last farewell was said by the delegates
from all over the State at the Tabernacle
last night. Some left the city Immediate
~ after that meeting. but the majority re-
NAMED until this morning. BY noon,
however. the last of the 2S5 delegates had
shaken the dust of Jersey City from their
feet.
The farewell meeting was began just
after the services conducted by Mr.. H. A.
Cozzens and Clinton T. Wood in the
Tabernacle. State Treasurer Arthur
Lucas presided. He began by assuring
those present tina everything would be
made as brief as possible. II Will call
first he said. ION one who has worked
in-defatigueabIy for the success of this
convention. but mas labored in the back
ground, and you nave not yet had a
chance to hear him. l want Secretary
Pauley, of the Jersey City Association
to stey upon the platform and say some
thing to US before we leave him"
Mr.. Pawley then came forward and said,
There are a few odd things about this
convention for me. In the first place the
Association is Just as old as | am. The
other is that the Association and myself
have the honor of celebrating our birth
days in the same month in which Abraham
Lincoln and George Washington first saw
the light. This is the third time the con-
vention has been held in this city, and
there have been three associations in the
city. Each time a convention has been
held here the association failed to sur
vive it more than a few months. I hope
this will not be the case this time and
that instead of dying our Association will
become greater and better in every way"
Mr.. George A. Warburton. Secretary of
the New York Railroad YIN. c. A, spoke
for the railroad men. He said. young
men. whatever the line of work you are
concerned in, don't be too stuck up about
it. Welcome the hard-working mechanic
and artisan and let him have a part IN
ton of dudes. Remember. too. to throw
q little enthusiasm into your work. Steam
and fire are necessary to run the en-
CINE. Steam is the power which operates
the whole machine. How quietly it does
its work. True, we hear it sizzling and
rushing out Of the smoke-stack, but that
is only after it has done its work. When
we have accomplished our purpose, we,
too, will be entitled to do a little blowing.
There is some steam that ESCAPES from the
that it is surpluss energy. and that if there
was anything for it to do there would
be no escape. Once again, say to 0
weights upon it, and let it out in such
