empty space around the presidents table,
Within the charmed circle sat s'Boss' Living
stone John Considine, George Sheehan, o. D.
Butterfeld, B. F. De Bow and other leaders of
the Democracy.
The candidates speech was mostly about J. T.
Ronald-what he had done, and what he was
going to do why he had defended the White
chapel women, and why he was NJ. c. Sullivan's
attorney He declared that he did not seek the
nomination for mayor. 81 did not want the
Office" he said, 'until got the nomination.
Now, I've got the nomination, 1 want it bad"
As he progressed, the speaker picked up
copy of the Press Times containing a villainous
cartoon of himself, and holding it up to the
gaze of the audience, said: "Now don't think
I'm mad, for amt. My old skin is as thick as
hippopotamus, I've had so much said
about me. Why, only the other day
an old soldier came into my Office
and said that he had heard some
good things of me, but that he understood that
during the war was Jayhawker in Missouri
with the James and Younger boys. l replied:
q don't propose to deny it. / ain now Sc years
OF age and when the war broke out was g
years and days old and was brave old Jay
hawker.'" Mr.. Ronald did not repeat his
speech made in the Ninth ward the night be-
fore, in which he declared that If elected he
would wipe Whitechapel off the face of the
earth Being closer to Whitechapel he modified
his statement to say that if after he got to be
mayor the gambling houses were running and
the houses of prostitution open their fines
would all go into the city treasury.
Mr.. Ronald's speech was followed by frenzied
efforts by J. F. McElroy, I. Ii. Cam, B. F. De
Bow and DR.. Rozsas.
The evenings performance closed with a song
from the coiored Campaign quartette who au-
nounced that the proper punishment to mete

A DEMOCRATS TRIBUTE.
G.. A. Hill Speaks Out in Meeting for
John Leary.

The Sixth Ward Democratic Club held regu-
lar meeting at the corner of Front and Blanch-
ard streets last night. About fifty representa-
tives OF the faith were present and listened 10
speeches by DR.. J. P. Sweeney, G. A. Hill, W. C.
Keltz, DR.. J. S. Kloeber and others. Mr.. Hill
charged the Republicans with shipping men in
from Gilman, Tacoma, Ellensburg and other
places and registering them, with view to
getting them to vote the Republican ticket. He
said John Leary was man of great executive
ability aud nerve, and made an excellent mayor
when serving in that capacity before.
As soon Hill took his seat A. G. Murray,
the chairman, jumped up and accused Leary of
having beaten him out OF street grading con-
tract away back some time in antiquity.
Another orator jumped up and declared him.

Get Their Votes.

The Third Ward Democratic Club, which met
last evening at the corner of Hyde street and
1esler avenue, was addressed by George Dom
worth, George Fortson, C. J. Walsh and Fred
Rice Rowell. Donworth and Fortson assured
the residents of the Third ward that the
question before them is not one of politics,
but of principle. Both OF the speakers angled
for Republican votes by lauding that party and
alleging that IN fighting the present city admin
istration they were not attacking the grand old
party, but rather some ''ring," which they
said was usurping the good name of the Repub-
lican party.
Walsh and Rowell opened up by announcing
that they were not going to slur or heap abuse
upon the Republican candidates. Before they
sat down, however, both of them made use of
all the offensive adJectives in their vocabularies
