LOTS OF FUN IN
NINTH WARD FOR
THE OBSERVING

A Ninth ward citizen as he came down
town this morning was asked for news
from his very warm precinct by News
Democrat reporter.
II have plenty OF it," he replied LAS
we are one OF the storm centres. we hear
lots from all over the city, too; and lots
OF information comes TO us that the lying
Colt-Perry organ doesn't give.
IF there is ratified man In local poll
tics, that man is Thomas j. Dorney. The
schemes that have been devised 10 help
him out this time have all proved miser-
able failures so far. All his talk OF hav-
ing money and of being able TO fix things
has been of little avail. They are siz-
ing him and his pals up, and the masks
OF the Hessians' have been torn from
them
"Dr Carroll's ticket is a sure winner,
and deserves To be. The decent men OF
the ward who have been deceived by
Dorney heretofore. know DIR. Carroll; ana
all respect him. They know that the
politicians OF the Dorney type lie when
they say a man has TO be a crook 10 40
into politics, because there is no one bold
enough I'm the ward even In the low
haunts where Dorney's hold is strongest
TO say that DIR. Carroll is actuated by
any but the purest motives OF good citl-
zenship I'm making the fight against the
present organization.
Those folks who have said that
house Of comedy would not thrive. west or
Cathedral square were poor prophets. our
ward after the Republican gathering OF
last night proves II. The idea of man
from the Second congressional district
being the first TO place semi-officialiy
Mayor Dyer's name before the people for
congress against Mr.. Granger is certainly
TO laugh.
Then. Gov. KimbalIs historical ad-
dress was funny. He went back 10 the
Civil war; and / am only surprised that
he did not have something to say about
Romulus and Remus. What men that al
tended that meeting would like toeknoW
is not what happened at the time or the
Civil war or before IL, not even whether
IL was cold day when Remus lost the
future Rome. but whether Kimban or
White IL TO boss things In the party
ranks this fall.
Now. that other White who spoke at
the meeting the local White. uses smiles
instead Of rhetoric. and has the Jolly
girls beat n mile He, no moro than his
namesake. INDUCES in rhetoric; but he
can supply his full share of hot air. one
remark OF the genial clerk OF the senate
at the rally last night shows just how
funny Dave can be.
He declared that the only instance Of
bossism he ever saw w-up at the state house
was i'm Gov. Garvin's time Wen, there
are none so blind as those who wont see,
unless they are OF the stupid class. Mr..
White probably forgets what he doesn't
want to remember. for II there is any
man who knows the full history. the
fights between Bosses Holden and Bray
ton and the complete triumph Of the lat
ter. that man is David J. White. the
clerk OF the senate.
He takes the position OF the tramp
who didn't see the stolen chickens, though
everyone else saw them through the
tramps battered hat.
"It will have TO be a mighty funny show
they put on at the opening OF regular
theatre I'm the Ninth ward. I'm order 10
equal the one held under the auspices of
the Republican club last evening.
'Is Alderman Gcrham going TO run
again? The answer is that just at pres
ent Alderman Gorham doesn't know; but
he won't If the Republican club has its
way"
