THE OPPOSITION TO PLATT.
Taking Action TO Expose Frauds in the
Republican En- ollment.

Republican En- oiiment.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l-A meeting was
held at the Madison Square Music Hall
last night by the members of the 500 who
are opposed to Thomas G. Platt. The
meeting was called to order by Edward n
Mitchell, and Cornelius n. Bliss was made
permanent chairman.
MIR. Mitchell presented the report Of the
committee of twenty five, appointed to
Investigate the alleged frauds i'm the Re
publican enrolment in this city, and the
validity Of the present county organiza-
ton" 1Sse report reads in part as fol-
lows:
"Under the direction of members of the
bar, acting with the committee, number
of inspectors charged with fraudulent con-
duct at the recent primaries have been ar
rested and held for trial by city magis
tratcs and their cases are now pending
before the grand jury. Further work in
this direction is now under consideration. "
The committee gives list Of the assem-
bly, districts in which they allege the en-
rollment has been padded to the extent of
25,ODO names out of total of 1900.
Continuing the report says;
1.-THE general conclusion drawn from
the investigation, and from which the evil
dence leaves no possible avenue of escape,
is that the men in control of the county
organization have devised and carried
through deliberate scheme of wholesale
fraud, intended to secure for themselves,
without regard to the will of the majority
of the Republican voters, the absolute
control Of the organization and of the del
egations from this city to the national
and state conventions. The frauds were
so general throughout the city, the meth
DDS pursued in various parts of the city
were so similar and the work so slSillfully
concentrated at the points where it would
most surely accomplish its purpose that
the proof of a carefully prearranged de-
sign is irresistible"

near ShamOkin, with electricity When
this work is completed, which will be with

mine in this section of the state to discard
the old method of illumination in any por-
ton of its workings. The electrical locomo-
tive which was recently placed in the mine
and which was reported as being unable to
perform the work expected of it, answers
the purpose for which it was intended in a
manner that cannot be surpassed. Elec-

WHY THEY DON'T CO.,
TO BE CONTINUED.

Burdette hits many nail on. the.
head. How like human excuses are
the following:
$50 you are not going to church this
morning, my son?".
"Ah, yes I see. The music is not
good that's pity. That's what you
20 to church for, to hear the music.
And the less we pay, the better music
we demand"
"'And the pews are not comforta-
ble.' That's too bad-the Sabbath day
is day of rest, and we 60 to church
to repose. The less we do through
the week the more rest we clamor for
on the Sabbath"
The church is so far away; it is
too far to walk, and detest riding in
u street car, and they're always so
crowded on the Sabbath That is,
indeed, distressing. Sometimes when
I thiuk how much farther away heav-
en- is than the church, and there are
no conveyances on the road of any
description, 1 wonder how some of US
are going to get there"
"tAnd the sermon is so long always
All these things are indeed to be re-
GREETED. I would regret them more
sincerely, my boy, did. I not know that
you will often squeeze into stuffed
street car, with 100 other men, breath
ing an incense of whisky, beer and
tonacco, hang on strap by your eye
lids for two miles and then pay SO
cents for the privilege of sitting on a
rough plank in the broiling sun for
two hours longer, while in the inter-
vals of the game scratch band will
blow discordant thunder out of dozen
misfit horns right into your ears, and
then come home to talk the rest of the
family into a state Of aural paralysis
about the 'dandiest game you ever saw
played on the ground
"Ab, my boy you see what staying
away from church does. 1t develops a
habit of lying. There isn't one man in
100 who could 60 on the witness stand
and give, under oath, the same reason
for not going to church that he gives to
his family every Sabbath morning. My
son, if you don't think you ought to
20, you wouldn't make any excuses
for not going. No man apologies for
doing right
