THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1893, but it transpirod that the candidate had no intention, at that time, of “‘setting ‘em up.” Down the back stairway they went, almost tumbling over each other in their haste to get to tho bar, but when thoy reached there the man at the head of the column kept them moving, and before they knew it they were out in the cold world, 'As they were rushed along the bar almost at & lope many was the glance that was cast at the white- aproned profossor on the other side, but the doctor was nowhere Lo be scen, and not a word was spoken. There wasn't half the enthusiasm in the orowd when it reached the sidewalk vhat there had been a couple of minutes before, and in a very few seconds the collection of numan beings that had been designated by the doctor as “seventy-five of the most rep- resentative citizens of Omaha” had faded away from view in the mist. Henry Ehrenpfort, Phil Winter and Jim Kyner lingered a moment to swap secrots with the doctor and then disappeared, while Mr. Broatch, who was not at the meeting apstairs, but who was intercsted in a little pathering on the lower floor, availed himself of the opportunity to go to bed. NOT AS AN ORGAN Omnha's Ministerial Assoolation Refuses to Opposo Mayor Bomis ‘or fte-Kleution. As an organization, the Omaha Ministerial union has unamimously decided that 1t will not dabble in municipal politics at the com- ing election, but will leave the members of the churches of the city at liberty to vote thelr henest convictions. There have been bids for the church vote and vromises galore, but the pastors have rofused to bo caught by promises and have given the bidders to understand that they would have to look outside of the protestant churches for a solid support. Some time ago there was o report that the church voteof thecity would not go to Mayor Bemis on account of some action which he is alleged to have taken with reference to the gambling houses, and immediately there- nfter tho othier aspiring candidates for the ofiice of mayor commenced to importune the union for an endorsement. Couriers were sent to the members, asking them to take some united action. At last the visits bocame n bore and meeting was called. The meeting was held last weck but no action was taken, though & commit- tee was appointed to hear the claims which the boomers of certain candidates might pro- sent a8 an argument why some other man than George P. Bemisshould fill the mayor's chair during the next two years. The committee set the time for the hear- Ing and notified the secekers for votes hat thoy could huve thew innings and snow whether or not certain men were such as the churches could support. Dr. Samucl D. Mercer wa who was ushered before the committee, and A8 soon s he was introdus he informed them that he wason the right side of re- ligion and that he was a man to whom the rhurches of any could tie. ‘I'hen he told the committee that he had or would be en- dorsed by all of the American Protective nssociation councils of the city, which would give him a big lead in the fizht, and a standing which no other candidate could hope to secure. All he wanted, he said, wus ment of the churches and he would ride into office with ono of the largest majorities that any wan in Omaha had ever received. ‘I'hree times aid the doctor appear, before this committeo and “each time did he tell the samea story and then the committee turned him down. The members found that he was good enough for practical purposes, but that he was not a man who could be held up by the churches as the right kind of a can- didate. This settled the Mercer boom in the chucches, and after it had been so settled, the representatives of Isaacal Hascall were invited to step inside and stand on the car- pet. These representatives told the com- mittee” that Hascall was the only true friend of the laboring man and that he would get that vote, irrespective of party, but that vote, they said, would not be quite enough to lift him over the fence. What they needed was the vote of the churches and then Hascall would win before he had entered the quarter stretch. The story sounded well, but it did pot take with the men who work for the salvation of souls, for when they discussed the matter in firfium they unanimously decided that Mr. ascall was not the kiud of & wman for mayor. None of the other candidates appeared, oor did they send representatives, so “the committee decided to let the church mem- bers vote their convictions, and so revorted to the union. The union endorsed the re- port and the several candidates will go into the fight without the endorsement of any of thie protestant churches. LATION, the first man SOUTIH OMAHA REPUBLICANS. Enthusiastio Mass Meetlng at Hall Last Evening. The most enthusiastic and best attended republican meeting that has been held in South Omaha since the campaign opened was beld in Pivonka’ hall last ight. Bruce McCulloch presided. Addresses were made by Assistant County Attorney Blabaugh, Fred Sackett, Judge Ambrose, Judge Tipton, J. W, Carr, 1L B. Irey and others. Candidate Beunett was booked, but did not put in an appearance. Mr, Irey explained the workings of his oftice in detail. He told how he had sent out notices Lo property owners, informing them that certain taxes were due, and among those whom he had favored with an extra notice was G. M. Hitchcock, the man who had maliciously assailed him in his paper. In concluding his speeck, Mr., Irey rend 8 poom that amused the gathering Pivonka's tly. Judge Eller did not arrive until late. He gavenotice 1o the voters present that he was compiling a statement detailing the affairs of his oMice, which heé®proposed to have printed at his own expense and cir- culated throughout the county. He was the ouly man who spoke who defended Sheriff Bennett. Ho didn’t consider that tne sheriff had done any great wrong in allowing Mosher to run around and “have a little fun.” fle said that “*Mosher was only a boarder,” and that he was uuder the cha; of the United States marshal and not of the shenfl. He roasted what ho ealled the “bar act” and made a strong appeai for demo- uratic votes as well as republican. He declored that Bennett was a good officer, and said that he would be elected in spite of the severe lumpooning he was getting on every hand. Mike Muul made a good talk for votes, Another meecing will be held one week Iater, » Domocratic Opposition, Justice Tevy En-lded over a democratic meeting held on thesecona floor of Pivonka's block.

There was a spirited talk in which the debtor informed Mr. Kountze that he had paid Bachelor & portion of the clam many long months vefore. Then Bachelor admitted that he had used tho money and that he had failed to turn it over to the rightful owner. ‘Other instanoces, 100 numerous to mention, constilute a pyramid of “souvenirs of mis- placed coufidence."

His pleading to be allowed oremain on the ticket was finally favorably considered and vhe committee decided to carry the load. SPE| Kepublieans Assemble at Kesstor's Hall and Listen to Campuign Orhtory. Tho republicans of the Second ward turned out to the number of 200 last night and held a mass meeting atKessler's hail, where all of the candidates, or most of them, ex- hibited thiemselves to the public by occupy- iug seuts upon the stage. Getting down to business, City Attoruey Connell was introduced as one of the speakers of the evening, and he at once waded into politics. Mr. Conneil dwelt at some length upon the record of the republican party, and vre- dicted that _at the next national republican convention William McKinley would be nomi- nated, and later would be elected by an overwhelmiag majority. When tne subject of county politics was reached, the city attorney swallowed the whole ticket, and opined that all of the par- ties named thereon were honorable gentle- meun, and would all be elected. The speaker spoke enthusinstically in support of Mavor Lemis, saying that he was the best ofiicial who bad ever stood at the helm looking after city affairs. J. Cornish declared that the idea of tissuship was all wrong and insistea ublicans should stand by the par s. Omaba, he said, had progressed until it was oune of the first cities in the land and deserved a continuation of good munici- pal government. Mayor Bemis, Mr. Cornish said, was not a politician, but every act he had performed was in the best interest of the city. Jim Kyner was introduced as a speaker, but he failed to create any onthusiasm as he ilingly jumped to the front. This Fifth wurder, notwithstanding the fact that he was in a bolter's meeting less than one week ago, biessed the republican party and prom- ised thathe would mot speak atany great length. |Great applause.] Mr. Kyner did not attempt to make a specch, but instead told o story about an old uncle, whom he designatea as *‘Bony,* and a resident of Ohio, and the old uncle, he said, loved his wife just as well as he did when sho was young and pretty. There was a time when Kyner could re- member, or at least so he remarked, when newspapers published the truth, but that day had passed and they had become so rtisan and personsl that they coula not be ved. Thea the speaker from the Fifth dvised the Second warders not to be- lieve all that thoy read. This having been settled, Mr. Kyner told anothier story, one about Cincinnatus, who, the speaker said. came down to Rome from the furm and handied the affairs of the city. No person saw the point, bul Kyner ex- plained by sayig that he compared that Roman with Bennett. Something seemed to strike Kyner, for all at once he seemea to grow angry, Prancing about the platform, he declared that heloved a placksmith and tho smell of the forge. In fact heloved them o great deal better than he did an editor or & reporter, who shovea @ pencil and earned his bread that way. Kyner by this time had grown so augry thut the stopped short and would not say another word, as “he knew that his spoech would be misquoted.” C, C, Stanley, the candidate for registrar of deeds, said that he wus nota speaker, but that he woula give the democratic nomines the fight of his hife. George A. Benuett, candidate for sheriff, expressed the opinien that he had been prettv thoroughly introduced ‘during the pust few da; The sheriff denied that the county jail had been operated as un ussigna- tion house, Ho said that once, and ouly once, had Mosher been out of the jail for the purpose of taking a carriage ride. That time was when he accompanied the sheriff to St. Joseph's hospital. Without a blush or sting of conscience Mr. Bennett told his hiearers that he was the best sheriff who had ever held the office in Douglas county. Speeches were made by George W. Hiil, candidate for suporintendent of pubtic in- struction ; Louis Berka, candidate for police ge; Theodore Olsen, candidate for city comptroller; Henry Belln, candidate for city treasurer; George S. Smith, candidate for justive of the peace; ol Prince, eandi- date for the council. My, Prince saia that it had been reported that he had sold out Bemis and agreed to support Hascali for mayor iu order 10 secure the endorsement of the populists. This, Mr. Prince said, was false aud that he had done nothiug of the kind. ‘T. J. Lund,. candidate forsthe council, de- clared that he was not a politician, but said n? was A republicau and was in the fight to win, Halfdan Jacobsen remarked that he had always been a republican and as such ex- pacted to bo returned Lo the council, Iron Cheek Bachelor next spoke, He said that he was a candidate for the council from the Second ward and that “‘when he went after anything it wus usually to win.” After mlkufilm- sweeping statement Mr. Bacho- lor took up his own matters and laundered some of his linen, saying that “‘no matier what he might have been in the past, ho ‘was bouest and henorablo now." WEST SIDE BEFUBLICANS, Poter SBchwenk Uncorks the Vial of His Political Wrath, Last night the West Side Republican club beld a faicly well attended meeting at Forty- tourth and Loavenworfh strecis.

MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION IN SESSION All of the Ok OfMcers Re-slected for the Ensning S#AF-A Lincoln Firm Firod for thé Abuse of the Asso- olation's Labek The directors of tne Manufacturers and Consumers association met at 12 o'clock in the Commercial club cafe. Twenty gentle- men sat down to the table with President Page at the head while Secretary Holmes looked after the opposite end of the board. Nebraska City and Fremont failed to have their airectors present but Omaha and Lin- coln were out in full force. Beatrice was represented by A. R Demp- ster of the Dempster Mill & Manufactur- ing company. Lincoln representatives wero as follows: Charles G. Hawley of the Western riage “Top company ; W. B, Howard of the Howard Medicine company ; J. C. Harpham of Harp- ham Bros.; M. A. Warren of Lincoln Paint and Color’ company; S. J. Alexander of Merchants and Farniers Insurance company. The Omaha directors present were: W A. Page, Adolph Meyer, J. H. Evans, Charles Cos, L., M. Rheem, W. W. Cole, M. G. Kibbe, G. M. Tibbs, R. F'. Hoagin, Samuel lu;tl!s. C. B. Gedney, O.C. Holmes, D. Far- Secretary Holmes read reports of the last meetings held in Lincoin and Omaha and gavea full statement of the financial condi- tion of the association. The statement, which has already boen published in these columns, was considered very gratifying. Trade Marks Discussed. The Manufacturers association has a label or trade mark which members are al- lowed to use on goods that are made in the state. It was reported that Mayer Bros., a large firm in Lincoln dealing in clothing, boots and shoes, were allowed to join the as- sociation as manufacturers of suspenders. They were entitled to use the labels of the association on their suspenders, but were de- tected in using them on eastern goods which they were representing as mude in Nebras- ka. Secretary Holmes stated that he saw Mayer Bros. and notified them that they could mot use the labels in that way. The firm promised to live up o the rule of the association but were detected a second time in trying to palm off eastern goods for Nebraska made. “The question of what was 1o be done with Mayer Bros. was discussed at some length, which resulted in a unanimous vote of ex- pulsion. Buckstaff Bros. of Lincoln sent acommuni- cation to the effect that they had been un- able to get a settlement out of the insuran companies for their fire, which occur n good many months ago. A list of the delin- quent companies was read. It was decided vhat the question was one that could hardly be tuken up by the nssociation. This question being settled, the members then proceeded to discuss the lemon pie and the secretary. * The pie was soon put out of sight and the setrétary was engaged for an- other year at a salary of $1,800, being an in- creuse $300. Nebraska Goads for Nebraskans. A resolution, was passed thanking the State Board of:Purchase and Supplies for their action in imsisting upon the state in- stitutions being/ supplied with Nebraska manufactured goods. Secretary Holmes re- ported that he was present when bids were received. and that He could not but commend the board for ' their public = spir- ited action 1 iu doing overything possible for the, ubbuilding of the manufacturing industries of the stato. . Theelection of officers was next declared in order and Mr. [ljbbs presented the name of W. A. Page for, president in a very neat speech. Mr. Page prose to decline the nom- ination, but M xdnder of Lincolu put the motion and Page was made pres- ident before he could say 4 word. Then fol- lowed the election of S, ], Alexander of Lin- coln as vice president and A. J. Vierling, treasurer. ‘The routine work of the association being completed, the president announced that speechmaking would be in order, and in- vited Mr. Dempster of Beatrice to start the ball rolling. Chairs were tilted back, cigars were lighted, and members prepared to enjoy one of those informal discussions of business affairs for which the Manfacturers association is famous. Mr. Dempster started out by usserting that he was not much of a speaker, but he waxed quite eloquent in describing the benefits that have accrued to his business and to the bus- iness of every other manufacturer from the efforts put forth by the Manufacturers and Consumers association of Nebraska. Mr. Rheem, who heiped to frame the con- stitution of the association, made some very timely remarks regardiog its organization. He said that education should commence with the children apd that they should be informed in school as to the resources and business developments of their state. This vrovoked an ‘‘audible smile,” which he si- lenced by asserting that the geographies used in the schools taught the children that Lynn, Mass., for exumple, is noted for its shoe factories, and be thought that it would De just as well to have them taught some- thing about the industries of Nebraska as of Maussachusetts. Mr. Howard of Liucoln offered some sug- gestions regarding tne subject of dues, which resulted in the appointment of the speaker, Mr. Harpham of Lincoln and the secrotary, as a commillee to look into that matter. President Page spoke of the popularity of the Mapufacturers and Consumers associa- tion and added that the retail dealers and consumers of the state were treating the manufacturers very fairly, Members of the association from the first realized the fact that their gooas must be up to the standard and he was pleased to note that Nebraska manufacturers were turning oLt better goods than their eastorn competitors, Keovival of Business, Mr. Harpham of Lincoln had noticed a rapid increage in toe volume of business transacted by his factory as a result of the home patronage movement. Dan Farrell, jr., said that the association should compile a list of all the goods manu- factured by members for the information of buyers. The speaker touched upon tho pleasant relations existing between the busi- ness men of the different cities of the state. His traveling men used ‘to get thrown out when they went down to Lincoln, but now they are welcomed with good ordors and the business men down there even- ussist them in working up now bijsiness, 8. J. Alexandep, pf Lincoln was of the opinfon that the “bringing togother of the cities of Omaha and Tincoln in a commercial way would be a greay benetit to both. He described at length the methods of the State Board of Purchase and Supplies and added that the winning overiof that board to home patronage meant hundreds of thousands of dollars for Nebraska. ; Mvr. Hawley of Lincolu said that the State Board of Agriculture had invited the manu- facturers to again make an exhibit at the state fair and he believed, 1if requested, it would provide a munufacturers hall. The building used at the last fair was not well caleulated for the” making of a display of manufactured goods. Mr, Gedney was in favor of holding mass meetings in the different cities of the state such as was held in Omaha two years ago, at which good kers should set forth the importanee of howe batronage. The speaker was in Minueapolis vecenlly and was surprised to hear manufacturers thore talking about Lhe home patronage movewent in Nebraska and its sucdess Other directors gave their experience and one and ail were agreed that the association had been a great success and that the object of the organization, ‘howe patronage,” :hhnul:l uehpuuhna with eveu greater vigor than in the past. i mecting adjoursed with the very best of teeling and the mewbers departed de- claring that it was the best meeling that they had ever had. e Graln Growers Mest, 6.
