Rousing Meeting of Disgruntled
Republicans at PiXIey
Hall.

Boss Burns was badly used at the hands
| OF the Republicans of the Forty-tirst
Assembly Distric. last evening. Figura-
lively speaking he was thrown out of Pix
ley Hall and kicked down one long flight
| of stairs. and when his Frustrated form
reached the pavements below, Captain
Daley sat upon the mutilated remains with
all the force that his 200 pounds of avoir
dupois could command.
1t was clearly case of knockd0wn and
drag out. 1t is doubtful whether Colonel
Burns ever experienced before such

Burns own district went back On him.
They could not stand the collar any longer,
and the way they kicked over the traces
was startling, to say the least. Bossism
was denounced on every side. and every
other Issue that savOred of Burns.
The trouble all started over the appoint
ment of the primary election officers.
There are three members on the C unity
committee from the FOlty-frst District.
Two are against Burns ana one for him.
When 1t came to selecting the primary
hoard yesterday, Leon Dennery, the Burns
committeeman. walked away with all the
prizes and practically left the Forty first

Firebaugh, ARE being used to defeat our
delegates from this district / see the
writing on the wall.
Il believe IN harmony wher il is possible
TO be harmonious. but when they try to force
you to turn the grindstone for them to
grind their axes, as they have done l-day,
l believe that il is time TO be inharmOnious
and sweep Burns and his whole coterie
from the face OF the earth"
Captain Daley was the next speaker, out
of about twenty who were irving 10 get
the floor. Captain Daley had on his fight
ing clothes. He wanted to march right
into the boss lair and fight him to the
finish.
He waxeG furious over the idea that one
man should rule the whole earth, espe-
claly that section which San Francisco
claims as a footstool. Captain Daley,
with all the dignity of his title. exclaimed {:
Let us give Burns BATH; show him
where we are al, and kill his whole ticket
from top to bottom. Why should we bend
our neckS to this Great Mogul?" These
warlike expressions brought down the
house. The applause was something
tumulluous.
Albert Hauser followed Captain Daley
with a thrilling anti-Burns speech. He
carcaly had words at his command to
scout the notion th at a boss should dicta to
to the Forty first District.
1--WE want 20 bosses" shouted Hauser.
ito tell us what we shall do and what
nominations we shall make. bosses are
right when they don't get too bossy, and
when they do, it is time to turn them
down. If we are not given fair show,
believe that we should bounce The whole
ticket"
w. Mccarthy was the next man on his
feet.
He yelled, 81 don't want any man of
Burns. I can't follow that kind of boss
ism. II you call that Republicanism l
don't want any more of it. / am through
hen ceforth now and forever with Burns
He has done us dirt, and it is due time
that we should throw off the collar"

L. Z. Graham next claimed the floor.
He opened fire at short range on the
colonel "Who is Burns. anyhow" ex-

leader. What right has Burns to say what

AT the close of Mr.. Graham's address
Mr.. Mccarthy announced that he had Just
received telephone message from the
fortleth District Club stating that they
were ready 10 coo Derats with the Forty
first in whatever action they might take.
| This is no. the only district that is ready
TO join u.s." said Mccarthy. 'There are
several who are ready to throw off the
yoke"
There was some talk of indorsing the
Democratic ticket from the State ticket
down. Everybody seemed to want to kill
any oil Burns candida ties, whether State
or municipal. Others expressed the OPT
MON that it might be policy to wait and
| see what action the NOn-Partsans were
going to take and perhaps indorse their
men.
but none OF these suggestions prevailed
IL was hnally voted to appoint a committee
to join similar one from the Forii tn
District. This committee was given the
power 10 nominate a candidate for Senator
