LOCKING THE STABLE

With which remark the Seance ended,
and the sage philosopher of the Eighth
ward wended his way homeward.
LOCKING THE STABLE
After the Aldermanic Horse Has
Been Stolen.
The citizens of the Seventh ward held
mass meeting last night at the corner
of Cedar avenue and Lake street to dis
cuss the action of their representatives.
Aid. Perry, Melloy and Flalen, in vot-
ing against the Anderson q Douglass
franchise. There was a large attend
ance at the meeting and good deal of
bitter feeling evinced toward the men,
who were several times during the
evening eulOgiZed as having betrayed
the trust repoSed in them.
After the chairman and secretary had
been selected the meeting went prompt
ly to work on the subject at hand.
There was no mincing of words or COW
ering of meaning. The speakers said
just what they meant, and roasted the
aldermen without reserve.
H. S. Golf set the ball rolling by
sharp. brief speech, denOuncing the &C
tiOn of councilmen most prOnOuncedly.
Robert ChristianSon followed with q
lengthy address in which he reclted the
wrongs that the street car company had
heaped upon the people, and he pre-
dicted that in the future it would only
make improvements as it was forced to.
He lamented the fact that the Seventh
ward should be the one,to furnish unan-
spoke of one of their aldermen
on''''i on the ''1,red previous s. night that
was W. IH Fiatsh, 5'eMd said TIE SPEAKER, II clos
ing, and from the derisive shouts it
would seem evident that some of the
gentlemen present knew something OF
whatever that "dose" might be. In
closing Mr.. Christianson moved that a
committee be appointed to draw up res
olutions condemning the action of the
aldermen. The motion was carried and
ii. S. Golf, Robert Christianson and L.
B. Hawkins were set at work resolving
the sentiments of the meeting into
writing.
During the interval this committee
was at work, numerous short speeches
we're made, in which the aldermen
were called some pretty bad names.
One man thought the aldermen would
not want to do anything the rest of
their lives but speculate in railroad
stock. Many intimations were made
that they had been bought.
Two resolutions were presented by
the committee and both were adopted,
and motion was carried that copy be
sent to each of the aldermen of the
ward.
The resolutions of II. S. Golf and
Robert Christianson were the ones
adopted and read as follows:
Resolved That the aldermen Of the Sew
enth ward should have voted on the Ander-
son d Douglas proposition in accordance
with the instructions given them by their
constituents in mass meeting assembled
That we now ask them especially and en-
phaticallv never again to vote in favor of
measure that would saddle an eternal mo
nOpoly of any nature whatsoever upon the
citizens of Minneapolis
Resolved, That we, the citizens and tax
payers of the Seventh ward in mass meeting
assembled, do most sincerely regret that the
aldermen of this ward refused to carry out
the wishes of their constituents. in Lot only
transportation, but condemn the act
of said aldermen for not only
voting for no competition, but to make the
franchise exclusive forever. adding insult to
injury, and we now demand from said alder
men their immediate resignation, 10 make
room for some one who will carry out the
wishes of their constituents, and not betray
the trust betrayed i'll them; and resolved fur
ther, that if they do not resign we pledge
ourselves never again to vote for said per-
sons for any Office.
BRADISH ASKED TO RESIGN.
The Ninth ward was evidently not in
humor for an Indignation meeting last
evening, judging by the small number
who answered the call. Aid. Bradish
was the man whose case was to be con-
sidered, but inasmuch as only
half-hundred of his constituents
were present, it is to be
presumed that the proceedings last
evening will hardly 90 as the sentiment
of the ward. A number of the alder
mans friends were present, and they
stoutly maintained that it was the feel
ing of the majority of the voters of the
ward that. Bladish is all right. But the
meeting last evening said No" Capt.
A. H. Nelson was chosen chairman of
the principal address of the even
ing. He had no compliments for
the alderman. Quite the reverse. He
didn't like to call him knave, he said,
but at the same time any one knew that
he was no fool and they could therefore
make their own inferences. He didn't
believe either that it would do any good
to ask him to resign, as he had plainly
lost all respect for himself. and Ger
tainly he had for his constituents. The
motion was put. however, that Aid.
Bradish be requested to resign his seat
in the council at once, and it was passed
as the unanimous sentiment of the
meeting. Aid. Vogt and Rhode were
present and made brief remarks. The
former put in good word for his alb
sent colleague. but it fell very flat.
Other resolutions were then passed
thanking Messrs. Vogt and Rhode for
the valiant stand they took In the mat
ter. and also Anderson & Douglass for
the shadow of competition which they
had hrnupht ahnnt
