A new enterprise is now under way which
bids fair to prove a most interesting and
meritOriOus acquisition to the success OF the
Peoples party meetings in the future. The
organization Of a Peoples Party Glee Club
Quartette and Orchestra, which will be
under the able and efficient management OF
leaders who are competent to take charge
of those matters. l am asked to have any
young ladies from Il to IT, who can sing. to
send in their names to the amount OF six
teen, with soprano and alto voices, to J. y.
Hanley, 2i9 Eighth street, and they Will be
turned over to their instructor. The same
may be said of young men who have got
good tenor and bass voices, in order to make
up a quartette. Also any young man VINO
can play an instrument to fill out an orches-
ira Both the latter can send IN their names
and addresses to the above and they VIII be
notified when and where to meet for organ,
ization and rehearsal. We propose to hold
the most interesting meetings of any pollt-
ical party. Come girls and boys ana young
men, get a hustle on you now and be the
first to get into the band wagon; soon there
will be no room for you; let US hear from
you at once.

Ninth Ward mass meeting, which was held
on last Thursday evening no notlGe OF u,ae
meeting appeared in any or the oaily pa
pers. and only a late notice of the same
meeting came to the writer OF the 81. faui
Column. too late to appear in the coiuft M
n did appear in obscure part or the
Representative and we doubt II II was seel,
until the matter was over. 1t is reporter
now that the rank and file of the Nlnth
Ward Populists vows vengeance on any
one who will handle a meeting WITH suci
carelessneSS again. we ASK the q"eS'oii'
Who was to blame?
Our old friend Henry Kaufer of the Ninth
Ward, has reported for duty, ana mas organ
lied his own district and two more precincts

man who would be valuable acqulslLlon 10
go on the vacant state executive board COM
mttee. Of which there are two vacancies III
this district He nd is yon the 1 knd of men
who should be rewarded for their zeal ana
fidelity.
We understand that old war horse Nj. r.
Prendergast is getting ready to have every
nrecinct of the aristocratic Seventh Ward
organized. We did not think that 1t was
possible to do this. but nothing is Impossible
,-;o 10 ov,dn
as Mr. Prendergast has always proved NM
self to be.
A movement is now on foot to form an in
terror organiza ton in Ramsey county such
as is in operation in the old political par
ties 1t is proposed to form an executive
board" consisting of the officers OF eacn Or
ganization of four members each, making Al

of four members and the county organ1Zer
which will make central body of 40. This
body will meet and decide the policy of the
party in it's campaigns, and transact such
other business as INA tn be hoard OF 'oc an
executive committee of sixteen, consisting
Of the president lent st OF e offiners " and
who would do the active work in the wards
and county. This plan has been submitted
by the chairmen of the four congressional
districts and 1t will be matter for the
Ramsey Populsts to pass on. Think 1t over;
boys, and be prepared to accept or re1ect
the plan when you are called upon to decide
There will be two more wards organized
this week in st. Paul. That's right; keep 1t
harmonious organization in every ward and
precinct in the city. BY the way, young
man, how is your precinct! Is 1t oreanlZeu

Mr. O. Cullen seems to be getting all the
nominations going around these days. He
received the Independent Democratic party's
nomination and some new reform party.
Well as Mr.. Cullen is ali right ON the silver

objection to see Mr.. Cullen or any other ma
who is sound on the money a siea Iot re
financial question is the policy OF our party
Matt Fgan of the second Ward. has re
ported for duty and he says the Second
Ward will be organized this week. We eX-
pect good reports from the Second Ward
which under the leadership of Mr.. Egan
will do better than ever before.

even race, with the prospects in favor OF
Mr.. Fuller We have an intimate knowl
edge Of Mr. F'uler's campaigning abilities
and if hustlng is all that IS necessary &c
secure the plum you can put it down he viii
