Hon. James A. Reed, Mayor OF

ic Club.
Mr.. Reed arrived from Laddonia on

bis hotel by Judge R. D. Rodgers,
president Of the Club, Walter Burch
and John Abbay. He spent the MORN
ing with friends in the Hotel lobby
and lunched with Secretary Of State

LARGE GATHERING AT OPERA HOUSE.
BY 2:45 o'clock In the afternoon the
lower floor Of the Grand was crowded
and the upper balconies were well
seated.
Mr.. Reed was introduced in an ap-
propriate address.
Mr.. Reed, who has been heard In
this city before, devoted the first por-
tion Of bis remarks TO quoting and
making answer to statements OF Mr..
Folk, Mr.. vandiver, Capt. Henry
King and the Republican press Of the
State, alleging that they had DETAINED
the Democratic party and the State
of Missouri.
''Be not deceived, . said Mr.. Reed In
closing, "the Democratic party cannot
stand at the bar Of public opinion, adj
mitting that there Is large and pow
erful element within the party in favor
OF corruption and crime; that its party
leaders have been corrupt, and its su-
preme court dishonest OF ignorant, and
that the party machinery is so villaifi-
ously lbad that 1t Is necessary to or
ganlze revolution and overthrow IL.
/ say we cannot stand making these
admissions, pleading guilty to these
high crimes, and at the same time ex-
pect the people TO again place US In
control Of the State. The criminal
standing at the bar pleading guilty
to felony might as well ask to be per-
mitted to ascend the bench and pre-
side over the court in which he has
publicly confessed bis crime"
