sKRENADE TO Mr.. EMERY.
AMER the adjournment OF the meeting, the
First Ward Invinciblcs and Second Ward Trus
| Republicans returned 10 their homes by vav
Of Z street, and halted in front of Mr. Emeryss
residence and rendered him a serenade. After
several airs had been performed Mr.. Emery an
peared, and Mr.. A. r. Pardon briefly Addresses
him, congratulating him on the success of tho
to the cause. Mr.. Emery simply RESPONDED. re-
turning his thanks for the call.
ATTEMPT TO CREATE A DISTURBANCE
While those delegations were in front OF Mr.
Emery's residence quite large number of tho
"ringites" appeared on the opposite side of the
street, and attempted TO create disturbance bv
blocking up the street, but no notice was taken
OF them, and they were thus foiled in their pur-
pose.
The Side Stands.
The assemblage was 30 large that it was soon
found to be impossible for any one mans voice
to reach them all, and therefore after the meet
ing at the main stand had been organized it
was determined to have speaking from the two
porticoes Of the City Hall.
SPEECHES AT THE WESTERN STAND.
At the west wing OF the City Hall the steps OF
the portico were densely thronged with ladies
and gentlemen. There was line Of transpa-
rencies in front OF the stand. Mr.. q. ID. Barrett
called the meeting TO order, and after making a
| few opening remarks introduced Mr.. Peter
Baumgras, who briefly addressed the lfermanS
present in their native language.
At the conclusion Of the German address, Mr..
Baumgras addressed the assemblage in English,
saying that he had made remarks in his native
| tongue because there were many OF his country
men present, and some OF them could UNDER
stand him better. The present outpouring OF
| the people spoke in more eloquent language
than words could express that a great REFORM
was willed by the people, and il must come,
because the people are the rulers. What brings
| so many citizens together on the present occa-
sion? Here is a most beautiful exemplihcatiou
| of a republican, form Of government; when tina
| people speak forth authoritatively that change
must be made in our officials, they having failei
| TO carry out the will Of the people. In conclu-
sion, the speaker enjoined upon the Germans to-
| vote as q man for the peoples choice, Matthews
q. Emery. lGreRt spplause.l
MIR. y. ID. Barrett then addressed the assem-.
blsge, saying that the present was a happy
| moment to the city Of Washington. There was
no place on earth so appropriate az around tha
monument of Abraham Lincoln for an outpour-
ing Of free people 10 express their disapproba-
ton Of misrule and their deter mination 10 hay8
q reform. lApplause. No more will be heard
of cspital-moyers now-the present corrupt
as n ana b ang m men now k out OF their
of the city, which will 20 prosper that the Con-
| gress of the United States will give US many
Mr.. Bowen that he had great influence with
| Senators and Representatives, but il he had
ever enjoyed their confidence IL is now apparent
to all that he has lost it, as be cannot even OBJ
tain the aid of Congress to clean out the canal.
| In fact the powerful influence Of Bowen has had
the erect 10 stop all legislation Tor the benefit
| Of the city. Applause In an honest man has
an honest claim upon the corporation a portion
OF il must needs go into the pocket of Bowen's
attorney before the claim could be got through.
SO with this powert al influence of Bowen with
Congressional committees, ari the result Ia
that he has no influence left with those honora-
| BILE bodies-they knowing full well his SELFISH
ness. The truth is there is no man who cam
control the Congress Of the United States,
and il is a false pretence to assume any
such power. In securing the election OF
1 Matthew q. Emery we will be able TO secure
| the cooperation Of Congress TO all whole-
some laws for the benefit of the city,
as he will at once impress that body with hon.
esty Of purpose. lApplause.l Another fact
should not be overlooked. NJ. q. Emery is i'm
| favor OF extending the suffrage TO our citizens
in the county, who have never yet enjoyed such
| privileges. An effort was made some time ago
| to have worlds fair started in this city, but
| because we had no city government which Con-
| gress respected, ID had failed Let these things
| be remembered by the voters at the coming
| election. There would have been labor enough
| for all our mechanics and artizans for wears "a
| come, ii this worlds fair had been encouraged
| by Bowen, and a charter granted through his
| influence with Congress. lvoices-"That's SOL
