MR. CARROLL OPENS CAMPAIGN. Addressed Third Ward Gathering Last
 EYeMinE.

| Evening.
 | From a commanding situation in an open coach, Napoleon-like in the stern ness of his appearance yet more sus- gestive of Mark Antony in the smooth ness of his oratory, Anthony Carroil last evening asked his fellow citizens Tn the Third ward to lend him their ears, and without more ado inaugurated his campaign as candidate for alderman from the Third ward on the "Cltlzens Party" ticket It may truly be said that the opening was an ausplclous one for the audience, though small, nsteh- ed very attentively at first, ana sym pathized audibly with the speaker While he related to them some of his eXper- einces in municipal matters But ln- terruptions came, as they always do at such gatherings and MT. Carroll, before he had finished his peroration probably realized that Interruptions may be met with elsewhere than in the court or common council.
 Several unkind suggestions to the speaker were first made by some one in the crowd, but these he aftected not to hear with an indifference that was admira ble. At the first interruption, u is true, he did ask the speaker to step up if he had anything to say, ana II his fifty years residence i'll the ward enabled him to he would answer any question he might put. The lnVltatlon was not accepted and MT. Carroll With his equanimity unruftied proceeded as before But presently the same leerlng, hiccoughing voice yelled Three. cheers for James McGann," and in the confusion and laughter which ensued Anthony lost his patience.
 "If Boss MGanns followers are com- posed of such as you,' he shouteo' feel sorry for him. You're nothing put a loafer, and I'll request the ofncer 10 keep you quiet"
 T wouldn't keep quiet for the queen of England" retorted the dlsturplng one, and he made for the carriage. lie had reckoned without the police, how ever, and three of these gentlemen grabbed him and hustled him away.
 MT. Carroll seemed to breathe easy once more; but his peace of mind was only temporary, for disturbances or like character interrupted hlm Ire quently during. the rest of his speech. One person was so unkind as to yell "Who hired the hack for you An- thony?" another remark which re- mained unanswered.
 During the peaceful intervals, though, Mir. Carroll fully made up for lost time, and managed to cover the field upon which he had chosen to speak very well. Every municipal question Of interest came in for a scathing criticism-tax- ation, street sprinkling, street cleaning, paving, and the public officials In gen eral-all were treated alike. In regard to the latter the speaker waxed quite patriotic. q can go into any court in the United States he said, and ex- anime it's records, and yet here in our own city court we can't see them. Why is it that such distinction should ex- ist? We're all American citizens no matter what cline we come from, and America receives the same loyal affec- ton from us no matter what part of 1t we reside in. We are all Gods people and this world was not made for one of no more than another" (Cheers).
 Speaking of clearing the streets of snow. MT. Carroll said: We are pay ing s4O,00o a year for merely O have Chapel and Church streets kept clear of slush. Out here in the Third ward \you know and I know, that the snow might he piled as high as house and it would never be cleaned off. Whom are we to blame? Blame the political system which elects for director of pub lie works man in order to pay off a political debt. It cannot be reasonably supposed that a man can draw S2,5oo year in the position of director and $40 a week from his newspaper work and still have time to look after the snow In the Third ward"
 The speaker declared that the object of the "Citizens' Party is to place the proper men in the proper offices.
 "I," he said, 'am a candidate for all derman on it"
 At the close of his remarks MT. Car roll gracefully lifted his hat and thanked his audience for their attention. Three cheers for Anthony Carroll' were suggested; but the coach was al- ready far down Congress avenue and 1t is doubtful if he heard them,
