ROUSING RALLIES.
GOODE AND AYLETT At THE SKATING
RIM.
Wise and the WorlSingmen Wake
Up Wicl<ersville and
Rockets.

One of the largest and most enthusi-
astic meetings of the campaign was that
given under the auspices OF the Clay
Ward Actives at the Skating Kink last
night. The stage was neatly decorated,
and two large gasoline jets lighted IL up
perfectly. Professor Kessnich furnished
the music. and outside large bon-ilres
called attention to the meeting. g. Nad-
DIV Wilde, ward superintendent and presi-
dent of the club, presided, and introduced
as the first speaker the Hon. John Goode
Mr.. Goode opened his speech by com
paring the record Of the Democratic ad-
ministration with that of the Republican,
which had preceded it. He showed how
under Republican rule we had borne
large burden of national taxes and had
received no return therefrom in the mat
ter of offices; that now we had Curry In
Spain; Maurv in United States OF Column
bia Kelley in Egypt, or he hoped in Iur-
kew: Withers in Hong Kong. He did not
wish TO see Virginia disgraced by the
polluting touch of Malone Republicanism,
and begged all good Democrats to be true
10 themselves, their country, their State,
and city.
Mr.. Goode was loudly applauded during
and at the end of his admirable speech.
The next speaker was the Hon. W. *.
Avlett This gentleman opened his
speech by saying that nothing short OF
being dead six weeks and buried three
more would have prevented his attending
the meeting He had just returned from
the country, and said that outside the city
the contest was between Wise and Wad-
dill Mulen-being entirely unknown lie
declared, if necessary it was better to 90
down with banners flying than to sneak
around while the fight was in progress.
He didn't blame Waddill and Mullen for
wanting to 90 to Congress; in fact" he
said, Il had a devilish strong hankering
after the place myself He proved sat
isfactOrily that a vote to Waddill was
half vote TO Mullen, as far as George Wise
was concerned. He closed with strong
appeal to his audience to do their duty
as Democrats, and to leave the rest to
God and Grover Cleveland.
At the close of his remarks Colonel
Aylett was presented with a handsome
basket of flowers; cheer after cheer filled
the building, and it was some time before
the speaking could proceed.
The third and last speaker of the even
ing was J. Randolph Tucker Jr. Mr..
Tucker stated that he had just arrived to-
day from Hanover and had yet TO see the
first white man who was going to vote Tor
Mullen. He believed the same OF every
county in the district. 1t was natural, he
said, for workingmen to want candidate
of their own, but could not see how any
white wOrkingman could vote for any
man whom it is impossible to elect. Mr..
fuckers speech was to the point and
well delivered, and seemed to make
good impression.
At 1920 o'clock the meeting adjourned,
having been conceded on all hands to be
one of the best of the whole campaign.
Fulton to the Front.
The Fulton Democratic Club had a
large meeting at the corner of Seventh
and Louisiana avenue last night.
The people were addressed by Hon. ii.
J.. Carter, Messrs. F. j. Reilly, Joseph M.
Shelton and John W. Graves, and Hon.
George ID. Wise.
The right spirit was manifested, and the
speakers had a thoroughly sympathetic
audience. Fulton expects to do her
whole duty at the polls next Tuesday.
Fulton will send large delegation to
the meeting at the county courthouse
tomorrow night.
Ham Hall Hard-Hltters.
Last night the Republicans of Madison
Ward held meeting at Ham Hall to
make preparations for election-day. The
attendance was entirely Of the cOlored
persuasion, and peace and harmony
reigned supreme until Austin Burrell OBJ
iected to the appointment of certain
party as a ticket-holder next Tuesday.
Austin is superintendent of Madison
Ward, and claimed the right to be heard.
Sam Clarke took exception to his re-
marks, and brought him to order by lay
ing him out with a neatly delivered blow
in the mouth.
The meeting adjourned without the
formality of a motion, and Burrell had
Clarke arrested for "'busin and 'saultin'
him. Officer Walton made the arrest,
and Clarke was recognized for his appear
ance at the Police Court this morning.
