Both those who obtained admittance to the
| meeting at Union League Hall last evening for
the purpose of breaking up the same, and the
less fortunate ones who had to remain outside,
proceeded, after the adjournment OF the same,
to the Aldermen's Chamber i'm the City Hall to
| express their feelings at being unsuccessful in
breaking up the reform meeting.
| Mr.. ID. Is. Peck was chosen Chairman, and f.
Atkinson, Secretary, both of whom spoke at
length, the gist Of both their addresses being,
that the meeting at Union League Hall was a
public meeting. and although it was called for
anti-Bowen men. still they had right to attend
it, and that majOrities governed in all cases.
A. NJ: Green offered resolution, which was
adopted, rendering the thanks OF the meeting to
Joe Brooks and the other diSturters of the
Union League Hall meeting.

A. nj. Green then offered more resolutions,
which were adopted, endorsing the action OF the
recent National Labor Convention, pledging the
meeting to strengthen and augment the power
Of the Central WOrkingmens Association, and
indorsing the New Era newspaper as deserving
Of their unanimous support and cooperation.
Mike Sinner then gave those present some
sensible advice. He was opposed to mixed
schoOls-thOught it would injure and break up
the Republican party. He was for Bowen, and
thought the Republicans ought to stick to him,
whether they got offices or not. He didn't like
these big Republicans who promised the black
Fillmore died politically; and what, then, would
become Of Crane, Crossman, Hatton, and
Gaines?
A. M. Green offered the following preamble
and resolutions, which we're adopted:
