good OF the body. There are some parts
of the document which are not made 80
as TO cover all points which are liable 10
come up and others that are now as clear
| on matters as might be wished.
1t was the consideration OF these that
| caused the recommendations 10 be pre-
sented by the body. After some time was
| spent in viewing the points from all sides
| the whole was tabled for later meeting.
1 The reports OF the various labor day
| committees for the several locals were
| then made and showed that arrangements
had been completed even to the disposi-
ton of the prizes that are to be won In
| the parade
| A question came up relating 10 the
banking principles OF some OF the houses
| of the city. II seems that there mas oeen
| some misunderstanding between the trus-
tees OF the council and the directors OF
| the banks The matter will be investi-
| patea later and the difficulties righted.

f. J. SULLIVAN FOR PRESIDENT.
One OF the best meetings held by the
Plumbers union I'm some time was tha'
Of last evening, when the body elected 0
president and chose for the honor Repre-
sentative Ed. j. Sullivan. The BODY also
made him foot marshal.
II was a great session and the business
done would fill almost quarto volume
Most OF It. however was OF a routine ma
. ture and consisted OF hearing reports from
, the various committees and reading com
munications.
The matter Of most interest during the
evening was the election OF president to
; All the vacancy made by the resignation
of Mr.. Coleman, who is now the business
; agent OF the body. There was grea'
field OF candidates and the argument'
for one and against the other candidates
by the various friends would have served
+ admirably during the coming campaign
It being pity that such talent should p'
: heard no further than the circles OF th'
union.
Talking OF politics, when II comes e
nolitical methods the local last evening
had the national parties beaten at tn
