and clerks we're necessary IN each pre-
cinct OF the city under the Australian bal
lot system. This feature Of the Australian
ballot as it relates % cities. has been
the subject of much discussion of late
and the democrats are making much COM
plant on account Of the fact that two
Judges are TO be added IL is not known
whether the democratic counciimen VIII
meet in order that the extra men may be
regularly appointed not a special
meeting or the council is called at 70 a. m
this morning to allow the bills and sal

are few matters Of public concern 20 be
attended TO as we'll. Nothing is said Of
the proposition TO appoint Judges. The
probabilities are that the council VIII come

West Side I'd In' Arms.
The republicans held a meeting last night
at Forty-first and E streets. under the
auspices OF the West Side improvement
club. and found there an intense senti-
ment against the levy of an occupation
tax at this time upon the street railway
company. The residents believed thor
oughlv that the question should remain
unchanged from the present very satisfac-
tory arrangement The arrangement is
that no occupation tax snail be levied for
five years. so as 70 give the company time
to complete this extension and a number
OK others In the city The promise OF
prompt extension Of car service is counted
quite as much a boon as an occupation
tax would be. The above facts were the
basis OF much argument before the ar
rival OF the candidates. and the assur-
ances OF the candidates that nothing
would be done TO prevent the car line was
received with great enthusiasm. 1t was
declared that the democrats favor the &C.
cupation tax not so much as a benefit
10 the people as for a leverage on the
corporation. and Il was predicted that time
would show the bad faith Of the demo-
cratic candidates in this particular
All Of the candidates were present at this
meeting although they arrived a little late
owing 10 an important meeting at head
quarters The need OF street car service IN
that section was brought home to them
more forcibly than ever because most Of
them had TO walk.
Two meetings are scheduled for tonight
One Is 20 be at the Highland school in the
rooms OF the Highland Improvement club.
Twenty-seventh ana Monroe street The
other Is to be at Lundin's hail at Twentieth
and Missouri avenue
Some little disappointment has been ex--
pressed by the residents in some districts
OF the city that the candidates have not
yet visted them. It is to be remembered
by those who are anxious to meet the can
didates that the city il pretty large ana IL
takes time to ger around TO all. A great
effort viii be made to treat all sections
alike in this respect
Prompt Denial by Troutan.
The LATEST nanard OF the pseudo demo-
cratic organ in South Omaha. charging that
J. c. Trouton is a candidate for the office
OF chief OF police. which was sprung with
the hope OF engendering strife in the re-
publican ranks. has been promptly put TO
rest by a fiat statement OF the man most
