From-ChiId Labor Question Dis
cussed and a Resolution Regard
ing 1t Adopted.
Cohorts of the Citizens Club rallied
at the Theater last night. The crowd
was large, but scarcely of the density
of those that have thronged the build
ing upon the eve of past elections.
Estimates of the crowd varied from
500 to 1,200. Possibly 1000 would not
miss the actual number very far.
Downstairs there were but very few
seats vacant, but their number was
more than compensated for in the
crowd that stood near the doors, elect
ing to stand, rather than sit. In the
balcony most of the seats were
taken, while force of habit or a desire
to find the elevated places carried
scores to the gallery. Besides those
seated on the stage, the wings were
filed by staunch adherents of the club.
President ]. Ferris Cam called the
meeting to order a few minutes after
o'clock announcing that its object
was the ratification and endorsement
of the candidates as nominated by the
Executive Committee of the club.
Emphasizing the shelby of the
name the president introduced Shelby
Myrick, Esq, who made the announce
ment of the candidates and entered
upon a brief eulogy of each.
Cheers for the Candidates.
Announcements of the names of the
candidates were received with shouts
and bowls and the blasts of horns, this
being applause and vent for the en-
thusiasm and exuberance of the most
ardent and demonstrative of the clubs
DICTIONARIES. There was plenty of snap
and go about the meeting, and the
crowd was in good humor, being in ac-
cord with the speakers and susceptible
to the praises of the candidates and
the principles of the organization.
Mr. Mylick opened with a few COM
plimentary remarks about the South
Siders' parade, after which he in
dulged in pleasantries at the expense
of the opposition. He asked why it was
that the Union Clubs candidates were
running for office. making answer him
self with an illustrative story of an old
darkey, who. having saved a picka-
MI, fro drnN ~ n mr. hGinU
congratulated upon his bravery,
replied that he had not cared
anything about the boy drowning,
but that he had his savior's can of bait
tied around his waist The "can of
bait" the speaker minated, is the in
SEPARATION that is inducing the Union
Club to run its candidates.

Mayor Myers Speech.
Mayor Herman Myers was intro

has served the city through three
terms as the head of the municipal
government, giving it the best admin
istration in its history. Long-sus-
tanned applause greeted the Mayor
when he arose, and it was a full min
ute before he could make himself
heard.
Mr.. Myers said that while it was
pleasure to him to appear before
Citizens Club gathering, the honor of
being called upon for speech was un-
expected. He desired to say, however.
that he considered that the club had
much upon which it might congratu-
late itself in the selection of a galaxy
of candidates of the ability and integ-
rity of those who appear upon its
ticket. Most of them, he declared. have
served their fellow citizens we'll in the
past, and he did not doubt that they
would continue to so serve them in
the future.
Much has been said in this cam
paign." said the Mayor, that has been
bitter in the extreme. Personalities
have been INDUCED in, and many of
the criticisms of Union Club speakers
have been directed against me. Some
time ago l was presiding in the Po-
lice Court. A negro was before me,
whom sentenced to thirty days for
drunkenness. l was told that his COM
ment was that the Mayor was a fool,
who couldn't tell a drunken negro
when he saw one. / should as soon
reply to such criticism as to some of
those that have been directed against
me in the Union Club"
