OMAHA DAILY BEE---FRIDAY JULY 11 1884, [ ————— MR. CONNELL SPFAKS, The City Attorney Answers the Ser. mon Preached by Rev, Harris Sun. day Night. To the Editor of Tax Ben Rev. Harris, in the daily papers, as woll as in his pnlptt, has recently been endeavoring to gain a little cheap notori- oty, by abusing ex-Mayor Chase and ex- Marshal Guthrie; villifying the city coun- cil, and denouncing and misrepresenting other of tho city officials. While hang- ing about the district court a few days ago he was mistaken by me for s gambler, (I beg pardon of the gamblers,) and as the result of such mistake, I becamo the subjeot of the next discourse of this gteat moral reformer. Now,.I do not object to furnishing texts for any minister who will handle his subject with ordinary fairness and ability, but I do protest against having my name dragged into one of the disjointed harangues of this cheap preacher, who, to put it mildly, has made a mistake in his calling. I admire the ability and genius of a Beecher or a Tal- radge, but I abominate the egotist, who, with more muscle than brains, attompts to follow in the wake of these groat men, It I am to be torn to pieces, dissected, disbarred and cast into oblivion for attempting o defend Colonel Chaso in the- district court, on the charge of bribery now pending against him, let it be by some other divine than the Rev. Harris, 1 could perhaps sur- vivo the operation if performed by men of the standing, honesty and integrity of Rova, Sherill, Seott, Savidge or Copeland, but with the Roev. Harris as the opera- tor, I would feel too much like the fel- low who was butted in the pit of the stomach by a mountain ram. He was badly hurt and a_physicain was sent for. The latter arrived and asked him how he folt. He replicd, *'I am ready for death, but 1 don't like to die this way. I would- n't mind being kicked to death by a thoroughbred hotse, or gored to death by a Durham bull, but I can't stand the idea of being butted into eternity by a moun- tain ram,” 1 never heard the Rev. Harris but on one occasion and I never care to hear him aguin. A vast concourse of people wero gathered togother in honor of the memory of the late Watson B, Smith., The occasion was one that would naturally call for a tribute both touching and eloquent. I but echo the sentiments of nearly the on- tire audienco then presont when I say that of all the driveling, whining, dis- jointed, grating remarks ever indulged i, those of Rev. Harris on this occasion capped the climax. It is preachers of such calibre who, to sustain themselves, make from their pulpits indiscriminate assaults upon everyboriy and everything, always taking special pains to have their able and eloquent (1) remarks published in the newspapera. The Rev. Harris, who from the nature of his calling is supposed to have some charity, ishighly incensed and royally Indignant because I have undertaken to assiat in the defense of Col. Chase, who, with ex-Marshal Guthrie is cnarged with receiving bribes from gamblers. If 1 was defending the gamblersit would probably be all right. But, bocause I seo fit to aid in the defense of a man who, everybody fmust admit during his prior ofticial career was beyond even the approach of a bribogiver, I am denounced a3 *‘one who batrays the confidence of the judge.” This is one of the blind express- 10n8 of the Rev. Harris. How a judge's confidence is betrayed is not very ciear. Ho adds, however, that “‘a lawyer who will do this can not find any justifiable grounds for his position and ought to bo disbarred,” and further that I should‘'re- sign my position as city attorney,” Just how my action in aiding in the defense of Col. Chase couflicts with my duties as city attorney does not appear from the sermon of the distioguished divine. He jumps at thess conclusions. He failes to consider that the city has not lost a dollar, even if it were true that the gamblers had paid out some of their money. The offense charged is one against the state, supposed to be repre- sented by the district attorney. The case is entirely different from the case of a city treasurer charged with embezzling the funds of the city. In that case the city would have a_direct pecuniary inter- ost, and upon the resulv of a criminal prosecution might turn the civil llability of the treasurer and his bonds-men. So far as my connection with the deferso of Col. Chase in tho district court is con- cérned, it is with the consentand approy- al of nearly overy representative of the prosont city government, and I balieve my action in his behalf has the approval of nine out of every ten of the tax paying citizons of this city. The city has nothing to gain by the conviction of Col. Chase and if the state law is to be vindicated by his conviction,let the district attorney, if ho can, obtain such conviction. 1i the Roev, Harris wants to compare records I will give him a chance, 1 point with just pride to the fact, that since I have been city attorney not a single judgement in any contested cass has been rendered adverse to the interests of the city. Claims to theamount of over $30,000 have been wiped out of exisi- ence, The entire legal business of the city has been conducted carefully, sucoess- fully and to the satisfaction of the cit; council. Now, will the Rev. Harrls tell us in his next sermon what he has done for Omaha or the church he represents since his advent to this city! Should I have ocoasion to again refer to the Rev. Harris, I shall do so without gloves, and will give his record, past as well as present, & thorough ventilation, W. J.

THE PLATFORM. AS ADOPTED BY THE CONVENTIOX. Chicaco, July 11.—Ths following is the platform The democratic party of the union, throngh its revresentatives in national convention as- sembled, recognizes that, as n nation grows o lder, new issues are born of time and pro gress and old issues perish; but the funda- mental principles of the democracy, approved by the united voicoof the people, remain, and will ever rowmain, as the best and only socu- rity for the continuance of free government. The preservation of personal rights, tho equality of all citizens befora the luw, the re- served rights of the states and the supremacy of the federal government within the limits tution will ever form the trus ba- our liberties can never be surrended without destroying that balance of right and power which cnablos & contineat to be developed in poace and social ordec to be maiotained by means of local self-government. But it is indispersable for the practical application and enforcement of thess fundameutal principles that the govern- ment should not always be controlled by ome political party. Krequent changes of administration ~ are as necessary by constant recurrence to the popular in the company of another girl about her own age to find a place where both might work. They were going down Capitol avenue and near Eleventh were accosted by a colored woman who, having learned by inquiry what they were in search of, importuned them fo take up their abode under her roof, portraying to them the ease and luxury ot such a life with noth- ing to do. One of the girls finally con- sented and remained with the author of her shame for three days. On Wednes- day night an oflicer went to the place in search of her but no one even knew the girl. Last night, however, aftor recetv- ing positive information that she was there tho cflicer rucceded in taking her into custody and left hor in the city jail by direction of her paren‘s. | m— UNION PACIFIC OFFICIALS, The New President of the Union Pa- cific in Omaha, Yesterday the new president of the Union Pacific company, Mr, C, F. Adawms, Jr., Mr, F. L. Ames, managing director, Mr, Oliver Ames, Mr, Hugh Riddle, president ot the Rock lsland road, Mr, 8. R, Calloway, Mr. Adams assistant and Mr. Canfield, private sec- retary to Mr, Adams, arrived in this city and took quarters at the Millard otel, The new president is here to looa into the affairs of the company and make some improvements if such & thing is, in his judgement necessary. There is nodoubt but that there will be a shaking up among the boses in this locality before Mr, Adams takes his departure. A num- ber of the prominent ones are a little un- easy and some of them are rustling about thistime. Mr. Adams doubtless intends to inaugurate a reform and will swing the official ax with a strong hand, e —— 1t is charged in certain quarters that the closing of the gambling houses by the marshal is a piece of splte work in- stigated by Councilman Leeder. We are authorized to state on behalf of Mr, Leeder that ho has had nothing whatever to do with this matter. The marahal has taken the step under instructions from acting mayor Murphy, in response to the law and order league 8o far an Mr. Leeder is concerned he ex- presses his views without reserve. He thinks it is just as difficalt to suppress gambling houses ns it is to suppress houses of ill-fame. He is in favor of restrictions that will aflord reasonable certain hours Mr. Loeder says while he is a friend of Marshal Cummings, the people of protection from cappers and sharps and [willion dollare, which has yearly been col will compel the closing of these places at | lected frum a suffering prople, Omaha will soon discover that Cummings | dustri s, and d will, othorwise abuses grow fand the govern- ment instesd of being carried on for the ven- eral wellfare becomes on instrumentality for imposiog heavy burdens on the many who tys governed for the henefit of the fow who govern.
