A recess of fift minutes was thercfore taken, and during the interim Poppleton, Kimball, Vander: voort, Rothacker, Morrissey and the rest of that ilk were making themselves con- apicuons in the hall consulting each other and instrueting their strikers how to @ Meantime the hall v to il up with well known property-owners, merchants and taxpaying workingmen. Before the fifteen minutes were up dis- sussion on the charter was begun. Calls were made for A, J. Poppleton, who re- sponded by saying that he did not eall he meeting, had no instrumentality in Hing it, and did not know who did call He preferred to keep silence until he acard from those who did eall it. 0. . Rothacker now moved that the bill pend ing before the senate be read, clause by slause, and cach clause acted’ upon. 1. 5. Haseall objeeted to this, as it would block the proceedings of the whole mect- ng. Time ought to be given to ditferent | to speak, sad he, and | wholly unnecesar consider the section by as its proyisions w well understood, and he thought the r 1 would he to discuss the sections over which difler- ences of opinion had arisen. Rothacker rephed that the objeet to discuss the charte 1d to properly discuss it the document should be section by see- ton. W. V. Morse sa 3 sections which to discuss, and it struc neand M the sections i which particularly interested 48 an_amendmcat, Hascall Mr. Andrew Rosewate consideration of the points Hascall, particularly those on 104, referring to the bo: lic works. He stigm: of the Herald concernin s and the provisions of section 101 falschoods, He desired to show th sharges made were wholly untrue and let the public understand where the charter difiered from the new 104, he continued, was the vi ment in the chartee. It provides for the appointmentof the board of public works., The Herald kad said that it takes the power out of the hi md«()l the mayor and council to control the bozrd, whereas the et is it provides (Il\l. the mayor and city couneil shall control the board to a extent than under the present him that Connell should eite the public were He offered that onded by Mr. Ivocated the Mr. Morrlssey replied, in that under the present city board of public works is Alll\N)lhhn[ by the mayor and composed of three mem- bers. Under that charter as it stands we ¢ had the Targest amount of improy ments done in the city of O known in its history.” And eve has been expended to the entire tion of all the eitizens so far known. he committee of fifteen undertakes to alter th seetion and put upon that board the city engineer, street commis- sior nd two others, [believe; the eity attorney and park commissioner s one and the superintendent of buildings an other. Mr, I, Rosewater now got the floor, and in reply to Mr, Morrissey, wanted to know if the audienee considered atself competent to delveinto the middle of the charter and take a vital section out of it, and say to th rgation at Lincoln that Sthere s the amendment as they wished it to be.” He then stated the object of the meeting to be to ascertain whether the changes made to the eharter since 1t wus sent in by the committee of fifteen are satisfactory to the people of this city. U you p to-might,” said he, *‘to tear up this charter from one end to the other you will have to stand twenty- soven nights in discussing it for the rea- son that twenty-seven days were con- sumea by the commnttee of fifteen i vre- ng it. It seemis to me that this meet- is to aid the delegation to an und standing of what their duty s, Then you shotild come forward and aid it - telligently, — * 1 waus one of the committee of fifteen, but by n,, ealled away from the city, 1 only took part in three meetings, and had httle to du with the bulk of the’ charter.” A voice—You waited until they got to Lincoln, Rosewator word to the discuss \'rl‘ll' y dollar satis Yes, but I did not say one slegation at Lincoln. The ns that were held at Lincoln wted 1in wholly by the dele- Mr. Connell Not one word by But that does not matter, Gendemen have gone down to Lincoln who do not own one dollar’s worth of mupn-rl,\- and s making eflorts to de feat this charter, and for no reason but that somebody las hired them to do it. ‘I'his is the time and place to discuss the amendment we want, but if you under- o0 tear this charter to ‘picces you might as well say to the delegation that they might as well giye it up. Morrissey at this juncture mterrupted the speaker on a pant of order, as not coutining himselt to the question. Mr. Poppleton thercupon spoke sub- stantinlly as follows: *1f 1 understand the question that is before this meeting it is w\n ther we shall take up the charter section by section or not. HI has been suid that this meeting is ealled exclu- sively for the purpose of considering these points in which the charter was changed after it ieft the hands of the committee. I do not understand the meeting to have been cailed tor that pur- poso at all it was, the call for t was b cd ana’ badly con structed. o were eailed to gether for th pose of considering this clartc 00 tne’question to whether t slion or not.

A sppleton was applavded by his ilroad admirers at this point, and as noise subsided Rosewater re. “That is false; present when the of how the printing was to be came up.”’ The railvoad gan, rown his voice by shouts, but when Iu“v.‘r on arose to reply they subsided alls were made for Rosewater, called Poppleton to order » would 1i to have some other m he com- mittee speak on that Poppleton—I am not yet. 1 said the only t was one day when th Rosew Poppl Rosew endeavored with you I ever saw you in me you ter—I was not t!

[ don’t pro- pose to get excited The crowd langhed heart rely seem a man g0 Povpleton was at this limax. Mr. Poppleton continued his remarks at some length, and finally there were 1o question Mr. Rosewater got the floor and said ‘1 only want to say one word, Had the gentleman not referred to me personally would not have interrupted him, but 1 never allow a man to state a fulsehood about me without denying it. I never at- tended th mecting when the printing subject was discussed. I wonld ask Mr. Poppleton why he requested the de - tion to stand by the charter as the com- mittee had framed it, with the exeception of two or three changes. He 1s on record on this question. He sent this nest down to Lincoln h is n matterof record I want him tosay to this audience why | he has changed his mind in this matter, This caused an outburst of the andy ence, and when the confusion had sub- sided Mr. A Rose or id somebody would have to sta ¢ ball rolling. He wanted to refute the statement of the Herald that under the new charter the appointive power was taken away from the mayor and council. T or had plainly stated an unteath e under the new charier every member of that board is apponted by the mayor.

Now, 1 propose to stand and face this audience and read’'- ey—"1 did not state thatthe ap- pointive power was taken out of the hands of the 1 T A. Rosewate You have falsified this charter from beginning to end.” Here it was decided that Mr. W. V. ppointed sceretary to tehing the for they excited Morse shionld be rewd seetion 104, After the reading Mr. Rosewater said that this provision originated with James A. Creighiton, who was 2 member of the committee of fitteen, Then he explamed why the city, in his opinion, must have something different from the present charter, as follows: In the eity of St. Louis the board of public works consists entirely of the en Lunv ring department, the head of the sewer department, the head of the water- works artinent, the head of the strec department and the head of the park de- purtment, and a chief engineer over them Al The president of this ar has been president for many agminst which not a single word been uttered during all the time it has existed. Why? Beeause, ized as it 15 of men who are qualified conversant with all the detals of department, when a plan 1s to be posed for asewer, the ehief ¢ charge, the engineer of the the eng engine ) there. If that plan arc there to interp The board of engincers to find out whether thereis any those plans, and 1t cannot L nid those five were in hoots with *h other. What reason have you to behieve that the five men would go into a com- pact for the purpose of defrauding the public? The charter has worked very \wll up to this time. Now, in the pres- cter as it oxists, the dutics u] the, engineer and the dutics of the chairman of public work co-ordinate, they are co-ordinate officers, and if they differ in opinion, why, the engineer orders the work done one way and the chairman the board of public works another w: ie contractor is left in a dilemma. Let us see how this check is made; how the estimates produced under present afla engincer makes an estimate; itis endorsed on the back by the cha n of the board oi publie orks; it comes before the council for approval; no body has looked into it, beeause the board hus not been out, Of this board of three there is only one an tell one-third of the public'works to-day., The board in fact consists of one man, and- the public is deceived in the | lief thut there are three men who preside over the public aflairs of the city of Omaha 1 made that charge once before when there was an abler body, I believe, than the men who compose the board to-day, 1 made & public challenge to one of the members to come bef the public and name one-half of the works that were going on at that time, Ihey were a great deal less than they are now; he could not do it. There is a check on the engineer's department, and it is this way: Du the summcr the en gineer had ||un) two men an his employ. Men on sewer worke men on bridge work, men on street work, men in every department. lnw- men weasure this work, as the engineers cannot do it Men a lIll]llu_\u] in the oflices to compute, and there is a thor ough system of ehecking in the oflices.

They look over this work: do they know whether it measures 800 yards? they huve to tage the engineer's word for i 1 say that eheek now exists in the engineer's department, It is said that there 15 a provision to put the city engincer on the board of public works This 1s not trus So far as I amcon cerned [ have ceased to go on the theory that a public servant i a public slave. is not s heggar.

Mr. Connell suceeeded in floor and s bon't let us los the real bone of contention.

The question then by s house was to substitute the old acter in that particular for the new. wn Lsud L would like to show you what the result would be by taking that action. If this proposed charter is r l(,x n_ we must stand on the old ch wu the Lincoln charter. At this ;w-m( Mr. Connell was ealled to order, Vahiog voort—Will you read the ns of the Lincoln charter giving of povulations.

Mr. Connell, how- ever, contmued and said: “The purpose is not to defeat tins particnlar section but th entire — charter, Now, I have a right to show what changes were made.
