forgotten that, they were attending
a Republican meeting and were
expected to. shout for Henry

walls. Henry Hellman, the defeated
Republican candidate for the alder

prominent by his absence. A few of his
followers and friends were present, but
they positively declined to ''enthuse"
for Mr.. Hinkens and either maintained
a sullen silence or helped the Demo-
Gratis present yell forJOhn F.Gehan, the
Democratic candidate.
The meeting was opened by the cleo
ton of John Hannen as chairman and
John Mas as secretary. Darius
Kkero Reese was then discerned in

eagerly for chance to talk. and he was
called for. After revamping part OF
his old convention speech Mr.. Reese
delved into the scriptures and pro-
duced the following extraordinary
duotation: ssWhile the light holds
dut to burn the vilest sinner may
return." The . application intended
wasn't quite evident and Darius closed
by relating story too vile for publlca-
ton. Henry Johns was next called for,
and he too leaped into the arena ready
to do battle for his cause. "You see
another kid before you. A man who
, does not belong to the gang of Republi-
cans who have misled you in times
past" After narrating story to the
effect that one of his best clients

began to lnterrogate the audience and
it didn't take him long to find out that
he had struck meeting which contained
a host Of friends of Aid. Gehan. Johns
speech was better received than that of
Kikero Reese because it was not all filth
and vituperation. q

can get is from the Democratic GLOBE"
The Pioneer and the Dispatch were
criticised, and the speaker tried to speak
a good word for Sam Nichols. He al,

the audience remarking that he
(Niehols) had ''lived too high" YES
he has lived too high in supporting the
principles of the Republican party
concluded Johns.
After the conclusion of the "kid'' eff.
forts Henry Hinkens, the Republican
nominee for alderman, was called to the
platform and declared that he wasn't
s.Jim Hills man." He declared that he
only worked his men ten hours and a
half day, with ten minutes extra,
which he returned to them Saturday.
He declared that he would do his best
for the ward If elected. Henry Johns

that he would cart the clerk of the SUI

thew were assembled Friday evening
for the purpose of naturalizing voters.
