A MANLY POSITION.
Dr.. K. X. Amoss and the Citizens
Of the Second Ward.

Dr.. K. X. Amoss and the Citizens
Of the Second Ward.
The citizens Of the Second ward are
rising to the Importance of the forth
coming election. There was good at
tendance last evening at Democratic
meeting in Miller's hall, on Maria ave-
nue., and the enthusiasm displayed be-
speaks much for tie success of the en-
tire Democratic ticket. B. II. Schriber
delivered the speech of the evening.
He reviewed the effects of tariff legis-
iation upon the country, and in the most
conclusive style demonstrated how the
poor people were robbed. When the
tariff was established the rich people
were taxed their proper proportion.
OF money the rich people had had the
internal revenue tax transferred to the
tariff. which was largely paid by the
working people. Mr.. Schriber showed
how, by the imposition of tariff, the
people had to pay bounty to the man
ufacturer of domestic goods. His de-
nunclatiOn of the Mckinley law was
heartily applauded. Harry Holland
delivered one of his humorous charact-
eristic speeches.
DIR. E. X. AmosS, candidate for the
house OF representatives., also spoke.
The reception accorded him was most
enthusiastic. DR.. Amoss made a short,
excellent address. He explained that
while he did not seek the nomination, he
thanked them most heartily for the
honor done him, and, having agreed to
make the contest, he would do his ut
most to secure election. He had moth
Ing to say against his Republican oppo-
nent, Mr.. AmeS. He intended to make
a straight fight against him. He would
not Indulge in personalities, and what
ever was the outcome. he trusted to be
in position the day after election to
shake Mr.. Ames by the hand. He be-
lieved that it was right for the people
to have straight out-and-ont Repub-
lican and Democrat to choose from.
The people knew the history of these
two parties and they had an oppor-
side they should be represented
in the state legislature. Dir.
Amoss drew attention to the fact that
there was third candidate in the field
"a man who owed his nomination to a
clique. There was no representative
of the Second ward in that clique: it
was composed of outsiders; and these
men attempted to dictate who their rep
resentative should be. He objected to
such proceeding. He believed in the
people having full opportunity in ex-
pressing who their representative
should be, whether it was i'm the council.
in the county offices or in the
legislative halls. If he was elect
ed he would not only do his
utmost for that ward, but also for the
whole city and state. There were many
improvements that could be obtained
for the Second ward through the legis-
lature. The ward had been neglected
in the past. owing to the fact that the
representative did not reside among
them. He inStanced the Indian mounds.
These mounds were historic and, in his
opinion, the state should take hold of
this property and make state park.
This was worthy of some attention and,
while in 40 way committing himself, he.
would give it his careful consideration.
Dr.. Amoss resumed his seat amid loud
applause.
Thomas D. O'Brien, candidate for
county attorney; A. N. Nelson, candi-
date for county treasurer, and Aid. r.
w. Bot also spoke.
A successful meeting broke up amid
cheers shortly before 10 o'clock.
