9. That Michael Boland and D. C. Feeley, the former by acts and the
latter by assent, are guilty of attempting to pack the Pittsburg
convention by, first, excluding the delegate from the Pacific
Slope; second, excluding Mr. McLaughlin, delegate from Dakota;
third, excluding O'Sullivan and Delaney, rightful delegates from
New York; fourth, admitting the Rev. Dr. Betts and John J. Maroney,
on bogus credentials from the bogus districts; fifth, admitting
Boland and Malone, illegal delegates from New York; sixth,
admitting proxies from Iowa, Brooklyn, and Illinois; seventh,
sitting as delegates themselves in direct violation of the
constitution.
10. That the $80,491, reported to the district convention as having
been spent in active work was not spent for any such work, no such
work having been done or contemplated during the eleven months
within which this large amount was drawn from the treasury. The
active work done between the Boston and other district conventions,
was paid for out of the surplus held by the agent of the Triangle
at the time of the Boston convention, and not out of the $87,491
drawn from the treasury months after such active work had ceased.
11. That Michael Boland and D. C. Feeley, the former by acts and
the latter by silence, are responsible for the expenditure of this
large amount of money, and censurable for deceiving the district
convention as to the purpose for which it was spent.
12. That Michael Boland, Alexander Sullivan, and D. C. Feeley, the
former by acts and the two latter by assent, illegally suspended
D's in January, 1885, and that Michael Boland and D. C. Feeley, the
former by acts and the latter by assent, illegally suspended U.
D.'s in New York, in January, 1886.
Yours, respectfully, P. MCCAHEY.
I concur in the within and foregoing report, and would recommend,
in strict fairness to all concerned, and in justice to the entire
organization, that the evidence, from which were deducted the
foregoing, be printed by F. C. and sent to each D. O. and by him
read at the general meeting or district over which he presides.
P. H. CRONIN.
Signed Jan. 19, 1889.
