TIE JUMBO CLUB
Unanimously Endorses DIR. Ames--
The AIderulauic Question.


The Jumbo club Sixth ward organiza-
ton, had a rousing mass meeting at Capt.
Schafer's place last night The hall was
packed to overllowing. The first speakers
were a. ii. Mitchell, j. j. Mcliale, j. Z.
Fitzgerald, Mr.. Pool, George johnson, ia
cob Sioft and others. 4. l.. NanduZen, the
chairman of the ward Democratic commit
tee, made one of his characteristic and en-
thusiaStic speeches. lie was well received
and frequently interrupted by applause.
lie said there is Il four-cornered fight in
the bloody Sixth ward. lie was not there 10
advocate the nomination OF any individual,
but TO state Facts concerning each and every
candidate. Unless the Democratic party
combines on one man no one can or will be
elected. IF you 20 into caucus tomorrow
night united" he said, 1.-The choice OF the
caucus will represent the ward in the city
council. On the other hand, il you 90 into
the caucus divided, certain defeat may be
safely predicted" MIR. NanduZen then
turned his attention to the four Democratic
candidates and urged that no one should
neglect his party for any one individual.
He referred TO the runners which have been
circulated through the ward defmning the
character of an Official. He had traced them
down and he had happily learned that there
was no foundation whatever. lie said that il
is OF the utmost Importance TO nominate an
ward Is Republican. TaiS eau be proven b.
the election returns. There has been but one
man who has been able 10 carry he ward,
and thai man is now before Us for an in
dorsemeut. The first time he received the
nomination he was elected by the round ma
jority of 800. AGAIN he was elected by tribe
less than 200. IL was stubbornly-fougat
campaign, but he
CARRIED THE DAY
against money and influence and i'm a Republic
can ward. Ii the Democrats 20 10 the eau
Gus decided, the result VIII he that the Sixth
ward will be represented in the city council
by three Republicans. The Democrats
should realize that the man advocated by the
Republican papers is the weakest man in the
party. This is always true. The Ro pJbi-
can papers have motive in advocating any
particular man for Democratic nomination,
and that IS unquestionably 10 defeat him ut
the polls, because he is the weakest man.
Hon. Matthew Walsh was loudly called
for. At first he hesitated, but finally he
came forward and made one of the finest
speeches OF his political career. Mr.. Walsh
expressed his gratitude and pleasure, be-
cause he felt that the meeting was held i'm
the interests of the most. He regretted
that the headquarters of the club had been
removed from the Sixth to the Fifth ward,
although yet a purely Sixth ward Organiza-
ton.
We have had bitter experiences Of discord,
discomfort and disunion. Let US cement our
feelings so as to insure success, and secure
TO US the support of the full strength of our
party.
1t is a well-known fact that am a candidate
for reelection. / will say Tor myself, as Tor
tue o her candidates in the field that we are
not responsible for the position we have TO
assume. There is no man who can assume
per see to be self constituted candidate.
We are candidates at the solicitation of our
friends.
Mr.. Walsh argued that all the energies and
efforts of the club, as well as the party
should be exercised towards the election of
the man in whose hands the destinies
of the city must rest. No doubt if anybody
will pay attention To gossip they will never
succeed and the party will never become har-
moniZed. Ii is time personal feeling should
be dropped as far as the candidates are con-
cerned. l have been accused OF AN intention
to pack Caucus against DR.. Ames The
man does not i've who dares to come TO me
and say so. Applause. ] have served as
DR.. AMES' LIEUTENANT
in his administration Of affairs, and IL Dr.
Ames is satisfied with my course, certainly
you ought not to be dissatisfied. i will say in
closing that # DIR. Ames gets the election the
city viii not 20 to ruin.
j. p. Fitzgerald was called for by the
president. but he had nothing to fay further
than that he believed that DR.. Ames is
the only man who can be elected.
Jacob Stoft declared himself for DR.. A. \.
Ames but he did not think there is any
gossip which could haNS any bearing on the
question. There is noparticular discord in
the party. He, like Aid. Walsh. coun-
selled harmony, upon the suppositiOn that
if no discord was manifested in the caucus
the election of a Sixth ward alderman is
certain.
Dr.. Ames was called for but it was ex-
planned that he was in the First ward adj
dressing the German citizens. A.
II. Mitchell wanted vote
taken, and John Campbell moved that
a rising vote be taken. and every man in
the house arose 1t was unanimous. John
Campbell said that he felt confident that
DR.. Ames is the only man in the city who
can carry the election as against any candi-
date the Republicans may nominate. DR..
Ames is the only man with the experience
and executive ability. He quoted Journal
authority as against certain aspirant for
aldermanic honors. and he asked the older
candidates to withdraw from the council
and allow the younger men to get 10 the
front, as he said. He called for vote on
the aldermanic question.
L. l.. Vandusen again took the floor.
He said with all due respect to the young
Democracy, he wished to assure the
club that he knew who resided in the Sixth
ward. lie did not want to see a good
young man inundated on the sacriicial
altar. 1t is not the young men who have
made the party. 1t is the older work
ers-those who put their shoulders
to the wheel and do the work.
Taking vote will not decide the issue.
The chances are that if the young man re-
ceives majority of the meeting, il will not
insure his nomination, but it will have a
tendency to create a fatal discord, and he
will be defeated.
Mr.. Campbell again jumped ND to argne
the cause of the young Democracy. and
asked the club TO support the workingmen.
Mr. Vandusen agreed that the working
men should be sustained, but the candidate
should be man known to be in sympathy
with the workingmsn. and that man we
now have.
j. j. McHale argued harmony. He had
not been aware that there was any discord.
In the interest of unanimity he wished to
move that the Jumbo club pledge itself to
