A large gathering of Democrats from
the First and Ninth wards held rouS>
ing meeting last night on the border
line of the two wards. at the corner of
Mississippi and Nash streets. DIR. E.
w. Buckley presided, and introduced
speaker after speaker, who defined
Democratic doctrine and commented
On the excellence of the party standard
bearers until after IL O'Clock. The hall.
large one. was packed, and there was
no diminutlOn Ill the size OF the gather
ing or its enthusiasm until the last
speaker had concluded. 1t was agreed
on all hands that not better ward
meeting has been held in the city.
F. l.. McGhee, bue of the brightest
orators in the city and recent convert
to the cause of the common people, de-
livered an earnest address, in which he
applied to tae majority of the people to
preserve their own rights and promote
their own interests by voting the DEM
ocratic ticket and setting their face
against the party that fathers and pro-
notes trusts and interests opposed to
good government and the rights of the
great majority. His speech was illus
trated by incidents which brought out
cheers and applause. One of his apt
illustrations went to prove that Ohio is
the hcme of the apostle of protection
and of the SOCIALIST. and that Mckinley,
being the father of protection. must be
the father of CoXey and his army of no
boes. He also earnestly advocated the
ticket.
Pierce Butler made one of the best
speeches of the campaign, in which he
asked the voters to give careful consid-
Grafton when they come to exercise the
highest right of citizenship Tuesday
next, and to cast their votes for the
party that befriends them most.
E. J. Darragh made strong speech. it
being one of four delivered by HIM last
night. He was given fine reception,
and made an excellent impression. He
demonstrated that he is not only the
boy orator of the Northwest, but is a
thoughtful, brilliant man. who is we'll
posted in the political economy of the
country.
David F. PEBBLES delivered what may
be termed an excellent Grafton on the
duty of thoughtful consideration of
the privileges of the American citizen.
William A. Van Slyke was called
upon for a speech. but said that being
within few doors of his home, and
known 10 every one present, he would
say no more than to ask them to vote
for all the candidates on the excellent
Democratic ticket.
DR.. E. II. Whltcomb made a sensible
speech. He alluded to the fact that he
had tried to do his duty as coroner for
the past two years. He had tried TO
save expense to the county by holding
no more inquests than were necessary.
and when they were held they were
searching inquiries, with view of
placing the blame where it belonged.
He called the Democratic ticket roll
of honor, and asked that all strive to
elect every man thereon.
John S. erode gave the audience a
brief, business-like talk, and urged the
necessity of registration and voting. o.
ii. ONeill talked at some length on
general topics. DR.. Buckley dismissed
the audience after suggesting the i'm
portance of registration today.
