The combine furnished the ammunitionin the form of fat printing jobs. —_— HAVE not the [ hised corporations received every public privilege they asked for? Do they want a perpetual mortgage on the city government, WHEN Wheeler was treasurer of lodge No. 1043 K. of H. at Plattsmouth, its charter had to be surrendered. ‘Wheeler's investigation was hushed up. D —— THE fool friends of Tim Conway are pushing that young man to ruination. His worst enemy could not do him a greater injury than to elect him to the council, — THE republicans of the Third ward should stand firmly by Sol Prince, the council nominee, who is in every way qualified for the place and entitled to their support. —_— WHEN candidates for the squander ayear'’s salary to eapture the primaries and a like amount on election day, it does not follow that they will work for two years for glor: —— THE s11k stocking organ of the democ- racy deserts the party and joins the council boodlers. 1t is a dreary duy that We, Us & Co. cannot swing the jackass battery to suit its jobs. council als out of the council, whether their names begin with an H like our old acquaintance, Hascall, or a W, the “Watch doe.” ci. with 'a D, which stands for Duplicity Davis, MR. MELVILLE REDFIELD is a young man deserving the active and undivided support of republicans in the Second ward, Heis no ringster, and will have no part with corrupt scheraes and hood lers. —_— WIHEELER’S insurance business,thanks to his industry in the council,has reached a point requiring his entire time,and the voters of the Fourth ward will sée to it that his so-called “sacrifice for the pub- lic” are brought to a sharp close, — BIRKHAUSER is openly working for Chaflee, and he will vote for him and against tho candidate of his own party, and s0 will Major Dennisandall the other tax-eating cormorants of the domocratic persuasion thatlivein the Seventh ward. CONGRESSMAN LODGE proposes a rad- feal restriction and regulation of immi- gration. In the light of his radically reduced majority, Mr. Lodge could em- ploy his time more vrofitably in devis- ing measures that will reunite the re- publicans of his district, —_— THE Fourth ward contains more than an average number of offico employes. Yet Wheeler ignored this vast con- stituency and imported from Platts- moutha family pet to work on the tax list at fifty conts an hour, As the major went to Plattsmouth for a copyist, the clerieal voters of tho ward should invite him to go to Plattsmouth for his votes, —— MR, QUEALEY’S decp interest in Chaffeo has cost thetaxpayoers of Omaha about one thousand dollars, At that rate Mr. Quealy can afford to putin soveral days as partial judge without pay. The vowrs of the Seventh ward on whom forced contributions have been levied to pay Chaffee’s political debts will hardly feel like endorsing Chaflee’s business methods. Tue desperate fight which Is being made by the favored corporations for Davis, Chaffee and W heoler can only be interpreted to mean one of two things. These corporations are either trying to pay off faithless and dishonest men for doing work inimical to the interests of the taxpaying citizens or else they have schemes of plunder in view to which the triumvirate has mortgaged itself soul and body to put through, Possibly botl. N | and encouraging to the country THE PHSSIDENT'S MESSAGE. The secon! annual message of Presi- dent Harrises is & comprehensive re- viewof the uffairs of the government during the past year, It ls pervaded by oxpressions of satisfaction with existing conditions which ought to be reassuring Its opinions are intelligent and thoughtful, and its recommendations generally sound and judicious, Ina word, it is a candid, straightforward presentation of facts, views and suggestions which ought to receive the attention of every citizen, and which are made in a spirit that should command general respect. The president refers at the outset to the success of the administration in transacting the vast business of the gov- ernment 50 a8 to have almost wholly es- caped unfavorable eriticlsm, fidelity and integrity marking to an exceptional de- gree the operations of every department, forall of which the creditis given to the chiefs of departments and the faithful officers and employes under them. [tis a signal tribute which is thus paid to all connceted with the administration of the busir rnment, and the popular judgment will not fail to accord to the chief executive his full share of credit for the honorable record of faith- ful and honest performance of duty. By reason both of example and influence he is entitled to alarge measure of the honor, Passing over the review of our relations with foreign powers, which are universally friendly, and the refe ences to the several depurtment mports, the recommendations of which are concurrved in, the president says of the new silver law that some months of further trial will be necessary to de mine the permanent effect of the leg lation upon silver values, but he veg: it as gratifying that the increased ¢ lation securved by the act has and will continue to exert a beneficial influence upoa business and general val- ues. While it has not been tho hest to seek an international conf regarding silver, the situation abroad has been carefully observed and no fav- orable opportunity will be lost to pro- mote a full use of silver among the no tions for coinageat & uniform ratio. re-examination of opinions on this joct the president thinks is not unli to be the r monetary sturbances in land, and if our large supply of gold is not lost in impulsive legislation in the supposed interest of silver we shall be in a position of advantage in promoting a permanent and safe international agr ment for the free use of silver as a coin metal. In this the president clearly im- plies that he does not 5 Regarding the new tariff law the presi- dent is distinetly in line with those who believe it should not be interfered with at the present session of congress. He declares that there is neither wisdom nor justice in the suggestion that the subject of tariff revision shall be opened before the law has had a fair trial and expresses the opiniop that “it will justify the support of” those who be- lieve that American legislation should conserve and defend American trade and the wages of American workmen.” The whole argument of the president is divected againstany changes in the law at present, and 1t is entirely safe to predict that his views will be sustained by the majority in congres Approval is given to the reciprocity clause of the taviff act, and the right of the nation is maintained to malke special reciprocal trade concessions, which 1t held does not impair either the comit due to other powers or what is known as the favored nation clause of inters tional treaties, Regarding this much discussed question, the president holds that what is given to one nation for an adequate, ngreed consideration, cannot be claimed b, nother freely. It is stated that the indications thus far giver LI ravorable action by the countries from which we receive our large imports of coffee and sugar are very hopeful, and it is believed that if steam communication with those coun- tries can be promptly improved and en- larged the next year will show a most gratifying incrense in our exports of breadstuffs and provisions, as well as of some important lines of manufactured oods. The president makes an argument for the “*development of tho existing law providing for federal supervision of congressional elections,” from which it is to bo infefred that he would approve the election bill which has passed the house and is now inthe senate. The passage of an apportionment bill at the present session is recommended, and also legislation for the development of American steamship lines, for the relief of the supreme court, for affording copyvight pro- tection to foreign authors, for requiring railroads engaged in interstate com- merce to use uniformly the safest train appliances, for enabling tne postofice department to test by experiment the advantages of apostal telegraph system, and for' securing a national bankrupt law. The message concludes with a proper and perhaps necossary admoni- tion to congress to exercise cave in the preparation of appropriation bills and not to waste the brief time remaining for the consideration of important legis- lation, THE THREE Pl CUTED COUNCILMEN Mr. D. H. Wheeler in the Fourth w My, Chaffee in the Seventh and Mr. Dayis the Ninth, bave earned by their faithful intelligent seyvice of the people in the council a return to that body. lhey are the republicans and have the re- publican nominations in the wards named. Ordinarily they would be elected, as their wards are republican, Because they havere- fused to become the tools of the editor of Tig Bek he has commenceg and is carrying on a furious fight against them, The usual vitu- peration and insanely bitter denunciation are employed to blacken their characters and de- feat them, It would beunfortunate if any man, whether editor or party boss, should be allowed to drive from the council faithful servants of the people, merely because they had refused to surrender theirmanhood and independence of action at his dictation, It is quite likely, therefore, that taxpayers, workingmen and thoughtful voters generally, regardless of party, will largely give their support to these three men who have been the leadiug spirits in the present council and who are known to be men of intelligenco and good character in the business world, — World-Herald, The mask has at last dropped and Mr, sub- ely ent | copted THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1800. Hitchoock exhibits himself to the peo- ple of Omaha in his true light—as the champion of jobbers and corporation tools and as the mainstay of the conspir- ators who have for the last twelve months carried on their bold and un- srupulous machinations with boodlers, contractors and dishonest city bfticials, He has tho impudence to endorse ns faithful servants men who have not only betrayed every trust, but have foisted upon Omaha the star-chamber and Tammany methods. Persecuted, indeed! S0 have burglars, pickpockets and foot- pads been persecuted by the police. So were Tweed and his gang persecuted by the papers and law officers of New York who brought them to justice, So were McGarigle and the Chicago boodlers persecuted by the citizens' committee of Chicago which drove them from power and sent several of them to the peniten- tiary and Canada 4 What did this gang ever refuse to do for Tne BEE? Only two weeks ago they made proposals to tho editor of this paper, through one of Chaflee’s most ardent supporters, who is con- nected with paving and sidewalk con- tracts, to do anything he wanted and work with him politically and withdraw their “libel suits providing Tne Beg would drop the fight and remain neutral during the city campaign. It is hardly necessary tosay this tempting offer of friendship and good will was not ac- THE BER hasno axe to grind with councilmen, It has no interest in the council excepting such as it has in com- mon with all other citizens and tax- payers., The most charitable construction that can bemade of Hitcheock’s collusion with and support of the leaders of the combine gang is his insune ambition to antagonize Tne BEE and his idiotic no- tion that he can only succeed by block- ing every measure which Tur Bee ad- vocates, And this policy he has pursusd ever since he inherited his paper, rezardless of public welf rardloss of common decenc; The scandalous and lawless manner in which large numbers of republicans were disfranchised at the Seventh ward prim- ary has aroused o great deal of resent- ment, not only among supporters of M. L. Roeder, but among republicans who were not very partial to that gentle- man, The only fitting rebuke that can be administered to Chaffee and his hench- men is to repudiate his fraudulent nomi- nation. This can be done effectively by rallying to Mr. Roeder’s support and defeating Chaffee at the election. Mr. Roeder is a republican and was ioyal to the purty when Chaffee joined the conspiracy hatched and carrvied out by the Twenty-eight club. Nobody can question My, Roeder’s ability to repre- sent the ward. He is an energetic, enterorising and publi ed citizen with an ambition to gain prominence in political life, He has made some por- sonal cnemies by his persistency, but it takes a man of great persistence and backbone to fight down such a combina- tion as has been at the back of Chaffee. The only way to doup the combine is to beat it now and keep it under the po- litical sod. In the language of a groat Indian fighter *a dead Indian is a good Indian.” Tue prosperity of Omaha workingmen rests on the up-building of home indu tries. “Patronize home institutions’ is the slogan of every well managed labor organization, because it means steady employment for workingmen, and neces- sarily the ability to meet their obliga- tions and provide the essential comforts of home life, ~ This principle should be rigidly upheld with regard to public It is an outrage to send abroad any part of the taxes paid by Omaha property owner It is an insult to workingmen and an outrage on mer- chants who are fully capable of supply- ing the needs of the city in any depart- ment. I3ut the combine controlling the affairs of che city have ignored Omaha bidders and given contracts to foreigns firms, thus depriving local merchants of business which legitimately belongs to them, and robbing Omaha workin, for the benefit of Chicago. he out- raged taxpayers ave in honor bound to resent at the polls this scoundrelly be- trayal of local interests, ED O’CONNOR'S anxiety forrenomina- tion caused him to rip open the bag and let out the combine cat. *‘Iam in the hole thirty-five hundred,” he said to his followers in the Fifth, **and if I can get back to the council I will square up ac- countd®and come out ahead.” O Connor knows what the combine can do. If he, as a passive member of the gang, could squeeze out thirty-five hundred in two years, in addition to campaign expenses, It is uppurent that the leadors would easily double the sum. The revelations of the defunct combiner should rouse every taxpayer to a sense of his duty and provoke a stovm of indignation which will drive the corruptionists from power THE report of bang clearings for the last week of November is but a repeti- tion of preceding weeks and months, The tendency is upward and onward. The volume of business as reflected by the transactions of the banks is practi- cally unaffected by the recent specula- tive raid and consequent failures of brok- ersanda few wild-cat banks, The in- difference of legitimate business to the machinations of stock gamblers is one of the gratifying evidences of national strength. The country has reached the point where its commercial foundations cannot be shaken by the wiid yells of the lambshearers of Wall street, —— THE assertion frequently made that the public domain in Nebraska is ex- hausted is not borne out by the facts. The land department reports 11,226,584 acres of vacant government land in the state. In other words there are 140,332 farms of eighty acres each, or 70,162 farms of one hundred and sixty acres each, which settlers can secure for a song. THEoutrages perpetrated at both dem- ocratic and republican primaries ab- solve party men from any obligation to support the nominees. In all wards where the eouncil combine concentrated 1 its gangs, the Jegal voters were over- whelmed by nen-vesidents, the law ig- nored by the tasis omployed as judees and clerks, repditing and ballot-box stuf- fing openly practiced and the witl of the peopleoverturped, Under such circum- stances, every honest citizen and tax- payer is in duty bound to vigorously re- ent the scandulous assaults on the pu- rity of primaries and work for the eleo- tion of decent men'to the council. — ALL things being equal home institu- tions are entitled to precedence in the award of publi¢ contracts, But Davis, ‘Wheeler and Chaffeo, who engineer the city hall work, do not believe in home institutions only,so far as they subserve their personal gain. The trickery shown in rejecting Plumber Rowe's bid, although the lowest, and the division of the work between Davis’ man Friday and a Chicago firm, was the most shame- less specimen of favoritism shown in the city hall job since the selection of the architect’s plans, THE franchised corporationsof Omaha are deaf to the lessonsof experienc Instead of uniting with property owners having the interest of the city at heart, they selfishly combine with the hoodle elements and follow the tactics which precipitated in othor states vigorous restrictive laws against corporations. Similar acts of reprisal will follow in Omaha if the corporations persist in their efforls to foist corrupt officials on the public. EVERY hono ican owes it ty to actively as sist in driving from oftice the infamous combine, which not only basely betrayed the party for democratic money, but multiplied texeaters, dictated the ap- pointment of disreputable and incompe- tent officials, encouraged and sanctioned jobbery in public works, and squandered public moneys for the benefit of an oath- bound political club.

How did they find that out with all the tickets already counted the evening previous and tmmedi ately destroyed by .being burnt up in the stove in the presence of both candidates and their friends! What right bad the city con tral committeo to meet and interfore with a watter already settied! Too thin, Tom. You had better stick to vour first vesolution and run independent and declare yourself a third-termer, That certificate is A fraud and won't hold water There is a strong feeling against third tern candidates, and when you didn’t make it with all your available machinery at the primarics you can’t make it at the polls tomorrow Learn to be a man, Tom, and submit to the in evitable. Your friends are bragging on tho strect corners that if it takes §10,000 you are bound to win. Kennedy will beat you with only the expenso of printing the’ tickets Your boast about all you have done for the ward is moonshine. You have done good work for Lowry in the council for four years.
