THIRD WARDERS.
The Democrats of the Loyal
Third In an Enthusi-
astic Mood.
DR.. Ames Makes a Characteristic
Address and ArOuses Great
Enthusiasm.
Shaking the Dry Bones-The Hypocrites Of
the Republican Party Shown Up.

The Third ward Cleveland and Hendricks
club held an enthusiastic meeting at their
headquarters on Plymouth avenue last night.
The atten dance filed the hall, and many
new members we're enrolled. 1t was voted
that Hon. &C. Merriman be requested to adj
dress the club next Wednesday night.
DIR. AMEs' ADDRESS.
DR.. A. A. Ames made an excellent ad
dress, and was frequently interrupted by APP
plause. He spoke particularly upon the per-
sonal liberty question, and scored the Re
publican Legislators and the Republican city
council without stint.
In speaking of the methods resorted
to by Republicans to elect their ticket the
speaker said:
have seen voters driven from the Harves-
ter works by the score with the Republican
whip cracking over their shoulders and
ballots were placed in their hands-ballots
which these laboring men working in the
Harvester works loathed-but they were COM
manded to vote them or receive their dis
missal. These men were heads of families
and it was question of bread and butter
The doctor recited the ridiculous scenes
and incidents connected with the Repuoli-
can county convention. He said it was
circus, circus composed of clowns. LCheers
and laughter The Republican party meets
with its great success upon the spells system,
| and they can afford to distribute money to
carry primaries. This is necessary because
that grand old party is split in the middle,
and it is so rotten that the stencil is terrible.
| Applause 1 think it was cut with cheese
knife, and 1 can only compare the
party split with this knife to
limburger cheese. Laughter. Do you
know of any laws recently passed for the
protection of the poor man! No! These
laws which our legislators have passed are
passed solely for the protection of the wealthy
classes-the manufacturers and great corpo-
rations and monopolies. 1t has been said,
and take this public occasion to deny 1t,
that moved from the Fifth to the Fourth
ward for the purpose of seeking the nomina-
ton to the legislature. l am not seeking office,
nominations from both parties, and money
would be no inducement. 1 cannot afford
to run for any office, so much as would
like to take three tined pitch fork and
throw ''the rascals out'' Understand now,
1 am not candidate. Now 1 want to con-
jure you, don't accept anything
from these men who are running
for the legislature. They will
tell one man they are for prohibition and
then they will go to the corner
saloonkeeper and promise to work for the
whisky interest. They have no Integrity,
you must know they lie to you. These office
seekers cannot be trusted. Select honest
men on your ticket, the Democratic ticket.
) Nominate an honest, intelligent laboring
, man who have your real interests at heart as
well as you have. The old Jeffersonian
principle was first to inquire is he honest
and second is he competent.
Among Office holders is most
deplorable amount of hypocrisy. The poor
man is entitled to just as much considera-
, ton as is the man who counts his money by
the thousands or by the millions. There is
another cardinal point. The question should
3 be asked, SIS the man hypocrite!"
To illustrate the hypocrisy l will cite to
you that during the fair week on the grounds
. which are outside the patrol district, liquor
! was sold, and they were not molested. On
the outside of the fence was poor German,
who saw the sale Of liquor on an extern
sive scale on the fair grounds,
and he thought that TO him was presented an
opportunity to make few dollars for the
: support of his large family. He purchased a
key of beer, but had not offered it for sale q
half hour before the police dropped on him,
/, , and he was taken off to the calaboose. Il
was because this man was poor that the
mayor arrested him, but the others were not
disturbed. Is this hypocrisyl will cite
| another instance. poor woman

MAYOR and said: ~ am a poor
woman struggling to support large family,
, | am a woman and can't harm anybody.
a want to sell a little beer" The mayor re-
q piled: ''No, can't have it. you may sell
= pop but no liquor" The woman went home
g and put in stock OF pop and ginger ale,
on the opposite side of the street was a man
selling liquor of all kinds without a license.
Pop is not popular drink, and as matter
of course the poor woman's business was
not prosperous, she went to the mayor
T again and said / can't stand this, and she
explained that her neighbOr was doing al
the business because he sold liquor. The
mayor sat and reflected sageIy for nor1en:
and rejoined: Go back and open your bach
door and sell what you pleose all on the
quiet.
THE MAYORS LoosNEss.
The mayor mas failed to issue proclama.
ton to close saloons on election day, and he
is liable to fine under the state
law in $1,000 aud Imprisonment
sixty days. Now l esteem the
mayor as gentleman, but as he has started

pay his fine as the poor saloonkeeper docs
Give to the old goose some OF the sauce hG

[Cheersl.
There are rumberless laws on the books
which it is not intended to en-
force. 1t is in the power Of
which undertakes to run into the city or

which was enacted only for the protection o.
the people and not intended to be enforced
except when found necessary to protect the
interests of the people.
