EIGHTH WARD ALIVE.
Successful and Enthusiastic En-
tertainment to Stir the People
of the Big Ward.
Sound and Sensible Talks on the
Issues, Varied With a Taking
Layout of Amusement.

The campaign entertainment given
last night at Plebusch'S hall by the
Eighth Ward Cleveland, LAWYER and
Castle club was ''whale" in its way.
Entirely new and novel in its makeup,
il attracted a very good crowd, and the
enthusiasm aroused was something to
make glad the heart of every Demo-
crat in the hall. President j. j.
Ryder presided, and in opening
the entertainment announced the deter
mination of the Eighth ward people to
be in the fight for the national, state
and county ticket at all stages of the
contest, and to endeavor to roll up
creditable and helpful majority on cleo
ton day.
From the remarks of the chairman in
opening the meeting to his cheering
words of dismissal at its close, there
was not dull moment. j. j. Ryan
delivered an enthusiastic, yet withal
sensible and thoughtful talk on McKin-
ley'S criminal blunder, viewing its
vicious effects from the standpoint of
the workinen of the land. He laid bare
III inciSive style the motives and pur-
poses inspiring the leaders and tools of
the Republican party for thirty years,
and evoked rounds of applause by a
plalnly-worded 'showing-up of the
! deplOrable results of the enact
m lh OF a policy osteSibly for
but practically putting millions of un-
| holy dollars into the pockets OF pro-
tected lotteries of selfish furmshers of
fat for campaigns. John Iavanaugh
followed MI. Ryan in clear-cut and
convincing but brief talk on the general
situation. He reviewed the tickets OF
| the two parties SO far nominated, also
| the past actions OF the parties as reflect
| ed in their platforms and performances,
| stigmatizing the breaches of public
trust by the Republican party, in ex-
ecutive and legislative administration,
AS worthy only of a condemnation at the
| ballot box that would place it beyond
the hope of redemption. Reviewing the
outlook ahead for Democracy, Mr..
Cavanaugh launched into a forecast
OF the victory to be achieved
by Cleveland, Lawler and Castle that
fairly took the audience by storm. In
closing the speaker touched briefly but
polntedly on the necessity for compact
and incessant organiZa ton If success is
| to be assured at the polls.
Various candidates for nominations
| in the audience were called on, and
j. Fl. Burns, William Rodger and E. c.
Ives responded in short talks that were
filed with good advice and sound coun-
| sci touching the duties of voters.
Interspersed with the speaking were
various specially features that emily
| ened the proceedings and kept every
body in a jolly humor. The Carey
brothers appeared in intricate dancing
| and character sketches, winning several
| recalls; Frank Bailey rendered pop
| ular ballad in capital style, and as an
| encore himself and Frank Kelly
gave 'Larboard Watch. Alloy" in
manner that won them great
| applause. Hugo Knaak played a
| violin solo in such a pleas
| ing manner that he was compelled to
play another, and Frank Kelly con-
vulSed the audience by his clever dialect
songs. Altogether those in attendance
spent decidedly pleasant and profta-
| BILE evening. Hon. ID. B. Johnson, of
! Minneapolis, who was to have spoken
! last evening, was Oh hand, but owing to
! the late hour of starting the entertain
ment was compelled to return home.
| He will. however, be one Of the speak
ers at the ratification meeting to be held
| in the Eighth ward next Friday even
| ing.
