PREPARING FOR A PARADE.

& chairman who lacked the mental
agility and knowledge of parliamentary
procedure and a meeting the members of
which were at cross purposes and exceed
ingly verbose, were the causes of a stormy
session of the National League of Repub-
lican Clubs last night.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose of making arrangements for
grand torchlight parade, and the rock
upon which it grounded was the election
of grand marshal. 1t was alleged on the
side that the guileful Colonel Kowalsky
had packed the meeting IN the interest of
G. e. Morse, the husband of a niece of
Major Mckinley, and that the job was to
elect him grand marshal at once. The
other side said that General Sheehan him.
self wanted to be grand marshal.
General John. f. Sheehan headed the
opposition and insisted that the election
should be postponed until the next regu-
lar meeting for the reason that not one-
third of all the clubs in the City were
represented by delegates present.
The proceedings were enl1vened with
several ornate speeches by Senator r. G.
Maher who smoothed the rutfied feathers
of the meeting while he was on his feet,
but as soon as he ceased the air was hazy
with motions to adjourn, calls for the pre-
vious question and points of order. Most
of the discussion was carried on by four or
five delegates on their feet at the same
time yelling at the chair.
Finally, after considerable storm, a
motion to refer the matter to the execu-
tive committee with instructions to report
at the next meeting was put and decided
by standing vote of AZ for ana % against
but Chairman Morse refused to announce
the result. General Sheehan thereupon
left the hall and was followed by cries of
"Bolter." This made him red In the neck
and he hurled back defiance.
Vice-Chairman Thomas w. Collins cut
the Gordian knot by putting the question
to ad journ and declaring it carried.
