Doctor Morgan Doctors In Beughty's
Dominion.

In the Ninth Ward. last night, the
superior brilliancy Of Doughty over
Kerth was demonstrated; for in the
Seventh Ward Pow-wow the other
night, all the light furnished was
from a square tin lantern anda tallow
dip, while Doughty had six torches
strung on a fence rail.
The c. q. Band we're instructed not
to play the maniac" as DR.. Morgan
had been especially engaged for that
role. They therefore commenced with
a quickstep On Third Street. played
again on Sixth. and by the time they
arrived at Schanks, on Eighth Street,
there was a good crowd present.
Mr.. Doughty called the meeting to
order, and nominated Captain Geo.
T. Cochran for President. Capt.
Cochran was elected, mounted the
stand, made his bow, and said a few
appropriate words By way Of introduc-
ing DR.. Morgan. After introducing
the Doctor, he inquired OF the crowd
if any one had seen him. and by dill
gent search be was found so deeply
absorbed in studying his speech that
he did NOT hear himself introduced.
Having studied his speech. the
Doctor spoke with more than his
usual luency, as follows:
I'VE are on the eve of an election;
pause.
In looking over, We arc heavily
taxed to pay for last years admins
tration."
Here an opposition speech COM
mcnced on the other side of the
street, but was promptly checked.
THE Clerks books are not legible
to common understandings"
They want to shut up Main Street
with a fence around the Longworth
Tract"
THE city expends too much for
ornamental work. such as sewers and
such things. instead of investing the
money where it will bring a return"
All good attorneys are Demo-
Gratis"
He then said something about a
woman who could do without shoes,
but suffered for want Of a diamend pin.
He said that after a long discus
sion about the Longworth Tract in
Council on one occasion. they permit
ted him to make a few remarks,
talked about the shame of making
butchers pay license, his career in the
Legislature, and after ~foundering
around and abruptly jumping from
the Legislature to the sewers again,
he began to sink slowly, complimented
the band, and seemed on the point of
taking a fresh hold, when the band
began to play.
When it had dono. Rudd was called
for and responded. He had as good
a right in the Bloody Ninth as any
body, though he didn't live there. He
told a story of a turkey hen spread
ing herself. at which the little boys
laughed.
Doughty was called and came. Said
he could not be lead by anybody, and
any one who thought he could was
mistaken. If he found himself IN
a minority in the next Council, he
would accept the situation.
Aleck Wilson spoke his Seventh
Ward speech. except the school house
matter.
Mr.. Maynard said his thankee,
ma'am."
Gillette commemorate grandiloquent
style, but went no farther than the
commencement.
Capt. Willard said he was the Gus
todian of the morals of the city, and
repudiated the word bloody, as ap
piled to the Ninth Ward. Being a
judge of morals, he judged this was q
Democratic crowd. and invited them
to fall into a procession and march.
The band demurred, without an ex-
ira dollar each, but finally consented
to trust them, and they marched ac'
cordingly down to Warren & Conyng-
toms music store, where the band
opened, and eighteen men and seven
boys, the remnant of the procession.
marched through.
All during the meeting, a German
Democrat on the further side of Main
Street, kept talking in a loud tone of
voice, calling a Republican country
man such pet names, as he had seen
applied by the Dem2krGt to the local
editor of the JOURNAL.
The procession, as compared with
Van Riper's. was a dead failure, but
the meeting, especially DIR. Morgan's
part, was a ucces
