TOO BAD, BUT
he Was FIRED
A Lively and Enthusiastic Pow
WOW Held by the "Git-
Together Club.
FALLS TAKEN OUT OF. FRED
A Good Healthy Kick Caused
Much Dissention.
Employees Inform Bach &
Co. That They Will Join What
D.. Club They Please-.-In the
Sweet Bye and Bye.

Filed-This was the rather pheasant"
experience OF a representative of TIE
Sun, when he appeared at the regular
weekly "confab' Of the "Git-Together,"
alias the "Git-Out," alias the Lincoln
Club, on Saturday evening.
The '1ag tair' supporters of Mr.. Fred
Eden Bach & Co., have evidently been
reading the reports of the subsequent
"pow vows of the Git.Together"
organization that have appeared from
time to time in The SUN.
The reporter did not mind the rather
cruel manner of his sudden and unex.
pected ejectment, but the "gentle" force
with which it was accomplished.
However, by-gones should not be
thought Of even, if crutch is about to
be used in summary manner on some
ones head.
The meeting of the "would-be' or
"want- -to-be'' or "disgruntled' appli-
cants for political honors is said to have
been ''peach."
The trouble is alleged to have started
over the distinction made on levying an
assessment of s. on some OF the members
and 81 on others.
A good healthy "kick" was started
overthis matter and it is understood that
the 'lesser lights or S3 members gained
their point and in order to "harmonize," :"
all "men" in the club were made equal.
This evidently was first blood for sup
parters of harmony" and the next
"fal" taken out of the "aristocracy" OF
of the temporary "Gt Together organ
ization was through the instrumentaity
Of postoffce employees.
They, it is said, quietly informed
Bach 4 Co., that they would join any
club they d pleased, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mr. Bach had sent them
confidential letter 10 the effect that
their positions were in danger unless
they joined forces with the "Git-To-
gether' club.
This also was taken with meekness by
the "high-toned' political office grab
bers."
In fact it is stated that the utimatum
was taken with such meekness, that an
"exploson' is expected in the course Of
the next tWOM eeks.
What the nature of this will be could
not b., ascertaincd, but it is intimatcd IN
the "SWeet Bye and Bye" the dissatisfied
clement of the ''united'' and satisfied"
club known as the "Git-Togethcr," will
be treated to the sauce course of treat
ment adopted in getting rid of the re-
porer--tired.
