THE COMMUNISTS.

THEY TURN THEIR BACKS ON NE. HESlNd.
The Communists, who have beou dormant 10.
some time past, have again awakened from thei
slumbers. and last evening they held large
uass-meeting at No. 529 Milwaukee avenue
What has aroused them this time and infused new
life into their organization is the nomination ot
their arch-enemy Mr. A. G. Hesing. for the
Office Of County Treasurer. Though they are
not sufdcieutly organized nor strong enough al
the present time, still they could not allow the
election to pass without making some kind ot
demonstration, and to show that they are etill
alive.
The meeting was organized by the election OF
Mr. J. Webeking as Chairman, and A1r. Carl
Asmus as Secretary.
The Chairman stated that the meeting had
been called for the purpose OF discussing the
election and its importance to the workingmon.
Again they stood On the eve OF an election con-
test where the horde of otice-seekers, or by
whatevcr uame these benefactors Of the people
were called, fought each other for the spoils.
lief from all possible evils. Should they,
the vorkiugmen, allow themselves longer
to be led around By leading strings? Should
they longer believe tnoue scound1els would thev
continue to help to weave the rope which was
destined to ultimately straugle them. Was it
gan to take III hand their destinics, to DESTROY
the power OF the robber band II they looked
at those politicians they would find they wore
the same who had always swindied them. There
fore they must gather together and show by
turning out III large numbers that they we're
tired Of being used Is tools any longer by auch
persons to carry out their dirty projects.
AR. FETTEs
was then introduced az the first speaker. He
said they had assembled to consider what action

q class were set ct egotissica selfish. md ig-
noraut thieves who cared nothing whatever for
the welfare OF the people. The Office Of County
Treasurer WAS worth ab5ut sl00, 600 yeaz, and
The candidates who we're seeking he Office did
it merely for the spols, to bo enabled to live in
grand and e1trayagans style. Such a man as A.
G. HesinE. who had changed politics IS
often as chameleon changes colors.

nothing in common with them. As long

and he no longer owned the sawmlll, he was tho

CAUSE that We had still hard times, though thu

bloodsuckers into their holes. [Applause] It uas
an outrag geous shame that such state OF affairs
as that existing now WAS permitted. Mona but
the wo1kingmen themselves we're to blame for
1t. II they wou1d only come out and do their
duty like men and good citizens these thieves
would be out Of existence soon, and be heard OF
no more. Tho politicians lived in pr1ncely style,
and even their stables were furnished and CAL
peted better than the best habitations of tbs
worklngmen. To-bring about chauge, they
must unite and organize, and show that they
were good citizens Of this great Rcpnblic, and
had the welfare Of the whole people at heart. a
politlcian would twist and turn, and mako

probably accomplish nothing at this election,

I'LL. JACOB w1SSEN,
the next speakeI referred to tue speech OF Mr.
uesing at Vorwort's Tutner-Hall, where he pro-
feeEed to have been faithful Republican until
the party became corrupt, and that numberless
offices Of trust aud honor wera offered to him,
which be had always refused. Now, that state
ment was rather thin. Everybody knew that

head OF the gamblers ticket, found it necessary
