Arc lander Roasts Bradish and
johnson as Boodlers.
About 600 voters of the Second and
Ninth wards. principally of the Ninth
ward, met at the Republican head
quarters on Monroe street, near Broad
way, last night. The meeting was purely
nOn-partsan one. and was called for
the purpose of discussing the political
issues of the day. After short prelude
byC.J Buell. upon some OF the inc on
gruities of the Mckinley bill,J. W. Arc
lander mercileSSly scored two of the Re-
publican candidates for the Thirlieth
legislative district. Senator" E. NJ.
Johnson and Representative" j. H.
Bradish. Had either of those gentle
men been present their ears would prob
ably have tingled upon listening to the.
anathemaS that fell from the speakers
lips. He tore their aldermanic records
to tatters. and showed that they did
blindly whatever their master, Thomas
Lowry, babe them.
Mr. Arctander was introduced as a man
W no would discuss the local issues and
candidates. and shake up things generally"
He objected, he said, to party distinctions
and favored voting for the best men, ire
spective of party utilization. This is the first
year that there has been such an opportunity,
and this change has been brought about by
the Australian system of balloling. ''And
you can tell your boss, or any one who wants
to buy you, to go plump to hades!'' he
shouted. Bad men were in all parties. They
are not necessarily murderers or thieves, but
they are those who sell their convictions to
monopolies and corporations. He had no
use for q man who opposed the cause of
labor and who was the tool of monopolies.
For the state ticket he cared but little, but
what he did want was that the voters should
attend to legislative and local candidates.
The fact that Judge Wilson is corporation
attorney does not disqualfy him for the gov
ernorship. 1t is the actions of the man, not
his environments, that should be considered.
A man who votes for Wilson, Merriam
his choice ANY Scandinavian who
supports Snider for congress after he has
insulted the scandinavians and Irish by
saying that they should be DISTINGUISHED if
the negroes are, deserves to be taken by the
the neck and kicked as far as he can be seen.
Excuse me. but my Scandinavian blood
got riled." said he in explanation.
The laboring man should see that no man
| who sat in the last council should be re-
turned. Brand them, bury them,'' he cried,
but DON'T return them"
He then paid his respects to the legislature,
where honest men should be sent.
"How about Bradish!" asked voice.
"1'll attend TO HIM later
The lower classes should attend to the
election of members of the legislature. He
had nothing against Jamison, who was a true

reach. He had been tried and found not
wanting. The same could not be said of
Johnson and Bradish. Mr.. Alexander then
referred to the memorable strike when
Lowry issued his order directing that no man
belonging to any labor organization should
be employed by him, and he called
upon the people to remember the prom
Uses made at the indignation meeting
on Bridge square. when they agreed
to down all who supported Lowry. He
called upon all to vote against Bradish and
johnson. The record of johnson and Brad
ish was taken from the council proceedings
gotten up by City Clerk Haney. whom he
characterized as a
Tool of These Two Men.
