chair and L. B. Elwood acted as secretary,
The speakers seemed bent upon the one idea
OF imbuing the audience with the impression
that II DR.. AInes was elected mayor the large

ated for city improvements would be worth.
lessly squandered and spent in furtherance OF
whisky interests. That law ard order would
like physic' be thrown to the dogs. That DR..
Ames was incapable, and that ne would ruin
the city. The addresses generally were
logical and In many respects the
meeting partook of the character
of.the memorial service over the corpse of its
candidate rather than that OF qualification
over his nomination. -
Gen. Nettleton opened the ball. he made q
vituperative attack upon this Democratic can
yass, stigmatizsd it as gin movement, and
likened lis success unto death, dealing powder
mills next door to every respectable citizen in
the city. It was horrible, most horrible.
Judge Rea made the oratorlcal effort Of the
evening. His was gentlemanly and polished
speech, euloglzing Loring, but saying naught
against Ames and Satterlee.
Elwo0d Corser declared Ames' inability to
ell the Office of mayor. II elected the police
force would be deaf dumb and blind sI.a
hefailed to gam the attention OF his hearers,
who INDUCED 10 little byplay and private con-
versaton much to his discomfort and annoy
ance.
Col. King wished everybody to understand
that there were three parties IN the field, law
and order party, gin and destruction party,
and an ice water party, and the latter was work
ing to an end which would give them gin In
their ice water.
Geo. A. Bracket did not think Loring would
be elected unless the Republican voters came
out en- masse. The Democrats had engaged
every carriage in the city, even though no one
was yet nominated They mean business. II
he had the power he would wipe whisky
out of existence with one fell stroke.
j. B. Gilfillau responded to call and spoke
at some length upon politicians becoming in.

The masses Of the psople are right and the
majority rules. Hc thought the Temperance
movement was apt to mislead some Repub-
Leans to the defeat OF the Republicans and
should be watched. -tsi--A1
William Grimshaw was the next speaker.
He believed every Republican was aware that
the election OF LOring was not certainty. 1t
was claimed by come earguite Republicans
that lie would be elected by 1900
majority and Others by round majority.
He wished to be frank. He could assure his
hearers that the Republicans never were so
weak as at the present time. That the Demo-
Gratis never were 50 strong, aud the temper.
ance people SO foolish. When he spoke Of
temperance, he meanttha called temperance
people, the fanatics, not the real temperance
people, who had good sense. he was one OF
the latter. He was fully aware that there were
weaknesses In the Republican ranks which
would be difficult indeed to strengthen unto q
victory. The chairman OF The Democratic
committee had told him that 800 voters OF the
Fourth ward had petitioned The Democratic
committee to nominate certain Democrat for
aldermen pledging themselves 10 vote for him
H they did he should vote for Loriug simply
because he was the nominee OF the Republican
party - s.~-,s-s -
. Chas. W. johnson thought i would require
something more than speeches to elect Loring
and he would therefore devote his time to
working night and day to accomplish his
election, o. A. Pray next took the floor and
made a short speech upon the finances OF the
city. DR.. Ames is not QUALIFIED to ill the po-
sition, while Loring is great fnancier.
- Leander Gordon was next called out. He
said that inasmuch as the Dem ocrats had Sc
cured every carriagefn the city the Repnbli-
cans must turn ont with thsir private vehi-
cles. =.
Scrap Iron Bill wanted ever yone to know
where he stood. He had been long convinced
that Loring YVES the man he was going to
vote for.
q DR.. Ceith was the next speaker. He turned
his attention to the Temperance party and
criticized it's action. He said they were doing
worse than deserving the cause in the face of
the enemy il they did not vote for LoriDg.
% Ole Guam wanted the liquor license placed
at such high price that mos. saloon keepers
would be driven from the business.
