At the Junction during the entire forenoon the Ihivenport party held what was virtually a session. President Michael Jones was loud in his denunciation off Frank Miow an uutit for the Mwdtton of city recorder.

He said: are not anxious that Ihivenport shall receive cast igat ion for any wroutf doing of which he has been guilty. We don't know of such wrongdoing. But what we do desire in the recorders chair is one who is fitted to the posit ion aud has he confidence of those who respect the law.

The Tvmocratlo nomiuee for recorder is unequal to the disposition off the duties of recorder. When policemen bring forward caes he trial of these must be expedited so hat the officers may go home. In short, an old liiau is not what we want and we W'iii not have him. Neither will we have a man who uohody can say possesses the ieat fitness for the position.

It was seconded and carried amt thus the matter was disposed of. You know it would he suicide for uh to drop our candidate after having ex-pencoerd much rouble in scuring a good inuu. We could not get a man In future to go on our ticket. 1 admit that we have not nil the labor element in our organization, but a large majority of the brick layers, stone masons and stone cutters are flouting population and non-voters.

Many of them hoard in Battle Row. and as a matter of course go on an occasional drunk.

On December 1, lsMi, representatives of the labor unions of Cook county orguiiid the Chicago Cooperative Parking and lro ision company, the intent ion being to prove to the big packing houses that their lin were entitled to more money for their work hv showing that it was labor and not enpitul that earned the profits.

A meeting of colored men was held in the basement of the Allen chapel at Tenth and Uhariotle streets last night to express their indignation over the defeat of Paul Jones for nomination for city attorney. About loti colored men were in attendance. Mr. John Roan acted as chairman of the meeting. which was addressed by Dr.

James Hendsrsou, Paul Jones, and James Woodland. W. W. Yates, the editor of the colored new-p-ipcr, tlie irate iVt, attempted to speak, but as it was generally until rsiood tiiat lie was going to Mayor Kuuipf, the men ho were eng neering the meeting would uo' tilow him be heard. A committee was a.

pointed to -TPort resolutions. but it decided that Jt would not be ad- ls.thle to attempt to pus any resolutions at that meeting, and the gathering adjourned without taking any net ion. The bolt of tlie eoiored voters on account of Joness defeat, lmt which much talk is being seems to he confined principally to tie colored leaders. The imlica-ranotis arc that a very large portion of the most intelligent colored men are very Indignant at their actions. Mr.

If there are co.ored men registered, as they say there are, i of them will vote the straight Republican tckct. iiie morning papers say tnnv were l'W men at the meeting iaat night, and who will say that those 1U nten represented the colored voters of Katisast'tty?

I lias talk, 11 li many colored meu who do not pretend to be politicians or lenders, and they are to a man in f.isor of the Republican ticket.
