DEMOCRACY.
A Free Entertainment at the City Hall saturday NIght-The Tsxpayers
 Read Out of the Patty.

 at the City Hall to organize Demo cratic club. There were fully thirty-five Democrats present, and the background contained many Republican spectators, who were present from sheer curiosity.
 The minutes of the previous alleged meeting were read and approved.
 Ihs report of the committee on by laws was called for, when Reformer Browder suggested that the roll be signed first by all who wished io join. It was discovered that Reformer Ses- sions and the roll book were not present. and Reformer White made a motion, seconded by Reformer Lowell. that the report of the committee on bylaws he read now. Reformer Browder objected. but the motion prevailed. Reformer Browder then proceeded to read the very lengthy articles, which embraced almost everything necessary to govern a colony of Tartars, with the omission of obhgating each member to give bonds tO perform such duties as the bosses should tell him to do. A motion was made tO suspend ell otler business until the roll was signed. | Before any action cluld be taken, a mo- ' ton was made to elect officers. Here a point of order Was raised, that the con satution and bylaws must first adopted | to know what offices are to be created. | 4 sharp fire was here opened between J Democrat Strauss and Relormer Stew ems, which created considerable cOnfu- sion.
 An amendment tO all existing motions was then offered that the report of the committee on bylaws be received and the committee discharged, which was announced by the chair as ''the ayes seem ;o have 1.-the ayes have it. Democrat Newton renewed his mo- ton which had been lost in the mael- strom of excitemsnt. that the report of the committee be adopted.
 ReIouner Stevens amended to vote by roll call
 Democrat Lighthizer amended to adopt by sections.
 Some one here suggested that ne thought RefOrmer Stevens only intend ed the final vote to be by roll call.
 The chair thought all present were gentlemen and only those would vote who had signed the roll. The motion to read and adopt section by section was carried.
 Reformer Stevens did not think any ore would attempt to vote who had no right to. They were all Democrats, and why shouldn't their names be read as they vote? Any one not wishing to vote 10 could be silent.
 Democrat Strauss asked If II was not meant meant that only the final adOp- tion of the report be by roll call. 1 Ref0rmeT Stevens answered yCs. Reformer Stevens said he had desired the club called the Democratic Club. but he was now in favor of calling 1t the Cleveland and Hendricks club, and 1t was SO ordered.
 The chair directed the secretary to continue reading the sections until ob- | jection was lnterpOsed. ! After reading several sections, Re former MOroney moved to adopt them as a whole.
 Democrat Strauss offered the follow ing resolution:
 Any member of this club, who Is TOW or may hereafter become a member of any other political association m this ! Territory, hIs name shall be stricken from the roll and he shall lose his mem- bership in this club until such time as l the remaining members may be satisfied that he has severed his connection with all outside organizations. Reformer Browder moved to amend by inserting after the words political association," the words making nomi- na ions."
 Reformer Perry moved to adopt the portion already read aud to postpone the balance.
 The chairman announced the resOlu- tions and amendments were crowdlng in too fast, and as his memory was not the best, they would please reduce them to writing.
 Reformer Perry placed bis substitute in writing. It was second by Reformer Moroney.
 Democrat Strauss did not know that anything would be gained by the delay, and thought every body were suited with the by laws.
 Rsformer Browder moved that Perry's resolutions be laid on the table. Car ried. Mir. Perry rose to point of order and Mr. Strauss said the meeting could rescind such portions of the bylaws as proved objectionable. The question came mp on Strauss resolution. Browder moved his former amendment and wanted to know If the Citizens and Taxpayers organization was construed to mean political organ | iZation.
 l Strauss said he was Yankee and would answer in Yankee fashion by asking If they had not nominated | school trustees; inserted the names Of | their own andIdates-omitted Smith and inserted Gardiner; left off Hughes, and substituted Mrs. Fish Browder replied that Citizens and | Taxpayers never endorsed ticket and never printed a ticket. Mr. Newton called point of order. and then ensued q lively confusion. with | several trying to be heard at the same | time.
 Browder defended the Taxpayers movement; they intended to show by ! iheIr aggregate example the purity of | their motives.
 Mir. Strauss said he had never been ! anything but Democrat, and had al- ways voted the Democratic ticket He | thought the Democratic party had not ! go; SO low that 1t needs a mentor to tell It what IS right. If that IS considered necessary they could count bim out. Cheers The other organization. if not political, what was 1t: They were 10 dictate what persons were to receive their support. If they were honest m their motives and purpose. they should go where they belong and not throw bombshells amOngus.
 MT. BrOwier was glad the gentleman was called out.
 Nr. Stevens asked the chairman to read the two or three frs: lines of the resolution.
 Mir. Stevens said this meant that the club would lose members. He did not hardly catch the meaning.
 Mir Browder said he would explain. Cries of order.
 MT. Stevens sad if the gentleman did not correct the resolution he would vote against IL.
 Mir Strauss asked what was the object of the Citizens and Tsxpay CTS organiza- tiOn:
