The Irish-American Independents met yes
terday afternoon at Clarendon Hall to receive
the report OF the Committee on Plan OF Organ
ization. There were more than a hundred
persons present, and among them were three
or four emfssaries OF the County Democracy
who sought to create disturbance, but were
quietly yet promptly suppressed. The COM
mittee report ID that the name OF the organi-
cation should be "The IrishAmerican indie
pendents;" that a meeting to ratify the nomi-
nations OF Blaine and Logan.shouid be held at
an early day, and that u delegate from each
Assembly District should be appointed to form
central body TO be known as the General
Committee on Organization.
Tho proposed name OF the organization pro-
voked much discussion, several men contend
ing that the title OF the organization should

majority OF those present. The matter was,
however, referred back to the committee,

nance with the sentiment OF the meeting.

"The Anti.Monopoly League OF tho Twenty
second District, many OF whom are Irish,

citizens of this country shall be protected In
foreign lands, and shall not be cast into
foreign dungeons without trial and without
probable cause; that American industry shall
be protected and that American ships shall
carry American goods. Irish-Americans have
come into this country because, thanks to the
oppression OF Free Trade, they could not earn
a fair living at homo. And they are here con-
fronted with a party, calling itself Demo-
cratic, which is trying TO establish the English
system for the enrichment OF British manu-.
facturere, and the assumed benefit OF few
American importers.
