his own thoughts. If It is curtailed that is the index of national decay.
 He prophesled the rise of a new spirit, and the time when people will look upon back upon the Chicago execution with the same feeling of shame that they now regard the kil- ling of witches in Massachusetts.
 The audience, led by the chair man, now sang one verse of " John Brown,' and Mir. Yarros, a "peace anarchist V was introduced. He said:
 'Itmight be considered strange that we are met to commemorate the death of murderers, but we are criminals if it is treason to defend justice. Everything that is legal has outived it's time, and progress is not legal Law and order are secret, and not based on common sense or justice, Workingmen were not put on the jury which convicted our mar tyrs. The trial IS not by jury, but by the powers that be, as no one who does not believe in them can get on the jury.
 "ln future reform there is nothing we can do better than to ignore law and order and employ those means that will do the enemy the most harm and us the most good. If thought mb-throwing would do it l should become bomb thrower at once. We are always ready to use logic, reason and argument. Our opponents only answer by killing. But to kill is not to reply.
 "When we are met with gallows and hangings we must meet them with the same weapons if they will effect our ends If l uon't use them it is because think they are dangerous and liable to react.
 1t is great injury to the labor move ment to have lost those men. If people suppress free speech we will show them what bombthrOwing is. They have written articles showing how to sup press a mob, and we have read those arti- cles so that we shall know how to sup press them
 The German Arbelter Liedertafcl sang "Nouvant, after which Mir. Vaughan, of New York, made a speech in which he designated the Wall Street gamblers as anarchists, recommended organization and the use of the ballot, and closed by say ing that when Labor obtains justice we shall have a race without rascal and a world without woe.
 Speeches were made by A. II. Simpson, of Chicago, and Carl Friede and Mrs. Mary Mcrrifeld of this city. A long letter was read from Rev. John C. Kimball of Hart ford, Conn.,, m which he analysed and praised the character of the men.
 A letter was read from W. D. lIowells, the novelist he wrote:
 "l am not public speaker, and what l had to say of the tragedy of Nov. 1 said in my letter printed in the New York Tribune last year, while there was still hope of saving the victims lives"
 The meeting then adopted the following resolutions:
 ReSolred, That the judicial mockery by which one year ago in Chicago three men were sent to the dungeon and five men were put to death, against whom no crime had been proved, was an outrage without parallel in our history and a lasting disgrace to the country. ReSolred, That as these men had com mitted no crime, as they were convicted in defiance of all safeguards of innocence and as they were martyred for their opinions, we denounce their execution Us judicial murder, and as a crime against free speech which puts in peril all our rights.
 Re&Olred, That in defence of the rights on that day struck down. the 1lth day of November must be celebrated as an anniversary sacred to the memory of the martyred dead, till reluctant justice shall crown their names with merited honor; and not till the natural right to think and speak shall be established on d foundation so firm that courts or gov ernments cannot disturb it will the Amer ican people redeem themselves from this | stlnglng infamy
