A-MestinR Last Night Opposes the Further
Imposition OF the License.


a Meeting Last Night Opposes the Further
- Imposition Of tho License.
The produce dealers held another meeting at
the Nationalist Hall. on r street. last night
for the purpose Of further discussing the ques-
ton Of license tax upon their business and to
urge the passage OF. the bills pending before
Congress to annul the tax. Mr.. John H. Crane
addressed the meeting and was severe in his
denunciation Of Assessor Trimble. Mr.. Crane
inquired by what right the assessor
taxed one class Of dealers and
exempted another He read the second Sec
ton of the act of August %. 1873, which pro-
vides that every person whose business it Is to
buy and sell produce, fish. meats or rats
from wagons. carts. stalls or stands shall be re-
garded as produce dealer, and shall pay an
annual license tax Of $25. Yet" said he,
''the assessor assumes the authority to repeal a
part Of the ordinance by e1omptlng from Ii
cense tax dealers in fish and meats that are
named in the act and adding thereto butter.
cheese and eggs that are not named in the act. "
Mr. r. b. Youngs in addressing the meeting,
advised the dealers not to pay the license. but
to make a fight upon the question. He then
offered a series OF resolutions arraigning As
SCISSOR Trimble, denouncing the license tax as
unjust. and stating that as lit is reported that
there is a surplus of over half million dollars
to the credit of the District of Columbia
in the United States Treasury, which it
is proposed to use in part payment OF
the bonded debt caused by the construction
of worthless and abandoned army officer tun-
mel, "a part of which surplus. under the present
license tax. was wrung from our hard earnings

A DISruRBER SAT rpOy.


When nominations for temporary chairman
we're called for the names of Mr.. Joseph Shil-
lington and Mr. John Boyle were put in nomi-
nation. Mr.. Charles Thompson attempted to
make speech, but objection was made and
Mr.. Thompson contented himself with an
earnest nomination of Mr.. Boyle.
The roll was then called and each delegate
responded to his name. voting for either Mr..
Boyle or Mr.. Shillington. While the roll call
was in progress Mr.. killeen who belonged to
the contestlng delegation from the nineteenth
district and who occupied y seat on the plat
form, attempted to make speech, evidently a
protest against recording the vote of the dele
gates from his district whose names were on
the roll. His attempt, however, aroused q
storm of protests and W. A. Hutchins gave
notice that if any interruption to the proceed
ings of the convention came from any one on
the platform he would request the sergeant-at-
arms to remove the offender.
The convention applauded this declaration
of the right of the convention to transact their
business without interference from those not
delegates, and then the roll call proceeded.
MR.. sHILLINGroN MADE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
The result of the vote was announced as fol-
lows: Thirty-three for Shillington and twenty
six for Boyle. and for a few moments the con-
vention or rather those who voted on the win
ming side showed their satisfaction by shouting
and capping their hands. The result of this
vote was regarded as significant and was taken
as IN indication Of the strength OF Norris.

THE CALL To ORDER.
The delegates we're rather slow In taking
their seats as they evidently found it more in
| tercsting to stand on the outside and discuss
the situation. Owing to the uncertainty that
existed as TO the strength of the two leading
candidates there was a good deal more interest
displayed in the proceedings than has been
usually the case , with the democratic
conventions of the District shortly
| before IL O'Clock Mr.. John Boyle.
the chairman of the Distr ct central committee
requested the delegates to be seated. This WAS
an operation that required some time. The
chairs on the platform were occupied by men,
bers Of the central committee and prominent
democrats. Among those seated on the stage
| were A. A. Wilson, James l.. Norris, Dorsey
Clagett, Frank Hume. Commissioner Ross, Mr..

CALLING THE ROLL.
In calling the convention to order Mr.. Boyle
spoke a word in behalf of order and harmonic
GUS action, and said that if the convention pro-
ceeded in such a spirit the business before ii
could be done expeditiously. The roll as pre-
pared by the central committee was read by
| the secretary. Mr.. James F. Brown. The only
vacancy was in the twelfth district, where there
is contest. and the committee was unable to de-
