Mr.. BOvTELL IN TIE 22d WARD.

TO a large ana highly respectable au-
dience Henry =. BOutell talked for over
an hour Tuesday night ut Warneke
Hall, No. III Larr1bee street. This
meeting was under the auspices Of the
Twenty.secOnd Ward Republican Club,
and was held In densely populated
German district, those present being
largely Of that nationality.
Earnestly ana lmpressively Mr.. BOu-
tell gave his views on the various ques'
tiOns that are before the people to-day,
laying stress ON the superior intelli.
gence of the Germans, ana the power
they can be for good In the affairs OF
| America, their adopted country. The
power of the man was appreciated
from his first utternnce, and that his re-
marks made a marked impression was
evidenced by the loud and frequent ap.
plause. Mr.. BOutell has made q friend
of the Germans, ana all over the dis.
trict they are champiOning his cause.
The truth Is that the candidate IL
making votes wherever he goes by his
firm convictions, earnestness, ana evil
dent force of character. At the meet
Il
ing Tuesday night could be heard all
over the hall such expressions rs these:
"Boutell Is all right" HE Is made
of the right kind of stuff" III he makes
up his mind that thing Is all right, he
will fight for II to the last" and similar
expressions that indicate the pulse of
the entire district.
That Mr.. BOutell Is popular there can
he no doubt. and II full vote could be
got out there Is little doubt that his
majority In the district would equal
that received by Mr.. Mckinley last
fall. 5000 votes. BOutell buttons out
number those bearing the name OF Per
kins by two to one. In the Twenty-sec'
and Ward the followers of the latter
gentleman are not very much In evil
