In pureuance with the call published in THe Bek, a meeting of the work- ingmen of Omaha was held at the Awdemy of Music yesterday after- noon for ths purpose of expressing their sentiments in regard to the re- port on the late labor troubles made to the legislature by the committee of which E. L. Bartiett was chairman. Representatives of the various trades unions and labor organizations A call from the central office yester- day morning brought the city editor of Tne Bee to the telophone in a hurry and when he was informed that Plattsmouth wanted to talk with him he at first thought the boys were giv- ing him a ‘“‘stiff.” It was straight buciness though. A connection had been made by means of the Western Union wire, and a lively conversation was soon begun with Mr. Catiight, city editr of the Daily Journal of that lively little city. Although the distance was about six- tean miles, the words sent over the wires ware as distinct as if the spea- ker had only been a block distant, and the conversation was much easier than, can be held with Council Bluffs under the most favorable circum- stauces.

The president, in the course of a tew remarks, said: Feurow Workinamen: The object of this meeting is to express our dis- pleasure at the conduct ot some of the members of the legislature and wo shall be glad to hear from any of you on the subject. Mr, Bartlett had an invitation to attend here this after- noon, but he is such a good Christian that he could not violate the Sabbath. When he was canvassing for votes to send him to Lincoln, however, he weont around in the beer gardons on Sunday, and did not think so much of the Sabbath then. He don’t dare t» show his face here this afternoon. It is for you to say whether he is going there again or not. Now, I would ask for your views, and your expressions, (Ap- plause.) MR. EDWARD ROSEWATER being enthusiastically called for, said: Mg, CuaigmaN Asp Feruow Crri- zuNs:—1 regret that circumstances over which we have no control have compelled the workingmen of Omaha to transgress that part of their religi- ous creed that commands them to ob- serve the soventh day, or rather the first day of the week, as a day of reat; but as a matter of fact, as I under- stand it, the public halls in this city are all engaged, at least this is, for every night during the week, includ- ing Sunday night, and inasmuch as many of you are unable, after a hard day’s work, to attend a nighv meeting, %0 it was thought best to call this meeting this afternoon. 1 should have preferred that some one among you should have preceded me in stating the general causes that have brought you together, You are all doubtless aware that there have been troubles in Omaha, oalled by certain parties riots; t & few weeks ago the militia of this state, under the command of the governor of this state, and federal troops were calied into this city, and occupied your strects and other places for the purpose, as they claimed, to put dowr. a very dan- gerous riot, In due course of time they folded their tents and marched away, And when the legislature met in extra seasion, on the 12th of this month, bills were presented for nearly $13,000 to meet the expenses of put- ting down this terrible riot in Omaha, [A voice, “‘T'o put down George Arm. strong. | Yes, to put down one man in Omaha, GOVERNOR NANCE in his measage, in order to justify his course, officially stated, that thetroops found on their arrival here a very desperate riot. The mob was ut and a bloody collision was imminent, ! and he-congratulated the state forces and the people of the state that there was not any more bloodshed than there was. Now then, the legislature bofore whom the claims were pending, lrvohltod a committee to counsider the claims, and the Hon, E. M. Bartlett, from this county, was made ehairmao, After the committee was appointed Mr. Moore, from York county, intro. duced resolutions, which were adopted by the house, llufluf in substance that the alleged riots in Omaha were regarded in very many quarters as mggtnuz and the pretext for call. ing out the troops here was not sus- tained, and, therefore, he called upon the committee to investigate the causes that led to the riot, and re- quired them to report whether or not the officers had overstepped their authority, Mr. Bartlett, as chairman, made a report, which I will read, as you eanuot intelligently understand his action withount firat consi ng what this report was. I understand | Me. Bartlett, who has not seen fit to respond to your iuvitation, says that this report is in every respect salis- factory, I presume it is very satis- factory to him and especially to THE BRIGADIERS who swaggered around Omaha and drew $136 apiece for their time. Mr. Bartlett claims that there is nothing in this report that reflscts on you or any workingmen in Omaha, but we shall presently see. Mr. Rosewater then read the report, which has already appeared in the columns ot Tur Ber Here then ia the statement ofticially made, which has boen put into the archives of this state as the truthful history of the Jabor troubles of Omaba. Iwasin the house when Mr. Barlett made the report, but of course none but members come have a word to say on the matter, and I remember I noticed Mr. Mullen, 2 member from this ceunty, rise idignantly as if he was about to remonstrste. But he repressed his feelings and concluded to say nothing. Objections were mads by Moore, Holmau aud several others that chis repors was ONE SIDED and only represented the yiews of the officers concerned in this matter, but the report of the committee was finally adopted. Mr. Bartlett had stated that he had no authority to send for persons and papers, Now Mr. Bartlett knew that the house would have authorized him to incur the necessary expense to send for any- body they wanted to have there, but he was acting attorney for persons who did not want him to send for persons and papers or any mforma- tion that would have led to cutting down expenses, The stat> could have afforded to pay fare and time for eight of ten persons rather than to pay $136 tor each brigadier who had nothing to inspect except the whisky jugs in the diffsrent saloons. (Laugh- ter and applause.) Everyone will concede that THE TROOPS who simply obeyed the order of their commandor ought to be paid, but there was no excuase for paying a gov- ernor’s staff and a regimental staff. Now then, when 1 heard of these one sided and partial reports which were to be put into the archives of the state, and which would go down to history, T thought it best to write ont a statement, giving such a version as would be given by nine-tenths, yes by ninety-nine out of every hundred per- sens who were not instigators for call- ing out the military, 1 made a statement over my signa- ture and hauded it to the same member who introduced the original resolu- tion. He was the proper person, be- cause he had asked the legislature to investigato the matter. As a constitu- ont of Mr. Bartlett I had just as much right to do this as the mayor of Omaha or the humblest citizen, and Mr. Bart- lett was tho last man who should have objected. WHAT DID HE Do? No sooner had the secrotary started to read the communication than he jumped up and shouted, he did not want any stump speach from Edward Rosewater, of course a great many gentlemen thought that was entirely inconaistent, especially as the house was in a committee of the whole, After a wrangle the communication was ordered read. Ido not know whether you want that communication read here, (cries of ‘‘read 1t”) Mr Rosewater then read the com- munication, which has been previous- ly published in Tux Brg, after which he proceeded, Fellow citizens of Omaha, I ask you if there 1 anythiog in this statement that can be success- fully contradicted, or that exaggerates or misatates any of THE POINTS AT ISSUK. (Liaud cries of no, no) I was very tioular in abstaining from all re. lections that were not necesaarily re- flections upon the general conduct of the campaign, 1 ‘said nothing about the committee or impugned its mo- tives, ‘When this question was placed be- fore the legislature Mr. Moore re- quested that it should be embodied with Mayor Boyd's Jetter and the uth- er documents, ' A motion was made to lay the whole on the table. That motion was i wn, A fiil- libustering game was played that last. ed a day and a half, The railroad sirikers lod by Churoh ; Howe and Bartlott mado anonslought, I not upon the quustions at issue be- | tween the statesmen nn‘du offigial l:'a- | ports, against any allegation, but upon mmu. My, Bartlett, 1a hfl card, says we can find the truth The speaker continued: Well, this is about the substance of all the speaches made by Bartlett, Now, in no place does he contradict a single statemont that was made in my com- munication. In no place does he question the veracity of it. He says that this statoment was made in be- half of none but cut-throats, thugs, and thieves. Well, then when about 500 work- ingmen signed a petitivn, asking that this statement be put on record just the same as the letter of Mayor Boyd, Mr. Bartlett moved and voted that the petition be laid upon tha table, Has asserted right there that not a voice from : MIS CONSTITUENTS should be heard, thas the laboring men of Omaha in- sisted that no man should work at auch wages a3 he is willing to labor for and that T had encouraged that idea. I have eucouraged no rush thing, I have always asserted that ! workingmen have the rizht to induce others from working at low wages by peaceable means, but that they have no right to force men from working at any prico thoy clioose, That is a | fact, and no man ever heard mo say anything else. Itisa fact that I can subatantiate that this much abused man JIM STEPHENSON after the affray on the dump was ready and willing to pay his laborers $1.75 a day, butthe B. & M officials de- clared you mast nov do it. We wili not allow you to pay the wages you are willing to pay. It is wrong and unlawful for any man, or set of men to say to- other men they shall not work for wages they are willing to ac- copt. T want to know by what author- ity the B. & M. can interfere witha contractor, and order him not to pay the wages he is willing to pay. What was the object of these officials? I talked with CHARLIE GREEN, who is their attoraey. He said we did not propose to surrender. We wauted to vindicate the honor of this state. D) we want the honor of this state vindicated at the point of the bayonet when employers can settle their dif ference peacably? Mr. Stephenson was willing to allow his men to go to work and willing to pay the wages they asked, when another party rtep pedout and says no you must not pay these wages, we will precipatato a con- flict between the people aud the mili- tary in Omaha rather than allow you to do 8o, Sipoeethe contractor who 15 grading karpam street should de- cide to pay his men $2.00, and he was sure to lose money in his contract, what right would anybody have to in- terfere! There' is not a shadow of doubt but there is AN INSIDE RING that got this contract with Stephen- eon, for whom he is simply acting, and this ring preferato put the state to exponse rather than lose some of its profits. I do not propose tostoop to criticise all that toox place at the state legisla. ture, because, according to The Re- publican, it was an entertainment, which these gentlemen appeared to eujoy. Ido not care how much they enjoyedit. There will be another en- tertainment sooner or later when we will-all be there, and they will do the dancing., [Loud laughter and ap- plause. | What was the excuse for sending half a dozen brigadiers to Omaha? There were about 146 private soldiers and 120 officers in one regiment, and this was a skeleton regiment. One company, the Blue Springs artillery, only drew $56, and another only drew $76. THE INSPROTOR OENERAL of the state of Nebraska drow $136— the sampler general, I mean--and then they had to run up a bill of $114 for medicines, and I know a great deal of that was for whisky, There was no excnse for paying all of these ille- gitimate expenses, They should have been knocked out. Instrad of doing | this, they entertained the house for two da with a fan dango, jwst simply making an on- slaught on one indiyidual at the ex- pense to the tax-payers of $500 a d.y‘ * * * » * Right here we got to another point | which ought to be drawn out sooner | or later, unless we abolish the entire militia. the question is this, wheras | i3 the line to be drawn botween the | military and civil authority?

On | the floor of the house he was entircly | fzee from reaponsibility. ‘The consti- tution of the stite guarantees him immonity from all liability for words spoken in debate. He may call men murderers, cutthroats, incendi- aries, or anything he pleases. He took that liberty of speech which be- longs to representatives of the people. But it is right, when he misuses that liberty, for his constituents to call him to account, You have a right to ask him whether what he stated on that floor was comporting with the dignity of a representative, and whether he did justice to the people who genv him. He is not here, and we will leave him to those who hold him responsible, when the right time comes, [Loud and prolonged cheer- ing.] MR. JOHN QUINN being called for, stepped on the stage and said: Mgz. CHaIRMAN AND Ferrow Crm- zeNs: I don’t know that T have gota great deal to say upon the subject. In fact, I think you all know just about as much as I do, because you have all been in Omalia duringthe late trouble, I have no doubt you understand it just as well as Mr. Bartlett. Most of you have been 2t the dump (laughter) and know what occurred chere. I do not think this meetiog is very proper, I thiuk it is altogether im- proper. It does such legal squirts and low lawyers too much honor to notice thewm. I am not ¢ oll surprised that Mr. Bartlett ined your invitation, for as Mr. Rosowater says a representa- tive down in Lincoln bas the privilege tolie, Well, I propose to taka the same privilege to speak THE TRUTH, and tell Mr, Bartlett that he lies, and if Thad heen a ‘representative and lied as he had lied I certainly would have declined the invitation, (Loud laughter.) Itis nothing very singular to find one of his profession lying; that is one of the chief tenets of their profession, It would have been much more strange if any one had discovered him telling the truth, I dow's kuow why he lied. We all koow be did, and why he did he knows himself. We frequently read about FROMISING YOUTHS ¢ miog from tne east who are sure to make 8 mark in the west, in Omaha. If they come, what do they bring with thew, and what do they do? Do they g0 into the grocery business, or do they engage in manufactures? They bring with them nothing but their cheek, aud they go into law. We have had a great many of these peo- ple como into this city. I have been here fifteon years, and I have read of their coming; the reporters always notice them. Mcr. Bartleit would not come on the Sabbath, It is the Lord’s Day, Itis the workingman’s day, and Goed gave it to the workingman because the cap- italists would not. [Loud cheers.] Returning to the promising young men the next thing they do, they go and put on A PALE OF GOGGLES, attend church meetings and get all the old ladies to think he isa splendid young min, (Loud laughter,) Ho is reading law with an eminert lawyer, and then the first thing we find he is running for office,- He is the very party to misrepresent the people at Lincoln although he proposes to re- present them, The result is that he woes to Lineoln to represent the peo- ple aud misrepresents them, and the people in electing Lim to be their ser- vant very soon discover that he is their master, or assumes to be their master, » Now Mr. Bartlett was a great work- | ingmen’s champion some YEARS AGO, and I sy if he had the opportu- ity to rmida:hh action he would lfil{ be & workingmen's champion, You all saw that he eulogisod de- If he can delegate the powers to the mayor, the Such things can only be done in No- | | ceased membera, but he left Lincoln i and threw away a rare opportunity ! before the adjournment. He did not | deliver his own valedictory addresa. He forgot that he is just as dead po- | lltically as the other men were whom | he eulogized. Who is responsible for Bartlett'- ! misrepresentations? We are the pars ties. We areresponsible and not Mr, Barlett, as we sens him to Lincoln, It he had come here he might have explained and yet not have explained. These lawyers and politicians have a peculiar faculty of appearing to ex- plain when in reality they explain nothing. I will refer to another gentleman who endeavored to explain at Wash- ington, SENATOR VAN WYCK, You all know we went to hear him, He occupied half an hour telling us about the greatness of our country, efc; but did he tell us what he thought about Governor Nance, or the conduct of the city suthorities? Oh, no! When he was asked what he thought of the killing of Armstreng, he replied with great levity, unbecom- ing a senator: he supposed that he took hold of the wrong end of the gun, and senators always explain that way. The senator had explained that he could not vote for THE CHINESE BILL on account of the Burlingame treaty. It was the first time he discovered that treates were‘like the laws of the Medes and the Persiane, unalterable., But the senator said that nothing could be done because of that treaty. Who didn't he bring in a bill to modify the treaty? %L is the way with these politicians tc go on ticklin; the ears of the working people, and know this is what Bartiett has been doing. I have no hesitation in saying that the report that Mr. Rosewater put in was true, every word of it, and was the only true report, and was the only report that should have gone into the archives of the state. ‘ It will be your care to see, as well as mine, tha: when these men come up agamn that we get along without men of their class, and see whether other people 3 CANNOT REPRESENT us as woll as such lawyers do, because they have not represented us yet. They have always represented them- selves, Statesmanship seems to be on the decline, as well as patriotiein, which appears now to be nothing but a de- sire to share public plunder. Itis part of our duty ¢o purify this state of things, [Oheers.] Mr. John Pope Hodnett, president of the National Labor league, ad- dressed the meeting at this point. The following resolution was unani- mously adopted: Whereas, E. M. Bartlett is said to be an applicant for the position of United States assistant district attor- lm{; and, Whereas, Said position should be filled by an honest, honorable and in- corruptable man; therefore, Resolved, That we hereby enter our emphatic protest against the ap- pointment of said K. M, Bartlett to any position within the gift of the president, Resolved, That our eenators and representatives in congress are hereby re juested to withdraw their indorse- went, of said E. M. Bartlett. Resolved, That our senators and representatives in congress be fur- nished with copies of these resoiutions, also that our city papers be l’cqu&l!fié to publish the same. A vote of thanks was tendered to the speakers who had addressed the meeting, and the meeting adjourned, sine die, RS L Messrs.
