GEORGE II. MONROE
Il suppose you all know what has
called this meeting together" continued
Mr.. Crilly. 1T Is In answer to a meet
Ing that was held here n few nights ago
by what are called the anti.Madden
residents Of the ward. do not know
what kind of a meeting they had, but
do know that there were u great many
of them who We're here who Were
friends Of Martin II. Madden, and also
Il number from outside Of the ward
And think they had to resort almost
entirely for speakers outside Of the
ward. I do not think they could find
enough speakers In the ward who would
speak against Madden.
"The citizens Of this ward recognize
in Mr.. Madden a good alderman. for
they have tried him u number Of years.
We find the citizens Of Chicago outside
Of the ward have to go to him they
want anything done and they want It
done right. That shows his business
ability. He Is trained business man,
and has been In business here a number
of years. I know him rs a neighbor
and business man. and can vouch foI
both.
1T has been said that he Is an alder
man and that he has got wealthy be-
cause he has been an alderman. Now,
he has been In business all the time that
he has been an alderman. aud long be-
fore he was an alderman. and he was
In the business Of dealing In bnildinc
material for this great city that has
been built MP 50 wonderfully in 50 shor,
n time, and why should he not have
made money at this business! And
therefore he Is entitled 10 all tina. ht

che city honors him for II. They sa!
he voted for the benefit of streets will
