plause If this movement will awaken
the fact in their minds that the primaries
are the very foundations of good govern
ment, then great good will have been
accomplished. Applause They now think

MIR. Funston in an eloquent speech full
of sound sense and patriotic vigor, urged
upon every anti-ring Republican to do his
full duty to-day, to act as if the whole
| responsibility rested upon him. His speech
was one of the ringing kind, not mere par
| tisan wordiness, but an earnest appeal to
| men not to trife with the liberties of the
people by making farce of the means OF
ascertaining the popular will At its con-
| clusion the whole audience arose and gave
| three hearty cheers for THE Chairman OF
of the Independent Republican eau
| GUS" 1t was moved and unani-
mously carried that the Chairman
and Secretary be continued in office, with
power to call the anti-ring anti boss, fair
| play, Fourth Ward Republicans together
again should they deem it wise to do so.

| enthusiasm, men turning to each other
and grasping hands and congratulating
each other on the courage and disposition
manifested to fight odious bossism to the
| death.
