for His Assistant At
tOrney.
Hon. Dan LaWIer Arouses Meet-
ing to the Highest Enthu-
siaSm.

The Sixth ward Democrats to con-
siderable number met in BraDdl's hall
last night to joliifv over the results of
the campaign, and incidentally organ
lied permanent club. The principal
speech of the evening was delivered by
that prince of orators, Hon. Dan w.
Lawler. The speech was probably the
most powerful and effective Que Mr..
Lawler ever delivered, and the au
dience was electrified to such an
extent that men frequently cheered
long and Justify and gave vent
to the most exciting applause that
would prevent the speaker from pro-
ceeding until it subsidized Mr.. LAWYER
was in excellent form for speaking, and
his voice and manner Indicated that lie
was profoundly wrought up to the occa-
sion for his most powerful effort. lie
spoke of his defeat as being one of the
expected possibilities, but claimed that
no one felt prouder than he does OF the
achievements of the Democracy in the
late campaign. He made no claims for
his own efforts, but knew that
the Democratic party had fought
a fight for principles in this
state and had achieved wonderful re-
this state was along the line of the car
dinal doctrines of the Democratic party
and the results were worth boaSting
about, especially the fact that respect
able minority OF honest and Staunch
Democrats had been elected to the legiS-
'lature lie alluded to national politics
and the result in electing cleveland as
demonstrating that Democracy is right
aud the country safely pledged to re-
form.
He regarded the victory in the county
of Ramsey as being greater than ever
before-in the face of the defeat last
Spring-and it demonstrated that the
Democrats are regarded as the safest
party to be entrusted with the affairs OF
the county.
Mr.. LaWler said he strongly favored
the proposition to form permanent
club in the ward. and also permanent
clubs in all the wards. The permanent
clubs may not ouly prepare for the next
campaign, but act as advisers and men
tors or the officers elected. -,
Mr.. LAWYER promised that the clubs
might be seryiceable in recommending
appointments to Office, and that he be-
lieved that the patronage OF officers
elect should be bestowed upon Demo
Gratis. He then stated that it had been
reported that the county attorney7elect
had given a promise to appoint Peo-
PIES party man as his assistant. This,
if true, he regarded as bad policy.
Growing earnest, he said: II meas
.ure my words when | say if
such course is pursued the per-
petrator would be guilty OF political
perfidy. Mr.. Butler has no more right
to justify the appointment OF MI. Don
nelly as his assistant than he would 1t
he should appoint Mr.. Zollman, whom
he defeated" Continuing Mr.. LAWYER
said that if Mr.. Butler had given a
promise before election or before nom
ination, as was reported, that he would
appoint Mr.. Donnelly as his assistant.
it would be honorable to break
did not favor the appointment OF
any of the Donuellys to Democratic
office, even to the nineteenth degree OF
kindred to the Sage of Nininger.' He
said he had no candidate for assistant
county attorney, but he believed DEM
ocrat should be named. He said that
Gov. Merriam had stated year and
half ago that he could not find Demo
crat fit to appoint as judge,
but the people had rebuked that
statement by electing John w.
Willis. He expressed the opinion
that now is the time to protest against
giving any offices to opposing party
men. He also stated that in future the
Democrats should exact pledge from
It's candidates not to pay large assess
ments to the committees of other parties
to be used i'll working against the Dem
Ocratic party.
At the conclusion of Mr.. LAWYERS
speech, j. j. Ryder offered the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted by
rising vote amidst cheers:

land, Lawler and Castle Club:
