Theso gentlemen are working havd ou the 1502 encampment, and are trylng to decide on the best time of tho year in which to hold the encampment. They are looking about for the most desirable grounds on which t ¢ the same, Cuptain Mulford says, “this will bo the first national encampment that Omaha has ever had,and it will undoubtedly be the lurgest encampment of the kind evor held in the United States. We expect to have at the least one hundred of the crack wili companies of the states here, any as many of theso companies are now driiling up for the Owaha cncampment, some beautiful drills may be expeceted.’” Some of the compunies that have ex- prossed a desire to be in Omaha in 1302, and that the Omaha guards met on bloodless fields at Indianapolis, have quite a record as prize-winners, and o few words about them may be found of in- terost. “'he Branch guards of St. Touis, ( C.

Speuking of Senator Meiklejohn as a candidate for supreme judge, he said: “Mr. Meiklejohn will rot accept the nom- ination for suprome judge. Heo doesn’t want it. Neither does he want the nomination for governor. He doesn't want the nomination for auy office except thut of congressman. 1 had a talk with him the other day and he told mo that if he couldn’v get the nomina- tion to_corgress he wouldu't accept any.

Daily, chief clerk in the oftice of the superintendent of motive power at the Union Pacific shops, was called to the remarks made by John Quinn, chawman of the meeting held in the interestof the eight-hourlaw Monday night, to the effect that & notice had been posted in the shops directing all men who wanted to work eight hours to apply to their foremen. Mr. Quinn also remarked that this meant dis- charge for any man brave enough to speak for the new movement. Mr. Daily was asked what truth, if any, was contuioed Mr. Quinn’s statement. “Such a notice was posted,” replied Mr. Daily, “as we wanted to know just what the men wanted. It makes no difference to the company whether the men work eight hours or nine and one-half. They are all paid by the -hour and have been for some time, If they want to work eight hours there would be no objection made. Not a single man has made application to have the hours cut down. Iven the men who were down at Lincoin last wiater lobbying in the interest of this law have not applied to have their hours reduced This eight hovr business is all fine theory, but when it touches the men’s pocketbooks it is another thing altogether. ““I'tie shops were run cight hours lust sum- mar,” coutiiued Mr. Daily, “and the men wero kicking all the tune. We have been runuing nine aud one-half hours this summer 1 1 have not heard of anyone kicking be- 1se the hours are too long “Our machinery is running all the time and two shifts of men are worked in order to get out the material ahead of the workmen. The compuny would be perfectly willing to put on three gangs of men and let them work eight hours each, but I will venturo to say there would be a tremendous howl go up if such o thing was done. *The chances are that we shall keep right on as before, running niveand one-half hours, und T don't beliave there will be any com- plaint.” in Am prepared to p wge loan wortgage, no commissions, no deluy.
