Democrats as against all Corners. The
kickers last evening have read themselves
out of the party. The gathering did not
represent the Liberal party, it did not
represent the Republican party. Outside of
few respectable gentlemen who seemed
sadly out of place, it was merely a mob,
and such one as gave every evidence of
having been herded into the hall to do as a
few of the leaders dictated. have it from
the best of authority that such was really
the case, and that may be one reason why
the meeting was postponed until Wednes-
day."
The committee appointed at the Republi-
can meeting held on Saturday night to
determine as 10 time and place for holding
a mass meeting of Republicans to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of organizing, decided yes
terday that it should be held at the theatre
on Wednesday night. Hence the proposed
meeting at the Federal courtroom last
evening was abandoned. Nearly all of
those who favored organizing knew this,
and supposing there would be no meeting,
were not present last night. On the other
hand, those who opposed the move were
out early and succeeded in gathering up
big crowd of those who sympathized with
them, while the other side was represented
only by Nick Treweek, John M. Zane and
one or two others. Soon after the doors of
the court room were opened, the crowd
commenced to flock in, and in very short
tine the room was filled, and the crowd was
composed almost entirely of those opposed
TO organizing the Republican party. At s
o'clock Mr.. Treweek arose and read the
following report:
an. Treweek, ESQ.,, Chairman of the Republi-
can club meeting;
"DEAR SIR-On Saturday evenin G last, a
committee was appointed, consisting of
three Republicans, to select time and
place to hold mass meeting of Republi-
cans. The committee have determined up
on Wednesday evening, May 20, at p. M,
as the time, and the Salt Lake theatre as
the place. We, the committee so appointed,
request that the formation of the Republi-
can club be adjourned until after the mass
meeting"
DIDN'T SUIT THE MOB.
Mr.. Treweek then declared the meeting
adjourned, but this did not suit the mob,
and they fingered. Jake Greenwald (who
il will be remembered was defeated in his
race for the postmsstershi arose and
said that before the meeting adjourned
he wished to say few words. He was
Just commencing his little speech, when
Janitor Walton commenced turning out the
gas, but Jake kept right on and said: ''On
Saturday night few men met in a cellar
under the opera house, and it was proposed
to divide on party lines. L opposed it, and
few good Liberals there supported me.
did so because l say the time is not ripe for
such move"
At this the unwashed mob made noise
But the janitor was getting in his work,
and the hall was getting darker
Continuing, Jakey said: 81 told them
that when majority of the Republicans
were in favor of dividing, l am with them.
We have have had Republican organiza-
ton in this territory since 1876,
and that organization has acted in
selecting delegations TO the ma
tional conventions. If meeting
of Republicans is desired, let that COM
nittee call it. / am glad this movement
started on Saturday night, because it has
solidified the Democrats opposed to divi-
sion and the Republicans to man within
the Liberal party. Now meeting is to be
held this week -"
Cries-Let's hold it now.
Mr. Greenwald-Then | nominate Jake
Moritz for chairman.
THE LIGHT THAT FAILED.
Mr. Morris came forward, but the lights
were still going out, and he could hardly
be seen. Cries of Light the gas" re
sounded. and some one asked who ordered
the janitor to turn it out. Mr.. Walton re-
piled that he was acting on the marshal's
orders.
c. H. Parsons-I don't believe he gave
such an order.
Cries of ''Bring him in" 'sBring him

MIR. Greenwald-I move thata committee
be appointed to wait on the marshal.
Cries of That's the stuff
The motion was carried, and Messrs Var
Horne, Greenwald and DR.. Whitney were
appointed. The committee retired, and on
motion of Charlie Stanton, w. T. Cotton
was elected secretary.
THEY RAISED THE AMOUNT.
Then the committee returned and stated
that the marshal had given them the hall
but they must pay s. for lights. Their,
were indications of a rout when Jake anC
his friends at once started on a toul
through the audience for funds, but they
raised the amount and MIR. Moritz pro
ceeded to make q speech. He said
