RESOLUTIONS PASSED
Buffalo. Oct. &c (SpeciaD-The Home Rule
Democrats of Buffalo held big meeting tonight
at Music Hall and denounced the nomination Of
| Isaac II. Maynard for Judge Of the Court OF
| Appeals. and also called upon the Democrats Of
| Erie County to vote against the Sheehan Demo-
| Gratis who have been nominated for Senators
and Assembymen. One OF the occupants Of a
| box at Music Hall was Mrs. Henry r. Perrine,
| the mother Of the wife of President Cleve-
land. accompanied by her husband. Mr. and
Mrs Perrine heartily applauded the>condemna-
ton Of Judge Maynard expressed by the chief
speakers.
In the resolutions also the statement was made
that the defeat Of Judge MAYNARD would not
embarrass in any way President Cleveland's
National Administration. Added to this. the
secretary of the meeting Edwin F.. Bishop. was
recently appointed Consul at Chatham. Canada
| Lastly. strong letter in denunciation Of May
nard and William +. Sheehan written by Her.
bert T. Bisse the law partner Of Postmaster
General Bisse read. The leading Demo-
Gratis Of Buffalo were present. among the num-
Der being Mayor Bishop County Treasurer
George Be!sten. the proprietor and Edwin
Fleming. the Editor Of THE Buffalo Courier"
the leading Democratic newspaper Of the city;
John G. Milburn. Judge Thomas +. King and
ex-Congressman Thomas X. Bunting
The meeting elected DR.. Edward Storck as
chairman. who in his speech Of thanks de-
nounced William r. Sheehan for robbing Buff
falo OF its home rule rights. He declared that
Mayor Bishop was elected by 5000 majority.
and yet Mr.. Sheehan had passed an act in the
last Democratic Legislature depriving the Mayor
ot ms authority to name the Police Commits
sioners If the Sheehan candidates for Sena-
tors and Assemblymen in Erie County were
not defeated Buffalo would lose all its rights
Of self-government
EX-Congressman Bunting in a carefully pre-
pared speech described in detail Mr. Sheehsn's
attempt to create little Tammany Hall in Buff
islo. The Democratic leaders in Albany" said
Mr. Bunting have taken the city Of Buffalo
by the throat and have picked its pockets"
The two next speakers John G. Milburn and
Frank ). Thorne, turned their attention chiefly
to Maynard's nomination. Mr.. Milburn is a
member of the welknown law firm Of Rogers
Locke g. Mburn. Mr.. Mburn said that he
had carefully examined the evidence against
Maynard in the hope that he would find him
guiitless. Instead, he found that he was a
criminal. that h. had stolen an election re-
turn. Il believe said Mr.. Miburn. earnestly.
that IL Is the duty of every Democrat to vote
against Maynard. The honor and integrity of
the bench il assailed in his nomination. When
the nomination for the high Office Of Judge of
the Court Of Appeals Is offered as a reward
for criminal action. then the judiciary sinks if
such a man is elected. To the level of Tweed
most grave crime was committed by
s s"&s b M'yn@ nn, and he gGries Tin in it,
moval Of a public record from a public Of
nee Is criminal offence under our penal code
That was what Maynard did. He took the
return 10 bring about the giving Of a certiii-
cate Of election To a Democrat who had not
been elected Gentlemen. | do not believe in
that sort Of politics. do not believe in a
great party like the Democratic party resort
ing TO crime 10 win a political victory. The
duty Of every honest man Is To strain every
nerve this year TO keep Maynard off the
criminal politics Democratic vote against
Maynard and tn" machine is an act of patriotic
duty and true party loyalty.
Frcnk :. Thorne in eloquent terms appealed
To his fellow-Democrats to vote against MAY
nard and the Sh"ehan candidates for members
OF the Legislature. he said it was quite nat
ural that when the leading Democrats al Al
bany were making money by passing buckle

Works and the school Department. He will
have his inspectors of election. 1t is a system

nomination. These present masters Of the
