The open-air meeting at Twentieth

who paid the closest attention to each
OF the speakers and cheered to the echo
every point made.
The United Republican, Resolutes,
and Car Shop Sound Money Clubs par
AIDED, while in the van marched brass

and everybody cheered for the ticket
from President to Police Judge
DR.. F. M. Shields called the melting to
order and introduced Frank d. Ryan
as Chairman. Mr.. Ryan said his duty
was not to make speech, but to intro
duce the speakers of the evening, all
of whom he knew, and knowing, be-
Ueved they would individually and col
lectively make good officials. Messrs.
Hart and Post, candidates for Superior
Judges, We're unavoidably absent ad-
dressing meetings out of the city. They
were both able lawyers, and would
honor the bench if elected, and give
equal justice to ALL
Mr.. Ryan spoke good words for each
their election. Republicans should vote
for them, and personally he would rath-
er vote for a Democrat than an Inde-
pendent Republican who was running
to down" the regular nominees. II
the people wanted prosperity then they
should elect the entire Republican tick
ct. AS the first speaker, Mr.. Ryan in
troduced
SCOTT F. ENNIS
candidate for the Assembly from the
Twenty-first District.
Mr.. Ennis contended that it is the
duty of every citizen in the city and
State to support for the United States
Senate, George c. Perkins-a man with
a record above reproach; and to do so,
1T is necessary to indorse the Republi-
can candidates for the Legislature. Jud-
son c. Brusie, the speaker said, is
worthy the confidence of a worthy COM
munity. He is unselfish and generous
to a fault, and as legislator stands
In the front rank.
Personally, the speaker stood for re-
tanning the State Fair in this city by
securing for the purpose adequate ap-
Er' priations. If elected he would work
INCREASINGLY for such an appropriation.
He contended that it Is necessary to the
the welfare of the city that the State
Printing Office be maintained, and he
should, if elected, work for an ample
appropriation to that end. The Gov
ernor some time ago caused an exam
ination into the books of the office,
and while everything was found to be
in 1rst-class order, an attempt would
probably be made to abolish the in
stitutlon by making no appropriation
for its maintenance He also advocated
a system of good roads throughout the
State, and in conclusion asked the sup
port Of the voters for himself and COL
leagues
JUDGE CATLIN.
Hon. A. P. Catlin, candidate for re-
election as Superior Judge, was the
next speaker He spoke highly of the
candidates for the Legislature, whom
he declared were high-minded, honest
and honorable men. Brusie, he said, is
one of the most skilled parliamentarians
who ever stood in the Capitol He is
q ready debater and an able man, and
for the good of the county should be
elected. The speaker had occupied a.
seat in the Legislature as a Whig be-
fore the Republican party was born
and had worked to some purpose to
have the Capitol building located in
this city. He had connected himself with
the Republican party in 1861, and had
been of that persuasion ever since 1t
was necessary that able men be sent
to represent the county in the Legisla-
ture, and such men We're to be had in
