in the Mellon buiIding. The place was
crowded to overfowing. A portrait OF
Jackson, draped in flags and bunting, hung
over the Presidents chair. Just opposite
it on another wall in heavy gilt frame was
hung photograph OF David B. Hill, who
is rapidly becoming the patron saint of the
organization. A small flag was fastened to
the picture and outside of that of jackson
it was the only likeness in hall that was
decorated. A large picture of Cleveland
was early in the evening turned toward the
wall, but it was faced to the front before the
meeting was called TO order.
President Bremen made the speech of the
evening. He talked eloquently of Jackson
and his many virtues. With jackson Mr..
Bremen believed that ''to the victor belongs
the spoils." His reference to David B.
Hill brought out vigorous and prolonged
applause as did also the name of Governor
Pattison.
During the evening refreshments were
served and the occasion was most eniov-
able one There was plenty OF vocal and
instrumental music and the crowd was

AFTER THE ALDERMEN.
Controller Grier Refuses 10 Pay Costs De-
Inanded by Three MaCistrates-A Claim
That They Are Bleeding the County
With DISCHARGED Cases

oohsTS.lsr OFief tSeluses 10 ray COSTS de-
1nanded by Three NIagistrates-A Claim
That They Are Bleeding the County
Win Discharged Cases.
Controller Grier is up in arms against
Aldesmeu who make living by stirring up
strife among their neighborS, getting suits
entered and then discharging them and
putting the costs on the county. The first
10 fall beneath his az are Alderman Foley,
OF Woods Run. Allegheny; Justice of the
Peace John GIunt. of Braddock township.
and Justice of the Peace G. H. Clementson,
of Braddock borough The Controller has
refused to pay the costs they have placed
on the county. and says if they insist he
viii contest the claim in court. In giving
q reason for this step, he said:
'These Aldermen, as well as some Others
have been doing nothing but soliciting and
hearing suits with no other intention than
10 discharge them and demand the costs
from the county They never find the de-
tcndant guilty, because then thev would
have to look 10 him for the costs, and would
probably never ge; them. If they sue me
Tor their costs will trvand have them re-
moved. Such officials are a menace to the
community in which they live"

Of course, discharged and the 'Squire's costs

Alderman Foley's term of office will ex-

diana will meet at Canton, O., on January
10, in its ninth annual convention. At the
meeting in ST. Louis. on December 8, of all
the associations in the United States for

decide whether its members want to form a
national body. 1t would bring about uni
formity in prices and grades of lumber all
over the United States. The convention

TO ASSIST THE BOYCOTT.

The Second Avenue Strikers Hold a Big
Meeting to Help Their Cause Along-A
Resolution Passed Asking Citizens to
Withhold Their Patronage.
Green's Hall, in Frankstown, was packed
last night with citizens of that vicinity to
listen to the discussion of the present trouble
on the Second avenue car line. The meet
ing was called to order by placing M. j.
Dougherty in the chair, and appointing a
long list of representative citizens as vice
presidents. Thomas Grundy was the first
speaker. He said:
"The companies and corporations are try
ing to establish the idea that working
man has not the right to organize. There
is no law on the statute books of Pennsyl-
vania which says they should not. 1t IS
illegal and purely un-American to deny
them the right" In conclusion he intro
duced a resolution asking the patrons of tine
road to refrain from travelling on it.
Jerry Dougherty spoke on the claim the
Second avenue company made of employ
ing and discharging whoever they wanted
to. ''They want to deny the men the right
to organize" said he. ''The present fight is
for that purpose and if it is lost it would be
blow to all organized labor" He spoke
of the many favors and privileges the cor
poration swere recipients OF from the
municipal government, and thought in re-
turn they might respect the rights of their
employees.
John Flanagan closed the speech-mak-
ing He related his 62 years experience as
a member of trades unions, and showed their
growth. 'All street railways" said he,
care backing the Second avenue company
in their strike, as they are all desirous of
knocking out organized labor. This strike
can be won if there is united effort. Let
the company know that if it wants to fight the
Knights of Labor it has to fight the patrons
of its own road. The boycott you have
placed upon them is beginning to show its
effect, but it needs watching The company
cannot make you ride on its picayune road,
so place your patronage on some other, line. "
1t was decided to hold several other meet
ings in the district in the near future.

4 POPULAR DEMOCRAT.
Chairman Neal, of Ohio, Congratulated for
the Vote He Received.

the Vote He Received.
telegram yesterday congratulating him on
the complimentary vote which the Buckeye
Democrats gave him for United States
Senator. Jim Neal as he is familiarly
known, is one of the most popular and able
Democrats in the State. If it had been the
lot OF the people to have a Democrat rep
resent them in the Senate instead of John
Sherman, Jim Meals selection would have
been very pleasing to the Republicans.
Mr.. Carlile thinks Hill won't have
much of a show for delegates in Ohio. He
may get one here and there. Out in McKin-
ley's old district the sentiment of the peo-
pie is for Cleveland, but Congressman
Warwick is irving to capture the delegates
for the New York Ex-Governor.
