the English language Is inadequate to fully
characterize his despicable and infamous tao
tics. Aid. Murphy drew word-picture Of
the gentleman" with the fierce and brist-
ling beard, sitting in the council chamber
and glaring over his speotacles for all the
world like a chained animal. Attention
was called to Reardon's practice since he has
been in the assembly Of taking city contracts
under another mans name.
Mr.. Darragh stated that Reardon, while
in the assembly. secured the contract for
building an engine house in the Midway dis
trict, in the name Of his foreman. Aid Muir
ply said that during the Wright administra-
ton Reardon had secured the contract to
build election booths, the contract price be-
ing s1,250, and that he afterwards sold out
the contract for $500, and the laborers who
did the work were paid only 81 a day.
Cornelius Quincy was the last speaker Of the
evening. Mr.. Quincy laid stress upon the ad-
mitted fact thai the Citizens Democrat ticket
was conceded to be the best ticket ever put
forth. Even the Republicans confessed that
nothing could be said against the ticket
Moreover. it was most acceptable to the labor
ing classes.
John q. Hearn. presided over a crowded
meeting Of Fourth ward Democrats at 43
West Seventh street last evening Enthusi-
astically received addresses were made by
M. e. Murray, aldermanic candidate from
the Fourth ward; Assistant City Attorney
Howard, Chairman Hearn and others.
Mr.. Murray commended the Democrat Citi-
zens' ticket and assured the voters present
that If elected he would make the welfare OF
the ward his chief object Mr.. Howard brief
ly reviewed the honorable record of the
Democratic party In national affairs, and
showed conclusiveIy to his auditors that If
the people of st. Paul would entrust the city
to the party's care for the next two years
they would be given an administration of
which the municipality could be proud. The
ticket was headed by a man Of honor, ability
and integrity, and was representative
throughout The voters should not only
mark their own approval upon the ticket at
the polls, but should see to 1t that every
lover of good government and a clean-cut.
fair-minded business administration should
do likewise.
Mr.. Hearn went after F. B. Doran and j. J.
McCardy with zeal and effectiveness which
called forth the heartiest appreciation of his
auditors. concluding his remarks with an ap-
peal for the solid support OF the Fourth ward
for the entire ticket of the Democratic -Citi-
zens' party.
Tn 81. Francis de Sales hall, in the Fifth
ward. an intelligent and very attentive au-
dience gathered last night at Democratic
Citizens meeting. There was long list Of
speakers, including o. o. Cullen. John S.
erode, F. L. McGhee,S J. ]. Ryder, Norman
Fetter John H. Ives and Ed Murnane. Mr..
erode spoke in German, and ne literally
skinned the false hide off the Republican
pretense to purity and high standard of
citizenship. He warned the German voters
to be very careful when making up their bal
lots not to allow trivial personal differences
of opinion to interfere mith fair and i'm
partial discharge Of public duty. Mr.. cul-
lens record was reviewed and contrasted with
that of hts opponent. The Democratic can
didate's public-spirited work for The city was
emphasized, and every man who understood
the eloquent words of the speaker Joined in
most encouraging outbursts of applause.
Messrs. Cullen, McGhee, ives, Fetter and
Ryder too up separate phases of the Repub-
lican record and tore the veil froms the Mega
tive campaign now 0eirg waged by Doran
and his managers. Mr. Ives directed special
notice to Cullen,s record as citizen who las
always been Just and generous in his deal
ings with men of all nationalities, no matter
what their condition in life.
Mr.. Ryder urged thoughtful voters to- give
consideration to the admitted fact that the
Democratic candidate has been entirely honest
beyond even the touch of partisan criticism
lin discharging every trust the people have
committed to his care.
Mr.. Cullen himself spoke briefly, saying
he would assume the Office of mayor abso-
lutely unpledged and free to serve the in
terests Of the people regardless OF any set
of men. Judged from his long experience In
public life, he was convinced the Democratic
ticket was as good one as had ever been
nominated in any American city.
Mr.. Fetter dissected the Doran-Bell COM
bination to win by bold-faced fraud, and
his talk appealed directly to the patriotism
and local pride of the audience to save the
fair name of St. Paul by electing the whole
Cullen ticket.
1t was late hour when the meeting ad-
journed, but the audience remained atten-
tive until the last word had been spoken.
The spontaneous ovations which greet Mr..
Cullen everywhere are the talk Of the town.
They are in such striking contrast to the
false enthusiasm raised for Doran by PAID
hand -clappers who sit on the platforms and
lead the applause.
The German Democratic Club of the Eighth
Ward held a largely attended meeting last
night at Eisenmenger's hall, University and
harrington avenues. H. A. Larson presided,
and addresses Were made by A. B. Oyitt,
M. A. Albin, ]. T. Avery, Thomas J. NC
Dermott, Louis Betz. James Mcclure and
others.
George Lendway, candidate for alderman
in the Eighth ward, said yesterday he was
sure the Eighth would give Cullen nearly
1000 majority over Doran for mayor. He is
confident he will carry the ward himself
for alderman by good majority. Some citi-
zens of the ward, he said, are lukewarm on
his candidacy, because they claimed he was
pledged and had promised several appoint
ments in the ward, but he said this was false
as he had been following the good example
of Mr.. Cullen, and had not made any pledges
or promises to anybody. II elected, he said 1t
would be his aim to serve the ward to the
best of his ability, and that he would always
be found working for the best interests Of
the ward first, and Of the Democratic party
next.
Theo. Wickersheim, Of the Third ward, says
he is for John Wagener for city treasurer,
first, last and all the time. He also says he
is a straight Republican only in national
politics.
The Republican organs are indeed to the
last extremity when they are compelled to
fall back on the hollow fake that overtures
Democracy. Democracy has no use for fell
lows of the ScannelI- Bell stripe, and is only
too glad to discover their true character be-
fore they have done any harm. Fifteen-Cent
Doran was trying to work some of the Eighth
ward saloons yesterday but they are well
onto him out there, as they have found out
that his affection for their interests rapidly
wanes after election Is oyer: he was there a
couple of years ago, and hasn't been in that
vicinity since-until yesterday.
There was no lack Of Democratic oratory
and enthusiasm at the Democratic meeting
held at the corner OF Concord and Robie
streets In the Sixth ward last night. The
