The Municipal League of the Eighth
Ward met last night in the edge OF The
Ninth ward. at the corner of University
and Rice. The meeting was well at
tended, anu listened to speech by j.
Ham Davidson that was characterized
by very vigorous roast on the present
city administration and the cOterle of
politicians who composed the gang that
met yesterday in the mayors ofi:e anu
laid out a scheme to force nomination
Oh the Republican party.
The following delegates were chosen
to represent the Eighth ward in the

Rev. c. E. Haupt, Arthur Gaines, E. X.
Clymer, o. s. Derringer, T. w. Gadbois.
c. Allison. }. A. Carmichael, j. Hess,
Joseph c. Bennett and j. q. Grant
Col. Davidson was then Introduced,
and spoke for over an hour. While ne
touched OH the Democrats occasionally,
his chief complaints were against the
present Republican administration and
the Republican delegation for the city
in the legislature. He began by saying:
I'm politics | am a Republican on national
n |
1t seems 10 me that it is Il wise plan of this
organization 10 divide the municipal affairs
from national politics. The condition Of the
CITY ought 10 convince US that there is some
thing wrong Leyond national affairs. We
ought TO meet upon the platform of retrench-
ment and reform and honesty i'll municipal
affairs.
The course of the legislative delegation
from the city i'll providing for all increase i'll
the city Indebtedness was cenSured III strong
terms after saying that IL was Republican
delegation. The plan of the committee of
Ie0 10 send partisan delegation 10 the
legislature i'll 1891 was spoken of. and the
comment made that the Democrats kept
faith with the committee Tut the Repub
licarS did not. and used carriages hired by
Democrats TO take Republ!ea to the polls
to vote against one of the Democrats recon-
meaded for election by the committee of 10
The course of Gen. Sanborn apd ". b. Dean
iii the senate MAS condemned, in the respect
that they engineered the repeal of law that
had been placed ON the statute books by the
committee OF 100.
An urgent appeal was made to curtail the
boards of the city.
Continuing Col. Davidson alluded in terms
of ridicule 10 the reform, administration
nominated by the citizens committee TWO
Yeas ago. and said the head of that admins
tration IS entitled to but little credit. With
the exception of c. h. O Bren. Democrat,
Catholic and good man at that. there has
never Ut ell an attempt made TO deal with the
social evil by regulating the houses of ILL
fame. I he present administration was
alluded 10 as being in partnership with the
houses Of prostitution. Mayor Wright was
scored for his course in refusing 10 eurtail
the social evil.
Mayor smith. complimented for pre-
venting Anthony 1oerg from opening a
biothel near Irvine park and for saying that
those rev places should not be opened dur
Ing his ADMINISTRATION. The place had been
opened under the present administration
after letters OF protest had been sent to he
present mayor a ratification meeting that
was held at d disrepulable house after the
election of TWO years ago was referred to-
Col. Davidson TOLD of Mr. Orleman going be
fore the grand jury and wanted the man in
dicted who started new disorderiy house
during the present administration.
When asked If the attention of the
mayor had been called to the starting
of the new disorderly house Mr.. Orleman
pulled out u letter from the mayor in which
he refused to close the house. A man in the
indict the mayor. Foreman Stees said it
would not do TO take such action while
witness was present.. Continuing, Col.
Davidson said Mayor Wright nor any one
else was indicted. Mr. OrIeman saw the
chief of police afterwards, who told him he
did not expect any one would be indicted.
Abiding 10 the meeting in the mayors off ce
the speaker SAID: "A coetrie of politicians
are putting another ticket i'll the field hey
mel 10 nominate a candidate. and We as Re
politicians, are expected to whoop it up
What are we going TO do aboutit? Well
am.gOing to continue 10 expose such schemes
gang mean any person who lends hand to
such schemes as that and which the Repub
LEANS expect Us TO help put through.
The platform or all parties ought to be:
Not another bond for any purpose for two
years. Newant TO shut Off the new park
schemes also. We don't need to buy Ridge
wood or Indian Mounds parks.
Every salary from mayor 10 elevator boy
ought to be reduced. The salaries of the
judges and the salaries of the school teachers
ought to be reduced
Inc Republicans are now hunting for
negative men. [ am simply done with that
KIND OF men | am free lance. | VIII select
from all the tickets the men i will vote for
Let US stop voting for, any kind of a ticket
anG select men who Will put an end TO the
most glaring of the evils. Mayor Wright told
me public sentiment won't enforce the laws.
We have about reached the point when a
cyclone will sweep over the city TO reform it..
COO grant that the time will 81 eedily come
when the people will vote their sentiments
lrres pectiye of party and thus give us ii wise,
economical city administration.
