Hon. E. c. Efart, candidate for the State
Senate, was the first speaker introduced.
He made one of his characteristic eio-
quent efforts, and was loudly cheered.
He devoted considerable of his remarks
to the motives of the Peoples party. He
had no doubt, he said, that there was
many an honest and earnest man who
had enlisted in that party, believing that
1t was genuine movement for the gen
eral Improvement OF the country. But
they had made a leap into the dark. The
alleged third party was simply a
tool of the Democracy. The sub
terfuge had been unmasked and
the evil designs of the "side-skow''
were now apparent to all. The De-
mocracy was to be given credit for its
cleverness in the play, but the mine had
been sprung too soon, and the result
would be disaster to the conspirators.
He predicted that the votes the masque-
raiders had been counting as their own
under the guise of reform" would come
to the support of the only party that had
been forever loyal 10 the people and the
country-the Republican party.
Major w. a. Anderson, candidate for
the Assembly for the Twentieth District,
was next introduced. Mr.. Anderson
said, among other things, after general
review Of the issues of the day, that one
of the most important questions likely to
come before the next Legislature was the
insidious attempts of the Eastern school
book rings to destroy our State system of
school books. This had been foreseen by
the Republican Convention, and that
body adopted resolutions pledging the
nominees to resist the attacks of the rings
against our State school books. Major
Anderson was emphatic in his position III
favor of the State system, and promised
to resist all encroachments of the school
book rings. MIR. Anderson also referred
to the necessity of new organic law for
the city, and would make it his particular
business to see that the new charter
should be adopted by the Legislature in
case of his election. In all matters ofa local
nature he was fully informed by expert
ence, and would utilize that experience for
the benefit of the people of this city. After
a tribute to the Republican party and a
few humorous illusions to the census

tions by a street circular that the new
registration showed a much greater popu-
lation. illustrating by the NEUROLOGICAL

election, was received with loud applause
He called attention to the triangular

said it was victory he would ever be
proud of He thought more OF the little
one hundred majority he received than
others did of their thousands. lie had a
similar contest on hand now, but felt con-
tident that the people, recognizing the
fact that he served them we'll would
justly reward him, by returning him to
the Office. He had made record during
the past few years which he felt proud of
and one that the citizens could point to
with pride, too. He went into the Office
green and inexperienced, but by close
attention to business had mastered the
intrieacieS of the office, and was satisfied
that if reelected he could give the people
even a better administration during The
,
In conclusion, Mr.. Rhoads said that IT, in
next Tuesdays battle OF ballots he was
defeated, he would go down with his
cOlors nailed to the mast. He would not
bob up two years hence sore-headed and
kicking. He would bow to the will of
the people.
r. T. Devlin and Henry L. Buckley.
candidates for the Superior and Police
benches, respectively, made very brief
speeches. Both promised, If elected, to
be just and fearless in the administration
of the law. They would be just alike to
friend and foe, rich and poor, high and
low. Both gentlemen were well received.
George c. McMullen, candidate for
Sheriff, also spoke briefly. He referred
to his record, when sheriff two years ago,
and said it was one that no man could be
ashamed Of He could only promise il
elected this time 10 give thecounty as
good an administration as he had before
