POKED FUN AT BUELL.,
BUT HE oBJEorED STRONGLY.
And on His Invitation the Audi
ence Moves out OF the Hall
With Entire Unanimity.

Last evening e. Buell. determined to
unloose tine flood.gates of his oratory on
the den:zens of the Ninth ward. Un-
mindful of the proximity of Oakland
cemetery, he chose the corner Of Syca-
more and Jackson streets for the dis
play. When first MIR. Buell. was discov-
cred on the premises he was seen sit
ting solitary and alone on the window
sill Of the hall, one eye sweeping the
yisias OF Sycamore street for the forth
coming audience. the other surveying
the hal. with reference to Its ac Oustic
properties.
Soon. 1t would seem. the entire local
ity turned out to greet Mr.. Buell.. There
were fully sevenly-five or hundred
who filed into the hall just as the
speaker had concluded that the afro
cious weather had deprived him of his
published opportunity to 'down Doran-
ism." and they were followed by others,
sufficient in all to comfortably fill the
hall. There WAS wo)d stove in the
middle of the room, and it shed its COM
forting warmth through the hall until
Its supply of wood had becoms ex.
hausted. Then the hail got cold. and.
as events proved, Mr.. B uell's eloquence
did not suffice to take the edge off the
temperature.
After some little consultation the pro-
ceedings opened by the nomination aud
unanimous election of James Z. White
as chairman of the mesting. When Mr..
had tal-
MIR. Buell. TO the platform the fun fairly
began; and never before was fun more
good-natured. There were two mem.
bers of the audience who divided the
time with Mr.. Buell.; one was Jack Hor-
ton, Republican; the other. MIR. o.
Neill. PopulisI. They had something
to say, and they said it with precision
aud emphasis. 1t didn't suit Mr.. Buell.,
and he forthwith kicked.
There seemed to be general determina-
ton not to say anything which might be
hurtful to the feelings, or to do any.
thing which would be hurtful to tine
physical well-being of Mr.. Buell.; and
hence the boys waited patiently for Mr.
Buell. to finish. They were determined
that MIR. DOran should be indorsed for
senator. but they were equally deter
mined that it should be done III order.
1t was at this stage that the trouble
arose. 1t WAS due in part 10 the un-
limited supply of MIR. Bueil's ora
Tory and to the decidedly limited supply
OF fuel. While yet MIR. Buell. was hold
ing forth on the atrocities of the cor
p0ratlunS the audience organized itself
into committee of the whole, the sub
ject under consideration being how the
al
for senator could be pat and carried
without interfering with the flow of
MIR. BuelPs eloquence. Some suggested
that recess Oi a half hour sHuuld ID.
taken; Others that il should be an adj
Journment 10 given time. Here Mr..
Buell. made his initial mistake. In
stead of proceeding with his speech
without reference to his audience, as
his audience mad proceeded about their
business without reference to him. he
made complaint. He warned Doran's
friends in the audience that
they were treading on danger
had better not interfere with him, or
their candidate would get the worst
of it.
The audience goOd-naturedly paid no
attention. They were still in committee
of the whole, and had not yet reached
a conclusion, and they might not have
done SO until the end OF Mir. Bueli's re-
marks. had that gentleman had iiltIr
sense. But he hadn't. He got verv
wratby. When threats availed not he
rasOrted to eXpoStulation. He told them
that lie was an Independent candidate
for senator and had right to control his
own meeting. and politely asked that
the friends of Mir. Doran should Witii-
draw. The friends of Mr.. Doran were
in all accommodating spirit. One ae,,-
tleman arose md said:
"Well, boys, | guess he's right. Let's
go"
Then something happened which had
stunning effect on Mr.. Buell..
The audience arose en- maSse, and,
headed by NJ. j. Costello. vino had sat
un0OSerVeu In corner. and followed
closely 10y the president. Mr.. White.
filed out of the hall. Mr.. Buell. was left
not wholly alone, for, like Dean Swift
of old. he had at least his sexton for
all audience. Buell's good friend Rog-
err was Mike O'Brlen, WHO had come to
grief with Sache aud Hiram chasing a
lager beer wagon over tue sand dunes
OF the Ninth ward one night last week
And 10 Mike Mir. Buell. addressed his
closing remarks. They were quite
enough. Both the speaker and the au-
dieuce thought they discernad the dark
mass of Doran's friends coming back,
and so they hastily put uut the lights,
&C GJourncd aud locked the doors.
They had just succeeded i'll doing so
when the audience returned, having
discharged their committee of tie whole.
Some one suggested that they wanted
to hear speech from Costello, and 10
give Doran a boom, and the man in
charge OF the hall showed his DISPOSE
ton to make serious conce ssipns in that
behalf If they were insisted on. Buell.
had fled, bat Jim White aud Costello
and some of Frank Battley's Immediate
friends and admirers were on hand.
The rain poured down. making things
decidedly uncomfortable. and. by way
of compromise, ii was determined that
the resolutions indorSing Doran should
be deferred until tomorrow night. when
MIR. Buell. is invited to be preSeut and
finish his address, with the absolute
assurance that he will have an audience
throughout the entire performance.
