After new MEMBER had been admitted Mr.
Henry =. Davis wanted 70 know the object
for which the meeting 'Tas called. FaiIinf3
To receive Information on this point satisfac-
tory to his MIND, he riovei An adiournment
out failed TO receive a second. DIR. c. p. Gull
yer sald mat ne was one Of the signers for the
cali for the meeting. The object of 10 was
TOR The purpose OF giving expression To- their
feelings In the late political contest in Ohio;
a contest that was not fought on the prin-
cirles professed by the two political parties,
but one into which issues that should not
enter In political campaign were dragged
he also said that be had another object in
view when he signed the call, and that was
10 give
ENCOURAGEMENT To THEIR FRIENDS IN
PENNsYLvANIA
ana other states where elections are to be
held IN November.
DIR. Culver was continuing further to ex-
Wis, who wanted to know if the speaker
doubted his democratic principles. With n
good deal Of feeling he also asked IL DIR. Gull
yer represented himself as a teacher of the
the charge intimated by Dr. Culver that Mr..
Davis was a luke warm democrat. On this
point
Mr.. Davis said he did not intend To silently
sit under reflections on his principles
Throwing of his cloak, be advanced TO DIR.
Allen, the secretary, and in reply 10 the
charge made by ,that officer that Davis
was chronic grumbler, he said with con-
klCtfaDle EN- .lOaSlS 10 Allen.
'YOU ARE LIAR
Dr. Allen.-"And you are another"
For moment il looked, indeed. as If n
good old timed rUmpuS would ensue. Davis
raised his walking stick over Aliens head,
and made threatening gestures. Allen, in
turn, anchored himself to n chair with the
evident intention of using it as means of
defence in case Davis provoked blows. After
a war OF words the belIigerent feelings OF
the two members were quieted through the
efforts of Mr.. Jesse b. Wilson.
DR.. Culver then continued his remarks. He
said that he did not intend to doubt
BROTHER DAVIS DEMOCRACY
in the least. and he looked in tile direction
where Davis was sitting. when that individ-
ual jumped mp and cried, ''Don't put your
eyes on me, sir" The speaker again assured
Davis that he did not dOu bt his steadfastness
To the principles of the old party. He said he
felt deep Interest in the success of that
party in the coming elections, especially I'm
Pennsylvania, for the result in that state
will decide tie Presidential campaign in
1876.
THE LIE AGAIN.
H =. Davis followed DIR. Culver, saying
That he was the oldest member of the assO-
ciatiOn, and that he had been charged with
not contributing money to aid the party:
that was a lie. He charged DR.. Culver with
arTaigning the democratic party for the de.
feat in Ohio. We have duty to perform he
said, and We ought To perform il; it was a
whitening disgrace that we should be called
here to listen TO a few men veatilate them
selves and malign others. He charged those
having an object in view.
Mr.. MinniX.-"I call the gentleman 10 or
DER He is inIpugning the motives of the
slgne1s of the call for the meeting"
Mr.. Davis was requested not To indulge In
personalities. He then again moved To al
Journ, but no one came To his aid with a
seCoEd, and the motion was not put.
DAVIS ON NOODLES.
Col. +. a. Tyler moved that a committee
Of seven be appointed 10 prepare suitable
paper expressing the views Of the assO-
aTa aalaa L4E
public.
Mr.. Davis said that he certainly could not
vote for The resolution, as il was futile and
ridiculous to attempt to advise the people of
the country that the election in Ohio hal
gore against them, and that they would look
like pack of noodles to do what was pro-
posed by the resolution.
Col Tyler diSclaimed any intention To
ma ke fools of themselves and disgrace tine
democratic party.
DR.. Culver said that there was a DISPOSE
lion Oh the part of some sO-called dem pcratS
IN this city and throughout the states 10
throw
AwET BLANKET
over the old democratic party. He believed
in the project to prepare a paper giving ex-
preston TO their views. The members Of the
press give expression tn their opinions; while
they did not do 1t in dictatOrial sense. they
did IL in manner TO instruct the people
He attributed the defeat in Ohio to tie luke
warmness Of some OF their friends. He closed
by saying that If he had said anything that
had given offense to Brother Davis lac took
IL all back.
Dr. Davis again rose and said that more
than they could write, ard ten times more
than they could publish, had already been
laid before the public during the campaign in
ohio. To attempt TO write any more would
only subject them To Tidicule.
Mr.. DAVIS AGAIN EXCITED.
Debate on the preparation of the paper Sug-
gested in Col. TyleT's motion was then in
dulged in by President Norris, Col. Tyler,
and DIR. Allen. The latter thought that the
PREPARATION Of such paper, expressing the
views of the association was just and proper
He directed the attention of the presiding of
ncer To the fact that he failed to enforce the
rules, by allowing certain members in sit
ting posture TO address the chair.
DR.. Davis, assuming that DR. Allen meant
this as reflection upon himself, again grew
excited Making his way to DR.. Aliens
he assumed threatening at
Several members declared he was not en-
Titled TO the floor. The chair sustained them.
Mr.. Davis.-"1 must have the floor. must
60 on are liar"
DR.. Allen-"I will not allow you'-
CONFUSION here ensued. Mr.. Davis con-
t1nued TO tai TX in loud tone, while a dozen
members called him TO order.
DAVIS GETTING RATHER PERSONAL.
Notwithstanding objections, Mr.. Davis
continued to address himself TO Allen. Said
he: " You are not nt to clean a dog kennel"
Voices from members.-Order! Order,
Dr. Alien SAID ne respected age, but that he
could not submit 10 these remarks.
MONEY FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
Finally DIR. Culver succeeded in retaining
order. He said another object for calling the
association together was to raise funds To
send voters to Pennsylvania who were So
journing here, but who were citizens of that
state, and who would go home to vote IL their
expenses were paid. They were mostly me-
chaDics. and could not afford to pay their ex-
penses home. He believed in fighting the
devil with fire. The republicans were doing
TO send IL cir voters home and
they shOuldsdO the same thing.
Mr.. Davis.-'Now, If you had Just done
That in the first place it would have been
different thing"
1t was then agreed that this subject should
be included in Col. Tyler's motion.
DIR. ALLEN EXPLAINS.
DR.. Allen made personal explanation
relative to his expenses Incurred In his trip
To Ohio. The executive committee were to
raise funds, but objection to IL having been
made by some OF the members on account of
IL being a state election, only $3.50 was
raised. That was not more than One-fifth OF
the amount he spent In going and coming.
Mr.. Wilson then explained how IL came 10
pass that Allen was sent to Ohio. The demo-
Gratis OF that state had requested that q
speaker be sent from Washington and DIR.
Allen was selected. By resolution of the as
at a previous meeting the amount
above stated was ordered to be used i'm de-
fraying DIR. Aliens expenses. Adjourned.
