GREENBACK GLoRIFICAT1oN.

THE MEETING OF THE GREENBACKERs TO
NOMINATE A MAN FOR MAYoR-CAPT.
GALLAaHER's PLAN NIPPED IN THE BUD
WIN. A. MURPHY THE NOMINEE.
A meeting of the N. G. L. party was held
last evening in s@nger Hall for the purpose
of making nomination for Mayor. The
room was well filled and the meeting was
presided over by William Price.
After the meeting had been called to
order a motion was made that committee
of three be appointed to select candidate
for Mayor.
Mr., Crawford was of the opinion that the
nomination of candidate would be suici-
dal, and If it was done the party would be
the laughing stock of the community. The
nomination had been put off too long, and
all the Democrats and Republicans bave
their minds made up as to how they will
vote at this late stage of the canvass.
DR.. Welch asked those who might be
opposed whether they came as Democrats,
Republicans, or Workingmen. If as Work
ingmen then it is our duty to rally in the
cause of right. If we poll but SO votes It
will show there is SO freepen in Whining

Mr.. Leary would like all to have the
courage the doctor had. The new party
has to fight against organized men. Thus
far we have nothing except good men and
good principles. However we want more
time. tog Ha o F-
"A level-headed Tueton here arose and ex-
pressed his opinion that at this time there

70 see the two old parties fight 1t out.
There are men here who have come to
create disorder among us, and am awfully
l afraid we will be made laughing stocks of.
| DR.. Marshall am the only man in Del,
aware who voted for Peter Cooper; people
laughed at me then, but I didn't care for
that. Let us go to work and nominate
man for Mayor. .... ..-.
The Chair was about to decide the ques-
tion on rising vote, when DR.. Marshall
arose, cried "Hold on, now; we've got q
room full of men here who don't belong to
this party. Don't let them tumble us out
in that way"
The young, level-headed Teuton already
mentioned objected to DR.. Marshall taking
part when he did not have anything to do
with organizing the party, and in an in-
stant the irrepressible doctor was on his
feet again and gave the information that he
helped to organize the movement.
DIR. Welch-I am greenback man to the
backbone. know we can poll respecta-
BILE vote. Instead of being help to Mr..
Gallagher or Mr.. Almond we can help our
own cause. have been speech collector
and q greenbacker for years and I know
what the result will be. We are not selling
out to any one just yet. Oh, no! Gap
plause.)
For the first time during the evening q
figure rose while DR.. Welch was speaking.
It was none other than the right bower of
Post Master Pyle, Mr.. Jackson. He waited
while DR.. Welch concluded his remarks,
when he asked:
cdr. Welch are you not In the interest of
one Of the two candidates" ?"
| The storm of indignation which came
down upon his devoted head was simply
terrific, and many objected to the question
being because he was holder of office in q
thigh place.
DR.. Welch, when permitted to speak sail
that he helped to organize to organize the
movement and then some one asked Mr..
jackson If he was green hacker, and he
replied that he had been member away
back when the meeting was first organized.

The excitement over this little effort to
capture the meeting turned out to be per-
feet hornets nest about Mr.. Jackson's ears,
and DR.. Marshall, springtng to his 1eet ex-
lcitedly asked If It was the intention OF
of greenbackers to let Captain Gallagher
capture the meeting, and jackson told him
to 90 to the devil.
u Mr.. Crawford again said it was too late
too do any good, but the roll was gone
lover, and each person voting as his name
Twas called gave the following result: Yeas,
I25; nays, 9.
Considerable discussion was then INDUCED
in as to how the committee was to be ap
pointed, which resulted in the chair naming
1t as follows: Samuel Marshall, j. 8. Bull
lock, Benjamin. B. Cooper.
The committee then reported In favor of
IWm. A. Murphy.
After some little discussion the nomina-
ton was made I'm animous, after which
there was speaking by Mr. Davis, of the
Liberal League, and Mr.. Murphy.
