JUDGE MooRE NAILS HIS CoLoEs TO tbs
MAST. sc.
A meeting OF the Democratic jackson Asso-
citation was held lasf night a. Beck { hall. MIR.
John f. Norris in the chair and twenty-one OF the
faithful present. The chair announced that the
first ana most important thing on hand would
be the receiving of dues from the members.
An uncomfortable pause OF a few minutes fol-
lowed this appeal, during which three members
walked up, and the treasury was re;,ienished
with-seventy- cents, The secretary here
made another pathetic appeal saying that the
ing, and for the reputation of the good old asso-
citation he hopod members would pay 20.
DIT Culver asked il the treasury was absolutely
depleted?
The chair informed him thst there was
COT SHOT IN TIE LOCKER,
and the treasurer, who was then absent. had in
formed him that he was out OF pocket upwards
OF 50 OF his own money which was really A dis
credltable state OF affairs, and didn't tell well
for the running capacity of the Dem. Jack Ass.
The owner of the hall is squirting them up for
rent, and he thought they should take up a col
lection and square with him at all e-cnts. Mr..
b. L. Swart remarked that he had nearly y ayed
out with the paying OF bills aud hard luck gene
rally, hut he would 90 81 more. Here he walked
forward Snd planked down his money.
DR.. Culver suggested that II the members
could be waited upon by collectors, ami in
formed of TIL lack OF material aid and the state
OF largui>bment they are in, there would be no
trouble about getting the cash. lie took the
occasion of complimen,ing MIR. Swsrt for his
powerful III erality AMI yea in the good cause
and lie, for one, was unwilling to
RIDE a FREg HORSE TO DEATH.
AS Tor himself he had no money now, but would
hand IN his dues to- morrow.
Mr.. Swart returned his thanks for the compli-
mt aid Linn by the doctor, and suggested 10 the
chair that they had better have three collectors
instead oil one so a. to have no failure.
Dr. Clayton expressed himself as very sorry
that they had so little funds but misery loves
company they say-he here produced letter
mond, Va, TO the congressional committee of
this city, asking for funds to carry on the cam
paign in that state. rs they had not a dollar
there to help the radical cause. If that party,
with the pletboric purse of Uncle Sam to fall
back upon, get strapped, what could be expec-
ted OF the democrats who have been out so
but would pay his dues or break trace. els it
possible asked the doctor, with great en-
phasis,) that this noble and historic association
is going to die with chill +! q nervous chill too

his was not the case in days past and gone.
The history OF the past campaign was one to
cause them to pause and think why is this state
of things? Are there no democrats left, OF are
they all sold out? He thanked God that he was
not one OF the selling out kind he was like the
old coon that could
FIGHT JUST as WELL on HIS BACK.
II they are defeated on next Tuesday, ii will be
by the climax Of fraud, ard this republican
| form Of government cannot survive another
such stupendous fraud! The officials in power
had decided beforehand how much majority
they were TO have, and will no doubt carry out
their fraudulent programme after the mOckery
OF an election is held. He believed it was moth
ing bat fear on the part OF the radicals in Indi-
ana that prevented them from deciding Hen

the consequences. He reviewed the recent
state elections In PENNSYLVANIA and other states

dented, and no better authority than he could
be found on such matters. In allusion to the
INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR WILSON,
as published in The STAR of Yesterday, the
speaker said it was part of the programme
agreed upon In advance by the leaders of the
republican party to have Just the maiorities
which Wilson had named, and il Lad been pub
l.shed for effect. He called upon Judge Moore
to give his views.
The chair said that the committee on collec-
tons must first be chosen, TO get funds to paw
up their debts, but first let them take up con-
u1bution to pay the hall rent. They owed 81 50
on that score, and he would be one OF seven to
make up the amount. Contributions then came
in slowly, and the amount was reduced to sl.15.
Judge Moore then took the soor and remind
ed them that they were wasting their strength
IN meeting and doing nothing but talk. They
had

lie had been fighting the enemy in Pennsylva-
ma, and was now going into Maryland. He
thought II unnecessary to talk longer, as they
had no votes to make here. He begged to di fer
with DR.. Clayton, and believed that Greeley
would be elected, although it was held by some

again, which would be the last feather on the

The chair announced the collection commit
