THE POLICICAL POT

The only effective way of voting for Bryan for United States senator is to vote for candidates for the legislature who are pledged to support him. It will be well for voters to keep this fact in mind.

We suggest that the county central committee for Douglas county make it a point to give all the democratic candidates for the legislature a chance to speak at the ward meetings. The democratic legislative ticket is one of which any party could be proud. Individually the candidates make a good appearance, and they are all strong men. Show them off. They are thoroughbreds and will bear a thorough inspection.

There were a number of democrats from the Fifth congressional district who attended the debate at the Coliseum Thursday night. It was difficult for these to recognize in the big-bodied and strong-lunged chairman who represented Mr. Thurston the same gentleman who sat in the front row at the Superior convention of 1890 and yelled long and loud for "Andy Jackson and Billie McKeighan." Yet it was the one and the same man. Everything now points to the election of George W. Tierney as a member of the city council from the Sixth ward. Mr. Tierney was born in Pottsville, Pa., in 1853, of old revolutionary stock. His forefathers settled there in the year 1680. Tierney moved to Wisconsin in 1855, and was educated at Madison in the public schools. He moved to Nebraska in 1868, and settled at TECUMSEH, Neb.. He was stage agent for the Kansas and Nebraska and Western stage companies for several years. Afterward he was in the hotel business, and was mayor of that city. He was appointed internal revenue gauger in 1886 by Mr. Cleveland, and moved to Omaha, having resigned as gauger in January, 1890. He was appointed first deputy sheriff by John F. Body, and served during Boyd's term. Tierney has since been connected with the Omaha Brewing association as city agent and collector. If Tierney shall be elected the Sixth ward will have a man in the council who will carefully guard the interests of the taxpayers.

Omaha, as the leading city of the state, should be represented in Washington by a man who is himself representative. The Hon. James E. Boyd is a man of wide reputation and large influence. No man has been more thoroughly and more honorably identified with Omaha since it was Omaha than Mr. Boyd. He is now in the very prime of useful life, fully abreast of the times and thoroughly in touch with the city's hopes and aspirations. He possesses a peculiar worth and fitness for the position, and if elected, could, on this account, be of great service to his constituents, enjoying as he does not only harmonious political relations, but personally friendly relations with the administration.

It scarcely seems reasonable that voters should have any occasion to debate with themselves in making a choice for congressman.

Governor Boyd, instead of putting his money in bonds or running a bank and loaning money, for fifteen years, until 1887, operated in Omaha a large pork packing plant, employing hundreds of workingmen the year round, and laid the foundation for the great packing industries at South Omaha. Governor Boyd, by his investments and energy, demonstrated that hogs could be packed here, and in fifteen years he built up a market. Two fine theaters, costing almost half a million, are evidences of his faith in Omaha. Were not the mechanics and laborers benefited by the erection of these buildings? At least fifty men, including office help, ushers, musicians, bill posters and stage hands, find constant employment in and about Boyd's theater. It is well to remember that a vote for Deaver is a vote for Mercer.

Thomas J. Flynn, democratic nominee for councilman form the Second ward, has been a resident of Omaha for nineteen years and was educated in her public schools. He is 30 years of age, and is looked upon as an exceptionally bright energetic young man. He is thoroughly honest and would prove himself a valuable member of the city council.

C.B. Wilson, democratic nominee for member of the board of education, is a very capable gentleman and should be elected. Mr. Wilson was born in Pennsylvania, and received his early training in the public schools of his native state, afterward entering college and graduating with honors in 1887. After teaching one year he came to Omaha, where he has since been associated with prominent wholesale firms. He is a brother of Rev. J. M. Wilson, pastor of the Castellar Presbyterian church.

Edward P. Mullen, who obtained the highest number of votes at the city convention for member of the board of education, is very well known in Omaha, where he is esteemed and respected by all parties.

Mr. Mullen is a native of Canada, where he obtained a common school and university education. When it became time for him to make a start in life he accepted the invitation of the late Mr. Paul Geinrich and Mr. E. O. Brant and came to Omaha to enter the service of the Burlington road.

During his residence in Omaha Mr. Mullen has been an indefatigable worker in the ranks of the democratic party. He has served as secretary of the city central committee for nearly five years. He is also financial secretary of the Samoset association and is an Elk in good standing.

Unobtrusive and unassertive, Mr. Mullen has impressed his honest and genial personality on an immense number of his fellow-citizens, who found in him a competent, honest and in every way unassailable candidate for a position of trust and responsibility, such as a seat on a the board of education is.

Fullerton Post: Let the republicans throw off the yoke of railroad bossism in Nebraska, purify their principles and select men of character and standing to conduct their party affairs and there will be no question but what a great many of their old-time supporters will again fall in.
