lie cannot paw them ont of his own pocket. He
has got many an officer under him that cripples
him, and he had done the best he could. He had
been forced TO turn certain men ont OF Office;
and as sure as YOU are born he is doing the best
| that he He should not be crushed, and
when his affairs are investigated he will stand
| as a bright star i'm the armament.

| God gave him strength he would do all in his
power to re-elect the present chief executive Of

| and does not give them employ ment this season,
| when they need 1t so much, but it was because
he had been paying Off the debts Wallach had

Prof. A. NJ. Green was called upon but de-
| clined to speak, when Mr.. jeremiah Costello
| was called out, and made arousing speech, eulo-
CYSTIC Of Mayor Bowen; saying that he came into

found himself seated on the floor.

but was glad to see the Irishmen waking mp to
| the good cause, and he urged them to fall into
| the ranks of the regular Republican Club OF the
! ward and work for the common cause. 1t woul.
bring strength to the cause at the next election,
and he was DESTROYS Of seeing more interest taken

! Republican ranks, but he wanted to them
work with the regular Republican Clubs am
