name OH the ticket was that of sheriff,
and after detailing the unfortunate
candidacy of the independents two
years ago he asked that every one this

had the opportunity.
William Koch was then called for,
and heartily thanked the audience for
the cordial reception accorded him. es-
peclalIy as it came from the supposed
stronghold of his opponent. why"
Mr.. Koch said, ''in going around cam
paigning l meet a Republican once in
Il while who Will say they are going to
carry the Eighth ward. But l know
there are too many GOOD Democrats in
the old Eighth to ever permit
such a thing. and l tell them
that from 700 to 900 is the
least it will give for the entire
ticket. AS regards my opponent l will
draw the veil of charity over his faults
and simply call attention to his public
acts. While in the council in 1888 the
very three-cent ordinance which Mr..
| Kahn had introduced and passed came
up for repeal, and moi only did D. NJ.
Sullivan vote for its repeal, but in the
same vote was the name of Henry
Weber. 1t was so with other matters
regarding the labering man as well as
matters pertaining to the ward he rep
res ented."

for. and made a practical address on
registration and organization, and
urged every Democrat I o work from
now till election day for the success of
the ticket. He spoke on the state ticket
and went over the county ticket as
we'll. Work and organization were the
things required for success, and he
hoped that ali would put their shoulder
to the wheel and bring a united party
to the success of the entire ticket.
