earnest endeavor,'' said the speaker, Ito send
over the bridge majority or 5oO votes 1or
Mr. Cullen to show you can do even better
than. YOU did for Mayor Smith," This decla-
ration was taken up and indorsed with an
enthusiastic shout.
E. L. Nagle, candidate for constable, ex-
cused himself when called on for speech.
The following resolution was offered and was
adopted by a rising vote:

do hereby pledge themselves to most cordial

'sThe Globe was a trife off about w. t.
Kirkes nomination." said member Oh the
Seventh ward delegation yesterday. out Oh
the thirty delegates who voted on the question
of his nomination, Mr. Kirke had sixteen. His
brother-in-law, Secretary Bryant, wanted him
nominated, however and we gave way" Sew
eral lawyers in town who have cases against
a building and loan company, in which MT.
Kirke is prime mover, are making tnlngs
very interesting for him in different parts or
the city.
One thing that is peculiarly gratifying to
the Democratic city committee is the ract
that good men are Offering their services to
do anything in their power for the Cullen
ticket While the committee has no money, II
finds that it has the hearty good will OF thou-
sands of citizens, who want to see precedent
set in this city for the election of the best
ticket offered. The Republicans prevailed
upon rich and generous man to take the
craftsmanship of their committee, and In every
ward they have followed the same plan. Each
ward organization has plenty Of money to en-
gage headquarters, hire workers and pay the
expenses of the political schemers Yet, de-
spite these facts, they cannot arouse any en-
thusiasm for the Republican ticket. 1t Is
being supported and worked for by hopeful
aspirants for office; and among the loudest
shouters are the Pinkerton people and half a
dozen discharged policemen. These men are
found at every Republican meeting, leading
the applause and doing the camp-meeting-
amen act for every man who may be able to
help them in their efforts to secure revenge on
the officials who discovered their incapacity
and summarily rid the public service of their
presence.
Tired of seeing their candidate side-tracked
by the defensive campaign being waged to
save Doran and McCardy, Charley Horst 8
friends are working quietly for him alone.
They have put out more printed matter than
all the other candidates both tickets COM
bired and they are paying great attention to
the personal canvass method Of gaining
votes.
Register tomorrow. Only one more day left
Saturday April 25. Booths are open from
a. M until p. m. Unless each voter reg
listers he will have difficulty in voting by
affidavit. No names are now copied from old
books.
The silence of Dean Maitland was as moth
ing compared to the silence of Rev. DR..
Smith in this campaign. His enthusiasm
leaked out when the Republican city conven-
tion emasculated the liquor plank of the
platform, and his heart was saddened, if not
broken. by the disgraceful fight over the
crow -eating incident, during which the pub
lie library plank was ruthlessly cut away.
After Doran has been defeated for the second
time, there will be any number of gentlemen
ready and willing to tell just what a bad
effect that fight had on the voters. That
they do not do so now is owing solely to the
infexible discipline Of the Republican ma
chine managers. These men exerted their
utmost power to silence DR.. Robillard, but he
was too fiercely Independent to be restrained.

Said an observant and thoughtful labor
unionist yesterday: "While the Republicans
are telling that lie about Cullen having said
dollar day is enough for laboring man,
some of us are wondering why not one Re-
publican alderman voted for the eight-hour
resolution, or to pass it over the veto. In
fact do not recall any time when the Re-
publicans elected men who would give any
announcement to workers. Now and again
one man or two elected by that party have
been known to do it, but the Democratic Of
ficials can always be relied on to be fair and
