The stopping of a funeral at Toledo, because the man driving the hearse was not a member of the hack drivers" union; the pulling of a man off his own wagon at Chicago on Labor day and beating him to a jelly because he did not have a card in the teamsters union; the example of Walking Delegate Parks in New York and other instances of petty tyranny have lessened the influence of labor unions greatly. Especially has the combinations of employers and ' unions to the discomfort, financially, of the middle classes, who have no unions, had an effect. The middle class man is against this policy of compelling a man to join a barbers union before he can shave himself, or making him unite, with the chambermaids protective association before he dares make his own bed, and it is possible if a concert of effort is made on Teddy at this time that the middle class fellows will flock to him out of pure sympathy. However, time alone will tell. The labor unions make a mighty display on the holiday set apart for labor, but they are usually woefully shot to pieces on the day the ballots are cast. . LOCAL POLITICS. In the preliminary skirmish between the Kearns and men comprising the membership of the Republican City committee, the Kearns men got a walloping. It is C. true Loofbourow that Fred was as a seated member of the committee, but on the main question they got it in the neck. It was Dennis C. Eichnor who delivered the blow and it was clean and incisive. Dennis was put up against an emergency and he met it like a hero. anti-Kear- ns giiimAmiAuimamAuimDiimiaiAimiAfi KRUGS OMAHA I Krugs BEER.

After much big talk Katzs seat was declared vacant. The Kearns men nominated Fred C. Loofbourow for the place and Fred was elected, although Messrs. Callister, Eldredge, Irvine and Pratt voted against him. The political acrobatics of former judge and former Colonel M. L. Ritchie were a feature of the evening. Former Judge and former Colonel Ritchie was a Kearns man, yet when it came to taking a vote on the date, ho abandoned his crowd and voted against a motion to have the convention held on September 28. Be it known that the Kearns people wanted an early convention so that if defeated in nominating their candidates in the convention an independent movement could be started, which they could assist. By holding the convention early, all the work could 'be done in time to file the ticket, but if the convention was held at as late a date as has been selected, then and in that case it would be a physical impossibility to get the name of the nominees on a new ticket on the official ballot So Mr. Ritchie voted against holding the convention on September 28 and the men began to think he might not be such a bad sort of fellow after all. On a motion to make the date October 12, Ritchie executed one of his famous gyrating rotating movements and voted with the Kearns crowd. His action tied the vote. Eichnor promptly vots men. Then on ed with the a motion to make the primaries October 12, the precinct conventions the 14 and the convention the 15 the Kearns forces got it in the neck. Mr. Wing, who represented Fred Wey, s forces and only joined the the votes of Lawson, Loofbourow and Myers were recorded against these dates. A feature of the meeting was the absolutely fair conduct of George Wilson, who had the proxy of Viking Lawson. Although he was against the Kearns forces himself and voted with the crowd, Wilson con voted Lawsons proxy scientiously against himself every time. Really it is by no means certain that Wilson was not more fair to the Viking than the Viking would have been to him self. The basis of representation to the convention will be one delegate to every sixteen votes case for Thompson in 1901. This will give the convention 511 delegates, which will surely be ample. Myers, Loofbourow and Irvine were appointed a committee to select a hall in which to hold the meeting. , anti-Kear- ns anti-Kearn- anti-Kearn- . anti-Kear- ns friends have already counteract any such movement.
