Y., April 5—A thousand men voaring banners and transparcncies and headed by a band of music escorted ex- Secretary Charles N. IMairchild, ex-Mayor Gray and Hon. Frank L. Thornton tonight to Music hall, where were gathered 2,000 peoble 1o hear their protests agaiust tho “zuap con- vention” and their reasons for revolting egainst tho alleged bossism which dictated and dominated 1t. The assemblage includea many ladies, some rcpublicavs and a few Hill democrats. 'Lbe Hill democrats were practicaily very mid, and only ono disturb ance was raised by any individual and ho was promptly expeiled. Much enthusiasm ‘was shown, John Ehrlbacher, president of the Erio County Democratic club, the new organ- ization formed by the Cleveland men, cailed the meeting to order and nominated Mayor Bishop for the presidency. His honor spoke topefully of the great movement to secure a proper represeatation of the democratic party at the national convention, and briefly outlined the history of the movement which prompted this mecting. He reminded hi hearers that they had scen a logislature of ro political significance controlled by party leaders for selfish and personal reasons, and assumed to ben the namo of democracy. While party leaders wero necessary they would be réspected when content only to execute the will of the party which had honored them, and when they attempt to use the party to further their selfish personal ends they should be rebuked. Ex-Secretary Fairchild was the first speaker. He said: ‘*We propose to prove our case by going to the people. by going o our constituents, and asking them to give us credentials with which to go to Chicago to represent them. We propose to present our case to the national convention iu the way in which it invites us to do—to make our argu- ments, to address ourseives to the reason aud judgment of those who sit in judgment upon our case, and then wo propose 1o abide by the result loyally and fuithfully, and all wo ask of our opporents is that they rocog- nize our right to present our contést and that they be prepared, as we are, to abide by the decision of the' last tribunal of the party. Good and True Den ats, ““We are, however, told that our contesting delegates will render impossible the nomina- tion of a cendidate, because it will show such a division in the party as will make it dangerous to nominate anybody from our state. Why so! Who proposes to bolt the nominati Who proposes not to abide by tho action of the national convention! Surely the great organizations of the party: in ourcity will not make any such threats. They declare that they will support ome candidate as loyally as another. < “Had we donc nothing would the candi- dacy of Mr. Cleveland been promoted taereby, for it 1s of him I speak'when 1 say that we ijure his chances by our action. Ought wo to have left 1t to the world to say that the democracy of New York knew: no such man as Grover Cleveland; that they had never heard of such an aaministration as that which conducted the government from 185510 1589. Woe hope this fact will be brought before the national conventior the democrats of the stato of New Yor remember such an_admiuistration; that they. do know of the existence of such & man. Do you suppose it would have then appeared that Mr. Cleveland could carry the state of New York, if New York shculasend no dele- gation who knew of his existence " Ex-Mayor Grace of New York then spoke. Hesaid: **We, 100, are democral but wo think that demoeracy stands for somecthing more than success in & game where personal advantage is exalted above principle and whero organization is extolled as the eud of party effor: and not the means throvgh which the political consciousness of the masses may speak for itself, More than 10,000 names of democrats, voters residing in the metropolis, will without doubt sign a~ petition thau it is their desire to be represented at Chicago by a delegation which will truthfully represent the sentiments of a juajority of the demo- cratic voters of New York.” Hilt's Course erely Criticised, Hon. Frank Thornton was the last speaker, Referring to Senator Hill he said: “ln his reckless ramping for the nomination, he h shown himself ready to juggle with the tariff reform and to tamper with the stability and honesty of the people’'s money, to the in- evitable destruction of the democratic part aud the irrevocable ruin of the business of the country. Within the last three months he has been for tariff reform and against tariff reform. He has been for freo coinage and against it, and has mysteriously strad- dled due “south by ncrth’ upon it. And so this burlesque politician kicks and twists, and turns and bows, and smirks and throws kisses at tle po- liticai baldheads and tries to valm him- self off us an innocent young‘thing and a beauty and joy forever, and a Dolsartean dream of grace. when ull the while he is only making an indecent exposure of himseif as o political street walker, offering bimiself body and soul at tte low price of a vole or & aele- cato, Ihe poople are not prepared for a shifty, shuflling, equivocal, prevaricating candidato for the highest honor in their gift, Wo condema republicans, and rightly, for tampering with popular majorities 10 seat their partisans on technical grounds yet one of the atest achieve: ments for which Hul celeorates him- sclf was the capture of u stilo senatorial seat by the deliberate suppression of tho election returns and the counting out of an clected member of that bodv. The presi- dency can never be nehieved by such a man, nor by such methods. Nor will the peonlé permit him 10 dictate a nomination or to balk ihe gratification of their desire. From the shifty, paltering, mischief-making dema- gorue, they turn with abounaing confidence 10 the safi strong and steadiest democrat who stands square to every wind that blows, Who Ccares not to bo great, but rich in honest, noble service 1o the state,” Resolutions were adopted condemning the Pebruary convention, ratifying the call for the May couvention ' at Syracuse, and ais- claiming avy purpose to injure the party.

Notwith- standing bis evident popularity in the past, Cullerton met with violeat opposition, every paper in the cily, with the exception of & mall afternoou’ paper, being aguinst him.

Out of fifty or more of the principal cities and towus in the state the returns show victories for the repubiicaus for twenty-five, while twenty went domporatic.

BURROWS AND PAYNE LEAD IN THE FIGHT Democrats Discomfitted by Thelr Shrewd Opponents—Thelr Efforts to Limit Debpie on the Free Wool Bill Futile—In the Senate, Wasnixeroy, D. C., April 5.—The republi- eans of the house, for the first time this ses- sion, resorted to filibustering, and the enor- mous democratic majority of two-thirds found it lmpossible to overcomo the skillful tactics of Representatives Burrows and Payne and force the free wool bill to a vote. It has been rumored for somo time that the democrats would attempt to pass tho Springer bill be fore the ciose of the legislative day in order that it might have a political effect 1n aiding the democrats to carry Rhode Island. What- ever intentions there was some aays ago of rushing the bill through the house, there is no doubt that the plan was finaily abandoned before the departure of Chairman Springer yesterday for Virginia Beach. It had been gonerally understood by the members that it bad been agreed by the com- mittee on ways and means (democrats and republicans slike) that immediatoly after the house went fnto committee of the whole, a vote should bo taken without debate on Mr. Burrows' amendmont, which was pend- ing to strike the word ‘“wools” from the first section. The effect of this amendment is, of course, to strike out thasense of the bill. But when Mr. MecMillin moved that the debate on the first section be himited to one hour the republicans rose in revolt and demanded that two hours bs accorded. Resorted to the Filibuster. Pending a decision of the question, Speaker Crisp spoke sharply to Mr. Bur- rows in a manuer which that gentleman re- sonted and compelled the republicans to re- sort 1o filibustering mothods to_accomplish their ends, Under tho rules the dewocrats were powerless and the houso finally ad journed. There is no intention onthe part of the committee to bring a cioture rule and the fight will continue tomorrow with both sides arrayed as they were when the flag of truce was Taised this evening. The fight began when Burrows moved a recess until 4 o'clock, which was supple- mented by Payne of Now_ York with an amendment for & recess until 5. Tho repub- licans refrained from voting both on divis- ion and by tellers, broaking the quorum and compeliing the democrats 1o order tne yeas and nays. Mr. Payne’s ameadment was rejectod— yeas, 1123 nays, 153; but Mr. Payne was not idlo and interjocted anothier awendment for a recess until 4:30. Mr. Burrgws was doubtful whether this recess would prove to be long enough, and moved an amendment extending the time to 5 ‘The tellers on the latter’s motion reported that there were two geatiemen who were in favor of 5:10, while there were twenty-five who were opposed to it. But us this did not constitute @ guorum and Mr. Burrows ap- peared 5o uneasy that his amendnient would not receive a full vote that the nays and yeas were called. But the yeas and nays did not disclose a quorum, the vote standing: Yeas, 2; nays, 162, Mr. Mitler rose to move a call of the house, but he was waived down by Messrs. Bur- rows and Dingley, and the duty of making this motion devolvea on Mr, McMiliin, The cull was ordered. Yeas, 166 nays, 45. Mr. Burrow's Amendment Defeate The call skowed that there were 230 mem- bers in attendance and further proceedings under the call having been dispensed witn, the vote recurred on Mr. Burrow's amend ment for a recess until 5:30. 1t was defeated - yeas, 0; nays, 175; and the speaker stated That the vote would be taken on Mr. Payne's amendmeut for a recess until 4:30. Mr. McMillin—Mr. Speaker, 1 wish —— Mr. Burrows—T'he pre:eding questio: o o for n recess. Is that debatable! I'ho Speaker—It is not. The gentleman objects. Mr. Burrows—I do not, Tho Speaker —The chair understands the gentieman's remark to be equivalent to an opjection. Mr, Burrows objection. “The Speaker—The motion is on the amend- ment of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Payue), to take a recess until oThe amendment was defeated—yeas 0, nays 108, Buta further amendment was offered by Mr. Burrows that the recess be until 6 o'clock. Mr. Payne thought that an adjournment would be more proper. The “ouse looked upon the motion to_adjourn with distavor and voted it down. Yeas, 37: nays, 171. Then Mr. Payne, evidéntly thinking that the hours fixed for Mr. Burrows for a recess would ot enable the members to obtain a satisfactory dinner, moved to extend it until 8 o'clock, and one-fifth of a quorum again set the merry-go-around again on its journey. Mr. Payne's amendment was rejected. Yous, 47; nuys, 172; and then Mr. McMillin, recognizing the fact that further persistence wus uscloss, moved an adjourament.

If it had amended the sonate bill, the matter could have gone to & conference committee. The bill was re- ported to the committee on foreigu relations. The question of assigning army officers 1o perform the dutios of Indian agents was re- sumed and Mr. Cullom argued agamst the proposition.

MRt BURROWS nese Exclusl PLAINS, Important to Postal Clerks—Utal alr— Washington Gossip. Wasnixerox, D. C,, April 5—In explana tion of his position, in the house today, Mr Burrows thisevening said: “When a mo tion is open to debate 1t las been the prac tice to mllow parties representing the two sides, if possible, to cume to some under. standing as to the time without having a vote. With thot in view and for no other purpose, 1 sought to maintain an under standing with Mr. MeMillin, who is in charge of the bill, whereupon the speaker assumed to say that debate was out of order. Of course I kuew that debate was out of order, but it is the first time in my ex- perience in the bouse that a member has been denied the opportunity to bring about, if possible, an amicable understanding. The course of the speaker was indefensible and unbecoming the presiding oficer of the house.” M. Pierce of Tennessee, ono of the most foremost advocates of the silver bill, left Washington for his home, In bis avsence the silver men will not put into execution the threat to filiouster the free wool vill. Utah Will Be Represente In order that Utah may not go uurepre- sented at the World’s fair, Mr. Washington of Teunnessee, chairman of the house com- mitteo on territories, roported favorably a vill introduced by Delegata Caine, providing for the appointment of a commission 1o see that Utah is properly represeuted. The bill aporopriates £0,000 for expenses. A bill of much importance to the postal clerks was today favorably reported by Sen- ator McMillan. Tho bill reclassifics the clerks and adds two moro classes, at salaries not exceeding respectively $1,000 and $1,500 & vear, besides increasing the maximum sal: ies of a1l the other classes, except the first, by about £100 a year.

J., April Governor Abe bett this moruing vetood the Lill logalizing the Reading railroaa combine on the grourd of uncoustitutionality. In his memorandum filed with the veto of the Reading railroad bill Governor Abbett says: “Itis plain that mombers of the legi lature considered that shey were, in passing this vill, pursuiug the settled policy of the state which Las been to encouragé rather than to discourage the consolidation of rail- road corporutions having a cowmmon interest in trapic. A caroful explanation of the act fails to disclose any authority afforded by it which would autliorizo or assistany com- bination to control the necessaries of life, Thero is nothing which authorizes a control of prices by the corporations veyond the natural rule of supply and demand," Tne governor wado the poiut that experi- ence aoes not show that ao increase in the price of an _article lruhhroruwi is o natural result of raiiroad consolidution where there are other ruilroad facilitics, Ouly a comb vation of all the railroads carrying coal BCross the state might orcasion such a result.
