ton and was surprised to and the Dem.
ocratic stand from which Judge foiiest
delivered such sound good common
sense. was decorated and lighted up
with torches and Chinese lanterns. wnne
hunting was stretched all around. Az
first he thought there was to be Dem,
ocYatic meeting, but later on ne iouno
that the Democrats OF that ward vere 30
confident of success, that they nad 10
the goodness and fullness OF their hearu
granted the Radicals permission 10 hoio
forth.
After waiting for some time Inc
Young Mems Garfield Club, f~orty.seven
in number. appeared and after peram-
bulating around the streets Tor some
time managed to stop and the SPEAKERS
descended from their carriage ana
led by that ubiquitous individual-that
civil service man-Wes Atkinson, they
took their places on the stand. ihen

appreciated more than anything else
during the evening.

Harper's Ferry, as the first speaker.
Mir. Davies is an lrishman so ne says,
and his brogue would proclaim him az
such. He possesses that quality that all
| Irishmen have-a large amount OF
mother wit, and 1t must be said that
| aside from the bitter partisan manner
in which il was delivered the speech
was a good one. He started out by
saying that perhaps at one time when
he was a boy running over the hills OF
cd Ireland he might have had q
voice that could be heard to
this vast (?) audience, hat now
he was afraid that such a thing was in'
possible, still every one seemed to hear
him. He then started on the usual
course-address to freemen, compliment
TO the IMAM that carried his brains un.
der his W hat" and let no party think
that by their own strength they can
elec, their candidate. They must de,

Joining Tammany, which was a good
one, but the reason for getting ont was

gone over in the same old strain, anu
from that place on to the close, 1t was
the same regulation speech the Radical
stumpers all make, giving reasons why
a man should vote for Garfield. His
talk, however, filed in with SMILES and
delivered IN that ready style that an
Irishman possesses, was interesting
enough to hold the audience, which was
quite a good humored II g ,
At the close the chairman introduced
Chas. A. Foster, of Massachusetts,, who
appears to be a well.to-do sort OF an in
dividual, with a voice that could be
easily heard by $4,000 people there
were not that many there by a large
majority and that filed market square
and ali the back streets. He was q
''boomer," and howled forth the Radi-
cal views on aritf, etc, in a manner that
was calculated 10 reach the meeting
in Washington Hall. Looking at the
speaker and speech from a Republican
standpoint, it wasa good talk, and IN al
fairness to the Radicals it may be said
that as far as a ward meeting is concern
cd, they did themselves proud IN the
Fifth ward last night. Before CLOSING
this report it might do to say, that 1t had

Davies would maui Wilson on his We'd
