The Eighth ward did itself proud in the
reception it gave Charles l.. Henry last
night at the baseball park on East Ohio
street. The weather was disagreeable. to
say the least, but to a person attending an
open-air meeting il was nothing short of
beastly. 1t was damp, cold and dark. Not
withstanding this there was such an out
pouring of people to hear Mr.. Henry as has
never before been known in the Eighth
ward. Fully three thousand persons heard
his speech. The grand stand was crowded
and packed to its utmost limit, and the
press and directors boxes above were also
we'll filled. In addition to this there was
fully three hundred people standing on the
grounds about the speakers stand There
was literally a sea of faces presented to
Mr.. Henry as he gave. in a logical and con-
vincing way, the multitude of reasons for
not returning w. D.. Bynum to Congress
and for defeating the Democratic party at
the coming election. The speakers stand
was placed in front of the center Of the
grand stand about midway between the
home plate and the grand stand. In the
audience was a large number of ladies'. who
appeared to be almost as deeply interested
in the speech as their male companions.
1t was a noticeable fact that the crowd

are deeply interested in the result of the
campaign now on. Their interest was mani
tested by the steadfast attention they gave
the speaker, with numerous outbursts of
enthusiasm. There was nothing boisterous
about the applause at any time, but sew
eral times during the progress of the ad-
dress the speaker was compelled to wait
for several moments till the tension of
feeling spent itself. This was especially
true during the time he occupied in ex-
plotting the perjuries published concerning
his attitude towards organized labor. He
said several of the affidavits have since
been contradicted by the atlantis in counter
affidavits. They have sworn~that they did
not make the affidayits as published, and
that they were misled into making false
by the Vaccinations OF a Senti-
mel reporter. While speaking of organized
labor he said he wished to take occasion
to say that he could not agree with the
editorial expression Of the Sentinel on the
question. He referred to the following

a perfect right to be an enemy of organized
labor. and to oppose it or its interests, in
Henry sad he did not believe every man
had a right to be an enemy to organized
was right. for laboring men to organize,
and he did not believe a man had a right
to be ar enemy of the right. This express
applause, which lasted for several minutes
He said he had been criticised for voting
for a law which made it a crime for any
person to conspire to prevent the moving
of railroad trains. He said he had voted
for this law while in the Senate, but it was
was cast in a conference committee, the
other two members of which were Demo-
Gratis, He also said that the question In
committee had nothing to do with the two
sections referred to.
He took UP Bynum's promises and votes
on a number of nuaStiOnS and ghaUa6 how
his vote had invariably been cast just OPP
posite to the way he promised to cast it.
In concluding Mr.. Henry said: When you
come to cast your vote on the sixth day
of next month remember that you have an
opportunity to do more for your country,
for your State, for your family and for
If you spend that day working for the sue
cess of the Republican party you will have
earned more than you ever have in any
one day heretofore"
AS Mr.. Henry stopped speaking there was
a rouslng cheer went up spontaneously from
chairman of the meeting, had risen to pro-
pose three cheers for Mr.. Henry, but he
was anticipated by the crowd. Above the

of Capt. Frank Williams. Before Henry
had taken his seat the brigade gave their
the noise OF the cheering, but mingling
with 1t, could be heard the words:

"In Congress-Zip! Zip! Zap!'
AS soon as Mr.. Henry had concluded he

spoke for several minutes on national issues
and was frequently interrupted by applause.
The Soldiers and Soldiers Sons Repub-
lican Club met at the Jour
grounds in a large body. The meet
Ing was in every way a success, and Mr..
Charles S. Wlltsie, the Republican candi-
date for prosecuting attorney, who lives
In that part of town, was in a high state
of delight that so many were present.
The Seventy-second Precinct Henry Club,
colored, were out in a force of seventy-six
members. This is an earnest and intelli-
gent organization of colored voters.
