business Of the evening WIS listening to speeches
On local and national politics.
EX-SENATOR Woodard Was first to address the
meeting. He wanted reform in every branch of
the Government. First, the very act of electlng
a man to office uas in most cases wrong, for that
man Uas elected vto could handle tho most
money and :. buy the most votes. :, Our
jury-system wAsh wrong. Juries we're
selected from among those men who
hung around the cnurs-rooms to mako living
as we'll as to cheat jushcn- The salaries OF city
officials woro too high, and much money wsa
spent in this way that could as we'll be saved. |
Hers Mr. Woodard indulged in sweeping
criticism on the salaries paid to the Comptroller
and tho Law Department sad its clerks to the |
no reason why city employees should leave their |
offices at o'clock. Why could not the extra |
help often employed be dispensed with and the |
usual clerks be made to work till o'clock, tke |
mere charity, City employees were paid better !
than any other class Of men, When hundreds |
we're willing to stop into their plsces at nbous |
one-half the salary.
In conclusion. the speaker was hopeful and |
confident He know that the Intelligent, ]
thoughtful industrious, and honest men would |
carry tho city. They should stop the practice |
OF yote-buying. = Tho bruins. energy, and hon. |
esty that created Chicago must rufe her.
Tho speech was well received. lasted over an /
hour, and was roundly applauded. Mr.. Wood t
ard was followed by Mr. Hoyt and others, WHO
spoke much after the same manner in regard TO
reform
