agreement and that the party uphold and
endorse Whatever action they might take.
MR. BRANN SPEAKS.
On motion committee was appointed
to wait upon Mr.. Brann and notify him
Of the decision reached. During the ab-
sence of the committee Mr.. Brann's
record in this county was gone over by
menwho had an intimate acquaintance
with him, with results creditahle to the
gentleman named. This was done for
the benefit OF several who had not the
privilege of knowing him, and when the
debate ended they expressed themselves
as perfectly willing to trust the labor
cause in his hands. Not alone that, but
all the speakers declared that If the
Sheriff's Office came under his manage
ment it would be cleanly conducted, and
would beyond a doubt relieve this county
from being the horrible example of
political depravity that is at present be-
ing held up TO the disgust of the honest
voters of thiS State.
Mr.. Brann. the chairman informed him
that his name had been selected for pre-
Sentation to the coming conference; that
the party had selected him as their best
possible friend, and that they expected
him to take the interests of the labor
classes into consideration by taking up
their standard and carrying 1t to victory.
Mr. Brann replied that all he could he
would do; that he did not desire the nomi-
nation under any circumstances If they
could get better man to whom he would
willingly give way.
His answer was received with enthu-
Siastfc applause.
Al communication from the Liquor
Dealers Association was then read by
the secretary. embodying the imprudent
resolutions adopted by the State Associa-
ton at Orange Two weeks ago.
1t gave rise to an animated debate, IN
the course of which nearly every member
had his say. 1t was eventually moved
that the circular be endorsed, which was
carried and so recorded.
A DARK HORSE
Then the members went into secret
consultation, the object, 1t was limited,
being to provide for possible emergencies.
and from the confident manner in which
some of the members spoke it is likely
that in the event of fusion failure, there
is still another shot in the sling. From
remarks dropped it seems as If there was
dark horse somewhere around. At any
rate, 1t is certain the labor men are very
much in earnest in their fight against the
Ring.
PRAISE FOR THE ''NEws."
After the meeting adjourned some of
the members wanted to know how that
was DONE" pointing to the list of the
Democratic County Committee in THE
SUNDAY MORNING NEws-they all had
copies of the paper-and gave it as their
opinion that it would do more good than a
carload of campaign literature. "Now,"
said one, "the people know where the SER
wants Of the Ring come from, and can
benefit accordingly. and hope THE NEWS
will keep us posted in the changes that
may be made in that committee, so we
may know the kind of people we have to
deal with. 1t is a stroke of genius that
will be appreciated by every voter and
taxpayer In the city. don't know how
you people got it. but we never knew
what the machinery of the ring was COM
posed of before, and we mean to profit by
the information"
The interview on labor politics was also
criticized and heartily endorsed. AS one
member aptly remarked it was s'the first
time our case had been fairly laid before
the public. and we appreciate the benefits
that we will derive from such a state.
ment 1t will help us get rid of the Ring,
and thai Is our main object at present"
