Young Democrats of tns sixth ward Who Proposa to Support Robert U. Gates for SherfM-A Lively Meeting.
 The independent movement among the young men in the Sixth ward who do not in- tend to be any longer the victims of political
 bossism developed last evening quite healthy proportions. Franklin Hall was well filled
 with men, most of them sympathizsrs with the new movement 4 few Of the old Demo- cratic liners literally dosed with ssbenzine's rolled into the hall and tried by means of side
 remarks and objections to divert the purpose of the meeting. .Bnt the blood of the young men was thoroughly aroused and they show cd the hrmness of their intentions by l promptly ..bouncing'' all the enemies of in- dependence who attempted to run the meet l ing. But it was 3 very good-natured meet ing and it ran it's course without any serious 1 opposition. Mr. Edward Bellew, young
 man of intelligent appearances and good pro- portions, called the meeting to order. He 1 said s. - s.sss, ~ Gentlemen, I suppose you understand why this meeting has been called. There has been great dissatisfaction with the way things have been run in this ward. It rests with you whether this state of things goes on. see that you are men of intelligence and
 brilliancy, but too fond of fun to take great interest in politics It is the all absorbing question: We have supported the Demo-
 cratic party long enough. As long as you. vote for Catlin and those Jim Grows
 they will call you suckers They
 ought now to find out that they cannot work us. Let's show them what we can do. ," (Great applause. MT. Bellew was chosen | president. Mir. John Me1ia was chosen sec retary. MT. William Fitzpatrick was nomi- mated for treasurer, but the house voted to allow the chairman to appoint a treasurer. MT. John Coyne was appointed. The chair appointed as 8 committee on resolutions While they withdrew to draw up the resolu- tions, the chairman asked any man who wanted to speak his mind to como forward. As no one responded, the chairman said that
 the only way to prevent the state of dis satisfaction that existed was by going to the polls and voting against CatIin. Now
 let this Democratic party feel your strength. They can't afford to lose you. What did they ever do for you? I am not an eloquent man, but know what I am talking about. I
 know that the majority of you are men of good character and just as capable of filling positioDin the aldermanic or council cham Der as those who are there. have grown up with you and know just what you are. :" The secretary read the report of the com mittee on resolutions which was as follows:
 Whereas, Every honest Democrat dissents from the recent nomination for sheriff made by the Democratic party; we, the young in-
 dependents Of the Sixth ward, offer the fol-
 lowing set of resolutions subject to all voters
 pleasure:
 Resolved, That we, independent young
 men of the city of New Haven, prove our
 allegiance to George A. Stevens, the peoples choice.
 Resolved, That we do our utmost to de. feat Wn. B. Oatlin in his political aims. and also refute the statement that this is one
 mans ward sf5.rs.s-.
 Resolved, That on election day we cast
 our votes for Robert O. Gates, g man with
 out blemish, who when elected will do all in
 his power to serve the ends of justice and satisfy all honest, square, dealing men,.
 The henchmen here tried to interposs, and cries were heard to .'tadjourn for week" and other such sentiments were expressed,
 but the young mon stood firm and passed the resolutions. After that was done, Mir
 Bellew made few remarks s'You all know
 Catlin, who he is and what he is
 Where did he ever earn dol lar outside the Democratic partyf He WAS chief of police once and then accepted a position as supernumerary That is the man who claims he runs the ward and the city and says he controls (, 6,O00 votes. Are we going to let this man control us any longerP" Cries of s'No! No! Down with Boss Catlin" were heard on all sides. After few more words the chairman announced that Judges Deming and Studley would speak on Friday evening and after an invitation for all to hear those speakers had been given the meeting adjourned. ss -srs s,,.t
