The city needs five coupcilmen to sustain
the mayor and the rest of the city ticket.
lie asked any man in the audience to say
that Mayor Snyder had not been true to his
pledges and the people. 1t was no time to
change the mayor when such vital Issues
were at stake.
Mr.. Eaton's relations had been with tl-c
water company in the PAST and his trying to
draw 500 from the city for one and halt
hours work showed how much love he had
for the city. Mr.. Haas was a g6cd young
lawyer and as far as he has gone is all
right, but he has not gone far enough. How
would he look up against such men as
Judge Chapman and Setve White? Judge
Wright knows more about water laws and
litigation than any man in the city. Who
faced Joseph Choate before the supreme
court of the United States and beat him
in the biggest water case ever tried before
them! G. c. Wright. If Judge Wright
could win a suit for the people before that
court he can win for them now.
The Democratic party is the party of the
people and has stood by the people in the

est and capable, and would serve the people
for the peoples good.
Frank Walker was then introduced and
made most favorable impression. lie said
he had lived in the state since 1864; had

would see that the people got an honest as
sessment
Captain Hance, the next speaker, was
greeted with cheers. He said he wanted
the Eighth ward to turn out on election day
with its old time strength. He carried II
out of "a precincts two years ago and hoped
to do as well on Monday. He would serve
them in the future as in the past and would
be servant of the people.
Charles Holster, candidate for street SUI
perintendent, was received with cheers and
cries of Good boy, Charlie" He declared
he would work as hard from now on as he
had up to this time and would do his best to
be elected If elected he would give the
people clean administration, a clean Office
and clean streets.
Mayor Snyder made one of his usual
happy speeches, being loudly cheered as he
appeared He said the city was being
charged for pipe that private parties had
put in and decided to the company at no
cost to them. They had overcharged and
imposed upon the people. He touched upon
the water question at some length Ramish
and Dockweiler then spoke and the meeting

WAR, NOTES.

The war board was in session with Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday. The most i'm
po1tant action taken was decision to expe-
ditto the departure of the fleet under Commo-
dore Watson 10 thu SptLish coast The ad-
ministratioG is DESTROYS OF beginning the
bombardment OF the important coast cities Of
Spain as soon as possible.
1t has been decided that General Miles will
soon take command OF the army at Santiago
This action, it is stated. is not 20 be taken
with a view of superseding Gen. Shafter, but
is the result of a plan previously arranged
General Miles will leave Washington in few
days and is expected To arrive at Santiago by
next Saturday.
The release of Hobson and the other heroes
of the Merrimac incident is likely to be &C.
compished soon. 1t may now come about
either by the surrender of Santiago, which
would include thes surrender OF Hobson and
other American prisoners in the city, or else
by the exchange of Hobson for Admira Ger
vera or come other high ranking naval Off
cial
in consequence of the destruction of Adj
miral Cervera's fleet and the threatened fall
of Santiago, the foreign press is almost a unit
in advising Spain 10 sue for peace before she
encounters further terrible rsverses. The
same advice is given by Ell Diario, an inhuen-
tial paper of Bsrcelons.
Instructions have been sent to Commodore
Watson TO expedite the formation of his
squadron. As som as needed supplies are on
board, which will probably necessitate de-
lay of three days the Eastern squadron will
start in pursuit of the Spanish fleet
