Robert said that he felt delicate. So did
every body else. That was q delicate
meeting and there were some delicate
subjects touched upon. There were some
other delicate people in the audience be-
sides Robert, and when somebody touched
the delicate spots the correspondents at
once tore up the iptroductions they had
written at an early stage of the proceed
iDgs and decided that 1t wasn't exactly o
joint meeting of the prt achers and their
congregations TO talk about things that
nrs heard from the pulpit every Sunday.
The call for the citizens meeting said that
II was for the purpose of assisting to
"close the dens of vice from which
emAnate streams Of pollution that effect
the whole city and turn our youth TO
destruction" Nobody got very deep into
that stream and there wAsn't boiled
shirt or starched collar
that got beEmirch OF the
pollution. Frank McMurrsy made q
mistake. He had gone there with the in
tention OF plunRing into that stream and
just sho wing the assembled people where
they are at, but when he got started and
got down into that coal cellar through q
trap door and then came up again and
told how he had talked With the fallen
woman and how she wanted TO live re-
spectacle life, they didn't want to hear
about II. When he started to tell about
Jennie Hoyt, a young woman who was
later brought to repentance through the
agency of McMurray himself, that gen.
tleDnan was hooted down. He was on the
wrong tack To give the thing flavor II
had been given out thar IL was meeting
for the purpose OF discussing what was
best to be done, but McMurray kept too
close to the letter of the call and 60
called himself. McMurrAy had good
speech. He has written the balance of il
out and sent II to this Office and lack
of space alone prevents its publication.
The fact of the matter is that McMur-
ray didn't extoJ the virtues Of Cassidy.
II he had been telling what great and
L
been talking yet, so far as any interfer-
ence is concerned.
lhe meeting Was well attended. There
were about 800 persons present and there
were many Christian people who had
gone there for the purpose OF taking part
in the proceedings and using some means
to suppress the evils that the call for the
meeting confidently asserted were in ex-
istence. But they soon found that wasn't
what the meeting was for. 1t was called
to Jolly the mayor. There was another
purpose or two In 1t, but II didn't crop out
except at the close and then 1t wan poor
crop.
In the fret place the meeting had no
head. It had tail, but that occurred
later. Az 80 o'clock the audience had
assembled. At 1865 II was still assem-
bled. At 8 o'clock 1t had assembled but
Il AT Is all II had. At $40 o'clock il was
decided that something muBt be done SO
A. Kilt, prominent and worthy citizen,
ascended to- the Stage and called the
meeting to order. Rev. ]. N, Field waa
introduced as chairman of the even
ing. DR.. Field then called upon all of the
came. There was now nobody on the
stage but preachers. Everybody knew
what eide the preachers were on so their
presence had little or no weight. They are
rightly opposed to sin and Satan, and say
30 in their pulpits, hence wtat they said
last night was not particularly new mol
was Ii anything for the most part that
they would not say In their pulpits, so we
will save space In that direction.
Before Rev. Bauslin led in prayer the
chairman, having gotten about s,l the
preachers on the platform, said that he
wanted "all the leading reputable citi
zsns, men who have the moral courage tc
stand up for their convictions" to come
up to the platform. John Danner, Geo
Webb and Frank McMurray went up. L
is evident that there's only few Of III
"leading reputable" citizens In town. I'm
pertus Martin called out from the real
and wanted TO know II there was plent!
OF room on the stage for the citizens men
toned and the chairman allowed ther,
. was. There were seventeen chairs on tn,
, platform.
After DR.. Edmonds, Rev. Ferguson ant
/ rEnuh haCnAutTht uhu tulheusu oOuIultto
OF Ave was appointed to draft resolutions
The committee comprised A. Kilt, Her
man Blum. II. Il. Whiting. DR.. BraunfeI
ter and George Harvey.
Mrs. RebeccA johnson, OF East Eight
street, went to the platform and made tn
best speech OF the evening. 1t was full
OF tenderness, rathos and Christian char
ity. She wanted to stand right up ant
fight sin from the shoulder. "Of wha
use 10 the death of Christ" said she ''i
we stand by and see our husbands ant
sons led away"
DR.. Bauslin and Rev. Boyer talked an,
then J. j. Aahenhurst went forward b.
Invitation. John made a bully temper
! ance speech and wasn't in favor of sivin
an inch for fear somebody would take
mile.
Then the great man who was elected l.
do something and has to call a mas
meeting ofsome of the fellows that vote,
for him, to endorse him for making
staggsr at doing what they elected him +
do, was called upon. The ehairmal
iollied him up bit by way of introduction
, and then as that elc quential eulogy cleare
, away there stood revealed the chile
magistrate of all the breathing, pautin
people in the whole town. EncouIag
by the cheers of 100 men and 1872 women
who can't vote, the mayor took q shoE
draft of second term cut of the pitcher
and went to work. He said he felt
