ers. led by this man Kiefer. kiefer
says: Come along, boys; we'll rob this
proud municipality and divide the
plunder.' In every department." con-
cluded the chairman, "the people of ST.
Paul have the best service possible"
The next speaker was Hon. John III.
Ives, who vigorously arralgned the
shabby and flimsy methods of the Re-
publicans in the present campaign. I'm
this demagogue Kiefer'S dire extrem-
ity," said Mr. Ives, she has raised the
cry we must appeal to the laboring
men, and the next moment he made the
remark that there were twelve men
working on the streets, when four could
do the work. As a friend of the labor
ing man, he would, | suppose, at once
discharge the eight extra men
The only stock in trade the
Republicans have in this
campaign is the cry of 'the gang"
Now. who are the gang? They don't
say who they mean. and If they refer
to those men who have taken a lively
interest in the Democratic party in the
past it is merely an insult to these men.
They haven't anything to talk about
and so try to create the idea that there is
gang. What is there of this campaign
except the promises that Col. Kiefer is
daily bartering away? Do not be fooled
by this mans promises. He is not
in ii position to fulfill his
promises. There is too much good
sense in the people of st. Paul to elect
this man to the office for which he is so
anxiously seeking. Kiefer is like his
satanic majesty. who took Christ into a
high mountain and promised him the
whole earth. Think of this; offering
the whole earth as 2 bribe when he
hadn't tax title to foot of 1t. This is
about the state of Col. Kiefer, who Oc-
cupieS about the same position as his
satanic majesty on the occasion referred
to-" Mr.. Ives concluded his address
with brief explanation of the Aus
ITALIAN election law.
Judge McCafferty followed Mr.. Ives
with a stirring speech which met with
the enthusiastic appreciation OF the
large crowd. Aid. Jonn Gehan's sery-
ices as alderman were touched upon.
and the shouts of the crowd proclaimed
that Aid. Gehan was prime favOrite
in his ward. aid. Gehan." he said,
'.has represented this ward in manner
that is a credit TO the ward, to the city
and to himself, Why is so much more
interest displayed in the affairs of this
ward? Why are four OF five columns i'll

got great thing Oh John
when they publish letter that shows
the goodness and honesty of the man.
There's nothing but good in that letter.
don't believe John Gehan would do
a mean thing" Then the crowd
nj, CIR nj
man stirred up the crowd further by
remarking John Gehan amt built that
way" "You will be comforting an
honor upon the city and upon your
selves by re-electing John f. Gehan."
Tie Judge then referred to the conf
position of the Democratic city con-
. entiou and made comparison by no
means fiattering to the Republican
gathering held week later. There's
no need of saying anything against this
man Kiefer," said Judge McCafferty.
mo comparison can be made between
the noble gentleman nominated by the
Democrats and this man Kiefer. Ii the
people wanted this man Kiefer for
mayor he would not need to be running
from house to house and barn to barn
asking for votes" Comptroller Roche
was eulogized, and the Democratic
nominees for municipal judges, Judge
Cory and John Twohy Jr., were
praised, aud the judge said that if
there were 300 inmates of the work
house, $50 of them could be got Ou

never placed there properly because
MIR. Reese didn't file a complaint against
them. Why didn't Judge Burr direct
Reese to draw complaint against
them? Because Reese didn't know how.
We want man OH the criminal bench
who will temper Justice with mercy.
There isn't city of the size CT st. Paul
in the United States that draws $4,000
out of the people in nine months In the
shape of tines." The judge closed with
an eloquent tribute to the American
citizen. The speech was received with
the greatest enthusiasm, and was all
able and impressive effort.
William McLeagll was intro
dueed. as regenerated citizen. He
arragned Henry Hinkens, and said that
Mr.. Hinkens skipped to Canada to save
going to war during the rebellion. "Mr.
Hinkens," he said. lis posing as all
He wants eight hours a day for every

explained how MIR. Hinkens detrauded

policemen of st. Paul were a lot of lazy
Ioafers, who weren't worth $50 month.
want men, not Cinnamon, to protect
my daughters. and l don't agree with
MIR. HinkenS."
E. G. Ives made good speech on the
campaign from labor standpoint, and
showed conclusively that the Demo
cratic platform was the best for the la
boring man. 'Dick" McNamee was
given good send-off, much to the pleas
ure of the audieuce. j. +. Curtis spoke
for the cOlored men. and David Fitz-
gerald indorsed everything that had
been said by the previous speakers.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, and the meeting adj
journed:

tatingly indorse r. A. Smith and the entire
