The morning call., 1894-10-10
AGAINST BURNS.
Strong Protests made to BoSsism at
Republican Club.

There was lively set-to among the Re-
publcans in the Thirty-eighth District last
evening. Harmony was an unknown
quantity. The trouble, as usual, was all
caused by the boss. he has been trying
through his faithful ones 10 get the in
dorsement of the entire ticket from top TO
bottom. but the dose was too strong and
they refused to obey.
The little spat occurred in the "The Re
publican Club for Social and Polit-
zeal Purposes of '94." The club has an
enrolled membership of over 800 voters.
and they we're all out in force TO see the
fun.
1t appears that the boss had heard of the
fact that his chosen candidates were not
and he refused to send over any lucre un-
less this apathy disappeared.
The committee which had charge of the
selecting of funds was Burns committee
and they have practically done nothing to
advance the interests of the club. During
the recent meetings they failed to hand in
any report at all.
Last night the climax was reached. The
old-tiDIe Republicans could lot stand being
imposed upon any longer. So they arose
up in body and bounced the committee
to the man.
Long before it was time to call the meet

delegation TO showup, but they had caught
a Whit CT the bree2es during the day and
thought IL wise TO stay away. There
were few followers, however, who had
nerve enough 10 creep in, but they were
very scattering.
Frederick Berna, president Of the club,
called the meeting to order. The regular
| routine business was carried out without
any disturbance until the chairman
called for the report of the finance COM
mlttee. Then the fury began. AS usual
the committee had no report.
J. q. Feely was at once upon his feet.

| longer. 1.-The grOssest insults have been
offered to this club" said he, "by this
committee, which has done literally moth

port, and this week it is the same old
story. | therefore move that we take no
further cogniZance of the committee, and
that we declare its Office vacant"
The motion was received with Storm
of applause aud adopted with a hurrah.
Mr.. Jacobs, one OF the members of the
deposed body, attempted TO get the floor
and smooth over matters, but the patience
| of the club was exhausted and 1t would
listen to no explanation.
Chairman Berna then appointed the
folio wing finance committee which he
said be hoped would do better work than
