The Coogan movement has struck Its first
snag. Early yesterday It was known about
the Belvidero Hotel that Edward Finklestone
OF the BARRIERS Union was out with q paper. to
which he was soliciting signatures to N an
nouncement OF defections from the Coogan
party. This he was circulating among those
who were at the Convention that put Coogan in
nomination 1t was also said at the Belvldere
Hotel that Mr.. Finklestone was presenting s25
apiece to those who listened to his persuasions
and went back on their own nominee, and that
he had secured four names The CooRan man
ayers said that they would block this little
game to-day and prevent any inroads being
made on their strength.
But they were too slow. The disaffected four,
and some others whom they had corralled. got
in their meeting last evening at Clarendon
Hall. The spirit OF the meeting is indicated by
the resolutions passed:
