endorsed
all that has ever been said in favor of free
silver.
A.. II. Nipple presided over the meeting
in facetious manner and introduced each
of the speakers with some little pleasantly
which placed the candidates. who ac.
knowledged themselves green at the speech
making business" at their ease.

Waited Until Too Lntc.

another glaring inconsistency to which
l shall call attention is the fact that MIR.
Yeiser waited until after the eleventh hour
to make his demonstration. The law says
thirty days notice of submission must be
given, yet Mr.. Yeiser waited until the limit
of the twenty ninth day before he filed his
petition. That gives rise to technicality
that of itself is enough to defeat the sub
mission proposition, | believe. Why didn t
he come in earlier? 1t is not a new ques-
tion, he says, and it seems to me if he is
sincere in his play for popular government
he would have raised his issue prior to the
expiration of the thirty-day limit.
THE petition upon which he bases his
mandamus application is not Of recent or
igin. 1t was made up year or more ago
There are many other reasons that will be
called to the attention of the court. | be-
lieve, as a matter of fact that the initiative
and referendum law Is defective, at least
the courts have heretofore so held, but even
| If not, the inconsistencies Of Mr.. Yeiser's
attitude are sufficient to knock out the pres
ent attempt.

Wednesday was a sort OF aftermath of

town remained over from Tuesday in order
to more leisurely look over the exposition.
This, with the usual crowd on the ground,
made quite showing and in consequence
things went with snap and vigor. The
band concert in the afternoon claimed the
closest attention of the crowd and the pro-
gram was doubled, the auditors remaining
in their seats after the last number, thus
paying the conductor hight compliment by
calling for another selection.
The other features were not unusual, ex-
cept the sham battle, where the bucking
broncho made a little excitement by throwing
his rider to the ground rather roughly. The
young man mounted again in a few minutes
and conquered the pony, much to the delight
of the spectators. In the evening the people
