Numerous Meetings Seized
uled--General Gossip of
the Campaign.

There will be music by the full
orchestra at the meeting of the friends
of Matt LeithauSer and l.. E. Reed" at
Lucker's hall, corner of Margaret and
Forest streets, Dayton's bluff, this even
ing. Mr.. Leithauser is not at all in
clined to accommodate Mr.. Reed and his
hackers by stepping out OF the race, and
he spent all Of yesterday in circulating
requests to his friends to be present.
Herculean efforts have been and are
being made to pack the meeting by the
friends and hackers of the syndicate can
ddate and by great show of numbers
scare Aid. Matt into reSigning i'll favor
of Reed.
But the scheme will not work.
The meeting will not be secret one,
like that held at Wulff7s hall WedneS-
day evening, and some men who are OPP
posed to the syndicate and its candidate
will be found in the audience at the
proper time. The meeting Wednesday
evening deserves a little notice. from
the fact that it marks a new departure
in local politics, in that it was secret
meeting and none except trusty support
erS of Syndicate Candidate Reed were
allowed to enter the sacred hall. In
the first place, only Reed men were in
yited to this gathering, and when others
applied for admission they were refused
permission to enter when they failed to
give the proper password.
In view of these facts the statement
made by the syndicate candidate at the
commencement of his speech is both
amusing and ridiculous. 1t was:
am always glad 10 meet friends, and am
assured that every man in the house is a
| Reed man.
Mr.. Reeds assurances were found to
be entirely correct; his spoilers and
heelers having performed their duties
according to instructions. But slick as
some of these workers are they will
fad at this evenings meeting that
there are some Republicans i'll the Sec
ondsward who never heard Of Capt. Joe
Burger or his newspaper.
Matt Leithauser will not consent to
retire in favor of Reed, in the Second
ward fight" remarked a leading Re-
publican of that ward, yesterday. 'He
has been nominated by the Republicans
of the ward, and all the packing Reed.
Kelly d Co. can do at that meeting of
the friends of Mr.. Leithauser and Mr..
Reed tomorrow evening, will not move
him in the least. Why, Leithauser
| if he pulled out of the fight now. Of
course, as Matt is not wealthy, he might
have overtures made to him which
| would warrant this action, but he is
| determined sort of fellow, and don't
think he will bulge an inch for all the
inducements the Capital bank, the syn
dictate and wholesale grocery can hold
| out to him.
The Republican committee announce

Mass meeting at Lucker's hall, corner of
Margaret and Forest streets, Friday evening,
| April 49,

versity and Western avenues, Saturday even
| ing, April 10.

George W. Turner, of the Ninth ward,
has issued letter appointing Saturday
| evening as time for meeting COM
mittee which has been urging him to
run as an independent candidate for
alderman in the Ninth ward.
An executive committee, consisting
of John III. Ives, John w. Willis, Dan
Aberle, M. Mullane and r. L. O'Con-
nor. has been appointed by the Demo-
cratic city committee.
Oscar Johnson yesterday filed his
nomination papers with the city clerk,
and is now in the field as candidate
for alderman in the First ward.
An evening paper which has all along
tried to patch up the differences exist
ing in the Republican party in the
Ninth ward, in announcing the cam
paign club appointed by Mr.. Hinkens,
alluded to William Hillman, who APP
opponent of Mr.. Hinkens at the pr-
maries. This is not the case. Henry
Hillman is the man who received the
| largest number of votes at the Republi-
can primaries and who ought to have
received the nomination. The cam
paign committee of Mr. Hinkins is made
up as follows: FL. Larson. chairman: A.
Adams, w. Hillman, j. Williams, P.
Hogan and A. r. Jones.
Charles N. Ackers, who was NOM
mated by the Prohibltionists for judge
of the municipal court, has notified the
city clerk that he is not candidate for
that position, and that his name must
not go upon the ticket. The Prohibl-
| ton ticket has been certified in the
manner required by law, and the city
clerk is in quandary over the matter.
On one side he is confronted by the law,
which commands him to place Mr..
Ackers on the ticket, and on the other
by the latter'S express command not to
do so. An interesting legal question is
thus created, the solving of which will
be awaited with interest.
The Republicans of the West Side
will meet at Liedertafel hall on Satur-
day night. when they will be addressed
by Col. Kiefer, Sam fl. Nichols, Charles
Michaud, G. E. Keller, E. r. Bryant, w.

street, has been nominated by the Pro-
hibitionists of the Eighth ward for
alderman.
A Democratic rally will be held at ia
East Seventh street this evening. Judge
Minneapolis. will assist the lacal orators
in speaking. 1t will be good meeting.

1t is an honor to be president and sec
rotary of such Democratic club as
meets weekly at Brandl's hall in the
Eighth ward. f. S. Bailey and Louis
NOrmandin were never prouder of hold
ing those positions at the meeting last
night. The hall was packed, the audi

dozen speakers made the welkin ring
with the hearty applause that their
