and after the adoption OF Il method of cleo
ton he announced nominations to be in Or
der.
Ex-Mayor Pond placed in nomination for
permanent Chairman the name of j. j.
Dwyer, who was elected to the position by
acclamation.
Mr.. Dwyer. who is young man, in re-
spOnse to frequent calls came forward and
entertained his hearers with red-hou anti
boss speech. He said it had been resolved
that the club system must be abolished.
The movement had been started because
Democrats had lost faith in the so-caled
Democratic County Committee and the men
who compose it. In speaking of the reason
why the Democrats had lost the last elec-
ton he attributed the defeat to the presence
of large sack. The greater portion of
the SACK" said Mr.. Dwyer. event into the
pockets of the controlling spirit of the Dem
ocratic County Committee, man of infa-
nous notoriety, known throughout the State
as Boss Buckley, a political corruptiouist,
Drloer OF JurleS, the willing tool and slave OF
corporations, whose life was spent in put
ting I'D schemes and jobs to loot the public
treasury"
BUCKLEY TO BE KEPT OUT.
He said that the object of the movement
was to prevent Buckley from getting back
into the party. There was no room for
traitors. Buckley was out, and it was pro-
posed to keep him out.
On the conclusion Of the permanent Chair
mans remarks the meeting proceeded to
elect the remaining officers. Over two
hours were consumed in this work, large
portion Of the time being taken up by the
highly sugar-cn coated eDcomiums of those
making nominations.

Ex-Judge Bowers wanted to know what
would be the powers of this Executive COM
mittee. He desired TO have its duties de-
fined before it was organized.
NO TIME TO BE LOST.
The Chairman ruled that the speaker was
out of order. and that the next business to
be considered was the constitution of the
committee. The defining of its powers was
question to be considered subsequently.
j. L. Sullivan thought it best for the
meeting to adjourn for four weeks i'll order
to give the Chairman time to make his selec-
tions. The sentiment. however, was in
favor of proceeding eXpeditiously while the
interest lasted, and an adjournment was
taken till next Wednesday night.
