FfArrERING TRIBUTES.

AS for Representative Hogan he and the
mayor could have, no doubt. as TO how
Ward voters feel towards them.
Representative Thomas A. Carroll,
who might we'll be designated as one of
the most able and active lieutenants of
Leader Hogan In the last assembly, did
not talk on ward affairs but he did in
splendid style tell the voters OF Smith s
hill Just how Mr.. Hogan was looked upon
by his associates In the house OF repre-
sentatives and how much in earnest those
devoted to the cause of reform were in
desiring Mr. Hogan's return to the as
sembly.
All OF the speeches were dignihed and
there was no mud-slnging. The political
acts Of Alderman Dunn and O'Neill were,
however, sharply criticised. There prob
ably never was a more full, convincing
or abler answer made To charge on a
public platform than that made by Mr..
Gaiuer TO an attack made on him by Al
derman Dunn. Mr.. Gainer showed that
the incident referred to was done because
the son of friend OF Dunn's was In trou-
BILE and that there were no pledges made
TO the Republican machine or to any cor
poration that would place Mr.. Gamer un-
der any personal obligations.
Mayor Mccarthy dwelt very fully upon
the issues that divide the electorate now.
lie made his position on several matters

pf the best chairnen they ever saw at "a
meeting In the ward because he seemed
disposed TO give the set speakers a
chance.
MAYOR MCCARTHY.
The first speaker was Mayor Mccarthy
and he spoke in part as follows:
''Is Il a wise man who will scuttle the
shin because he doesn't like one OF the
crew? The man who creates discord In
a marty Is not a man who desires good
