1t is impossible to give any idea of that
slate when the crowded meeting of dis
gusted Democrats at Odd Fellows Hall last
night got through with it.
Z. j. Corbett presided, and among the
fifty vice. presidents ON the stage were
noticed: c. W. Pope. George Dibb, A. b.
Treadwell, j. FL. Long. Judge J. LAWYER.
Alexander Mclaughlin. Thomas c. Nealon,
Judge Craig, f. Regensburger, A. Baci-
gallup. John Winters. DR.. Cleveland, Cen
eral Bamberger. A Coleman, Ii. II. Lowen-
thai
There was a bonfire outside the hall.
The band within only voiced certain
amount Of the fierce enthusiasm which
CHARACTERIZED the meeting.
G. L. Fox made an eloquent address, IN
which he reviewed the honorable part
played by Democrats In the past and COM
pared il with the Gishonorable part the So
called Democ were now playing.
He adyerled specially to the recent con-
yention by the 'Reorganizing Democrats"
at Metropolitan Temple as being "a conyen-
tion of dummies"
They had all, or the most of them, been
elected by the Sutter-street gang by Sulll-
van and Dwyer. Misses and groansI.
The delegates to that convention had, by
a trick which reserved 125 for selection by
the county committee, been controlled by
these Selt-c0nStltuted posses.
The true Democrat wanted no boss OF
that kind, whether named Mike, Jerry or
jim, to override the individual.
All the nominations had been made by
five, six or eight men, and such a thing was
undemocratic, disloyal aud tratorous, and
the people would show it at the polls.
The speaker was Interrupted by the en-
trance OF the jefferson Club and the Ger
man-American Democratic Club, which
marched in amid general CHI eering.
j. III. Long, whose experience for eleven
years as secretary OF the Democratic County
Committee gave him warrant to speak Of
practical politics." next denounced in
scathing terms the way in which tue Demo-
cratic slate had been prepared over the His
hernia Bank and in the Nevada block.
He also explained from the standpoint Of
one " no knew how the primaries had been
manipulated by means OF ''Oiled paper,
and touched on Chairman Ponds guileleSs
selection of the conventions committees as
all prearraUged.
ii said every one was coming over TO the
now movement-even Sammy Braunhart
had had enough Of Sullivan.
This-the Democratic party-would hold
its primaries next week, its convention next
week and elect nominees next week.
His party was the Democratic party, as
Sullivan, Dwyer IL CO. would find when
they came 10 apply for heading on the
ballot, which they would not get, except by
| petition.
Judge Lawlor followed with denuncia-
ton of sullivan, his convention. icy,
snake-blo0ded Ponh," their high-handed and
| brazen-faced political tTeachery. and con-
cluded with a stirring exh0rtaton TO Demo
| cratic voters to drive these sef-constituted
bosses from power forever.
AS Judge Gray. WHO came next, was speak
ing, an immense slate, six feet high, was
| brought on the stage.
| II bore the significant legend given above,
| describing it as representing Sullivan S
| slate"
| Upon passing allusion by Judge Gray to
! the hated slate fixed by Sullivan, two stall
wart Democrats smote the mbem of serf-
| dom with great hammers, SCATTERING ii into
| thousand pieces.
Enthusiasts crowded Up to secure precious
! fragments of the slate. which was found TO
| have been backed by pieces Of the Chron-
| icle pasted on, although this had net saved
| 1t from complete demolition.
the incident caught the fancy OF the
meeting, which cheered itself hoarse over
| the success thus dramatically forecast.
Mr. Gray made short address on the
same lines as his predecessors. and was fol-
! lowed by Tom Mailer in a song against
Chinese labor, and an eloquent speech fol-
the right of an American TO free vote.
The meeting then adjourned.
