Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-04-06
SATURDAYS TOWN MEETING.
A Motion to Adjourn For Three Years Prevails,

Prevails.
 The republicans, reinforced by nearly 200 democrats, some of whom were per sonal friends of James Sutton, others the enemies of Fred J. Brown, and many who were disgusted at the way the meeting opened, carried their point at Saturday nights town meeting, and without listening to reason or argument adjourned for three years, leaving un- done many things of great importance.
 When the meeting was called to order by Town Clerk Madden over 1, ,500 men and boy 6 were in the hall and fully half of that number were yelling like Com anche Indians. John O'Neil was finally chosen chairman and the call for the meeting was read by Clerk Madden.
 John $. Neagle then arose, was recog- nized by the chairman. and moved the resembling of all votes of the town which provide that all officers to be elected at an annual town meeting shall be voted for by ballot, and all on one piece of paper. The motion was seconded.
 About this time H. A. Perrr, ,who had been loaded for the occasion, climbed upon d settee and for several minutes acted like a lunatic. He was finally pulled down and Sat upon by his friends and after order had been restored Chair man O'Neil, who was the most con- posed man in tha hall, made an address, in which he said that he had the power, net physical, but legal, to preserve order and that he proposed to do so. He invited those present to say all they pleased and vote as they pleased, but to maintain order. He then stated Mir Neagle's motion and called for remarks. In twinkling Perry was on his feet and at the top of his voice moved that an adjournment be taken for three years. The motion after being seconded, | was put and the roar of those voting in the affirmative made the windows rattle. Then the ''noes" were called for and still louder yell was given. The chairman declared the motion lost. The decision was doubted and the house was divided. Then ensued a scramble the like of which was never before seen in Waterbury. Men heretofore believed to be sane pulled and tugged at each other, all the time yelling like demons. On the one side were the out and out dem ocrats, on the other a fusion of republi- cans and democrats and 1t was plain to be seen that the latter had accomplished their purpose. Chairman O'Neil de- clared the motion to adjourn carried and was leaving the stage when a loud protest came from the democratic side of the house, who called for an aye and nay vote. It was too late. however, and Mir O'Neil quietly left the hall
 The mover of the motion, Mir Perry then staggered to the front and was lifted upon the stage. He advanced to the front and was about to harangue the crowd when somebody from behind gave him a push and he landed on all fours on the heads of those occupying the front rows of seats. He received a bad fall, but succeeded in pulling him. self together and making his escape. Then the lights began to go out and in a few minutes the hall was cleared, no lives being lost.
 The republican scheme to create a dissensiOn among the demo- crats has succeeded and we are sorry for It. All through the case the DEMOCRAT has acted for it's party. We have had no personal interest in the matter, ither against Messrs Pinney and Sutton. or in favor of Messrs Brown, Carmody and Fruin. It will be some time before the breach which was widened Saturday night ill be closed.
 In day or two we propose to print n thing or two that will surprise some of the democrats who kicked over the traces Saturday night, under the Lelief that Messrs Brown and Carmody were wasting the peoples money.
