THE 0S AND MACS.
Politics Now Interesting These Big
Clubs.


The standard bearer is on hand
almost every evening. His mere
presence arouses club enthusiasm.
Fire Superintendent Brown is also
a frequent visitor of the rooms. and
the august countenance of Finance
Commissioners Kenny occasionally
looms up in the midst of those of men
who are connected with city official
life. ExMayor Grassman of Hoboken
was a visitor on Friday evening.
The portrait of Governor Albeit
has been removed from the dull but
costly frame in which it has hung all
the winter and set in massive gold
mounted frame to match those which
surround the portraits of Mr. Me-
Laughlin, Allan McDermott, Prosecu-
tor Winfield aud President Feeney, of
the Police Board.
Unfinished pictures of the associa-
ton on their outing have made their
appearance, and there has been more
or less of scramble BY all to see If
they were in it. They're all there,
and the flushed pictures will be
credit to the photographers.
Over one thousand dollars have thus
far been reported as cleared on the re-
cent outing.
The bulletin board is already begin
ming to be filed up with names of
candidates for admission.
Terry Mcdonald declares he is sim
cere in attempting to organize o COM
pany of recruits to join one OF the
local regiments. His efforts are being
heartily seconded by the young MEM
bers OF the association None but
members will be admitted.
1t is fun TO see Terry and Fire Su-
perintendent Brown arguing a ques-
ton. They quarrel and snap at each
other in manner that would lead the
uninitiated to think they were not the
best of friends. But they are; and
when joyiaI Billy Quinn acts as peace
maker the fun begins.
Billy is proud of the fact that the
Macs baseball team closed the season
with victory. Il recently defeated
the Jersey Blues of Hoboken, and the
Blues refuse now to play for interest
ing stakes.
Terrence j. Carroll has almost every
member of the Mclaughlin Associa-
ton heart and soul and pocket with
him in his aspirations to go to the As
sembly from the new Sixth district.
An enthusiastic admirer exclaimed on
Friday Enthusiastically Carroll is the
whitest little man on the face of the
earth.D
Mr.. John Heany, who expects to
get the nomination for Assembly from
the Fifth district is one of the pop
ular young members of the associa-
ton, and often graees the rooms with
his presence.
The next regular meeting will be
held on October 10. The Excursion
Committee has prepared it's report
and viii present it at the coming
regular me citing.
The o'NeiiIs.
The O'NeiII Association rooms have
been more or less crowded every even
ing during the week Over one hun
bred and fifty members attended the
regular meeting Friday night.
The members are enthusiastic
just at present over Mr.. O'NeiIl's
aspirations to represent the new
Fourth district in the Assembly. AT
Friday nights meeting the rooms
were rendered Mr.. O'Neill as head
quarters during his canvass, if he Sc
cures the nomination, about which
there is little or no doubt The con-
vention to nominate a candidate will
be held in the rooms on October 10.
Next to Mr.. O'Neill's legislative
aspirations the formal opening of the
new rooms is agitating the members.
That it will be q gilt-edged affair there
can be no doubt. The fact that the
association has waited six months for
cool weather SO as to insure the sue
cess of the event is a guarantee of
this. No political club in the State
can boast of handsomer headquarters.
The opening will take place on De-
tober 16.
Secretary Billy" Heller has be-
come tired of furnishing lead pencils
to the members. He has hit upon a
great scheme in connection with the
collection of automatic or nie1le-in-
the-slot machines in his cafe below.
His monk" simply "chucksn dice for
you, and another machine tells your
fortune; but Billy's latest acquisition
is a highly ornanented machine that,
in addition to performing other feats,
s'chucksp out to every niclxle dropper
lead pencil with rubber.
Those members who imagine a
mild roast in the Macs and Os column
damages their character beyond rep
aration should see letter Deputy
Sheriff Joe Whelan received from a
feminine friend as a result of the an
nouncement that he had cut off his
moustache. That letter would make
Nat Fowler turn green with envy if
he saw it. And it's literary gem, too.
