last night by Democratic orators ana
candidates. The voters of that Gibraltar
of Democracy responded to the cali no
bly. and st. Lucy's Hall was packed from
the nlatform TO the street. The Crotty
Association attended in body. The Re-
publicans had a meeting in the same naii
the night previous, and they thought IL
was well attended. They were handiul
only to the throng that greeted the Dem
ocratic speakers last night. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, and every lnulea-
ton is that the solid vote of the Horse
shoe, will be piled up for the regular
Democratic nominees.
The honor of opening the meeting was
conferred upon Mr.. Thomas Crotty he
introduced Mr.. John McAuliffe as the per-
manent chairman. Leader Davis occupied

to pay 500 to the same paper, but I un-

back of the hall.
IF You are a friend of HIS answered
Mr. Davis, you will support Kenny.
Cieary's worst enemies are his friends. I
do not think It is fair for you people to
poke up an Independent candidate every
election. 1t makes the regular candidate
pay more and spend more. It is a well
known fact that whenever a man Is beat
en-, and no matter how badly beaten, at
the primaries. he always says he was
cheated There should be no trading of
votes up here, and II there Is not will
expect $500 fer our ticket. The Re2ubn

trade votes, but / hope and trust you win

not be done, as It goes TOO far; there is
