COMPLAINTS. AGAINST FISHER: >
The committee held a long consultation
over a report made by party workers
that John Fisher, the Republican candl-
date for County Clerk, now Deputy
County Clerk, was refusing TO give men
their naturalization papers When recon,
mended by Democrats. 1t is aleSed
that Fisher has been the means OF pre-
venting at least fifty Democrats from be-
coming naturalized.
For the past month members OF the
opposing County Committees have been
presenting big patches of new citlzens
for naturalization. Men recommended by
Republicans, they say, have been at
tended to promptly. while Democrats
have been compelled to wait. Seyerai
instances have been reported where
workingmen have taken a half day off
for the purpose of procuring their
papers Fisher has not attended to them
as promptly as he should, and as re-
suit many of them have refused to lose
any more time over the matter.
It was decided to call County Clerk
McLaughlin's attention to Mr. Fishers
actions, so that he might be compelled
to stop using his office in the interests
of his party.
If Fisher continues abusing his power
It is probable that complaint will be
made against him in the courts.
1t was decided to permit the FINANCE
Committee to issue a circular, calling
upon Democrats to subscribe to fund
with which to meet the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign.

Sugar I'm 1t.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. S94-That the
purpose of Germany in prohibiting fur
ther imports of American cattle is a
retaliation against the United States for
the discriminating duty placed on the
beet sugar productions of the Empire, is
a fact generally accepted in diplomatic
circles. The greatest reticence is mani
tested at the German Embassy in dis
cussing the order of the imperial gov
ernment. The officials of the embassy
do not know whether their government
has any purpose, Interior or otherwise.
The embassy has merely acted as a
medium of communication between the
Berlin Foreign Office and the American
Department of State. Beyond this the
officials profess ignorance.

Speakers at a Republican Meeting
Score the G.. d. P.

There was a Republican ratification
meeting last night at Woods Hall over
which Flavel MCGEE presided. Mr.. Nc
Gee declared that when Democrats were
in power the country always had hard
times,. statement which was accepted
with a grain of salt Henry " Condict
made the hit of the evening by stating
that George B. Fielder was man who
never kept his promises.
Thomas McEwan asserted that he had
visited the Clark Thread Mills at Kearny
and found that the 5000 employees there
were out for protection. John G. Fisher
Frederick Frambach, James Blackshaw,
Colonel Fuller, Robert McAndrew and
William E. Drake also addressed the
meeting.
Henry Gruber, the Assembly candidate
created sensation by declaring that
both parties before election uromised
workingmen great things and afterward
forgot them. Chairman MCGEE knew
this to be fact so far as the Republi-
can party is concerned, but he took oc-
casion to call Gruber down peg by
trying to assure the handful of work
ingnen present that the Republican
party was their friends.

DEBS EXPLAINS TIE A. B. U.
Organizing a Branch Society in Jer-
Ney City.

About two score employees of the rail-
road companies of this city met in Orient
Hall last night to organize a branch OF
the American Railway Union, and to
hear speech from Eugene V. Debs, the
leader of the strikers at Chicago.
Debs, a tall. slim young man with
smooth face and smooth manners. came
to the hall about nine O'Clock and was
received with cheers.
Sorry" said a watchful doorkeeper to
1.-THE News reporter about to enter,
but this is a private meeting to hear
a quiet talk from the great Mr. Debs."
He had just shaken hands with the
great man, and his soul was filled with
admiration for the president of the A.
r. u.
When a boyish-looking man, whom the
entrance of Mr.. Debs had interrupted,
finished denouncing corporations, dlrec-
tors and monopolists and lauding the
urge every railroad employe to organize
into branch of the A. R. U.
The order, he ssaid, imposes no obli-
tion. He win tell the truth and be loyal
to the union without oath or obligation,
while all the obligations ever imposed
a liar from lying or a scoundrel from
following the bent of his vicious nature.
In the union, he said, there is no Sc
cret initdatory ceremony, no hoodwinks,
ropes, halters, red fire or other parapher-
MALTA. Union men have no time, to ride
the goat" or to introduce kindergarten
toys or tricks to amuse their members.
They are not competing with variety
shows. A thousand years of indulgence
in such foolishness would not lift a
single workingman a shade above the
dead line of ignorance and degradation.
The union, he said was organized for
business, and so serious was it that it
challenged their highest faculties and
their profoundest consideration.
The objects of the union, he pointed out,
are to resist encroachments of grind
dng and oppressive corporatioms,' to
battle against wrong, to enthrone the
right, to protect Its members in their
wages and their rights as employees and
men.
A good many of those present signed a
roll of membership and another meet
ing will be held to complete the organiza-
tion, receive a charter frame a constf
tuition, collect dues-that must not be
omitted-and burst forth a full fedged
