Exciting Scene In the National Liberal
Chairman spencer Expelled.
CHICAGO, September 2Oth.-Yesteriay's work by
the Liberal League consisted OF listening to some
very oeral aud intolerant speeches and in the ex-
pul-ion Of r. +. Spencer. who was Charm an of the
Committee on Future Work, and who when Robert
Ingersoll resigned, led the minority in oppos ion to
in favor Of more reputable planks in the platform
His croaning ,fense was the Cffer Of the following
saiircal resolution:
''Res0.ued That the National Liberal League, aux.
Hilary Leagues and kindred organizations recon-
mended 10 consider the propriety and wisdom of
allowing the National Congress of Liberal Leagues
TO denounce all the people and powers that be that
said Congress shall be empowered to go at once TO
WORK t. remedy all the evils and bury all the ills of
the world, according TO their very liberal peculiar
ide az respecting the same"
Spencer was promptly denounced. He thereupon
stirred up hornets mes: still more interesting by
offering the following resolution:
81 Resolred That the Fourth Congress Of the Ma
tional Liberal leagues commend 10 the consh-
sideration Of auxiliary Leagues and kindred organ
zltions the propricty and wisd, nj Of turning the
management and control Of the organization over to
the religious sect of piritGalists and the squad Of
avowed practical fIee-Lovers"
The excitement grew very demonstrative and he
was forthwith expelled by almost Unanimous
vote In private conversation he afterwards said he
was fully cognzant OF the Infamous and abaminable
things practiced by those who seemed 10 be IN the
majority ia the Leagues. He was glad to get out
1t. The remaining hours of the session spent
in denouncing tie expelled member and lngersolfs
religion, and in advertising their various books.
The whole session SO far has been noisy, garrulous
blasphemous nd critic, IS may be inferred fro.i
the following paition OF a speech made by of
their msmbers and listened TO wi h gravity by some
of the auditors Look at my haIr. Look at my
