SCNACk 1<-a 4O anu kAC -Ao&OAe-
ton clubs at the Drill shed and
for the stated purpose of ratify-
ing the nomination of David
Bowers Smith as a proper and
acceptable person for position
among the wise-aeres OF the
nation who are now in the Advl-
sorry Council, there came together
last evening an incongruous as
semblage of people composed
mainly of Portuguese with
a sprinkliug of members OF the
Caucasian race, the total number
being withing three-hundred and
fifty souls.
The chairman of the meeting
was Mr.. T. NJ. Hatch, who Is
understood to have the nomina-
ton as minister of foreign
affairs in the Executive Council j,
aud who by virtue of his position
as vice-president of the Annex
alton club assumed control of the
proceedings. Mr.. Hatch stated
the purpose for which the meet
ing was called, He was followed
by a member of the Annexation
club who, placed the name OF +.
W. McChesney before the mixed
assemblage for nomination. The
nomination was seconded but
before vote was taken thereon the
following resolution was read;
Whereas,-The American League
has named Mr.. D. B. Smith for
this place, therefore be it
Resolved,-That this mass meet
ing hereby endorses Mr.. D. b
Smith for the Advisory Council,
and shall through its Secretary and
President 50 inform the Executive
and Advisory Councils.
The resolution was now voted
on and it was seen that the An
nexation club members had taken
a tumble and held their heads
and hands down. There was no
mercy shown by the victors for
after Smiths name being placed
in nomination Jos. b. Atherton
moved that there be no more and
it carried. Mr.. Smith being
called on jumped on the table,
took paper from his pocket and
read therefrom to the effect that,
in the words of some one or
another annexation was sure, and
he appreciated the honor of
about being a member of the
Council.
Mr.. James Mott, Jr., who was
formerly in the plumbing and
tinsmithing business but had met
with such business reverses that
he is now a gentleman of leisure,
assembled the table, and read:
Whereas, In making changes
the mass of the supporters of the
Provisional Government have had
no voice; therefore be it
Resolved, = That this mass
meeting of annexationists and
supporters of the Provisional
Government hereby petitions the
Councils to enact law increas-
ing the membership of the Advi-
sorry Council from fourteen tc
twenty-four.
The signal was given and hear
ty yells approved the document
The chair seemed non-plussed
good annexationists looked at on
another and the light seemed t
dawn upon them that they wer
very much immersed in the poll
teal eons0mme as far as an
attempt at nominations went
Vote was bad on Mr.. McChes
news nomination and fe'
staunch Annexation Club mem
bers held up their hands thu
misleading "A few Portuguese VIII
followed suit. The opposition
the nomination being called til
League members nearly all hel
| up both hands and another of til
Macs was doomed to politic'
death.
The chairman, NJ. F. NJ. Hate
with true sense of order rules
that t ne resolution uld not
cons,pered by this meeting as
had been called for special pa
pose only. There was where N
Hatch was thrown in with b
