The meeting held by the ward SUD- porters of MT Lynch in the City hall court room last night was most en- couraging and indicative of success at the polls Monday. Probably in the history of political campaign in this city 1t was the first call ever given for volunteers and nobly was it ans wered. 1t was expected that only the ward supporters of Mir Lynch would attend, those who stood by him and worked for him in the primaries, but everybody was welcome and appar- ently everybody came for the room was crowded to its fullest capacity. Business was opened by the selection or I. x. Conway as president and O. F. Hayes secretary. Everybody gave his ideas of what should be done and how it should be done next Monday at the polls. Many who opposed Mr Lynch at the primaries made a. few remarks which showed they were in line with the rest of the democrats and all expecting and working for vic tory Monday. During the meeting MT Lynch happened in and he was called upon for something to say. He re- sponded readily, though he had not come prepared to make an address. He made one of the best speeches ever heard irl the city court or in the City hall. And every word of 1t rung true, for 1t came from true heart. from one who has worked his way to the head of the list so to speak, from the heart of the selection of the working people for mayor.
 Commencing, he said that this even. ing there will be rallies in several parts of the city. North square. the square opposite the Sacred Heart church and the junction of River, Bridge and Baldwin streets The start wiIl De made from the City hall at ' o'clock and the first speeches will be made at North square There will be out of town as we'll as local speakers some new ones and some who have been heard before. MT Lynch then got down to some statements that have been made during the past few days. He took up the statements that have been made by one of the To- cal republican papers as to certain appointments he is supposed to have promised provided he is elected. MT Lynch said that the statements made are an insult to every democrat in the city and particularly to the 2,00O U maries According to the statement referred to he is all right, but those behind him are all wrong He would defy anyone to prove that he either directly, indirectly or in any possible way ever said or intimated either him. self or anyone else that he would make any appointments He said he has spoken to no one about appoint ments Not a word on that feature of the campaign has been uttered by him. He was told yesterday that if that was so he would be the first may or ever elected in this city who had made no anti-election. .promises. If anyone can prove that The ever spoke to Daly or Barrett about any office he can have $1,0OO. When it comes to making appointments after the elec- tion his first and sole concern in the selection of the men will be the ques- tion, will this man prove himself more competent than the other man.
 Will he do more for the city than any of the other men. 'I say now, and [ will say hereafter, that I have made no promises, and might as we'll say now as later that I ask MT Elton if the sentiments expressed. in one of the papers meet with his approval If he approves of them are the people of this city going to elect him? I do not think he does approve of them for they are profane and blasphemous. They came from the malice of a. vic- ious mind and do not think that the mantswho wrote them believes them.
