Third Ward Enthusiasm.
A rouslng republican meeting with an at
tendance OF about 200 was held at Eagle
hall last night under the auspices of the
Third Ward Republican club. The meeting
was full of enthusiasm from start to finish.
The first speaker was Hon. e. j. Cornish.
He said: From 1882 to 1887 l was a resi-
dent and voter OF the Third ward, and /
then learned to know that the Third ward
is always loyal to its friends and can be
relied upon doing what 1t says 1t will do.
The effort to stampede the Third ward from
Frank e. Moores is a futile effort, for the
colored voters of the Third ward have no
more loyal friend than Frank e. Moores.
Judge Hickey told me the other day that
in no city in the country are the colored
people treated more fairly than in Omaha,
and by no man better than by Frank r.
Moores. Mr.. Moores does not make any
distinction in his fair dealing with men.

poor or rich. His lie a big generoAs heart
that is always on the side of the oppressed
and lowly, and for this reason the Third
ward will roll UP for him one of Its old
time maiorities.
Frank Moores represents the best busi-
ness interests OF the city, because he is
the friend Of the masses and Of the SUBJ
stantial business interests of the city tina
constitute it's business life and pay the
taxes for It's maintenance. As a mayor he
has been true and fair to all of Omaha, and
not of any special class. Because the cor
porations are so bitterly fighting him is
the best assurance that they fear tina they
cannot manipulate him to their own selfish
ends."
