its promises made to the people and had
Abandoned all its oid-time doctrines.
He said there was not SO much danger

and then cries. stop thief. He charges
that the editor of the New York Journal

new thing for the Democratic party to
oppose it.
some member of the audience asked.
How about the Herald?' There were
cries OF put him OUT but the incident
passed without notice.
FIONEER OF PROSPERITY.
General Allan characterized President
Mckinley as tlle pioneer of prosperity
and urged his hearers to vote the straight
ticket next Tuesday and to throw no ot-
stacle in the way of the nation's pro-
gress. He said the triumph OF the Demo-
cratic candidate meant the disturbing OF
the tranquility of the people. the mped-
ing of prosperity and the general break
ing uo Of business.
General Allan was making some criti-
csm OF CAPTAIN Lambs record in Con
Sress when some one ii the crowd Yelled
''hurrah fer John Lamb There were
again cries of put him OUT, aad one of
the Generals over-enthusiasGc admirers
rushed tn the telephone and asked the
First Police Station to send men down to
quell q disturbance. There were already
two officers on guard in the hall. SO no
others We're sent Beyond what has been
described ABOVE. there was no disorder of
any kind during the meeting.
BE CONSISTENT.
General Allan urged his hearers to be
consistent, and not vote TO send a man
to Congress who was out of accord with
the administration, assuming that Presi-
dent Mckinley Wouid be reelected. His
speech aboundel in statistics intended to
show that the Republican party had
brought substantial prosperity; that it was
the fr.eaSs CT tii2 iaooring man. and
should, therefore, De continued III power.

Re5iloiicans.
Before the speaking commenced several
men went through the audience with
full dinner PAL badges on their coats
and distributed tracts containing reasons
why all should vote the Republican ttcket.
The Republican saders will not tell

for the Democrats; but claim that there is
a surprise IN sore for their opponents.
There is Little doubt that the Repub
Iicans have perfected plans to take down
the name and address Of every man CT
their party VINO offers to v8te and who is
not permitted to dc SO.
They Will. it is believed, have a commit
tee at each precincs to do this work. The
object of this is to lay the foundation for
General Allan to contest Captain Lambs
seat in the event the next House should be
Republican.
In 1883 when Judge Waddill ran against
Captain George ID. WISE the same course
was pursued in Jackson Ward. The Judge
contested and was seated.
Captain Lamb Will run ahead of Bry
an by several hundred votes, for many
Gold Democrats will support tlim who will
not vote for the Presidential candidate OF
either party.
