SEVERAL ROUSING CLUB MEETINGS HELD LAST MIGHT. BURNS WITHDRAWS HIS NAME, And a Motion to Indorse Robert A. Smith for Mayor Carries With Enthusiasm — Kighth Ward Dems. Indorse O. O. Cullen— Hebrew Ninth Ward Club In dorses Pavian for Assembly, Smith far Mayor, Cory and Twohy lor Judges, and Conly for Alderman — Fifth Ward Democrats Start a Hig Clvb — Business Ail Along the Line. The Ramsey County Democracy asso ciation held a regular meeting last night at Turner hall. The meeting was held in the large hall owing to the fact that the reception rooms were occupied by the Harmonia Singing society, and the larger hall was necessary to accom modate the members of the club and the visitors. There were nearly 200 present in all. C. J. Meillicke, the president, was in his chair, and Secretary C. G. Hiuebaueh was at his table. Ihe mem bers of the club present embraced gen tlemen from various wards of the city. Resolutions adopted by the Sixth Ward German-American club relative to hold ing live primaries and keeping the polls open between 5 and S o'clock p. id., were read ana liled for future discus sion. This was done after an extended debate, participated in by Henry kuehiie, 11. C. McCartey, P. D. Scau nell. William Johnson and others. When the head of "new business" was reached James 11. Burns made a speech in which he said that when the club was organized three months ago it was ridiculed by some people. The purpose of the organization was to se cure pure primaries and to secure the right lor every man to have a vote and get it counted. Snortiy after the form ation of the club it had, unsolicited, given him its indorsement for mayor, and had supported him up to the pres ent time, lie had no doubt that he wouid be able to control the primaries. The club has carried the point that it started out to accomplish, and has been assured that free primaries will be guaranteed. In view of the fact that three candidates in the held for mayor would make a contest and work against the harmony of the party, and he being a Democrat lie had come to the meeting to give back into the hands of the club his former indorsement, and leave to it to decide who should be selected as the candidate of the Democrats for mayor. He said he wanted it understood that he had made no dicker that induced him to withdraw. He had warm friends, who had supported him before. If He stayed in the contest it would interfere with others who are his friends, and who want to secure places on the city ticket for ward offices. He did not want to pull his friends down in order that he might climb higher. At the conclusion of the speech there were cries of "Good boy," cheers and applnua. William Johnson, of tho First ward, then made a speech, in which lie said that he would like to see ex-Mayor Robert A. Smith re-elected, and moved that the ctub indorse him. Secretary Heimbaugh stated that he had told a number of friends that the club would discuss nothing but pure primaries at this meeting, and it would not be keeping faith with them to in dorse a candidate at the meeting. H. C. McCartey said it would give him great pleasure to see Mr. Smith the nominee. Mr. Phillips, of the Sixth ward, de clared that it would not be weli to ieave the club without as tandard bearer, and he felt that they were in duty bound to select another candidate, and lie hoped the indorsement of Mr. Smith would be unanimous. Mr. Cleary wanted a vote to be taken at once. Henry Kuehue was very enthusiastic, and declared that, several clubs hav ing already indorsed Mr. Smith, it was due to the interest of harmony that this club should declare for him. Matt Bantz made a speech at some length. He declared that the laboring men were not in a position to push Mr. Burns tor Mayor, and to continue di vided would be to widen the breach. They had one Republican mayor who promised to clean out the stables, but he allowed the filth to accumulate. He wanted a mau who would cleau out the mire, and he had faith in R. A. Smith being able to do it. Cheers and applause followed this speech. J.T. Kerker was called upon and made a speech in which he asked that good men be selected for all the offices to assist Mayor Smith in doing his duty. P. D. Seannell made a speech in favor of endorsing Mr. Smith at once. At this point an opportunity was Eiven any present who so desired to dis cuss the question of primaries, but there was no response. The club then, by a rising vote, de clared Robert A. Smith as its choice for mayor. The opposition was called for, and no one opposed the motion. It was declared to be unanimously adopted amidst hearty appiause. On motion of Mr. McManus. the club declared itself in favor of Burns for auditor in the fall. Mr. burns was called for aud made a speech, in which he said that he wanted it distinctly understood that his with drawal was in the interest of harmony and was not done because of any pledges made by or to him. The club had secured assurance that primaries would be held that will be satisfactory to all. Every man will have an equal right in the convention whether he be rich or poor. 1 c alluded to the tact that part of his party and the party press had been against him, and made charges against him in the middle of a campaign. He telt that he could win, but u,d not desire to split the party when all the club started out to accomplish had been conceded. Mr. Burns was cheered dur ing aud at the close of his second speech. The club then adjourned for two weeks. A. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Ihey Call for Pure Primaries and Endorse Cullen for Mayor. An Eighth ward Democratic meet ng was held last night at Wagner's hall, corner of Western and Charles street, the president, P. O'Flynn, being in the chair. Speeches were made by the president, Eugene Daly, John C. Devereux, Mr. Dimond. and others. A series of reso lutions were adopted relative to the primaries, which were the same which other clubs have adopted, and which have several time.s been published in the Globe. The crowning work of the evening was the unanimous adoption of the fol lowing resolution endorsing O. O. Cul leu for mayor: Resolved, That in the opinion of this club the next Democratic candidate for mayor should be one who can command the respect and confidence of the citi zens of St. Paul, who has no entangling alliances with any sect, clique or fac THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 2, JS**. tion, and who, if elected, would admin ister the laws and ordinances In the best interests of the people; and, believ iiiK that Hon. O. O. Cullen possesses these qualities in a most eminent de gree, and would, if placed at the head of the Democratic ticket, be triumph antly elected, we do hereby declare in favor of said O. O. Culleu as our choice for mayor, and earnestly recommend his candidacy to the Democratic voters of this city. The meeting then adjourned, subiect to the call of the president and secre tary.the notice of the next meeting to be dulygiveu in the Globe. FIFTH WAKD DEMOCRATS. They Organize a Club That Means Business. In no campaign in the past history of the Fifth ward have the citizens of that locality had so favorable a start in the formation of a political club, or in the selection of officers, as theyhad at the meeting held last eveniug at the corner of West Seventh and Goodhue. But a very brief notice of the meeting had been given, and it was after 8 o'clock ere the stalwart Democrats assembled to talk over the political situation and its resultant benefits to their immediate surroundings. By 8:20 a good-sized crowd had gathered, and at 8:30 the hall was filled to its seating capacity. Charles Ringwald called the meeting to order, and, upon motion of .fohn F. O'Brien, Charles Lauer was nominated as chair man. In making the nomination Mr.. O'Brien stated that he desired to see representative men placed at the head of the club, and men who would com mand the respect of the commun ity. The people had assembled to discuss the welfare of the ward, and in naming Charles Lauer to guide the destinies ot the organization he thought a representa tive man of the ward had been se lected. Mr. Lauer attempted to de cline the honor, but James D. Nagle shut him off in a seconding speech which declared that the Fifth ward wanted a solid foundation to start with, and as Charlie had put up many a solid foundation before he thought he had better be entrusted with the construction of the one now under contemplation. This suggestion met with general approval, and Charlie was forced to tako the chair. Many nominations and many refusals were made for secretary, but after run ning refusals of over a quarter of an hour John F. O'Brien was finally se lected, and thus the new club was ofii cered as no Fifth ward club ever was before. Chairman Lauer then asked for the pleasure of the meeting, and upon motion of William Koch a com mittee of live was appointed to confer with the city committee in relation to having at least three polling places at the coining primaries. The ward is a large one, and heretofore has had only one voting place, which was entirely in adequate. Several opinions were ex pressed ou this point, and it was finally agreed to give the committee full power, and have them ask the city com mittee to grant their reg vest. The committee is: William Kocii, chairman; James D. Nagle, Charles Whittaker, Charles Riugwald and Peter Eiswirth. John H. Ives was here called upoit tor a few remarks, and in a telling speech scored the administration in facts, lig ures and deeds. lie said that above all, although some might have their prefer ences for mayor or other candidates, he hoped that the club as a unit would sup port the nominees of the Democratic convention. Speeches were made by several other gentlemen present, when , some one called on Old Bob Palmer to say a few words. Bob's tall, gray-bearded figure is a familiar one in the Fifth ward, aud he is known as the friend of every man within its precincts aud all are his friends. Old Bob is not an orator, but bis little plain and homely talk last evening had more effect than if he had been uiftod with the powers of Clay or Webster. He said iiis Democracy was of the old Jeffersonian style, so he had lived and so he would die. He had lis tened to and indorsed everything that had been said during the evenins:, but there was one point anent the present administration that had been overlooked. He called atten tion to that poor woman in her humble home on the hill whose hus band, a police officer, had lost his life doing his duty, shot down iv cold blood, who was now compelled to take in washing to support her little ones be cause she was brutally refused the po s'tion ot police matron, ai.d that job given to a stranger from outside the city, lie also referred to the case of Mrs. Cummings, the mother of six or phaned children, born, bred and raised in this city, who was ousted to make room for foreign favorites, and in clos ing, with his right arm raised, he said that in his home there were three good Democratic votes to resent the insult to these two mothers, aud that it would be cast solidly airaiust any such Importa tion of talent to supplant the native born and our own needy. It was really a dramatic incident to see that old gray headed veteran of the police lorce, grown so in its service, tear the pres ent administration to shreds. Considerable other routine discussion was held, when the club adjourned to meet again in two weeks from date at the same place. HEBREW DEMOCRATS. Enthusiastic Meeting on Rice Street Last Evening. There a activity everywhere in the Hebrew vamp. They smell the battle from afar and the captains are calling their men to arms. No matter who the company commander may be the battle cry is the same everywhere. "Down with the exorbitant licenses; up with the flag of true Democracy." The Ninth Ward American-Hebrew Democratic club was organized last evening. Louis Pavian and K. Ruben stein stated the purposes or the meeting in rinsing addresses, l). L. Cohen was elected president of the club; B. Sha pero, first vice president; J. Lobosky, second vice president; S. S. Cohen, treasurer; M. C. Perlman, secretary; Sam Shurdusky, sergeant-at-arms. Kubeustem was chairman of the meet int. The chairman appointed K. Ruben stein. M. Kosenhoiz and J. Hoehhiser, committee on by-laws, and M. Shapero, M. Rosenholz, S. Kudowsky, J. Bern stein. L. Perlmau and C. Goldstein, vis iting committee. Capt. Gallick urged the duty and im portance of organization, paid a splen did tribute to the Jewish character, re minded them of the snubs and insults they have received at the hands ot this administration, spoke of the high char acter of Robert A. Smith, Judges Cory, Twohy and Willis.and of Louis Paviau, who is favored by many as the candidate of the Hebrews for assemblyman, and urged that they Indorse Smith for mayor, Cory ana Twohy for judges, and Pavian for the assembly. His remarks were frequently and loudly cheered. Mr. Moses also indorsed Smith, and moved that it be the sense of the meet ing that they should support him to a man, and the motion was carried by a unanimous and enthusiastic aye. The same was true as to Judge Cory. Mr. Shapero made the same motion as to Judge Twohy for municipal judee and Louis Pavian for the assembly, and both motions were enthusiastically carried. Mr. Pavian thanked the club for its indorsement, and said that if he were elected he would do his utmost to pro tect the interests of the Hebrews as well as the interests of other American citizens. He spoke of his twenty years' active life in the city, and during all that time the Democrats had never failed to do right by the Hebrews. At the hands of Mayor Smith they got jus tice always. On his motion Pat Conley was indorsed for alderman, and S. Mark thanked them on behalf of Conley. Pavian also spoke of the license out rage, characterizing it as an imposition on the Jews, and Indorsed in ttiestrong est possible terms Robert A. Smith aud Judges Cory and Twohy. Mr. Michelowitz spoke in Hebrew, long and earnestly, receiving frequent applause, telling them of the injustice done by the Republicans aud the kiud ness and sympathy always shown by Mayor Smith for the Jews. Mr. Rubtfiistein made his maiden speech, but it was hot and peppery from beginning to the close, and related to the old gang which contrasted with the men indorsing Smith, Cory, Twohy, Pavian and Conley. He announced that 1,000 invitations had been printed and would be sent out invitiug the Hebrews, with their friends, to a meet ing of the Central American-Hebrew club, at 414 Robert street, Ryan block, Sunday evening next, when there will be speaking, music and refreshments. The ladies are expected to be present. The club meeting will be Wednesday nights. DOZEN REPUiiLiICA.NS Constitute a Party Hally on the West Side. Some dozen or fifteen Republicans assembled in a hail on South Kobert street last night, the premises being labeled The Sixth Ward Flats Repub lican Headquarters. By some over sight the "central" was left out of the title. Col. J. Ham Davidsou made a very eloquent speech, setting forth some startling propositions in an orig inal manner, lie proved to his own satisfaction that the Democratic major ity in consrress was responsible for tiie city debt in St. Paul, lie proved sev eral other statements witli equal facil ity. Then the colored band played "After the Bali," which filled the hall with spectators, mostly Democrats. ••Capt." A. J. Amos, who won his title inarching at the head of a Republican cluo two years ago, came forth at the call of '"time" by the chairman and read some carefully prepared statistics. Ha got hold of the wrong page, how ever, and the audience was not exactly clear as to whether he had brought the city out in debt cv how the thinic worked. Finding himself in some diffi culty, he sat down in tiie midst of up roarious silence, not even explaining how it happened that the reform ad ministration had raised the tax levy two mills. Ed Ozmun was present waiting for a chance to speak, and as lie surveyed the audience as it fell off in sections and wilted away before tho strain of Amos' eloquence, lie presented a pathet ic spectacle. However, there were a dozen brave souls who sat out the gal lant captain, and to these Mr. Ozmun paid his respects in his ususl scholarly manner. POLITIC. -I 1j NOTES.

Mrs. Manette went : there to see her daughter, but was at first denied admittance by the nurse in charge, as she said it -was: against orders.

Donnelly Addresses the Irish- Amorieau Club. A large and appreciative audience gathered last night at the rooms of the Irish-American club in the Endicott Arcade to hear Hon. Ignatius Donnelly speak upon "The United States — Its Place in History." President Butler, of the club.iutroduced the speaker, who was, ho said, more widely known thiin any man in Aniorica. Mr. Donnelly delivered a flowery and most eloquent address and carried his audience with every period. It was filled with bright little gems of eloquence, and a spicy, piquant flavor was given his discourse by many an apt quotation, lie. said he believed the world to be too full of God to leave room for accident, quoting Shakes peare's familiar "Seven ages of man." In speakiug of Abraham Lincoln Mr. Donnelly said: "In one of the great speeches at the beginning of that strug ale culminating in our civil war of that man whose greatness grows upon us the further we become removed from him— Abraham Lincoln."' Again he said: "When we look over this splou did land we see a people the best clothed, the most cultured and the best led race that live on this planet. Be hind all this there is a Great Designer." He then went back into the remote past and showed how rude, uncouth and uncultured were the progenitors of modern man. He told how they lived in rude huts unfit to even stable animals in. He told of the primitive coracles — rude wickerwork frames over which skins were stretched to form a boat— the forefather of the ocean leviathans, "the floating palaces of today." He told of now the ancient Irishman always ear ned a heavy battle-ax over his shoulder, lie would meet another, converse with him in an amicablu way, and then, in case he disapDroved of any utterance, would suddenly crush in his skull. ••Tne ancient Irishmen," said Mr. Don nelly, "used to mix the brains of their euemies with lime. This would harden when shaped into spears, and became an awful a nd irre sistible weapon in offensive warfare. In this way a man's brains often became more powerful alter death than when living." He told of the superstitions of the olden times, and said, "Our ancestors were much like the Sioux." Mr. Donnelly recounted how the women of Gaul, who, as Csesar said, were often more ferocious than the men, would, when they could fight no longer any other way, lie down on the ground and continue the struggle with their legs, often kicking the wind out of the Roman soldiers. "Out of these ruder elements," continued, the speaker, "came the gentle and refined woman of this age." He believed, he said, that the picture of Lady Macbeth drawn in the Shakespeare plays, "so called" [laughter], was a true likeness of the woman of that period. He be lieved that we were fortunate in being, as it were, on the edge of barbarism. In the cases of highly civilized races, iii>9 U»? Chinese^ who had been such for thousands of years, Uiere is ateudency to too much uniformity. He quoted the reply of an eminent German— Prof. Liefer — who * said . the greatest race was the otje ; with the greatest necks ami largest Waist?. "It is the combination of this : ancienF str^^«th with modem ; cultivatiou that makes this people what we are. Our liberties were baptized in the blood of Charles the First." The speaker told of the recently dis covered correspondence between tha ancient bishops of Vi aland and the holy see, found in the Vatican, throw ing light on the early settlements along the North American coast by the North men. It appears by these old letters that their settlements became extinct about 100 years before Columbus' discovery. Mr. Donnelly said ha believed there was a wise Providence back of all this which prevented the spread of the Scandinavian colonies. That time was not ripe; that this con tinent was intended to be colonized by a mixture of races. That it, like ancient Britain, Ireland and France, was to be come the mingling ground of a mixture of those elements, which in combination should form a new race— the American people — the- most composite in the world. He said this nation was per meated from its foundations with the law of liberty. He spoke ot the Puritans in New England, the Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Marylanders, Lord Baltimore's Catholics, and farther down the Atlantic coast the French Hugenots, all tiie lovers of liberty and the victim.! of persecution.
