methodist Methodi ht olty city officials was waa hold held in church in this city the large buila ing was packed on the OC occasion Cablon ai almosa most liberals the entire audience being many of them prominent ut of that party we will let them answer the denials of the organ of the eusea rora fora democrats here is an extract from the report of a speech made by mr frank 13 stephens liens emr mr stephens used some very plain language condemnatory of the persecution of fallen women by dragging them before police courts couns and imposing heavy lines merely to lo enrich the tre treaburn abury of and which only sunk them to the ci city ty lower depths ot of degradation to earn the money one remon reason why they were dragged before the courts and punished for infractions of t the he laws while gamblers and whisky sellers were allowed to pursue a lawless course with impunity was because they bad no votes gamblers anak had votes voles hence their immunity from prosecution atre is another of the same george P F wanless stated that the city authorities had failed to fulfil fulfill the promises iseson ol 01 the liberal party i that hat it would give a better and purer government than the one which had preceded it A few months ago when he came from denver sundays were so 80 quiet and orderly that a stranger would not have supposed that there were any saloons in the city since then a great change has come Saloon 4 were multiplied all over the city they were running on sundays as on other days in defiance of law and ladies and children could not walk the streets without their ears being shocked with wilh obscene and profane language the result of enforcement of the ibe laws was the flocking here of criminals from other quarters seeking a field where they could commit crimes with impunity hence nee this city is flooded with loose and dangerous characters we demand an enforcement of the laws it is a slander upon the respectable citizens that brothels broi hels and saloons are so numerous their exist it once ance is opposed to the moral sense of the people it is folly to say that the city government is helpless to cure these evils or at least hold them in cheek check apply the laws that have been passed by the legislature and the city ordinances if this shall be done the reformation demanded will be accomplished shed let the mayor and marshal go ahead with the work of reformation if not a few petty officers will not stad stand in the way ot of the enforcement of the laws made for the preservation and protection tea te 0 i t it feln an extract from the thee speech of mr F E gregg has any one a compliment to pay the city council you perhaps have heard the story of the man who died and whose character was such that it was wa thought that no one could possibly say sava a good word for him finally a charitable man while gazing at the he face of the corpse remarked well he had a good set get of teeth this gathering is in the nature of a terrible rebuke to them and is a strong weapon in the hands of the political opponents of the liberal party it is ia time the city authorities mended their ways Crini crimes ies are being condoned hig highway hway robberies are being committed dally daily or nightly licenses to sell whisky are granted without limit the non enforce ment of the laws has brought many vicious men to our city the councilmen must be given to understand under tand that they agrenot are not in office as individuals or A representing individuals or classes the w whole 0 trouble lies in the fact that every member of that body has been approached by friends and interested who have said now you must understand that we must have so and so this has brought the city to the situation against which we most emphatically protest dr iliff and pays a cimpl ment meat to the peoples people is party municipal government dr iliff said that newer never before had there existed in this city the necessity for a meeting of this character he had a genuine respect for the mayor of the city and for certain other members of the city council he had voted and enthusiastically every member of the present city council because the thought that in doing to he be was waa working for the best beat in of the whole people but when he found that ordinances which every goud good man believed were just and right were ignored he was before the
