CHICAGO, ILL, DC 'ober 25,-A meet

announced to be held at No. IS Hal
stead street yesterday afternoon to rat
lily the county, Congressional and
State candidates of the so-called
Omitted Labor Patty" The attend
auce was very limited. One j. P.
Ducey made the principal speech.
After advocating the Claims OF the can
didates in question, Ducey alluded to
the condemned anarchists. He said:
Last week the Car Of Russia killed
one OF his officers. Will he be brought
before q couItP No. Last week Phil
Armour spent $4,000 a day for his
Pinkerton men and killed one poor,
inofensive man. Will he be brought
before q court2 No. Why, II Jesus
Chrlst was brought before Judge Gary
he would be convicted, Just as were
those Their Christs now In Jail. This
is but beginning of the end. The
present course OF this government
must be stopped, If we have to take
il by the throat and choke out its foul
life. LiIgy was arrested for making
bombs. Why not arrest the man
who made the Winchester rifle
with which Armour murdered
Begley last week. The rope is
already grown with which capital will
attempt to hang you and me il we at
tempt TO tell the truth. But We will
tell the truth and we will not be
hung. But il necessary Armour will
be-" "And a Pinkerton," said voice
from the crowd.) 1.-THE truth will be
told" continued the speaker, "aud |

tell it on the Lake Front next Sunday,
II do 30 in front OF Calling gun and
have q rope around my neck. II |
have but one minute TO live l will
spend it there. l am more radical
than l speak, aud when the time
comes l and every other anarchist will
be as radical as is neceI sary." The
audience listened in silence to Ducey's
epeeOh, and the meeting soon came Ia
a close. The Lake Front referred ia

the matter to Secretary Lamar, with
recommendation that he request the

vacate. The parties assaulted went to
Springfield and swore out warrants
against their prosecutors before the
