nound it Was gathered large crowd.
Charles F. Fishback was the 6rst speaker

With the sentiment that political issues
should b left out Of municipal affairs.
Mem should be chosen for city Offices with
regard only for their fitness. and for this
reason he advocated the election of Harry
White for mayor. He made Z strong plea
for the Republican city ticket The Re-
publican party, with its grand history. was
worthy Of all support It vas : maxim Of
Daniel O'Connor that if you know. you
are right, you cannot b too
radical. The Democratic party had always
ben the party Of conservatism. while the
Republican party had been the party OF
.radicalism. The Republican party knew

location here would secure a outlay for
labor hers Of $2.OO. COO for digging . canal
and putting in locks. and So, 600 900 for the
navy yard. This would mean 1000, 600
days labor ct s. day. We are about to
enter upon . new scheme of legislation
under the new charter. The provisions Of
this charter placed in the hands OF the
mayor the appointment Of 1900 city en-
ployes. Suppose there were three appli-
cants for each position. This would be an
army Of 900 men seeking the mayors pat

and all this patronage given 10 the DEM
ocracy, could the Republicans hope to carry
