ANTl-HI-L MEETING AT BUFFALO,.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild Speaks to a Large
Audience.


Audience.
BUFFALO, April GA large and enthusi-
astic meeting of anti-Hill Democrats was
held In Music hall last night The great
hall was packed
1t had been announced that there would be
no procession or fire works, but nearly 900
men from hastily organized clubs and headed
by the Cleveland Democracy, escorted the
speakers, eX-Secretary Fairchild and ex- Mayor
William r. Grace, of New York, from their
hotels TO the new hall Among the notices
on the transparenCies were: Hills Not In It,
mo 60 Cent Dollars For Us" Cleveland's
name was on most of the transparencies.
The Resolution on Hill.
Resolutions were adopted disclaiming and
repudiating desire or intention to disrupt the
Democracy and declaring that whatever may
have been the estimation in which Sena or
Hill has been held in the past by the Democrats
of this state, it is now evident that the course
that he has pursued with reference to the vital
issues of tariff reform and honest money: his
unscrupulous polIt cal methods in this state
since last November; his unseemly and dis
graceful efforts to obtain the presidential
nomination and his continued and contemptu-
Gus neglect of senatorial duties have estranged
from his support nine-tenths of the Demo-
cratic voters in the state and his nomination.,
or the nomination OF any man supposed to be
subject to his influence or control, would re
suit in the overwhelming defeat of the ma
tional ticket in the state.
Extract from Fairchild's Remarks.
The principal speaker was ex-Secretary Fair
child, but speeches were made by ex-Mayor
Craze, of New York, and Frank NJ. Thorne.
Fairchild said in the course of his speech:
"We are told that our contesting delegation
will render impossible the nomination OF fa-
vorite candidate because ii will show such
division in the party as viii make it dangerous
to nominate anybody from our state. Why
so? Who proposes to bolt the nomination.
Who proposes not to abide by the action Of
the national convention? Surely the great or.
ganizations of the party in our large cities do
not make any such threat. They declare that
they will support one candidate as Loyalty as
another"

CHICAGO, April 6.-The city election yes
terday passed off quietly and the new cleo
ton law worked smoothly and to the sat
istactlon of the politicians as well as to
the election commissioners For one thing
1t demonstrated that it affords ample ia
cllltles To the voters to retire to obscurity
Objectionable candidates, no matter how
numerously they might be nominated by

oil 1fteen straight Republicans to the coun-
eli; SIX straight Democrats; four Repub-
lican and Trade and Labor; five Demo-
cratic and Trade and Labor; two indie
pendents; one Independent Democrat and
one called Democratic-R
Ed CulIerton Beaten.
The feature of the day was the defeat of
Edward F. CullertOn, who had his name
printed Oh three places on the ticket and
and was the candidate of the Democrats
the Repub blicans and the Labor party. He
made desperate fight, but the voters
knocked him out. His opponent is an
obscure citizen, whose name was not very
prominently mentioned during the cam
paign. The contest was not really be-
N b,,t
the Cullerton and anti-Cullerton element
of the ward, and the latter triumphed.
Another Noted Alderman Left.
Edward p Burke, of the Sixth ward, is an
other of the well-known aldermen who came
TO grief. Like Cullerton, he made deter
mined fight for recollection. Alderman ID. r.
y O'Brien, of the Twenty-third ward, who last
week WAS indicted by the grand jury, also fell
victim to the ballots of the citizens. But
Roth, the alderman who Informed" on the
alleged boodlers, met exactly the same fate and
was retired by his constituents.
On the Township Tickets.
The Democratic tickst in the South Town,
headed by J. W. Richards, except the candi-
date for supervisor, was elected by a safe ma
jority. Sam Chase scored another victory in
the North Town, and all the offices in that cor
poration VIII be; occupied this year by Demo-
erats. In the West Town two Democrats the
candidate for supervisor and the candidate for
clerk, were elected. Dwyer and Wulh. two
Republicans, were elected assessor and collec-
tor respectively.
Other Places in the State.
The Republicans also carried the following
towns in the state Woodstock, Mansfield,
Kirkwood, Plano Clinton, Clay City, Auburn,
Warren, WRukegan, Geneva, Macon, Fairbury,
Pontiac, Springfield, Quincy, Kankakee, Mo
line, Paris and other towns. The Democrats

West virginia Women and the Fair.

WHEELING, April GA movement has
been started among the Woman's Worlds
Fair clubs of this state which may seri-
ously embarrass the effects Of the West
Virginia woman commissioners to secure
q creditable exhibit of woman's work from
this state. The club at Fairmount, one Of
the principal points in the state, has re-
solved: "In view of the likelihood that
the gates Of the Columbian exposition will
be kept open on Sunday and that beer will
be sold on the grounds" to supend indefin-
itely. 1t is said that the woman's clubs
in many other places in the state will take
similar action.
