Hon. M. F. Gilbert called the meet ing to order and said the committee of Fifteen had suggested V. H. lluette us temporary 'chairman-. Mr. Ilcette was accepted by the as semblage and Prof. T. C. Clendenen wns chosen secretary, Prof. Iiannis ti t tn-asi rer. Chairman Huette made a ringing little speech setting forth the pur p;es of the meeting and the need of thx organization propose.! to be termed. He expressed the belief that tlve people of Cairo were ready to take action In the mutter. Some aaid It would be impossible to check the election frauds but he believed It cenl.i be done, and the colored voters Wffo going to help In the movement. Mr Huette grew eloquent when he appealed to the latter, referring to tie- five thousand graves at Mound CHjv National .'cemetery, where lay thai many men who had left stricken hearts at home to fight for their country and for the negro's freedom the rivers of blood hit I ad flowed and the mountains of money it had cost, to gain this end. He asked what these five thousand men would say if they were told that all thdr sacrifice were made only in order that the negro might hawk his bal lot about the streets on election day. He did not believe the negroes pres ent would stand for that state of tblns but wonld help to the extent! of their ability to correct the evils coin pla ined of. There were shouts of apj roval from the negroes present. lion. Walter Warder said he was present becarse he wished to lie with th; uheep and not with the goats, win never there w as any chance for it,' and this movement certainly c;ii bivced the sheep, and he wished to have his name on the list. He be lieved the Illegitimate spending of money waa the greatest evil: any evils in the registration or in the counting of votes could be easily reached by the appointment of good men as election judges and clerks, and by agreement between the two pclitlcat organizations; but the buy ing of votes was the greater evil and was more difficult to reach. Or ganization whs net ess a ry to reach) ibis. .Mr. Warder expressed himself j In full sympathy with the move ment. Douglas Ha'liday said he would do Whatever he cou'd to help the move ment along. fe ling that Cairo could h: v and should have reforms at her t let tions. Hen. M. F.

The primary election law was wrong in exempting the pur chaser am', providing punishment '' idle seller of votes, lie believed th compter was worse than the temple. i, the seducer worse than the seduced. He believed the primary law was un cepstitutional because cf the pro vision referred to.

Wood, chairman cf the li( Pfblican county central commit tea and one cf the committee of fifteen, assured the? meeting that the charge i:.:;de by some people that tie? move ment was started by people who had axes to grind was untrue. Not a member of the committee was a can didate for any office; so far as he km w not a in.n connected with the movement had any purpose except to correct the election evils that had been complained of. It cost too much money to run for office In Cairo. He relt that to reach th? evil would be "a treinou.lous job," and if the good people were not any mote active than they were at elections they would not succeed. One great trouble had been that so few citizens lock any interest in their elections. There were never more than three or fcur In each ward who would give any time to the elections. At this point Chairman Huette in terrupted t lie speaker with a call to ail who were willing to give one day to election work to stand up. Every one rose Mr. Wood continuing said if citi zens took more interest in their elec tions there would be less corruption. Tin re were no men more afraid of going to the penitentiary than the politicians, and if they knew they w re being watched, they would be careful. He knew bad things had hi en done by the Kepulicans, nut uie other fellows had not been awleep. Five hundred negroes had gone to the polls and sworn they cotna not read or write and permitted the judge to n aik their tickets for them. They knew they were swearing a ".1 d lie- when they did this. Laughter and applausel. He felt sure he could h eak for the Republican organiza tion and say they would aid in the movement as far as possible. He hoped the movement would not be perniitted to die. .1 S. Aisthorpe made a fervent lit tl. speech heartily endorsing the movement. He said it made no dif fcinice if other cities were bad also, or wotse; we had to act for our selves We wanted to be assured that our candidates for office will be elected by the people, not by ihe cor rt! tlenists.

FIERCE ATTACK ON AMERICANS TWO NEW YORKERS WHO IN TEND VISITING ENGLAND BRANDED MURDERERS. IN -HOUSE OF COMMONS Redmond Defends Them Unionist? Want Home Sscretary to Refuse . Them Permit Gladstone Makes Reply. London, Nov. 17. The approaching; visit to this country cf Patrick Ford., t editor of the. Irish World of New (York and O'Meaghor Condon was the occasion of an extraordinary at tack in the house of commons this after noon. James Craig, rnlonist member from the eastern division of Down opened the fight by nuking Premier Asriuitli if he was aware that Mr. Fcrd, who had been declared by three ; bulges to he a known advocate of th t bp of dynamite, and Mr. Condon, who had been sentenced, to death for the murder ol' an English policeman, intended visiting this country. j Mr. Craig asked also whether li . censes perniitted them to do so, and,, if not, what action the executive pro-; posed to take. i Earl Winton, Conservative, followed this up with a reference to the find ing of the Parnell commission by ask- j ing whether "any steps had been ta!:-j en to prevent these well known atJ-! tutor from coming lo this country."! Heme Secretary Gluds'.cne answer ed Earl Winton in these words: Condon Was Pardoned. "I am no aware cf the intentioi.s of these persons. Neither of them is the holder cf a license." .John Redmond immediately .jumpe I to his feet and hotly appealed to the speaker. One of the persons men tioned, he informed the speaker, wuh an official of the American govern ment, and it was incredible that such epithets were permitted lo be applied to a high official, who has beon In the servite cf the Cnited States for twen ty years. The speaker agreed that if th- statements In question were true thevZnw .,, ought net to appear. Mr. Craig offered to send Mr. Redmond prof's of th .s truth cf the facts stated in his tpies. lion. Mr. CladMone, n cognizing the insufficiency of his first reply, supple mented it with the following state ment : "Mr. Ford, so far as I know, ha.t not been convicted of any criminal cflense in this country; as regards Mr. Condon, a royal pardon, under tin great steal, was 'given him in 1S7S.''
