W6Td
by DIR. AmeS and Col. Glenn
The largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing of the campaign thus far was helu Ias'
evening at the West side Turner hah' III
lam Ditunan called the meeting 10 oroer a1
& o'clock and introduced DR.. Ames' VINO
smoke for over an hour on the issues Oh the
campaign and reviewing in an hhpartial
way the Republican administration Tor the
past two wears. The doctor was heartly
greeted and frequently interrupted by cheers
and annIouse. Among other things he said:
when be,vas first elected mayor III 1856 he
maid Il visit 10 a number OF the larger cities
of the East, and made study OF the Vari-
ous departmeuts. lie also noticed the differ
emf METHODS of jobbery and schemes for cor
rupting officials, and returning has endeav-
ored to profit by his observations, and above
all other things 10 give an honest administra-
ton. He believed he had succeeded, and chal-
leneed any one to point single act OF his as
mayor which smacked of corruption. He
thought Il law should be enacted which should
make the crime of malfeasance in office a
crime punishable by imprisonment from one
TO 100 years. If capital continues 10 Cypress
labor in the past revolution is inevitable. II
the workingmen, however, will organize and
stand shoulder to shoulder for their rights,
this calamity may be averted, and
in this way only. referring
TO TIE administration of Mayor
Pillsbury, he said that the trouble with Mr..
Pilisbury is that he has gagged his aImlnis-
tration by his former experience as mayor OF
Concord n H., sleepy little town OF lew
thousand inhabitants and has been bampered
10y unwise promises made during the cam
paign, which he had found Impossible TO
carry out. Unfortunately, too, he mas not
been able TO give personal attention 10
certain matters of great Importance, and as
a result some designing persons nave
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF HIM
TO work their own acknowledgements. he es-
teemed Mayor PilSbury very highly and did
not hold him personally responsible for GER
tain matters which have caused serious dis
satisfaction. As 10 the candidacy OF Henry
{. Morse for the Democratic nomination OF
mayor, the doctor expressed his intention OF
giving him his earnest and heartiest support,
provided he proves TO be the choice Oh MS
party.
Col. VI. W. Glenn was next introduced.
He said he was not candidate Tor any OF
fee, but wished TO make certain eXplana-
tons.
He then referred to the manner in which
designing Republicans, aided by certain
Democrats, had occasiOned misunderstand-
Ing between himself and DIR. Ames which had
led 10 bitter feeling. He was sure now that
this had been done 10 separate them and was
the result of a deliberate plot. 1t had taken
him twenty-five months TO find this out, but
now he knew it he would endeavor 20 make
amends by giving his friend Ames his cordial
support He had been led by autocrats, but
now. thank God, he was back with the Dem
ocrats.
The colonel referred to the Pillsbury adj
ministration sarcastically, saying that the
mayor was around about six hours a day
and that during the other eighteen the city
was in the hands police officials. lie also
took occasion to denounce as SANDER the
statement made by certain Republican pa
perS that combination had been formed
looking to his appointment as postmaster
Judge Lars VI. Rard was the third
speaker, he gave the assurance that the
majority of the Scandinavians and working
people look to DR.. Ames as their friend and
the man who can give an honest and fair
administration of the affairs of
the city. The attendance at the
meeting was surprisingly large, as
only few hours notice had been given,
the large hall being well filled, the speeches,
which can be looked to as sounding the key
note of the campaign with facts and logi-
cal conclusions instead of platitudes, and
the enthusiasm with which they were
greeted indicates with no uncertain sound
that this year the Democrats are united to
a man.
