THE CAMPAIGN CHIPS.
A ROusing Rally in the Eleventh
Ward.
THE SCANDINAVIAN CLUB MEETS.
The Meetings to be Held in the Different
Wards During the Week-0ther
Announcements.

Without doubt, the most enthusiastic
political meeting of the present campaign
). was that held in the Eleventh ward last
night. The capacious meeting house, in
which the club meets, was crowded to over
flowing and many had to remain standing,
while few couldnot gain admittance at
all, for want of room.
Messrs J. NJ. Handory and H. A. Tuck
EFT rendered duet in pleasing way and
were warmly applauded.
Professor ]. H. Paul, the speaker of the
evening, was presented by Chairman
4 Done. Hew received with applause and
proceeded to notice a leading campaign
Document of the Liberal party. The Lib
erals set forth in this document how That
& the platform of the Peoples party was
formulated in secret conclave OF
the dukes, earls and barons" of
: the Peoples party, and, as us
ual, the masses fall in line. The
document must certainly have been written
1 for consumption abroad, and not for home,
where the fact of how the People got up
their platform is owell known. 1t was no
secret in this ward, or any other, when the
people met and elected their delegates for
the convention which made the platform;
it was not in secret session that this con-
vention met. Everything was open and
open and straightforward way. With the
Liberals, in formulating their leading ar
ticles and document, it is far otherwise;
they in fact, do the very thing they accuse
the Peoples party of doing. The central
committee of the Liberal party, composed
of two or three men, have written the
document in which they tell the falsehood
alluded to about the Peoples party plat
form, and no general sanction or right was
ever given to them beforehand. In the
Liberal ranks the rdbble is governed by the
one or two officious leaders, and what they
say or do the masses, with their usual
stupidity, accept without further thought
ers seek to hide their own posi-
ton by accusing the Peoples party
of being the duped followers of a few.
The speaker. then referred to the pretensions
ofLiberals, concerning schools, as,referred
to Ia their document The figures show
who are the supporters OF the district
schools The Liberals are the common
supporters of denominational schools;
sixty five per cent. it is shown, of the
children of the Peoples party are at
tendants of the district schools, and but
thirty per cent, of the children of the Lib
eral party go there. And yet these Lib
erals tell US what they will do with the
district schools in the way of lettering
their condition, and cite as an example,
the Twentieth school district. No better
example could be given of what they would
do, as the speaker showed. They have
run a fine and flourishing school-for so it
was before they came in power-into a
small and insignificant affair, as compared
with the school formerly kept there. The
speaker was warmly applauded during his
speaking, and his logical conclusions were
listened to with great interest.
After fine and well-played tune by the
drum corps, Hon. E. G. Woolley, of the
Peoples central committee, addressed the
club. The numbers present and the en-
thusiasm displayed by the Eleventh ward
surely should make any patriotic person
feel happy. If meetings of the present
kind continue it would be well for the club
ia make arrangements to meet in the As
sembiy hall or some other large building.
The Peoples 2 Irty platform of principles
as shown by Prof. Paul, are not like the
Liberal's-founded on falsehood. We eX-
pect to say nothing or do nothing but what
we know to be strictly true. The Peoples
party is an old party, audit was always for
principles of right and truth it existed be-
fore the Liberals ever came here and it
will continue to exist when the Liberal
party is no more. Great applause.
The Relief society of the Eleventh ward
preSented a large, handsome, national flag
to yAe club. 1t was presented by Mrs.
F2ancis Armstrong, with most apprOpri-
ate speech; after the close of which hearty
cheers and prolonged applause were given.
second banner, on which was inscribed
1.-THE Constitution and Our Rights" was
presented, amid enthusiasm, by Miss Con-
land. in behalf of the Young Ladies' Mu-
tual Improvement association of the ward.
The Primary association presented
third banner, 1t being small, handsome
national flag. 1t was presented in lovely
way and worked the feelings Of the con-
gregation to high point. A sweet featured
little girl was dressed as the Goddess Of
Liberty and stood holding the flag i'll fine
view of all, while Miss Grace Freeze, an
other little girl, recited an appropriate re
citation. Great applause and loud cheers
followed this last presentation.
Z The chairman, Mr.. Willard Done, re-
piled to the speeches made in presenting
the banners, and heartily thanked the asso-
Citations IN behalf of the club.
The Eleventh ward marching club was
out il fine uniforms and lighted torches.
They presented a fairy-like scene in
their parade and firing of sky rockets and
other fireworks after meeting.
The Scandinavian club had another NAM
moth meeting last night in the Thirteenth
ward assembly ball The principal speak
ers were Hon. Heber J. Grant and Mr.. A.
w Winberg, who were listened to with
marked interest. The pointed speech of
Mr.. Grant on Liberal management and
carpet bagging was enthusiastically re
ceived Mr.. Alfred Nilsson rendered an
excellent recitation in the Swedish Ian
guage, and two comical short narratives in
provincial dialects. Among the musical
paSts of the programme was a banjo and
glifSar duet by Messrs. n. Johansen and ].
HalVorsen; q number by the brass band
"Norden," a quartette by ladies of the
Scandinavian choir, and 1.-THE Old Maids
Song" given by Miss Hilda Johansen. At

the finest in town, will be presented.
