At ORPHEUM
Small Turnout to
Hear Several
Speeches.

The opening of the Democratic meet
ing at the Orpheum last evening was
somewhat delayed because of the in
terest felt in the Republican parade
The meeting was not very large, there
being not over $50 present and this
number rapidly dwindled toward the
end. Those present We're quite enthu-
siastic, however.
Mr.. Emmeluth presided and called
the meeting to order about eight
o'clock He arraigned the executive
aggression and the machine tactics
in general. He said that the Repun-
licans boasted of the reduction in ex-
penses. yes, they have made cuts in
tn. school aud clerical departments,
but they are blowing it in on pipe-1ay-
ing" Mr.. Emmeluth then complained
of treasury warrants not being receiv-
ed at the tax office He ended by say
ing that the Democrats would still be
entirely satisfied with what they had
done. even if totally unsuccessful in
eIeciing their candidates. He then in
troduced Mr.. Kinney.

say this officially and his saying, "The
Republican party has no cinch,' was

men into line. He cited the case of

would not believe it at first.
Mr.. Kinney compared the present Re-
publican party tactics to the Gibson
claiming that now, as
then, those in power were practically
buying votes through their giving work
only to those that are with them. He
said, however. that he, could not be
harsh with the man that considered
the needs of his family above party
principles. In regard to Andrews, the
Attorney Generals department had !
been demeaned by him as never before |
oy his (Andrews) mixing SO much in

he way their money was expended.
