It was ono of the natured audiences that was ever assembled the . willing to give credit to anybody and every body who had anything to do with it, being aparently satisfied just to have things as they are under the recent declsion of the voters. Among those scated on the stage were Mayor T. S. Clarkson, Richard S. Smith, Johin C. Wharton, Georgo A, Bennett, George Munro, Judie Stenberg, General Georzo S, Siinth, Colonel C. R. Scott, J. G.

Mercer, chairman of the republican county ventral committee, who stated that the meoting was not a partisan one, but rather one of the peo- ble, since voters, regardioss of party, had joined in electing the ticket nominated by ho republicans, because it more nearly rop- resented good government than the oie put in the field by the domocrals, John C. Wharton was the second speaker, and ho occasionod an_outburst whon ho an- nounced that the result of the council boodlo nvestigation and_ oi ‘Tuesday’s election would be honest city government under an honest administration. Hon, W. J. Connell reiterated the state mont that the occasion was not a ropublican ratification meeting, but was a goncral re- Joicing because of the splondid triumph of principal and right against that which was wrong, He declared that the issuo had not been made agaiust the Catholic church or any other church, but some of thestrony ad- hereuts of that church bad made it and the people bad accopted it and the verdict was well kuown. Ho said that he hud been asked if he was going to reply to Mr. Gauuon's attack upon bum, and had not intended to a0 so, but he wishad to say that he would not atlempt to bold Mr. Gannon resposible for his mouth, only for opening it and bringing the religious 1ssie in this campaign. He was satisfied that the democrats had learned a lesson and would henceforth recoguize Gannon's voico as the foghorn of defeat und every time he put his pen on paper to writo an editorial for the Recorder it would be called the ccho of the foghorn. Fe cared but litte for the attacks made on him, _ and would have minded it moro it had como from somo other scurce. e wanted to publicly thank the honest demo- crats who had so bravely come to the rescue in favor of good government.

Ho paid & handsomo tribute to the honest dewocrats who had tue courage to leave their party and vote for woud government. He said that the result of the election wis the expression of the protest of the people ugainst disreputable journalism. Haunderstood that Mr, Osthoff had been “lost oft,” and body in the house cachinmated. ‘The splon workings of the Australian ballot wer touched upon. Mr. Thurston contrasted the democratic jubilation on Monday night with that of the cltizens gencrally after the election, and tolda tho story of the Irishiien and the bull, which was apparently new :o some of 1hose i tho touse. Hoa. J. L. Wobster touched upon the work of the calamity orators of the indepeadent party, and said the people wers to be con gratulated because they wero assured of good wovernment to o with their fine crops.

No fines were imposed, however, as he cut it short with a fow interesting aud nonpartisan remarks. Where the Col ved Men Came I Dr. M. O.

It had uone of the coarse characteristics which marred the pleasant ensemble of a similar affair at Winston, Mo., a few years since, when tho genial plunderers found it necessary to kil the conductor and & passonger or two in the course of consummating their desive for “other people’s money."” Nor was its suc- cess interferea with by any consideratious such us usually characterizod like proceed- ings near Springhield, Mo, where it is cus tomary to remove the rails on the lower sido of the curve in Robber's Cut, and ailow tha train to dash into tho steep ombankmont. That stops tho train, but it generally kills the ongineer and firomen, which s not alto gother in harmony with the joyous nature of the occasion. Well Laid Pla In this instance evorything moved along like a thoatrical performance. Indecd, if tho whiole robbery bad baen rehiesrsea for days, it is doubtful if it could have besn carried out with groator accuracy and loss friction. Lach man of the attacking party seemed to kuow just what wus expected of bim, and od his sharo of tha'work without any necessary nversation. The trainmen were complotely surprised and overpowered, and were unable w offer any resistance whatever, “There is little doubt but the robbery was the worlk of an organized gang. It is supposed to be the same that boldly robbed the Kansas City, Kas., barn oftice of the Metroplitan Streot Railroad company, that robbed & Joseph hotel, that robved the Ames avenus barn of the Omaha Streot Railway company aud the bank at Homer, Neb. Its operations are the boldest and most daring of any known m the west sluce the days of the Jameses and Youngers. Good descriptions of its members have been obtained, and thero is a very strong probability of some of its wem- bers being nabbed by the law. They Used ilynamite, One noticeable feature of the gang's work is that it doos not ignore the improvements of modern science. Instead of tackling tho ueavy door of the express car with a prin tive crowbar and wasting valuablo time try ing to gain_entrance by obsolete means, merely plauted a little stick of giant powder near the door, and a bit of lighted fuse did the rest. All this refers to the experionco of tho Missouri Pacific express train No. 2, which lott the Webster street depot, in Omaba on Wodnesday night at 9:30, for Kausas City. The train made a regular stop at West Sido twenty-five minutos later, and snortly after was stopped again, at the Jlichorn crossing, about twelve miles from this city, whero the express car was broken into’ and_robbed. Six masied men took possession of the train, robbed tho oxpress car and then decampod into the night. After the robbery one man was sent to Omaha, and the affair was reported to tho public about | A detail was sent to the scene at once, but could discover nothing save a lot of brass cartridge shells, empty, the bullets from which had been fired at random by the robvers.

Pocketoooks were shpped under cushions, watches were dropped into bootlegs, and sev- eral men who drew revolvers were begeed by other passengors in the car not to shoot if the robbors entered as somo one would surely be kilied.” There wore several women 1n the sleeper that 1 was in and they behaved about as well as the mon. A minute about that time seemed aboutas long as a half holiday. Everyvody was watching the front door, expecting to see the masked faces enter. But the door remained shut. We could hear the revolvers crucking down toward the engine, but no one cared to et out to see who was domgthe shooting. *“'no robbers had taken their station upon ench side of the train and were firing down along the train.
