c. D. o'Brien was the next speaker. He
said

70 come In on a purely citizens ticket, but
after we had made our promises after we
had agreed to all that was for the benefit
OF the city, this committee Of eighty of

That was the thanks we got. That was
the way the invitation we accepted was met,

citizen Of st. Paul need not hesitate to shake
the hand Of MIR. Cullen, for when he does he
shakes the hand of an honest man.
j. ). McCarerty's address was to the point,
too. He said:
think this is also for me the first cpnor
tunity that I have had to address the intel
igent citizens of Ward Seven. would like
10 make references to some OF tho things that
were said in the store opposite last evening.
The fact that we were going to have meet
Ing on the hill, going to call meeting in this
Darn, one of the speakers saw fit to say that
1t was apropos that the Democrats should
meet In the barn. as that was the place they
belonged. cannot help but think that a man
who would see fit to make a remark of that
kind, that If we could only get at his fam.
lily history, the place of his birth might not
be so elevatfng as he would have it appear.
am surprised that any gentleman represent
ing Ward Seven, aud rae Republican rarty
would so far forget himself and his ward,
and the intelligence of this ward, to make
any remark Of such kind and myself resent
the remark. Gentlemen never make such re-
marks.
Another remark I would like to say a word
about and that was in the speech of the dis
tinguished gentleman who was referred to
this evening, Mr.. Castle; one who is loved by
all. understand in making remark in
regard to a reform committee, that the Re-
publican party alone were entitled to the
honor and credit of the work done. beg to
differ with the gentleman. It is a well-known
fact that the Democrats have q majority in
the joint bodies. from that Point alone we
are entitled to the credi. from the fact that we
committee was composed Of majority Of
Democrats. But this bright, clean-eut young
man, whom e all rcsrs;:. ]. J. Parker.
is entitled to the credit and he alone. Let
credit go where credit belongs.
J. J. Parker was the last speaker Of the
evening. He said:
The citizens of St. Paul are interested not
so much in the looks of man. not so much
in the ability that he has acquired by virtue
of long experience in his private business,
but they are interested in the character Of a
man who will give to them in the coming
two years an administration that will take
care of their interests as private citizens
and property holders. And how are we going
elected mayor and the common council and
more especially the assembly-how will they
arrive at the point and the conclusion that
will give to you gentlemen, and the citizens
of ST. Paul., careful, clean, economical ad-
ministration. 1t has been my object while
in the council to bring about, so far my
individual efforts and vote were concerned,
a state of affairs that would place us upon
a plane where we ought to be. First of
all we must have the one thing that the
Americans pride themselves on more than
anything else in the world. and that is free
and proper educational facilities. We must
have school houses, and we'll informed and
equipped corps of teachers. In order to get
that we must pay for it. Next we must have
a well-equipped, well-governed and well-dis-
ciplined police force Next we must have
the necessary implements and engines to fight
the fire king. That we have got. Next we
must have clean streets. We must have a
good and competent health department. We
must have men who will look after, and take
care of our public library interests, mat
ter have been interested in, to procure for
st. Paul a suitable building in which to
house the books for those who are not for
tunate enough to possess them. Those are
few things necessary in order to conduct
a successful municipality. In doing so we
propose in the government of the city
Of st. Paul to get them as cheaply as possi-
bic, and to get our moneys worth. The
men we need at this time are those who have
been nominated on the Democrat Citizens
