! "LIRERALv meeting was hel
last night in Armory Hall. Judg
Powers presided. In 4 character
istic speech that slippery iniividua
sounded a note Of war against
Large and respectable class Of hi
own party-thGse who are disssuste'
with the 'sLiberaP' ticket on &C
count ofits atteGuated CALDER. He
uttered a dia,ribe against s'kickers,
giving tie dissatisfied division o.
his party 70 understand that they
had got 10 swallow that tickei
whether they wanted it or not, nc
matter about their being sick at the
stomach. That was the prescrip.
tion and il must be taken down.
That was the spiritO Of his speech, and
heconld nothGvespOken with greater
arrogance if he had occupied the
position Of an aut9crat whose re-
marks were directed 10 his serfs.
Again he reminds one of the
waiter who insisted that a guest Of
the hotel where he was engaged
should take thin sOup,on the ground
that that article of liquid nourish-
snent was on the bill Of fare.
The Judge even INDUCED in figur-
alive threats Of total ostraoism if the
unsubstantiaI repast was not taken
hoIus 5olus. Said the Michigan "buil-
dozer:''
AT there Is q single man training in
our midst who hesiiates TO support the
ticket let him rise and show himself
that he may be marched by the
Zouaves, the band or the drum corps
into the enemy's ranks TO the tune OF
she Rogue's March. The man who re-
fuses 10 stand by the tickle; should !
have his name engraved on the south |
side Of the Mormon Temple FOR the |
bench. Of posterity."
Men Of mimi in the party, on |
whose stomachs the ticket sits heav-
lily, win not relish this diclatorial
and lordly talk from the notorious
manipulation. Whatever manhood |
there Is in the breasts OF those who |
object to the ticket viii rise in re-
beiliOn against being treated as 50
many slaves whose sole political
duty is TO DO as they are told and
ask no questions.
From the air Of a lordly autOcrat,
the speaker made a sudden drep to
the position of fiabby-minded ina
beetle, as if he were 4 double indi-
viduality, like DR.. JekyIl and Mr..
Hyde. Otherwise how could he
have uttered the following I'M
drivel:
The Saints are becoming so afraid Of
The name OF Scott that they look under
their beds At night to see If he is there,
and try to frighIen refractory children
into silence by telling them George II. |
Scott is coming.
Now, such chiFpering is altogether
''tOo utterly utter.'' ANY one would
suppose that Mr.. Scott, whem we
understand to be a more or less
nild-mannered man, was a second
Burke, or Hare, who, in the city Of
Edinburgh, good many years ago,
5EppEed surgeons with subjects for
experimental dissection by invading
he graves Of the dead, and murder
ing people for the same purpose
Then' the ordinary death rate was ,
too light to meet the demand. II
The former cry has been that the
'Eiberais'' intended to put up =
candidate for the Mayofalty that ,
nobody, even on the Peoples side,
sould OBJECT to, but, according to
fudge Powers, a hobgobiin that
.rightens women and children has
ocen placed At the head of the
ticket.
Mr.. !. N. Young, candidate Of the ,
opposition for marshal, made a few
which must have sounded
o the listeners 4 good deal like, !
Where did you get that hate,
That is to say, they could hardly do
'therwise than inwGrily calculate.
i guess we have heard that a good
many times before. Can't you give
IS just = little Of something fresh?,,
The report slys ''AIr. Young t
iosed with an earnest appeal for in !
dependent speech and thought. >, 7
he ''thought'' part Of the pcrora- t
ion may be dismissed peremptoriiy, L
s even the pronounced Liberals. ,, S
Nth all their arrogance and tyran- I
y, have as yet failed to invent a
recess that would stop the opera. o
ons Of a mans 'thinker.- The $
lea for independent speech'' was, :
owever, weli-timej, in view OF the s.
lct that if anybody there had ex. d
ressed any sentiment in opposition y
the poor general quality Of the +,
Liberal'' ticket he would have I
God in danger Of being "irummed Il
1t " according to the penalty pre- IT
ribed 10y the man from Michigan.
