SIX PAGES. THREE CENTS, A MENTAL TEST. THE SILVER LAW FULL OF HOPE. FUNNY FIGHTS. journed many of the leaders of the ward organization predicted that tho Democratic state, city and county tickolB would receive majority of votes iu the First ward at the coming election.

WINDSOR TEltltACE DEMOCRATS. wero elected and installod. Tho new and tho old officers aro as follows: New officers President, Rev. A. S.

Kavanagh; first vice president, Frederick L. Foster: second vice president, J. W. Ganaloff; third and fourth vico presidents, Henry Sammis and Henry J. Vogel: recording secretary, Winthrop M.

In tho evening there was a praise service conducted by tho Bov. Dr. C. E. Miiler, after which there were musical exoroises by tho choir, with Professor Walter Decker as organist.

The concluding addresses were delivered by tbe Bev. W. H. War dell and Bobort B. Doherty, Ph.D.

ing all these political Bchemes," said tho speakor, "I was droppod for Mayor Chapin." General Yarnuni, who was the chairman of the last Republican state convention, auoko strongly in favor of that valiant, gallant and fearless leader, Jaoob Sloat Fassett. Mr. Fassett's nomination was not cut and dried, it was the spontaneous desire of every faction and every Ropiib lican from all ovor tho state. Than the last convention there never was a moro harmonious one hold. Good men had boon solected for the whole tickot, one of them from the county of Kings.

When tho Republicans of the state could put iu nomination for lieutenant governor "the little Dutch plowboy from Herkimer," it was certainly fitting ihat the Republicans of Brooklyn should select for their mayor tho big Dutch grooeryman, Usury A. Meyer. General Ysrntun then wont on to show at length that there was no necessity for discussing national issues now; it is bettor to do one thing at a time aud do it well; that is what Fighting Fassett is doing. The natiou tl issue will corao up very Dropsrly next roar, and tlm Republican party will only he too glad to meet the Democrats on them at that time. Other speeches woro mado by Major Henry Bristow, the canjidate for congress in the Second district, in which, beside pleadlug his own cause, ho suoke heartily for tho whole ticket.

Mr. S. Ii. Duryoct, candidate for alderman at lanrs, made a lengthy address. In it h.j said: All powers pertaining to tho corporation of tho city of IJi ooklvn aro derived absolutely by irt from the sovereign stale of Nev York, in tho same manner as au insurance company, a trust couiuanyora railroad corporation.

There is uo nlace for home rule in a municipal corporation. It is not within the province of toe state of Now York to establish within itself petty governments which by their del gated legislative action shall infringe upon tho rights of tho citizen. Wo recognize our country as our limine, the union of the states, and the sovereignty of the stale of New Yoik tin ler its coustitminn. The hy.lra headed monster, municipal government, or municipal corruption, whiohevor you cbouse to eall it, shout I bo shorn of its powers. Its duties are clearly executive and not legi l.t tive.

It is clearly the agimt of the stato, to subserve the interest of the citizen. Mr. Duryea closed with an attack on Mayor Chapin aud an appeal for tho election of Meyer. YEW BUILlMMiS AND HEAL ESTATB. Bit tho offices iu tho city and the state, but we Swedes, that do not vote for reward or payment, havo always been patted on the shoulder with tho assurance that if we voted for this or that American, Irishman, Gorman or Italian wo would be aure to get whut? Well, possibly a poor workingman a placo in the navy yard with a couple of dollars a day for pay and work lasting only a few mouths a yoar.

That ono or the great parties did, without our asking, put on its ticket ono of our countrymen for a more or less important office was something wo never dared to hope for. Now, wheu this has happened, it becomes us tnshaw that we anpre ciato it, and tho best way to show this is that we all. Hepnblicans as well as Democrats, altogether work for this, our countryman's election. In Mr. Chas A.

Meliu, whom the Democratic party put on its ticket as candidate for alderman the second ahhirmanic district, we have a countryman that we need not be ashamed of and who, if be is elected, will fiil the ofti'ce to everybody's satisfaction. He is popular, amiable, incorruptibiy honest aud well likeil among the Swedes, whom he lsnoi likely to forget when be enters upon his new duties. That ho is a Democrat should not restrain any Itepublican from voting for him for the attention to tho city's business must not be oiixod up with national or state politics. It should be of great interest forns all. Republicans as well as Democrats, to get Mr.

Melin olectod. It in of the greatest importance to us all to show unanimity and co operation: for, as ho is the first "hue of these parties' Swedish candidates, it is natural that it will bo of great interest. If he is elected, it shows that the Swedes really amount to something and both parties must, after that, at every election acknowledge our importance and put ono or more Swedish names on their tickets. On tho contrary, if Mr. Meliu is not elected, it will betaken as a proof that tho Swedes lack unity and co operation and consequently have no power as such at tho polls: and wo may then bo sure that the Swedish voters never will betaken into consideration as a factor in city or Btate politics, but only to be regarded as voting cattle, without any consequence whatever.

If. we get Mr. Melin elected then the road ia open for us to any office: but, if defeated, we will be for a long time if not forever, debarred therefrom. Therefore, Swedes, Republicans and Democrats, without difference, throw away, for once. Ihe "royal" Swedish enviousness: let us all take off our coats from now until the sun sots on election day, with zeal aud vigor, work for the election of Charles A.

Melin for alderman in Brooklyn. To reach this aim yon must voto. but to vote you must bo registered. The last registering days are Friday, and Saturday, 24th of Oetobor. The number of Swedish voters can this year easily be doubled.

F.vorynno of us knows for certain at least one countryman that iB ontitled to his citizen paper, but neglected to get it. l'ersuade him to do so and see that ho is registered and to the polling place. Are not the Swedes' number, in nine of the largest wards, great enough to ensure a countryman election? Surely it is, but it depends particularly on everyone among us to personally see that it is done. Among the subscribers to this are, as is well known to all, the greatest number pronounced Iteptiblicans, but that don't keep us from working for a well known aud honest countryman that belongs to the opposite party.

l)epow, at Wash ahirmed at the delay of the Kcnnte to act upon the hili, teieirr. iphed ni ying the ueceHsity for immediate action. The next day Kamreli P. Flower and ConsrreHBmKn Hidden, who had been workinu for New York niuht and day, equally alarmed, also teleirranhed to General limited and Beuatwr pHsett at Albany besting them to have the senato pans the bill immediately New York would li.se the fair. Tho wnrnin was unheeded.

On January 31 Thomas C. Piatt showed his hand jn an interview, duriue wlncii ho used Ihe follow inii worils in exulainini; his opposition to tho pending hill: "If the commission remained as originally constituted in my opinion, so far as tho future ot the party for the next nation si canvass is concerned iu he state, the llepub liciana miiih: as well disband their organization." This assertion was made in face of tiie fact that (Jhanneey M. Denew said that the commission consisted of sixty Republicans niul but forty Demucrats, despite tho fact that Warner Miller and the memorial to congress said that thero conld be no politics in the fair as tiie commission stood. Then it was that the citizens oi New York met in their wrath at a treat indignation meer inc and, irrespective of political aftiiiations, denounced Thomas ('. l'latt as a traitor to hew York.

Thru. Chauncey M. Depew matte his celebrated oredit'tian, which bias fair to bo verified this fall, that if any of the men who opposed the New Yerli world fair bill ever came before tho people for their snffrasoa they would be buried under an adverse majority of 100,000 or more. Then, when it was too lato, and l'latt and Fassett knew it, they were willing to amend the bill. '1 be deiny proved fatal, the interests of New York had already been betrayed and Chicago secured the prize.

The state of New York was deliberately deprived, therefore, of the greatest chanoe for material growl she will ever have. Hundreds of millions of dollars, which wonid hnvo circulated thretiirh all of our channels, have directed to build up Chicaeo at our own expense, aud thousands of mechanics and laborers have been deprived of an opportunity to earn jrood watres where now they Bfck in vain for employment. The spejter ef the lost world fair will not down at Mr. Fmsett'K hiddinir. nor will his cry that ho did not do it help 'J'he people of tho stats of York will this full remember him and Tom Watt.

Mr. Fassett denies that th'i Democratic assembly of lasr winter is entitled to the credit of holdiiii; the shortest session of tho legislature held in lour years, aud claims that he was willing to adjourn a week earliur if tho assembly would havu consented. The fact is that the assembly jonrnnl shows that tho assembly paaod a concurrent resolution to adjourn April 17. Thesen ate which Tttr. Fassatt controlled refused to concur in that noiuiion, but amended it so as to extend tha session until April .10.

Truly, whom the irods would destroy they first make mad. Mr. Fassett asBurted 'hat ho voted to conlinu Michael ltickard for railroad commissioner, recommended by the Brotherhood of engineers, but the ft. New Issue Opened in the Campaign. Ex Postmaster Joseph C.

The remainder of the resolution indorsed the local, county and city ticket. Tho Fpeiker of flio evening was ex Po (master Houdrix. After having touched upon the world fair iBBUOj he paid: There it one iedtie in this campaign which haw not been obtiuded into platform tiiH.cUf rtioiiR, but is novertheks id' extreme importance It turns upon what known at the Sherman silver law.

utisattufactory. New York and liusttts, whom Democrat have taken Htand against this law, stand shoulder to against this measure, and regard it an full of danger to our financial fabric.

IW that we lnnd, if danger comes, abide. Now we Eastern Democrats want to ueud to its long sleep this silver i which soiuo unlucky moon has shot into tiie heads of soma of our countrymen.

The UeDublioans of New York are at the wrong end of this question. The triumph of their platfurm approving tho Sherman law will do tho financial prospect nl the country more injury than the removal of forty world fairs.

They Appear in All Marnier of Costume! at the Tournament of the Columbifj Athletic Club ana if Thej Did I'ot Dis. play Auy Science They Oare the Spec tators Their Money's Worth.

Between six aud seven hundred lovors of tho manly art of sett ncfenso were present at Fhillinre Turn hall, on Mesorolo street, last night to witness the second annual boxing tournament of tho Columbia athletic club. It was a somewhat different affair from tho usual run of sparring competitions in that tho contestants wero col. orod aspirants for pugilistic honors. Most of the spectators camo to the hall with au idea that tho sparring would" bo more of tho funny order than a scientific display of how to hit an get away and they wero not' disappoiuJWofiti this respect. Colored mon are not vetfy sue cesstnl as a rule boxing, and their attempts at swinging and cross arm blows and other tricks of tho business aro as much of a mystery to them as Greek is.

Instead, they swing wildly, saw tho air iu a frantio endeavor tn laud on their opponents and seoin to be very much surprised when tnoy see that their eftorts aro in vain. Oniy ono of tho colored contestants last evening know anything at all about sparring, but the spectators did not mind it in the least and took more pleasure in looking at the antics of the other competitors than at all the proficiency that could be shown. Tho men fouirht for gold nuico iroi ii ipiuo nancisouie audona par with tho pri7.es generally put up by moro pi tenuous organizations. The winners of tho sev. cral classes seemed prize them highly, but aa one i tne spectators remarked, "There will bo a glut in the pawn shop markot to morrow on watches" and as he seemed to know some of tho contestants intimate ly ho probably is nut far out of tho way.

Each sparrsr was atteu led by at least three followers who proved nearly as nf a picnic to the spectator) as the principals. They yelled an sorts ot oncoiiranuiiitnt and instruction to their charges. They bubbloJ over with uuro strained enthusiasm whenever their man got in i aX ed good blow, but when thotideof the battle Heemed to go against their side, their depression seemod so doen that tho gloom was as dense as their col or. Several impromptu "scrapd" were barely avoided between these ainatoui trainers by tho officials of the evening, who hud a groat deal of difficulty in keeping them within bounds. The amlieiice u.

ijoyeii this part of tho cntorta inmcnt witli as much gusto as they did tho real slfrft. and bogged the ollicials to lot the fun go on, and Iot, them light it out among themselves. One of the chief sources of amusement to the spectators was iho wonderful assortment of rinir regalia which was worn by tho contestants. A few of them had regulation tights, and wore them witli pride and glory. Others simply camo "A out in drawers, cut oil at the knoo and held i place by a strap or rope.

On ono occasion one of the competitors, who was steaming witli persnira tiou and who probably used as much on orgy, as lie over did in his life, had tn. toti iu order to adjust his Tlio othor iltTfoilTfftisiM raw an opportunity to get in a few good licks and followed him all ovor tho ring, with his opponent yelling at him to wait a minute until he could get his alleged tights in proper ordor. Ila tried to stop hiui with one hand, and with the other oadoavored to hoist up tho lefractory apparel, but as the glovo waa ef the big sized variety ho could not very well grab it Tho referee dually cinie to his rescue and bold the rusher at bay until the garment could be put ship shape order again. This aud other ludicrona incidonts kept the spectators iu good humor all tlio evening, and it is safe to say that they enjoyed the uutertaiu mont, which was admirably managed by Jako Iho well known welter weight amateur. William 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 an amateur pool player and secretary ot tho inners' club, consented to tako bis life in his hands by acting as referee.

had a bard time of it keeping tne contestants from clinching, clawing aud using otiier tactics not generally encouriigeil under marquis of Quecnshcrry rules, hut escaped without serious injury. The judges wero J. Priestly aud Washington Berriniau. The sparring began when two youngsters named Udell and Jackson jumped over tho ropo3 to compete in the 1 15 pound They began with a rush as soon as time was called and tried lo do tho "whirlwind act," as it was naively termod by an interested onlooker. They sawed the air, which was ralhur heavy with tobacco smoke, without regard to science or reason aud as can bo imagined, did not harm each othor ma terially.

Perhaps the closeness and heaviness of tho atmosphero had something to do with tho tired feeling which both mon I nr ip 'n sfcl second round, but the spectators enjoyed theif ineffectual attempts at swings and knock tint blows. Tho judges finally agreed that Jackson had sawed wiud with moro perseverance than Odell and allowed him the fight. Then catnn two other contestants in the samo class, Samuel Coison and George Bennett. The latter is very tricky and iB really a scientilio boxer. IIo nonpl ussed Coxson at once by pivoting on his eels and dealing bar.khanded blowB and thon quickly turning round, lauding with terrific force on his opponent's face.

The enthusiasts shouted thsir approval in unmeasured applause, which was brightened by the despairing yolls of instructions delivered by the seconds of the man who was getting tho worst of if. The bout was very interesting and the spectators seemed sorry when ttio men closed with tho lourth round. Tho JudgoH had no hesitancy in declaring Bennett as tho best man. Charles Weitlon, a coal black negro, and Edward Walters, a representative of thu Afro American race of tbe coffee colorod variety, followed in a special six round light. WalterB is a lighter aud also a humorist, although be seemed to bo unconscious of that fact.

He began by delivering pile driving blows, tho first one being accompanied wilh a cruut of approval as to his ability as a slnggor, tho second with the ejacnlation of "lytic," the third with "bang" and the rest with domoniac cxprossions of what a "pudding" ho wiib having. W'eldon could not sland this sort of thing very long aud protested that Walters' remarks rattled hilu. As they did not stop as the light went ou, Weldou began to think himself a much abused man and so Informed tho rofcrec, adding that he would not continue when such palpably unfair tricks wero resorted to. Two colored boxers who assumed tho namos of the two well known amateur spari'ers, Mike Mul roy and Tom Creed, then gave an exhibition of how not to spar. It was a very tamo affair, as neither man developed any ability ad a humorist or boxer.

Two heavy weights in the persons of William Jones and William Rudd camo next the 158 pound class. The men wore evidently afraid of each other and would not got wiiliiu fighting range until spurred on by thu simulators an. I the second. Then thoy advanced in a timid way and let go with all their might. In the lirst round only two blows wero struck, the rest of tho time being taken up by the men in watching each other, lludd did nut like this state of affairs, aa one informed lr.m that Jones had evil designs unaii his lire and he decided to get in au at ii.osiihe re where it wns safer.

The referee, therefore, in a sorry way, it must be declared that Hudd bad deeid.nl to withdraw.

He was informed by tho management that he cnubl have an opportunity to disnhiy his skill if he so do aired. Nothing would please hiin better.

Talmage Local and State Discusses Politics. Only the Best Equipped Men Should be Elected Merc Intelligence Not SuiTl cent Adaptation to the Work to bo Done a Necessity A Suggestive Talk. Bev. Dr. Talmaeo discussed politics in a general way during his Friday ovouing talk.

A largo audience was present. He spoke as follows: The air is full of politics and I am glad of it. No good citizen can ba indifferent to the result of the auiuiuual election. What we have most to do witii is the city of Brooklyn and the state of New York, and where is Ihe lovelier city or tlio grander state? It is a healthful ambition to have in official position men moral, intelligent and competent. I am not aware that there is any corrupt man in nomination for any of the live or six more responsibla positions to bo tilled.

Tho question, therefore, is a question of mental equipment. Tho interests iuvolved are too vast to bo entrusted to those incompotont. A man may bo competent for one position and not for another. So that mere intelligence is notsuflicieut. Adaptation to the work to be done becomes su preme thought at such an hour.

There can bo uo diCioulty iu finding out the presence or the absence of snch gratification, for all tlio lights are turned on tho exposed head of everyone who runs for any ofilco in this country. It Is easy to" find out what are truths and what aro falsehoods regarding any man in nomination. What most impresses me tins tall is the small capital those have to work on who wish to make out something against the candidate of au opposite political party. What most I am glact about is that after the tirst Tuesdar in November the city of Brooklyn and the utato of New York will go right on in their career or prosperity, and we shall have better schools and thriftier merchandise and more prosperous agriculture and greater professional successes. I am also glad that the atuinnal election, if excessive vitaporatiou and calumny can bo kopt nut of it.

is a patriotic education for the youth of our country. It gets the boys and the girls in the habit of diBcussing public affairs. And then, what glad times for the young are the bannered aud torch lighted processions of the two or three preceding weeks and the following bonfires which on the evening of election day illumine our cities. Let ub put ourselves back to our feelings when at 10 or 15 years of age we shouted for Henry Clay or James K. Polk, and wo stood outdoors in the country village shivoriug in the October cold while tha oratorB amid torches that flared out uncertainly and smelli of tar showed ns that the crisis had come and that wo were within three weeks of the millennium or annihilation according as our fatherr this way or that.

Let the boys havo as good a time now as we had at their age. In that way they will gather up exuberance of spirits that will help qualify them for tho severe struggle of life when ihey tako up tho battlo as we put it down. But have you ever thought to be grnteful for the continuance of cur political institutions notwithstanding there have been in the last fifty years so many incompetents in ofuoial position 1 This country has from time to time showed its contempt for brains and good morals by pushing aside the wisest and best men and making sheriffs and aldermen and mayors and governors and presidents out of material astounding both for stupidity and infirm morals. The best argument that I know of to prove the worth of our institutions is that incompetency and corruption had not been able to wreck thou). It must be a stout craft that can sail through such cyclones.

This country can stand more maladministration than any country under the Hnn. Notwithstanding alt tho thefts for scores of years by eomniou couucilmen and legislatures aud congresses we havo more resources loft than can be foundered. While wo deplore tne briberies and tho swindles and credit Mobiiiera and the rivor aud harbor bills that have put their leeches on the neck and heart and hands ana feet of this country, we are grateful that there ia enough good blood yet circulating in the body pontic to keep this a strong nation. Had thero been less vitality in our institutions, and had our fathers exorcised less wisdom iu their establishment, those institutions would long before this havo gone under. tho Lord for His securing mercy.

Among the events of the week to it joico over is the report made by the gentlemen who had iu charge the plan of improving rapid transit in New York by tunnels under the city. The practicabdi.y of that plan has this week bosn demonstrated. All our great cities aro interested in tho movement, for that is the way all our cities will bo relieved and advantaged. Why is it that iu London br subterranean trains people can lly hither and thither a mile a minute, while in our American cities travel is jammed and strangulated by crowded streets, or our cities are diitigured by elevated railways which, though a most important improvement on the old style, might be entirely done away with by tunnels to which you could as easily descend as now yon ascend to the midair locomotion. If tho work on Broadway, New York, which has beeu a prrdonged exasperation and matter of frightful ill health and irreparable damage to many merchants, could have been done in connection with boring a tunnel for a subterranean railway.

we would have been well started on an undertaking which must bo accomplished if our American cities aro havo the facilities which London already possesses. All success to this project, which, once carried out, will bo imitated by manv of our groat cities. Then will cease tins scarification of baautiful streets and tho suburbs of the great towns will by increased velocities bo brought within fifteen minutes of tha great centers. But is there any moral and religions result to come from this quickening and enlarging of the world's energies 1 Yes; much every way. As tho wheels gain iu speed, do religious influences in crease in momentum? Most certainly.

Have you not noticed that moral machinery has improved as much a material mechanism 7 Tho kingdom of God has derived help from all tho improvements iu printing presses, iu telegraphy, in steamship in railroading. When ray brother went as missionary to China forty yoars ago it took him six months to get there. Now, American missionaries reach China iu ono month. Fifty years ago Ihe secular newspapers gave no attention to sermons, and accounts of dedications and installations occupied only about an inch of a column. Now, the gospel is preached with w.ider sweep on Mondays through tho printing press than on Sundays through the churches.

Now all arehmnlogical discoveries come in toattcst tho divivity of the i crintnres. Geology shows that the order of creation, as seen in tlio rock, is tho exact order of creation as seen In the book of Genesis. Tolography on tho land and under the sea twice a day puts before us all the great eveuts of the world, so that we may more intelligently studv tho doings of God among the nations. The Western homo missionary, at 0 o'clock Monday morning, conies out of the missionary oftics in New York wit Ii bis credentials in his pocket, and takes the 10 o'clock' limited express train, and by 10 o'clock oa Tuesday morning is in Chicago, and then by the vestibule train to Omnlta, and by ihe middle of the week is on his field of Christian work, whereas it used to be a three months' journey, and tho wolves aud the savages and the malarias made it uncertain whether ho would ever get there at all. Why, man alive, have you been lor the last tweuty iive years thai yim havo not seen the ailvaucementuft.hu Lord's kingdom in Ihe living events and that you have not realized that Ezekiel was right when lie said that the spirit was tho wheels Now, if one Lord wrote the Bible and another Lord niinagod the affairs of this world, I would he in trepidation lest their plans might collide, for when two 'Titans como into war they throw mountains and pitch stars.

But the samo Being who made tho world made the All that He has promised on the inspired page about the gardenings of this unfortunate planet will be accomplished. Ther kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God. Tho work will bt done either with or without us. If wo want to share in tho great harvest home, wo must bring in at least one sheaf. If when Christ, tho returned Conqueror, ias His heavenly reception, we would like to be invited, wo had better do somutiting toward His victories, and if wo canuot lead a column into the fight, then do something if it bo no more than to slough over a gun, ur pick some lint for the wounded, or help slmvel up a breastwork, or hold tho stirrup while tho Captain ol Salvation mounts.

Let us bo tiomewhere in the holy war now raging and then we shall bava a right to share in the final triumph. Oi1, that will be heaven enough for you and for if justoncc. in all eternity, our blessed Lord shall point at us ills loving finger of recognition and say: "You did your best, and from ihe wealth of garlands thrown dow'u at my feet take this one blossom and wear it in my honor on the front of your white robe. You snlfered with mo on earth; now be glorified with me in heaven TEACHERS' CERTIFICATES. Knperintoiidciit SHiix well Bkuci cx Hineiy clirce 2cruiittc.

Bunner. EPWORTD. LEAGUE CONVENTION. Interesting; Exercises in the Tabernacle in. C'taurch.

The third annual convention of the Epworth league societies of the New York east conference (New York district) waa held Thursday afternoon and evening in tho Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal church, Manhattan avenue, opposite Neblc street. The general attendance was seriously affected by tho stormy weather, but 100 delegates, representing thirty fivo societies, an swerod roll call, Tho church waB haudsomely decorated. Devotional exercises were conducted at 3 o'clook by tho Bov. M. T.

Bovard, after whioh there was an address of wolcome by the Bey. A. 8. Kavanagh, pastor of the Tabernacle M. E.

church. It was responded to by the Rev. W. A. Layton.

Then a paper on "The Consistent Ep worthian" was read by Miss Lizzie Kay. Reports of chapters showed that the Epworth league sooieties liart become everywhere recog cizod as valuable auxiliaries in the work of the Methodist Episcopal chnroh. After a number of committees had been appointed and some miscellaneous business had boeu transacted, officers Republicans in Three Democratic "Wards. Yotors of the First, Sixth, Tenth and Twelfth Combine in a Mass Meeting at the Atheneum Speeches by General Tarnum and Others. The Republicans or the First.

Sixth. Tenth and Twelfth wards had a joint meeting last nicht at the Atheneum. A band had been engaged, tire works were displayed, a selectlist of speakers secured and a reusing mooting was expected. The Atbcncuiu was not filled, even its lower part and the gallery was almost bare. Those who were proaeuf, however, did their best in sustaining tho enthusiasm, and for a comparatively fair audience, cheered as lustily as ir the hall had been packed.

Mr. camo in for the most enthusiastic reception and his name was cheered every time it was mentioned. When he produced his typewritten speech and said that although tho Democrats objected to his reading what he had to say, he meant to keep on doing it, there was such an outbreak of applause that the candidate had io pause tor its cessation. Tho candidates for supervisor at largo, Horace E. Dresser: congress man, Henry Bristow; alderman at large, Kauuiel B.

Dnryea, ami General Yariimn all put a hearty greeting aud were freqiiontly applauded. Mr. Theodore B. Willis, who called the meeting ti order ou boiialf of the campaign committee, made an addrosi iu which, referring to tho city ticket, he said: There are a few facts concerning the city ticket which I would like to bring to your attention. I want to say a word to you concerning tiie character and worth of your nominee for iyor, Mr.

Henry A. Meyer, and to speak for a moinui.t upon the issues of the impaign locally. Tho Deni oerats have iu accordance with their usual tactics trie. I to draw public attention from the issues of the campaign and to make it personal. That is why Altred C.

Chapin was not allowed to run for mayor. liaO he been their nominee the financial corruption existing would have been tne issue. Mr. Chapin was put one Mr. Boody, who had been elected to congress, was forced to resign.

31r. Chapin was tol I to tako a district with 8,000 Democratic majority in it and there obtain a vindication or' his actions as mavor of the oily. Mr. Bootly was placed in nomination for mayor. Tlio Republicans adhered to thoir policy to carry ou the campaign on substantial issues.

Tho Democrats evaded. They slarted a cry of "Dutch grocer'1 to kill oil debate concerning their management of public affairs. They said: "Hoo what a beautiful man wo have selected. He is a financier. He is honest.

You don't want ta eloct a common Dutch grocer, when you can get stieh an iu telligen man we have named." That ia what they said about Chapin. All of it was true before ho was elected. But alter he was elected the iron hand of the machine, which dictates to conventions tho men to bo placod in uo uinatiou, was placed upon him. Ho did as ho was lolil. The last act waj the attempted purchase of a water plant worth $100,000.

The city was to pay $1,500,000 for it. Think of the enormity of it. Hut it was only on a par with the rest of their transactions. The prompt action of a citizen, who personally bore all the ex nonsts, defeated the steal and exposed the meth ods of tho gang, and eudod the political career of Alfred C. Chapin.

I do not heliovo he will be indorsed even by the 3,000 Democratic majority, whoso votes hs now seeks. Chaoin could not rise above his environments. Boo ly, if mayor, would he as heavily handicapped. He submitted to tho machine in giving up his seat in Congress. Ho has also indorsed tho water steal.

Chanin's occupancy of the mayor's chair has beeu made memorable by a guttering array of hgures. lie has dazz.ed the people and thev hare lost siirht of fact'. Yet the records show that during his term of ofneo taxation has been increasrd over $3,000,000 aifuually, notwithstanding the fact that the assessed valuation of property has neeu bolstered up $1 00,000,000 more than it was at the termination of Mayor Low's lerni of office. Tho Democrats will tell you they have improved streots, extended water works and built school nouses and ponce stations, 'irue, but the money used for tho.e purposes was rai.ed by bonds which tlio legislature authorized to the extent of $12,050,000. None of the improvements were pain tor tlirougn tne tax uiiilget.

1 neeil not refer to tho improvement. Nevor was a city so badly paved as this bus been. Granite blocks rejected iu Now York were used here. The quarries from which tbe stone came aro owned by the Democratic ring. The work was done by oilier inemUi rs of the ring.

Mr. Willis advocated the election of Horace E. Dresser as supervisor at lartfe. on personal grounds, and strongly advocated Meyer's candi dacy, lie then named as chairman of iho meeting, Joshua M. Van Cott.

Mr. Van Cott, after returning thanks for tlio honor conferred, said he was in the convention which nominated Henry A. Meyer for mayor and had the honor of seconding the nomination. He had not regretted the action since. He believed Mr.

Meyer to be as pure as gold. The Democrats have been trying to find out a spot iu his lite or to invent some scandal ahout him. 'i'itey have faiied nunally; ho stands spotless to day and no man dare challenge the purity of his life. They say he is not educated, but no lias Had an academic education and was pursuing a course of studies to tit. him for the ministry when circumstances changed his course, but ho is well fitted to discharge tho duties of the mayor's ofiioe.

But tha Democrats say again that he is not all right, that ho is something lower than the count and the duke tho Dnko McLauirhlin and Couni Boody. Laughter.l He's a grocer, that's the trouble. Benjamin Franklin, a printer's apprentice, walked into Philadelphia with oniya loaf of bread under his arm: Roger Sherman, tho progenitor of a line of urcat statesmen ami ouo of the signers of tho Declaration of Independence was a shoemaker aud a shoemaker's apprentice; Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter and from the humblest vocation rose to bo a second George Washington; Ey.ra Cornell, who founded the Cornell university, was a workman, and yet the Democrats try to look down on a Dutch groeorymau. What tho peooli of Bi uok lynwantis a man to give them good government and that is just what Meyer will do for tuem. At this point there wa3 cheering on the stair way loading to iho hall aud Mr.

Meyer was ushered into the hall amid the plaudits of all present. Ho smilingly took a soat on tho stage. Chairman Van Cott hastily concluded his remarks and then announced that tho secretaries of the meeting would bo Messrs. Jackflon C. Wal lace of tbe Sixth and James L.

Bogwell of the Tenth ward. Mr. Wallace then read off the following list of vico presidents of the meeting: Benjamin D. Sillinian, John W. Chapman, Frankiin Woodruff, Mui timor C.

A set of preambles and resolutions indorsing the Btate and city tickets wero unanimously adopted, and then the chairman introduced Mr. Meyer, which was tho signal for anuthor volley of applause. Mr. said: Although severely censured by the Democratic press for reading my speeches, I intend to keep right on tloing so. Nobody knows my weakness any better than 1 do, and I am nut ashamed to confess that wheu brought before an audience of thousands shouting and cheering in friendly greeting I feci safer with 1117 manuscript thau without it.

My training has not been such as lo call me to the public platform for the purpose of discussing municipal, state or national affairs it has been that of the tradesman, and believe uie, friends, I am proud to acknowledge the fact, and doubly pioud because 1 11111 a retail grocer. But although the duties of my business had given 1110 vory little opportunity to study local politic as a taxpayer 01 your city I have suffered many abuses. I was one of tho citizens of your city that blushed at the ihanieful neglect of duty of our city officials that permitted Tammany hall to get control of the Itrooklyn bridge and male Brooklyn's people the laughing stock of tho entire country. Brooklyn paid two lliirdu the coat. Tammany talios all too palrouagc.

Follow citizens, I am not a politician, but that may bo one of the reasons that I can see tho filth aud smell the stench frum the shamefully neglected and im sewered Twenty sixth ward. And let 1110 Gay this, my friends, I havu traveled much around Uie city tlio past ten onys. 11 is 110; onir me immense uusowered territory of the Tueuty sixtii ward that needs atienlion, l.itt numuivus othor suiallsr and more densely populated wards reek with lilth and uastinoss, and aro tnlr nt yet terrible witnesses of tho inefficient manner in which the p.oplo's money has been spent. If mien tilings were to continue unuer my anmiii istration, God grant that I never be elected niuyor. Friends and follow citizens, I do not hlamn Mr.

Alfred C. Chapin. The cili'so of our cily is not the individual. It is the corrupt gang of ring contractors who stand behind the mayor's chair. Cieritlenii there is no ring behind me and I ak your vote and support on my pledged word to you that lliere never win 1,0.

Mr. Horace E. Dresser was tho next, peak IIo commenced by referring to the Democratio gang which had plundered Brooklyn for tho last ten years and the necessity of the honest voters doing awa3' with this evil by electing the full ticket which has Meyer for its head, and thus rccuriiig honest government and freedom from corruption at ono grand stroke. The speaker said that when Chapin was first nominated even the Hepnblicans respected him, but now he loaves tbe mayor's chair a disgraced and dishonored man, whom his own party would not renominate for the office because it dared not. Mr.

Dresser then took some manuscript from his pooket and read oil' certain charges as to the board of education and its management. Thero is nothing of such paramount importance, ho said, as the school interests of Brooklyn. It is vitsl that those should be impartially administered and that from tlieir consideration pontics, religion and raco should be excluded. I his was specially manifested when Both Low was mayor. Ihe colored people wanted a representative In the board.

Mr. T.ow sniil if thev wini 1,1 find a man fitted for the position ho would appoint him. They agreed upon a man, but as Mr. Low didn't consldor that ho had tho qualifications necessary he would not appoint him. Six months after Dr.

White wan appointed and Bervod honestly for nine years until death removed him. When Mayor Whitney's terra Began Republican members were dropped out and Democrats put in and the biard becamo a political partisan element. President Hendrix packed tho committees so that they would do what was wanted. Clerks wero removed and Democrats who could be useful were put in their plaoes, and these clerks salaries were increased, while the poor teachers only got $300 a year. Mr.

Drosser charged that incompetent teachers wero ap. pointed and still hold their positions: that a janitor was discharged to make way for tho brother of one of the members of the committco of the school from which the janitor had been discharged. That a faithful servant, after forty years of service, was disobargod and a member of the board put in bis placo, with an extra $1,000 a year taokod on the salary, "for oppos Kenna, Lynniu imd Graham Talk In Union 3 nil. The Democrats of Windsor Terraoo who two weeks ago formed themselves into a Boswell P. Flower oauipaigu club had a ratification meeting last night in Union hall.

The hall and street were crowded with Democrats, who cheered the names of tho Democratic candidates. A band of musio discoursed lively airs. President James Duffy callod the meeting to order and spoke briefly. Ho introduced Judge ThoraaB J. Kenna, the Democratic candidate for register.

As soon as the audience caught sight of tho judgo it cheered lustily. Among the things he Baid was that he hoped there was not a Democrat in the room who would go to the polls with a desire to cast a vote for him and scratch tho rest of the Democratio tioket. He would rather lose that vote. Judge James F. Kelly, Democratic candidate for associate juBttco: Sheriff John Courtney and Mr.

E. Moran followed. James P. Graham, the Democratic candidate for assombly in the Twelfth district, was called. He was enthusiastically received.

He spoke at some length, reviewing his course while in the legislature four years ago. 'Tf anyone says to yon Graham is going to bo defeated don't you believe it," he said. I tell you that witli your asaistanco I can carry this assembly district, so take off your coats, boys, and work hard for all tho Democratic candidates." The closing speech was mado by Supervisor William M. Lynam, who spoko of the good qualities of tho Democratic candidates for town officers in Flatbush. He said that notwithstanding tho talk against tho Democratic officials of tho town he defied anyone to point a finger at any act to the discredit of ihe party or the welfare of the town.

It had been the aim of the Democratic party io place good men in nomination for public office. The meeting then adjourned. Tho chairman invited all in the room to attend the Democratic mass mooting to bo held in the town hall on Saturday, October 31. SAW THAT THP.IFv FRIENDS REGISTERED.

I am a young man myself, you know, and I want you young men to stick to mo." At this point some enthusiastic member remarked that they wero going to work for him, too. Mr.

"But I can not say more to you now for I havo still four other moolings'to attend to night. I do uot wish to bo discourteous, but I am a bustler and want to keep up my record as such."

ry Evonhig Waltz," by A. G. Dale. A SPHERICAL POLAR CKKAT105. Professor Slrinis Mir TSiat In Wlin.1 Moves ibo Trolley Cnru.

Tho hearing before tho trolley commission yesterday afternoon was amusiug, but little progress was made. Sidney V. Lowell, who opposes the petition of tho Coney Island and Brooklyn railroad company for permission to change its motive power, had John B. Strong present ns an oxpert witness to prove that the power which propelled the cars on the trolley system was not electricity. Mr.

Lowell called the witness "professor," when he did not forget it. When Mr. Strong took the witness chair ho Baid that he was the inventor of the telephone and. was attempting to prove his right to the royalties from tho use of tho patents. This was by way of Bhowing his capabilities as an expert.

Then, iu response to Mr. Lowell's question, he Baid that tho trolley cars wero not proDelled by electricity, but by a polar spherical oreation, which was first discovered by Farady. Tho prevalence of tiros in large citios was duo to tko presence of tho polar creations. In Brooklyn, for instance, thore wero no tiros in tlio outlying districts. All Ihe fires occurred within the district whero tho dynamos of the elsctric light companies were Hituated.

Then he said that he would prove to tho commission that the polar creation and not electricity propcllqd the cars. He left tho stand and from a large satchel he took a three cell battery and attached it to a piece of board which looked like a barrel head. There was what he called a Brush dynn mo and an Edison dynamo on the board. Ho said that the current of electricity would raise tho polar sphere, and he had a compass on tbe board to indicate when tho polar sphere was raised. Tho current of electricity made the needle of the compass revolve for several seconds, then tho needle would come to a standstill and would point southwest toward the centor of a polar sphore, he said.

As ho did not make his ideas clear to the commission his experiment was abandoned before ho was satisfied with it. Before returning to the witness stand, however, he said impressively: "If any of you gentlemen aro interested in science and will come to mo I will learn you to talk just as I do." Then ho returnod to tho witness ohair and was cross examined by Mr. Dyltman. "What are you a professor of? askod Mr. Dyltman.

"1 am a professor of polar science, by nocessity, to protect my rights." "What chair do you occupy?" "This chair," patting the chair in which ho was sitting. "Dare you occupy a chair in any college "If I did I wonid have to teach thnorios and not facts. College professors do not know the difference between an electric battery and a ciso of alcohol." "Where did you get tho title of "Some of you gentlemen hero gavo it to mo." "Was it Mr. Lowell?" I bolievo so." "Anyono else?" "Yes. I have been called professor.

Sometimes I have been called old Polarity and sometimes a crank; hut I was uevor called a Then Commissioner Winslow asKed the witness whon he tirst became interested in electricity. The witness said that it was in 1 BSD. "What was your business before that?" "I had boon on the stage." "What stage?" "The theatrical stage, sir," with an accent which indicated his contempt for anyono who could conceive of his connection with any other stage. "Were yon in tragedy or comedy?" "Tragedy, sir," he thundered. The commission did not care to hear any moro expert testimony from him, and he was followed by John B.

Schilling, who owhb property in Ninth street, and Charles II. McGovern, a liveryman, both of whom said that they were oppos.sd to tho trolley. Mr. Lowell apologized to the commission for not having moro witnesses proB eut. In explanation ho said that his witnesses had been present ou the two previous hearings and they did not seem to have time to come any more.

He asked for an adjournment that be might notify his witnesses to bo present. His request was granted and the commission adjourned. ST. LUKE'S P. G.

Even the bursting bombs in tho street outside and tho applause that greeted each of the many strong points did not keep it sin el syllable of the mayor's address from being heard. lie remarked that he ought to be able to speak well ni ter such an introduction. He was o'oliged to address other meetings before he retired, however, and what he had to say would necessarily be condensed and to the point.

The muyor ventured the statement that the people of no other city of 800,000 or 000,000 population enjoyed as reasonable a degree of comfort as the people of Brooklyn. This had been made possible by a Jjenioeratic administration. This fact bad been conceded by prominent lterublican citizens, aud yet, in the heat of an election, tho sumo llepublican citizens bad repeatedly declared that there was no water fit to drink in Brooklvn. that there were uo schools and that Brooklyn was a poor place to live in, anyhow, it ai a wonder to uie speaker that these same citizens remained here. Gen eral Woodford, Mayor C'hiipin mentioned as one of these self contradicting oitizens.

He knew General Woodford well, and knew that iie was not as Havago as he talked. In anytime but the fall of the yearGeueral Woodford was as amiable as possible. In a recent speech, however, iu behalf of tho Itepublican candidates, Goueral Woodford bad declared that thero was nothiug whatever attiactivo in Brooklyn. Taxes wero unusually high, aud everything else that was unpleasant existed in Brooklyn under Democratic rule. The mayor had heard thai under a Itepublican administration all things would be changed for the better.

He questioned this, how ever, in view of the fact that the Itepublicar.s had marie a poor showing while in conlrol of national affairs. They bad inixod up the census department and raised turmoil and consternation in tiie ponsiou department. "The citv budget Tor the coming year," tho mayor continued, "will bo about $0, 000,000. This expense will include the cost of a new headquarters for tho fire department, a new fire boat for tho eastern di triet, an increase of sovonty five men in tho fire department, new school biiiidings aud incroasod salai its for puu lic school teachers. The budget has not been made up in a stinted'way and yet the average cot per resident is not more than $1 0.

In Paris, France, the average cost lo sustain the local government is 25, or twico and ono half what it is here." Tho mayor was applauded vociferously as he left the hall. Colonel Feiitou p.oekwell, when th" enthnaiasni had subsided, introduced a resolution which was unajiiuimialy adopted, indorsing tho rHnoiniiiatioo nf Henator P. ii. McCarren. The nator uas present r.nd expressed his appreciation of the honor.

Incidentally h'i mudr a vigorous arraignment of tbe personnel ol the He pn biiean local iinminees, strongly iiidiu'eed Mr. Boody's candidacy and predict, an overwhelming Democratic victory next month, Other addresses were made by Mr. Hoody, Judge Kenna, Corporation Counsel Jcnki, George Gk ndenning and Louis Stubr nail. BOOMING M0 UAlUtEN Anl OTT. Bcmocrat.

ot (ho Sixteenth Moliii for Thoin. There was an enthusiastic gathering of Democrats at tho headquarters of tho Sixteenth ward Democratic leaguo, corner of Bnshwick avenue and Stagg street, last night A hand of music and firoworks entertained the people for half an hour before the speaking began. Herman Krea gor presided, and speeches were mado by Coroner Georgo Lindsay, Senator P. II. McCarren, Alderman Manrer, Louis C.

Ott and others. All tho speakers dwelt particularly upon the claims of P. n. MoCarron aud Louis C. Ott, tho candidates for aonator and assemblyman, for the votes of the people.

jStcCarron's senatorial roeurd, hi.i efforts to secure tho world fair lor New York and his fight to pass a bill for tlio building of another East river bridgo were pointed out. Democrats were appealed to upon tho argument that the state should be reapportioned so that Mr. would represent but ona hatf ot his present district aud that Brooklyn should have one more representative ami ono more vote in the senate. Louis C. Ott was held up as the best man that could bo selected by the residents of tho Sixteenth ward as their representative in the lower house.

His residence in the ward since hiB birth and his familiarity with tho needs of Ihe people there wore said to bo reasons why the people should give him their undivided support. His oxcollent character, which is bo well known in the ward, and his clean record as a servant of the people were referred to as earnests of hiB faithful efforts to do as he should do, aud he should be sent to the legislature. THIRTEENTH WAitI) DEMOCRATS. They Fromiac to Bi.ee Their Section of Uic City iu Hino The Thirteenth ward Democratic asssociation held a special meeting laBt night, with Peter Ma honey in the chair and Secretaries E. D.

NurriB and John D. Walsh recording. Chairman Maho ney remiudod all who had not registered that tlieir last opportunity would bo to day, and said that there were special reasouB why the full vote of tho Thirteenth ward Democracy should be brought out this year. One year ago, ho said, the Thirteenth ward, whioh had always boou considered a Itepublican stronghold, swung into the Democratic column, and it was the duty of all Democrats to now do what they could to keep it there. The Democratio ticket from top to bottom was well worthy of support, and while the Thirteenth ward would make a creditable showing in tho vote for governor and mayor, it was well to remember also that there was a supervisor aud a constable! to elect, and that with proper effort these candidates could be elected.

Warden Patrick Hayes also spoke of tho necessity of electing tho Democratic candidates for supervisor and. constable, for the Thirteenth ward, he said; having once been mado solidly Democratic should not be allowed to retrograde. Tho Democracy of tho ward have engaged tho Bedford avenue M. P. church, at tho corner of Bedford avenue and Sonth Third street, for next Saturday night and will hold a mass mooting there.

FIRST WAU0 DEMOCRATS Coiifldeut ot Boallaa: ibu Republicans! oh November 3. The regular weekly oampaign meeting of tho First ward Domooratlo association was held last evening at 08H Montague street. Alden 8. Swan presided and when ho rapped for ordor shortly after 8 o'clook the hall was crowded with enthusiastic Alton G. Faye was tho first speaker introduced.

He spoke to some length on the importance of the coming election and tho efforts that shonld be made by the Democrats to oari the Bepublloan stronghold on the heights for Flower and Boody. Stephen M. Hoey gave a short address on the issues of tbe campaign and he wsb follewed on the platform by Hobart Pettlt and W. Itowns. After the meeting ad truth is mat he opposed kickspi, aim wnou inu final rote took place he was conveniently absenl.

William A. Armstrotn; was recommended oy tho Btate farmers' alliance for the same position a wa. James Jluekley, with tho knights of labor behind him, iiuth excellent man, well fitted for the position. Mr. Fassett says he voted to confirm them, but lis is officially recorded as votinu acaimt them.

lie claims to havo introduced the mechanics' iien bill, which subsequently became law, but the records of the legislature show that 1 introduced that bill and foueht it through. Itis a wonder ho dots uot claim to have been tliu lather of the twelve hour bill also. Mr. Fa. sett has the assurance to claim that he is the friend of ihe workiniiiuan, and asks for their support: but the records show him to have been one or their must stubborn opponents.

They have a loin; account to settle with huu. IIo will be reminded of his opposition to tho state print hitf bill, the ami 1'itikerton hill, the Saturday half holiday bill, the weekly payment bill and the numerous other labor measures that have been before the legislature bis terms as senator. He will be remiudod of his sneer at the engineers when he termed them only "common, creasy ierkers. J. Hloat Fassett sneers at 5.lr.

Flower's leiirioii.m because tho latter roted against prisoners of nur pension bill. Let mo say that there are a ureat many Grand Army men, Hepnblicans at that, who are opposed to that biii, for the reason that the present laws provide a pension for all veterans who are in any was disabled, uo matter how incurred, if nut through their own virion acts. Bui I have said enough about Mr. Sioat Fassett. I want to say a few words in behalf of our candidate for governor, the enial William F.

Shee han. While muinbi ra of ihe assembly we have lived in the aine hun. ate from the same table and drank from the same itcher. 1 learned to love him lor his manly, honest unalities. and to respeei hiui lor his superior abilities.

I know him to be conscientious in the performance of his duties and a courageous iivhtcr in behalf of bis party or his I riouds. He is a man of principle, who can be relied upon lo defend the nuht and lit'ht the wronsf. lie has been most unjustly and maliciously charged with refusing, while speaker, to receive the petition of the Catholic clergy acainst the so called aiadler and excise bibs of last winter. The men who first mado that eharue know full well ihat it is misrepre sentiiiL' and unjust. They know that tho rules of the assembly explicitly state that all petitions shall bo deposited iu a box at the clerk's desk, which ihe clerk takes at the close of the day's session, the same as the introduction of bills.

They know also that motions and resolutions can only be made on coriau. dayB, certain orders of business, ami in certain ways. Unanimous consent to do otherwiBO cannot bo granted if there iie but a siuule dissenting voice. The petition the Ktadler bill was duly received and referred to tho committee on excise, of which I was ehamnan. r.isn ot i'ut uam iMunly soeuied to take irreat deliyht in of foriiiir ihe petition of tha against the Kehaaff bill, out of ordor and in direct violation of the rules winch ho himself helped to make.

Speaker could do nothing else than oil force the rules whon members objected to unanimous coiibont to receive it. Tvhich they did. Mr. Fish knew how to prcent the petition properly and was publicly informed by tho speaker, but he preferred to persist in trying to place Sneaker Sheehau in a false position for political purposes. Our state ticket is a strong one and a v.innini: ooo.

Our local conventions have well supplemented the action of the Sara tOKa convention. The nomination of David A. Jioody for mayor is one that will brinit strength to the ticket. Those who know bun know that ho did not seek the office. lie preferred tho congressional field of labor, but, like a patriotic Democrat, he restrained his congressional ambition to obey the call of his party for homo work.

Of his election there can scarcely be a doubt, and yet to secure it there should bo united and earnest work. Mr. Boody is a man of broad public views, lsreo executive ability, anil will brine to the office of mayor an experience iu public atfairs and a knowldBP of tho necessities of Brooklyn which ia excelled by low. His remnrki upon accepting his nomination show that he has care fuily studied tho wants of llrookiyn and realizes that lie futiiru growth of tho city should be considered now, as well ns its pies.uet wants. The county tiekel also adds strength to the general ticket.

1 do not wonder that tho Jlepublicans could not net strouir niou to ko on their ticket, when ours is headed by such a popular and ell known man as JndeeThnmss J. Kenna. They couid not match him. liaised from the ranks of the working people by his own efforts and industry he has obtained a place in the hearts of tho people nf Kings county that but few others have ever been able to reach. Who does not respect ami honor hiin? Who that knowy him dues not wish him irreat success and want to help him secure His personal worth and affability will secure him a large fol owing from the itepublican ranks and there are numbers of Hepnblicans who will vie wilh Ilemocrats in their efforts to elect hiin.

As there are other speakers who will dwell more particularly and in detail upon our best candidate, I will not occupy more of your time. Iu conclusion let mo say that the Presidential election but a year bei.eo. If we do not unite now and win our victories this fall, it may result iu disa ter next year. Let us then show this year what Kind's county can and will do by rolling nil a big niajoi ity for the Democratic ticket. IJltiiOKbYM DKMOCIUTIO CLUIS.
