to the Questions at Issue.
An object lesson. President Warner,
with satchel in hand. filled with cotton
hosiery, WOODEN hosiery, silk hosiery,
cotton suspenders, silk suspenders,
cotton handkerchiefs, silk handker-
chiefs, and almost every other conceiy-
able article of general use that has been
affected by the Mckinley bill. enter
tanned the Fifth Ward Cleveland club
last evening. The lesson was so plain
that any Schoolboy could understand it,
and in passing the ARTICLES among the
audience, intelligence and understand
ing could be read in every courtenance.
He detailed facts and figures, and
showed I'D our congressman in anything
but an enviable light.
William Koch, secretary of the club,
was the next speaker and devoted his
time TO the county ticket. He could
speak appropriately Oh the subject, as
four of the candidates wele native to
the soil and had grown to manhood with
him, two of them being born and reared
in the same ward. Some people wished
Dick OCOnnor removed because he had
had office long enough. Ii he had been
faithful in the performance Of his duties,
which was atteSted to by every attorney
in the city irrespe ctive of party, why
should he be changed any more
than any laboring main, mechanic,
clerk, or any other person. in a
position of trust On responsibility who
had performed his duties satisfactorily?
A Republican candidate had ridiculed
card Of William Hanft's the other day
because he had prefiXed TO 1t the title of
captain. That title had been given to
hi lxxy H.,
use it, and the same people would give
him the title Of sheriff on Nov. next.
Charley Haas had been Strengthening all
his life, and in two weeks he would
demonstrate that he could slaughter
politicians as well as beef and dress the
carcass to the voters taste. T. ID.
OBrien was eulOgiZed, and the balance
of the county ticket placed before the
udieace.
A. j. Galbraith made an eloquent
tariff speech. stating that Lincoln had
by one stroke freed from chains 10000
negroes, and that Mckinley had gath
cred together the broken letters and
enthralled III slavery sixty-three mill
ion white people. At the worlds fair
ill 1892 would be on exhibition a sketch
which would bear the inscription, ..g.
0. D., committed suicide on account of
the passage of the Mckinley bili.''
AT this point Hank Smith moved that
Frank Gies be heard. The Grover
Cleveland of the Fifth ward took the
platform and read letter published in
an evening paper signed by former
Democrat. He scored him most I'M
mercifully, and referred to the support
which the same ward had given him
when he was candidate for city comp
troller. He then took up the county
ticket, and. in very happy vein, re-
ferred to each candidate, paying high
tribute to the noblest Roman of them
all, John b. Olivier, and the pres
ent candidate tor the legislature,
Charles Ringwald. Before the
meeting adjourned, in response to
the feeling created by Mr.. Gies' reading
of the dastardly letter, the following res
olutions were adopted by rising vote:
Whereas, there was published in the Dis
patch of last evening, Oct. %, a most scurri-
lous letter signed by NJ. j. Daily, which re-
fleets mosl disgracefuily upon every citizen
of the Fifth ward,
Resolved, That the members of thu, Fifth
Ward Cleveland club hereby deuounce both
the letter and the writer as unworthy the
confidence or respect of any respectable cit
iZen of this city; and, further. believe that
any mind from which such disreputable ar
ticle could emanate is diseased, unbalanced
and incapable Of any influence upon his fell
low man. A. d. WARNER. President
WIN. KOCH, Secretary.
