Brady's monumental lmpu- ienee in trying to induce congress to ap' point him as poo.bah of Alaska, and rob us of our right to elect our own delegate to congress. would be hot number, ,". for everyone in town appeared 10 be consider ably worked up upon the subject. But it was all one-s led, and the speeches that were made were as conservative and mol crate In tone as fl delivered in dellberatlve assembly. The hall was well filled, but Brady had not a single friend there. Many had expressed during the last two. days their desire to state their views on the Alaska legislation pending in congress.
 nd particularly on the Grout bill, tut the resolutions seemed to so exactly express the sentiments of those present that they saw nothing further to urge. Several did suggest that the protest against such legls- atlon, and against the maehinatlon Of the governor, be worded in stronger tens, in the strongest terms possible, but no mo- tlons were made to that effect and they were passed unanimously just as Mr. Jen nlngs wrote them. Every resolution was passed unanimously. and there was a hearty enthusiasm prevailing which dem onstrated that Alaska's citizens arc thor oughIv awakened to the political possibll' tiles and the importance of carly action to protect Alaskan interests. This one of the first political meetings held in Skagway, was a great success.

 Dr. Keller called the meeting to order and on the motion of Mr. Jennings he was elected chairman of the meeting. His re- marks were few, mostly stating that the meeting had been called by the Chamber Of Commerce for the whole of the citizens to take some action In reference to legisla- tlon obnoxious to Alaskans now pending In congress
 On motion of Mr. Laramie Mayer, MT. Weston Coyney was elected secretary Of the meeting.
 Judge Dav, in order to get at the matter for which the meeting was called. asked the secretary to read a series of resolutions that he had prepared, and this having been done Mir. Day moved their adoption.
 Mr. Jennings seconded the motion and said that he favored them as far as they went but he thought that tie meeting should go further; that an effort should b: made to put a stop to the agitation started and kept up by Governor Brady in favor of having the public offices at Sitka. He thought 1t was we'll to inform congress that we had had representative eoaven- tlon, at which certain legislation was rec commended. and at which John C. Price was elected the representative of Alaska, and that he was the olly one-and not Governor Brady, who was clothed With authority tJ represent the people of Alaska l ne lne0 Icdu lllC lOilOMHb'
