Next Tuesday.

One hundred and seventy-five Of the &C.
tive Democratic workers OF the Twenty
eighth Ward met Tuesday night at Taylor
and Delmar avenues to consider the situa-
ton and advise with one another upon the
work to be done during the balance OF the

the most encouraging nature. and little
doubt is felt that the ward will go Demo
cratic next Tuesday.
Among those who made speeches were:
Thomas Z. Mulvihill, Judge John A. Sed-
don. Festus J. Wade. Hiram Phillips.
George ID. Markham. Felix Gum. Richard
Hanion and Thomas Crews. William Culp
presided and Dick Wray acted as secre-

meeting Wednesday evening in the Arcade
Hail. All the Democratic candidates will
be present, and besides them. eminent
Speakers from the State will address the
meeting. The Democrats of the west end
of the ward are trying to make this meet,
ing a grand success and they hope all
the Democrats will turn out.
The meeting was to have taken place IN
DeHodiamont, but at the last moment the
managers were disappointed in getting a
hall and the meeting place was changed to
the Arcade Hall.

Mr.. Parker read from an editorial in The

other things, the question to what he

He ignored the Worlds Fair matter entire
