This paper worked for the tax>
payers ticket; it meant all it said
in the campaign and did not att
tempt to carry water on both
shoulders. The men who have
been elected are worthy citizens
and it believes that it is the duty of
every citizen to hold no malice
now that the election is past and
gone.

How it Was Done.

Chairman D. Baughman was seen this
morning and asked the usual question,
asked by reporters, for the cause which
led up to the defeat Of the Taxpayers
ticket. He had the following in sub
stance to say. II must confess ,my OK
treme surprise that we did not carry
more of the ticket than the lone one we
did carry, and yet upon review Of the
situation l can SEQ where there was
cause for losing.
In the second wsrd in particular our
CANVASS Of the ward showed that at
least thirty men upon whom we counted
as Olsen voters we're out. They did not
vote, this we are sure Of by examina-
ton Of our books. Monday and Mon
day night forty two men residing in
the second ward went out on special
rush of business, fruit from California,
there being an overwhelming lot COM
ing right in at that time whish took out
voters. This is my main reason for the
loss OF the second.
In the Third ward Mr.. Clark made no
personal canvass not did he do any
work, being unfortun ately called away
by shearing, a business that waits on no
one just at this time.
In the First ward Mr.. Dowery did not
desire to run from the very beginning.
The people knew, a. they also knew of
Mr.. Clark's reluctance to run in the Third
ward. beleivs from personal stand
point that no man should be compelled
to run for an ONCE, which he does not
desire.
In the Fourth ward both men made a
hard fight. In this ward it was in my
estimation case of simply the most
votes.
OF the ticket in general l can say 1t
was no surprise for me to see Mr.. Gates
elected as he made a wonderful canvass
and deserved his success. lhe other
nominees also made hard fight but odds
were against them, the aldermanic sue
cesses in the other wards carried their
whole ticket through.

WHERE MCKINLEY STANDS

Speaker Henderson has written
letter to Edward Knott of Waivers
ly, Iowa, in which the speaker de-
fends his course in support ofthe
Puerto Rico tariff bill. From that
letter these extracts are taken:
II cannot gather from your let
ter what you personally think of
our action in the house, or what
you think of the president, who
thoroughly agrees with us and
worked with might and main to
get the house bill passed, and has
been so working in the senate.
/ have knowledge that l have done
my simple duty and have done it
in consultation and in cooperation
with the president Of the United
States, whose heart is quick to feel
the Affections Of this little island"
The last utterances OF President
Mckinley on this subject were con-
tanned in his message of December
5th, on which occasion the presi-
dent said:
"The markets of the United
States shSald be opened up to her
product Our plain duty is to
abolisksali custom tariffs between
the Unflsds States and Puerto Rico
and give her products free access
to our rqprkets.'
Since then Mckinley has not
publicly announced different
opinion. To the public he stated
that "our plain duty is to abolish
all customs tariffs between the
United States and Puerto Rico and
give her products free access to our
markets." and yet now comes the
speaker Of the house Of representa-,
tives and defending his action in
support of the Puerto Rico tariff
bill says "the president thoroughly
agrees with u.s." And the speaker
adds that the president worked
with might and main to get the
house bill passed and has been so
working in the senate" Then so
as not to be misunderstood the
speaker says that whatever has
been done in his fight against free
trade between the United States and
Puerto Rico has been done in con-
sultation and in cooperation with
the president of the United States.
What manner OF president is
this who in his public message will
declare it to be "our plain duty to
abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Puerto Rico"
and then privately give his indorse-
ment to tariff measure and works
with might and main" to secure the
passage Of that measured
What manner of president is this
who publicly declares one opinion
and then privately works to the
detriment of that opinion2
What manner Of president is this
who leaves it to the speaker of the
house to inform the public that the
president of the United States has
worked with might and main" to
defeat principle to which the press
ident declared his devotion in
public message1-Omaha World.

several old line men, he succeeded in
giving us a fine COnclave, numbering
about one hundred. The Conclave was
named after one of the colonial gov

part in assisting the colonies TO throw
oil the yoke OF oppression and become
free and independent States
