DR.. Horatio Stebbns said: Mr.. Chair
man and fellOW-citizens, thank the Chair
man for calling me honorable Laughter. ]
The presence of this large company is .
sufficient indication that the public mind is
agtated. that there are convictions which
must find expression in favor of enlightened
laws.
Politics, take it, is the method of
handling the welfare Of political society, and
this requires that it should be handled for
the common welfare and not for private
greed. Politics is extended morality.
There is much talk in the air. Let us be
careful that we are not credulOus of evil.
We are much mere liable to believe in the
epigram which stings human nature rather
than that in which human nature is persona
fed as representing goodness and truth.
What is corruption? 1t is best to know
what we are talking about Sometimes the
less you know about thing the better you
can talk. [Laughter.I When man is put

There was nothing which did not seem to

Another Meeting,

On the conclusion of DR.. Easton's re-
marks Chairman Phelan stated that the
views Of the speaker rendered 1t imperative
that Judge Wallace should be reelected
Presiding Judge Of the Superior Court, and
that, as an aid toward securing this end, a
resolution had been handed him providing
that when the meeting adjourned it would
adjourn to meet to-day at l o'clock in Judge
Wallace's courtroom, when it was to be
hoped that Grand Jury would be selected
which would be in the interests of political
purity. The resolution was unanimously
adopted, after which the Chairman intro

When the speaker had finished Chairman
Phelan announced that he would appoint in
due course of time the committee of thirty,
which was to look after the city's political
purity. He stated that there were no more
speakers and that the meeting was at an
end. He again thanked them especially
for the good order they had maintained and
expressed the hope that the movement
would result in the interests of good govern
ment and pure politics.
The vast audience then dispersed, and it
was a subject of general remark that a
more intelligent and more orderly gathering
never assembled in this city to discuss and
consider questions affecting its interests.
