MEETING OF the republicans"(?) OF the
sixth district vss held at StOtt's hall last night
10 reOTganiZe tie club for the year. James
Waugh presided and \. ). Grant acted a. sec
Rotary. The object OF the meeting was stated
and they proceeded to organize. A. IL. Under
wood was elected president, A. 5. Grant and
John kell vice presidents, and ID. Lewis secre-
tsTy.
MIR. Underwood, on being escorted to the
chair, made quite a speech, in which ne said
that although the hmes We're dull politically, IL
was their duty to keep up an organization, ana
show Congress that they are unwilling to be
ossracised and are opposed TO a mOnarchial
government. When Congress meets there will
&c parties presenting themselves as representa-
tyes OF the people, and asking for what the PEG
pie do not want. He had seen such persJns;
one in the last legislature professed 20 be re
publican, and yet be proposed to impose poll
tax, and made a direct blow at negro suffrage.
Such republicans needed looking after, and the
clubs should be organized, so If Congress at
tempts to impose upon us any anti Republican
measures they could be told, q" You dare not go
in your states and attempt such measures"
They had seen that some people had been elected
TO stay at home in the states; the people were
tired OF these men coming here and represent
ing the Board of Public Works. This winter
the real estate ard other rings would be going
to Congress with plans for the District govern
ment, and nothing woulh please them better
than to know the republicans were split up into
factions.
Mr.. Lewis addressed the meeting. Congress
had placed the District in charge OF Com
missioDers and We are not being fairly treated,
and to day poverty stsres the laboring men In
the face. The District exists much like Rome
after Cesar. We have three men ruling aod
they have not the interests OF the people at
heart, but are looking at their own homes
These men were altogether i'm Washington Just
before the Fitch Sherman wedding for the first
time for several months and they had arranged
when one was here two were to be away. He
favored the two dollar ard eight hour move
ment and hoped that all lab0ring men would
unite.
A committee, consisting OF Webster Bell and
Grant was appointed to wait upon the president
of the National Labor Council, TO make ar
Tangements for the formation OF a council in the
District OF Columbia.
