= )JBER 20 1884, ~MONDAY OCT( " CHARLES H. BROWN A Hen Wioom the People Can Safely Trost. ator V n:v“’_\vk'l‘ayu a High Com- pliment to Our Next Oon. gressman, Meeting Senator Van Wyck at the U. P. depot Sunday morning on his way home from Butler county, a reportor of Tue Bee ventured to pump the senator about his relations to Congressman Weaver and his opponent. Reporter—What did you say about Charles Brown at Falls City, Senator? Van.—I suppose the papers have al- roady told you. Rep —Yes, but there have been differ- ent statements. Van.—Well, let it go at that; give us A rest. Rep.—Do you know what the Journal Baya! n.—I do not, and care less. Rep.—It says you go for Weaver be- cause you don’t like Brown, Van,—I don't like Brown? 80?7 Rep.—The Journal, Van.—What the Journal at, Lincoln? ‘Who runs that concern now? Rep.—Geore. Van.—What, Gere the funny fellow— always an amoosin’ cuss—you can never tell whether he is joking or in earnest. 1 remember some years ago he edited that paper, butitsa long time since I Aheard of him, Supposed he was dead and and buried, You know he used to be very bilious and dyspoptic. Pshaw, what's the use paying any attention to what he says. That paper cant have much circulation, You seldom see it any where, besides no body pretends to believe what it says. Neverknow when it is romancing or telling the truth. Don’t bother about what he says. Rep. But he says you dislike Brown. Van. Well, everybody knows botter than that. 1 have always respected and admired Charlie Brown, There is no better man in the state in ability and in- tegrity. When I cannot speak truthfully of such men as Brown [ will go out of politics. This idea of abusing a man be- cause he does not think as you do is in- famous. It is usually indulged in by such small-souled fellows as Gere. If Gere ever knows the right side of any- thing and has moral force enough to tell the truth, he knows I have always had the highest regard for Brown, He knows when in the ecnate that Brown and myself generally wereside by side on questions affecting the people of the state—particularly on ali questions when the Journal company were endeav- oring to swindle the state. He knew we worked together in the attompt to save the state from the fraudulent contracts of that concern. I don’t think Gere ‘wants any bill of particulars of this mat- ter. itep.—Do you remember when the at- ‘tempt was made to repeal the usury laws of the state? Van.—I should think so; can never Torget it. Rep.—Was Brown in the senate with you? ‘Van.—Fortunately for the people of the state he was. TRep.—What was his attitude? Van,—He did more than any man to prevent the repeal. Rep.—What were the circumstances? Van.- Yes, yes; I suppose so. You don’t know very few of the people did. There was a strong lobby of the money interest to repeal the usury laws. Both branches of the legislature had been elected by men who want to loan monsy but as wusual the money loaners, the Shylocks, the cent per cent men soon owned nearly a majority. We had a square fight in the senate on the bill and beat the repealers, then on the last day of the session came up a bill which had passed the house, in which was a section intended to repeal the usury laws. The scheme was, however, detected and ex- posed, discussion ensued, a vote was taken as adjournment was had for supper. The result was the bill lacked only one vote fora constitutional majority, when Mr. Thomas Kennard, who was a repealer, «changed his vote so he could move a re- consideration. Only one vote needed to repeal the usury law, the crisis was alarming and exciting. The legislature was to adjourn at midnight. When we met after supper muchjto our surprise Mr. Kennard did not move a reconsideration but one of our men had been prevailod upon to do that. This vote would have blotted out the usury laws. That rendered the conflict more exciting and the only thing left to protect the people was to’prevent a final voto on the bill by talking against time. That ‘was soon doue and Mr, Brown, Mr. Am- brose and myself concluded we could do justice to the aubject at least until the hour of adjournment. Fortu- nately it was discovered that the appro- priation bill had not passed: Where was the Journal and some other patriots with- out an appropriation bill? They came proposing that if we would discontinue our remarks they would not press the re- peal. We did and this saved to the state the protection the laws give us, No, no, Gere knows better. Ialways admir- ed Charley Brown, on questions affecting the interests of the people he was always right. Rep. Who was the man the shylocks got away from you? Van. No matter he is not running for -office.

Itemiized Roview of Past Events and Future Dates in Both Parties, REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES, At ita meeting Saturday afternoon, the county republican central committe de- cided to hold primaries Friday next, in tho city botween b and 7 o'clock p. m., and in the country precincts from 6 to 9 p. m. Monday next was selected as the date for the convention, which will be held at Blaine and Logan headquarters, DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES, The democrats hold their primaries to-day, regulated by the same time schedule adopted by the republicans. Their convention is held to-morrow in the city hall at 2 o’clock p. m. COLORED REPUBLICANS, Saturday night the colored republicans of this city held a mass meeting in their own hall in Lytle’s block for the purpose of adopting measures for securing colored representation on the republican legls- lative ticket. J. Williams, calling the meeting to or- der, was succeeded by E. 8. Clenlans as chairman, A. H. Willis belng the ap- pointed secretary. Dr. W. H. O, Stevenson on the third ballot was nominated for representative. A committee of seven were appointed to draft a petition to the republican county convention, setting forth the advantage of colored representative and expressing the unanimous desire of that element in Omaha for that end. The meeting was of the most orderly character and the deliberations dignified and well balanced. Several enthusiastic and eloquent speech- es wero madeby the colored leaders pres- ent and loyal expressions were hoard on every hand. CAMPAIGN TOCALETS, Hon, “Phil” McShane is the operating grand marshal of the unterrified forces in their demonstration to-morrow night. An interesting feature of to-morrow evening’s bourbon display will be a corps of 100 mounted *first vote” youths. The young men have made elaborate preparations, and with Mr. W, H. Crary, of the Merchants’ National bank, in command, promise an excellont showing of American young manhood. A grand torchlight parade of raga- mufline and street arabs on Twelfth street Iast night betrayed the present location of many of the missing republican club torches. The executive committee or some other body or party vested with power should securs the assistance of the police to recover these stolen torches at the next juvenile demonstration. The local democrats who particlpated in Saturday night's blow-out in Council Bluffs marched with amazingly regular tread on the way up from the depot when returning home. This perhaps indicates that the staying qualities of some of the particlpants aptly befits them for Bourbon afliliations. A number of nervous-ranguine demo- crats are oftering rash bets that to-mor- row night's “pow-wow” will exceed in point of numbers and pageantry the republican demonstration of Thursday night, There will consequently be some oresty fallen n-s d's hen the facts reveal the t ue situation. e —— Bchool work at New Orleans, Superintendent Jones has issued cir- culars in respect to Nebraska's showing in public school work at the world's fair at New Orleans. Ho says: The work of the children of the state is of highest importance, and should oc- cupy the most prominent place.

Mr. Pechtel, who personated the role of Breschenberg, enacted his part excel- lently and was several times recalled. The charming Miss Spahn appeared as Amalie and was well received, while Mr. Molchin, as Herr Von Sturmfeder, received quite an ovation. The character of Madinger fell to the lot of Mr. Puls, who made the most of the role and Mr. Lindemann as Rolch- enbruecken made the most of the part possible. Mrs. Pals-Ahl, as Nettie, played very prettily and earned a well deserved encore. Mra. Buesser, who is rapidly galning the favor of the frequenters of German theater, made a highly creditable Mrs. Reichenbruecken, and Mr, Meyer, as Dotter, the lawyer, did fairly well. Taken as a whole, tho performance was an eminently successful one, and was evidently much enjoyed by the audience, e —— PERSUNALS, S. O, Sample, the hatter, went oast yester day. T". 7.
