There was no doubt about the satisfaction

in opening the meeting to nave seized
this time to be a hero. The men who are
| irving up their freedom their lives. from
sell known authors down to the poorest

Conditions in Russia. hard and ever

rebellion" he said, ARE due 70 tyranny.
! Tyranny alone has sowed the seeds Of the

Mr.. Wynchefsky spoke for the Yiddish
Bund. a part of the Russian Jewish labor
organization in Russia which has recently
Joined the other parties forming the aug
mented party Of revolution. In part he
said:
During the last century the Russian
| Government has resorted TO the expedient
Of war whenever a revolution was about
to break out. In $50, in 1854, in 1877 Rus
! sia made war on Turkey. The Decemorist
movement the revolution followed by the
! freeing of the serfs the upheayaIs oil 1919
were accompanied by war In Russia. And
| so, when this revolution was Impending
| Russia had TO go to war with Japan
The evil genius in this case was Sergius.
| fHowls of excitement and rage The
war helped TO bring on the death OF 5o.o0o
persons Tho whole country feels Jusu-
| he'd In taking the life of the man who has
been most instrumental in the loss oil 30
many lives
we meet TO show our gratitude to those
who have made the sacrifice Of their own
lives for the purpose OF removing serglus.
We empower DR. Tschitlowsky on his return
| to give expression to this gratitude. The
| spea ker turned and grasped the hand OF Dr
| Tschitlowsky, one of the fighters in the
Organization OF Terror who Is soon 70

became frantic with appreciation. Dr.
Tschitlowsky arose in acknowledgment
and Wynohetsky kissed him fervently IL
was some time after this before the meet

rice Katz TO begin his speech.
Mr. Katz Is one Of the editors OF For
udrd. Every one was eager to listen to
him. -, o.

called the Combative League. Our night
ing company, then, in this last act OF klllihg
Sergius has answered the cry OF suffering
humanity in Russia. We are against
tyranny.
The Government gets more embittered
and uses more ferocious means toward us.
Otherwise reform would have come long
ago. But we understand that tue hghtlng
! orpa niza ton does not Use bombs any too
often. When the Government drops kill
ing and abuse, we will be glad enough TO
adopt peaceful methods.

and the audience eubsided, only to renew
its cries every few moments, until the last
few days the Russian Government thought
that the spirit OF revolt was not united.
They thought to rope IN the Liberals by their
: small concessions, they thought that the
| dull mujik would remain as subdued as
r ever, they thought the parties. the factions
were forever separate
; This staying of Sergius. this execution
of the condemned was promised to them.

TO them The whole OF Russia, and after
that the whole world will at last see their
- heroism through your eyes.
