sidered good chances OF denomination he

marks.

chair fell against the wall and were never
heard again. A motion to require voters to

ried, but never enforced and the meeting

good residents OF the Sixth ward for the
occasion. John Butler from the Ninth and
Duncan FindlaySon from the Fifth were ae-
tive workers At the polls. The tellers were
John Westberg. r. B. Carter. Burt Bush and

CURED to cast the ballot for president.

1877 votes for w. @. shriver and SO votes fer
Henry ostrom. and this with less than 100
names on the rolls of the club.

tion was made to elect Robert Houghton
vice president by acclamation. This was
defeated and on a formal ballot, the CON
test being between Theodore Johnson and
Robert Houghton. the total ballot cast be-
ing 1876. III for Houghton and 70 for John

FIRST WARD REPUBLICANS
Club Elects Omcsrs and Listens to a
Number of short
Addresses.

Members OF the First Ward Republican
club held a very interesting and success
full meeting in Lincoln hall. Sixth and
Pierce streets. Friday night, where they
were addressed by Judge j. II. Blair. l.
d. Holmes. z. J. Cornish. DIT. NJ. J. Ford
and l. S. HaSca1. The FIRST order Of bust
ness after the club was called to order
was the election Of ofieers for the ensuing
year. +. W. B%andhauer was reelected to
the presidency by a unanimous vote. The
other ofneers elected were: Vice President.
Sam w. Scott; secretary. F. w. Coleman;
treasurer. George Cathro. The following
committees were appointed:

r. W. Koetter.
FinAnee-P. N. Back. John Fisla and J..

Judge Blair touched on the Philippine
policy. and quoted several extracts from
the democratic platform OF 1900. Coming
10 the subject Of trusts, he read a copy
Omaha daily bee., 1902-08-02

OF a letter he had written in May, 1892, to
w. ]. Bryan, who was then a representa-
tive In congress-, The substance of the
letter was that all trust manufactured
goods should be- placed upon the free hst
In order that the competition might kill
the trusts. mQb Lr+ e0
Bryan was pleased with the idea,' said
the speaker, and a week or so later /
received alreply from him, saying that the
committee OF ways and means, Of which
he was a member, had taken kindly to the
suggestion, and that a movement was on
foot to chrystaIliEe It into a bill. Later
I received a copy Of the bill, but It never
became q law. 1t was pigeonholed by the
committee for political reasons. Since then
every democratic platform has contained
that idea as a means Of combating trusts,
but no attempt has been made by demo-
cratic members Of congress to make good
the promises held forth in the platforms.
They simply go on advocating this remedy
which was advanced originally by a re-
publican. They never invent anything.
They are always on the negative side, and
are either springing something tina the
republicans have discarded or else some-
thing that they know won't carry"

litical organization"
e. J. Cornish made an enthusiastic talk,
In which he picked out several laws in a
recent address Of w. J. Bryan. HE says
there are only two parties, the party of
aristocracy and the party of democracy"
said the speaker, yet II he were to be
elected to the presidency where would he
expect to get his majorities from-surely
not from the northern states. No. he would
expect them from the south, where two
thirds Of the voters are disfranchised. and
where It is possible for a man 90 be elected
to congress without getting q single vote
from a laboring man. This is his party
of democracy
! 1--WE don't hear as much from democrats
as we did about the governments Philip
pine policy and other issues growing out
Of the late war. The reason is that such
issues have ceased to make good demo-
ehatie thunder. They see that the repub-
lieans have given to the Filipinos even
more rights than the democrats have given
to the negroes Of the south"
DR.. NJ. J. Ford made a strong union labor
talk, In which he advised every laborer to
join a union labor organization and live
up to Its principles, The man who goes

NEW YORK. Aug. L-Bradstreet's to-

Trade Is quiet. while attention is con-

NEW POSITION IN THE SHOPS
Union Pacific Employs Charles H'mpl' az
General Boiler Inspector.
HAS NO CONNECTION WITH STRIKE
new Man VIII Have Charge of All
Inspections md BE Amenabls
Directly to superintendent.
McNeen.

The Union Pacific has created a new Of
Zee In connection with its motive power
department, that Of general boiler inspec-
tor and has employed Charles Hemple OF
Havelock to all the place. Mr.. Hemple,
who comes from the Burlington shops at
Havelock, will have supervision OF the
inspection OF boilers over the entire sys-
tenn and will be responsible directly to
superintendent OF Motive Power MeKeen.
He also will have charge Of the installation
of boilers in the new shops.
Superintendent McKeen announces that
the creation Of this position or the EN-
ployment OF Mr.. Hemple has no relation
whatever to the present strike, that the
movement was under way before the strike
came about and would have been carried
out had there been no trouble with the
shopmen.
As has already been published Mr.. Hem
pie has been in consultation with Super
intendent McKeen during the pending
strike and an effort was made by the
strikers to connect the matter with the
disarranged affairs at the shops. Their
theory was that Hemple was to be hired
as foreman at the Omaha boiler shops to
supersede the present incumbent, Clair, but
this theory has been exploded by the action
Of the company and It's emphatic denial
that the strike had anything at all TO do
with the innovation.
The arrest Of Fred Angel, chief guard
at the Union Pacific shops, has created
considerable interest among strike circles,
Mr.. Angel was locked up on the charge
Of being a suspicious character by on1cer
Edghlli, who charges that he was display
ing a policeman's star. The arrest oc-
