First Meeting Of the New Club
Crowded Enthusiastic
Speeches.

The Tenth Ward Democratic Club, which
was organized last Monday night in the Av,
enue House, held its first meeting last night
and indorsed the ticket
The large lodge rooms where the meeting
was held were entirely too small to accom-
modate the big crowd.
The meeting was called to order by Pres
ident Garret D. Van Reipen, who. in few
words, explained to the members the object
of the club, which was not only organized
he said, for the purpose of ratifying the
Democratic nominations, but also to indorse
the Democratic platform and work for the
interests of the party.
The Campaign Committee reported that
they had secured the Avenue House for
Thursday night, October 81, for grand
Democratic rally, and that the speakers
would be Hon. William D. Daily, Hon. AL
Ian L. McDermott, Messrs David H. Gag
ney, Charles S. Atkinson, Jacob Hendricks,
Carl H Ruempler, John w. Queen and Jo-
seph P. Mullin.
Some minor business was transacted, and
then the meeting was thrown open. The
first speaker was John E. Clark, who spoke
of Republican bossism, and how they were
the enemy of the workingrnan while pre-
tending to be their friends.
Lawyer Charles G. Kelley was the next to
speak. He dwelt briefly upon the late Re-
publican Legislature and its great extrava
gance, and warned the audience that they
would rue the day that they gave the State
into the hands of the Republicans again.
Fire Commissioner John j. Cone made a
rattling speech, in which he emphasized the
necessity of Democratic victory this fall,
as it meant Democratic President in 1896.
He then eulogized Chancellor McGill.
The others to address the meeting were ex-
Judge Charles j. Birdsall, James j. Dow
ling, Martin A. Adams and President Van
