ticket in general, and especially de-
nounced the attempts of the Republican
tricksters to disfranchise the voters of
st. Paul on last Tuesday. Mr.. Hawkins,
a colored man, was then introduced in
a happy manner by President Battley,
who said that Col. Kiefer had promised
every nationality but the AfrO-American

party of promises and not performances.
George G. Alien, another colored man,
then graphically described colloQuy
with kid Republican boss, who had
tried to whip him into line.

Mr.. Poyoloni said: 1--WE have Mayor

we can rely, for one whom we do not
know and upon we are by no means
certain we can rely" This sentiment
met with the unequiv0eal endorsement
of the audience.

last night, and, as usual, it was most
enthusiastic gathering. President F.
S. Battley presided. Daniel w. Lawler
was the orator of the evening, and the
eloquent young IriShman WAS at his
best. He is one of the most accom-
plished orators of the city, and his fac
ulty of holding an audience enthraIled
was never more thoroughly demon
Strated. His reasons why the present
successful administration should be re-
tanned were unanSWerable, and ELECTED
hearty cheers of applause. He devoted
some little time TO Sam Nichols. and
convinced every nearer that a change
i'll the comptroller's Office would not be
an advisable move. John w. Willis
was called out for a short address, and
was followed by F. G. Hawkins, j. F.
Curtis and George G. Allen, all colored
voters, who made ringing Democratic
speeches.
The Democratic meeting in the First
ward last night, at the corner of East
Seventh and Bradley streets, Was a
glittering success, especially so when
contrasted in point of numbers and ell
thusiaSm with the Republican meeting
at the same place last Saturday even
ing. The hall was packed and the APP
pIause frequent. Dan Aberle was
chosen as chairman. He thanked the
meeting for the favor, and. after the
selection of 0. Taukenoff as secretary,
introduced L. B. O'Brien as the first
speaker. Mr.. O'Brien, in sensible,
eloquent and telling speech, proceeded
to discuss the situation from the stand
point of citizen, aside from being a
Democrat or member of any party. He
took the position that the citizens of
st. Paul lived together in harmony,
irrespective Of nationality or religion,
and when stranger came in and
tried to stir up diSSensions he was
turned down and the city went on in
the old parSimonious prosperous way.
He discussed the Democratic ticket
from personal standpoint, and said
for that reason it was worthy of sup
port. He then alluded to the previous
history of Democratic control of the
city as being equally worthy of perpetu-
alton. He paid tribute to A. o. Olson
as making his way to recognition in
city 5000 miles from the land of his
birth and asserted ne is worthy of
position in the council. The allusion to
Olson was met with applause. j. G.
Michael followed with an excellent
speech. When. referring to the street
car strike. he said that every working
man knew that r. A, Smith
is his friend and would justify
his course. He then illustrated
the position of the mayor at that time
by alludjng to the railroad strike in
Pittsburg in 1877, when over s7,O00O3O
worth of property was destroyed, for
which the city had to pay-taxing the
people to raise the money to pay the
railroad. He closed his speech with all
appeal to eject Olson next Tuesday.
Mr. Olson was called for, and respond
ing. was received with extended ap-
plause. He made speech that was
well received.
Pat Scannell came out in response to
calls and delivered few remarks. The
meeting adjourned with three cheers
and a tiger for the Democratic ticket.
