LIVELY MEETING IN THE TWENTY
FIRST DISTRICT.
The Star Always Correct.

An adjourned meeting of the republican club
OF the Twenty first district was held last night
at Kaiser Hall, On Capitol Hill, to complete
the organization. Sidney W. Herbert occupied
the chair, with VIM. II. Brown as secretary.
The Chair, on opening the meeting, stated
that the Scene7 of the last meeting had not re-
Elected any credit on the club and he counseled
the mt mbers not TO repeat the disorders.
A. Bradshaw called for the reading of the last
minutes; and after considerable copfusion-some
one moving that the reading be dispensed with
the secretary proceeded to read the proceedin, Is
as reported in THE STAR The vote being on
their adoption, great confusion took place, some
clamoring that they were not correct, and
should be laid on the table; while the secretary
and the chair contended that they were as cor
the tumult of the occasion. Nearly all present
were talking at once, and the chair appointed
Mike Sinner as sergeant-at alarms.
VIM. Boron objected to the adoption of the pro-
cGedings as read.
The chair begged them to vote it down if they
desired to, but for Gods sake not to keep up
su CHI a confusion.
VIM. II. Brown desired to know whether, if
they rejected the minutes as read, the election OF
Mr.. Herbert would be valid.
Z. ID. Gaines asked il the report as read from
THE STAR was the correct report.
The chair" 1t is the best report made"
Gaines" If that's so, what is the use of hav-
ing secretary he wanted no gag law"
The chair" Shall the proceedings be
adopted 2" tVOices-"Yes yes, and no."l
The vote was then taken, and the proceedings
as reported in THE STAR were declared adopted
dent. VIM. III. Brown, VIM. L. Davis, Edward
ii. Marshall, VIM. Boron, and Joseph III. Weems
were nominated Mr.. Brown declined. The
disorder S was 80 great that it was impossible to
reminded them that they were damning them
selves. He insisted that they should not crowd
upon the stand too close, and called upon the
sergeant alarms, when Mike Sinner went for
them, and they made retrOgi ade movement in
post-haste. The nominations were then closed
MI Brown stated that every man who voted
"a oir.cf fI.. - n pnn
loan.
Davis" That's a lie.''
Brown continued, saying that the colored men
OF the Dist district were led around by set of
poor white men with their shirt tails out
Voices" That's lie, to-" "Put him OUT
oh, you T shut up, Bill Brown; you talk too
poise. You are nothing but boys and Minors,
A one-aTmed man by the name of Brace was
pretty loud talker, and Mike Sinner told him
70 Shet up, or he'd flank him on the other
A vote was here taken, and A. Campbell was
declared vice president amid great confu-
sion. Lieut.. Austin and his men were present,
and coming forward with them the hubbub sim
mere0 down.
Several nominations were made for secretary.
and finally Clarence NJ. Barton was declared
their choice. Jos. II. Weems was then elected
treasurer, NJ. Sinner declining.
The Chair then declared the Offices all filed
and expressed his modification that so much
confusion had occurred He stated that there
was plan on foot BY few to break up the
party in their district. These disorganizers were
the dollars and cents men, who cared for none
but themselves. One of the newspapers had
done him great injustice in the report Of the
last meeting.
VIM. Brown rose to personal explanation,
charging that the Republican newspaper was
uylbg 70 burst up the party, and Governor
Cooke should exercise his authority over it, as il
was really his paper. The colored men OF the
District were in favor OF the -, 900 ,0c0 loan and
VIM. Boron rose TO a point that it did not be-
this city.
STAR had made a fair and decent report.
Mike Sinner got the floor, and expressed his
sorrow TO see so much confusion among his race;
he dared any one to say that he had not done all
he could for his race. He was not afraid to
speak his sentiment. He charged them that it
was folly TO butt agin the present authorities he
was glad tor one, that they had a Board of Pub
lie Works, who would set price on Jobs of
work. The colored people are fighting to take
bread out OF their own mouths. Some of these
people think they have heap of influence, but
they have no more than pOlecat has. As for
the loan bill, as Napoleon said when he rid into
the Church OF Rome andsaw them twelve golden
deeiples set up thar, 'You come into the world
TO do good and by golly you shil do it." He for
one was glad they have Board of Public
Works. Now these ROSTERS who have undertaken
to use the workingmen for their own profit have
got 70 go under. he wou'd speak the truth,
without fear, and stand to his principles. Heaven
ana earth may pass away, put the principles of
Mike shall never pass. (Voices.-..Good for
Mike Bully old MAINLAND the meeting
