To this I will say I am not a cahdidate and never have been; and would not be under any circun~ stances. I realize but too well the hardships imposed on one who fills the position us it should be fillea, and any talk of my eandi- dacy is spread by others than myself. T will say, however, that prominent members of this club and from other wards have assured mo that if I wore a_candidate they would go 10 the convention in my bebalf, but I have said to them nll, ‘No, I am not a candidate,” and no man will say that I acknowledged to him that I was a candidate. “I was Mr, Broateh's friend during my two years in the council. 1stood by him through all his fights, voted for every veto he sent in and was one of the minority that stayed faithfully with him and the police commission during those months of wrang- ling, until the courts had said they were a logul body. { will say for Mr. Broateh’s ad— miuistration, and no man has watched it closer than I, that he "has not done a single uot where s honesty could be qustioned, and if he is defeated in the coming campaign he will turn tho administration over to his successor in better shape than it has ever heen since Omaha was a city. Few men in this room realize what it is to mayor of a city like Omaha. Few men alize how easy it 1s for the vity council to iroad bills through that uever ought to pass, und it not only takes watchfulness and C! to detect their imperfections, but some- times backbone to veto them. Take for in- stance the viaduct ordinanco passed by the councila few weeks ago. It called for the issue of £150,000 in bonds te the Union Pacific as soon as they were voted, not wait- ing until the depot and via- duct were built. Mayor Broatch had stamina enough 10 veto it, notwithstanding the Union Pacific and other powerful inter- ests were urging him to sizn it. “Mayor Broateh has administered the office according to his_interpretation of wiat was just and right. We do not all think alike, I know L have criticised hin on some things, as any 0 has a right to do, but 1t was because he enforced the law too strin- gently and not because he was negligent. Ior instance, the policy pursued by Mr. Broatch towards the saloon keepers, [ think, has been too extremely severe, In thé first pluce he exacted $1,000 license i advance the first of last Junuary. In the second, ne closed thém on Sunday, claiming that be was obeying the law and the demands of the people, neither of which laws did he enforce the first two years of his adminis- tration, when all was harmony, and the great majority of the people perfectly sutisfed. Herotofore they bave been allowed to pay their license quarterly in advance, but the first of last January Mr. Broatch instructed the city clerk to issue no license unless the city received the whole thousand in advance. Now, in my opinion that was & great hard- ship ' to many saloon keepers. If 1t had diminished the number of saloons, then it would have done good by attaining the object sought for, but it did not. Two hundred and sixty-eight saloon keepers paid their $1,000, which was more than the year before. Very fow suloon men have §1,000 in cash on hand, They go to the bank and vorrow it, giving their notes at 10 per cent. interest, and some of them giving & mortgage on their saloons. Now, if this money was needed all at once by the city it would be different, but it is not. Tv goes to the school fund, and is pad out monthly to the teachers and janitors. The city treasurer deposits this money tho next day n the same banks 1t was borrowed from the day before, They then hold the saloon- keepers' notes, arawing 10 per cent interest, and have the money ready to loan out again. Therefore I think the quarterly payment systemn tho more just, because where he pays $1,000 in advance it does no one but the banks any good, and costs him, with inter- est, §1,100, instead of §1,000, and the bank is the instittion that protits.” Here Mr. .Kierstead was mterrupted, Andy Wiggins was there and wanted to ask a question. O. P, Seward also wanted to put in u question. The club took sides, and for a few minutes the uproar was so great that the sveaker’s voice was drowned in the general gabble. Mr, Seward finally made a ‘demand for a temporary chairman, spd M. Lindsay was called to preside. ‘After somo further interruption Mr. Kierstead proceeded: *A8 Lo closing the saloons on Sunday, it 18 but trying to enforce prohibition one day in the weok, and it is absolutely impossible. It simply makes wrangling and contention without accomplishing its object. Men who drink liquor will get it on Sunday as well as on Saturday, 1f they can not buy a single drink in a saloon on Sunday they will buy a botule heforehaund, ana nine times out of ten drink more than they want. It nas been a falure wherever triod, and lost Ohio to the republican party lust week. Governor Foraker, the brainicst man in the state, ono with whose administration no possible fault could be found, was beaten, and the cause of it was the split in the party caused by the mayor of Cincinnati closing the saloons on Sunday. Human nature is alixe the world over. Men will not let others dictate to t"#‘\m what they must do without rebelliog. t o 1n a temperate man mysell and seldom | #¥o a drink, but I think if L were io a pro- nintion town I would be dry all the time. “‘The Ninth ward supported Mr. Broatch 1n the convention before, and I think they will do 8o again, and if he is nominated I hope he will pledge himself before the con- yention to a more liberal policy, and no man in the party will work harder for him thau 1. Let the saloon men pay their licenses quarterly and keep their back doors open Sundays, and hs will be elected by & hand- some majority, It is nov the extreme cranks on either side that coutrol the election, but the veople thut want harmony #nd not continued wrangling and discontent. Don't run Omaha in the interest of Council Bluffs aud Cut-Off lake, Let us keep our money at bhome, Thousands of dollars are taken out of Omaha every Sunday because it can not be spent here. We have a glorious future before us. Lot us pursue polfu_v of peace aud harmony, and vot one of continued strife. Omaba is the galeway to an empire. We areiu the center of the richest agricultural country on earth, and, with & _wise and liberal policy, but a few = years will elapse before Omaha is a city of half a million ‘raoplo. Don't try to make it 8 New England puritanical town, but a broad gauge western city. It is no argument to say it is the law, and must ubsolutely be enforced, because not hulf our laws are strictly en: forced. 1f they were no street carmor rail- ways could be operated on Sunday. The swelting worlks, amplnylnT‘ 900 wen, would have to close, and there uo more legal right to enforce it in one case than the other. I hope the republican party will not euter this mmpl\sn with the battie cry of repub- licanism and the churches on the one side, as against the saloons and democragy on the other. If they do they will down to in- evitable defeat. The object lesson of Iowa before us, where the banner state of all the union has been wrested from the republican party through strife engendered by the liguor question, {3 a lesson 1o sano man can aftord to_ignord.” R. 8.
