x4 with W. D. Gilbert's name at thelhead. for Mayor. The rest of the ticket with blanks.

This motion carried. Hon. W. D. Gilbert, the hero of the hour, then, amid deafening cheers, took his place before the audience, and made an eloquent and forcible speech.

During his speech he poured, boiling water on the hides of Bailey Waggener and Doc Krohn. He also remarked that he had been offered every thing to withdraw from the race, but he was too much of a man to go back 011 his friends. Said he: "I met Mr. Hersey to-day on the street and told him that he was simply put up for trading purposes. I don't consider Mr.

Ilersey in the race. Waggener or myself is the man. A vote for Ilersey is a vote for B. P. Waggener.

Don't believe these silly campaign lies that are afloat as to Waggener's serving the city without compensation. Mr. Gilbert's speech was short as he ia recovering from his recent illness, and was too weak physically to speak at any great length. What he did say was cheeringly received by the crowd. D.

C. Arnold was then loudly called for, and made a very enthusiastic speech, which was a roast of Gov. Martin, Gerow, with an occasional left hand wipe at Doc Krohn, who sat immediately behind him. He designated the ringBters a3 lawyers, bankers editors and ex-ministers, with emphasis on the last word, and with a wild, fiendish glare at Doc Krohn. Gerow was referred to as that brilliant, bright and shining light who was about to retire to private life.

He compared B. P. Waggener to Boss Tweed. Arnold stirred up the natives in good shape, and his speech was cheered all the way through. The meeting then adjourned, and the Gilbert men went to their homes all covered with red paint, preparatory for the coming scalping melee of next Tuesday.

Two vags adorned the Police court record this morning. Haskell's have three large show orders from a distance this morning. St. Joe sent down a large batch of work to them also. There seems to be something, wrong at the postoffice.

Yesterday a letter to the Alton State bank and also one to the Atchison State bank were thrown into a gentleman's box who is not in the banking business at all. Fred Myers has returned from California, and will remain in Atchison a few days, when he will go back to his home on the Pacific Slope. While out there he has built a nice residence for himself and two for Michael Lavalle. He will build more on his return. He reports times dull in California.

S. Bernstein, of the popular clothing and gents furnishing house at 402 Commercial street, will furnish you anything in his line in the latest styles. Mr. Bernstein is one of Atchison's oldest citizens and will give you bed-rock prices. Why should the citizens of this city drdp old reliable men, men that have done business and owned property here for over twenty years, for new and unreliable dealers.

You will make a mistake if you do not give Mr. Bernstein a call. THE GILBERT MEETING. A Large and Enthusiastic Ratification Meeting at Apollo Hall Last Night. At Apollo hall last night the Gilbert ratification meeting was called to order by A.

Hooper. J. Randolph was chairman, with Claude W. Martin and W. R.

Fletcher as secretaries. Mr. Kerford (colored) was called upon for a speech. He began in a low tone of voice, and, being urged by the crowd to talk louder, replied, "I'll get louder by and by." He roasted the Republican Convention to the queen's taste, and stated that Hon. W.

D. Gilbert did not have a stain upon his garments. He thought that if rich men had control of the city they would steal it blind, referring his auditors to the administration of C. C. Burns.

Mr. Kerf ord down amid rousing cheers from the listeners. Music by the colored band. Mr. Dan Williams (colored) was then called for.

Mr. W. made some sharp cracks and brought down the house on his cat story. He thought the city would surely go to the Devil under Ilersey 's or Waggener's administration. Daniel winding up his speech by saying that he was like the poor boy at the had'nt much to say, took his seat.

His speech was well received. Claude W. Martin was the next orator. Mr. Martin designated the Republican Convention as a set of bulldozers, and remarked that they could not bulldoze him.

He proposed to vote as he pleased. He further stated that the opposition were a set of cowards and traitors. He claimed that Ilersey was a tool in the hands of the ring as Webb was last fall; that the people are on to the racket this time. He stated further that he had been in Judge Gilbert's office for the past four years, and he knew personally that Gilbert was the best prosecuting attorney, the best judge, and would make the best Mayor Atchison ever had. He don't sell out to rings and corporations.

He concluded by saying that at one time he himself had political aspirations, but that now that was all gone and he purposed to have his say on all subjects. Mr. Martin's speech was well received. As he was speaking many of his hearers would say "that's right," "hit 'em agin," etc. Daniel Young (colored) then stepped upon the rostrum.

The principal part of Daniel's speech was a roast of Charley Benning. Daniel lives in the same ward with Charley, and claims that Mr. B. is a bulldozer from away back. He also stated that the ringsters tried to force the Gilbert men of the Third Ward to support the nominee of the convention.

Daniel don't believe in "focing." His speech was a good one and well received. With a little practice Daniel would make an excellent stump orator. Music by the band. F. W.

Raymond came next, Mr. R. said he had a bad cold and could hot talk much, and amid cries of "louder, louder," he stated that he desired to make a motion. The motion was to the effect that the chair appoint a committee of three to have tickets printed To be or not to be. It's to Bee.
