The Liberal League branch Of the n. g.
L. Party met in sseugsr Hall last evening,
for the purpose of discovering whether the
uptown faction Of the same party was run
by the poetoffiee or was In the interest Of
the great cause as were they, ,,,,.,,I
Mr.. Moore stated that as committee Of
8 be appointed to confer, with the uptown
faction, he had gone, but bsd found some
very back hand actions on the part Of ltd
members, andas he could get neither fair
play nor satisfaction, he had left the place
in disenst. ,....,...,. ,.....,t's nl roilgHo7
Mr.. Lpary here made motion that the
report of the committee be, accepted ana the
committee be discharged, and then Barney

Mr.. Doyle was Of the opinien that there
was no Balm in Gilead" for q reconcilia>
while the faction Of greeDbackers In iques-
tion acted as they did, After denouDcins
secrecy in all political parties the speaker
finally wandered round to Ben. Butler,
whom he lauded to the skies and defended
from the charge Of stealing spoons. ~
Mr.. Leary's motion was finally carried,
and that gentleman made another motion
to the effect that committee of three be
appointed to confer with the similar. COM
mittee already appointed by the mysterious
faction.
Frisco Rosenblatt objected to this on the
grounds that such thing had just been at
tempted, but had failed.
Mr.. Leary supported bis motion, and Mr..
Moore managed to draw attention from 1t
for short time BY advocating the lcomplei
tion of the ward organization. We want
to get to work, said he, but he was there
interrupted by voice which exclaimed;
"YouIl never get to work; you talk 90
darned much" f-i-'i'@ D1't 4 as2ai |
| After o long and rambling discussion Of
dullness and obscurity, Mr.. Leary's motion
was adopted, and the chair appointed the
committee 90 follows: James Leary, r.
Scheu and John Doyle. g'H 7a '-'

which was that the organization was to get
together and get head to 1t somehow, so
THAT It could succeed. Thediscussion ended
in talk as 1T had begun Finally Mr..
Rosenblstt called on Mr.. Lewis, member
of the rival faction, for an explanation, and
Mr.. Lewis stated that he and bis colleagues
did not desire to capture the other move+
ment, but only wanted to get organized. BE
had q little word or two to say about tho
reporters. One In particular (the REPUB-
lLIcAN man, had headed his report Of last
nights meeting, "a Kink in the Kearney
Canap,' ,'n and also intlmsted that the post
/ Office was Of It's head. which was not true.
Mr.. Price thought it best for the party to
get paper of its own, and every one APP
plauded. :, and then some one moved that
all present stop the REPUBLICAN, and they
applauded louder. ''l'. 2J q" .-~i'.S% y !
Mr.. DOYLE here arose and said that the
condition of affairs to-day were owing to the
press being subsidized. / can stand all the
press can say about me, and don't care,
'Thsv had better let me alone, though, for
can write an article as well as they can, and
IIu do It some of these days. The presi
can't conquer you. have lived in Della
ware for thirty-si years, and never had ar
officer to take me by the shoulder. The
press supports class of men who have pur
chased It, and who vampife-like suck oul
hearts blood, Some day, Mr.. papers, yor
will want our patronage. The press of thii
citv. exclaimed Mr.. Doyle, warming up
moving one fist around his head and bring
inc the other down upon the piano with ter
rife force, and all the time eying the HER
AID man with ferocity; the press of thil
D city had better look out. A reporter tried
ri to steal Bishop Becker's address from ST
Pauls church once, and we don't want ths
living. thieying scamps here to steal oul
speeches and our ideas, and now mark my
! words, they'd better let US alone. Durinf
' Mr.. Doyle's speech the widest Joy wal
|, manifested by the audience, and the up
fl plause was simply terrific.
Nessrs. Crawford and Rosenblatt defen'
ded the reporters, the former gentlemai
: saying that the papers gave many gratui
tous notices and generally, impartial reports
A good bit of talk followed about news
papers, and editor Scheu, of the Sunda.
Q Dispatch gave his ideas of penny Green
X back paper, which he proposed to start If b
could get some encouragement. Lmi !
By this time It had occurred to Mr.. Doyl
;, that he had been too rough on the reporter
|, and tried to apologize, but Mr.. Leary iB
Iterrupted him and said whatever ha
y been written shall remain, nor be erased
e written over again, and its that way will
). your speech, it's too late nowi"
's The meeting soon after adjourned, an
