All things are ready for the Liberal Club
demonstration tonight al Masonic hall
which promises to be participated in by a
far larger crowd than win succeed in get
ting inside The district clubs which have
been holding meetings this week have
been called to meet at their headquarters
for the purpose Of attending as organiza-
tons
The meeting will be a summing up of
the Liberal Clubs reply to the attacks
made on it by the opposition at its recent
meeting A sufficient number of speakers
is assured. The list which As in itself an
invitation, is luckily minus the bitter par
tisans and promoters Of strife. They are
men who viii meet the attacks made on
Mr.. McDonough and his party. ii is claim
ed, by sound refutation and not the denun-
citation Of those who have lined up with
the other side. Besides President Mefdrim
the speakers win include Mr.. w. G. Char
ton, Mr.. S. b. Adams, Mr.. w. c. Hart
ridge and Mr.. Thomas S. Morgan. All have
heretofore figured prominently in local
campaigns
one Of the first things after President
Meldrim calls for order tonight will be the
announcement of the adermanic ticket
The following ten names will not miss the
mark far: George ]. Mills, w. W
Owens William Duncan, d. r. Thomas,
j. II. Estill, c. d. Baldwin, E. A Wed
Leopold Adler, Albert II. Entelman, +.
G. Gleason. Besides these. two names are
TO be added.
1t has been expected all along that some
Of the present board of aldermen would
be asked to run. The men whose services
have been recognized as particularly ben
oficial to the city, and whose continuance
in Council was greatly desired were ask
ed to again go on the ticket. 1t is I'M
derstood the three mentioned, Aldermen
Thomas. Owens and Duncan, have con-
sented to allow their names used. Alder
man Owens has been i'm the present Coun-
ell from the time it Went into office, but
Aldermen Thomas and Duncan have since
been elected TO fill vacancies.
1t is a noticeable coincidence, in case
the above list Is correct, that ten of the
candidates hail from the Third and Fourth
districts, five residing in each.
A Morning News reporter had il on good
authority yesterday that Mr. w r. Leak
en- had been solicited by representa-
tives OF both sides to allow the use of his
&c al m
that he had declined to accede TO the re-
quest of either party When seen MI
Leaken declined to discuss the matter
''My course in local politics is well
known" he remarked. I'm national af-
fairs | am a Republican, but at home l am
hands off" Further than this he had
nothing TO say. Four years ago Mr..
Leaken had a little experience in local
politics, which he has not forgotten, and
the chances are that there viii not be an
opportunity. so far as he is concerned, for
a recurrence of it,
IL is expected the colored voters will
turn out in large numbers. The Fourth
District Liberal Cub (coloredD met last
night in the Harris street hall, and for
some time the members were treated to
speeches. l.. NJ. Pleasant and w H. Lo-
gan were heard The names of many
new members were enrolled. and a com
nttlee OF twenty-five was appointed 10
canvass the district and pick up lost sheep
In the Lyons building, al Broughton
and Whitaker streets, the Second and
Third districts had great time. Rev.
Z. X. Love was the speaker. and being a
McDonOugh man from conviction, he made
a persuasive speech 10 the voters who
heard him.
They talk about Mr. Myers enforcing
the Sunday laws as well as Mr.. McDon-
ough," said Rev Love "Why. how can
Mr.. Myers do this when he does not be-
.ieve in the Geutiles Sabbath?"
Rev. Love said the reason the Liberals
elected old Citizen Club advocates at the
recent Councilmanic election was that the
parry didn't want to be carrying a chip
on its shoulder. 1t desires to make peace
with all factions, he said. and for this
reason, was willing to put men of other
parties in Office. provided they are willing
toefu them.
