HOT SHOT GIVEN AND RECEIVED Pastor Hall Explained His Side of the Case ina Lengthy Address, Butat the Co clusion of the Debate He Was Voted Out. It rained last nignt, porsistontly and stead- ily, but the cold wate: did not deter the members of the First Baptist church from coming out and jolaing eagerly in the fray that 1s being waged between the two deadly factions in the church, one of which 1s try- ing to dismiss the pastor, Rov. L. A. Hall, and the other to retain und sustain him. They mot last night for tho purpose of fight- ingitouttoa finish, The weapons were tongues and ballots, There were plenty of both end they were used. Allthe members were prosent, with enough outsiders to oc- cupy all the room loft. By agreoment Mr. A. W. Clark of Omaha was selected as & moderator or chairman. He was an hour late in getting into town, aud it was §:30 beforo he called tho meoting to order. When he did so he briefly statoed the caso and read a prepared program which he found oo the pulpit. He made-a concil- iatory talk, advising all members to think and pray earnostly before they took any ac- tion in the meating. Before the trouble com- menced one member from each faction deliv- ered a prayer and asked for especial blessings on his sidge. The factions were arranged with the most pronounced opponents of each party occupying sections as far removed as possiblo from each other and the more neu- tral ones filling the center section. Oae of the members in his preliminary skirmish or prayer suggested to the Lord that thero was such a thing as striking hands in wickedness and intimated that the other side were locked in such an embraco. Debate Was Limited, By agreement the debate was limited to a statement from each side, the pastor to have the opening and closing speech and to repro- sent his side unless some member friendly to him chose to tuke up part of his time. At the conclusion of this the vote was to be taken. W. B. Shillington and Willlam Blood were appointed tellers, and Lefore the specches commenced printed slips bearing the gues- tion **Shall the present pastoral relations be continued?’ were scattered through the con- gregation, Rev. Mr. Hall commenced the business by an easy conversational talk, avd when he was just beginuing to get interested in the subjoct of the church dissensions ho was called to order by onc of the members, who labored under the misupprehension that he only had five minutes to make the opening spoech. Ho appealed to the congregation to decide whether this was to be a business meoting of earnest men and women or & lit- tle country school debating society. The congragation dco ded that 1t was a red hot businoss meeting, and he was given leave to use as much tine as he required, and for the next thirty minutes he poured volleys into the ranks of the enemy that made them wince. His words wero so hot that they smoked. The church, he said, bad not followed him five minutes since he became its pastor; ho hadn’t had tho united help of the members for one second. He wanted to know if the opposition thought it woulu belp the church to dismiss him. Then he reminded them what they had done. Out of over $1,900 the opposing faetion represented just $178. Then he called their attention to the fact that they bad called him to the church unanimously. “If God called me with your unanimoes con- sent and approbation you had better be care- ful what you do; that is, 1f voe think you have any acquaintance with God. I sco mom- bers here tonight whose voice I havo ncver heard in prayer. Isn’t that singular? ‘Tho trouble is, you nover pray. Itisa’t a change of minister you want, bui a change of heart." Taen he went over all the old trouble, the trouble the church had had with other pas- tors. *You said God called Rev. Mr. Thick- stun, but you soon thought God was wis- taien, and after he and his noble wife had built this splendid church you threw him out, and that man and his broken wife are suffering in this city today from the hard- shis they endured. You ure equally unani- mous in your beliof that God had calied Rov. Mr. Lemen, but it wasn’tlong until you found that God had made another big blunder and you bouncea him—Lemen, not God, and todsy ho is prosperous ana doing a great work in your midst in spite of your malice. 1 have done the best I could, and preached to you the best sermons I could while trying to hold you off.” Thought it Was Chronle, He then read a number of letters bearing on the subject from friends and cnetwies, one of a scurillous character from a member who signed himselt “Tom Egglostone,” advising the pastor to skip out aud 20 to buying hay for a living. He also read from the church records, showing that this dissatisfaction with the pastor was chronic. He characterized it as o disease in the church, which had broken out at reguiar intovvals for the past ten or 1ifteen years. It was a bad thing, he thought, to keep pulling up a tree every few mont w0 seo what the roots were doing. The pastor then took bis seat and Mr. Evans, oue of the opposing members, pro- seuted the side of the opposition. He ad- mitted that thoy bad not supported the pas- tor, and asked, “How could we!” with a harsh inflection, He said the record of the pastor was bad, very bad, and covered wrecked churches from Gloucester, Mass., to Mason Cit Ia. He said he was a disturber nd denouncer of mem- bers. A man’s record ought not to count against him if he has changed it, but Hall bas not changed it since coming here. He had made false reprosentations little short ol falseboods. The church didn’t know his record when he came here, but they soon found it out and bad been tryving, for the saving of the church, to get him to quietty leave., This formed about the bulk of the charges and Mr. Hall made a son.ewhat sensational rejoinder. Ho saia be was sur- prised. He expected to be charged with murder or at least with having three or four wives, like some of the deacons of the church, ‘This ended the speachmaking, ana the last part of the eveniug was occupied in ballot- ing and disputing. The principal theme of discussion was as to whether the four mem- bers who were excluded recently and then taken back into the church three d later by a vote of the faction which opposed Hall, should be allowed to vote. A standing vote was taken, and the result of it was that the four members were allowed to vote, the ml)orll{ being twenty in thelr favor. The result of the flual votewas that the pastoral ;;lxnmn- were declared severed by a vote of to 57, e The G, M. Dodge camp, Sons of Vet- erans, will give a ballin G, A.

GRAHAM IN THE LEAD, Result of the Democratic Caucuses In the Various Wards, The democrats held their preliminary caucuses last evening to olect delegates to the city convention which s to be held to- morrow,” and 10 spite of the wet weather thera was a good atteadance in every ward. Democratic enthusiasm rose to a great height everywhero, and in a number of the wards some of the voters narrowly escaped phys- ical violence at the hands of their oppouents, From outside appearances A. C. Graham seoms to have captured a large share of the delegatious, and unless somothing is done to sidetrack his followers before tomorrow afternoon he may pretty saf:ly be counted on to come in at the death. In the First ward C. M. Mayn pointed chairman snd Fred Geise received the nomination for aiderman. Tho delega- tion, w hich is unanimously in favor of Gra- ham, is as follows: J. R. McPherson, D. N. Graves, M. Goodwin, L. C. Besley, Soren Thompson, Ed. Stockert, Fred Klager, R. B. Anderson, Benjamin Hagg, Wallace McFad- den and P, E. Snencer. H. W. Biader acted as chairman in the Second ward and T. BE. Casady secretary. ‘The contest over the nomination for alder- man was very spirited, the candidates being James Saguin and Dr. F. P. Bellinger. [t finally resuited in the nomination of Saguin by & vote of 120 to S7. The following delegates were appointed: W, H. Kneplier, A. T. Whittlesey, Gus Larsen, R, V. Phil- 1ips, John H. Mithen, D. M. West, Emil Schurz, William Allstrand, S. J. Rodda,John McDonald, Josiah Dauforth, The delegation is said to be solia for Gra- ham for mayor, W. N. Whittiesey for aud- itor, and Major G. H. Richmond for surveyor, buton the other haund it is quietly hinted that some one is going to bo greatly disap- pointed when the final vote 1s cast. In the Third, J. R. Dietrica was olected chairman and P.J. MacBride secrotary. A straight aham delegation was elected b; a vote of 120 to 87, composed as follows: W. ‘Micken, William Maioney, C. Gregory, eorge Blaxsim, Ed Britton, L. C. Larson, I°. M. Hunter and J. R. Dietrich. E. E. Aylesworth was appointed chairman in the Fourth ward and Dr, Donald Macrae, jr., secretary. A march was stolen on Mac- rae's supporters here, by a motion that the delegates be elected by acclamation and that no man should bo allowed to place in nom- ination more thun one iadividual. As a gen- eral thing the first man nominated was elected, and although the followers ot Mac- rao wore considarably 1n the lead the lack of organization was easily taken advantage of by the opponcuts of Macrue, who ran in a delogation which 1is claimed to be for Gra- ham oy a majority of 5 to The following aroe the delezates: J, J. Shea, J. B. Atkius, F. Trimble, G. A. Robinson, W. E. Atchi- son, T. B. Lacey, R. D. Amy, H. F. Hatten- hauer, W. W. Cones was appointed chairman in the Fifth ward, and J. Bowman secro- tary. There were two tickets in the field, one of which was solid for 5. B. Wadsworth for mmayor, while the other was equally di- vided between Macrae and Grabam. Five colored men made a great roar at being shut out of the caucvs for being too late aud fully fiftcen minutes was occupied in wrangling over the question whetuer they should be allowed to vote. It was finally decided against them, and the count was made by the tellers, W. D. Hardin and W. C. Morris. At the bottom of the hat was fouud eight tickets, neatiy packed together, which Har- din claimed had evidently beeu put thers by some member of the Wadsworth faction. He demanded that they be thrown out bodily. A third man who had assisted tho teller: ceiving the ballots claimed that ho had felt of every ticket as it was passed in, and that the hat could aot possibly have been stuffed. Morris accordingly protested against the batlots being thrown out. At this juncture the five colored men who had not been allowed to vote came tothe surface once moro be allowed to exercis cap citizens. A nalf hour was speont in dis cussing this pont, and bodlam reigned su- premo. At last it was decided to leave the matter to M. Callahan, wbo, as he himself said, ‘‘had been township clerk for sixteen years and knew how these things were done.” Hedecided that the votes should be counted, to the great dispust of the oppo- nents of Wadsworth, for the eight ballots turned the scale in his fuvor. The following 15 & list of the delegates: W. C. Morris, Ben Ausun, F. Dingte, William n, S. Fos- ter, C. Sherer, James Nolan, J. W. Bell, In the Sixth a very quiet caucus was held. P. D. Burke was chairman and W. B, Fisher secrotary. Three tickets were in the field, two of which were claimed to bo in favor of Graham and the third was for Macrae. One of Grahaw’s tickets. was elected, recewvin, eighty-six ballots, whilo Graham's secon ticket was considorably cut up, the differont delegates receiving anywhere from twenty- one to forty-two votes. Macrae's ticket re- celved twenty-two votes. The names of the successful candidates are as follows: P. D. Burke, J. C. Hanson, R.T.
