Alderman William ]. Kelley introduced
the following preamble and resolution
which were adopted:@
Whereas. The recent decision of one OF
the judges of our Supreme Court that the
life of a child. who was negligently killed
10y the operation of a trolley car, was not
worthy of compensation, has shocked this
community, wherein the gigantic octopus
of trolley corporations has acquired such
a firm hold; and,
ssWhereas, The various trolley lines in
our city, encouraged by said decision. are
continually running their cars upon our
highways at such reckless speed and with
such entire disregard of the rights OF
pedestrians, and,
tWhereas. 1t is the sense of this Assoc
citation that some measure should be de-
yised whereby the wholesale slaughter or
members of our community shall be pun
ishable not only by mulcting the trolley
companies in heavy damages, but also
the managers of these companies; there

cratic Association earnestly urges upon

war, and said that every cheek should

horrible manner in which our brave soil

that no Whitewash can ever cover them
over. He atulated the Democracy

votes will be lost, and said it behooves
all to be careful. and not be deceived INTO

Mark Fallon, candidate for Freeholder,
was received with cheers. He said he
could not make any promises as 10 what
he would do If elected, as he did not
know what duties a Freeholder has TO
perform, other than that he would pledge
himself to quickly learn what his duties
are, and faithfully and honestly perform
them Every matter coming before him

George DAILY, son OF Senator William

himself to vote for just as honest a dol

ever, would not be taken up, as it would
require all the time of the Republicans to
neglect and starvation to every one killed
By a Spanish bullet. Mr.. DAILY spoke of
the opposition of the Republican party to
organized labor, the establishment of the
fee system, by which officers were IN
creased with q corresponding increase Of
expenditure from $22, 900 per year to $29.-

Democrat should fail to vote for any
candidate on the Democratic ticket.
