HE STANDS ON HIS RECORD. A Reference to Mr, G. W. Lininger's Public Career. FIRST WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB. An Enthusiastic Endorsement of Mr. Lininger, Mr. Rush and tho Other Candidates on the Republican Ticket. Republican Enth A most enthusiastic republican meeting tvas held Iast might at Metz hall on South Tenth streot. The atiendance numbered nbout one thousand and it could easily perceived that it was made up of vrudent, roasoning sons of toil. There were also pres- ent several candidates, among whom were the omnipresent, Ernest Stuht, candidate for councilan of the Wirst ward, Dan O'Keefe of the Second, aud John Rush, candidate for vity treasurer. The gathering was called to order by Charles Elgutter, who maae a very eloquent introductory address after tha Union Pacific band had rende several musical numoers., . Cornish was the first speaker. He sald in effect that the republican party wanted to elect officers who wers opposed to probibition; wao wero in favor of sceuring to every person his personal rights, rights which should be guaranteed until they in- terfered with tho righs of somebody ~else. People who wanted the saloons closed on Sunday should have their feelings respected, but they had no right to deny others the privilege of drinking beer ou tiat day if they Telt 50 dispo Revublicans wanted ofiicors who would recognize the rights of labor, who would considor the question as to whether or not the condition of the laborer could be improved and who would hold that convict before was both wrong and anjurious. ‘Tney wanted oficers who would seo that tne railroad com- {::n,v. to which the city had voted nds on Thursday, when the time came would koep its word with the city; who would make property as valuable i the Third and First wards as it was in the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth or Ninth wards; who ‘would see that there was a certain share of the public money for improvements spent in the wward. All this could be effected more satisfactoriy by voting the republican ticket than in any other way. bge ng of Mr. Lininger on the subject of prohibition, the speaker suid that his hearers could go to Metz Brothers, Krug or Iler and ask them to whom they gave creditin the Jegislature of four years ago- for killing probibition, aud they would bo told that it was Mr. George W. Lininzor, the candidate for mayor. After the bill had sed the house, it had gone to the senate, where there were thirteen senators opposed toit, and where it required seventwen tozkill it.” Mr. Lininger, in an honorable way, induced two of the lutter senators to absent themsolves, and when the bill came up there wero not sufficicat votes to pass it and tho bill consequently was killed. It was aota bill either which simply pro- vided for the submission to the peopie of the question of an amendment to the constitu- vion, but a real probibitory, such as is now in force in lowa. Paxton and Ijams, as two good, reliable and honest men s lived, wore in that same senite last session, and the submission bill passed. Why “was it that thoy, democrats, didn’t kill i, when Lininger, republican, had done so 10 the preceding session! It was simply be- cause they were nowerless witn republicans. Mr. Linuger knew what bill every repub. fayored He had found this out in 18, and with this knowledge he was able in an honorable manner to_keep those two republican prohibitionists from voting for the Dill and therouy killng it. , Repuolicans were opposed- to prohibition on principle, and because of espedicncy. They mighv put up every argument to defeat it, but the place to defeat it wasin the republican party. They had to mve strength to their officers to defeat it. There ‘was no liquor plank in the platform at the Jast convention in Hastings. Why! Be- cause the sixty-nine delegates from Douglas went down tuerc and told the country dele- gates that if they wanted the sapport of ouglas they should not meddle with prohi- bition. That's why probibition is not now talked as it was before. Over in lowa prohibition was ex- periencing & change, and it was mainly because of the utterances of old Samuel Kirkwood, lowa's war gov- ernor, ana later secretary of the interior, who suid he would vote tiic republican ticket because the party bad been good to him, but it was wrong on the question of prohibition, A republican in his own party was powerful, While a republicun out of bLis party was pow- erless, Mr. Lininger had at all times been a friend of the luborer. Mr, Mathieson who served ‘with him and knew the position he had taken on all bills could endorse the assertion, The city was about to bulid & viaduct, They did not want to vote bonds for a via- duet in order to get & depot which would be a sham. They wanted to get a man for nayor who would see that the railroads iept their pledges, Mr. Lininger had expressed himself fairly in acceptance of the nomination for mayor. Hedid not mtend to be elected because of promises or pledges given, He did not expeot o be elected by buying his way in, and that was what was meant o his speech. Mr Lininger hud been a member of the council, he had also been 8 member of the legisla- ture, and he had said truly that if the people wanted to know how he stood or would stand on any question, all they had to do was to examine his record. Mr. Linminger, when a momber of the council, had run the first sewer through the First ward, the first sewer in Omaha, and was today interested in a num- ber of parcels of land in the ward, together wvith the great warehouse of which he was the senior partn The speaker didn't know Mr, Cushing, the democratic candidawe for wmayor, e did ot know anybody who did, Cushing wight be a pretty good man, He presumed he was. But Cushing had made nearly all his mouney out of the B. & M, He might there be considered to bave some friendly interest in the roud. If a question should arise between the city and the B. & M. rewaraing the viaduct for which the bouds were voted yesterday, why perhaps Cushing would not be as good & man as one ‘who was not tied up with the road. The speaker then turned his attention to John Rusb, the candidate for city treasurer, The announcement of the latter's name was received with cheers. Mr. Rush was ad- ___mitted by all to have been a most competeut &nuiur. and oue of the best treasurers aba bad ever had. It had been admitted by a democratic paper that nls management of the oMce hud saved the city $100,000 in his sole of bouds 1n two years. If he nad aone that in his first term he might be expected to do & great doul more in the next one. Ha had never been un advocate of the principle that because a mun wus found competent, ho ought therefore o have his services dis- pensed with, Mr, Rush was infinitely more competent than his competitor, and it would Do poor policy to swap horses when crossio g o streum, Eroest Stubt, the caudidate for council- man from the First, was commended as the most indefatigable worker he ever saw.. ‘There was no new bill before the cou cll, which was & meonce to the ward, that Stult was rot the first to sound the ‘warniug, raise @ meeting and huve the mat- ter discussed. When the motor company lol::hi to secure the right of way across the wviaduct under terms unfavorable to the resi- dents.of that section of the city and the city atself, 1t was Stubt who discovered the mat- ter und took the siteps to prevent it. It was Stubt who graded that part of the ocity, and 1if their property had increasod in value and was one of the beautiful places in the city, it was to be cred- Ited to Stulit. Mr. Cornish closed by enunciating the E\‘lnclpl\:- that republicans favored no prohi- ition, no detective service, but their neigh- bors' welfure and the good of the city at ot irman Mercer of the city central com- initiee made a rousing sveech in which he reviawed all the good points of wie republi- «an candudates. ‘Then the Gate City quartette, colored, sang n an admirable mauser & couple of plauta- Keefo, candidute for councilman of 0d ward, made wn elogueut spoech, supporting all the republican nominees, and setting forth his connection with the cause of labor in this city for the past seventeon years, The meeting adjourned to meet in Forest hall, Sixth and Pacific streets, tonight. - TEL RAILWAY ¥ ERS, Mecting of the Looal Division in Honor of the Grand Chief, Thurston division, No. 9, Order of Railway Telegraphers, held a meeting at _the Paxton hotel last night to welcome A.

The report showed a very bad state of affairs. [n no iustunce, says the report, were the proceeds of the bonds dated January 1, 1888, expended according to the conditions under which thoy were voted. As a result an indebt- edness of over £30,000 more than the amount voted had been incurred in the construction of four school buildiugs. The comptroller was commended for the thoroughness of his work and his report, vo- gether with the recommendations, was adopted.

WHATWANAMAKER REPORTS. More Managers Needed For the Postoffice Department. A LIMITED POSTAL TELEGRAPH. Legislation Asked For the Establis ment of Such a Service—Too Crowded For the Parcel Sys- tem to Be Adopted. The Postmnster's Recommendations, ov. 20.—Postmaster Gen- oral Wanamaker, in his annual report, says: *Ihio postmaster general, with his advent into office and the taking up of the duties of the department, findsthat othor new officers havealso entered the field. The whole organization avthe top is changed and the work falls into untrained hauds., 'Chis con- stant change will continue, but from a busi- ness point thus to unsettle the service can not be beneficial to any deparvment. The postmaster’'s first, second and third assistants haye too much work to attend to, and more officials are needed. A fourth assistant postmaster gen- eral is needed to bo in direct charge of the ruilway muil, foreizn mail, the money order ofice, the registry and supplies divisions and the dead letter ofice. A general man- ager, one of the best educated postal men in the service, is ulso needed, a man charged with the g gement of the service, whose controlling grasp should remuin while others come und go; also a general secrotary to whom should be re- ferred ~ ull plans of improvemont —a man whose business capacity and authority would bring about reforms at once without the usual delays, sometimes of months, existing under the present cumber- somo and antiguated methods.” OF the proposed limied postal telegraph service, which the postmaster general hoped to have outhed in this report for cong ress to consider, he says: ‘1 confess to disappointment that the ne- goviations with the Western Union tele- graph company did not lead to the scheme which I hoped to submit whereby the people at large could have the benefit of the tele- graphic service at popular rates. 1t is stated that merchants, bankers and newspapers are now the princinal customers of telegraph companies. With u lower telegraphic rate and with stations at the windows of the post- offices an entirely new class of business would grow up, affording great convenience to many not now in the hubit of using the wires."” “Uhe great propriety and advantage of a united service cannot be ques- tionea from the pomnt of convenience and economy to the people, There is no rea- son whatever why the night messages of telegraph companies should not be delivered as postal matter by the first morning deliv- ory cavriers. This is properly postofiice business and would add to tue protits of tne department. The vast network of wires cov— ering the country could easily reach muny of the village postoffices and would bevefit more people than by stopping at railroad stations, which are often a mile or more distant from where the people live. An experiment could be easily and quickly made to ascertain whether the demand for a cheaper telegraph service exists as is claimed. It could be done without any outlay of mouey by the government and with no interference with the existing telepraph interests, inas-, much s 1t would create, as stated, a new class of business.” He usks for legislation to bring abont the establishment of such a limited postal tele- graph service, On the Sunday mail service the postmnas- ter general says ho will make use of all the minimizing of postofiice work on Sunday, be- cause he believes the government should, as far us possible, muke no requirements which will prohibit its employes from enjoving a day of rest. ‘The postmaster - general does not favor the extension of the parcel post system. All the postoftice buildings are overcrowded and could not make space tor an enlurged pack- age business. When ‘the postal service is carried nearer to the point where thore is an excess of revenus this business can be con- sidered. Of the lotteries and the mails he suggests a law for jurisdiction over the offense by the courts atthe vftices of delivery, the same as at the mailing offices, thus making the offense continuous between the office of mail- g and that of delivery and enlarging the opportunity to convict. He also recommends an smenament, to the postal laws which will permit the mailng of works of fiction as second class matter. In the special topics discussed by the post- master general he recommends a double postal card for return answers, the estab- lishment of a postal museum and the prompt delivery of all letters on which the postage is not prepaid and to collect double vostage. Touching the civil service the report runs thus: *“The postal department has an indi- viduality of itsown. The ordinary good clerk of the government mizht suit perfectly well in any other of the civil places, but for postoftice work he must almost learn'a trade, There ought to be a kind of apvrenticeship with promotion. With 150,000 employes rightly selected, who feel a proper pride in representing the government and are alive every duy to improvement, the postal service would soon become the best in the worla.” ‘The report recomnmends that larger discre- uon be given for making contracts for carry- ing foreign mails with American registered vessels, 1t is recommended that all places of a pop- ulation of not less than 5,000, or where the postofiice has shown agross revenue of $7,000 for the previous fiscal year, shall have. the benefitof the free delivery system. An early consideration is suggested on the question of establishing postal saviugs banks at 10,000 of the fourth class offices 1n towns where such facilities are most needed, leav- ing the extension of the privilege to be deter- mined after a trial of two veurs. Regarding 1 cent postage the report says that if introduced tomorrow it would red uce the revenue by nearly $15,000,000, and the department is not ready for this ‘while the present deficiency ex R HAZEN'S SHOWING. The Special Delivery Service Shows a Surplus. WasiuiNGgroN, Nov. 20.—Third Assistant Postmaster Goneral Hazen in his aunual re- port shows the total revenues of the postal servica for the last fiscal year to be $56,148,014.

The Antieam, Juniata, Pilgrim and Quinnebaug have been condemned and ordered sold for from §500 to $10,000 and 8500 to §15,000, respectively.
