The Junta met last night in the new
quarters in the Flood building. and when
il adjourned half of the members We're de-
signing headstones for the Buckleyites.
Temporary Chairman w. P. Sullivan
called the committee to order and Secre-
tary J. F. MCGOWAN called the roll. A
quorum being present, the chairman an
nounced that the report of Chairman Wat
kins of the general committee, who had
been instructed to appoint twenty-five
members from the general committee to
act in conjunction with the Deuprey COM
mittee, would be in order.
The committee selected by Mr.. Watkins
was accepted, there being one from each
Assembly district and seven at large.
On motion of Major P. j. Harvey, the
temporary officers, consisting of presid
ing officer and a secretary, were elected as
the permanent officers OF the committee.
Chairman Sullivan then announced that
the rooms secured by the committee of
three, appointed for that purpose, would
be opened every night at O'Clock, SO that
the good and respectable Democrats could
congregate and plot 10 raise the standard
of Immaculate records whenever they felt
that way. He announced that the rental
was to be $50 month, and committee
consisting of Armes, Branuhart, Rosen-
thall, Mattingley and Denman was after
ward appointed to keep their eyes peeled
on the finances.
There was temporary lull for a moment
or two, after which Alexander Vogiesang,
who has a key TO the paddock, offered the
following resolution:
ResoIved, That it is the sense of this commit
tee that general committee of the Demo-
cratic party or the City and County of San
Francisco be organized, consisting of twenty
five members from every Assembly District
and that in the selection of said committee
250 members be chosen from the last general
committee.
George I. Shadbourne at once offered an
objection on the ground that the work u.s.
ually accomplished by small body acting
in concert was more effective particularly
where purity was the watchword) than
could be effected by large body.
James Denman said he was willing to
amend by having the resolution read $50
more or less" whereupon Shadbourne
bounced up again and reuttered his first
objection. 1t was evident that Mr.. Shad-
bourne was unable to see the monkey in
the fence and that he could not for some
reason or other get beyond the mere ANAL
gamation of the Deuprey committee and
the committee of twenty-five appointed
by Chairman Watkins of the general com
mittee.
Major Harvey recovered the floor, and
with due amount OF stage presence spoke
in the following vein:
Gentlemen, we are now on the verge of
a Democratic revolution, and l trust that
you will all see that Mr.. Vogelsang's reso-
luton is offered in the interests of har-
mony. | think ii we can offer a report TO
the general committee showing that $50 of
the $50 appointed are from the general
committee, that the report will be
adopted"
Major Harney seemed to be reasonably
conscious that by conciliating $50 mem
bers of the general committee, old guard,
that they would have no objection to
adopting the report of the general COM
mittee, new guard, particularly when
250. being a ma jority of the old guard
were in on the new deal. Sbadhourne was
about to precipitate himself into the fight
again, but the major hauled forth the fol-
lowing resolution, and while the Secretary
was reading it Shadbourne pulled at his
beard nervously:
WHEREAS, Since the election of the general
committee many OF the members of the said
body have removed their residence from the
Assembly districts they were chosen to repre-
sent therefore be it
ResoIued, That it is the sense of this commit
tee or organization of the body that such mem
bers of the present general committee as may
be deemed eligible and who have removed
from the limits of the Assembly districts they
now represent may be named as members of
the new general committee, to represent the
respective Assembly districts in which they
now reside.
E. P. E. Troy, also the possessor of key
to the purity paddock objected to the Har-
ney resolution, stating as a reason that the
joint committee should not be encum bered
with too many weights. LET US be free
and easy, so that we can act without being
tied down on every point" he exclaimed.
1t was evident that the purity element
objected to the ''free and easv" method
haf Mr. TrnU 6c ciraH ba
olution was adopted by a large round
AYE
Mr.. Shadbourne moved round in his
chair very nervously and MANAGED to
break out once or twice again. He was
finally quashed by a motion from c. S.
Armes, who moved that the consideration
of the method by which the committee of
450 was to be selected be postponed until a
later meeting. Marcus Rosenthall offered
a substitute in the words "next or later
meeting" which was accepted by Armes
and the motion was carried.
Somebody then suggested that it would
be good idea to adI Iourn and think the
whole matter all over with plenty of sober
thought and little calculation on how
distressed Chris would feel when he knew
that the paddock was impervious to pass
keys and that it was surrounded by the
most perfected burglar alarms to keep out
the impure and stained.
Clitus Barbour suddenly appeared from
behind Chairman Watkins and burst forth
In volley of denunciations against the
Blind Boss.
1--WE should now fortify ourselves. I" said
he, land see that we stand in no danger of
being brought back to the politics of the
dark ages We want no more tampering
with the courts. no more pillaging of can
didates in broad daylight, no more jobbery
that will injure the reputation of the CITY
abroad, and less swindling of the people
through political connivery. We should
stand back to back, and as long as we con-
troll the works we can risk a primary cleo
tion."
There was loud burst of laughter after
Mr.. Barbour's reference to the works. )"
He couldn't help getting back to the old
familiar terms, ror could he forget the past.
Buckley" he continued amid deep
bushes, "shall not establish his hog
wallow with Democratic mud, and we must
get hold OF and control the machine"
After this assault upon Chris the meet
ing adjourned to meet at the call of the
hair
